Michelle Obama Raps with Missy Elliott in Carpool Karaoke

-Here is Michelle Obama‘s full Carpool Karaoke segment, and it’s glorious. She will always be the coolest First Lady in history.

-This Divergent news is HILARIOUS. The last movie flopped so badly that that Lionsgate has jettisoned the finale in favor of a TV movie. And there’s no guarantee that the original stars will sign on. (Why would they?) Let’s hope this is the final nail in the coffin of franchises who think they should stretch the final book across two movies.

–Leonardo DiCaprio is being dragged into the growing Wolf of Wall Street money-laundering scandal. It tickles me that he’s only referred to as  “Hollywood Actor 1” in the suit.

-I guess I shouldn’t make too much fun of Leo today since he raised $45 million for environmental causes last night. But I’m assuming that was mostly all Mariah’s doing.

–Idris Elba says he’s ‘too old’ to play Bond now. We’ve ruined this for him, haven’t we?

-Kate Hudson is hooking up with Diplo? Oh god. I’m already dreading the twitter tirade when she dumps him.

–Johnny Depp reportedly doesn’t want to give Amber Heard any deets on his financial records until she pinky swears to keep it secret.

–Gillian Anderson posting old glamour shots of David Duchovny will never not be funny.

–Mario Batali has opinions about pal Gwyneth Paltrow’s exes. He liked Brad Pitt, but wasn’t a fan of Ben Affleck.

–Taylor Swift has a long history of being a technophobe, even before Snapchatgate.

-Meanwhile, Vulture takes a deep dive into when exactly the media turned on Taylor.

-Ruh roh. Michael Moore is convinced Donald Trump is going to win.

-For some reason, I’ve had the pleasure of attending not one, but two events this month that featured Daniel Franzese (Damian from Mean Girls), and he’s an absolute teddy bear. Maybe that’s why this video of him proposing to his boyfriend in the Starbucks where they met reduced me to a sobbing puddle.

–Laverne Cox as Dr. Frank-N-Furter is perfection in Fox’s reimagining of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

-It’s a good week for Laverne Cox. Not only did the new season of Orange Is the New Black drop (a day early!), but she’s gracing the cover of the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly.

-Also, how awesome is it that the OITNB cast vacations together?

-Need a good read to end your week? May I interest you in the Top 35 Shadiest Pop Diva Moments, Ranked?

-Well, this sucks. All of David Letterman‘s Late Show clips on YouTube have been removed, leaving a sad trail of broken embeds.

-Ian who? Nina Dobrev was spotted kissing Austin Stowell at a comedy club.

–Julianna Margulies is talking about feminism in Hollywood, which I’m having a *really* hard time wrapping my brain around.

-Interesting: Elizabeth Banks may direct the adaptation of the book Red Queen, with a script by a Breaking Bad writer. (It says a lot about how much YA I read that it’s listed as “finished” in my Kobo but I have no recollection of this book at all…)

-Do-gooder Taylor Swift continues to do good. She donated $15,000 to the firefighter who saved his own family.

–Kim Kardashian is having a boy according to Us Weekly, who seem to have a reporter embedded in her uterus.

–Jimmy Kimmel aired a trailer spoof of The Martian starring his enemy Matt Damon called The Mastronaut: Emission to Mars. Good stuff.

–Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart got kissy at the Mr. Holmes premiere, launching a thousand fanfics.

-TV critics are split on True Detective season 2. The Hollywood Reporter says it’s “trying so hard it hurts,” while Vulture calls it “totally fascinating.”

-Speaking of shows that critics seem to love more than me, here’s the first promo for the new season of The Leftovers.

-Here’s Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s Hit Record dark comedy skit written by Mindy Kaling and starring Chris Messina.

-I don’t read romance (but NPR’s latest PCHH podcast may be changing my mind), but it sucks that a usually solid site like The Mary Sue would write such a sexist takedown of the whole genre. No wonder Twitter went crazy.

-So ABC accidentally aired some LeBron James peen last night.

–Is this more proof that CBS leaked its own Supergirl pilot, or just internet weirdness?

–Britney Spears wants to be Brangelina’s nanny — an idea which no doubt *thrills* them.

–Melissa McCarthy said she was so nervous when she first talked to Sandra Bullock, she couldn’t stop saying her full name. (Also, I finally watched the full Gilmore Girls ATX panel. Is it weird that no one — not even the guy who played her husband — mentioned Melissa at all?)

–Chris Pratt says he only had to use three facial impressions to act in Jurassic World. Let him show you.

-Following up with yesterday’s links about fandom toxicity, now John Greene is being targeted by ignorant Tumblr-ers.

-Watch Man From U.N.C.L.E. trailer and see just how much sexual-innuendo-laden dialogue you can handle.

–Olivia Wilde breastfed her son in Glamour’s September Issue and everyone is freaking out over it. I’m more surprised about the usually private star flashing her baby in a mag spread than I am about her flashing her boob.

-Meanwhile, Olivia and Jason Sudeikis had a cuddly time in Montreal last weekend. They also rode the Metro.

-Speaking of stars in Canada, Jeff Goldblum attended a wedding in Toronto and posed with the wedding party in a Jurassic Park-themed pic.

-Congrats to Gilmore Girls star Alexis Bledel and Mad Men star Vincent Kartheiser, who got secret married earlier this summer.

–Katie Holmes almost played Piper in Orange Is the New Black. Just try to think about that for a minute. I can’t even process it.

-Speaking of OITNB, Laverne Cox was on Conan O’Brien and she was predictably rad.

-This is like, the ninth story I’ve read about George Clooney putting glasses on his penis and taking photos of it. How many dick pics do you suppose are out there by this point? And how have they never made it to the Internet yet?

-Everyone’s talking about the part in this video where Chris Pratt raps, but I was much more entertained by the part where he dissed Orlando Bloom.

–Katherine Heigl‘s apology tour has hit a speedbump: she just managed to piss off working moms everywhere.

-How shitty would it be for Jennifer Garner to have to put out a statement that’s she’s not pregnant, just because she dared to wear an unflattering top?

-Well, this is surprising: Megan Fox says her best on-screen kiss was with Shia LaBeouf.

–Kristen Stewart’s hair has gone from awesome orange back to blah brown.

-Community’s season 5 blooper reel made me laugh more than the entirety of season 4.

–Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder have already entered the ‘buying each other extravagant gifts‘ phase of their relationship.

-Meanwhile, Ian’s ex Nina Dobrev laughed off all those romance rumours that followed her around Comic-Con and then played a game of giant beer pong with Jimmy Fallon.

-This is awesome: J.K. Rowling sent a teen shooting survivor a letter from Dumbledore.

-Friday Night Lights star Matt Lauria and singer Nick Jonas are nearly unrecognizable in this trailer for the new TV show Kingdom.

–Nicolas Cage takes the wheel in the first Left Behind trailer. But isn’t that a crazy Christian movie franchise? Is Nic Cage the new Kirk Cameron?

-I’m glad to see Steven Soderbergh‘s new TV show The Knick starring Clive Owen is getting rave reviews. It sounds squirmy but awesome.

-Random: Ricky Gervais is making a big-screen follow-up to the U.K. version of The Office.

-Glee is adding 5 brand new characters to its shortened last season, because of course that always fixes a show’s problems.

-Speaking of Glee, remember when there was all those whispers about Gwyneth Paltrow getting close to a Glee producer? Does the new rumours confirm it?

-Vanity Fair just released their 2014 best dressed list. How you doin’, Idris Elba?

–During his deposition about his attack on a photographer, Kanye West said “I’m the smartest celebrity you’ve ever f–ing dealt with….I’m not Britney Spears.” Me-ow!

–John Cusack gets his creep on in the new trailer for Reclaim.

-Meanwhile, the trailer for the Stephen Hawking biopic The Theory of Everything might have just made me hiccup-cry at my desk…
