Margot Robbie Gets Creepily Profiled by Vanity Fair

margot-robbie-bikini-vanity-fair

-The new Vanity Fair cover story on Margot Robbie is so fawning and male gaze-y, I actually feel bad for her. From the nonsensical opening paragraph (“She is tall but only with the help of certain shoes”) to the unintentionally sexual flourishes (“The job of the celebrity journalist: peg ‘em so it’s not only as if you know ’em but always have known ’em or someone just like ’em. But Robbie is too fresh to be pegged”) to the weird transitions (“We sat for a moment in silence. She was thinking of something; I was thinking of something else”), it’s no wonder the internet is tearing it apart piece by superfluous piece. Not surprisingly, it’s from the same author who wrote that atrocious Nic Pizzolatto profile last year.

-At least he’s not lying about the fact that she’s only 26.

-Speaking of cover stories, Gwen Stefani opens up about her discovery of Gavin Rossdale‘s rumoured affair with the nanny in the new Harper’s Bazaar.  She says she found out the day after the Grammy Awards. “It was the beginning of hell. Like six, seven, eight months of torture, trying to figure out this big secret” and adds “All I wanted my whole life was to have babies, be married, like what my parents have”.

-This is fascinating: Jezebel polled some publicists to see if they think the Taylor Swift/Tom Hiddleston romance is fake. (I want to read an entire memoir written by that third publicist, since her whole quote is basically the embodiment of the fire emoji.)

Francis Bean‘s short-lived marriage may have cost her the guitar her dad played during Nirvana’s Unplugged appearance.

-To prep for its big move from CBS to the CW, Supergirl’s first season will re-air starting in August. It wasn’t for me, but the more eyeballs on female superhero shows, the better.

Stephen Colbert‘s story about meeting his wife will make you swoony.

Jesse Williams is vacationing with his Grey’s costar Ellen Pompeo, and she shared an adorable video of him pushing her off a paddle board.

-Also, even though he’s on holiday, Jesse’s still woke.

-Another day, another story about Louis CK being the exact opposite of how we all hope he is. ::sad face::

Mila Kunis looks lovely in her makeup-free shots Glamour magazine. I mean, if I was a rich 32-year-old I’d probably have dewy skin too, but still.

Conan O’Brien and Timothy Olyphant prove “TV’s a lie” in this scrapped clip.

Alex Kingston has joined the Gilmore Girls revival, which makes me very happy.

-Nothing really happens in the first trailer for FX’s new show Wake Up, but it stars Donald Glover so I’m already in the bag for it.

Are Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston Trolling Us?

-There’s a theory gaining steam that the Taylor Swift/Tom Hiddleston thing is actually performance art for a new music video, and the latest photos nearly have me convinced. Like, he wore a I Heart TS tank top this weekend? For reals? There’s *got* to be something more going on. The thing is though, TSwift is a smart businessperson…and this is not smart. How much longer can whatever this is go on before her fans feel like they’ve been let in on the joke and not feel like the butt of it instead? And even if this is all a big trolling experiment, why in the world would Hiddleston go along with it? This isn’t going to land him Bond. Night Manager reinforced his reputation as a suave Brit — and he’s destroyed it in a matter of weeks.

-Whatever is going on, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are in on it.

Ellie Kemper would like strangers to stop groping her belly bump.

-Speaking of Office stars and babies, John Kraniski and Emily Blunt had another daughter, whom they named Violet.

-Why the hell is Variety, of all places, posting bullshit, bullying articles examining Renee Zellweger’s face?!

-Meanwhile, THR is writing excellent, thought-provoking articles about why the Daniel Craig/Halle Berry L.A. riots film is a bad idea.

-God bless this People writer who quit her job and then released the Earth-scorching email she sent on her way out.

-Logic boner: Leonardo DiCaprio wants his L.A. friends to fly halfway across the world to fight global warming.

-The Toast is officially toast. Let’s pour one out and revisit my favourite ‘If X Was Your Boyfriend’: the John Cho edition.

-This American Life’s “Tell Me I’m Fat” episode is so worth a listen. Lindy West, Elna Baker, and Roxane Gay all talk about body acceptance.

-It’s blind item reveal day on CDAN. Even though I take that site with a giant grain/salt lick of salt, it’s always a good time, especially when he talks about the B-listers who get hired to be yacht girls.

-I actually really liked last night’s Preacher, but is one good fight sequence enough to redeem a show? I made that mistake with Daredevil.

Anna Kendrick is trying to get that Marvel cheddar.

Christie Brinkley has literally turned into an old person yelling at kids to get off her lawn, and I freakin’ love it.

Fergie‘s new video got over 10 million views this weekend. It’s being celebrated for being so empowering and teaching us that mothers are still f*ckable, which…um… ok.

Victoria and David Beckham celebrated their 17th anniversary with some very sweet Instagram posts.

-There are people out there that want Jesse Williams fired from Grey’s Anatomy. Apparently, there are also people out there who don’t know who runs that show.

-I really liked this article on Orange Is The New Black and the critique of empathy. (Sidenote: I saw the cast was at Toronto Pride this weekend and they looked like they were having a blast.)

-Today, we all learned that John Cena is awesome.

Game of Thrones Is Ending Sooner Than You Think

Sophie-Turner-InStyle-UK-July-2016

-I hate the styling of the inside photos of Sophie Turner’s InStyle UK photo shoot (why does it look like it was lit with a Bic lighter?), but at least they picked an OK cover photo.

-Speaking of Game of Thrones, the creators say there is only 15 episodes left — at most. Hmm, I wonder if HBO knows that?

-Meanwhile, Game of Thrones producers don’t want to hear your bitching about how fast Varys travels, mm-kay?

Tom + Lorenzo’s take on Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston‘s clumsy PR moves is predictably perfect.

Bradley Cooper has joined the long and cherished tradition of famous white dudes dancing awkwardly at musical festivals. He gets bonus points for the backwards ball cap.

-More proof that the Tarzan movie is doomed: they wouldn’t let Alexander Skarsgard wear a loin cloth.

-Despite starring in a blockbuster, Leslie Jones says no one wants to dress her for the Ghostbusters premiere. This is bullshit!

-My friend and I were talking about how we should arrange a girls’ night out on Ghostbusters opening night, just like we all did  for the first Sex and the City movie. Buzzfeed has 11 other suggestions.

Jesse Williams expanded on his BET Awards speech, saying he wants people to know “they are not alone.”

-Meanwhile, this is a really good take on what was wrong with Justin Timberlake’s tweets about Jesse Williams.

Tyrese Gibson will return for Transformers 5 — because he begged for it on social media.

-The Daily Show’s abortion tweet was bad. Their apology was worse.

Samantha Bee‘s segment on Brexit is fabulous. She talks about how the US needs to learn from the UK and dump Trump in a landslide, and then recruits David Tennant to read Scottish Trump insults.

Colin Firth and Patrick Dempsey face off over fatherhood in Bridget Jones’s Baby trailer. God, I’ve missed her voice!
