-Congrats to Cardi B who just welcomed her first childa baby girl she named Kulture Kiari Cephus.

-Everyone else can stop with the #InMyFeelingsChallenge. Sterling K. Brown and Susan Kelechi Watson just won the whole thing with this video to celebrate their first day back on the set of This Is Us.

Henry Cavill telling GQ that #MeToo has made it more difficult for him to date is a really, really bad look. “It’s very difficult to do that if there are certain rules in place. Because then it’s like, “Well, I don’t want to go up and talk to her, because I’m going to be called a rapist or something.'”

Kristen Bell wears gloves in the pool to avoid prune-y fingers. Rich people are weird.

-Wow, THR’s cover story is a crazy read. It’s an investigation into a con artist who is impersonating top female execs in Hollywood like Kathleen Kennedy and Amy Pascal as part of a global scam.

Kylie Jenner is on the cover of Forbes as the youngest self-made billionaire. But exactly how “self-made” is she?

Sarah Palin feels duped by Sacha Baron Cohen, who she says “heavily disguised himself as a disabled U.S. Veteran” during an interview for his new show. This is the best PR leading up to the premiere the show could have possibly gotten…

Donald Glover just dropped two new summer-themed songs as Childish Gambino.

-We’re now just a few days behind the US when it comes to Handmaid’s Tale airings (it dropped on Hulu last night; we get it on Bravo on Sunday). I’ve been trying to avoid reviews but the general sentiment from critics on Twitter has been hard to avoid.

-Also, the show cancelled that planned line of wine following all the social media backlash.

-What the hell is “dude-friendly wine“, Stephen Amell?!? Gawd, masculinity is so damn fragile.

-I’m choosing to believe that Justin Theroux wore a Wu-Tang Clan hat in tribute to The Leftovers and Nora’s impromptu tattoo.

Dwayne Johnson is not running for office in 2020 — but he isn’t ruling out a future presidential run.

-His Skyscraper costar Neve Campbell (who looked ah-maz-ing at the premiere) talked to Stephen Colbert about why she stepped away from acting after Scream.

-Wait, so not only are we getting Jared Leto‘s Joker origin movie, we’re also getting Joaquin Phoenix’s? How many of these things do we really need?

-This sucks: Demi Moore is reportedly the victim of a major credit card fraud case. A man allegedly reported her card missing and then intercepted her new card before racking up $169k in bills.

Green Day’s “American Idiot” has re-entered the British charts as people are trying to get it to the No. 1 song before Trump’s visit.

-Comic book fans love Y: The Last Man. Like, they LOVE it. At least the casting of FX’s upcoming adaptation is promising. Dunkirk’s Barry Keoghan has landed the role of Yorick, the last living man on Earth after a mysterious illness wipes out every other single male mammal in the world. Imogen Poots will play his sister, Hero, and Diane Lane will play their mother, Senator Jennifer Brown.

-I gave up on The Walking Dead ages ago, but I dig the fact that the new showrunner is a woman.

-Catfish’s Nev Schulman has been cleared of sexual misconduct allegations in an internal MTV investigation.

-Wait, Netflix’s The Kissing Booth started out as a Wattpad fic written by a 15-year-old? That movie makes so much more sense now…

-The fact that all the US TV critics I follow are suddenly gushing over Letterkenny delights me.

-This is an interesting look back at Across The Universe from star Evan Rachel Wood and director Julie Taymor, who talk about the films bungled marketing, and Taymor’s “difficult” reputation.

Keira Knightley and Dominic West play authors struggling with infidelity in the Colette trailer.

Is Beyonce Pregnant Or Just Messing With Us?

Beyonce‘s belly bump watch just kicked into high gear thanks to this video from her new tour, in which she appears to cup her stomach. I dunno; she just had twins a year ago and she posed with a Corona just last week.

-In news that should surprise no one, Johnny Depp is being sued for allegedly punching a location manager on the City of Lies set. The lawsuit claims the actor screamed obscenities at the crew member and punched him twice in the ribs, then offered him $100,000 to punch back.

Robin Wright broke her silence about costar Kevin Spacey, making it clear she didn’t have a friendship with him beyond the House of Cards set. In her Today Show interview, she says “Kevin and I knew each other between action and cut, and in between setups, where we would giggle. I didn’t really …I didn’t know the man. I knew the incredible craftsman that he is.”

-Also, costar Patricia Clarkson credits her for saving the show after the scandal. “Robin led all of this charge so that people would save their livelihoods, because when the show goes away, some people don’t get paid. I think it’s going to be a stunning, stunning new season and I’m thankful for it.”

-Is 24 the new age for celebrities to get engaged? And cripes, is that another pear-shaped diamond?!

Gal Gadot stopped by a children’s hospital in Virginia dressed like Wonder Woman and the photos are lovely.

-I really like Dwayne Johnson‘s response to those tough Baywatch reviews: “It’s not that critics didn’t like it. They … hated it. But to clarify, it’s not audience first, critics never. Critics love movies, and we’re all in this business together.”

-Grey’s Anatomy star Jesse Williams wants a new trial to lower his $50K monthly child support bill.

-I don’t love the olive green Ralph Lauren dress that Meghan Markle wore to Prince Louis‘ christening today, but Princess Charlotte was always going to steal the show anyway.

Harvey Weinstein appeared in court and  pled not guilty to new sexual assault charges, and won’t face home confinement. Also, he’s apparently working as a paralegal on his own case.

-The new chief of Warner laid out his vision for HBO — and he basically wants to turn it into Netflix. This is so weird and misguided. HBO has an established and respected brand and tone; Netflix’s original content strategy just seems to be throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks without worrying about bloat or quality.

Drake‘s Scorpion is now the first album to reach 1 billion streams in a week. I’m happy for him; I just wish it was a better album.

-Also, Drake‘s new freestyle “Behind Barz” seems to be about Kanye West.

-I’m both impressed and not at all surprised that Lin-Manuel Miranda deals with mean people by being unfailingly cheerful until they feel so bad they end up apologizing.

Stan Lee has dropped his $1 billion lawsuit against his former company.

-Lawrence is nowhere to be seen and Issa looks like she’s still living with Daniel in the new Insecure promo.

-The ladies of Litchfield try to adjust to life in maximum security in the season 6 trailer for Orange Is The New Black.

-Gross. Jerry O’Connell  is hosting a show called Real Men Watch Bravo this fall, because god forbid we don’t coddle masculine fragility. Straight white dudes exhaust me.

Sacha Baron Cohen released a short preview of his new Showtime show Who Is America, which he says he’s been undercover secretly filming it for a year. In the clip, he gets Dick Cheney to autograph his “waterboarding kit.”

Jessica Chastain and James McAvoy are currently shooting the IT sequel in Toronto, and her IG stories make it seem like they’re having a great time. They dined at Kasa Moto on Saturday (so close to my house!) and then she got him to demonstrate proper hand washing technique.

Emma Stone, Olivia Colman and Rachel Weisz star in the first trailer for The Favourite. (I love that they’re using the British spelling.) It’s from the director of The Lobster, a movie I still haven’t quite wrapped my head around.

George Clooney Takes on DiCaprio, Crowe and Kutcher in Esquire

george-clooney-esquire

-The first thing I thought when I read George Clooney’s new Esquire interview was “Wait, I’ve already read this dog story. In Esquire!” He also repeats (practically verbatim) the freedom of speech comments he made in last week’s Hollywood Reporter roundtable. I guess when you’re George Clooney, you’re charming enough to get away with recycling anecdotes. But he also goes into some new juicy territory, making me wish The Monuments Men was still in Oscar contention so he’d keep giving interviews. Everyone’s focusing on his celebrity takedowns (he mocks Leonardo DiCaprio‘s self-importance, Russell Crowe‘s poetry, Ashton Kutcher‘s mindless tweets), but he’s equally enthusiastic about praising people he likes, including Bill Murray and Brad Pitt.

-One of the people he inexplicably continues to like is Julia Roberts. She paid tribute to him at this weekend’s BAFTA-LA awards, where she presented his award barefoot and made it all about her.

-Despite Julia’s antics, Sacha Baron Cohen stole the show by pretending to kill his elderly award presenter on stage. The crowd didn’t really get that it wasn’t real.

-In other award show moments, MTV edited out Miley Cyrus smoking weed onstage at last nights MTV European Music Awards. I’m more disturbed by her high-cut bathing suit. Between that and Iggy Azalea’s wardrobe malfunction, there was just way too much labia at that show.

-The best part of the EMAs was when Ron Burgundy presented Eminem with an award, and Em started quoting Anchorman.

-Was that an engagement ring on Katy Perry‘s finger at the EMAs? For her sake, let’s hope not.

-Start your week right with an eyeful of Idris Elba. You’re welcome.

-I hate to agree with Us Weekly about anything, but Kerry Washington’s new Lucky cover IS pretty damn terrible.

-I don’t know what kind of Photoshop magic the people at Bobbi Brown have, but they once again made Katie Holmes look old school glam. There’s currently a giant poster of her hanging at The Bay that’s so stunning, it always makes me double-take.

Tom Cruise didn’t really compare his job to being a soldier, according to Tom Cruise‘s legal team.

Emma Thompson is so damn charming, she even convinced Sean Penn to join her in a Mary Poppins singalong.

Beyonce sang to a blind girl during her latest concert, and the Internet wept.

-Meanwhile, Beyonce reportedly lost her chance to voice Disney’s The Princess and the Frog because she refused to audition.

-Once again, I don’t think Dior is doing right by spokesperson Jennifer Lawrence. The back is interesting, but the skirt on that thing is terrible.

-Of course, her unfortunate dress didn’t stop JLaw from being an awesome human being. A lot. Seriously. It never ends.

-It looks like all her recent oversharing is starting to come back to bite Kaley Cucouo in the ass. She just sent out an angry tweet denying pregnancy reports.

Chris Pine was photographed getting handsy with a mystery blond in Paris.

-After losing American Dad to TBS, Fox has ordered another new series from Seth MacFarlane. Have they learned nothing from Dads?!?

Angela Lansbury says what we’re all thinking; calls CBS’ Murder She Wrote reboot a “mistake.”

Robert De Niro in talks to play Reese Witherspoon’s intern in a new movie. It’s weird how badly I want this to happen…

Lady Gaga’s flying dress is a lot less exciting than you’d expect, consider it’s an actual, functioning flying dress.

-Also, Gaga wants you to know that she’s addicted to marijuana.

-Due to NBC’s schedule f**kery, Parks and Rec will be airing their Halloween episode this week. At least they released a few funny preview clips.

Lena Dunham interviewed Mindy Kaling for Rookie, where they talked about what it’s like to be a women running a TV show.

-Speaking of Lena, Norm MacDonald spent the morning trolling her on Twitter.

-A source (aka their publicist) would like you to know that Will and Jada Smithdidn’t leave each other’s side” during their son’s birthday weekend in Las Vegas, ok?

-God bless whoever recut Thor as an episode of My Super Sweet Sixteen.

Matt Damon is following in George Clooney‘s footsteps and pocketing millions for being in an Nespresso ad.

Leonardo DiCaprio turns 39 today. How great do you think he must have felt this morning, waking up to learn that George just took a dump all over his birthday?

-Meanwhile, Kanye West performed at Leonardo’s birthday party — despite canceling six shows on his Yeezus tour.

Justin Bieber quit performing in the middle of his Paraguay concert, citing food poisoning.

-Oh, he also created some super racist grafitti art.

-CW continues to prove that ratings don’t really matter. They just picked up full seasons of Reign, The Tomorrow People and The Originals.

-I don’t watch Doctor Who, but the early release of the trailer is making lots of people I know very happy.

-I hate Blake Lively’s dress here. I feel like she’s two seconds away from twirling in a meadow while singing about how the hills are aliveeeee!

-Meanwhile, her husband Ryan Reynolds crushed our dreams by revealing the airplane puke story was a lie.

-Oh, Miley Cyrus is taking shower selfies now? How sweet.

-A new teaser for HBO’s Looking has dropped. Didn’t we already see this when it was called Queer As Folk?

-Here’s the trailer for Tar, James Franco‘s latest project starring Mila Kunis as his girlfriend, Jessica Chastain as his wife, and Zach Braff as his buddy. It’s directed by 12(!) people.
