The Hope Is Out There: The X Files May Return

-The X Files reboot continues to inch closer to reality. The biggest holdup seems to be Gillian Anderson’s schedule, but seeing as she was the one who started #XFiles2015, I think she’ll figure out a way to make it work.

-Speaking of Gillian Anderson, I really liked this review of season 2 of The Fall as a dark, methodical deconstruction of women in crime shows. I have a bunch of episodes on my DVR but have yet to psych myself up enough to watch it.

-In other TV shows about women kicking ass, here’s a good take on what Agent Carter gets right that Agents of Shield didn’t.

-On the Graham Norton Show, Meryl Streep kissed Mark Ruffalo while James McAvoy watched. Which means she’s *literally* living my dream!

-Also on the Graham Norton Show, Jessie J demonstrated how she can sing “Bang Bang” with her mouth closed.

-Finally, someone asked Terrence Howard about those allegations of violence against women. I don’t care that Empire someone managed a ratings increase with its second episode and is a certified hit; I just can’t with him.

-Stalker costars Dylan McDermott and Maggie Q have been engaged for months? Huh.

-Despite it’s crazy box office take, Seth Rogen was not super impressed with American Sniper.

-Buffy’s Anthony Stewart Head continues to be is the goddamn best.

-It’s probably way too early for me to be this excited about Pitch Perfect 2, right?

–Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin were spotted on a candlelit dinner date, so that’s still a thing that we need to keep pretending isn’t really happening.

-In news that should surprise no one, James Franco is super infatuated with fellow artsy-fart Lana Del Rey.

-The next time Lena Dunham has an image problem, it’ll be handled Olivia Pope-stylez.

–Jennifer Aniston says she’s happy to be the “number one snubbed” by the Oscar nominations. Not to kick her while she’s down, but I’m pretty sure that honour goes to Jake Gyllenhaal.

-She also talked about grabbing Kate Hudson’s ass at the Golden Globes. “It’s such an irresistible tush.”

-Parenthood’s final episode will include a flash-forward. Oh god, I’m already crying. This is going to be like Six Feet Under all over again.

-Well, at least Justin Bieber had a sense of humour about SNL’s parody of his underwear ads.

-Speaking of SNL, this weekend’s host Kevin Hart talked about Bill Cosby and how Sony apologized for that “whore” comment in an interview with THR.

-In other Kevin Hart news, here’s the latest trailer for Get Hard.

Gwyneth Paltrow Talks About Marrying a “Too Young” Chris Martin

-With the exception of the part where she claims she’s a self-made woman who “earned everything herself” and didn’t benefit from having famous parents, Gwyneth Paltrow actually comes off rather well in her new Harper’s Bazaar cover story.

-It happens every year; we always lose a famous person over the holiday break. This time, the sad honour goes to Edward Herrmann, best known as Richard Gilmore.

-There are lots of ugly rumours already flying about Jeremy Renner‘s divorce — which dovetail pretty well with the rumours that were circulating well before it.

-I have a really hard time disassociating celebrities’ work from bad behaviour in their personal lives. It’s why I can’t watch Sean Penn on the big screen without remembering that he once hit Madonna with a baseball bat, why I’ll never, ever buy Chris Brown‘s music, and how every time I see Terrence Howard I can’t help but think of his terrible opinions about women. So I’m glad someone pointed out that when Katherine Heigl was promoting her show, the press kept asking about her being “difficult,” but Howard is currently promoting Empire and no one is quizzing him about his violent past.

–Macklemore sat down with a radio station for a frank discussion about white rappers and the appropriation of hip-hop, and it was actually pretty great.

–Mariah Carey reportedly fell asleep in her car on the way to a nail appointment and her assistants were too afraid to wake her. Sounds about right.

-EW subscribers are getting a special edition of the Parks and Recreation cover and the placement of Jerry/Gary/Terry is beyond perfect.

-Is John Mayer trying to send us secret messages through Instagram, or is he just really terrible at Photoshop?

-Oh goodie. Now there’s an interview with a reporter who interviewed a witness who refused to be interviewed for a podcast.

-Oh for crying out loud. The Intercept says they’re now trying to interview more people who refused to appear on Serial.

-Meanwhile, will Jay‘s new interview help Adnan’s case?

–Liam Neeson says he gets letters from stupid Americans who are afraid to travel to
Europe for fear of being taken like in, um, Taken.

–Kate Hudson tried to Facetime Justin Timberlake — but he was having none of it.

-Here’s the second trailer for Cinderella. I really don’t think we need another version of this story, but the pull of Cate Blanchett and Helena Bonham Carter is strong.
