Netflix Confirms Gilmore Girls’ Revival with Original Cast

-Netflix just confirmed that they’re going ahead with the Gilmore Girls reboot and they’ve locked down pretty much all of the original cast. Woot! And now we all stare pointedly at Melissa McCarthy…
–Tyra Banks is a new mom! That kid’s going to be smizing in no time…

–Vulture’s article on the rise and fall of Relativity’s head honcho is full of wonderful insidery tidbits, like how he tried to impress actresses — including buying a $65,000 edition of The Diary of Anne Frank for Natalie Portman, and leasing a horse for Kate Bosworth.

–Diane Kruger, what are you trying to tell us?!?

-Random: Jack Black revealed that he spends every Easter with Angelina Jolie.

-ABC ordered a new Shonda Rhimes comedy starring Scott Foley and Greg Grunberg. It’s a Felicity reunion!

–Colin Trevorrow wants to shoot Star Wars: Episode 9 in outer space. Okaaaaayyyyy….

-Me thinks you doth protest too much, Yeezus.

-Meanwhile, Kanye West is set to be the musical guest on SNL the night Melissa McCarthy hosts.

-Tidal says a system error was the reason behind Rihanna’s album leak, so simmer down, conspiracy theorists.

-Whatever happened, RiRi handled it like a pro.

-Guys, poor Dakota Johnson is very sensitive. “I feel so much all the time that it’s exhausting.”  Aww muffin.

-Orange Is the New Black’s Taryn Manning is denying those accusations that she attacked a makeup artist back in Nov.

-Is E!’s new scripted series a thinly veiled Tom Cruise exposé?  Gimmie gimmie gimmie!

–Coldplay just dropped a new music video starring Beyoncé, as you do.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Janet Jackson is Life!

–Joseph Gordon-Levitt is killing it this week. His lip-sync of “Rhythm Nation” is a beautiful thing. He also showed off his drumming skills.

-In other late-night antics, Bryan Cranston sang about mortgages and credit scores in his grown man boy band on James Cordon’s show.

-Oof. I’m guessing Jimmy Fallon’s Esquire cover story interview was conducted before all the gossip surfaced. I assume NBC PR isn’t thrilled with his opening anecdote.

-Fox is going to stop reporting overnight ratings — which is a bold move. Personally, I still think they’re important for indicating people’s viewing priorities, but whatever.

-The trailer for Shameless season 6 is here. As much as I liked the last season I was going to drop this one because #peakTV, but then in the promo Dylan McDermott takes off a pair of panties with his teeth and goddamit I’m back in!

-Speaking of peak TV, I was following a Twitter convo between TV critics about all the shows they have to catch up on before compiling their year-end ‘best of’ lists, and one of them put it all in a Google doc. I think I watch too much TV, but I haven’t seen half of these.

-People is confirming that Kate Beckinsale has separated from her husband Len Wiseman.

–Tyra Banks quit her own daytime talk show after just two months.

-When the NYT’s Maureen Dowd started reporting on sexism in Hollywood, an executive dismissively told her she should “call some chicks.” So she did, and the result is a pretty amazing article.

–Jenny McCarthy should not be allowed to publicly discuss any medical issue ever again, k?

-Go to this site, type in the password “XPhiles” and enjoy the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it spoilers. I totally blocked out the fact that Mulder and Scully have a son named William.

–Melissa McCarthy plays Kristen Bell’s worst nightmare in the new trailer for The Boss.

–Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed got married this weekend. (I don’t understand the scale of this photo! They look so tiny compared to the guests in the background. Is there some vampire reflection juju at play here?!)

-I never thought I’d say it, but I’m kind of proud of Kanye West right now…

-Sesame Street proves The Avengers are all basically useless in this new parody.

-Ha. I love that Joss Whedon is now out of the Marvel machine and just blowing it all up. He says Marvel was pissed when Agents of SHIELD was announced, and that the TV show isn’t connected to the movie universe. Well, I guess it’s easier for me to ignore that show if it’s not even canon.

-Meanwhile, Marvel’s publicity team was quick to be all “slow your roll, son.”

–Chris Evans shaved off his sexy beard and the Internet has no chill.

-Between what happened on the latest episodes of Grey’s Anatomy and The Good Wife, this article wondering whether TV fans have rights is super relevant right now. (They do have rights — the right to stop watching any show that pisses them off. That’s about it. We may feel entitled to it because of the amount of time we invest in them, but we’re really not. At all.).

-Also, Ellen Pompeo broke her silence about Patrick Dempsey. Weirdly, she said absolutely nothing about the actor, just how her character will react. The plot thickens!

-Speaking of sudden departures, I haven’t watched last night’s Good Wife yet but the reviews about a certain someone’s exit haven’t been kind. “Clumsy” was the word that I kept seeing on Twitter last night, mostly due to all the acrobatics the writers needed to perform to separate Julia Margulies and Archie Panjabi. Seriously, what happened between those two? I’ve seen divorced costars share scenes with less drama.

–Anna Kendrick and Aubrey Plaza in the same movie? All the yeses!

-Also promising: Jenny Slate and Ari Graynor playing BFFs in the same TV show.

-God bless Tyra Banks for wearing this to the Daytime Emmys.

-This story about Justin Bieber was cute when I thought he’d accepted a promposal. But he just crashed some poor school’s prom? Much less cute.

–Jared Leto goes into full terrifying mode as the Joker.

-Speaking of terrifying, allow this photo to crush all your Ryan Reynolds fantasies.

-Goddammit, Amy Schumer continues to be the best!

-Have mercy! Lifetime is jumping on the current Full House mania by announcing a tell-all movie. Just as long as it involves a subplot about Dave Coulier being the subject of Alanis Morissette‘s “You Outta Know.” Otherwise, it shouldn’t exist.

-Not that I advocate celebrities lying to us (more) or anything, but I would have been OK with Brad Pitt making up a cooler story about how he got a black eye.

–Colin Farrell says he hasn’t dated in four years. Maybe everyone read the book his ex wrote about him?

-Key & Peele’s Obama Anger Translator went to the White House press dinner, and it was awesome.

-Props to Michael Strahan for getting Bell Biv DeVoe to reunite for his “Poison” rendition on Lip Sync Battle.

-After Locke, I’ve pretty much vowed to watch any movie that features Tom Hardy behind the wheel, so I’m totally down with this London Road trailer. Also, Olivia Colman! And singing!
