emilia-clark-sexiest-woman-esquire

Emilia Clarke says she was “photoshopped and drunk” during her Esquire cover shoot. The Photoshopped part was pretty obvious. I could barely recognize her.

-Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner does a pretty mean Jon Snow impression. Her Professor X impression could use some work, though.

Is Colin Farrell the reason Kirsten Dunst reportedly broke up with her boyfriend of four years Garrett Hedlund? I’m doubtful, but if true, she really needs to read the memoir his ex Emma Forrest wrote. Seriously gurl, read it!

-The fact that Michael Buble is being mercilessly mocked for the gross way he eats corn makes me way happier than it probably should.

-Prayer circle time, y’all. Prince has reportedly been hospitalized after an emergency landing in Illinois.

-Tough crowd. Jennifer Aniston was reportedly booed when she showed up late to the premiere of Mother’s Day. That’s seems like an overreaction. I’m sure she was only a little … wait… what’s that? She showed up an hour late? Never mind. Resume booing.

-I know celebrity pregnancy news comes in threes, but I’m super side-eying this report about Katie Holmes expecting with Jamie Foxx.

-Vulture’s piece examining why Hollywood keeps disrespecting Melissa McCarthy is so, so good. Why is everyone whining about how she needs a new agent instead of lining up to work with her? (I take issue with the notion that she surfaced out of nowhere, though — 7 seasons on the Gilmore Girls is a lot of exposure.)

-Sad news: Aisha Tyler and husband are divorcing after more than 20 years of marriage. She the bestest human ever and deserves a life filled with only happiness, rainbows and chocolate sprinkles.

-Jesus Christ. Did grown ass man Henry Cavill really give his 19-year-old girlfriend a promise ring? I was worried she would be too immature for him. Not anymore.

-The Ghost in the Shell producers are really leaning into the crapstorm. They reportedly ran VFX tests to make white actors appear Asian.

-MTV’s ‘delete you account‘ column is my new favourite thing. Erykah Badu wasn’t surprising but Parker Posey broke my heart a lil’ bit.

-Here’s a trailer for Mr Robot’s season two. I want it now!!

-This video of Paul Rudd getting excited when he heard his name being called by a kid is the best thing ever.

-The second best thing ever is this video of Stephen Amell correctly identifying photos of celebrity abs. It went from being impressive to being kind of scary. “That’s a before shot of Michael B Jordan.” Dude, let’s be friends. I think we share a lot of common interests….

Drake joined Rihanna onstage during her performance in Toronto last night.

-Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt’s second season is now on Netflix, and critics are saying it feels more like 30 Rock. Sign me up!

-Following news that Louis C.K.‘s experimental web drama Horace and Pete put him millions of dollars in debt, here’s an interesting examination of TV’s modern business models and the worth of art.

-I mean, I’m seeing this Nine Lives trailer and yet I still can’t quite bring myself to fully believe that Kevin Spacey plays a talking cat.

-This story about how a movie critic once pooped his pants while waiting to talk to James Cameron about Avatar might be the best thing I’ve read all week.

-A clothing company is claiming Beyonce didn’t give them enough credit in her Elle photo spread. Isn’t that the magazine’s job?

-Here’s the trailer for Nate Parker‘s eagerly awaited The Birth of a Nation, which set a record at the Sundance Film Festival when it was sold for $17.5 million.

George Clooney Criticizes Oscars’ Lack of Diversity

George Clooney Variety Cover

George Clooney is criticizing the Oscars for being too white which is all well and good, but his production company has never (EVER) hired a non-white/non-male director.  (And you know how much it pains me to speak ill of Georgie. Seriously, I feel cramps coming on just typing this…)

-The Academy president has also issued a statement on the lack of diversity among 2016’s Oscar nominees saying they are making moves to widen the member base, which is a good first step. But as important as expanding the voting body is, it’s even more important to expand the types of people who they’re voting on. Studio executives, financiers, producers, casting directors and more need to widen the net. White dudes continue to dominate the scene behind and in front of the camera.

-One person who is NOT going to support Jada Pinkett-Smith‘s Oscar boycott is the original Aunt Viv.

-Here’s Idris Elba‘s full speech to British parliament on the need for more diversity in TV. Who needs to read erotica when we have this??!

Jamie Foxx pulled a man from a car that flipped over outside his house. That sounds like some Tom Cruise-level heroics. Katie certainly has a type.

Bradley Cooper, Jake Gyllenhaal, Seth Rogen and more audition for the role of Cher Horowitz in Clueless for a new W video. I’d cast Jake in a heartbeat.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Falchuk: still a thing. Also, good on her for making a white bikini work. That rarely happens.

Derek Zoolander nailed Vogue’s 73 question challenge in a way no one has ever nailed it before!

Madonna has denied those reports that she was drunk at her Louisville show. (She doesn’t address the rumours that she was 3 hours late, tho.)

-Uh oh. HBO’s Westworld has halted production to finish scripts. This isn’t exactly a kiss of death (The Leftovers did the same thing in season 1), but it’s also not super comforting.

-Here’s another X Files review suggesting that if you can make it through the first two episodes, the third will flood your life with sunshine and happiness. #FingersCrossed

-Nothing makes me happier than Gillian Anderson’s complete and totally inability to remember old X Files episodes. The trivia part at the end of this interview is delightful.

-The NYT did a great profile on Rachel Bloom. Are you watching Crazy Ex Girlfriend? Why not?

-Nothing fascinates me more than finding out how much celebrities get paid to mention products on Instagram.

Zac Efron posted a Martin Luther King Jr. Day message on Instagram that somehow made it all about him. Between this and his lack of appearance on this morning’s High School Musical reunion on GMA, he’s on my shit list today.

-Oh wait, the Neighbors 2 trailer just came out and Zac is hilarious in it. #Forgiven. (Also, is this the first greenband trailer that’s included the word “shit” uncensored?)

Blake Lively Fixes Motorcycles Now

Blake-Lively-O-Magaine
Blake Lively talks about her latest projects in the April 2015 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine.

-Sentences that Blake Lively says unironically now include: “I’ll knit or cook—or work on a motorcycle, a skill my husband is teaching me” and “One of my latest projects was painting nature-inspired throw pillows.”

-I feel like rumours that Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx are secretly hooking up surface every six months or so, but this is the first time it’s coming from a source as reputable as People.

-Comedy Central is wisely cutting a controversial Paul Walker joke when they air the Justin Bieber roast.

-Meanwhile, David Arquette was kicked out of Justin Bieber’s 21st birthday party (repeatedly!), which might be the saddest thing I’ve ever heard.

-Here’s Michael Fassbender as Steve Jobs. He looks like Michael Fassbender.

-“Straight James Franco” interviewed “Gay James Franco” for a magazine. Spoiler alert: they’re both weird.

-During SWSW, Jimmy Kimmel and Matthew McConaughey made some hilarious TV commercials for a local video store in Austin.

-Vanity Fair did a St. Patrick’s Day gallery of stars posing in their magazine throughout the years while wearing green, and I went through the whole damn thing like a click bait sucker. The biggest question I was left with: Whatever happened to Jennifer Aniston’s “on-line chat site”?!?

-Two X Factor New Zealand judges were fired after they bullied a contestant (it was really weird). Lorde then swept in to save the day by sending the contestant a box of cupcakes.

Dominic Purcell is joining his Prison Break costar Wentworth Miller for the Arrow/The Flash spinoff  (though this article makes it sound like Robbie Amell has declined to be part of it). Here’s the thing: as much as I love both of the shows this thing is originating from, they can’t just keep making casting announcements without actually giving us the premise. Like, what the hell is this show going to be about?! ‘Cause it’s starting to feel like the CW just wants to cash in on a fandom that will follow them anywhere.

-Meanwhile, Stephen Amell pitched an idea to the CW of doing a Jason Reitman-esque live reading of Arrow/Supernatural fan fiction. I want this to happen so hard.

-Speaking of CW shows, I really dug the first episode of iZombie, which is premiering tonight to glowing reviews. It’s Veronica Mars meets Buffy meets Pushing Daisies, and once they get past the case-of-the-week stuff (which they’re already planning), I think it could go from being cute to being amazing.

Shailene Woodley did the barefoot thing again, this time at the Insurgent premiere.

Miles Teller, Wiz Khalifa, Jim Parsons and Jimmy Fallon played Catchphrase last night, and it was filled with awkward handshakes and terrible dancing.

Ashley Judd says she’s pressing charges against Twitter trolls for their vulgar comments. I don’t blame her. I love Twitter, but it sucks at dealing with harassment.

Kate Bosworth gets her horror on in the new trailer for Before I Wake. The scariest thing about this movie is clearly Thomas Jane‘s hair.
