Miley Cyrus Talks VMAs, Nicki Minaj, and Seth Rogen

miley-cyrus-vmas

-I don’t know when or how it happened, but I really like Miley Cyrus these days. Like, really. In her NYT article previewing the VMAs, she manages to address the Nicki Minaj question by getting her point across without starting a feud. She also revealed that Seth Rogen wrote her opening skits. I’m actually looking forward to her hosting the VMAs and lemme tell ya, I haven’t used “looking forward to” and “the VMAs” in a sentence together for over a decade.

-Miley also confirms to Elle UK that she’s dating Victoria’s Angel model Stella Maxwell, but they’re not exclusive.

–Billy Joel sang as Amy Schumer and Jennifer Lawrence danced on his piano at his concert last night. And with that Billy Joel just smashed all of Taylor Swift‘s squad goals…

–Stephen Colbert doesn’t like his Time cover photo. Seeing as the accompanying article was beyond flattering (almost to the point of sycophantic), he might want to reconsider bashing it.

-Remember the time George Clooney got Matt Damon and Bill Murray super drunk before they went on a talk show? Good times!

–Hugh Jackman continues to be a gem of a human being.

-Fear the Walking Dead continues to shatter rating records now that the DVR numbers are in. But…it’s not very good. Just wait until you see this Sunday’s episode. Just you wait.

-The book Scarlett Johansson tried to ban will be published in the U.K.

-Every time I start to get bummed out that every single TV critic I follow on Twitter HATED the X Files clip they showed at the TCAs, I’m just going to look at this photo Mitch Pileggi just posted and pray everything turns out as great as this pic.

-Last week, Lindsay Lohan was in Florence at a wedding and claimed she was roofied. I always, always, always am more apt to believe the woman in these situations, but the fact that she followed it up by running around the villa naked and speaking in a British accent doesn’t help her cause.

-I wanna look like Sarah Jessica Parker when I’m 50. Actually, if I could look like her now, that’d be swell.

-Congrats to Lucy Liu, who just welcomed a son via surrogate.

-This interview with Jordan Peele about ending Key and Peele is great.

–Tom Hardy’s recent DubSmash spree is the best way to close out the week, doncha think? (I *may* have watched this one of him doing 50 Cent more times than is socially acceptable.)

-Here’s a new trailer for Bill Murray‘s Rock the Kasbah, also starring Kate Hudson and Zooey Deschanel.

 

Anne Hathaway’s Big Career Move

anne-hathaway-wrecking-ball

–Anne Hathaway just signed on to a limited TV series, which might be the smartest move ever. She’s clearly not going to crack everyone’s hearts as a movie actress, but being in people’s living rooms on the regular? That could work for her.

-The Good Wife creators finally broke their silence on GreenScreenGate, and seriously, if that was the best they could do they should have just kept quiet. Good on Michael Ausiello for repeatedly reminding them the issue isn’t about gossip, but about treating your audience poorly. They didn’t get it though, and stuck to evasive non-answers. Comparing a green screened driving scene or a shootout is not the same kind of “trick” as needing to fake two characters having a simple conversation because you can’t do your job well enough to get your actors to behave professionally. Whatever happened behind the scenes, the showrunners are clearly working for Julianna Margulies now instead of the other way around.

-Sad news: police are searching for Rosie O’Donnell’s teen daughter after she went missing.

-The female movie exec who Emile Hirsch choked is disappointed that he only got a 15-day jail sentence. “I thought I was going to die.”

–Jon Stewart‘s retirement didn’t last long. He’ll host WWE’s SummerSlam this weekend. Between him and Stephen Amell competing in it, am I actually going to have to watch wrestling? Ugh.

-Speaking of Stewart, here’s Trevor Noah‘s first Daily Show promo.

–Stephen Colbert‘s new GQ cover story will reconfirm your undying love for him.

–Bill Hader‘s story on Seth Meyers‘ show about being stoned with Amy Schumer and the rest of the Trainwreck crew in Amsterdam might be the best late night bit I’ve seen in a while. He talks about how he lost an equally stoned SNL Vanessa Bayer, who shows up to interrupt the story.

-I might order tix to TIFF’s closing night film, based on this image alone.

–Zac Efron was in a much better mood on Jimmy Fallon last night than when I saw him at the TO afterparty of We Are Your Friends on Friday.

–Patrick Stewart surprise-kissed Conan O’Brien. #jealous

–Channing Tatum has adopted a rescue horse , just in case your crush on him was beginning to wan.

–James McAvoy and Daniel Radcliffe team up in the Victor Frankenstein trailer, and it’s everything I never knew I wanted.

Demi Lovato Calls Her Cosmo Cover “The Most Beautiful I Have Ever Felt”

demi-lovato-cosmo

–Demi Lovato’s new Cosmo cover is re-igniting my desire to get a ribcage tat. Damn you, Demi! I’m too old for this shit.

–Gwen Stefani fired her nanny after becoming suspicious of her relationship with Gavin Rossdale. Apparently, this is what every famous woman needs to do immediately.

-Meanwhile, they reportedly don’t have a prenup so shit’s about to get messy.

-In other ‘love is a sham’ news, Ben Affleck and the nanny reportedly left the Bahamas a few days before the divorce announcement and went to Vegas together.

-Meanwhile, I really liked this Grantland article on Gwen Stefani, Nicki Minaj, Jennifer Garner and the dilemma of the powerful woman.

–Stephen Colbert just made my room very blurry with his tribute to Jon Stewart on last night’s The Daily Show.

-Also, here’s Stewart’s farewell speech. The perfect finale was The Daily Show’s second-most-watched episode ever.

-Meanwhile, George Clooney is set to be Stephen Colbert’s first guest on his new show. Good call. Remember how charming he was as Rosie O’Donnell’s first guest?

-This is lovely: Dr. Dre is donating his new album’s royalties to fund an arts center in Compton.

-It’s been way too long since we’ve seen Lupita Nyong’o, but this photo of her frolicking is a great comeback.

-I feel like the Blake Lively edition if Toast’s ‘If xx Was My Girlfriend’ might have been written by Blake Lively herself. All the mason jar references were pretty funny, though.

–Salma Hayek says “I think [big movie studios] don’t want me, but I don’t really care.” Does that explain the Everly trailer?

-Everyone’s paying close attention to the Fantastic Four box office results this weekend because of the terrible reviews and the surprisingly complicated history of adapting it. It didn’t help that the director tweeted (and then quickly deleted) a comment last night implying that Fox ruined the movie.

–Jennifer Aniston managed to convince Sia to perform “Chandelier” at her wedding. Also, she brought Courteney Cox, Chelsea Handler and Jason Bateman on her honeymoon, which isn’t weird at all.

-Uh oh. Sean Penn is dating a Canadian now.

-The Broad City lip sync battle is here, and it’s spectacular.

-Here’s an excerpt from Mindy Kaling’s new book. She’s talking about the Q&A that I went to!! Fine, just take my money now.

-I really liked While We’re Young — enough that it made me wonder if I had been wrong about Noah Baumbach movies all this time. The New Mistress America trailer re-confirms my original assumptions.

–Elle Fanning struggles for family acceptance as a transgender teen in the About Ray trailer.
