Gwyneth Paltrow: Hated But Beautiful

gwyneth-paltrow-most-beautiful-people

-The one good thing about Gwyneth Paltrow being named People’s Most Beautiful Woman? Jezebel linked to my silly little Tumblr in their story about it! I can die happy now.

Anne Hathaway is clearly upset that Gwyneth beat her in that recent Most Hated Celebrity poll, but this should give her an edge for next year: she’s reportedly considering her first Broadway role. [Update: her rep’s denied it. Keep trying, Annie! You’re almost there!]

Rihanna Instagrammed (then quickly deleted) a topless pic, and now she’s insisting it wasn’t of her. Not that she’s suddenly shy on social media; she followed it up by tweeting about  Katy Perry spanking her.

-Speaking of Katy, she filed a $6.5 million counterclaim against Good Hair Day, saying they continued to use her name and image after dropping her endorsement deal.

-If you haven’t seen Tilda Swinton lead an audience dance-along to Barry White at last weekend’s Ebertfest, stop everything and watch it now. It will make you love life.

SNL‘s Kate McKinnon imitated Ellen on today’s Ellen and it was glorious.

-As someone who’s supported two Kickstarter campaigns in the past month, I clearly believe it can be an inventive way to get quality pop culture made outside the traditional Hollywood system, but even I’m a little wary of Zach Braff’s new donation plea. Though I might be in the minority; this afternoon he was raising roughly $1,500 every minute.

Justin Bieber got two new, terrible tattoos: a tiger and an angel. But that’s still not as bad as the look he was sporting earlier today. What. Is. Happening.

-Oh, and Justin‘s manager says he has 240 unrecorded songs in his journal, so we all have that to look forward to…

-Meanwhile, Matthew McConaughey approves of Justin‘s shirtless style.

-Vulture posted some very cute photos from the Time 100 gala, proving that Amy Poehler and Lena Dunham were the life of the party.

-As American Idol’s ratings continue to bottom out, The Hollywood Reporter reveals that producers recently tried to replace Mariah Carey with ex-judge Jennifer Lopez. How does the public not love Mariah? Haven’t they seen her pyjama pics?!

-Showtime has released a new clip from the Dexter season premiere. Deb is drinking in the middle of a grocery store, which can’t be a good sign.

-I am really not sold on Shailene Woodley as the lead in The Fault in our Stars, but I don’t mind her as the lead in Divergent (especially after seeing this pic.)

This story about a young girl who has taken thousands of photos with celebrities is kind of disturbing…especially when you get to the part when she starts dating the kid from Two and a Half Men.

-Let’s hope Greetings from Tim Buckley is a hit. Penn Badgley says he has no plans to return to television. “Nothing could drag me back.”

-Odd couple Mary-Kate Olsen and Olivier Sarkozy continue to wig us out with their PDA.

Tony and Pepper share a sweet moment in this new clip from Iron Man 3. I’m actually starting to look forward to this thing!

Jason Segel continues to be the luckiest overgrown child in Hollywood. His children’s book just got picked up by Random House.

Sharon Osbourne says she was devastated to learn the extent of husband Ozzy‘s substance abuse.

Vincent Kartheiser really, really doesn’t like the Huffington Post.

Julie Delpy has been hitting the promo circuit hard for Before Midnight and she’s worn long-sleeved black dresses to four out of her last five appearances. The woman knows what works on her! She also knows how to shut down an obnoxious audience member.

-Here’s the new XX song from The Great Gatsby soundtrack. Love!

-A new Japanese trailer for The Wolverine offers a longer glimpse at the action sequences.

Wedding Crashers costars Rachel McAdams and Bradley Cooper were spotted grabbing lunch together, but they’re sticking to the “just friends” story.

-This could be…interesting. Channing Tatum and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are rumoured to be in a new Guys and Dolls movie.

Nicole Kidman, Ang Lee, Lynne Ramsay and Christoph Waltz will be on this year’s Cannes jury.

-The more I see of Emma Watson in Bling Ring footage, the more I can’t wait to see this movie. She nails the Valley Girl talk!

George Clooney and Matt Damon’s Snowball Fight

George Clooney and Matt Damon had a snowball fight and…oops, my ovaries just exploded.

-I kind of love that Will Smith just admitted the reason he dropped out of Django Unchained was not actually “scheduling conflicts” but because he wasn’t playing the lead. If only all actors could be so ego-honest.

Liam Hemsworth was spotted at Miley Cyrus’ house. WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?!? Oh wait. I don’t care. Carry on.

Aaron Paul just won the internet by Instagramming an adorable photo of him as a little kid.

David Beckham lifted up his shirt to show off his tattoo in China.  This is how peace treaties should start.

-I really enjoyed this “Let’s Have a TV Baby” skit. This was pretty much my thought process before I finally started watching The Wire, because I was sure it was going to consume my life (though, oddly, it hasn’t yet. I’m on season 2 and it’s still a bit of a slog. Am I broken?!)

-This is a bit long, but NY Magazine‘s feature on what went down behind the scenes at the Today Show during the Ann Curry debacle is a juicy read.

-Someone sent Jared Leto an ear in the mail. It doesn’t surprise me. I saw his doc at TIFF last year and the fandom in that theatre was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. (And I like some pretty geeky shit!)

-Apparently, this is what Madonna looks like now.

-Speaking of celebrity candids, everyone’s captioning these photos as “Emma Stone without makeup.” Um, she’s clearly wearing a bit of lipstick and maybe even some mascara, but she doesn’t look like a drag queen so I guess that makes it news in Hollywood.

Dennis Quaid and his wife have changed their mind about getting divorced…again. Maybe next time they should just crack open a bottle of wine and avoid the legal fees.

-I’m not sure Canada needs its own version of The View, but yay for Lainey getting a talk show gig!

Lindsay Lohan‘s latest film, directed by the ShamWow guy (no, really!), is a box office disaster, earning a measly $625 per theatre.

Lindsay has reportedly worked it out so that she doesn’t have to start rehab until after Coachella. Aw crap. Is it too late to sell my tickets?

-Meanwhile, she was spotted enjoying some PDA with her new boyfriend in a bar (of course).

-CBC is streaming the new Charles Bradley album. (His first CD made Rolling Stone‘s top 50 list in 2011.) It’s possible that I listened to “Let Love Stand a Chance” a lot today. Like, a lot.

-I’m also digging Sia’s cover of the Kinks‘ “I Go To Sleep.”

-Just as we were all starting to wonder if there were any good men left, this happened.

Details magazine delved deeper into Dana Martin’s plot to kill Justin Bieber — and revealed that he still wants to finish the job.

-Want to watch Tilda Swinton sleep in a glass box? Now you can! My coworker stumbled upon it this weekend — as did Sarah Jessica Parker. (Unfortunately, I think Marina Abramović has ruined me for weird performance art. Did you see this video of her and her ex-boyfriend? Kills me every time…)

Lena Dunham wrote a really sappy essay about her dog, if you’re into that sort of thing.

Lena also directed a short entitled “Best Friends” (narrated by Girls‘ star Adam Driver!) for Rachel Antonoff’s Fall 2013 line. It’s basically a four-minute Noah Baumbach film. Or maybe Wes Anderson (who just made his own fashion films for Prada).

-I enjoyed this video of Ian Somerhalder playing dress-up with a cardboard cutout of Paul Wesley way too much.

-Speaking of great vids, there’s a reason this one-man acapella cover of “Thriller” is blowing up today. Amazingness!

The Lizzie Bennet Diaries Kickstarter has almost hit $300k in just a couple of days (its goal was only $60k in 30 days). This ones a lot less controversial than the Veronica Mars campaign — these funds will go to creating two new series, as well as paying royalties for a cast an crew that haven’t really been paid (at least not well).

-Speaking of Kickstarter campaigns, I really liked the discussion during this NPR podcast about how the Veronica Mars campaign has led to a bit of fan entitlement. If/when supporters think they should have say in the plot, this thing goes off the rails.

-Meanwhile, Kristen Bell’s reaction video to the campaign was very cute.

Gwyneth Paltrow is reportedly opening a blowdry bar.

-The paparazzi caught Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner in some adorable family photos — just as a nasty tabloid report surfaced. I’m sure that was a total coincidence, though.

-Sweet! Seth Green is coming back to (live-action) TV. He’ll star in Seth MacFarlane’s new show.

Entertainment Weekly posted some pretty great Vines of stars getting slimed at this weekend’s Kids’ Choice Awards. There’s no way Sandra Bullock didn’t get a whole bunch of green stuff up her nose in that one shot. Gross.

Kristen Stewart and Katy Perry continued their BFF tour at the show. (KStew was spotted at a corner store with Robert Pattinson earlier that weekend, but she hit the red carpet solo.)

-Meanwhile, I love that Johnny Depp showed up. He almost always makes an appearance at the big fan-voted awards, which is great.

-A new, less-angsty trailer for Iron Man 3 debuted during the Kids’ Choice Awards this weekend.

-We also got a new trailer for World War Z, which focuses more on Brad Pitt and his family instead of just a wall of zombies.
