Prince

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.

Emilia Clarke Says She’s “Photoshopped and Drunk” on Esquire Cover

emilia-clark-sexiest-woman-esquire

–Emilia Clarke says she was “photoshopped and drunk” during her Esquire cover shoot. The Photoshopped part was pretty obvious. I could barely recognize her.

-Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner does a pretty mean Jon Snow impression. Her Professor X impression could use some work, though.

–Is Colin Farrell the reason Kirsten Dunst reportedly broke up with her boyfriend of four years Garrett Hedlund? I’m doubtful, but if true, she really needs to read the memoir his ex Emma Forrest wrote. Seriously gurl, read it!

-The fact that Michael Buble is being mercilessly mocked for the gross way he eats corn makes me way happier than it probably should.

-Prayer circle time, y’all. Prince has reportedly been hospitalized after an emergency landing in Illinois.

-Tough crowd. Jennifer Aniston was reportedly booed when she showed up late to the premiere of Mother’s Day. That’s seems like an overreaction. I’m sure she was only a little … wait… what’s that? She showed up an hour late? Never mind. Resume booing.

-I know celebrity pregnancy news comes in threes, but I’m super side-eying this report about Katie Holmes expecting with Jamie Foxx.

-Vulture’s piece examining why Hollywood keeps disrespecting Melissa McCarthy is so, so good. Why is everyone whining about how she needs a new agent instead of lining up to work with her? (I take issue with the notion that she surfaced out of nowhere, though — 7 seasons on the Gilmore Girls is a lot of exposure.)

-Sad news: Aisha Tyler and husband are divorcing after more than 20 years of marriage. She the bestest human ever and deserves a life filled with only happiness, rainbows and chocolate sprinkles.

-Jesus Christ. Did grown ass man Henry Cavill really give his 19-year-old girlfriend a promise ring? I was worried she would be too immature for him. Not anymore.

-The Ghost in the Shell producers are really leaning into the crapstorm. They reportedly ran VFX tests to make white actors appear Asian.

-MTV’s ‘delete you account‘ column is my new favourite thing. Erykah Badu wasn’t surprising but Parker Posey broke my heart a lil’ bit.

-Here’s a trailer for Mr Robot’s season two. I want it now!!

-This video of Paul Rudd getting excited when he heard his name being called by a kid is the best thing ever.

-The second best thing ever is this video of Stephen Amell correctly identifying photos of celebrity abs. It went from being impressive to being kind of scary. “That’s a before shot of Michael B Jordan.” Dude, let’s be friends. I think we share a lot of common interests….

–Drake joined Rihanna onstage during her performance in Toronto last night.

-Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt’s second season is now on Netflix, and critics are saying it feels more like 30 Rock. Sign me up!

-Following news that Louis C.K.‘s experimental web drama Horace and Pete put him millions of dollars in debt, here’s an interesting examination of TV’s modern business models and the worth of art.

-I mean, I’m seeing this Nine Lives trailer and yet I still can’t quite bring myself to fully believe that Kevin Spacey plays a talking cat.

-This story about how a movie critic once pooped his pants while waiting to talk to James Cameron about Avatar might be the best thing I’ve read all week.

-A clothing company is claiming Beyonce didn’t give them enough credit in her Elle photo spread. Isn’t that the magazine’s job?

-Here’s the trailer for Nate Parker‘s eagerly awaited The Birth of a Nation, which set a record at the Sundance Film Festival when it was sold for $17.5 million.

Outlander Stars Get Naked for EW

outlander-ew-cover

-I no longer watch Outlander, but I really wish the casts of all of the shows I watch would do photo shoots like this. Lordy!

-This is the funniest rant you’ll read about Kate Hudson today.

–Kate Winslet called Leonardo DiCaprio the “love of her life.” Oh, simmer down. He’s already going to win.

-You stay away from Lorde, Diplo! You stay far, far away!

-The writer of Idiocracy is very sad about correctly predicting the future. So are we, buddy.

–Prince is about to start throwing surprise concerts all over North America. Woot!

-How nice of NBC to make sure we can all enjoy our night on March 12 instead of feeling the need to stay home and watch SNL.

–Ryan Phillippe is trying his hand at stand-up comedy. If he really wants to get the crowd laughing, he should just show clips from Secrets and Lies.

-We as a society need to host an intervention with Sarah Michelle Gellar about her career, because this is a bad idea. Willow already has the banner:
-I have no desire to watch the Full House reboot, but I’m very entertained by the hilarious reviews. My favourite: “It’s like a porn parody without the porn.”

-Whoopsie! Chrissy Teigen accidentally published her phone number in her cookbook.

-I’m really surprised that the stars of Bones agreed to come back, even if it’s just for one more season.

-Here’s the first trailer for Taboo, FX’s new 8-episode drama series starring Tom Hardy in a loin cloth.
