Azealia Banks Kicked Out of Russell Crowe’s Hotel Room


-What the hell happened this weekend between Russell Crowe and Azealia Banks? She was reportedly hanging out in his hotel as RZA‘s guest, began criticizing his music selection and allegedly got into an altercation with another female. Crowe is said to have physically removed her and called security, but now she’s filed a police report saying that he choked her and called her the n-word, and is promising “receipts.” So now the two most belligerent people in Hollywood are in a he said/she said; this should end well.

-Congrats to Designated Survivor’s Italia Ricci and The Flash’s Robbie Amell, who got married this weekend. (Entertainment Tonight congratulated the wrong Amell. If they ever need an expert on all things Amellian, I’m available…)

-Speaking of weddings, Glee star Dianna Agron got married to a guy from Mumford & Sons.

–Sarah Jessica Parker is threatening us with another SATC movie. Let us live, woman!

-In other news about reboots no one wants, Jason Segel is already talking about a How I Met Your Mother reunion.

-People says Jennifer Lopez dumped Casper Smart because he cheated on her? I don’t understand life.

–Lin-Manuel Miranda wing-manning for Leslie Jones on Twitter is my new favourite thing!

-Hamilton’s Leslie Odom, Jr. is expecting a baby with Nicolette Robinson. Maybe now Lena Dunham won’t be insulting the next time he doesn’t flirt with her.

–Perrie Edwards says Zayn Malik ended their engagement with a text message. Kids today.

-Kids today, part deux: Joe Jonas doesn’t feel the need to apologize to Ashley Green for telling everyone she took his virginity.

-I really liked this article on Kristen Stewart‘s complicated new appeal.

-The only thing that would make this video of every shot of Tom Cruise running in movies better would be adding scenes of the Cougar Town cast making fun of Tom Cruise running in movies.

–Kylie Jenner says she didn’t get butt implants, it’s just her “chunkiness.” If by “chunkiness” she means “injections” then sure.

-This is an interesting take on how the Billy Bush saga might mark the end of softball entertainment journalism.

-Meanwhile, Bush might get a $10 million settlement from NBC just to go away.

–Taylor Swift donated $1 million to Louisiana flood victims because despite everything, she’s still kinda great.

–Hilary Duff is dating a personal trainer, which sounds like my version of hell.

-Here’s the first promo for Big Little Lies, the new limited HBO series starring Reese Witherspoon, Shailene Woodley, Adam Scott and Nicole Kidman, directed by Jean-Marc Vallee. Just give everyone all the Emmys now.

-Oh god. Glee star Mark Salling was arrested this morning for possession of child porn.

–Russell Crowe fought with Virgin Australia after his hoverboards were refused as luggage. Celebs, they’re just like us!

–Kristen Bell is going to do some work on an upcoming episode of iZombie, which is all kinds of awesome.

–Jennifer Garner is not taking Ben Affleck back. It’s a Christmas miracle!

-Is Guy Ritchie turning Madonna‘s son against her? The fact that the 15-year-old had to be ordered to spend xmas with his mom isn’t a good sign. Remember when he was a cute lil b-boy at his mom’s concerts?

-This warms the heart: Joss Whedon is donating up to $100,000 to Planned Parenthood, and Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher are donating $1 million to Syrian victims.

–Leslie Jones says she confronted Kenan Thompson over his comments about diversity on SNL, and now he’s “possibly my best friend on the show.”

-Fox has released a 21-minute preview of The X Files reboot. I’m not going to watch, but I’m just happy it exists!

-I’ve been away for a while. Do we have any traction on the rumours of Courteney Cox and Matthew Perry dating? Anything?!

-The eyes have it in Orphan Black’s new teaser trailer for season 4.

–Ruby Rose has big news, but it’s not about her uterus.

–Britney Spears’s Instagram has become a fascinating journey through her mind.

-Has there ever been a more delightful press tour than the Star Wars one? Look at this. And this. And this. I mean, really.

-Meanwhile, The Force Awakens has now raked in $1.16B worldwide.

-Also, Carrie Fisher is pretty done with y’all talking about whether or not she’s aged well.

-I fell down a rabbit hole over the holidays and watched all of Netflix’s Making a Murderer, which is insanely engrossing. I’m not alone; Alec Baldwin live-tweeted his viewing. HBO & PBS both passed on the series a few years ago, long before we all caught Serial fever. Now hacktivists Anonymous have taken up the cause (and introduced a new tow truck theory).

–Hugh Jackman: kicking my “awwws” into overdrive once again.

-This is a good/sad piece on why so many excellent pop culture sites died in 2015.

-Anyone else think it’s hilarious that The Hateful Eight pirated screener traced back to a top Hollywood exec?

-I stopped watching Homeland after they had one perfect season and then torpedoed all my good feelings about it with subsequent episodes, but Mandy Patinkin’s passionate rant on Colbert about what that show has taught him about North Americans’ reactions to Muslims is pretty incredible.

–Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani were inseparable over the holidays.

-This fascinates (but doesn’t surprise) me: Agent Carter and Supergirl’s viewers are evenly split between men and women.

-The holidays brought us not one, but two new Deadpool trailers (including this very NSFW red band one):

Megan Fox Isn’t a Narcissist or a Mannequin

-I’m not exactly sure what Megan Fox is promoting that got her a magazine cover, but the ensuing quotes are so hilariously smug that I’ll allow it.

–Iggy Azalea just can’t stop gushing about her boob job – no matter how much we may want her to.

-The world’s most famous musicians hosted the world’s most awkward press conference yesterday. (I like the concept of Tidal, but Jay Z is cray if he thinks people are going to spend more than double what Netflix costs on a monthly music streaming subscription.)

-God, I love watching comedians obliterate drunken hecklers.

-Speaking of comedians, I know they use Twitter to workshop jokes and therefore deserve some leniency, but I don’t love the way that people are using that as an excuse to hand-wave away the Trevor Noah controversy. I mean, he’s now fronting a show whose whole purpose is to smugly mock dumb shit like this.

-Also, according to Bill Simmons, Amy Poehler, Amy Schumer and Louis CK all turned down The Daily Show hosting job before it was offered to Noah. I’m still holding out hope that Aisha Tyler lands a late-night gig soon.

-The Justin Bieber roast aired last night. If you missed it, here are the most brutal jokes (and the worst part at the end when Bieber made an earnest plea for forgiveness.)

-God bless Melissa McBride for lobbying hard to spare her character on The Walking Dead last year. She’s the best thing that show has going for it.

–Russell Crowe tried to walk back his stupid comments about aging actresses — but then just ended up making a new bunch of stupid comments on the subject.

-Also, Crowe claims Michael Jackson prank called him for years.

-Not surprisingly, Harvey Weinstein has denied those reports that he sexually assaulted the 22-year-old Italian model.

-Wait, David Duchovny sings?! He’s putting out an album in May, but the trailer for it features everything but his actual voice.

-Meanwhile, the poster for Duchovny’s new NBC show has a very Californication vibe, which worries me.

-If you go out dancing with Claire Danes, expect to be bossed around a lot. Probably while listening to “Super Freak.”

-I remain charmed by how the One Tree Hill continues to host this fan event every single year.

-Whew! Even though only 7 people watch it, FX has renewed The Americans for a fourth season. New Girl was also renewed today.

-Um, Hilary Duff‘s new TV show Younger is actually getting rave reviews? (More because of Bunheads’ star Sutton Foster than her, but still!)

-God bless Billy Eichner for making clueless teens scream for Robert Durst.

-The guy who played the pastor on Broadchurch just landed a spot on the new Arrow/Flash spinoff, as did this Broadway actress.  Still no title/premise/reason for existence, though.

-OK! Magazine had to retract their story about Katy Perry being engaged and pregnant. That’s ok; they still have a whole magazine full of false stories to enjoy!

-There’s no better way to brighten your day than seeing Helen Mirren say “spotted dick” on helium.

-I really want Jennifer Lawrence’s hat. How do I make this happen?

-I somehow missed all the controversy surrounding Lena Dunham‘s New Yorker column, but this is a smart take on it.

-Meanwhile, Lena has promised her boyfriend she’ll reform — for one week.

–Kendrick Lamar tried to perform from the back of a moving truck last night but the police shut him down.

-Um, I think I’m going to love the new Mad Max movie and that confuses me.
