Mahershala Ali GQ

-I’m not saying I ate a burger for lunch solely because I spent so much time this morning staring at this photo of Mahershala Ali from his new GQ spread, but I’m not NOT saying that either…

–Beyonce has reportedly delivered her twins and her dad was the one to break the news, which deprived us all of an epically posed Instagram announcement from B herself.

–Beyonce‘s mom, meanwhile, continues to troll us.

-Ruh roh. Miles Teller was arrested in San Diego for public intoxication.

-The Bachelor couple who’s wedding was supposed to air on Bachelor in Paradise went through with the ceremony this weekend. I’m so curious about what the show’s likely cancellation means for contracts. If you were promised a televised wedding and then said television show gets shut down, what do you get instead?

-Meanwhile, Bachelor in Paradise contestant DeMario Jackson’s lawyer says video evidence will vindicate his client.

–Ryan Reynolds teased the Deadpool sequel by posing outside the X-Men mansion in Vancouver (or, as I like to call it, Oliver Queen’s house).

-Bless Buzzfeed for asking Sofia Coppola why her remake of The Beguiled (which is set during confederacy) erased the female slave character.

–Justin Bieber swears he’s never going to jail again. He posted it on the internet so it must be true.

–Brad Pitt celebrated Father’s Day early with is kids on Saturday.

-The Mummy’s director Alex Kurtzman says “we made a film for audiences, not critics.” But audiences scored it really low too, so?

–Miley Cyrus called out Dolce & Gabbana for their “politics” and Stefano Gabbana responded with an Instagram rant.

-Rough Night wasn’t projected to do well this weekend, but no one expected Mandy Moore’s shark thriller 47 Meters Down to beat it.

-This is a good piece on how the Bill Cosby mistrial is a harsh reminder of the power of celebrity and the limits of our institutions.

-Speaking of rebooted shows, Will & Grace will premiere Sept 28.

-Here’s our first look at Pitch Perfect 3. This franchise is my BFF’s movie comfort food, so I’ve already resigned myself to rewatching it 37 times.

Gilmore Girls Reviews: The Critics Weigh In

gilmore-girls-ew

-The Gilmore Girls EW cover was revealed (what’s with Luke‘s hair?) on the same day that the review embargo was lifted. The general consensus about the revival: it’s messy but occasionally wonderful. TV Line says it’s “exactly like you remember, exactly what you need” (though they’ve basically turned into a fansite), EW gives it a B+, THR’s Daniel Fienberg (who’s always a tough sell) says it is “flawed, but a must for fans,” Alan Sepinwall calls it “kind of a mess, but one we’re glad exists,” Vulture says you may find yourself “more easily spotting some of the flaws that co-exist alongside its charms,” and Variety’s Mo Ryan (who’s opinion I most often agree with) says it’s “sometimes too overstuffed” but it remains “TV comfort food.” Good enough for me! Also, everyone seems to subtly imply that Alexis Bledel remains the weakest link which…yeah.

-Meanwhile, last night Jimmy Fallon revealed that he’s deep in the Gilmore Girls fandom — and he’s #TeamJess. Obviously.

–Lin-Manuel Miranda revealed he’s making a secret Disney film!

-God, I love when Michael Shannon is on a press tour. While promoting Nocturnal Animals, he admitted that he fell asleep during Batman V Superman, and then went OFF when asked about the election.

-In 1966, a 40-year-old Tony Bennett met a pregnant superfan backstage. Decades later, he married the baby.  HE MARRIED THE BABY, GUYS!

–Prince‘s estate is suing Jay Z’s Roc Nation for illegally streaming Prince’s music on Tidal .

-You can listen to an excerpt from Anna Kendrick‘s audiobook here.

–Ryan Gosling is just as confused by his Hey, Girl internet fame as you are: “I’ve never said that…Do you remember when Fabio got hit in the face with a pigeon on the roller coaster and it broke his nose? Sometimes I feel like I’m the pigeon and the internet is Fabio’s face.”

–Ricky Martin is adorably awkward and nervous when talking about his marriage proposal.

-Guess I can just go ahead and delete all those episodes of No Tomorrow and Frequency from my DVR. CW (who doesn’t cancel anything!) has basically cancelled them. Also, they’re holding iZombie until spring. *pout*

–Madonna is doing carpool karaoke!!

–Mandy Moore says that when she met Justin Timberlake, he told her “You have big feet for a girl!” Charming.

–Taylor Swift topped Forbes highest-earning celeb under 30 list with $170 million, while the Kardashian/Jenners have six spots with $122 million.

-Everyone’s already calling the Best Supporting Actress Oscar race for Viola Davis. It still bugs me that she’s able to submit for supporting…

–Miles Teller tries to convince us that he’s grown up. Uh huh.

-Did you guys catch David Blaine’s special last night? The Margot Robbie trick was the weirdest, but my fave reaction was David Beckham‘s, when he was telling an off-screen Victoria about the frog trick. (Love that he calls her “Tor.”)

Miley Cyrus Says No More Red Carpets, Publicists

miley-cyrus-elle-cover

-In her new Elle cover story, Miley Cyrus explains why she won’t do any more red carpets: “I had to do the [A Very Murray Christmas] premiere, and I will never do a red carpet again. Why, when people are starving, am I on a carpet that’s red? Because I’m ‘important’? Because I’m ‘famous’? That’s not how I roll. It’s like a skit—it’s like Zoolander.” That all sounds well and good, but as George Stephanopoulos pointed out on GMA this morning, how is appearing on a magazine much different than walking a carpet?

–Gwen Stefani is bringing back her problematic Harajuku girls in an animated series for Nickelodeon.

–Miles Teller sounds like he’s in the dark on the possibility of Divergent becoming a TV movie. “I’ve learned everything I know from the trades.”

-I was super charmed by La La Land last night (and my Ryan Gosling at the Q&A). Definitely my favourite thing I’ve seen at TIFF so far.

-Huh. So Vulture quoted me in an article about Tom Ford (and possibly read to him what I said about his movie?). That’s not weird at all.

–Amanda Seyfried is engaged to Thomas Sadoski. Blind item readers everywhere are raising a glass…

-I don’t watch the Great British Bakeoff but I have friends who are obsessed with it. Too bad it sounds like the show is falling apart behind the scenes.

–Ryan Lochte‘s debut on DWTS was interrupted when a person rushed the stage during Monday night’s premiere. It looked kind of violent.

-Not surprisingly, Naya Rivera doesn’t have a lot of nice things to say about Lea Michele in her new book.

–Meg Ryan, James Corden, and Adam Scott acted out Beyonce lyrics last night.

-The new Westworld trailer is super creepy.

-Nice! Donald Glover’s Atlanta premiere had the best ratings of any basic cable comedy in three years.

–Samantha Bee continues to kill it.

–Director X confirmed Rihanna & Drake’s relationship. It was nice of him to not go, “well duh!” though.

-For some reason, Bradley Cooper decided to talk to Michelle Obama about his junk.

-This Adrian Grenier interview  is beyond ridiculous. I love it.

-I probably wasn’t supposed to snicker through the entire Fifty Shades Darker trailer, right?
