George and Amal Clooney Are Having Twins

-Sweet baby jesus! Those rumours about Amal Clooney having twins actually turned out to be true! I can barely wrap by head around this. If someone had told me five years ago that George Clooney (who has spoken eloquently and passionately about not wanted kids in the past) would now be married and facing double diaper duty, I would have laughed in their face — and then tried to sell them a bridge. Also in “I can’t believe this is happening” news: Julie Chen of the The Talk broke the story and says the twins are due in June! What is life?!

-In other baby news from pretty people, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Jason Statham are expecting.

–Scarlett Johansson is getting flak for her Marie Claire interview, in which she justifies her Ghost in the Shell casting by saying “I certainly would never presume to play another race of a person” but that “having a franchise with a female protagonist driving it is such a rare opportunity.” Hmmm. Not exactly intersectional feminism.

-It looks like Ben Affleck’s huge phoenix tattoo on his back is real, not fake as he claimed. Bless his heart.

-Meanwhile, Ben‘s Batman movie may be starting over from scratch.

–Anna Wintour is warning that we’ll be seeing a lot more of Melania Trump in Vogue. But…why?

–Debra Messing talked about how terribly director Alfonso Arau treated her on the set of A Walk in the Clouds,  demeaning her during a nude scene and saying things like “How quickly can we get a plastic surgeon in here? Her nose is ruining my movie!”

-Nice: Amy Poehler is developing a comedy for HBO.

-News that Fleabag creator and star Phoebe Waller-Bridge may be joining the Han Solo standalone film is making me stupidly happy.

-The cast of the Vampire Diaries are doing a really good job of pretending they like each other as filming wraps up.

-It sounds like Jenny Slate is having a hard time with her split from Chris Evans.

-Not gonna lie: Chris Evans fighting David Duke on Twitter is really doing it for me.

–Jake Gyllenhaal talking about the Tonys is kinda doing it for me too…

–Kelly Clarkson says a cancer scare “ruined” the first time she won at the Grammys.

-The Good Fight (The Good Wife’s spinoff that is web-only in the US) will be airing on W in Canada. Yay!

-The Crown has cast Dexter’s Michael C. Hall for season 2 to play JFK.  Huh.

-For some reason, Miranda Kerr felt the need to reveal that she and Snapchat founder Evan Spiegel won’t be having sex until after they’re married.

-This is a good sign: The Lego Batman movie has a 97 percent “fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

–Stephen and Robbie Amell‘s upcoming sci-fi film just scored a distribution deal. I kickstarted this thing!

-I’m so glad HBO’s Big Little Lies is getting such great reviews. I need it in my life.

–Jason Derulo is slamming American Airlines over what he calls a “racial discrimination” incident.

-I think the only teen show I’m watching these days is Sweet/Vicious, but I still really appreciated this article on how teen dramas are the perfect cure for prestige TV blues.

-It’s not in theatres until this summer and I’ve already sent a group text to my girlfriends warning them that we’re seeing Girl Trip opening night, based on this (very NSFW) trailer alone.

-Sources tell People that Miley Cyrus is still “clinging to hope” that she and Liam Hemsworth will reconcile. A friend says they’re talking while he’s in Australia, and taht he was the one who “needed a beat.”

-Amid the split reports, Liam has cancelled plans to return to the US to attend the world premiere of his new movie, Empire State.

–Justin Timberlake usually does a pretty great job of not cracking up during the more ridiculous moments of SNL, but even he couldn’t keep it together when Steve Carell made a priceless Lance Bass joke during a skit on Fallon.

–Justin Bieber had another meltdown on Instagram. And this time, he managed to bring Lindsay Lohan into it! (He later apologized to her.)

-I think it’s effing rad that Paul Wesley is publicly advocating that his Vampire Diaries character hook up with a dude.

-Well hello there, Zach Morris!

–Penelope Cruz is showing off her baby bump in a string bikini.

–M.I.A. took to Twitter to vent about her vicious custody battle over her 4-year-old son.

-In case Smash fans (all three of you) are still holding out hope about the show’s future,  sorry to burst your bubb but it just got moved to Saturdays.

-I’m kinda surprised that Lena Dunham did an interview with Playboy (even if she did talk about why she’s thankful she’s not “the babest person” with a “big rack.”)

–Matthew McConaughey is starting to look like himself again after that scary weight loss for a new role.

-It’s kind of adorable that Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner went on a friend date to the batting cages.

-This is why the Internet rocks: the Veronica Mars Kickstarter has already surpassed its $2 million goal and is quickly approaching the $3 million mark! It broke Kickstarter records and, as Vulture states, instantly transformed the site into “a viable power-to-the-people tool that could wrest decisions and creative dilution from micromanaging Hollywood executives.” Amen!

-Also, I really liked this article about why you shouldn’t be embarrassed about donating.

-In other magazine photo shoot news, Nicki Minaj proves that she’s actually pretty hot once you scrap off all those makeup layers in the new issue of Elle.

-Um, Mayim Bialik actually wore an outfit that I don’t hate. What?

–Geri Halliwell took the subway (sorry, “tube’) for the first time in 17 years — and she live-tweeted the whole thing. Wait, cellphones work in the London subway system?!

–Eva Mendes visited high-end lingerie boutique Kiki Montparnasse and ended up buying a life-sized skull.  (Sidenote: remember that Gossip Girl episode that featured a lingerie fashion show and the characters were all “Kiki Montparnasse this” and “Kiki Montparnasse that”?)

-Also, Eva Mendes should throw out this dress.

-Best Director winner Ang Lee‘s next project is kind of surprising; he’ll be directing a pilot for FX.

–Louis CK just offered a master class on how to deal with a heckler.

-I don’t usually think of Christopher Meloni as a barrel-of-laughs kind of actor (mostly because I still have nightmares about that neck-snapping scene in Oz), but he just signed on to a new sitcom.

-As I mentioned yesterday, there’s already so much to ridicule about Gwyneth Paltrow that we don’t have to start making shit up, ok?

–Nick Offerman did an AMA on Reddit yesterday.

–Alison Brie and Danny Pudi are all kinds of cute in this video discussing the new season of Community.

-Here’s a new trailer for To The Wonder (aka the latest Terrence Malick film that I’ll attempt to understand but inevitably end up napping through…)
