Channing Tatum Loses at Jenga — And We All Win!

-If this is the result of Channing Tatum losing a game of Jenga, he should always always be playing Jenga.

–Anjelica Huston gave a free-wheeling interview to Vulture and although her views on #MeToo and her defense of Jeffrey Tambor and Woody Allen aren’t great, most of her other answers are amazingly candid.  She claims that after she beat Oprah Winfrey at the Oscars, the TV icon wouldn’t speak to her when they crossed paths, and talked about the bad behavior of costars Eddie Murphy and Bill Murray (“He was a shit to me on Life Aquatic”), and ex-boyfriends Jack Nicholson and Ryan O’Neal (“He head-butted me. He took my head in his hands and hit it with full force against his head because he couldn’t find me at a party”).

-Wow, how cute is Princess Charlotte in these newly released portraits from the palace?

-This is a fascinating look at who got higher billing on Avengers: Endgame.

-Now that Endgame has been in theatres for a bit, the stars are starting to share more bts stuff. Robert Downey Jr. posted pics from a lunch he hosted for the ladies of MCU, while Chris Pratt and Elizabeth Olsen shared videos from a crowded day on set.

-Meanwhile, this video of Anthony Mackie roasting Tom Holland during an interview is pure gold, as is this interview with Chris Hemsworth trying to remember all the MCU movies.

-After all the drama with 50 Cent (Fofty) have Lala and Randall Emmett split?

–Emma Bunton insists there’s no drama between her and Mel B after that fling reveal: “We’re in the studio and we’re laughing, we love the drama.”

–Lucy Liu got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today, and her Charlie’s Angels costar Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz showed up to support her.

-Wait, we have been mispronouncing Lloyd Dobler’s name all this time?!

-HBO has released the trailer for season two of Succession. That show took quite a few episodes for me to get into it, but now I’m all in.

-Every new trailer for Mindy Kaling and Emma Thompson‘s Late Night makes me more and more excited for this movie.

-Hulu threw a star-studded presentation in NYC this morning, where they debuted new trailers for George Clooney’s Catch 22, the latest season of The Handmaid’s Tale, and the one I’m most excited about: the Veronica Mars revival.  Damn, this trailer looks good!

Amber Heard and Johnny Depp Reach Settlement

amber-heard-bruises-photos

–Johnny Depp and Amber Heard have reportedly reached a $7 million divorce settlement out of court. It’s much more than she was originally asking for, but considering all the shit that was released this week, it makes sense that he’d pay what he needed to make this go away quickly. Their joint statement is pretty telling, too.

-Meanwhile, Amber‘s camp is denying rumours she had an affair with Billy Bob Thorton. Cause, you know, THAT was the most interesting tidbit to come out of the story about Depp cutting his finger and smearing the wall with blood in front of her.

-Pour one out for Justin Bieber‘s Instagram account, which he shut down following all that poo volleying between him and Selena Gomez.

-There’s lots more reaction to Nate Parker‘s interview about his 1999 sexual assault charge, and how that might affect Birth of a Nation’s upcoming TIFF premiere and its Oscar chances. I’ll tell you this, after reading the call transcript between him and the victim (who falsely claimed to be pregnant, in an attempt to get him to identify the other guy in the room that night), I pretty much have zero desire to support that film. “”I can’t control your drinking…I don’t know exactly how drunk you were.” Horrific.

-Oh god. This story just got a million times worse. The accuser’s brother just revealed that she killed herself in 2012. JFC.

–Ellen DeGeneres is defending herself against racism allegations following her Usain Bolt tweet.

-Today’s mantra: Please don’t be Britney. Please don’t be Britney. Please don’t be Britney.

-In happier news, she’s officially confirmed to perform at the VMAs for the first time in nearly 10 years.

–Anna Paquin is now set star in CBC’s adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s Alias Grace, written and produce by Sarah Polley. I’m going to try to repress my angsty 12th grader hatred of that book and watch this thing.

-Netflix’s boss says he decided to release Gilmore Girls all at once instead of the staggered type of release they’re trying with shows like The Get Down because “I’m petrified of those fans.” Makes sense.

–Robert Downey Jr and Nic Pizzolatto are eyeing a TV show at HBO. The project may be based on Downey’s long-gestating Perry Mason reboot, but I want RDJ to stay away from Nic’s True Detective-ness.

–Lin-Manuel Miranda has signed up for Disney’s live-action Little Mermaid, while Keira Knightley will be a sugarplum fairy in the live-action Nutcracker.

-God, I love this Winona Ryder magazine cover.

–Caitlyn Jenner‘s E! show I Am Cait has been cancelled after two seasons.

–John Krasinski has just signed on as the TV action hero in Amazon’s Jack Ryan series.

-Speaking of John, I spent more time at the Sicario screening last year trying to sneak glimpses of him in the row in front of me than watching the actual movie, which means I should probably not try to get tickets for Denis Villeneuve‘s latest film. The full trailer looks good, though.

Leslie Jones Is Going to the Olympics!

–Leslie Jones‘ Olympics commentary on social media was so good this weekend, she just got invited to cover Rio for NBC. And she’s doing it! This is what happens when you don’t let the haters scare you off Twitter for good.

-Also, she has the cutest fan ever.

-Oh, FFS. Now Kim Kardashian is jumping on the “I’m not a feminist” train, saying she’s “not a ‘free the nipple’-type girl.” A) Feminist or not, she still benefits from feminism, and B) would someone please buy Hollywood a dictionary that’s been published post-1967?!

–Lindsay Lohan and fiancé Egor Tarabasov got into a nasty-looking fight on a public beach, so of course there’s photos. After they surfaced, she spoke out, saying “No woman can be hit and stay with that person if that person isn’t prepared to say sorry.” (I would have ended that sentence before the word ‘if’, but at least she seems to have left him.)

-Between the movie poster Robert Downey Jr. posted on his Facebook page and Supergirl’s “new” poster, it was a bad weekend for stars/official outlets sharing things that ended up being fan art.

–New Girl and Brooklyn 99 are getting in on the crossover madness this fall. I stopped watching both of those shows ages ago, but good on them.

–Mariah Carey really is going to guest-star on Empire, apparently. She’s not playing herself though, which seems like a miss.

-Suicide Squad may have opened big this weekend, but it’s not necessarily a total success yet. After pulling in an impressive $65.1M on Friday, it dropped a massive 41% day-over-day. (A 30% drop is considered bad, so this is really not good.) We’ll see.

-CBS’s six new shows feature six white dudes as leads. I mean, do we expect anything more of them at this point, though?

–Lea Michele just Snapchatted her lip waxing. Civilization is doomed.

–John Oliver‘s segment last night on the decline of print news was pretty much a regurgitation of the conversation my friends and I have been having since I was a young ‘un in journalism school. Much wittier, though. (“Digital First sounds like a high school euphemism for seductively sucking on a finger.”)

–Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg will throw weekly joint dinner parties on a new VH1 series, which already sounds like my new favourite TV show.

-I’m probably really late to the party, but I just discovered the My Dad Wrote a Porno podcast and Oh. My. God. If you have any interest in listening to a British guy and his two hyper-articulate friends break down his father’s terrible, terrible attempt at erotica, I highly recommend it. It makes me cry-laugh on the subway.

–Seth Rogen competed against Jimmy Fallon in Lip Sync Battle, and his “Hotline Bling” dance moves were pretty great. (Also, Rogen looks great!)

-Meanwhile, Rogen says he’s no longer mad at Katherine Heigl. That makes one of us!

-A new Moana trailer dropped during the Olympics coverage this weekend.
