Azealia Banks Kicked Out of Russell Crowe’s Hotel Room


-What the hell happened this weekend between Russell Crowe and Azealia Banks? She was reportedly hanging out in his hotel as RZA‘s guest, began criticizing his music selection and allegedly got into an altercation with another female. Crowe is said to have physically removed her and called security, but now she’s filed a police report saying that he choked her and called her the n-word, and is promising “receipts.” So now the two most belligerent people in Hollywood are in a he said/she said; this should end well.

-Congrats to Designated Survivor’s Italia Ricci and The Flash’s Robbie Amell, who got married this weekend. (Entertainment Tonight congratulated the wrong Amell. If they ever need an expert on all things Amellian, I’m available…)

-Speaking of weddings, Glee star Dianna Agron got married to a guy from Mumford & Sons.

–Sarah Jessica Parker is threatening us with another SATC movie. Let us live, woman!

–Lin-Manuel Miranda wing-manning for Leslie Jones on Twitter is my new favourite thing!

-Hamilton’s Leslie Odom, Jr. is expecting a baby with Nicolette Robinson. Maybe now Lena Dunham won’t be insulting the next time he doesn’t flirt with her.

–Perrie Edwards says Zayn Malik ended their engagement with a text message. Kids today.

-Kids today, part deux: Joe Jonas doesn’t feel the need to apologize to Ashley Green for telling everyone she took his virginity.

-I really liked this article on Kristen Stewart‘s complicated new appeal.

-The only thing that would make this video of every shot of Tom Cruise running in movies better would be adding scenes of the Cougar Town cast making fun of Tom Cruise running in movies.

–Kylie Jenner says she didn’t get butt implants, it’s just her “chunkiness.” If by “chunkiness” she means “injections” then sure.

-This is an interesting take on how the Billy Bush saga might mark the end of softball entertainment journalism.

-Meanwhile, Bush might get a $10 million settlement from NBC just to go away.

–Taylor Swift donated $1 million to Louisiana flood victims because despite everything, she’s still kinda great.

–Hilary Duff is dating a personal trainer, which sounds like my version of hell.

-Here’s the first promo for Big Little Lies, the new limited HBO series starring Reese Witherspoon, Shailene Woodley, Adam Scott and Nicole Kidman, directed by Jean-Marc Vallee. Just give everyone all the Emmys now.

Gillian Anderson Talks X Files Pay Fight

gillian-anderson-harpers-bazaar

–Gillian Anderson looks lovely in the new Harper’s Bazaar UK, where she talks about feminism, sexual identity and why she went public when she was offered half of David Duchovny‘s salary. “That is a blatant inequality. They’re not going to make The X-Files without me. They’re either going to step up to the plate or they’re not going to make them at all, so I don’t really feel that I put my neck out in any way.”

–Patrick Dempsey sure is saying a lot of words in his People cover story. He talks about reconciling with his wife (“You’ve got to communicate, and stay open and not get lazy. And not give up. And lots of sex!”) and tries to make us believe that killing McDreamy was a joint decision with Shonda Rhimes. Uh huh.

-Lainey’s analysis of how Tom Hiddleston is controlling the breakup narrative is all kinds of fascinating. I seriously didn’t know he had this in him.

-Meanwhile, Idris Elba and Chris Hemsworth interrupted Tom Hiddleston’s acceptance speech for the TV Choice Awards, and it was adorable.

-I’m actually surprised it took Jessica Biel this long to realize she’s a TV girl and not a movie girl.

-Why is Drake‘s dad trying to burst our Drake/Rihanna bubble? WHY?!?!

-Meanwhile, Drake reportedly “went ballistic” after thieves ripped off millions in jewelry from tour bus. Seems fair.

–Justin Theroux with a beard is making me feel…things.

-Not surprisingly, Brad Pitt is no fan of Donald Trump. “What does he even mean, take our country back?”

-Let’s all just simmer down with that talk of Daniel Craig getting a $150 million James Bond payday, ok?

-Whoa. After all the mud they slung at each other, I was not expecting Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez to quietly call off their divorce.

–Madonna and Guy Ritchie have finally settled their custody battle over 16-year-old son Rocco.

–Taran Killam did a short about leaving SNL, shot in the style of the NFL show Hard Knocks.

-I really like this interview with Greg Berlanti on superhero TV-making (though I’m bummed they didn’t ask him about his time on Dawson’s Creek. He pushed through Jack’s first kiss with a guy, and the Pacey/Joey romance. If you ever want to take a deep dive into TV production, read The Billion Dollar Kiss.)

-Speaking of Dawson’s Creek, here’s a photo of Joshua Jackson wet and on a surfboard. Because I love you.

–Zayn Malik is developing an NBC series with Dick Wolf inspired by One Direction. So many parts of that sentence confuse me.

-Wait, Gavin Rossdale is now dating Tiger Woods’ ex-wife, Elin Nordegren? Huh.

-This is a riveting profile of Tom Ford, who opens up about his battle with depression and sobriety. “Death is all I think about. There is not a day or really an hour that goes by that I don’t think about death.”

-Good to see the early reviews of Netflix’s new show Luke Cage are glowing.

-I think I’m going to stop reading about the Gilmore Girls revival because it’s getting too spoilery. Like, do we really need the 1st page of the script? (I did appreciate the “you’ve been Goop’d” burn, though).

–Gwyneth Paltrow says she wouldn’t consciously uncouple via Goop again. “It sort of wouldn’t be appropriate now. It is a much bigger business and I’m not sure it would be the right place to do something like that.”

-Why doesn’t anyone seem to like this Chanel dress on Keira Knightley? I’m coveting the shit out of it.

-Meanwhile, Keira would like you to know that she’s not going bald.

–Will Smith meets Love (Keira Knightley) and Death (Helen Mirren) in the first Collateral Beauty. The movie looks intriguing, but it opens against Rogue One.

What’s Going On with Pitch Perfect 3?!

-Guys, I’m starting to worry about Pitch Perfect 3. First there were rumblings that Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson were clashing (but that was from a very dubious source, so easy to dismiss). But then there were rumours about Kendrick and Elizabeth Banks clashing. And now Banks has dropped out of directing because of “scheduling conflicts.” What’s happening? I’d assumed these were the most easy to get along with peeps in Hollywood…

-It’s been a rough week for Instagram couples. First Taylor and Calvin, and now Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik have split.

–Johnny Depp had a “cheerful and chatty” night last night in Denmark, and refused to go back inside the club when his bodyguard urged him to. Then he got cozy with a blond fan. That’s swell.

-It’s the most wonderful time of the year: we’re in the midst of a Mariah Carey press tour! Watch her primp for fan selfies (while the fans wait), and get interviewed in a bubble bath.

-Glee’s Mark Salling is set to surrender to authorities today in that child pornography case. He was spotted leaving a bank with a $100,000 check before heading to court.

-Ok, so the Rogue One reshoots might be worse than we originally thought. They involve 8 weeks, 32 sets and (gulp!) 40% of the film.

–Zachary Levi says “It’s so fascinating, girls say chivalry is dead. And it’s like if it’s dead, you fucking killed it.”  Shut up, Chuck.

–This makes me want to watch The World’s End again.

-This feels like information I didn’t need to know, Jessica Alba.

-I didn’t know I needed to see a video of David Beckham and Mario Lopez dancing at Eva Longoria’s wedding, and now I don’t know how I lived without it.

-Ouch! Dominic Purcell was injured on the set of the Prison Break reboot. As nasty as the photo looks, production isn’t being delayed. Gotta love his attitude! (“I got a free nose job.”)

–Leonardo DiCaprio is “seriously dating” a model. Sure he is.

–Matt Damon‘s MIT commencement speech is all kinds of charming.

-God, I love this article: “Why we’re terrified of fanfiction.” I don’t read fanfic (but I do follow a hilarious Tumblr that excerpts it, and I once found myself vigorously defending it on a plane when the guy next to me asked about the Rainbow Rowell book I was reading, and then proceeded to roll his eyes when I mentioned its fanfic angle). Still, I think the point of the article extends to the attitude a lot of female-leaning pop culture.

-Jeez, just when you thought the American Gods series couldn’t sound any better, they go and cast Gillian Anderson.

–Drake‘s idea of hitting on someone is to make the heart shape with his hands and point to them. I expected nothing less.

–Jena Malone pops up in the trailer for a 3-hour(!) cut of Batman v Superman as Barbara Gordon. Um, is she supposed to look like Felicity Smoak?

-The View fired another cohost.

-A female reboot of Ocean’s Eleven with Cate Blanchett and Sandra Bullock? Take my money now!!

-God, I can’t wait for the new season of UnREAL. Remember when summer TV was a wasteland?
