Walking Dead Fans Shook By Death of Major Character

walking-dead-death-spoiler

-I stopped watching The Walking Dead last year (best. decision. ever.) but Twitter went wild over last night’s big death. Also not impressed? The star’s dad, who slammed the showrunner: “Watching Gimple fire my son 2 weeks before his birthday after telling him they wanted him for the next 3 years was disappointing.”

-Meanwhile, Andrew Lincoln is talking about how his contract is up this season and has yet to be formally renewed for season nine.

-It’s been kind of amazing to watch stars like Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Justin Bieber, Hailee Steinfeld and more rally around that kid who was bullied. But now there’s controversy surrounding the boy’s mom following allegations that she’s made racist posts on Facebook. It does make you wonder why certain stories go viral — and others don’t.

-Last night word broke on Twitter that a celeb chef would be the latest famous dude to fall, with Anthony Bourdain adding “Monday is really going to suck.” Fellow chef Tom Colicchio tweeted “And no one should be surprised.” Then this morning came the news that Mario Batali has been accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women. His response: “Although the identities of most of the individuals mentioned in these stories have not been revealed to me, much of the behavior described does, in fact, match up with ways I have acted.”

–Jessica Chastain says a famous dude chastised her for tweeting  when the Weinstein scandal broke. “I was tweeting a lot at the time and actually got an email from a well-known actor that said, ‘Calm down.'”

-A source says that Matt Lauer is “weak and broken and ashamed” after his firing. I love this song.

-Another woman has come forward with allegations of being groped by Dustin Hoffman.

-To do a Spacey-free season, Netflix had to toss most of two completed episodes and about 5-6 finished scripts.

–Josh Homme posted two Instagram videos apologizing after kicking a female photographer during a QOTSA concert.

-I seriously wish Tiffany Haddish was contractually obligated to be a talk show guest every week. Her story about dating a one-armed man slayed me. “Does he live with the X-Men?”

-The Golden Globe nominations are always weird, but there were some nutso snubs in this morning’s announcement. On the movie side, no Wonder Woman or The Big Sick or Tiffany Haddish. Over on TV, no Veep or The Leftovers — but Jessica Biel somehow managed to slide in there?

-Only five women have ever been nominated for the Golden Globe for Best Director in its 75-year history. This year, women were shut out once again. I really thought Greta Gerwig was a shoe-in.

–This video of Alison Brie finding out about her GG nom on the set of Glow is pretty great.

-Netflix calling out the 53 people who’ve watched A Christmas Prince 18 days in a row is a bit squicky.  Not only does it reveal that they’re tracking us in a big brotherly way, why are they going after their (most likely) female fans? Squicky, I tell ya.

-Netflix revealed their end-of-year data, and you all watched a LOT of American Vandal. Which is odd, because I feel like it didn’t get a lot of coverage.

–This X Files promo with the stars trying to explain Mulder and Scully’s relationship made  me laugh. (“I’d say were kind of back to where we were originally but without the unresolved sexual tension… Because we’ve already had sex.”)

-Whoo hoo! Atlanta’s season 2 returns to FX in February of 2018. I really thought we’d have to wait another year for this one.

-On the flip side, Sophie Turner says Game of Thrones season 8 won’t premiere until 2019.

-Previously.TV is doing old-school, Television without Pity-style recaps and I am SO HAPPY. (And I don’t even watch this show!)

-The trailer for Jessica Jones Season 2 looks wonderful.  It drops March 8, and all 13 episodes were directed by women.

Walking Dead’s Richonne Breaks the Internet

-I gave up on The Walking Dead awhile ago, but it still warmed my heart to watch the internet break last night over the Rick/Michonne stuff. And I love the fact that no one ships it harder than star Andrew Lincoln. You just know that he fell down rabbit hole of Tumblr gifsets today…

–Jack Antonoff has offered to produce new music with Kesha, saying “if you want to make something together & then leak it for everyone I’m around.”

–Taylor Swift donated $250,000 to Kesha for her court costs in show of support (which was first revealed by Kesha’s mom), and for some reason that made Demi Lovato really angry and she accused Swift of using feminism to further her brand. Hey Demi: judging other women’s choices and publicly dragging them is pretty un-feminist.

–Taylor was the maid of honour at the wedding of her BFF (who must be the most confident person ever).

-Whoa. Mashable has issued a hell of a correction to that Meryl Streep “We’re all Africans” story.

–Kim Kardashian shared the first photo of Saint West. I guess that’s one way to distract everyone from the fact that your hubby seems to be having a full on public breakdown.

-At the very least, Kanye needs a nap — but he’s too busy breaking up fights by hugging.

–John Oliver‘s Last Week Tonight was on fire last night, first doing a blistering segment on Hollywood white-washing and then tackling abortion.

-If you have a half hour this week, I strongly advise you to listen to this podcast with a woman who helps actors with their Oscar campaign strategy. The Leonardo part is fascinating.

-I’m not happy about this Prison Break casting news, entirely for irrational shipper reasons.

–Johnny Depp promises that even though he looks like a hobo, he smells “really good.” Sounds fake but ok.

–Tina Fey‘s expression in this photo is like “how is this my life?!”

-One of Will Smith‘s costars in Ali just went on a radio show and talked about how Will was a huge jerk to him during the shoot and implied it was because he was on steroids for the role. Welcome to unemployment, random actor dude.

-I know people aren’t super impressed with Pepper Potts coming back for Civil War, but I love this news. That role is Gwyneth at her most tolerable to me.

–Kaley Cuoco says she’s not dating Sam Hunt. (Is it because she’s dating Captain Lance??)

–Mekhi Phifer is coming to the CW? And it’s for a Frequency reboot? Yasss!

–Peter Facinelli and Blindspot’s Jaimie Alexander have ended their engagement. What do we think of her? I keep hearing…stuff.

–Shia LaDouche slapped a fan while spending 24 hours in an elevator for his art. Expected.

–Madonna posted a photo of son Rocco with the caption “‘I miss this boy” as the custody battle continues.

-A new study confirms what we already knew: Hollywood is so, so, so, white (and male, and straight).

-Deadpool beautifully mocked Kanye West in response to the internet’s Saturday Night Live petition.

-So the Justice League movie is going ahead with filming. No pressure, Batman v Superman!

-Glee’s Lea Michele and BF Matthew Paetz have split after nearly two years of dating.

-A new Bieber song leaked today. It’s very <finger quotes>sexy</finger quotes>.

-The X Files revival wraps up tonight — but David Duchovny is already talking about how he “would love to” make more episodes.

–Drake crashed a bat mitzvah in New York City and it was wonderful.

-Meanwhile, Rihanna and Drake just blessed us with a two-for-one music video for “Work.” That restaurant they’re in is The Real Jerk on Gerrard St! I can vouch for their chicken roti.

 

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler Cover EW, Talk Sisters

tina-fey-amy-poehler

-Christmas just came early! Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are gracing the latest cover of EW for their holiday movie preview. Says Poehler in the interview: “We are each other’s chosen sister. Like most sisters, we’ve never dated the same guy and we’re great in photo shoots and fittings because we know what will look good on one another.”

–Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone didn’t just break up, they broke up “a couple of months ago.” You know what that means? The Summer of Splits is still haunting us!!

-In other split news, Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez have filed their divorce papers, but they’re already fighting over spousal support. Not surprisingly, his “profoundly frightening” “explosive temper” is being blamed for the breakup.

-Here’s an interesting look at how the Walking Dead writers have turned what happened on the latest episode into a no-win scenario for the show. Whatever the outcome, there’s going to be oodles of hate-tweeting on Sunday.

–Khloe Kardashian explained that her putting the breaks on her divorce from Lamar Odom doesn’t necessarily mean they’re reconciling. “For medical decisions and a ton of other things, it’s just smarter that it’s put on hold.”

-I haven’t actually listened to the Hamilton cast recording yet because I’m pretty sure it’s going to take over my life immediately, but this story about Jonathan Groff fangirling over Beyonce when she complimented his stage walk is adorable.

–Hayley Williams joined forces with CHVRCHES onstage, and it was wonderful.

-What the hell, Raven-Symoné? Are you on a mission to be the most disliked Cosby Show alum?

–Congrats to Tig Notaro, who wed girlfriend Stephanie Allynne.

–Sandra Bullock is weirdly obsessed with Ross Perot.

-I cringed A LOT when watching this video of Madonna dancing up on Katy Perry.

-Wait, so Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris are still together? I can’t keep up.

–Zac Efron and Robert De Niro‘s Dirty Grandpa trailer has arrived. Did anyone else get flashbacks of Efron’s recent troubles when he yelled “I just smoked crack!!” (Also, this movie looks like a bag of garbage.)

-Katniss & co. gear up for battle in the latest Mocking Jay: Part 2 trailer.
