Taylor Swift Keeps Carrying Cats, For Some Reason

Taylor Swift is taking her twee-nees to a whole new level: she’s now accessorizing with cats. Your move, Zooey Deschanel.

-The first official casting notice about True Detective season two has arrived (as expected, Colin Farrell and Vince Vaughn will star), but they still haven’t announced the female lead(s). Word is they’re aiming high — if they can’t get Rachel McAdamsKeira Knightley is reportedly next on their list.

-Here’s more photographic evidence of Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin sharing the same general airspace.

Aaron Paul and Jamie Dornan are teaming up for a new movie. Weirdly, that is how a LOT of my dreams start…

Courteney Cox told Jimmy Kimmel last night that she got engaged at Jennifer Aniston’s house.

-Meanwhile, Courteney says she’s still bummed that her Friends haircut never took off like The Rachel.

-E!Online tweeted that self-tanner is Ariana Grande’s biggest problem right now. Um, probs not.

-The Arrow season two blooper reel is really just a lot of people falling down.

Sarah Silverman squashed rumours that she’s engaged to Michael Sheen by calling marriage “barbaric.” Soooo….not engaged, then?

-Ruh roh. Despite it being a killer ep, the season premiere of Sleepy Hollow didn’t do very well (though this show does huge in DVR/live-plus-seven ratings). Gotham as its broody, too serious lead-in probably didn’t help.

Ed Sheeran killed those rumours that he’s fighting with One Direction’s Niall Horan over a girl — with lots of bro kisses.

-Another day, another Robert Pattinson and FKA Twigs sighting.

-A 4Chan user is threatening to post leaked photos of Emma Watson following her speech on feminism because the world is terrible.

-Speaking of feminists, Joseph Gordon-Levitt wants you to know he still is one.

Michael K. Williams is loving all the Marvel movie rumors surrounding him, while Idris Elba is not.

-Shocking report: post-wedding Brangelina is just as attractive as pre-wedding Brangelina.

-Remember that one time, when Vanilla Ice went ape-shit with a bat on the set of MTV and freaked out Jon Stewart, Denis Leary, Chris Kattan and Janeane Garofalo? (Also, how did we fail to appreciate a time when those four were co-hosting MTV shows together?)

Steven Soderbergh remade Raiders of the Lost Ark without color or sound so that you focus only on the staging — and it’s still great.

-Just when you thought Leonardo DiCaprio couldn’t get any more insufferable, he grabs a mic and starts rapping.

-Here’s a clip of Emma Thompson and she’s singing. What more do you need to know?

-An intruder broke into Keanu Reeves‘ house and woke him up — and he calmly approached her and talked to her until the cops arrived ’cause he’s the goddamn coolest.

-The new Kingsman: The Secret Service trailer is heavy on the Colin Firth ass-kicking.

-Everything you think you know about True Detective Season 2 is wrong.

-I’m not filled with loathing and disgust when looking upon Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s wedding photos. Clearly, I’m coming down with something.

-Meanwhile, they’re staying at Castlemartyr Resort for their honeymoon. As if the Irish haven’t suffered enough…

-More things you didn’t want to know about Kimye: Kylie Jenner and Jaden Smith were spotted making out at the wedding.

Bill Murray crashed a bachelor party and gave an awesome speech about relationships:  “Buy a plane ticket for the two of you to travel all around the world and go to places that are hard to go to and hard to get out of, and if when you come back to JFK, when you land in JFK and you’re still in love with that person, get married at the airport.”

Seth Rogen may have a point about the Washington Post critic making a link between his new movie and the USCB shootings, but I still hate the way he responded.

-I keep hearing people raving about this show In the Flesh. Might have to give it a whirl.

Jessica Simpson‘s bikini pic on Instagram might be the most awkward of all awkward poses.

-Being friends with Miranda Kerr means you get a lot of free clothes. You’re probably plagued by insecurity and low self-esteem too, but FREE CLOTHES!

-This photo of Deryck Whibley is shockingly sad — but he’s getting better.

Lindsay Lohan got kicked off a yacht in Cannes because karma.

-Speaking of yacht life, Justin Bieber flirted with a model after hanging out on a yacht with Gigi Hadid.

Kate Middleton‘s bare butt was exposed during a Marilyn Monroe moment — and a German paper published a photo of it because the world is gross.

Scarlett Johansson might play Dolly Parton? God help us all.

Channing Tatum is so awesome, he can even make Shia LaBeouf sound like a cool guy.

-Is George Clooney having a Downton Abbey wedding? I refuse to believe this. Je refuse!

-The Before You Know It trailer gave me a lot of feels.

 

Robin Thicke and Paula Patton Split

Robin Thicke is now free to be “twerked upon” as much as he wants. After months of speculation and grossness, he and Paula Patton have announced their separation.

Oprah took her very first selfie and Idris Elba was in it, proving she’s totally got this internet thing down pat.

Alec Baldwin penned an epic rant in New York magazine titled “Good-bye, Public Life.” (It should have been titled “Goodbye, Any Pretense of Not Being an Asshole”.) He actually raises some good points, but then buries them in brattiness and bigotry. He claims he’s not a homophobe and realizes that he needs to be more careful with his word choice, and then he casually drops the word “tranny” like it’s NBD. He tries to make Shia LaBeouf seem like an entitled ass (which, no doubt, he is), but then he lets it slip that Shia showed up to work knowing all of his lines, while “I, however, do not learn my lines in advance.” Um, what? Isn’t that your job? And if you really want to walk away from the spotlight of public life, isn’t there a better way than penning a click-baity, troll-y cover story? Like maybe…just walking away?

Jessica Biel was photographed looking very non-pregnant, for those of you at home keeping score. She’s also scheduled to present at the Oscars on Sunday.

-The full list of Oscar presenters have been announced, and Biel isn’t the only head-scratcher. Zac Efron? Kate Hudson?

-Meanwhile, Jimmy Kimmel announced all the guests scheduled to appear on his post-Oscars show, and it sounds like it’s going to be stacked.

-So pretty much no one in America has seen this year’s best picture nominees. Captain Phillips was the most-watched one, and that was only seen by 15% of those polled.

Liam Neeson says Bono was really nice to his kids when Natasha Richardson died.

-Did the prospect of random drug testing cause Justin Bieber to reject a plea deal in his Miami Beach DUI case?

-But look, he’s recording a song with his mommy! That makes everything all better, right?

Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint had a hairy Harry Potter reunion.

-It looks like Josh Brolin‘s assistant has been upgraded to his girlfriend.

Anna Kendrick (wearing a very cute romper — words I rarely put together) helped pal Miles Teller celebrate his birthday in Vegas.

-Aw nuts. Harold Ramis has died. Let’s all raise a glass of ectoplasm and listen to “I’ve Got You, Babe” on repeat.

-I’m glad to see Bill Murray put out a statement about Ramis. The pair reportedly hadn’t spoken since a falling out on the set of Groundhog Day.

-This is admirable: Ukrainian born actress Milla Jovovich is raising money to help the victims of violence in Kiev.

January Jones shared a photo of her 9-year-old self on Instagram and it made me almost like her.

-When I heard this weekend that NBC was planning to bring back Heroes, I assumed it was a joke. How is it not a joke?!

-In other NBC news, Jennifer Lopez is coming back to TV as a single mother cop. Let’s hope it’s more Out of Sight and less Gigli.

Julianne Moore says she does her own housework, so there.

-A girl from Pretty Little Liars is engaged to a guy from Suits. Please don’t make me learn their names.

-Oopsie! Avatar star Sam Worthington was arrested in NYC after allegedly punching a photographer. It sounds like the paparazzo first kicked Sam’s girlfriend in the shins, though.

-Warner Brothers seems to realize that Veronica Mars will probably do better on VOD than at the box office, so they’re making the film available as a digital download and rental the same day it opens in theatres. That pretty much never happens.

-Scandal returns on Thursday. Celebrate by staring a Kerry Washington’s belly bump.

-Speaking of Kerry‘s belly bump, she had a baby shower at Shonda Rhimes‘ house.

Amanda Seyfried has landed the role of the female lead in Ted 2.

-Meanwhile Mila Kunis, who was in the first Ted movie, is busy getting old-timey in her new ad for Jim Bean.

David O. Russell says he accidentally spoiled Anna Karenina for Jennifer Lawrence. I did the exact same thing once to a coworker. Who knew 140-year-old classics need to come with spoiler warnings?

Seth Meyers‘ Late Night hosting gig starts tonight.

-I’ve mentioned before how I just don’t buy the “True Detective is the best show ever!” mantra that’s floating around (I was momentarily onboard last week and then I saw the latest episode and have jumped back off the train). However, I’m LOVING all the thoughtful analysis being written about the show’s depiction of women. The New Yorker’s Emily Nussbaum called it out in an article today, which was posted at pretty much the exact time as Slate’s Willa Paskin’s piece about how the show’s objectification is intentional. And that led to a bunch of other smart TV critics throwing in their (very eloquent) two cents, either defending the show, critiquing it, or pleading with us all to hold our judgment until the season finale airs in a few weeks. This might be the first time I’m more entertained by reading about a show than actually watching it.

-The first full trailer for Mike Judge’s Silicon Valley on HBO has landed.
