Blake Lively Draws Louboutins Onto Her Feet

–Blake Lively badly photoshopping a pair of shoes onto her feet is the content I needed today. She posted “@louboutinworld are you hiring? Barefoot iPhone doodler with vast experience avail.”

-Oh goodie. Now Josh Brolin has weighed in on Chris Pratt, complaining about the “global hate hand job” everyone’s giving his costar. Why won’t they stop?

-Just in case you thought 2020 couldn’t get weirder, Daniel Kaluuya confirmed his live-action Barney movie is really happening and it will be darker than the OG TV show. “Barney taught us, ‘I love you, you love me. Won’t you say you love me too?’ That’s one of the first songs I remember, and what happens when that isn’t true?”

–Matthew McConaughey says he was sexually abused as a teenager in his new memoir Greenlights, writing “I was blackmailed into having sex for the first time when I was 15. I was certain I was going to hell for the premarital sex. Today, I am merely certain that I hope that’s not the case.” He also mentions an incident when he was “molested by a man when I was 18 while knocked unconscious in the back of a van.” Still, he remained an optimist. “I’ve never felt like a victim. I have a lot of proof that the world is conspiring to make me happy.”

–Justin Bieber says he’s not slowing down his support of Black Lives Matter. “I am a white Canadian and I will never know what it feels like to be an African American. [W]hat I do know is I am willing to stand up and use my voice to shine [a] light on racism.”

–Dominic West‘s wife has gone to Ireland on a “work trip.” Uh huh.

–Miranda Lambert‘s new music video has a surprising costar: her husband’s abs.

-I have no interest in ever watching another movie based on a video game again, but Tom Holland is sure working that henley in the first photo from Uncharted.

–Lake Bell and Scott Campbell have called it quits after 7 years of marriage.

-The 100 showrunner is now blaming his much-maligned final season on the network, saying the head of the CW told him to make the show darker. Did he also tell him to kill off beloved characters in throwaway scenes that made zero sense?

–Kristen Bell will star in and exec produce in Netflix’s The Woman in the House, a thriller series about a woman nursing a broken heart who possibly witnesses her neighbor murder someone.

–Noah Cyrus wore a sheer bodysuit (ala Britney in the “Toxic” video) to the CMTs. That went over about as well as you’d expect.

-The cover of Cicely Tyson’s memoir is stunning. It’s a portrait taken by Lord Snowden.

-CBS’ and Trump have been in a pissing contest all day that includes a lot of early clip releases from his 60 Minutes interview that’s airing Sunday.

-The more we hear about the Synder cut, the more it’s clear that this thing never actually existed.

-Wait, so Netflix has reportedly renewed Steve Carell’s Space Force but keeps cancelling shows people actually like? WTF?

-The trailer for the Netflix film The Prom has dropped, starring Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, Kerry Washington, and James Corden. How many times am I going to get sucked into watching a Ryan Murphy joint and instantly regret it? At least one more, apparently.

Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson Get Matching Tattoos

–Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson moved into a $16 million NYC apartment.  They also got more matching tats. What is this life?

-In her Rolling Stone cover story, Cardi B says she plans to take her baby on the road on her upcoming tour with Bruno Mars: “I don’t want to miss one second. I don’t want to miss no smiles, I don’t want to miss no new movement, I don’t want the baby to confuse me and the babysitter.” She also sounds off on Trump: “He has proven himself to be a madman so many times, and proven himself to be disrespectful to women, and that still hasn’t gotten him impeached.”

-On Watch What Happens Live, Andy Cohen asked Cher for a list of her best lovers over the years and she put Tom Cruise “in the top 5.” Well.

-Jeebus. Whatever you think Chris Hardwick did or did not do to Chloe Dykstra, his subsequent behaviour following her essay has been repugnant. First there was his gaslighting, victimized denial.  And now “somebody” has leaked private texts between the two to TMZ, which show that he broke up with her and she tried to reconcile.  What in the world did he expect this to prove? She was already clear in her essay that she kissed another man when they were together, which caused their split. And anyone who thinks that women who’ve been manipulated and abused don’t have complicated relationships with their manipulator and/or don’t often get sucked back in, needs to talk to more women IRL.

-Meanwhile, it’s very telling that so few people who know or worked for Hardwick have jumped to his defense. I’ve seen lots of verifieds back up Dykstra, but not one tweet from a blue checkmark that says anything along the lines of “wow, this really doesn’t line up with what I know of him.” And last night The Wrap posted an article which quoted a bunch of his colleagues and former employees, and the general consensus seems to be “nobody’s surprised.”

–George and Amal Clooney have donated $100K to help reunite migrant children who’ve been separated from their parents.

–Judd Apatow is calling for a total boycott of Fox and urging entertainers who work for Fox movies and TV to speak out — and many have, including New Girl showrunner Liz Meriwether, Marti Noxon, You’re The Worst showrunner Stephen Falk, and actor Adam Scott. But some of the celebs who are staying silent are surprising.

-I am very glad that this New York Times interview with Josh Brolin on his blockbuster moment doesn’t shy away from his history of domestic violence with Diane Lane. The fact that the “summer of Brolin” coincides with #MeToo is deeply odd. Not surprisingly, he skirts the issue. “God, I’ve never been so careful with my words. Ever. Maybe in all 50 years. And there’s no reason for me to be other than there’s no explaining it. Do you know what I mean? The only person who can explain that would be Diane, and she’s chosen not to, so I’m O.K. with that.”

-Oh, he also just signed on to do a show on Hulu. Ok.

-I can’t believe this is what Justin Bieber is looking like these days. How? When? How?

-Amy Adams talked about being mistaken for her stand-in on her new HBO show, and being shocked by how differently she was treated when they thought she was someone else.  “At one point somebody grabbed me really hard and pulled me. I went, ‘What’s going on?’ And they’re like ‘(Gasp) You’re not Reb!'”

-Grey’s Anatomy star Jesse Williams has been ordered to pay $100k/month in child and spousal support.

–Busy Phillips has a book coming out! Yes, please.

-Plans for future A Star Wars Story films — including the Obi-Wan movie — have been put on hold. This seems like a good idea. Not that I doubt we won’t be getting a ton more standalone SW films soon, but after Solo a pause and regroup makes sense.

-The saga of John Travolta‘s latest box office flop Gotti keeps getting stranger. Its weird anti-critic campaign may include tampering with Rotten Tomatoes’ audience rating.

-This Felicity cast interview is delightfully bonkers. (I now want a Scott Speedman/Scott Foley sitcom based on these interactions.)

–James Van Der Beek‘s wife had a home birth for their fifth (fifth!) kid and he documented it on IG.

–Linda Hamilton and Mackenzie Davis look appropriately buff while filming Terminator 6.

-Hmmm…the latest episode of The Handmaid’s Tale comes with a warning “This episode has content that may be extra sensitive for some viewers” — but the show has become so brutal that TV critics couldn’t figure out which scene they were referring to. (Well, female critics, anyway.)

-In the trailer for the Robert Zemeckis–directed Welcome to Marwen, Steve Carell plays a man whose life is shattered after being beaten within an inch of his life by a group of Nazis. He copes with his trauma by making art out of an elaborate WWII doll village called Marwen.

–Michael B Jordan is a dad (and a daddy!) in the new Creed 2 trailer.

–Hugh Jackman is recovering after having a spot of skin cancer removed from his nose.

–Idris Elba and René Redzepi (owner of Noma, the restaurant in Copenhagen where I had the most amazing meal of my life last month) cooked together on Jimmy Kimmel’s show. My ovaries just exploded.

-In other late night news, Jennifer Lawrence told David Letterman a lovely story about repeatedly pooping her pants.

-Meanwhile, Jennifer Lawrence yelled at some photogs (clearly in jest), but now everyone’s talking about how she’s FREAKING OUT because people suck.

-Whoa whoa whoa. Both Cooper AND Charlie from Center Stage are going to be in a new TV show about ballet? Sign. Me. Up.

-In other awesome casting news, Bill Murray just signed on to star in a new HBO miniseries.

–Justin Bieber‘s concert ticket sales in Australia are weak. Has the fever finally broken?

-Meanwhile, in a new interview Justin‘s manager Scooter Braun admits that he can’t really control the pop singer anymore.

-I really liked this oral history of Good Will Hunting. Did you know that Kevin Smith saved that movie after reading the script on the toilet?

–Mark Wahlberg says if he produced Fifty Shades of Grey, he would have got Brad Pitt to star in it. Sure thing, little buddy.

–Amy Poehler, Rashida Jones and Aubrey Plaza hung out — and Anne Hathaway somehow managed to worm her way in there.

-Also, watch Amy Poehler and Jon Glaser sing a “Summer Nights” karaoke duet in a preview for Parks and Rec.

–Nick Offerman doesn’t love his moustache as much as you do.

–Kendall Jenner and Harry Styles claim they are “just friends” after being photographed together in his car. Too bad. Not caring about them as a unit takes less energy than not caring about them separately.

-Despite what I may think of him personally, Leonardo DiCaprio‘s charity work is pretty boss.

–Ron Burgundy sang to Rob Ford last night.

-Meanwhile, god bless whoever cut together the Rob Ford movie trailer using old Chris Farley clips.

–Amanda Bynes has been found mentally competent to stand trial in her DUI case.

-Lookie here: the CW is making some ratings waves. I gave up on Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD a few episodes ago, but that series could learn a lot from CW shows like Arrow, especially when it comes to staging action sequences on a tiny budget.

-How have I never watched “Losing it with John Stamos” before? Amazing. In this one, Dave Coulier talks about Alanis Morissette singing about him.

–Josh Brolin reportedly trained for seven weeks to memorize the choreography for one extended shot in Oldboy and cried after filming the scene, but it ended up getting trimmed from the final version of the film.

–Aaron Carter has filed for bankruptcy.

–Arcade Fire has released a sweet new video for ‘Afterlife,’ winning us over again after yesterday’s fancy dress shenanigans. I’m not going to lie; this video made me tear up a little ’cause it reminded me of A Better Life.

–Sarah Silverman is doing a Reddit AMA right now.  Let’s hope someone asks her about that stupid Variety critic who thinks girl comics shouldn’t work blue.

-Here’s the trailer for Twice Born, starring Emile Hirsch and Penelope Cruz.
