I will begin this with a disclaimer that may or may not be obvious given my history: I would have watched, and potentially convinced myself of the staggering brilliance of, every episode of the first television series starring Julia Roberts regardless of its content. Had it been a procedural in which she assumed the…

Because I feel compelled to bookend all moments of sincerity with jokes, this post begins with the above image and headline. “Hey,” Jackson (Bradley Cooper) is saying to Ally (Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta) in the moment captured above. “I just wanted to take another look at you.”

Congratulations are in order for Gwyneth Paltrow and her fiancé Brad Falchuck, as they are reportedly getting married this weekend “at her home” in the Hamptons! This is great news for the two of them, as well as the “close friends and family” who will likely be in attendance. (Page Six is expecting 50, while Us Weekly…

While appearing on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live last night, Naomi Campbell was asked for her thoughts on a young model named Kendall Jenner. I have no doubts that this question was planted by the folks at Bravo in order to create some viral content, but I also have no doubts that Campbell’s response was unplanned…

On March 19, 2017, the sixth episode of the sixth and final season of Girls aired for the first time. In its closing scene, Hannah (Lena Dunham) watched a short film written by, directed by, and starring her on-again/off-again boyfriend Adam (Adam Driver) and realized he’d based the entire thing on their relationship.…

What caused the big bang? Why do we have fingerprints? Why was Life Itself released? I’m sure you are all familiar with those questions and their lack of hard answers, but let me add another to that list: Why the hell did Will Smith bungee jump out of a helicopter for his 50th birthday?

The British Royal Family endured its first same-sex wedding over the weekend, and—somehow—the monarchy is still intact. Lord Ivar Mountbatten, the 53-year-old cousin of Queen Elizabeth II and great-great-great-grandson of Queen Victoria, married his longtime partner James Coyle on Saturday in Devon. In an Instagram…

Last night marked the premiere of Jerry O’Connell’s new manly Bravo talk show formerly known as Real Men Watch Bravo and currently known as Play By Play. In order to, I don’t know, drum up publicity for the new television experiment, Bravo Emperor Andy Cohen was asked to appear as a guest. While there, O’Connell and…

There is a nasty rumor going around town that must be cleared up immediately. Perhaps you’ve heard it! Perhaps you haven’t! The point is, it’s out there—in The Globe, specifically—and needs to be quashed: Kelly Ripa does not eat her cuticles, she does not think they “taste like chicken,” and her Live With Kelly and…

Demi Lovato is currently receiving treatment at a facility “renowned for its addiction programs,” and according to TMZ, Wilmer Valderrama has “put everything on hold” to be a “constant presence” over the past two months. Another optimistic sign about her recovery? They’ve been spotted out and about together at a local…

Carrie Underwood stopped by Ellen to promote her new album Cry Pretty (which will probably debut at #1 on the Billboard charts), and when asked about the accident that left her with more than 40 stitches last year, provided what might be the most candid and detailed description of what happened.

Cher is in Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again for all of 10 minutes, but her forthcoming album of ABBA covers may prove to be more culturally significant than the film that inspired it.

There’s another royal wedding in the works across the pond, but Britons won’t be coming together one Saturday afternoon to watch it together, because it’s not going to air on television.

Here’s one of those big tentpole films whose marketing begins so far in advance of release that you feel like you’ve already seen it twice in theaters, bought it on DVD, watched it again, and forgot you owned it by the time it actually opens. Mary Poppins Returns, the direct sequel to 1964’s Mary Poppins, has a full…

I know that headlines have been resembling Mad Libs for the past two years or so, but one I saw on TMZ early Monday morning is one of the most ridiculous examples in some time. TWO CELEBRITIES: Tom Arnold, Mark Burnett. PAST TENSE VERB: Choked. EVENT: Emmy’s party. RESULT: TOM ARNOLD – MARK BURNETT CHOKED ME AT…

Julie Suzanne Chen, TV host and journalist who has gone by “Julie Chen” for the entirety of her career, signed off from last night’s episode of Big Brother, the show she has hosted for 18 years, by saying, “From outside the Big Brother house, I’m Julie Chen Moonves. Good night.”

Here’s a nice shot of happiness that I would recommend injecting directly into your heart if that were possible and also not dangerous. During an appearance on Canadian talk show The Social on Wednesday, Judy Greer spoke about her longtime friendship with Jennifer Garner, who must be the nicest, most generous and…

According to a report by TMZ, Nicki Minaj has yet to pay actor Geoffrey Owens a penny of the $25,000 she pledged to donate after it was revealed that he worked part time at Trader Joe’s (which is not a bad or embarrassing thing, by the way). Not very Queen-like! (Or is it? I guess it might be, depending on the Queen.)

Some people call Drew Scott the “hot Property Brother.” Other people call Jonathan Scott the “hot Property Brother.” The show’s biggest fans think they’re equally hot! But a special few, myself included, belong to a category of people who find these improbable reality stars and aspiring country singers impossible to…

Every time I think I’m done thinking about Duchess Meghan’s extended family, they go and do something I can’t turn away from. These people—Meghan’s half-sister Samantha in particular—are so starved for the spotlight (any spotlight!) and resentful of their family member being illuminated by one of the world’s largest…
