Emma Thompson Once Rejected Donald Trump

–Emma Thompson recalls the time Donald Trump asked her out: “I didn’t know what to do with myself.” Her cackle at the beginning of this story is epic.

-I probably shouldn’t have laughed at this story about reality TV contestants who emerged from a year in the wilderness only to discover the show was cancelled 7 months ago, but I’m not a very good person.

–Amy Schumer dropped out of that live-action Barbie movie, which seems like a good idea on her part.

-In response to that stupid criticism about how skinny he is, Chris Pratt joked he’s a very healthy T-Rex skull.

-Nikolaj Coster-Waldau says that Game of Thrones Season 7 ice stunt was “embarrassing” for the show’s creators.

-For anyone hoping Vanessa Hudgens will someday reunite with Zac Efron, don’t hold your breath. She says “I completely lost contact with him.”

-According to Page Six, Hollywood can’t stand Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell because they overshare. I mean, I think it’s really weird that they crusade to keep their family life private while simultaneously shoot commercials about their happy family life, but they’re still cute AF, y’all.

–Mariah Carey waded into the Nicki Minaj vs Remy Ma feud. No good can come from this.

–Cory Booker and Mindy Kaling flirted over Twitter and the internet is shipping it HARD.

-So many insanely good magazine covers dropped today. There’s W’s performances of the year issue, Prince Harry‘s Town & Country cover, Chris Pratt‘s Vanity Fair issue, and Glamour’s Girls cover, in which Lena Dunham and Jemima Kirke casually chat about the time Jemina threatened to punch Lena if she didn’t get out of her dressing room.

-Congrats to Janet Jackson, who welcomed son Eissa.

–Julia Roberts and Bono want you to drink tea with them. Drink? No. Spill? Yes.

-Oh jeez. Now Mariah Carey’s manager is claiming the production sabotaged her NYE performance. That seems…unlikely. Still, I’m weirdly impressed that she wasn’t planning a full lip sync of that first song. I mean, there was an obvious guiding vocal and all of her high notes were recorded, but she was still planning to sing that thing! The second song, not so much. I’m also impressed that she didn’t immediately storm off the stage. I guess what I’m saying is that when it comes to Mariah, I don’t expect much and am easily impressed.

–Chris Pratt‘s Vanity Fair interview also includes a video of him showing us how to gut a fish. He makes it seem charming.

-Billy on the Street tries to get to the bottom of the age-old question: do gay people care about John Oliver? Turns out he’s no Wendy Williams.

-I’m really glad to hear that critics are liking Big Little Lies (and surprised to hear they’re liking Riverdale).

-This is a great, great Twitter thread about the lack of articles about women staying away from Passengers in droves, as opposed to all the press about guys hating on Ghostbusters.

-That Will & Grace limited series revival is a go at NBC, according to on of its co-stars.

-The Sherlock showrunner has been forced to defend that unexpected death in the season premiere, which aired New Year’s Day. The year barely started and already there’s a female TV character who died to further a male character’s journey and fuel his manpain. Great.

-Speaking of unexpected TV twists, WTF Brooklyn Nine-Nine?

-I realized five years ago at my last Coachella that I’m too old for that shit (and I don’t want to spend $500 on a ticket), but this year’s lineup is solid. Beyonce, Radiohead and Kendrick are headlining.

–Heather Locklear issued a vague statement about “tying up some loose ends” amid reports that she has checked into rehab for the fifth time.

-Congrats to Felicia Day, who announced her pregnancy. She somehow managed to keep it under wraps until three weeks before her due date, which takes Kerry Washington-level skills.

-I was weirdly charmed by Ashley Tisdale and Vanessa Hudgens‘ duet of Ex’s and Oh’s.

–Pharrell Williams, Octavia Spencer, Janelle Monáe and Ellen are condemning a Hidden Figures soundtrack singer’s homophobic remarks.

–Leonardo DiCaprio kicked off the year by hiding under a towel. Same.

–Kim Kardashian has broken her social media silence with a weirdly filtered family pic. She also kept taking the “West” part of her name out of her bios but it’s back now.

–Neil Patrick Harris hams it up in the latest trailer for A Series of Unfortunate Events.

 

Sia Does Carpool Karaoke with James Corden

–James Corden took Sia on a ride in the latest segment of Carpool Karaoke. (Was I the only one hoping for some old school Zero 7 songs?) Of note: she explained her refusal to show her face is tied to her past as an addict.

-Alleged audio from Kanye West’s backstage meltdown at SNL has leaked and it’s not good. Tidbits include: “They took my fuckin’ stage off of SNL, without asking me. Now I’m bummed. That and Taylor Swift, fake ass. Now I ain’t gon’ do this.”

–Gwen Stefani admits that her new song is about Blake Shelton. Really? ‘Cause you guys were doing such a bang up job keeping it on the DL ’till now.

–Rihanna said she had to bail from her scheduled Grammy performance because she came down with bronchitis – –but did she really?

-Speaking of the Grammys, you can see an upset Taylor Swift mouth the words “I missed that note. Did you hear it?” in this clip.

–Justin Bieber tries to cover up his Selena Gomez tattoo. This month.

–Channing Tatum, what a jerk.

–Henry Cavill insists that his 19-year-old girlfriend is really mature for her age and that they have plenty to talk about.–Vanessa Hudgens and her boyfriend are under investigation — for carving their names and a heart into a rock. Wait, is lameness illegal now? I’m in supes troubs.

-The first image from Guardians of the Galaxy shows teeny tiny baby Groot!

-Does anyone else get weirdly nervous when Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner spend lots of time together?

-Whoa. The head of ABC was just unceremoniously dumped. Apparently, Disney wants the network to focus on less Shonda-ish shows and more “CBS-style procedural crime series like NCIS.” Ruh roh. On the plus side, he  replaced by the sister of the girl who played Francie on Alias! (I once overheard someone in an elevator say “Francie doesn’t like coffee ice cream” and it took everything in me not to throw myself at her and cling like a leech…)

–Nina Dobrev might have moved on from Austin Stowell to, um, Chace Crawford. Yeah, what you’re thinking right now is what I’m thinking too..

–Adele let her son dress up like Elsa from Frozen when they went to Disneyland because she’s wonderful.

-This is so fun: you know all of those photos floating around today of Kate Middleton learning how to blog? That’s my friend’s hubby showing her the ropes!

-Everyone assumed the New Yorker story we’d all be talking about this week would be the one about TMZ, but it’s actually the heartbreaking article on how NYPD Blue and Deadwood creator David Milch gambled away his $100 million fortune. Sad, sad stuff.

-Britney Spears told her Vegas audience that she’s looking for “a hot nerd, like, a really hot guy, with a really big penis.” Gurl. Don’t say stuff like that out loud. Also:
-I kinda feel bad for EW. They finally decide to give The 100 some love with a huge print spread, and it comes on the heels of its first shark jumpy ep.

-HBO’s Vinyl tanked in ratings. Gee, it’s almost as if viewers are sick of watching tortured middle-aged guys searching for purpose while mansplaining to every woman they meet. Crazy.

-I’ve given up on Supergirl, but I love that Lexi Alexander is directing the next two eps. She’s my hero on Twitter.

–Meryl Streep is a terrible opera singer ever in this promo for Florence Foster Jenkins.
