Chrissy Teigen Can Fix Your Life

Chrissy Teigen Porter Cover

-In her PorterEdit digital cover story, Chrissy Teigen talks social media regrets (“Everything ‘big’ I’ve ever said was just heat of the moment and sometimes very regrettable. I just pop off too quick”) and her tough early years as a model (“My roommates were drinking diet tea and eating cotton balls soaked in chicken broth to stay skinny. I remember my friend got a job working at a burrito restaurant and that’s all I ate for months. Free burritos”). She also appears in a cute video for them where she offers relationship advice.

-This is sad: according to Page Six, Game of Thrones star Kit Harington has been in a luxury rehab facility for stress and alcohol use for a month, checking himself in weeks before the show’s finale aired.

Chris Hemsworth is on the cover of Variety, where he reveals he nearly quit Ghostbusters: “The night before I was shooting, I almost pulled out. Three or four weeks prior, Paul [Feig] said to me, ‘I’m going to write up the character. Don’t worry.’ And then I got the script and nothing had changed…I was really scared walking onto that set. I had no real plan, so I was just feeding off of them, and I just felt ridiculous. So I used that.”

Mandy Moore has made it to Mt. Everest’s base camp. It’s been an exceptionally deadly month on the mountain so I’m glad she’s fine. Now get back down already!

-The View cut off the audio for Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg‘s comments on Trump today for extended portions of the broadcast.

-The latest season of Legends of Tomorrow is now on Netflix and you should all watch it because it’s a loopy delight! I mean, any show where a dude’s nipple turns evil and starts possessing him deserves a shot. (I agree with Sepinwall’s take — skip season one completely.)

Iggy Azalea is planning on pressing charges after stolen topless photos (which were reportedly outtakes from a 2016 GQ Australia shoot) leaked over the weekend.

-Netflix’s Ted Sarandos says the streamer will rethink its massive investment in Georgia if the heartbeat abortion law goes into effect.

-This Atlanta outtake of the boys dancing to TLC made my day.

-ABC has officially passed on renewing Whiskey Cavalier after briefly reconsidering. Cancellations are always rough, but it feels like they handled this whole thing especially poorly.

-On an episode of David Letterman’s Netflix talk show, Ellen DeGeneres revealed she was sexually assaulted as a teenager by her stepfather. “He told me when she was out of town that he’d felt a lump in [my mother’s] breast and needed to feel my breasts because he didn’t want to upset her, but he needed to feel mine. I’m angry at myself because, you know, I didn’t — I was too weak to stand up to — I was 15 or 16. It’s a really horrible, horrible story and the only reason I’m actually going to go into detail about it is because I want other girls to not ever let someone do that.”

Neil Patrick Harris, Ruby Rose, Janet Mock, Anderson Cooper, Wilson Cruz, and Melissa Etheridge are on the cover of EW’s new Pride issue.

-I’m surprised by the surprise that Booksmart didn’t crack $10M at the box office this weekend. What exactly did people expect a small indie to take in while up against Aladdin and superheroes? And blaming it all on marketing seems really weird — I saw a LOT of stuff about this movie before its release (unlike Fast Color, which the studio seems to be burying). It seemed to be more of an issue of choosing the worst possible release date + not really knowing their target demo (who was the constant “it’s Superbad but with girls!” talk supposed to resonate with?) + the decision to open it wide out of the gate instead of a slower rollout to build word of mouth.

-I didn’t exactly love the Killing Eve season finale, but man people are mad about it!

-This is a good profile on Mischa Barton, whose TV show helped inspire the reality TV she’s now a part of.

-Here are the early contenders for song of the summer. (I belted out “Old Town Road” with my uber driver the other day, so that gets my vote.)

-I don’t even watch Deadwood but I will devour every Timothy Olyphant interview about it because he’s just so game. He talks about his former costars who aren’t in the new movie coming to the set anyway.  “[Garret] Dillahunt snuck in. He played Drunk Number Two! He didn’t even get top drunk! [Laughs.] Talk about a reason to call your agent. ‘Hey, why am I not Drunk Number One?'”

Jessica Jones’ final season teaser has arrived. It drops on Netflix June 14.

Jake Gyllenhaal Gets Grumpy in Esquire

Jake Gyllenhaal is so very pretty and laid back looking in Esquire UK’s photo spread. He’s less laid back and more defensive in the accompanying interview, unfortunately. (Though the way the writer makes a big deal over how he pronounces Denis Villeneuve‘s first name — correctly, btw — makes me wonder if he had reason to have his back up.)

-Also in that article, the director of Southpaw says Jake Gyllenhaal broke up with Alyssa Miller so he could focus on learning boxing for the film.

-Eminem’s dropped a new song for the Southpaw movie.

Caitlyn Jenner‘s full Vanity Fair profile is now online, and it’s definitely worth your time. If you don’t have any, here are the most poignant quotes.

-Meanwhile, Vanity Fair pulled a Beyoncé to keep their cover under wraps.

-I only watched the first few episodes of Community this season, but everyone’s raving about the season (probably series) finale that dropped this week (and the season as a whole), so I guess I need to catch up.

Iggy Azalea got engaged to Nick Young (there’s even video) but all anyone can talk about is how her ring looks like the one Meek Mill gave Nicki Minaj.

-Calling Katharine McPhee’s look at the CFDAs as “flavorful as wet bread” might be the best Fug Girls’ diss of all time.

-Speaking of the CFDAs, Kim Kardashian‘s dress caught on fire, and Pharrell and his wife put it out. Sorry, Kim. Caitlyn still trended higher than you.

-It was a night for wardrobe malfunctions at the CFDAs. Chrissy Teigen‘s slit in her dress ripped 5″ higher than it was supposed to be.

-Also, did the CFDAs kick off Julianna Marguliesunspoken apology tour?

Chris Pratt’s Essex accent is so good, even Jude Law was impressed.

-Fox is planning a Prison Break reboot? Who wants that?! (And that’s coming from someone who was a big fan.) But we already have the Wentworth Miller/Dominic Purcell reunion on The Flash. Also, they’re going to be busy in Legends of Tomorrow. And one of them died in the finale! Enough with the reboots, networks. Enough.

-I feel like I’ve already been really mean to Entourage on Twitter today, but the Honest Trailers take on it is too good not to share.

Hayley Atwell called out a magazine for photoshopping her because she’s a unicorn wrapped in a rainbow wrapped in a likability vortex.

Johnny Depp tried not to be an asshole in Australia (for once).

-In totally unsurprising news, Shonda Rhimes just landed a book deal.

Pixar’s The Good Dinosaur already looks so much better than Jurassic World.

David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson Kiss, Sing, Melt the Internet.

David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson were together for the upfronts and they decided to keep the party going by having her be the surprise guest at his NYC gig. Suddenly, my Tumblr and Twitter feeds were full of the MSR tag like old times. There’s video here and here if you feel the need to release some squees today. Sigh. This is just like when they moved in together for a bit after her marriage ended and the fandom exploded and my fictional ship momentarily became my real ship and it was super confusing…

Tom Hardy name-dropped The Littlest Hobo in an interview and my ovaries just exploded.

This warning that was sent to parents at a Brooklyn nursery school where Lindsay Lohan will complete her court-ordered community service there is classic.

Adam Sandler’s sweet musical tribute to David Letterman couldn’t come at a better time for him.

-Asked by Variety about playing a lesbian in her new movie, Cate Blanchett says she’s had relationships with women in the past “many times” but never thought about labeling herself. Just in case you didn’t already think she was a BAMF.

Amy Schumer destroys late-night starlet interviews in new sketch. The fact that her legs get shinier with every passing minute until they’re literally gold slays me.

-Are we really believing that Bradley Cooper will appear periodically in CBS’s new remake of Limitless? Like, really?

-Speaking of CBS, how weird is it that they’d Supergirl on Mondays in the fall, up against Gotham. Someone at DC is not going to be happy about that…

-The ABC upfronts turned into a weird, all-star dance party.

-Vanity Fair has a juicy read about the backstage struggles to save The View.

-Center Stage turns 15 today. I have watched that movie a stupid amount of times and it’s ruined me for ballet. (Did you know that when you go to a real ballet, there’s no on-stage motorcycles or physically impossible costume changes? What gives?!)

-The Vampire Diaries cast and crew pranked Nina Dobrev on her last day on set by “caking” her. That sounds delicious.

-Also, Nina bid a touching goodbye to her character in EW.

Anna Kendrick played Egg Russian Roulette with Jimmy Fallon and things got icky.

-I’m not loving the character art for Lupita Nyong’o in Star Wars, but maybe I’m just bitter that she’s CGI’d.

-On the plus side, Lupita opened Cannes looking fierce.

Jeremy Piven somehow found a way to make the Entourage press tour even more annoying. He’s doing his interviews in character.

-The girl who plays Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter movies is dating the guy who played James Potter. Franchise synergy!

-In defending SNL against plagiarism accusations from This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Michael Che has pissed off a lot of Canadians.

Britney Spears and Iggy Azalea team up for their new ‘Pretty Girls’ music video.

-Marvel debuted an extended Ant-Man spot during Agents of SHIELD last night with lots of new footage.

-I know I probably shouldn’t be surprised that the Jem and the Holograms trailer is so, so bad — but this is exceptionally terrible, no?
