Brad Pitt Cleared of Child-Abuse Allegations

–Brad Pitt has been cleared of child-abuse allegations after the DCFS did not find evidence to support either the abuse claims or a pattern of misconduct between him and the children.

-Meanwhile, Brad made his first red carpet appearance since splitting from Angelina Jolie at last night’s Allied premiere, saying “It’s really sweet, everyone’s been very kind out here.”

-I really liked this story about how in times like these, it can feel like entertainment doesn’t matter. But it does.

-A parks and Rec writer posted a letter to America from Leslie Knope regarding Donald Trump. It may or not have made me tear up. (Ok, it did.)

-Meanwhile, everyone on social media is sharing this letter Aaron Sorkin wrote to his daughter about the election. Sure, I guess. I mean, this is the same guy who reportedly threw a female writer out of the Newsroom writing room for objecting to that episode which turned Don into a rape apologist, and who once said to a reporter “Listen here, internet girl” before giving her a lecture about how she needs to read a newspaper (even though she worked for one),  but sure.

–Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna have welcomed a baby girl they named Dream. And of course they made sure to document her arrival for a reality show special.

–Julie Bowen addressed rumors that she’s feuding with her Modern Family costar, Sofia Vergara. I’d never even heard those rumours but now I’m intrigued!

–Amy Sedaris and Chris Elliott are in a new webseries called Thanksgiving and I’m in!

–Donald Glover isn’t slowing down after his Atlanta success. He just announced a new Childish Gambino album and shared the first new track in two years.

-In other exciting new music news, here’s a new xx track!

–Billy Bob Thorton says his marriage to Angelina Jolie was doomed because “I never felt good enough for her.” Well, to be fair, he probably wasn’t.

-Passengers costars Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt charmingly discussed man boob sweat on today’s Ellen.

-I don’t really understand the first teaser trailer for Luc Besson‘s intergalactic film Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. But on the plus side, is that Rihanna in a bowler hat?!

Brad Pitt’s Side Of The Story

brad-pitt-angelina-jolie-divorce

-It took awhile but it looks like Brad Pitt has finally showed up. After TMZ reported that the plane incident involved a fight between him and Angelina Jolie that go so bad, 15-year-old Maddox jumped in between them to defend his mother, Pitt lawyered up with the guy who represented Russell Simmons and Charlie Sheen. He also told his side of the story (through sources) in an exclusive to People, with his camp insisting “He is emphatic that it did not reach the level of physical abuse, that no one was physically harmed. He did not hit his child in the face in any way.” (The “in the face” clarification strikes me as odd.) Also, as Lainey pointed out, the story has undergone a curious edit since it was first posted. Gone are the mentions that “the confrontation was nose to nose” and that he “was not black-out drunk.” Meanwhile, Us Weekly is claiming there is partial video of the plane incident which, if it ever comes out, will be this year’s elevator footage.

-People continues to try to play both sides, saying of her decision: “She’s loved this man for several years, and [divorce] is not something you do impulsively.”

–Kim Kardashian allegedly said she’s considering voting for Trump, which made the internet extra rage-y today. Weirdly though, there’s no sign of that quote in the online version of the interview.  Apparently, it’s in the printed version though.

–Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo had a baby girl (awww!) and named her Dusty Rose (ewww!).

-We’re day five into the fall TV season and pretty much all new shows (with the exception of Notorious and Pitch) debuted to pretty decent numbers. Returning shows, however, are tanking. This year, if your returning show dips only a little from last year’s numbers, it’s now considered a win.

–Gigi Hadid was picked up and lifted by a “notorious celebrity prankster”, who she took down like the goddamn badass that she is. Now he’s claiming he was taking a moral stand against high fashion. Gross.

-Every supermodel you could name walked the Versace show.

-I like that Ellen Pompeo still seems to be having fun at Grey’s. (Also, this made me miss all the old scenes with her and Christina dancing.)

-One of the Chainsmokers fell off of the stage during a concert, which is super satisfying to watch after reading that terrible Billboard interview with them.

-I am frankly way too hormotional today to deal with Ryan Murphy sharing Cory Monteith’s last words to him before his death.

–Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello are dispelling rumours with a romantic Turks and Caicos vacation.

–Chris Evans thinks Captain America might be a virgin. Huh.

-Man, I missed *a lot* of Easter eggs on Mr Robot this season.

-Meanwhile, the show’s creator talked about how bummed he and the cast were when viewers figured out this year’s big twist while still shooting.

-I wasn’t really digging the time-wimey wonkiness the season finale of The Flash introduced, but the trailer for the new season actually looks kinda fun.

 

Jimmy Kimmel Channels Marcia Clark for THR

–Jimmy Kimmel poses as as Marcia Clark, Jon Snow and Mr. Robot for THR’s new Emmy cover story. The interview is really good, with him talking about surviving ABC even though “it became a very female network. And suddenly my antics were out of place,” his weird ‘no eating two days a week’ diet, and his foodie travel planning.

–Kristen Bell introduces Pinksourcing, where women are a bargain at the workplace since you only have to pay them 77 cents on the dollar!

-Kim Kardashian took 1,500 selfies a day on her Mexico vacation. I don’t think she knows what the word “vacation” means.

–Britney Spears got bored so she decided to see if she could still do mid-air splits. Hasn’t she heard of Netflix binges?

-Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner is a novelist now.

–Sofia Vergara is the highest-paid actress on TV. Now think about the work Keri Russell, Tatiana Maslany, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Constance Wu, Sarah Paulson, Aya Cash, Voila Davis, Maura Tierney and Carrie Coon did this year and try not to cry.

-Speaking of actresses doing wonderful work on the small screen, I love this article on how Jane The Virgin’s Gina Rodriguez has the trickiest job on TV.

-Meanwhile in TV news, here’s a good look at how each of the 5 networks are trying to win this year. (I just realized that I’m not watching one single returning show on NBC, Fox, ABC or CBS. Weird.) I’m also so curious to see how Supergirl fares on the CW. I think it’ll be its number one show, but their hopes that it’ll pull in half of its CBS audience seem crazy optimistic to me.

–Lance Bass is trying to convince us that Chris Kirkpatrick was the member of ‘N Sync who slept with the most people. Cute.

–Renée Zellweger wrestled Jimmy Fallon last night and won.

–Kid Cudi went off on Twitter today, saying (among other things) that Kanye and Drake don’t give a f*ck about him.

-Adorable though probably regrettable: GoT costars Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner got matching tattoos.

–Rebecca Hall confirmed that her Iron Man 3 role was greatly reduced.

-This is a great read on how Gabrielle Union is doing Nate Parker’s job . “The responsibility for serious discussions about rape has instead fallen on another victim.”

-The new Star Trek series for CBS has been delayed until May, while the Good Wife spinoff has been moved up.

-THR’s oral history of South Park includes an interesting bit about Isaac Hayes quitting. Matt Stone says it was because of the Scientology episode, but Hayes’ son seems to imply it was the Scientologists in his father’s life that made the call after he suffered a stroke. “He was in no position to resign under his own knowledge. At the time, everybody around my father was involved in Scientology — his assistants, the core group of people. So someone quit South Park on Isaac Hayes’ behalf. We don’t know who.”

-Netflix, which pretty much doesn’t cancel anything, say it will end Bloodline.

-The Doctor Strange movie added “an Asian manservant” character to balance Tilda Swinton playing an Asian guru. Not helping, guys.

-A French TV host mocked Jonah Hill’s sex life — after he mocked hers first. I think I love her. (He reportedly canceled all of his French press for the upcoming movie after that interview, because of course he did.)

-Here’s the new trailer for the political thriller Miss Sloane, starring  Jessica Chastain.
