Ryan Reynolds Gets Duped By Hugh Jackman & Jake Gyllenhaal

-This Ryan Reynolds tweet made me laugh a lot.

-Speaking of Jake Gyllenhaal, he’s reportedly dating a 22-year-old model. Sure.

-Wait, Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas had two more wedding receptions this week? Is this just their life now?

-An old video of Chris Rock, Louis CK and Ricky Gervais freely talking about using the n-word on stage has resurfaced, and people are not happy. (Jerry Seinfeld was also part of the conversation, but acquitted himself well by seeming uncomfortable and refusing to repeat the word: “You’ve found the humour of it. I haven’t found it, nor do I seek it.”)

-On the Tonight Show, Felicity Jones attempted some Beyonce moves and it went better than you’d expect.

-Old Beyonce songs were leaked on Spotify somehow, and everyone melted down thinking they were new. (They were not. Bah humbug!)

-This video of Michelle Obama and Jimmy Fallon surprising people when the elevator doors open is a delight!

–Kristen Stewart might have a new girlfriend.

-Uh, did Jessica Mulroney just offer the Daily Mail a look inside her Toronto home? Being Meghan Markle‘s BFF sure is working out for her.

–Dylan O’Brien and Britt Robertson, who’ve been dating since 2012, have reportedly split.

–Demi Lovato took to Twitter to deny the “sources” of a recent tabloid story about her recovery. She added: “Someday I’ll tell the world what exactly happened, why it happened and what my life is like today.. but until I’m ready to share that with people please stop prying and making up shit that you know nothing about. I still need space and time to heal.”

–Colin Farrell used a recent talk show appearance to shine a spotlight on his friend who’s suffering from Epidermolysis bullosa.

-This is an interesting interview with showrunners over the need for Hollywood to learn how to handle sex scenes better. This is a side effect of peak TV: a bunch of writers/directors are now running TV shows who have no idea deal with people management.

–Sandra Bullock‘s new Netflix movie Bird Box isn’t getting great reviews.  According to my Twitter feed, people don’t seem to care.

-This is a good piece about feeling alienated from a lot of the “girl power” messaging at the movies and TV this year. I follow an academic on Twitter who’s summed this phenomenon up perfectly: plastic representation.

-Tell your mother to stop worrying: Mark Harmon‘s rep slammed the “completely false” rumour the actor is leaving NCIS.

-Congrats to Andy Cohen, who announced he’s going to be a father.

–Katy Perry‘s video for “Bon Appetit” is super creepy, no?

-Congrats to Miranda Kerr, who just married Evan Spiegel.

-This is an interesting read on how Hollywood is in danger of another major hack like the Sony one. There’s reportedly been at least a half-dozen extortion attempts against Hollywood firms over the past 6 months alone and in each case, the hackers demanded less than $80,000 so the FBI advised victims to just pay the ransom.

-This was a good day for TV news. Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Fresh Off the Boat and Speechless were all renewed.

-This is cute: Busy Philipps fans are sending her money in case her pilot isn’t picked up.

-Speaking of pilots, here’s some trailers for the newest batch debuting in fall.

-The glowing Master of None reviews continue to pour in. I like the point this one made about how, unlike other Netflix shows, Aziz Ansari understands the value of breaking things up into episodes.

–Chris Rock talks about how he became Aziz’s mentor. “Aziz approached me. The thing about Aziz is Aziz gets what he wants, man! He goes after it, you know what I mean? My man, just goes for it.”

-Look how happy Joshua Jackson seems. Protect Pacey at all costs!

–Emily VanCamp is engaged to her Revenge costar Josh Bowman.

-I liked this article on how internet fandoms are gaming the music industry, using fan accounts on social media are finding new ways to help their favorite artists reach the top of the charts.

-So pretty much all the original cast is leaving Once Upon A Time. Why won’t ABC just let it go?

–Adam Pally and Zoe Lister-Jones try some rock therapy in the Band Aid trailer.

–Reese Witherspoon heads Home Again and romances a younger man in this new trailer.

Jennifer Lawrence Had A Meltdown on Oscar Night Due To “A Birth Control Confusion”

–Jennifer Lawrence says she had a meltdown the night she won an Oscar because she was hormonal because of “a birth control confusion,” her friend’s inability to order the right pizza, and her brother’s attempts to arm-wrestle Matthew McConaughey.  Understandable.

–JLaw says her buddy Bradley Cooper‘s butt sweats before his armpits do. Note to self: never be buddies with JLaw.

-Also, Chris Rock criticized Jennifer Lawrence’s gender pay gap remarks. “Black women have the hardest gig in show business. You hear Jennifer Lawrence complaining about getting paid less because she’s a woman — if she was black, she’d really have something to complain about.” Well, he’s not wrong.

-Meanwhile, this is what it’s like for white dudes in Hollywood.

–Jerry Seinfeld somehow scored President Obama for his new season of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. The episode is pretty great, as are the behind-the-scenes moments.

–Katy Perry and John Mayer are still together? Huh.

–Taylor Swift is getting down ‘n dirty in her “Out of The Woods” video, which premieres tonight.

–George Clooney and Julia Roberts are teaming up again for a new movie called Money Monster.

–Mariah Carey was spotted sporting a huge diamond ring, sparking engagement rumours.

-As I mentioned in our Worst TV of 2015 roundup, I hate that I keep getting sucked back into The Walking Dead, only to be disappointed. I’m making a clean break. This preview does nothing for me, so that helps. Of course, when Jeffrey Dean Morgan‘s first episode airs, all bets may be off. I’m only human!

-Today’s NY Daily News cover on Bill Cosby is awesome.

-I’m not a huge Carrie Underwood fan, but her carpool karaoke segment with James Corden was kind of great.

-I’m pleasantly surprised that the first two episodes critics have seen of Legends Of Tomorrow are getting rave reviews. It’s being compared to The Avengers (but with more sadness), and described as the best DC pilot yet.

–Rebel Wilson and Mark Strong star get their spy on in The Brothers Grimsby trailer.
