-THR’s TV Actress Roundtable this year includes Oprah, Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Jessica Lange, Elisabeth Moss and Chrissy Metz. Once again, Reese brings up the blind item about the crappy movie that leading ladies were fighting over.

-Gilmore Girls’ Liza Weil is dating her HTGAWM costar Charlie Weber? Wayment – since when is she no longer married to the guy from Private Practice and Prison Break?! I loved them!

-Even though he split from Olivia Munn, Aaron Rodgers reportedly still isn’t talking to his family. Wow, it’s almost like she wasn’t to blame for the estrangement in the first place. Imagine that.

-Just in case you needed more proof that Gal Gadot is awesome, she was pregnant while filming Wonder Woman.

-Also, it’s crazy that Patty Jenkins has NO deal for a Wonder Woman sequel yet.

-Nothing has tickled me more than my entire Twitter feed trying to re-evaluate their famous Chris rankings this week…

–Alexis Bledel and director Reed Morano break down how they created the most haunting scene from The Handmaid’s Tale.

-The latest Actors on Actors features Michelle Pfeiffer and Sarah Jessica Parker interviewing each other. If you don’t want to watch the whole episode, here are clips of SJP talking about SATC, and her trying to convince Pfeiffer that Into the Night is a good movie.

-Meanwhile, it’s SATC’s 20th anniversary, which reminds me of my favourite article on its legacy and why it deserves more praise.

-Also, on James Corden last night Nicole tried to pressure Kit Harington to propose to his girlfriend and Game of Thrones costar Rose Leslie.

Emma Stone Talks Pay Gap and Prince in Vogue

emma-stone-vogue

-I adore Emma Stone’s Vogue cover. Even though it’s just a wig, she still makes me want to chop off all my hair.

-The accompanying interview is predictably adorable, which her sharing a story about how she played backup tambourine for Prince at an SNL afterparty, even though her foot was bleeding. I’m really looking forward to the La La Land promo tour.

–Billy Bush has lawyered up with one of LA’s fiercest litigators. How can he possibly think he can come back from this?!

-Meanwhile, the Days of Our Lives actress featured in the video has spoken out about being caught in this shitstorm.

–Nancy O’Dell’s terrible week continues. She just separated from her husband.

–Kate Hudson‘s girls night out is so much better than yours.

–Matt Damon prepares for battle in the new trailer for The Great Wall. This looks…not good.

Anna Kendrick, Brittany Snow and Rebel Wilson Are Pitch Perfect for EW

Anna Kendrick Pitch Perfect 2

-I usually blindly love any magazine cover that features Anna Kendrick, but the shot that EW chose for their Pitch Perfect 2 cover is all kinds of awks, no? It looks like her leg is trying to swallow Rebel Wilson. The shot of them in the club is so much better.

-I’m super underwhelmed by People’s Sexiest Man Alive choice this year (but maybe that’s just because of the ’90s hair he’s sporting on the cover).  But last year was Adam Levine, so I guess there’s a *bit* of course correction happening.

-Meanwhile, Jason Bateman says he’s ticked at not being chosen.

-Also, we’ve suspected it but now sources seem to confirm that Ryan Gosling hasn’t been named People’s Sexiest Man Alive yet because he rejected them multiple times. Is that why Chris Pratt didn’t make it this year?

–Janice Dickinson says Bill Cosby raped her. There was an immediate “but she’s a crazy model jumping on a bandwagon” backlash on Twitter, until someone pointed out that she told Howard Stern a similar story back in 2006. If she’s lying, she’s playing a hell of a long game.

-Here’s the threatening letter Bill Cosby’s new attorney sent to Buzzfeed’s Kate Aurthur, who’s been doing some really good work on this story.

–THR’s actress roundtable this year features Amy Adams, Reese Witherspoon, Patricia Arquette, Laura Dern, Felicity Jones and Hilary Swank. I love Reese’s dress in the photo. I don’t think I’d wear it, but it’s so very *her*.

–Jennifer Lawrence appeared on Elizabeth Banks’ YouTube show, “Ask a Badass,” and is very excited to be the first “lady badass.”

–Anna Wintour knows the Vogue Kim Kardashian/Kanye West cover wasn’t tasteful…and that was her point.

-Meanwhile, here’s a very sanitized view of what it’s like to be Anna’s assistant.

-This is making yesterday’s news of an American Luther adaptation go down easier: BBC America says Idris Elba will film two new hourlong episodes of original Luther next March to air later in 2015.

-For reasons I won’t even try to comprehend, Aubrey Plaza’s basketball team made a fake Burger King commercial.

-It’s cute how Ansel Elgort is trying to make it seem like it ain’t no thing that he’s suddenly swimming in groupies.

-Why is Shailene Woodley gracing one of GQ’s Men Of The Year covers?

-This new Dave Chappelle interview is great (minus the pimp intro). He talks about meeting Rob Ford, and makes some pretty smart comments about Tyler Perry.

-I feel like The 100 is going to be added to my holiday binge-watch list. Every TV critic I follow on Twitter (and I follow a lot of them) won’t stop raving about this season. Can anyone out there second this?
