-In her new Vanity Fair cover storyRobin Wright says she’s “never been happier” than with Ben Foster, and promptly shuts down any trash talk about her ex, Sean Penn. She’s a bit of an ice queen and I freakin’ love it!

-Watch The Rock save people from earthquakes in the new San Andreas trailer. I’m glad Colton Haynes is getting work, even if it’s in stuff like this. I fear his future on Arrow is not long and movies like this don’t actually require him to, you know, act.

-Here’s the new trailer for Ride starring Helen Hunt and Luke Wilson.

-Listen to the voices in your head in the new trailer for Pixar’s Inside Out. I want Amy Poehler to voice everything from now on forever. Is that asking a lot?

Sofia Vergara has blasted critics who said her Emmy pedestal moment was sexiest. (Actually, she singled out just one critic in particular, which is bizarre.)
