-Game of Thrones stars Kit Harington and Rose Leslie confirmed their romance on the red carpet. Surprisingly, this story was not brought to you by 2014.

-Meanwhile, Jonathan Ross put Kit Harington through a lie detector test about GoT — and it hurt.

-HBO and Bill Simmons are launching a Game of Thrones aftershow with my two favourite pop culture podcasters: Andy Greenwald and Chris Ryan. I’d hope HBO lets them loose and it has analysis and criticism like on their podcast instead of it just being a gushfest like The Talking Dead.

-TV critics’ anger at The Walking Dead finale is so much more entertaining than the episode itself.

–Gwyneth Paltrow says she’s allowed herself to be stung by bees in the name of beauty. That’s the GOOPiest thing that she’s ever GOOP’d.

-And the celebrity lifestyle blogs just keep on comin’! Katherine Heigl‘s latest has the distinction of being the worst named: Those Heavenly Days. I seriously assumed this was an April Fool’s thing when I read about it Friday.

–Drew Barrymore gives her first interview post-split from Will Kopelman, talks a lot about wine. Seems fair.

-In today’s edition of real estate porn, let’s all gaze lustfully at Britney Spears‘s former mansion in Thousand Oaks, which could be yours for a mere $9 million.

–Amy Adams just landed a new HBO series based on a Gillian Flynn book, so they should probably start engraving her Emmys now…

–Melissa McCarthy reiterated that she was ‘surprised’ they didn’t ask her back for Gilmore Girls. Keep stirring that pot, gurl!

-I want to watch Amy Schumer’s new skit with Lin-Manuel Miranda, but stupid geo-blocking isn’t letting me. This Vine just isn’t enough to sustain me!

-I haven’t watched American Idol in eons, but they got pretty much everyone to participate in this oral history: Simon, Paula, Randy, Ryan, JLo, Harry, Keith, the winners, etc.

-This is such a good article on fan engagement gone wrong with TV creators. My sister-in-law and I were just talking about this: how showrunners need to maintain a fine balance between listening to fans and letting them dictate plot, while also maintaining a balance on social media between teasing fans and outright lying to them. The comments on the article are beyond grating, though. Conversations about bad fan behaviour almost always immediately dissolve into “female fans are all shippers and they ruin everything.”
-How does Rihanna walk across subway grates like this in heels? HOW? TEACH ME YOUR WAYS, WOMAN!

–Chris Hemsworth‘s dramatic reading of Rihanna’s “Work” is not as committed as I’d like it to be, but he’s still pretty so I’ll allow it.

-Batman V Superman suffered a 69% drop in week 2, slightly higher than the weekend estimate.

-Speaking of superhero movies that are no doubt going to burn us, Benedict Cumberbatch and Chiwetel Ejiofor look very bromantic in these new stills.

-This one-sheeter given to reporters before they interview will.i.am on how to maximize their time with him is ridiculous — but also filled with some pretty great interview tips.

-The trailer for the movie in which Daniel Radcliffe plays a farting corpse movie is here. Yay?

Anne Hathaway Is Pregnant

–Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman revealed they are expecting their first child, which led to a flood of mean tweets from garbage people. Sigh.

-Has it really been 800 days since Tom Cruise has seen Suri? If so, that’s so deeply sad for everyone involved.

-So much superhero TV news hit today. Constantine might join Legends of Tomorrow, CBS may want The Flash to visit Supergirl in May sweeps, and the worst female character on TV might be getting killed off.

-Celebrities ate a lot of turkey yesterday — and Instagrammed every damn second of it.

-Speaking of Thanksgiving-themed grams, Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin spent the holiday together with their extended fam.

-Even Leonardo DiCaprio didn’t hide from cameras during Thanksgiving.

–Kate Hudson continues to win the holidays, though.

-NCIS’s Michael Weatherly (who will always be Logan from Dark Angel to me) was busted for DUI.

–Kit Harington is talking about his chances of becoming the next James Bond. Wait, is that a possibility?! If he gets it before Idris I’m going to flip some tables!

-The Gods of Egypt’s director and studio has apologized for the cast’s sheer whiteness. Too little, too late.

–Erykah Badu‘s new mixtape, featuring Drake and Andre 3000, is streaming.

–Rashida Jones explained to Jimmy Fallon last night how Drake’s “Hotline Bling” is basically the Carlton before singing a holiday melody.

–Rihanna is going on tour — and she’s taking her new boyfriend as her opening act.

-Every promo we get for the new season of Agent Carter is better than the last. My body is ready!

 

Nicole Kidman Impersonates Tweety Bird

–Nicole Kidman covers the new issue of Vogue, but it’s her 73 Questions video shot at her farm that’s the most interesting part. Her American accent is TERRIBLE, but she pulls off a good Tweety Bird.

-As much as I still hate Amy Schumer‘s GQ cover photo, the interview itself is great. She talks about her plans to campaign for Hilary Clinton, why many female comics seem to end up alone, how Chris Rock helped her, and why she’s anticipating the inevitable backlash. “I truly feel I’m getting a lot of attention right now and it’s just a ticking time bomb. Like, I wonder what the thing is going to be that will make people want to burn me at the stake. There’s no way to control it. I think it will be really arbitrary and a misunderstanding.”

-As if I wasn’t already going to be glued to my TV, The X-Files reboot just cast Robbie Amell and Lauren Ambrose as new agents.

-Speaking of The X-Files reboot, Silicon Valley star Kumail Nanjiani (who stans the show so hard that he hosts a podcast called The X-Files Files), shot a guest appearance last weekend — and his tweets from the set were adorably fanboyish.

-The lines are already being drawn in the sand in the Miranda Lambert/Blake Shelton split. His PR team has come out swinging, making sure there are lots of stories out there about how the divorce is not his fault. Meanwhile, she’s dealing with TMZ’s report that she’s a cheater, fan videos of her breaking down on stage, and male country singers releasing statements denying they slept with her.

-In other ‘love is a lie’ news, Cara Delevingne and St. Vincent have reportedly broken up.

-Here’s photographic proof that Kit Harington and his manbun has joined the Game of Thrones cast in Belfast.

-His costar Gwendoline Christie‘s campaign for Vivienne Westwood is filled with just so much no.

–Elizabeth Olsen and Tom Hiddleston were spotted looking cozy together. I’m gonna need some relationship status confirmation  because I’m kinda super into it.

–Ben Affleck: the only person in the world who can still look like a grump while holding an adorable puppy.

–Lucy Lawless just squashed those Xena: Warrior Princess reboot rumours — but seems to be keeping that door open.

–Charlize Theron invited Barack Obama to a strip club and then worried what Michelle would think.

–Cate Blanchett is developing and directing an Australian TV series and I want it in my eyeballs right now!

–Emma Thompson on sexism in Hollywood: “I think it’s still completely s*** actually.”

-The VMA nominations came out today and Nicki Minaj was totally snubbed for “Feeling Myself” — according to Nicki Minaj.

-I don’t have time to watch all of this Orphan Black Comic-Con panel because of work, life, stuff, but I think Parks and Recreations’ Retta should moderate every single future TV panel based on her intros alone. Donnie IS “Captain Twerk of the Star Hips Enterprise.”

-Vanity Fair interviewed Starlee Kine about her great new podcast, Mystery Show, and she got into the Jake Gyllenhaal phone call.

–Taylor Swift just launched her own line of $60 t-shirts that will only be available in China.

-The Daily Show’s new host Trevor Noah tries to prove that he’s better than his Twitter history would have us believe in his new GQ profile.

-Buzzfeed just ran a great interview with the creator and actress of UnREAL, which gets better with every episode. Vulture even started recapping it this week!

-The Fargo season 2 trailer has arrived, and it looks amazing (or, as Pajiba aptly called it, “an ultra-strength boner pill for Emmy voters.”). It took me a while to recogonize Jesse Plemons, though. He looks, um, different.
