Amy Schumer, Lena Dunham, Gina Rodriguez and More Talk Comedy

comedy actress roundtable

-The Hollywood Reporter gathered Emmy hopefuls Amy Schumer, Lena Dunham, Gina Rodriguez, Ellie Kemper, Kate McKinnon, and Tracee Ellis Ross to talk comedy, sexism, and drunk costars.

-Meanwhile, I amazed there aren’t a million think pieces about how Amy Schumer is in the middle of a near-perfect television season (or maybe there are and I’m just missing them?). Her latest skit puts Bill Cosby on trial.

Archie Panjabi wouldn’t deny that the awkward final Good Wife scene between her and Julianna Margulies was pieced together with CGI, telling both E! News and Us Weekly: “All I can say is this: the decision making process is not something I’m privy to.” I wonder if Margulies is planning any damage control? Because no matter what went down or whose fault the feud is, the fact that there was such a lack of professionalism (but her, by the showrunners, by CBS bigwigs) that it was allowed to go that far is so very gross.

George Clooney‘s aging secret? Embrace it (and, you know, try not to be a woman in Hollywood).

-It looks like Kristen Stewart and her girlfriend Alicia Cargile are still going strong (and still making me want to chop off all my hair).

Bradley Cooper and Emma Stone were roommates while filming Aloha — which sounds like the premise of a really terrible sitcom.

-Ok, I know I’m a cynical robot who’s dead inside, but did anyone else sprain their eye from rolling it so much during Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed’s wedding video? Anyone??

Nicole Kidman‘s Grace of Monaco trainwreck finally aired on Lifetime this week, and the screenwriter live-tweeted everything that went wrong. (He had nice things to say about Milo Ventimiglia, at least).

-Speaking of former Gilmore Girls actors, it’s pretty rich that the guy who played Luke is bragging about his chemistry with Lauren Graham. ‘Cause when the show was airing, it kinda seemed like they didn’t like each other very much.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers has apologized to fans after those drinking photos hit the web, calling it a “minor relapse.”

Colton Haynes wore a hot pink suit to the San Andreas premiere and I hate it — but I also think it was a crazy smart career move. Get it, kid.

Meek Mill says he and Nicki Minaj are not engaged because they’re “still learning each other, feeling each other out.” He knows about the no take-backsies rule, right?

-The trailer for Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee features Stephen Colbert, Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, Jim Carrey, and Bill Maher.

Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris are still a pap-worthy thing.

-Here’s some footage of Ben Affleck doing Batman-y stuff on the Suicide Squad shoot, which would be a lot cooler if it hadn’t completely taken over my neighborhood this week. #GetOffMyLawn

-We may never know Netflix viewership numbers, but Daredevil tops the list of original programs in terms of user ratings, while Bojack Horseman sits in last place.

Jason Segel goes full Capote as David Foster Wallace in the trailer for The End of the Tour.

-Also, here’s an excerpt from Jason‘s new kids’ book.

-The Point Break remake trailer makes me physically angry. Remember the part in the original where Keanu Reeves and Lori Petty are floating on their surfboards and he reaches out and grazes her thigh? Why you gotta mess with our memories, Hollywood?!

 

Vanity Fair’s Star Wars Issue Offers Lots of New Clues

Star Wars Vanity Fair cover

-May the 4th be with you, indeed. Vanity Fair’s new Star Wars photos solve the mystery behind Lupita Nyong’o and Adam Driver‘s  characters. Not sure how I’m feeling about Lupita’s character being purely CGI…

Gwendoline Christie as the Chrometrooper is totally badass, though.

-Also in the issue, J.J. Abrams reveals he wanted to kill off Jar Jar Binks. Who could possible object to that?

Sofia Vergara has broken her silence on the ongoing saga involving ex Nick Loeb and their frozen embryos.

-Here’s the first single off David Duchovny’s new album. While I was cringe-listening to it with my headphones on, my coworker asked why I was blushing, so that should tell you something…

-This story about how a lawyer fell in love with Michael Douglas’ son and smuggled drugs into prison for him is a good/crazy read.

-Ugh. Sleepy Hollow is dropping Orlando Jones. They totally misused that character in season 2 but that could easily be fixed. And that man understands and interacts with fandom like no other actor I’ve ever seen.

-If you ever wanted to watch Sean “Diddy” Combs have sex, his new NSFW perfume ad is for you. Also, what’s wrong with you?

-I, like the rest of the universe, saw Avengers: Age of Ultron this weekend, and while there was lots to like about it, I hated hated hated what they did with Black Widow. After her awesome introduction in the first movie, she was reduced to making googly eyes at a dude and sing “lullabies”? Super disappointing, especially since I expect more from Joss Whedon. This EW article sums up my issues nicely.

-Speaking of disappointing Joss Whedon news, he just quit Twitter. Sigh.

-In other blockbuster movie news, Harley Quinn and the rest of the Suicide Squad have been revealed — and the internet is underwhelmed. This is the second time in a week that David Ayer has tweeted out character art and been burned by it. 

-A Toronto woman saw Ricky Gervais trying to hail a cab and offered him a ride — which he took.

Busy Philips posted a hilarious Instagram pic with the drunk guy she met on a plane. It sounded a lot like when Liz Lemon met Oprah.

-Watch Justin Timberlake play a lime in this very strange tequila commercial. I…don’t get it.

-It looks like Amy Schumer is going to blow up the interwebs again with her 12 Angry Men bit, which debuts next week. Until then, her New Yorker profile is great.

Nikki Reed is posting cutesy pics from her Mexico honeymoon with Ian Somerhalder. The paparazzi is also helping out.

David Beckham finally got Instagram, and his first order of business was to post Spice Girl reunion pics. He’s a quick study!

-Just when you thought the Madonna/Drake kiss couldn’t get any weirder comes her comments about it.

-The Absolutely Anything trailer, starring Simon Pegg, is a total delight.

 

Anna Kendrick Defends Mae Whitman

Mae Whitman retweeted HitFix’s article speculating about why Independence Day 2 recast her, which basically confirms their theory that she wasn’t Hollywood hot enough. Total BS, especially since The Duff overperformed and solidified her status as bankable. I’m with Anna Kendrick on this one.

-How can you not love Mae when she wears a suit covered in naked ladies?

Ian Somerhalder’s wedding guests included Vampire Diaries’ costars Kat Graham, Paul Wesley and Matt Davis. If Nina Dobrev ever had an excuse to bail on an event, it was this one.

-Why would Susan Sarandon agree to be on a reality series? WHY?

-I adore Kristen Wiig‘s rambling, in-character (but not really) appearances on Fallon.

-NBC is pulling a Netflix and is going to make the entire season of David Duchovny‘s Aquarius available online after the first ep airs this summer. This is probably only exciting to people who’ve never tried to watch anything on NBC.com.

Chris Evans surprised the crap out of Scarlett Johansson on Ellen and it was hilarious. Thank god. That press tour needed a win.

-Weird: we nearly had John Krasinski as Captain America and Emily Blunt as Agent Carter.

Ben Affleck tried to creep around the Toronto set of Suicide Squad unnoticed. It didn’t work.

-This is a great story about how Hollywood keeps women out (even though it doesn’t depict George Clooney in the best light).

Kevin Spacey was owned by a 5-year-old in a presidential trivia challenge on Ellen.

-Can someone please explain Clickhole to Russell Crowe? ‘Cause this is getting embarrassing.

-I don’t understand how Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 keeps casting people I love. I don’t have to see this movie, do I? Please Hollywood, don’t make me see this movie.

-What it’s like to be friends with Amy Poehler? (Spoiler alert: it’s awesome)

-The custody battle between Rosie O’Donnell and her estranged wife over their 2-year-old daughter is getting ugly.

-Depressing: Nicholas Brendon (Buffy’s Xander) continues to break our hearts. There’s a warrant out for his arrest in Florida.

Jaden Smith shared a moment with Owen Wilson and tweeted about it because celebs are just like us.

Blake Lively’s backup plan is to go to Harvard Business School. Mwahahaha!

-No surprise here: Oprah just pulled the plug on Dr. Oz’s radio show.

-Wait, wait, wait — the new Emma Stone/Ryan Gosling movie is going to be a musical? I think I just got the vapors.

-Speaking of swoonage, how am I supposed to handle a double dose of Tom Hardy in the same film?!

-The trailer for Cameron Crowe’s Aloha, starring Bradley Cooper, Bill Murray, Rachel McAdams and Emma Stone, looks very Cameron Crowe-y. I can’t decide if that’s a good thing or not.
