Chris Pratt and Chris Evans: Happily Ever After?

–Chris Pratt says he and Chris Evans would make a “really happy” married couple. Ok, who’s been reading my dream journal?!

-Tonight’s the MET Gala, but if you’ve messed with Anna Wintour, forget about attending. (Although that doesn’t explain how Gwyneth Paltrow got back on the list?)

–Kanye West has already confirmed he won’t be attending with Kim Kardashian — but the Ocean’s 8 actresses will reportedly be filming scenes for the movie there, so who needs ’em?

-The hardest-working man in Hollywood is about to work even harder: Ryan Seacreast has been named as the new cohost on Live with Kelly.

-Congrats to Oscar Isaac and Elvira Lind, who welcomed their first child — a baby boy.

-Ah. This explains why everyone on my Twitter feed was so angry at Katy Perry this weekend.

-It’s probably a good thing that Neill Blomkamp‘s Aliens sequel is dead.

-As if the character of Ayra hasn’t been through enough on Game of Thrones, Ed Sheeran will sing to her this season.

-Gotta say, if a flight attendant slipped me a napkin with “I was once a Daddy’s girl too,” I’m not sure I would have handled it as well as Gwyneth Paltrow did. Oh god, is GOOP a better person than I am?!

–Lea Michele has never eaten fast food and does not consume candy. We lead very different lives.

-I don’t even watch Once Upon a Time but I’m a sucker for watching musical episodes to see if they pull it off or belly flop. Hard to tell from this preview but Colin O’Donoghue is dreamy.

brie-larson-vanity-fair

If it gets canceled, we’ll say ‘c—’ on television, and we’ll go be farmers.'”

–John Boyega photobombed Star Wars fans for charity. These videos always make me giggle.

–Serena Williams says her pregnancy announcement was a social media slip-up. She was taking photos for herself of her progress and she pressed “the wrong button.”

–Elisabeth Moss backtracked and now says The Handmaids Tale is obviously feminist.

–Alexis Bledel is getting great reviews as Ofglen in The Handmaid’s Tale, which is surprising because as much as I like her, her acting skills have never really bowled me over.

-Speaking of The Handmaid’s Tale, here’s a good refresher for those of us who haven’t read it since high school.

-There was a That Thing You Do reunion and it looked delightful.

–Paris Jackson looks so much like Madonna in this Vanity Fair pic that it’s creeping me out a bit.

-This story about the late Jonathan Demme at the TIFF screening of Moonlight is lovely.

-I’m glad someone wrote about this because I’ve been thinking the same thing for weeks: Where the hell is the Wonder Woman promotion?? I feel like I’ve seen way more for the Justice League, and that comes out in November. WW is out in six weeks and it’s been crickets on the marketing front.

–Macaulay Culkin plays Kurt Cobain and gets crucified in Father John Misty’s trippy new video.

-I don’t watch Big Brother, but this is a really good read about how the 2008 winner and a castmate ended up in jail after using the winnings to start selling drugs.

Grey’s Anatomy’s Jesse Williams & Wife Aryn Drake-Lee Divorcing

–Jesse Williams and his wife of nearly five years Aryn Drake-Lee are splitting. Dammit. They were my gold standard couple for ‘incredibly hot-looking actor with gorgeous (but in a totally normal way) spouse’.

-It’s very cute that Selena Gomez attended her former Wizard of Waverly Place costar’s wedding.

–Katherine Heigl‘s new movie debuted to a mere $4.8M, marking a career worst. It’s almost unfortunate because I keep reading good things about the film’s ending and how it completely upends the obsessive woman archetype.

–Serena Williams has no time for racist remarks about her unborn child.

–Carrie Coon is having a moment (and yet still masters the art of dodging drunk people in NYC). Are you watching The Leftovers? It’s kind of perfect this season. Last night’s episode had the guy from Perfect Strangers (as himself) and instead of just playing it for laughs it was kind of heartbreaking.

-Some very bad fashion choices were made at Marie Claire’s Fresh Faces event.

-Great news: the new NBC comedy that Tina Fey is producing, Great News, is getting great reviews.

-Glee’s Naya Rivera may be dating David Spade? What??

-It tickles me that the network that’s running Jason Alexander‘s new show is sending out his headshot with the press release. Clowns have worn less makeup.

–Tom Cruise is doing his extra-intense thing in the international trailer for The Mummy.
