RIP, Prince

-2016 has been brutal when it comes to celebrity deaths, but Prince? Man, this one hurts. That man was the goat.

-Vulture has compiled 24 outrageous Prince stories. My absolute favourite remains this (very long, but very funny) one by Kevin Smith, who was once hired to shoot a documentary for him.

-Meanwhile, The Onion’s headline is perfect.

-Also, how did I not know until now that Maya Rudolph has a Prince cover band called Princess?

-Um, that’s not how hashtags work, Sharon Stone.

-Esquire always does right by George Clooney. They tend to get him to open up in a way other publications don’t. (Remember when he shit-talked Leonardo DiCaprio’s basketball skills?) His latest cover story doesn’t disappoint.

–Julianna Margulies says we’ll either ‘love or hate’ the Good Wife’s series finale. Ruh roh.

-Teach me your shade ways, Kelly Ripa!

-Arrested Development’s Maria Bamford is starring in a new Netflix show , and it looks fantastic. (The trailer hooked me as soon as she and Ana Gasteyer started doing my go-to drunk move: laser tits.)

-I’m not sue who this comedian is who recreated a bunch of celebrity Instagram poses, but I think I love her.

-The Bones lawsuit is offering a good glimpse of how a hit show loses money. Despite pulling in over a half a billion dollars in their first seven seasons, however, Bones somehow ended up over $43 million in the red.

-I love The Hollywood Reporter’s tips for getting a divorce in Hollywood: “plan for your future ex’s reality show.”

-Time’s 100 Most Influential People articles are great, mostly because they’re written by other stars. Rita Moreno writes that Gina Rodriguez is “a young woman who knows her true north,” while J.J. Abrams says Lin-Manuel Miranda‘s “wit would be intimidating if not for his natural and infectious charm.”

–Michael Keaton plays the founder of McDonalds in the new trailer for The Founder.

–Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart see the sights in the new trailer for Woody Allen‘s Café Society trailer.

-I’m intrigued by the new Jason Bourne trailer (mostly because I don’t think I could have sat through another movie of him need to re-learn about Treadstone all over again). Also, Julia Stiles is back and seems to have a bigger role! That makes me weirdly happy.

Farewell, Parks and Recreation, You Beautiful Tropical Fish

-Parks and Recreation ends tonight and I’m so not ready. No other sitcom in recent memory made me laugh out loud so often, whether it was Chris telling himself to “stop pooping,” Leslie demonstrating the best, most efficient take-down of MRAs ever, the entire gang falling on ice to the tune of “Get On Your Feet,” Ann drunkenly trying to find her straw, or Leslie singing “Everybody pants now. Pants, pants, pants, pants, pants, pants!” Good job, show. I love you and I like you.

-Meanwhile, Amy Poehler spoke to Alan Sepinwall about how the show “kind of ruined me for anything else.”

-The entire Parks and Rec cast will appear on Late Night with Seth Meyers tonight, so at least there’s that. Also, Canadians will be getting the series finale 2 hours earlier than those in the States, which should make us super popular on Twitter.

-Speaking of Late Night with Seth Meyers, Stephen Amell was on last night and did a great job reminding everyone about his Canadian-ness.

-This video of Michael Keaton quickly hiding his Oscars speech after Eddie Redmayne’s win will break your heart.

–Emma Watson sent a sweet note to Steve Carell to compliment him on his Oscar fashion.

–Joshua Jackson and Diane Kruger proved they’re still the cutest at the Vanity Fair after-part. God,  I love them. If they ever break up, please don’t tell me.

-There was an impromptu Gossip Girl reunion at Elton John’s Oscar party.

-Feel free to repress these new rumours about Lupita Nyong’o and Jared Leto dating.

-Sure, these “random” singers were clearly chosen ahead of time, but Christina Aguilera still killed it when she had to impersonate Britney Spears and Cher on The Tonight Show. Not surprising; remember the amazing impression of Kim Catrall she did on SNL?

–John Travolta‘s explanation of the Idina Menzel flub makes even less sense than the flub.

–Jude Law says he once turned down the role of Superman because he didn’t want to ruin his children’s lives.

–Chris Brown has been denied entry into Canada because we’re good like that. (He deleted all of his tweets about it.)

-Here’s the first trailer for Sean Penn‘s The Gunman.

Jennifer Lopez Looks Red Hot On The Cover Of Billboard Magazine

–Jennifer Lopez looks like she’s in an American Apparel ad on the cover of Billboard magazine. Still better than her World Cup outfit.

-I have very little interest in the Dumb and Dumber trailer, but from the looks of this, the press tour is going to be insane.

–Marc Anthony has been ordered to pay over $26k to his ex-wife Dayanara Torres in child support. He and Halle Berry should drown their sorrows together.

-This is hilarious: Aaron Paul‘s voice is accidentally turning on XBox One consoles around the world.

–Robert Pattinson says he’s homeless after his parents “borrowed” his house. He also says he has extraordinarily heavy saliva: “If I try and spit, I can only get it about a foot.” Still swooning, tweens?

-Sweet! Mindy Kaling has a new book coming our way called Why Not Me?.

–Uzo Aduba, a.k.a. Crazy Eyes, tries every Orange Is the New Black role. Also, I had no idea this is what she looks like IRL.

-Meanwhile, Mary Steenburgen just joined the OITNB cast for next season.

-This is awesome: George Clooney was at a family reunion and headed over to his old high school to play a game of pick up with some kids who were hanging out there.

–Madonna‘s teenage daughter Lourdes wrote about graduating from high school and regretting the fashion choices she made at 14.

-This mashup proves that Game of Thrones and The O.C. are essentially the same show. I never doubted it.

–Kit Harrington thinks it’s funny to lie to fans about who’s going to die on GoT. You know nothing, Jon Snow.

-Here’s the first trailer for Birdman, starring Emma Stone, Edward Norton, Zach Galifianakis, Naomi Watts and Michael Keaton. Looks weird but awesome.

-Hulu’s got a new pilot starring Emma Roberts that’s based on the popular YA book Delirium.

-In other promising TV news, Cameron Crowe is developing a comedy for Showtime.

-Despite being rich and famous and beautiful, Lana Del Rey just told an interviewer that she wishes she “were dead already.”  Cheery!

–René Angélil has stepped down from being Celine Dion’s manager. He’s still onboard to be her husband though.

-Good news: Tracy Morgan is showing signs of improvement following that massive crash.

–Chris Rock crashed Seth Meyers’ monologue last night, giving the host “a crap attack.”

–Sarah Paulson‘s next American Horror Story character looks like it’ll be her creepiest yet.

-It’s official: Walking Dead will never, ever end.

-The creator of True Detective has dismissed rumours that season two’s cast will be female-led.

-Here’s another clip of Keira Knightley singing in Begin Again. I had that “Hold On” song stuck in my head for a month after seeing it.

-Speaking of songs I can’t get out of my head, here’s a new one from The New Ponographers. I missed those guys!

–Idris Elba plays a very bad man in the new No Good Deed trailer. It’s probably wrong that I still find him really hot in this, right?
