Kim Kardashian Talks Taylor Swift, OJ Simpson

kim-kardashian-topless

-Despite my disdain for all things Kim Kardashian, I do find her interviews to be fascinating. Ignore all the nipple shots in her latest GQ cover story and focus on the juicy tidbits — like how the interviewer can barely sit through a 2-minute mind-numbing phone call between her and Kanye, or how she casually mentions that she went through the bag her dad removed from OJ Simpson‘s home during his arrest and that she didn’t find a murder weapon, or how Taylor Swift‘s rep drops the ultimate clapback statement: “Taylor does not hold anything against Kim Kardashian as she recognizes the pressure Kim must be under…Taylor cannot understand why Kanye West, and now Kim Kardashian, will not just leave her alone.” Jesus Christ, that’s good.

-And of course, immediately there’s rants about why we’re dumb to care about this cover story and celebrity culture in general. Luckily, there’s also already some thoughtful replies.

-Speaking of the Kardashians, OJ Simpson is reportedly ready to take a paternity test for Khloe.

-Why yes, GOOP. I *would* like to take a peek inside Gwyneth Paltrow’s NYC apartment! The photos are so nice that it almost makes up for the fact that they used the word ‘artisinal’ twice in the first sentence– or that elsewhere in this week’s edition she recommends $70 shampoo.

-Also, I’m a gonna need someone to explain Gwynie’s latest outfit to me.

-Congrats to Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, who are expecting baby No. 2.

-What we didn’t see in the Red Hot Chili Peppers edition of Carpool Karaoke: Anthony Kiedis helped save a baby.

Spice Girls might replace Sporty and Posh on tour? Someone hug Emma Stone.

-In China, Warcraft isn’t just doing better than it did in the U.S; it’s breaking records. Which means that movies can now be total flops domestically — and studios won’t care.

David Duchovny says he knows the X-Files revival’s problem was: there was not enough of it. Um yeah, that wasn’t it.

-Who’s winning the Scott Wars: Scott Foley or Scott Speedman? #TeamBen

Stephen Colbert made a life-size Liam Hemsworth “doll” for you to admire, but it’s not for sex!

-Someone actually found a use for Spencer Pratt: employing the expertise he gained from his gross, PR-hungry life to comment on staged photo ops. It’s actually pretty insightful.  “That’s Angelina-Brad Pitt 1998-type shit.”

-Meanwhile, The Sun reporter who wrote the Taylor/Tom story insists the pics aren’t staged.
-Guys, I just found out about the Taylor Swift conspiracy ring that’s convinced she’s secretly gay and now I want to read about nothing but this forever.

-Supergirl has just found their new Superman: Tyler Hoechlin. I have a friend who tried to convince me to watch Teen Wolf based solely on this guy. I…did not.

-I like Amy Schumer’s Vogue cover way better than her Vanity Fair cover. (Speaking of Amy, I’ve been catching up on her show and watched one yesterday that featured Jake Gyllenhaal, Josh Charles AND Sam Rockwell. If I had fame, that’s exactly what I would be using it for as well.)

-Meanwhile, Anna Wintour traded jobs with Amy Schumer in a new Vogue.com video.

Lin Manuel Miranda just launched a merchandise site to support the victims of Orlando. Also, he confirmed that he’s leaving Hamilton in July but tweeted: “We’re filming the original cast before I go. WE GOT YOU.”

-Early reviews suggest the new season of OITNB starts off rough, but pays off in its second half.

-Good Morning America had footage from the Ugly Betty cast reunion and it was awesome!

Orphan Black is ending. But we already knew that it was only supposed to run for five seasons … but I was worried the network would try to bleed it dry. I’m trying to watch this season and even though it’s better than last, I still have no freakin’ idea what’s going on.

-She may be the thirstiest celeb, but I kind of want to hang with Emilia Clarke. Probably because of that.

-This teaser for Pixar’s newest short is beyond adorable.

-God bless The Toast for giving us a ‘If Oscar Isaac Was Your Boyfriend’ article before shutting down. I don’t know why, but this is the part that got me right in the heart guts: “If Oscar Isaac were your boyfriend, sometimes he’d jokingly call you his ‘problematic fave.'”

Jamie Dornan and Cillian Murphy are in a new movie together and I don’t even care about the plot so I’m just gonna watch this trailer on mute, k?

Beyoncé’s Big Announcement Angers Interwebs

Beyoncé was on GMA to talk about “something amazing she wants you to know” leading to everyone speculating that she was going to announce a new baby/tour/album/all of the above. Nope, she just wanted to tell you that you’re all fat. Twitter was less than impressed.

-I saw Spy this weekend and liked it but didn’t love it, but I do love that it trounced Entourage at the box office.

-I installed Periscope this week specifically so I could watch the Gilmore Girls reunion panel, but no one Periscope’d it. (What’s up with that, ATXers?) Luckily, EW just posted the entire video.

-Speaking of which, I love that Lauren Graham seems to bring her Parenthood kids everywhere she goes — and pits them against her Gilmore Girls kid. (For the record,  Amber beats Rory but Lorelai beats Sarah.)

-Meanwhile, Mae Whitman played Dawson at the ATX Dawson’s Creek live-read, and it looked awesome.  Also, the creator of that show revealed that he thought Joey would end up with Dawson until he was halfway done writing the finale, and then he realized that Pacey‘s the goddamn best (I *might* be paraphrasing…)

Amy Schumer explained why she pranked Kim and Kanye on a red carpet: “All the reporters were going crazy and it was Kim and Kanye, just standing there, owning it, being short and important. And I think falling is the funniest thing, so I took a dive in front of them.”

Tim Gunn had really strong words about Kim Kardashian’s book of selfies. Strong, rational words.

-An allegedly drunk Kate Moss was escorted off plane after calling the pilot a “basic bitch.” The most surprising thing about this story is that she was flying EasyJet.

-In other surprising celebrity flight news, Brangelina and their brood flew coach. Nothing makes sense anymore.

-Weird. Brad Pitt‘s War Machine will skip theatres and head straight to Netflix. This could be huge.

-This is great: 51 TV writers talk about their favorite moment they’ve ever written. I’m amazed so many of them cite their pilots, which are almost always one of the worst episodes of a series.

Clint Eastwood‘s joke about Caitlyn Jenner will be cut from Spike TV’s Guys’ Choice Awards. Seriously, why do they keep letting this guy in front of a microphone?

-Speaking of the Guys’ Choice Awards, Jake Gyllenhaal received the “Guy Con” award from Rachel McAdams. I don’t know what that means, but they both looked adorbs.

-This weekend, Rachel was also spotted with her ex, Michael Sheen.

-Speaking of Rachel, here are two new True Detective season 2 promos. I can’t believe I’m getting sucked back into that show. I’m so weak.

-In other promo news, here’s our first look at Josh Charles in Masters of Sex.

-I love this article on how Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead went from a box office flop to a cult classic. (I say “The dishes are done, man” a LOT.)

Drake is “very interested” in Victoria’s Secret model Shanina Shaik. Get it, Wheelchair Jimmy!

Zoe Saldana’s husband has taken her last name because she’s awesome and why wouldn’t he?

Jerry Seinfeld won’t do college shows because he thinks students today are too PC. He’s probably not wrong.

-Here’s a great interview with Mindy Kaling and Amy Poehler. It sounds like Inside Out is going to be HUGE.

Matt Damon gets stranded on Mars and has to go all MacGyver in The Martian trailer. The cast is insane: Jessica Chastain, Kate Mara, Donald Glover, Kristen Wiig, Jeff Bridges, Chiwetel Ejiofor.

Miley Cyrus Makes Us Feel Lazy

Miley Cyrus had a busy day. She launched a foundation to fight youth homelessness and promote pro-LGBT causes, wore an outfit at the MET Gala that gave me a sudden fear of hipbones, and posed topless for V’s Diary of a Dirty Hippie.

-Also making me feel lazy is Anna Kendrick, who reflects on her hectic year.

-This is sweet: in memory of the late “Ryan Gosling Won’t Eat His Cereal” meme creator, who passed away at just 27, Ryan Gosling ate his cereal.

-Oh, so it DOES get worse than Jeremy Renner‘s “sorry, not sorry” apology. He’s standing by his “Black Widow is a slut” comments because he’s clearly a terrible human being.

-In other Avengers drama, Joss Whedon revealed on a podcast some tension between him and Marvel during the making of Ultron.  The studio basically told him to include that Thor/cave nonsense and if he didn’t, they’d cut all the character development scenes on the farm.

-The Walking Dead’s Seth Gilliam was arrested for DUI and marijuana possession. I feel like there’s a joke about The Wire to be made, but I’m not going to be the one to make it.

-I love Tom Hardy‘s statement about why he dropped out of the Suicide Squad movie, but I love Grantland’s annotated version of that statement even more. (And yes, we all must incorporate the phrase “f*cking alley” into our everyday lexicon.)

-Whatever you may think of Rose McGowan, her seven tips to fight sexism in Hollywood are pretty great.

-With the exception of SJP, Rihanna and Anne Hathaway, I was bored by most of  last night’s MET Gala — and angry about others. (The only thing I texted Nicole when Kristen Wiig showed up was “f**k Kristen Wigg!”)

Lorde and Jennifer Lawrence are friends? Does that mean Jennifer Lawrence and Taylor Swift are friends? My mind just broke.

-News the Josh Charles has joined the Masters of Sex cast basically left me breathing into a paper bag.

-Other great casting news: Martin Freeman just joined Captain America: Civil War.

Chris Brown continues to be a stellar human being.

-Congrats to Amy Adams, who wed her boyfriend of 14 years (which is like 97 in Hollywood years).

Jimmy Fallon and Jack Black did a shot-for-shot remake of Extreme’s “More Than Words” music video – -and it was glorious.
