Jimmy Fallon Tries to Redeem Himself, Fails Miserably

-NYT did a profile on Jimmy Fallon and he came off … not great. I don’t remember another attempt at damage control that made things this much worse. I gave up after the part where he talked about people being upset by his Trump interview and how “it hurt my feelings that they didn’t like it.”

-Twitter did not take kindly to the Fallon profile, either. (It also reminded me of that passage in BossyPants where Amy Poehler destroyed him.)

-Tragic: Rosario Dawson found her cousin dead in the actress’ Los Angeles home last week. No cause of death has been released.

–Taylor Swift is reportedly dating a British actor named Joe Alwyn. She’s been laying low for the past few months — I wonder if she’ll keep it on the DL or make it Instagram official?

–Katharine McPhee is denying rumours that she’s dating 67-year-old David Foster. Wait, what??

-This video of Kendall Jenner falling off a bike has 4 million views.  Well done, Internet!

–Will Smith clashed with Pedro Almodóvar over the Netflix controversy at Cannes, and I’m on Will’s side on this one. Streaming services like Netflix make diverse, worldly content easily accessible to everyone no matter where they live.

–Johnny Depp is dating again. Who? Why? How?

–James Corden is returning to host the Grammys in 2018. So basically it’s be another year of late night white dudes hosting all the award shows? Great.

-Pitch’s EP says he would like to shoot a goodbye episode. How about a goodbye three seasons?

-It was CBS’s turn at the upfronts today, where they got pissy that This Is Us has been crowned the biggest new show (it wins in the demo, but Bull actually has more total viewers), and defended the fact that all of their new fall shows have male leads. When pushed by reporters, Les Moonves said “I think we’re fine in terms of the amount of women who are behind the camera and in front of the camera.” See everyone? They’re FINE!

-CBS also announced that Star Trek Discovery takes place “10 years before Kirk, Spock, the Enterprise” and released a new photo and trailer.

-Warner Brothers insists the Justice League movie is totally fine so just ignore all those rumours that say otherwise, guys.

–Jeff Goldblum nearly became the voice of Apple’s Siri? Now that’s all I want.

-The article about The Handmaid’s Tale and how women (white women in particular) are complicit in systems of oppression is well worth a read.

-Hamilton star Daveed Diggs just got cast as the lead in a Snowpiercer TV show and I am here for it.

–Stephen Amell is going to be on the Red Nose Day edition of American Ninja Warrior next week, and this preview shows him nailing the course. All that salmon laddering came in handy.

-Is it ok for me to hate Amy Schumer’s GQ cover? Because I know she’s trying to make some sort of feminist statement with it but…I hate it.

-I assumed the cast of Agents of Shield had won the DubSmash wars with this epicness, but then Agent Carter’ Hayley Atwell made this Chris Evans-assisted one. Mic. Drop.

-One Directioner Louis Tomlinson might be a dad, and his fans are NOT handling it well.

–Rachel McAdams addressed those rumours that she’s dating Taylor Kitsch — by not really confirming or denying anything.  That’s practically a marriage proposal in Hollywood, right?

-Awesome: Kanye West will close Toronto’s Pan Am Games. Not awesome: everyone in this city is being a whiny bitch about it.

-This weird, one-legged red outfit might be the first thing Amal Clooney has worn that I absolutely hate. ‘Bout time!

–Jennifer Lawrence knows her tattoo is messed up and dumb, but at least she’s owning it.

-Meanwhile, here’s JLaw in the first trailer for David O. Russell’s Joy. I like the idea that she will only work with Bradley Cooper  from here on out. I just wish their movies were good. Or that she wasn’t always aged up so much.

-Human tire fire Jesse Eisenberg is trying to walk back his comments likening genocide with interacting with fans and being paid millions of dollars to play make believe.

-I didn’t watch Hollywood Game Night last night, but the tweets rolling in about Katharine McPhee‘s trainwreck of an appearance made me wish I had.

-Yuck. Zoe Kravitz says she was shut out of an audition for The Dark Knight Rises “because they weren’t ‘going urban.'”

-Following his recent DUI arrest, John Stamos has checked himself into rehab.

-In case you weren’t sure, Bill Cosby is done. President Obama all but called him a rapist. DONE. Like, seared and roasted and chargrilled and then put into a rocket and launched into the sun.

-Meanwhile, Judd Apatow explained why he was one of the first celebs to go after Cosby: he knows one of the victims.

–Martha Stewart interviewed Justin Bieber for Interview Mag. Let’s hope she didn’t also take the accompanying photos.

-Say what you will about Tom Cruise (and I certainly will) but this featurette on his stunts for Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation is pretty damn impressive.

-At what point are we allowed to be officially worried about Jimmy Fallon?

-Meanwhile, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler reunited on Fallon’s show last night to play True Confessions and promote their movie.

-Here’s the new trailer for Tina and Amy‘s new movie, Sisters. I. AM. SO. IN.

George Clooney Prepares to Wed Amal Alamuddin

George Clooney amal

-Preparations are in full swing at the hotel where George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin will be partying during their wedding weekend, and celebrity guest have begun to arrive, including Matt Damon, Anna Wintour and Ellen Barkin. It’s so weird; they’re being so open and un-private about it that they even have a photographer documenting the couple’s every moment. Not that I’m not looking forward to seeing every single possible shot from the wedding tomorrow, but it all feels so unClooney-like.

–Katharine McPhee hasn’t learned her lesson about not eating where you poo; she’s now dating her Scorpion costar.

-Congrats to Sam Worthington, who is expecting a baby with girlfriend Lara Bingle.

–Iwan Rheon is in a new movie in which he does a terrible Southern accent but I’ll still watch it because he’s Simon from Misfits and I love him.

–Chris’s wife Anna Faris prank-called him on Ellen, and it was hilarious/mean.

–Pornstache (nee Nick Sobotka) is reportedly dating DWTS pro Karina Smirnoff.

–Rose McGowan says a racy Rolling Stone cover made her give up Hollywood. It might be easier to take her fight against the objectification of actresses more seriously if she didn’t regularly show up to events in outfits like this.

-People Magazine should not get a racially insensitive intern to man their Twitter feed during #TGIT.

-Speaking of #TGIT, Scandal scored its biggest ratings ever, and How To Get Away With Murder tied it, proving that Shonda can open TV shows like actors open movies.

-Speaking of TV, I really loved this article about how  it’s a golden age of television criticism.

–Snooki has spawned again.

–Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow celebrated Friends’ 20th anniversary with dinner out. (Or maybe they were just celebrating a day that ended in ‘y’. Still, it’s nice to see they still hang.)

-The Fault in Our Stars got the Honest Trailer treatment, and it’s great.

–Samuel L. Jackson is giving Bill Murray a run for his money in the Celebrities You’d Want to Do Karaoke With game.

-Every episode of Gilmore Girls is now on Netflix, which has led to a lot of articles being written this week about that show. This one might be my favourite, since it points out that Lorelai and Rory were often terrible human beings. I loved that show — but I also remember completely agreeing with Mitchum Huntzberger‘s assessment of Rory.

–Victoria Beckham skipped her London store opening to deliver passionate UN speech about HIV, which is pretty boss.

–John Cusack says it’s hard out there for rich, white dudes in Hollywood. Uh huh.

-The new Jupiter Ascending trailer tells us two things: Mila Kunis has always loved dogs, and this movie might be terrible.
