Kaley Cuoco Is Asked a Ridiculous Question, Gives a Ridiculous Answer

Kaley Cuoco feminism

–Kaley Cuoco says she’s not a feminist, she loves acting like a housewife and that her breast implants are “the best thing ever.”  Take notes, little girls. This is super inspiring stuff.

-Well, that didn’t last long. Jeremy Renner and his wife have split after just 10 months of marriage. Between him, Chris Rock and his wife, and Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter, it’s been a rough holiday for famous couples.

-In happier couples news, Sofía Vergara and Joe Manganiello are flaunting their new engagement. Like, a lot.

-Also, did Sean Penn propose to Charlize Theron in Paris?

–Ryan Gosling‘s directorial debut is reportedly so bad, it won’t even get a wide theatrical release. (Is anyone else slightly comforted by the knowledge that he isn’t absolutely perfect at everything?)

-I was debating whether or not to go to the gym tonight. Then I saw Jada Pinkett Smith’s new Shape cover and have decided I’m going to live there now.

–Jennifer Aniston, Justin Theroux, John Krasinski, Emily Blunt, Jimmy Kimmel and Howard Stern are all vacationing together in Mexico right now. Your invite probably just got lost in the mail or something.

-Just when we thought the Serial drama had wrapped up, Jay (who refused to be interviewed on the podcast), just gave his first sit-down. You would think he’d have had time by now to get his story straight, but this interview makes even more of a mess of the timeline. [Update: part two of his interview was just posted.]

–Matthew McConaughey made some more totally random commercials for Lincoln in which he spouts total nonsense.

-As they final episodes are about to air, the cast of Parks and Rec try to recap the entire series in just 30 seconds in this new video. Spoiler alert: they fail miserably.

-Meanwhile, Paul Rudd has confirmed he’s coming back for the last season.

-Despite his Instagram post, Justin Bieber didn’t actually buy a private jet. He just chartered one. Feel better?

-The creator of Black-ish has called out Judd Apatow for  his”obsessive” Bill Cosby rants.

-Arnold approved? Miley Cyrus joined Patrick Schwarzenegger and his dad on a family ski trip.

–Mindy Kaling wrote a short for Joseph Gordon-Levitt‘s new TV show and it features JGL and Chris Messina dancing, because she knows what we want.

–Avril Lavigne called those rehab rumours “ridiculous” but wouldn’t expand on those “health problem” comments.

-In her new interview with Elle Canada, Katie Holmes says of Dawson’s Creek: “I don’t know if I have moved past it, but I don’t really care.” You and me both, sister.

–Benedict Cumberbatch wants to clear up those rumours that he had a dance off with Michael Fassbender at the Golden Globes. “There’s no ‘off’ about it. We were dancing ‘on.'”

–Jake Gyllenhaal and Ruth Wilson are still going strong, which is something of a Christmas miracle.

–Kat Dennings goes to a dark place in the intense new trailer for To Write Love On Her Arms.

 

Kerry Washington Lands Her First Major Magazine Cover

kerry-washington-elle-cover

–Kerry Washington looks a-mah-zing on Elle. I can’t believe it took this long for a major fashion mag to give her a cover but it’s so good, it’s even making me forget all about those gloves she wore last night.

-During Kanye West‘s MET Gala performance, he defended Kim Kardashian against haters. It’s almost like he knew what we’d all be saying about her dress today.

-Speaking of MET attendees, Michelle Williams left the event hand-in-hand with NYC-based artist Dustin Yellin.

-Also, this gif of Jennifer Lawrence photo-bombing Sarah Jessica Parker will make you love her forever (even more). It’s almost as great as Joshua Jackson‘s photo-bomb of Anne Hathaway.

–Rihanna said Nicole Richie‘s MET dress “makes me throw up” (in a good way, we think).

–Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn‘s night out at the MET Gala reportedly ended with him drunkenly falling on the stairs and her helping him up while “clenching her teeth.” Ah, the honeymoon period!

-According to a Reader’s Digest poll, Kristen Stewart is the “least trusted movie star in America,” because the Reese Witherspoon drama has taught the world nothing.

–The Office finale has been expanded to one hour and fifteen minutes. This thing is going to end up spanning three weeks before NBC is done with it.

–Liam Gallagher says he almost died after an M&M sent him into anaphylactic shock.

-In other odd news from British singers, Pete Doherty has a new houseguest: Macaulay Culkin.

-iTunes is currently streaming the new Vampire Weekend album. Get on it!

-Someday I’d like to type the words “Lauryn Hill” without the words “troubled singer” before it, but today won’t be that day. Trouble singer Lauryn Hill has been sentenced to three months in jail for failing to pay nearly $1M in taxes because she was “opposed to the system.”

-In other ‘singers in jail’ news, Ja Rule just got out after spending two years in the clink.

-Newlywed Keira Knightley might replace Anne Hathaway as the lead in the dark comedy Laggies.

-I don’t watch Criminal Minds, but I dig the fact that the show’s actresses are refusing to sign new contracts until they get salary parity with their male costars.

-The documentary about Rihanna‘s 777 tour aired on Fox last night, but there was surprisingly little footage of the press mutiny. Actually, that’s probably not surprising at all.

-The director and writer of Iron Man 3 revealed that an early cut of the movie was over 3 hours long and featured a Gwyneth Paltrow/Guy Pearce sex tape.

-Meanwhile, Iron Man 3 director Shane Black just signed on to direct another comic book flick based on Doc Savage.

–Florence Welsh covered “I Love It” by Icona Pop and it’s kinda great.

-The revolving door of leading men attached to Natalie Portman‘s upcoming western continues to turn. The latest actor to sign up: Ewan McGregor.

–Kat Dennings said she had a “hangout” sushi dinner with Drake, but insists it wasn’t a date. Too bad, ’cause I could totally get behind those two as a couple.

-If you’re a comic book geek, the outfit Emma Stone is wearing in the new photos from the Spider Man set might give away a huge spoiler. For the rest of us, it’s just a cute coat.

–Aaron Paul bought the Breaking Bad crew customized whisky bottles as a wrap gift because he’s awesome wrapped in amazing.

-This is both unexpected and awesome: British comedy The IT Crowd is coming back for one more episode with the original cast.

–Dr. Phil is suing Deadspin for posting clips from his interview with Manti Te’o before it had aired in some markets.

–Bradley Cooper‘s new Häagen-Dazs commercial makes it seem like he shows up to fancy parties with a pint of ice cream, which totally makes me want to be his friend.

–Grey’s Anatomy’s McSteamy just landed a new show. Too bad it’s on TNT.

-In other (better) casting news, Andrew Garfield has been tapped to star in Martin Scorsese‘s Silence.

–Amanda Seyfried‘s new Givenchy commercial is beyond silly, which I guess makes it just like every other perfume ad.

-This might be the birthday hangover talking, but I’m actually intrigued by this trailer for Ender’s Game. Or maybe I’m just into Ben Kingsley with a face tattoo…

Grammys Best and Worst Dressed

Adele and Rihanna at the Grammys

It was a big weekend for red carpets! I covered the BAFTAs in an earlier post, so let’s turn our focus to the Grammys, shall we? Traditionally, I don’t pay much attention to this one, since it’s usually just a parade of hoochie, sequined-encrusted mall dresses. But the Grammys’ new crackdown on, um, cracks made this an interesting one to watch. Not everyone followed the new rules, but it definitely was a more conservative show than years past. That doesn’t mean there weren’t a lot of fashion winners — and losers.

Best Dressed:

rihanna-grammysThis was the most un-Rihanna look I’ve ever seen Rihanna wear and, not uncoincidentally, one of my favourites. Though she probably should have flash-camera tested her red custom Azzedine Alaia gown (it was uncomfortably see-through in some shots), it was still stunning.
<——

 

kelly-rowland-GrammysKelly Rowland flaunted her curves (and the Grammy rules) in this teasingly cut Georges Chakra gown.
——>

 

taylor-swift-grammys

 

For once, Taylor Swift didn’t dress up like a sparkly princess. Instead, she opted for a mature J Mendel gown in white, which is perfectly on trend.
<——

kat-dennings-Grammys

 


Kat Dennings was a total charmbomb in her Grammy red carpet interview with Ryan Seacrest, giving shout-outs to strippers and Kobe Bryant. I was also charmed by her short, architectural Vivienne Westwood dress.  ——>

 

natasha-bedingfield-GrammysRed is a tough colour to pull off on the red carpet, but Natasha Bedingfield had no issues in this fiery Emerson number.
<——

 

Honourable mentions go to Faith Hill in a lacy J Mendel and Florence Welsh, who left the curtains at home this time to wear a green custom Givenchy instead.

 

 

Worst Dressed:
carly-rae-jepsen-grammysOk, Carly Rae Jepsen. You’ve been famous long enough now to have landed a decent stylist. A Roberto Cavalli dress (which looks like it’s made from a garbage bag) and frumpy hair just isn’t going to cut it any more.
<——

 

adele-grammysI love and adore Adele and she looks great post-baby, but this dress isn’t doing her any favours. It’s just too busy.  ——>

 

jennifer-lopez-grammysJennifer Lopez‘s Anthony Zacarello gown might have come across as daring — if Angelina Jolie hadn’t owned the leg thing at last year’s Oscars. Now JLo just comes across as looking desperate (though not as desperate as ET Canada, who actually interviewed Casper Smart. On camera!).
<——

 

nicole-kidman-grammysI don’t necessarily hate Nicole Kidman‘s Vera Wang gown, but I feel like she needs to step away from the lace-dress-with-visible-granny-panties trend. It’s been twice in row now!   ——>

 

katy-perry-grammysHere’s Katy Perry in Gucci. Or should I say Katy Perry’s boobs in Gucci, since that was all anyone could focus on. Just ask Ellen.
<——

 

 

Dishonourable mentions go to Carrie Underwood (who’s Roberto Cavalli oddly made her look thicker than she is) and Beyonce (who managed to do something I didn’t think was possible — bore us).
