The 2017 Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue Has Landed

vanity-fair-hollywood-emma-stone-amy-adams-ruth-negga

Vanity Fair’s annual Hollywood cover is here and it’s pretty damn glorious. Everyone looks amazing but Ruth Negga is especially owning it, I think. (Also, they were clearly assuming Amy Adams would be nominated and Birth of a Nation’s Aja Naomi King would be a bigger deal.)

-The solo portraits and videos are great, too.  I love Emma Stone‘s explanation on why she loves Nancy Meyers movies. “How did these women have these kitchens? We don’t know, because we don’t ask, because it looks breezy and like life is wonderful.”

Scarlett Johansson and now-ex Romain Dauriac are presenting a united front post-split announcement, attending an art opening together last night.

Shia LaBeouf was arrested after a self-identified Hitler apologist invaded his anti-Trump live stream. Say what you will about Shia, but he controlled himself pretty admirably. Saying “Hitler did nothing wrong” to a Jewish person could have gone wayyyy worse.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie‘s divorce is the focus of a new investigative documentary, which I’m sure must just *thrill* them.

-This is a great read about Hollywood’s Black List, an annual survey of the “most liked” motion picture screenplays not yet produced.

-Community creator Dan Harmon has offered suspended SNL writer Katie Rich a job.

-Well, this doesn’t bode well: The Flash movie screenplay is reportedly getting a complete rewrite from a new writer.

Zach Braff is returning to TV. If Donald Faison isn’t joining him I’m just going to pretend it’s not happening.

-Speaking of returns, welcome back Julia Stiles!

Sofia Vergara asks “What’s wrong with being a stereotype?” Uh….

-The more I see from Zendaya, the more I like this kid.

Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard were on Ellen today and told a cute story about how Dax helped Kristen talk to her celebrity crush Riz Ahmed at the Golden Globes. “I walked up and out of my mouth came ‘I find you very attractive!'”

-In news that should surprise no one,  Nina Dobrev will return in The Vampire Diaries series finale.

-In other news that should surprise no one, the director of Wayne’s World recalls clashing with Mike Myers.

Roxane Gay continues to be my hero with her clapback game.

Melissa Benoist and Eva Longoria try to support a struggling graffiti artist in the new Lowriders trailer.

Arrested Development Previews Look Promising

-As much as I love and adore Arrested Development, I’ve been a bit nervous about the prospect of a new season. I mean, it’s been seven years. Would they be able to recapture the magic? But this new outtake featuring Lucille and Buster has done a lot to restore my faith. The new character posters are also pretty damn glorious.

Gwyneth Paltrow jumped on the side-butt bandwagon and wore a sheer paneled Antonio Berardi gown that was both daring and terrible at last night’s Iron Man 3 premiere. I think the Fug Girls said it best: “It’s not even expensive-looking or flattering sheerness. It’s like someone slaughtered several pairs of L’Eggs.”

-Speaking of Iron Man 3, expect it to be a monster at the box office. It doesn’t open for another week, and already it’s making up 25% of all movie tickets being sold right now. More than 400 screenings have already sold out.

Steve Martin was pretty adorable on Letterman this week, talking about being a new dad.

-Speaking of late night TV, Tom Cruise should do all future interviews with Emily Blunt by his side. They’re pretty great together.

-Here’s Beyonce’s new short film for H&M, directed by Jonas Åkerlund. Yawn.

Jimmy Kimmel chugged five drinks during his Time 100 speech and the results were marvellous.

Jennifer Love Hewitt may be brought on as a judge on The X-Factor? Who wants that?

-It looks like Gossip Girl‘s Ed Westwick and Jessica Szhor are back together. (Also, I love that he dresses even douchier than his GG character IRL.)

-The guest star list for The Office finale has been released. Steve Carell‘s name is not on it, but there’s no way he’s not coming back.

Edward Norton is being investigated for harassment after a heated run-in with a pap.

Vampire Diaries star Daniel Gillies is having a good week. Not only is tonight’s episode serving as a backdoor spinoff for his character, but Showtime just bought two films he wrote and stars in. (Fun fact: did you know he’s married to Rachel Leigh Cook?)

In this video, New Girl‘s Jake Johnson previews a big Nick and Jess moment in next week’s episode.

-In case you were wondering, Rihanna and Ciara still appear to hate each other.

Grimes wants you to stop referring to her as a waif, ok?

-If this royalty thing doesn’t work out, Prince Harry could have a promising career as a news anchor.

-Just in case you didn’t find her annoying enough, Jessica Alba says she wore a double corset day and night to lose her baby weight.

The backlash against Zach Braff‘s Kickstarter hasn’t stopped him from nearly reaching his $2 million goal in just two days.

-The guy who played Bunk on The Wire tried to make a prequel about the show starring Samuel L. Jackson.

Justin Bieber‘s unlucky streak continues. Drugs and a stun gun were found in his empty tour bus by Swedish police. Also, he’s getting flack for reportedly showing up to a photo shoot six hours late and refusing to change.

Justin Timberlake got all gushy about his marriage on Ellen.

-You may not have heard of comedian Nathan Fielder, but that’s probably going to change this week. He just asked his Twitter followers to pull a drug dealing prank on their parents, and the results are hilarious.

-The new trailer for Monsters University is pretty cute.

Gwyneth Paltrow: Hated But Beautiful

gwyneth-paltrow-most-beautiful-people

-The one good thing about Gwyneth Paltrow being named People’s Most Beautiful Woman? Jezebel linked to my silly little Tumblr in their story about it! I can die happy now.

Anne Hathaway is clearly upset that Gwyneth beat her in that recent Most Hated Celebrity poll, but this should give her an edge for next year: she’s reportedly considering her first Broadway role. [Update: her rep’s denied it. Keep trying, Annie! You’re almost there!]

Rihanna Instagrammed (then quickly deleted) a topless pic, and now she’s insisting it wasn’t of her. Not that she’s suddenly shy on social media; she followed it up by tweeting about  Katy Perry spanking her.

-Speaking of Katy, she filed a $6.5 million counterclaim against Good Hair Day, saying they continued to use her name and image after dropping her endorsement deal.

-If you haven’t seen Tilda Swinton lead an audience dance-along to Barry White at last weekend’s Ebertfest, stop everything and watch it now. It will make you love life.

SNL‘s Kate McKinnon imitated Ellen on today’s Ellen and it was glorious.

-As someone who’s supported two Kickstarter campaigns in the past month, I clearly believe it can be an inventive way to get quality pop culture made outside the traditional Hollywood system, but even I’m a little wary of Zach Braff’s new donation plea. Though I might be in the minority; this afternoon he was raising roughly $1,500 every minute.

Justin Bieber got two new, terrible tattoos: a tiger and an angel. But that’s still not as bad as the look he was sporting earlier today. What. Is. Happening.

-Oh, and Justin‘s manager says he has 240 unrecorded songs in his journal, so we all have that to look forward to…

-Meanwhile, Matthew McConaughey approves of Justin‘s shirtless style.

-Vulture posted some very cute photos from the Time 100 gala, proving that Amy Poehler and Lena Dunham were the life of the party.

-As American Idol’s ratings continue to bottom out, The Hollywood Reporter reveals that producers recently tried to replace Mariah Carey with ex-judge Jennifer Lopez. How does the public not love Mariah? Haven’t they seen her pyjama pics?!

-Showtime has released a new clip from the Dexter season premiere. Deb is drinking in the middle of a grocery store, which can’t be a good sign.

-I am really not sold on Shailene Woodley as the lead in The Fault in our Stars, but I don’t mind her as the lead in Divergent (especially after seeing this pic.)

This story about a young girl who has taken thousands of photos with celebrities is kind of disturbing…especially when you get to the part when she starts dating the kid from Two and a Half Men.

-Let’s hope Greetings from Tim Buckley is a hit. Penn Badgley says he has no plans to return to television. “Nothing could drag me back.”

-Odd couple Mary-Kate Olsen and Olivier Sarkozy continue to wig us out with their PDA.

Tony and Pepper share a sweet moment in this new clip from Iron Man 3. I’m actually starting to look forward to this thing!

Jason Segel continues to be the luckiest overgrown child in Hollywood. His children’s book just got picked up by Random House.

Sharon Osbourne says she was devastated to learn the extent of husband Ozzy‘s substance abuse.

Vincent Kartheiser really, really doesn’t like the Huffington Post.

Julie Delpy has been hitting the promo circuit hard for Before Midnight and she’s worn long-sleeved black dresses to four out of her last five appearances. The woman knows what works on her! She also knows how to shut down an obnoxious audience member.

-Here’s the new XX song from The Great Gatsby soundtrack. Love!

-A new Japanese trailer for The Wolverine offers a longer glimpse at the action sequences.

Wedding Crashers costars Rachel McAdams and Bradley Cooper were spotted grabbing lunch together, but they’re sticking to the “just friends” story.

-This could be…interesting. Channing Tatum and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are rumoured to be in a new Guys and Dolls movie.

Nicole Kidman, Ang Lee, Lynne Ramsay and Christoph Waltz will be on this year’s Cannes jury.

-The more I see of Emma Watson in Bling Ring footage, the more I can’t wait to see this movie. She nails the Valley Girl talk!
