Chris Evans’ Puppy Pushups

John Krasinski challenged Chris Evans and Miles Teller (ugh) to the #22PushUpChallenge, and Chris’ response features the most adorable dog distraction ever!

-You know what’s nuts? After that totally gross video that came out on Friday of Johnny Depp hurling a wine glass at Amber Heard, I still saw people on Twitter cape for him. I don’t get it. Let’s see what they say now that TMZ is reporting he once accidentally cut off the tip of his finger while fighting with her, then wrote on the wall in blood “Billy Bob” – the name of the actor he was accusing her of cheating on him with. Charming.

-Also, I appreciated this article on how Heard and Lindsay Lohan suffer from being imperfect victims.

Justin Bieber has threatened to make his Instagram private if commenters don’t stop attacking his new lady, Sofia Richie (who is Lionel Richie‘s daughter. You know who I found out this weekend is NOT actually Lionel Richie’s daughter? Nicole Richie. #MindBlown)

Justin‘s pleas for civility somehow led to a pissing contest between him and Selena Gomez, with her insinuating he cheated — and him shooting back with “oh I forgot about you and Zayn?” Not surprisingly, their fans spent the weekend having meltdowns.

Thomas Gibson is reporting mulling a lawsuit over his Criminal Minds firing. I guess that explains why his statement didn’t include an apology.

-Meanwhile, his ex-costar Shemar Moore is subtweeting him. (Also, I’m now going to end every Instagram video with “church is over.”)

Jared Padalecki got bad service from a waitress — so he posted a photo of her face to his 3M followers. And then he defended the post by comparing people who say he shouldn’t complain to people who say he shouldn’t be depressed. Nope, nope, all the nopes. You don’t get to play any of those cards, Dean.

This is a great read about how Mr Robot isn’t getting the critical reception this summer of Netflix shows like Stranger Things and The Get Down, but at least it’s trying something completely different.

-Speaking of Stranger Things, this interview/lovefest between Aaron Paul and the little girl who plays Eleven is all kinds of adorable. And then his wife jumps on the phone so she can fangirl too? Kill me now.

-Bad word of mouth resulted in a huge Batman V Superman-like box office drop in Suicide Squad’s second weekend. So why is WB still heavily investing in Zack Snyder’s vision of the DCEU?

-Lowly movie studio employees are rising up. First we got last week’s open letter to the WB and now the comments section of an interview with the directors of Sausage Party was overrun with anonymous sources claiming animators were reportedly forced to work for free and generally treated like poo. (I saw the film over the weekend. I thought it was just meh.)

Tom Hiddleston is blaming the deluge of photos of him with Taylor Swift on the fact that “we all live in a world where every phone has a camera.” Sure, but do we also all live in a world where everyone has long-lensed professional cameras on remote beaches?

The Nightly Show With Larry Wilmore was canceled today, which sucks because they’re not even going to get to cover the election. It’s not exactly surprising giving its lack of ratings and buzz.  Wilmore released a statement about “The Unblackening” of the Comedy Network.

-This is weak sauce: Adele says she was approached by the Super Bowl to do the next halftime show and declined, so the NFL and Pepsi ran to Billboard with a statement about how there was no “formal” offer. Yeah. Because she declined.

Bella Thorne and Gregg Sulkin split after more than a year together. I have no idea who either of these people are, but my Twitter timeline is devastated. Sorry?

-Congrats to Kevin Hart, who married longtime girlfriend Eniko Parrish on Saturday.

Natalie Portman gushing about French women sounds like me every time I visit France.

-Is it weird that these photos make me want to party with Liam Hemsworth and Miley Cyrus?

-This is such a good look at Nate Parker’s problematic past and how that may (or should?) change our view of Birth of a Nation.

Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard are oh so pretty in the Allied trailer.

-The untold story of NASA’s genius black women gets the spotlight in the Hidden Figures trailer, starring Taraji P. Henson.

Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum Celebrate Step Up’s Anniversary

Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum recreated their Step Up dance and I love them so much.

-The Making a Murderer case is back in the headlines, just in time for season 2. Brendan Dassey‘s conviction was just overturned by a federal judge and he could be out of prison in 90 days. This is HUGE.

Thomas Gibson has been officially fired from Criminal Minds after kicking a writer-producer. He released a statement, but didn’t address the incident.  Good luck finding work now, buddy.

-This open letter to Zack Snyder & the Warner Bros CEO from a former employee is a crazy good read. Quality dragging. (“It’s not just DC movies, it’s your whole slate. Jupiter Ascending. Get Hard. Hot Pursuit. Max. Vacation. Pan. Point Break. Fucking PAN, you jerk. People lost their jobs and you decided Pan was a good idea.”)

-Joel Kinnaman is glad Suicide Squad’s bad reviews lowered expectations. Well…yes. Of course he is.

-How come no one told me Kevin Hart has a rap alter ego named Chocolate Droppa?!?

-I’m not sure it helps Vin Diesel‘s case to have Tyrese in his corner.

Renée Zellweger asked people to stop talking about her face, so people just started talking about it more. It didn’t help that Hugh Grant didn’t recognize her on Watch What Happens Live.

-Holy crap. There’s a rumour that Joss Whedon will direct the Flash/Supergirl musical crossover and I’m crossing all my fingers and toes that it’s real. I still quote his Buffy musical on a weekly basis.
Katy Perry has reportedly recorded a song called “She’s So Creepy.” Your turn, Tay-Tay.

Miles Teller is sick of all the comments about his newly blond hair, saying “it nauseates me.” Being constantly critiqued for your physical appearance? Gee, that’s never happened to anyone else in Hollywood. Stay strong, you brave soldier.

Adrian Grenier having a big dick explains a lot, actually.

-Everything I’m hearing about Get Down is that it suffers from the Netflix bloat and should have been edited more. But on the plus side, Jaden Smith wore this killer jacket at its premiere.

-Find a guy who talks about you like Chris Pine talks about Ben Foster.

Mel Gibson has been granted permission to continue to withhold settlement payments to ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva over a breach of confidentiality after her 2010 Howard Stern interview. Charming. And just in time for his comeback launch.

-A new Rogue One trailer debuted last night during NBC’s Olympics coverage and revealed a whole lot more details.

 

Kendall Jenner Nabs Sept Issue of Vogue

-I had a lot of guesses about who was going to land the cover of September Vogue. Kendall effing Jenner was not at the top of my list.

-Also serving up cover: Gina Rodriguez on Health.

-In a new interviewAmy Schumer talks about Twitter hate and maintaining her confidence. “Just spend shorter amounts of time thinking you’re the ugliest person in the world.”

Hugh Jackman posted a photo of him looking really old, and news outlets didn’t get that he was wearing makeup for a movie.

-What the hell? Criminal Minds’ star Thomas Gibson was suspended after kicking a writer-producer. This is the second time he’s had a physical altercation with a producer on this set. Man, the Dharma & Greg folks have not aged well.

-More stories about how Vin Diesel isn’t exactly a gem continue to surface.

-This article about what it means to be a difficult actor versus a difficult actress is worth your time.

-Speaking of difficult actors, here’s an interesting read on how Jared Leto has ruined method acting. It’s “become more about ego and marketing than good performances.” (On the plus side, maybe actors will stop talking about their “craft” and “process” in interviews.)

Leslie. Jones. Has. Landed. In. Rio.

-The producers of the all-female Oceans Eleven reboot are reportedly worried about a Ghostbusters-type backlash. Funny how this has been the summer of sequel flops and no one’s hand-wringing about those.

-The staff of a Toronto hospital staff sang ‘Courage’ in a tribute to Gord Downie. No, YOU’RE crying!

-Us Weekly claims that Taylor Kinney is already trying to crawl back to Lady Gaga.

-When Adele invited a fan up on stage with her, she had no idea that fan was a Grammy-nominated artist.

Hugh Grant has a pretty laid back attitude about being fat-shamed recently by British tabloids: “They weren’t wrong. I looked shocking. It was awful.”

-Meanwhile, Hugh and Meryl Streep participated in a rather charming AMA on Reddit.

Jonah Hill says he doubts the 23 Jump Street-Men in Black crossover movie will get made. Prayer works!

Jared Padalecki wants you all to know that he was not actually the Trump Tower climber.

-I tend to not like white dresses but Amal Clooney‘s flapper-inspired one is working for her.

-Days after being fired from SNL, Taran Killam and Jay Pharoah have both landed new leading man gigs.

-This is a long but great read on TV’s current drama slump. “An increasing number of not-great dramas with a prestige-y sheen are piling onto a field that was already standing-room only.”

-The fact that Emmy season means Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys are now doing a bunch of joint interviews/photo shoots makes me giddy.

-The TCAs saved my favourite network for last. Lots of goodies from The CW dropped today, including that a character on one of the superhero shows will come outDolph Lundgren will star as Arrow’s villain during their last year of flashbacks, and The Flash and Supergirl are planning a musical crossover that may include Arrow and Legends cast members. Amell has already bowed out, but if we can get a song between Victor Garber, Jesse L Martin, John Barrowman and the Glee alums, I’ll be happy. Remember when Grant Gustin did “Smooth Criminal” and made us all forget that we were supposed to hate his character?

Rachel Weisz is suffering an identity crisis in the Complete Unknown trailer.
