drake-zoe-kravitz

-Wait, Drake and Zoe Kravitz might be dating? But that breaks up two of my favourite fantasy couples in one fell swoop: Drake & Rihanna AND Zoe & Penn!

-Sorry, but not even your secret BFF Jennifer Lawrence can make the sheer dress trend work.

–Mindy Kaling wrote a very cute and encouraging letter to teen girls.

-Is there anything Brangelina can’t do? Their wine was just named the “best rosé in the world.”

-When I first watched the Kanye West video I thought “Finally! He’s learned how to poke a bit of fun at himself.” But the general consensus seems to be that this is a straight-up serious music video. If that’s the case, there aren’t enough eyerolls in the world (especially considering his recent performances of that song have been amazing).

-Who has more self control: Rob Ford or Alec Baldwin?

-Oh, and now Alec Baldwin is hate-Tweeting at Anderson Cooper. Classy.

–Variety’s feature on Emma Thompson makes me love her even more, and I didn’t think that was physically possible.

-God bless Jezebel for scouring Reddit to find the best stories from groupies.

-Although I still can’t quite believe that Armani managed to confuse Alfre Woodard with Idris Elba, it did spawn a very funny meme.

-It sounds like Frank Darabont still isn’t over getting fired from The Walking Dead.

–Jennie Garth has split from the guy you didn’t know she was dating.

–Evan Rachel Wood has no interest in telling you her son’s name so just stop asking, ‘k?

–Kate Middleton says Prince George is “growing very fast,” which is exactly what all new mothers say. Do you think she also spams all of her friends’ Facebook feeds with baby photos?

–Early reviews of Catching Fire are strong. Yay!

-Wait, so Kristen Stewart’s hideous tattoo isn’t just fake ink for an upcoming role? Uh oh.

–Chiwetel Ejiofor and Kate Moss‘s photo spread in Vogue is gorg!

-Betrayal has basically been cancelled by ABC, and I’d be surprised if Once Upon a Time in Wonderland comes back, either.

-Planning on attending Arcade Fire‘s upcoming tour? They want you to dress up like a fancy pants.

-Oddest headline of the day: “Coldplay’s Chris Martin DJ’d for Arcade Fire while disguised as a skeleton”

–New Solange!

-Just in case you were wondering, Roseanne Barr is still utterly insane.

-This is disappointing: Daniel Day-Lewis‘ son appears to be a homophobic jerk who thinks he can rap.

-These Orphan Black credits in the style of Parks and Recreation made my entire day.

-Deadline owner Jay Penske is taking Nikki Finke to arbitration. Oh, to be a fly on that wall…

–Franz Ferdinand has a new video out. I missed these guys!

-Speaking of new videos, let Sarah Silverman teach you about divas.

-Awww, crap. I want to give Chris Hardwick a hug now.

Kerry Washington and Eminem Team Up for SNL

-It’s a good sign that SNL put out not one, but two rounds of promo clips for Kerry Washington‘s upcoming appearance — and she kills it both times.

-Speaking of Kerry, (who keeps rocking killer black-and-white combos this week, first on last night’s Scandal and later on Fallon), everyone’s pulling out the soundbite about her not being offended by the lesbian rumours, but her entire interview with The Advocate is well worth a read.

-Meanwhile, Scandal star Josh Malina went as Olivia Pope for Halloween on Kimmel last night, and it was glorious.

–Jennifer Love Hewitt‘s baby daddy drama got her show cancelled.

-Can anyone out there decipher Gwyneth Paltrow’s cryptic signoff in this week’s GOOP? (“P.S. Oh, it’s definitely your f@$*ing city.”)

–Kanye West‘s lawsuit against the co-founder of YouTube is super mean in its description of the guy.

–Michael Fassbender says everyone’s obsession over his penis is a kind of sexual harassment.

-I agree with a lot about this article on why all the How I Met Your Mother characters so insufferable this season.

–Emilie Hirsch is a new dad. He welcomed a baby boy with an unnamed former flame.

–MIA‘s new album is streaming in full on YouTube.

-30 Rock duo Tina Fey and Robert Carlock are going to produce a new sitcom for NBC starring The Office’s Ellie Kemper. I’m not sure how they’ll wring comedy out of a story about abducted girls but if anyone can do it, it’s them.

–Lamar Odom is sounding very positive about the future of his marriage to Khloe Kardashian. She does not seem to share his optimism, however.

-There also seems to be some hope for the future of Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones‘ marriage.

–Connie Britton says she would totally return to American Horror Story. Has anyone warned her about this season’s skull bashing and minotaur sex?

–Kristin Chenoweth got a pixie cut and I heart it so hard!

-Anyone else think it’s weird that Jesse Eisnenberg is doing Modern Family?

-I love that Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy took their kids trick-or-treating together.

–Britney Spears dressed up like Snow White for Halloween — and made her backup dancers go as schlubby dwarfs.

–January Jones had the laziest Halloween costume ever.

-I couldn’t make it through the entire Nerdist podcast with Harrison Ford because it was too awkward. Host Chris Hardwick generously took all the blame, but think it was sunk by Harrison Ford’s Harrison Fordiness.

-I like that Mindy Kaling is basically using her TV gig to make out with whichever hot actor she wants. Next up: Timothy Olyphant.

-With her big Vanity Fair exposé on the horizon, Gwyneth Paltrow is going on the offensive.

–Margaret Atwood is totally winning at Twitter.

–Jay Z reportedly nixed 3,200 possible names before settling on one for his new cologne: Gold. That seems like time and energy well spent.

-He might move like Jagger, but Katy Perry’s not interested. She says she turned down the Rolling Stone frontman when he hit on her when she was just 18.

-This is so very NSFW, so very offensive, but also so very hilarious: “Ghostface Killah’s 3rd Annual Top 10 Softest Rappers in the Game List!” It’s all priceless, but the Kanye West callout is amazing: “This muthaf**** done put on womens garments one too many times to not get called out for it son. This *****s drivin his gender mobile in the middle of the freeway wit no regards for which way the traffic is goin AT ALL b. This ***** aint jus gon be rockin the entire Chanel spring collection n not catch no flack for that shit nahmean.” Also amazing is his take on Bow Wow: “The last time anybody took this n**** serious Lil Kim was still mostly made of human body parts son.” I’m dying.

–Damon Wayans Jr. is reprising his role of Coach on New Girl, starting next week.

-The Make-A-Wish Foundation is turning San Francisco into Gotham for a sick 5-year-old boy, and their plan is amazing.

–Spike Jonze to going to direct ‘live music video‘ for Arcade Fire, whatever that means.

-Um, is it just me or does the Lego movie looks kind of great?

MTV VMAs Get Ratings Boost Thanks To Miley Cyrus, ‘N Sync

-All that twerking helped the VMAs score big ratings last night.

-Everyone’s still talking about Miley Cyrus‘ desperate performance (as well as Will Smith and Taylor Swift’s reactions to said twerkfest  — though Smith might have been reacting to Gaga instead). Vulture posted a pretty great analysis of Miley’s performance, saying it wasn’t about sex, it was about race and calling her ratchet display a “minstrel show“. It’s an interesting point of view, but I think they’re giving Miley too much credit. I’m guessing her thought process went something along the lines of “tongue = good; clothes = bad.”

-Meanwhile, Miley‘s manager says her “evolution” is “healthy” and “organic.” In case you didn’t know, this is the same guy who used to manage Britney Spears, so…yeah.

-Also, the Onion hilariously predicted Miley’s VMA performance back in 2008.

–Miley found time to drop a new single amid all the grossness.

-Meanwhile, Kelly Clarkson deemed a couple VMA performers “pitchy strippers,” making me love her even more.

-In other VMA news, Jessica Biel didn’t show up to the ceremony, but Justin Timberlake at least let her attend the afterparty (in a super unflattering dress, but still).

–Ellie Goulding is rumoured to be dating One Direction’s Niall Horan, but that didn’t stop her from getting handsy with Ed Sheeran during the VMAs. She later pooped the gossip party by tweeting that they’re just “friends.”

–Taylor Swift may have mouthed STFU during the ceremony at Harry Styles, but the exes made nice at a VMAs afterparty.

-Also last night, One Direction got booed for winning the Song of the Summer, and Lady Gaga was having none of it.

–Anna Gunn wrote a great op-ed piece in the New York Times about fans’ hatred of her Breaking Bad character, and how such vitriol only seems to rain on female characters.

-Speaking of Breaking Bad, last night’s ep gave me a mad case of the OMGs.

-For those of you who just couldn’t sit through Low Winter Sun last night, here’s the Walking Dead sneak peek that aired during the commercial break.

-The other big entertainment event that happened last night was the taping of James Franco‘s Comedy Central roast. So just how many gay jokes were there? Not surprisingly, a LOT. (And here’s a selection of the non-gay jokes, in case you’re wondering what else they teased him about.)

–Chris Brown keeps tweeting about how he’s ready to be “a leader.” He better be talking about the comic book character, or else we’re all in trouble!

–Jenny McCarthy is gearing up for her View debut by trotting boyfriend Donnie Wahlberg out on red carpets.

-The Lamar Odom saga has taken a dark, disturbing turn. Khloe Kardashian reportedly separated from him after a failed intervention last week, and now comes reports that he spent the last few days in a hotel room where friends “are trying to get him help for unspecified drug problem.” Khole is the only Kardashian I find tolerable; I hope it all works out for them.

–Joss Whedon has defended Ben Affleck being cast as Batman, so I guess we should all just shut up now and bow down to his nerd judgement. Bryan Cranston has reportedly already signed on to play Lex Luthor, so I’m already on board.

-Even Lindsay Lohan isn’t immune to auto-correct fails.

–Kate Gosselin is reportedly suing ex-husband Jon for millions, claiming he hacked into her computer, bank accounts and phone lines and used what he found to publish a tell-all book about her. Glad to see some things never change.

-Looks like someone can afford a new pair of grills! Forbes just named Madonna the highest paid celebrity of 2013.

-This might be a little too “inside baseball” for most, but the feud between Nikki Finke and her boss is riveting stuff in the gossip world.

–George Clooney starts filming his new movie Tomorrowland in Vancouver this week. Is this why he can’t make it to TIFF? *pout*

–Brad Pitt (who’s also not scheduled to attend his TIFF premiere – WTF?) and Angelina Jolie were reportedly in Canada recently scouting locations for her new film, and they took a break to enjoy a daredevil date at a racetrack.

–Kevin Spacey had some tough talk for TV network execs. I spent a lot of time vigorously nodding while listening to this.

-The Church of Scientology held a big gala this weekend, which served as a reminder that people who otherwise seem pretty awesome (like Laura Prepon and Erika Christensen) are members.

-A bunch of directors, including Edgar Wright, James Ponsoldt, and Lynn Shelton, started tweeting nice things about each other last night, and it quickly devolved into a “Twitter group hug,” which was kind of adorable.

–Arcade Fire will be doing…something…to promote their upcoming album on Sept. 9 at 9pm. Smack in the middle of TIFF, so that’s just swell.

–Scarlett Johansson plays a tease in the new trailer for Joseph Gordon-Levitt‘s Don Jon.

-Speaking of trailers, the first one for Divergent premiered last night. I’m loving Kate Winslet as Jeanine in this!
