Making a Murderer

Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum Celebrate Step Up’s Anniversary

Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum recreated their Step Up dance and I love them so much.

-The Making a Murderer case is back in the headlines, just in time for season 2. Brendan Dassey‘s conviction was just overturned by a federal judge and he could be out of prison in 90 days. This is HUGE.

Thomas Gibson has been officially fired from Criminal Minds after kicking a writer-producer. He released a statement, but didn’t address the incident.  Good luck finding work now, buddy.

-This open letter to Zack Snyder & the Warner Bros CEO from a former employee is a crazy good read. Quality dragging. (“It’s not just DC movies, it’s your whole slate. Jupiter Ascending. Get Hard. Hot Pursuit. Max. Vacation. Pan. Point Break. Fucking PAN, you jerk. People lost their jobs and you decided Pan was a good idea.”)

-Joel Kinnaman is glad Suicide Squad’s bad reviews lowered expectations. Well…yes. Of course he is.

-How come no one told me Kevin Hart has a rap alter ego named Chocolate Droppa?!?

-I’m not sure it helps Vin Diesel‘s case to have Tyrese in his corner.

Renée Zellweger asked people to stop talking about her face, so people just started talking about it more. It didn’t help that Hugh Grant didn’t recognize her on Watch What Happens Live.

-Holy crap. There’s a rumour that Joss Whedon will direct the Flash/Supergirl musical crossover and I’m crossing all my fingers and toes that it’s real. I still quote his Buffy musical on a weekly basis.
Katy Perry has reportedly recorded a song called “She’s So Creepy.” Your turn, Tay-Tay.

Miles Teller is sick of all the comments about his newly blond hair, saying “it nauseates me.” Being constantly critiqued for your physical appearance? Gee, that’s never happened to anyone else in Hollywood. Stay strong, you brave soldier.

Adrian Grenier having a big dick explains a lot, actually.

-Everything I’m hearing about Get Down is that it suffers from the Netflix bloat and should have been edited more. But on the plus side, Jaden Smith wore this killer jacket at its premiere.

-Find a guy who talks about you like Chris Pine talks about Ben Foster.

Mel Gibson has been granted permission to continue to withhold settlement payments to ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva over a breach of confidentiality after her 2010 Howard Stern interview. Charming. And just in time for his comeback launch.

-A new Rogue One trailer debuted last night during NBC’s Olympics coverage and revealed a whole lot more details.

 

Jennifer Lawrence Talks Emma Stone, Planned Parenthood in Glamour

jennifer-lawrence-glamour-cover

-All of the big quotes from Jennifer Lawrence’s Glamour cover story have been tweeted already (her support of Planned Parenthood, her perfect response to the nude photo theft, her plans to go full Grey Gardens with Amy Schumer, etc.) but it’s worth reading the whole thing anyway.

-Who had “got cornrows” on their Justin Bieber Vacation Bingo Card?

-Of course Michael Bay is telling people he’s worth “half a B.” OF COURSE he is.

Ryan Coolger is rumoured to direct Marvel’s Black Panther, which is awesome if true, but I’m waiting for confirmation. Variety and Verge jumped the gun by announcing it last week, and both had to walk it back.

-I thought I’d *finally* be able to stop obsessing about Making a Murderer and move on, but then the filmmakers went on the Today Show this morning and revealed that one of the jurors just told them they only voted guilty because they “feared for their personal safety.” Meanwhile, the trial’s prosecutor emailed The Wrap with 9 reasons Avery is guilty. (Personally, I think it’s very likely that he or someone in his family is guilty, but that trial was a travesty.)

-In other news, Seth Meyers expertly spoofed the doc last night.

Leonardo DiCaprio has never dated anyone over 25? That is…not surprising.

Julia Styles is engaged and I love her ring (and I NEVER love the rings).

-The only thing good about Mel Gibson presenting an award at the Golden Globes this Sunday is that Ricky Gervais is hosting.

Mandy Moore instagramed pretty much every moment of her holidays in Maine with Dawes singer Taylor  Goldsmith, and it would be annoying if it wasn’t all so damn adorable.

Blake Lively and Amber Tamblyn: still in the sisterhood.

Demi Lovato and Fall Out Boy just recreated N’Sync’s “It’s Gonna Be Me” video. Approved.

Saoirse Ronan charmed everyone last night at the New York Film Critics Circle awards, while Kristen Stewart accepted her award by saying “I’ve received a lot of MTV popcorns. This is a little different.”

-The stars of Bridget Jones’s Baby shot three different endings, so even Renee Zellweger doesn’t know who her character ends up  — or who is the father of Bridget’s baby. (If it’s not Mark Darcy, Imma gonna flip some tables…)

Sarah Silverman revealed that Michael Sheen gives really terrible Christmas gifts.

-It was super clever for Deadpool to air this new promo during The Bachelor.

-Oh god. Glee star Mark Salling was arrested this morning for possession of child porn.

Russell Crowe fought with Virgin Australia after his hoverboards were refused as luggage. Celebs, they’re just like us!

Kristen Bell is going to do some work on an upcoming episode of iZombie, which is all kinds of awesome.

Jennifer Garner is not taking Ben Affleck back. It’s a Christmas miracle!

-Is Guy Ritchie turning Madonna‘s son against her? The fact that the 15-year-old had to be ordered to spend xmas with his mom isn’t a good sign. Remember when he was a cute lil b-boy at his mom’s concerts?

-This warms the heart: Joss Whedon is donating up to $100,000 to Planned Parenthood, and Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher are donating $1 million to Syrian victims.

Leslie Jones says she confronted Kenan Thompson over his comments about diversity on SNL, and now he’s “possibly my best friend on the show.”

-Fox has released a 21-minute preview of The X Files reboot. I’m not going to watch, but I’m just happy it exists!

-I’ve been away for a while. Do we have any traction on the rumours of Courteney Cox and Matthew Perry dating? Anything?!

-The eyes have it in Orphan Black’s new teaser trailer for season 4.

Ruby Rose has big news, but it’s not about her uterus.

Britney Spears’s Instagram has become a fascinating journey through her mind.

-Has there ever been a more delightful press tour than the Star Wars one? Look at this. And this. And this. I mean, really.

-Meanwhile, The Force Awakens has now raked in $1.16B worldwide.

-Also, Carrie Fisher is pretty done with y’all talking about whether or not she’s aged well.

-I fell down a rabbit hole over the holidays and watched all of Netflix’s Making a Murderer, which is insanely engrossing. I’m not alone; Alec Baldwin live-tweeted his viewing. HBO & PBS both passed on the series a few years ago, long before we all caught Serial fever. Now hacktivists Anonymous have taken up the cause (and introduced a new tow truck theory).

Hugh Jackman: kicking my “awwws” into overdrive once again.

-This is a good/sad piece on why so many excellent pop culture sites died in 2015.

-Anyone else think it’s hilarious that The Hateful Eight pirated screener traced back to a top Hollywood exec?

-I stopped watching Homeland after they had one perfect season and then torpedoed all my good feelings about it with subsequent episodes, but Mandy Patinkin’s passionate rant on Colbert about what that show has taught him about North Americans’ reactions to Muslims is pretty incredible.

Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani were inseparable over the holidays.

-This fascinates (but doesn’t surprise) me: Agent Carter and Supergirl’s viewers are evenly split between men and women.

-The holidays brought us not one, but two new Deadpool trailers (including this very NSFW red band one):
