Rogue One

New Beauty and the Beast Trailer

-The new Beauty and the Beast trailer is here to remind us all how weird it’s going to be to watch a live-action lion dude try to charm a young girl. We’re all getting drunk for this one, yes?

–Kim Kardashian may be confusing us about her marital status by removing and then re-adding the “West” name to her social bios, but Kanye West is doubling down by wearing a new ring stacked atop his usual gold band.

–Carrie Fisher‘s urn is shaped like a Prozac pill because even in death, she’s still awesome.

-Meanwhile, Meryl Streep reportedly sang Carrie’s favorite song, “Happy Days Are Here Again,” at the funeral.

-Coachella’s owner says he’s no longer donating to anti-LGBTQ groups. Well jeez, all is forgiven then.

–Kirsten Dunst is finding her TV niche. First she killed it in Fargo, and now she’s signed on to a cool-sounding AMC show produced by George Clooney.

–Ben Affleck was spotted on a lunch date with a mystery blonde. It may mean nothing — but no one told her that.

-If the dialogue in Rogue One sounded a bit hinky, this may be why.

–John Mayer and Dave Chappelle  are friends? Who sing Nirvana covers together? Huh.

-I thought the best thing I could hear about Chad Michael Murray was that he’s writing a romance novel — and then I saw this trailer for his new CMT original series. He’s like the gift that keeps on giving!

-More proof the TV landscape is changing: in 2016, 362 scripted series aired on broadcast TV and not a single episode wound up among the top 50 broadcasts. NOT. ONE.  (An NCIS crossover came closest.)

-Speaking of the business of TV, this is a good take on why the TCA press tour (which just started) still matters.

-The creator of the OJ: Made in America doc was bummed last year when he heard about the FX series. He’s since changed his mind. (My brother and I binged this doc over the holidays. It was so good — until the last episode, where we kept having to pause it and look up what happened on Wikipedia.)

-Wait, are Betty and Veronica together in the new Riverdale? Give me this show NOW!

–Kim Cattrall seduces her way through an Agatha Christie mystery in this Witness for the Prosecution trailer.

-A guy wants to date Britt Robertson so much, he travels from Mars to do it in the new Space Between Us trailer.

Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum Celebrate Step Up’s Anniversary

–Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum recreated their Step Up dance and I love them so much.

-The Making a Murderer case is back in the headlines, just in time for season 2. Brendan Dassey‘s conviction was just overturned by a federal judge and he could be out of prison in 90 days. This is HUGE.

–Thomas Gibson has been officially fired from Criminal Minds after kicking a writer-producer. He released a statement, but didn’t address the incident.  Good luck finding work now, buddy.

-This open letter to Zack Snyder & the Warner Bros CEO from a former employee is a crazy good read. Quality dragging. (“It’s not just DC movies, it’s your whole slate. Jupiter Ascending. Get Hard. Hot Pursuit. Max. Vacation. Pan. Point Break. Fucking PAN, you jerk. People lost their jobs and you decided Pan was a good idea.”)

-Joel Kinnaman is glad Suicide Squad’s bad reviews lowered expectations. Well…yes. Of course he is.

-How come no one told me Kevin Hart has a rap alter ego named Chocolate Droppa?!?

-I’m not sure it helps Vin Diesel‘s case to have Tyrese in his corner.

–Renée Zellweger asked people to stop talking about her face, so people just started talking about it more. It didn’t help that Hugh Grant didn’t recognize her on Watch What Happens Live.

-Holy crap. There’s a rumour that Joss Whedon will direct the Flash/Supergirl musical crossover and I’m crossing all my fingers and toes that it’s real. I still quote his Buffy musical on a weekly basis.
–Katy Perry has reportedly recorded a song called “She’s So Creepy.” Your turn, Tay-Tay.

–Miles Teller is sick of all the comments about his newly blond hair, saying “it nauseates me.” Being constantly critiqued for your physical appearance? Gee, that’s never happened to anyone else in Hollywood. Stay strong, you brave soldier.

–Adrian Grenier having a big dick explains a lot, actually.

-Everything I’m hearing about Get Down is that it suffers from the Netflix bloat and should have been edited more. But on the plus side, Jaden Smith wore this killer jacket at its premiere.

-Find a guy who talks about you like Chris Pine talks about Ben Foster.

–Mel Gibson has been granted permission to continue to withhold settlement payments to ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva over a breach of confidentiality after her 2010 Howard Stern interview. Charming. And just in time for his comeback launch.

-A new Rogue One trailer debuted last night during NBC’s Olympics coverage and revealed a whole lot more details.

-Drool. Idris Elba is on the cover of EW to promote Stephen King‘s Dark Tower. Oh, Matthew McCoanaughey is there too, I guess.

-Speaking of McConaughey, this little girl recreated his car commercial in Barbie Jeep. Bless her.

-The Wire’s Michael K. Williams was a backup dancer for Ginuwine, which makes me ridiculously happy.

–Netflix’s Stranger Things is being compared to ET, Freaks & Geeks and Stand By Me? Dammit, I’m going to have to watch this thing! #WinoForever

–Gwyneth Paltrow was at a makeup event at a store in my hood, and I got a glimpse of her (and a very blurry photo) when she and her burly security guard were leaving. Is this what it feels like to catch a Pokemon?

-Meanwhile, Gwyneth and Chris Martin are finally officially divorced consciously uncoupled.

-Another day, another article about how the Taylor Swift–Tom Hiddleston relationship could just be a giant hoax. Meanwhile, a source close to Swift insists they’re real and they’re spectacular.

-MTV’s ‘delete your account’ column continues to be a thing of beauty. This week’s target: Calvin Harris.

–Fred Savage would make a *great* cohost for Live. He was a total charmbomb when promoting The Grinder.

-41-year-old Leonardo DiCaprio was photographed kissing a 24-year-old model. That’s swell.

–Mick Jagger is about to have his eighth(!) child.

-Ghostbusters opened strong last night! I’m crossing all my fingers and toes that this movie passed the $50M mark this weekend (and am taking a gaggle of gals with me tonight to do our part).

–Hailee Steinfeld is over being a teenager with Woody Harrelson as her teacher in the redband trailer for The Edge of Seventeen.

-The entire world is freaking out over the Star Wars: Rogue One sizzle reel that was released today.
