A photo of Robert Pattinson

I have a lot of conflicting feelings about this haircut. My first thought, and I’m sure there’s a good chance it was your first thought as well, was “oh my giddy god, Robert Pattinson, you have done slashed up your beautiful Twilight hair into some monstrosity that I can’t even start to comprehend.” And then, my second thought, the one that came from the deepest, darkest corner of my heart, was “damn, that’s an attractive man.”

Ok, stick with me on this. Even though I’ve recently grown to love Robert for what’s on the inside, I’ve never seen him as a particularly beautiful man. But with this new haircut, at least the parts that are cropped real close, I can start to see what all the Twihards see in him. And that’s a little scary to me, but I guess I’m just going to go ahead and see where this new level of appreciation takes me.

Oh, and in case you were worried about Robert Pattinson’s mental state, this goofy ass haircut is for a movie. It’s not a personal choice, which I think makes it just a little more attractive. Please forgive me for that.

A photo of Prince William and Kate Middleton

Ok, it technically wasn’t just a play date, it was the inaugural ‘BAFTA Brits to Watch’ event, and its purpose was to “highlight the incredible depth and range of great British talent currently emerging in film, television and video games,” but between me and you, I think that’s just some highfalutin reasoning for a bunch of American celebrities to get to meet some real live royalty.

If you look through the gallery, you can see that it’s divided into three different categories: there’s some traditional red carpet coverage, where you can see Jennifer Lopez looking preposterous, Kate Middleton looking stunning, and Blake Lively looking pregnant, then there’s the part with bizarre celebrity pairings (I’m not going to pretend that the picture of Blake Lively with Quentin Tarantino isn’t going to give me nightmares), and then there’s my personal favorite, the part where Kate and William make friends with everyone! I think Nicole Kidman is their favorite, don’t you?

A photo of Victoria Beckham and Kate Hudson

Yesterday, Kate Hudson gave birth to a healthy little baby boy. No word yet on the name, but for now I’m sure we can get by with imagining the baby’s father and Kate’s fiance, Matthew Bellamy of Muse, singing the kid some lullabyes. Doesn’t that sound nice?

You know what sounds nicer? This morning, Victoria Beckham gave birth to her little girl! Girlfriend is healthy, weighing in at seven pounds and ten ounces – the baby, not Victoria, LOL! – and, considering her parents, I’m sure she’s the most darling thing. And of course, there’s no name yet, but I don’t think that really matters because I’m calling the girl Santa any time I need to refer to her.

What’s next, world of celebrity babies? Please, oh please, let it be that Paris Hilton is pregnant with the antichrist. Please.

A photo of Daniel Radcliffe

I honestly can’t get over how completely precious Daniel Radcliffe is to me. And not in an “oh my gosh, I want to bang The Boy Who Lived” way (wouldn’t that be so weird?), in an “oh my gosh, I want to put this boy in my pocket and carry him around with me for always and dress him up in little suits and have him talk to me in his little voice and just love him to pieces!” way. Is that a common thought?

Anyway, my particular brand of “oh my gosh” thoughts for Daniel just got a little stronger today, because it turns out that since he doesn’t have to spend the next decade being Harry Potter, he’s going to have a bit of free time. And he’s thinking about spending it in college:

He said: “I watch a huge amount of stuff on the Discovery Channel and have started considering doing an Open University course because I’m becoming more and more fascinated by archaeology.

“So yes, as sad as I am to say goodbye to Harry, I’m really excited to see what the future holds.”

Can you just imagine little Daniel out there, digging through ruins, looking for artifacts with his little bitty hands? Couldn’t you just die?!

A photo of Jennifer Love Hewitt

I know this isn’t a complete travesty of a look, ok? At least not for Jennifer Love Hewitt, who has worn way worse on the regular. So with this particular post, I’m not trying to say that she looks horrible, I’m not saying that she should see if her closet can take her to Narnia because the only way it could do her any favors would be to transport her to another realm altogether. I’m just saying that, hot damn, this girl’s fashion has taken a notable step backward.

Remember just last week when Sarah showed you guys pictures of Jennifer in that tight little red dress? And it clung to her banging hips and you all talked about what a fabulous ass she had? Right, now look at this picture, that one up there with the moderately frumpy silhouette and the stupid hair. Don’t you just feel cheated?

That’s what we’re loving or leaving here, friends. The feeling of betrayal that Jennifer Love Hewitt has left us with. Tell me how you feel about it.

A photo of Emma Stone

Oh, I’m sorry, you thought I was going to say a single negative word about the young adult ginger lady love of my life, Emma Stone? You thought you were going to be able to go a few more weeks without listening to me gush about how wonderful she is? Well, you thought wrong, you old crazies!

Here are some lovely highlights from her interview with The Advocate:

When did you become aware of your gay following?
When The House Bunny came out, and it was incredibly exciting. That support is profoundly important and moving to me, because you guys are the best. I grew up with a ton of gay friends and witnessed their struggles. One of the most wonderful things about doing Easy A was that we got to tackle issues that many gay teenagers face.

Did you anticipate the extent to which Easy A would resonate with the gay audience?
Our writer, Bert V. Royal, is gay, and these were issues that he had actually experienced growing up, so we knew that would resonate. But when the movie came out last summer, media coverage of gay teen suicides was everywhere. Because the movie came out right in the eye of that storm, the timing ended up being more relevant and poignant than we anticipated.

Who’s the most important gay person in your life?
I did a lot of theater growing up, and I was lucky to be raised in a family that was very accepting, so someone being gay was never odd or off-putting to me. I have a lot of wonderful gay friends, but one of the most formative men in my life is Max, who’s been my best friend since I was 11 years old. He’s the funniest human being on the planet, and he single-handedly taught me how to do improv. He also taught me what friendship is and what it is to truly know someone. Now we both live in New York, so we’ve been able to stay close for our whole lives.

In the Crazy, Stupid, Love. trailer, your character admires Ryan Gosling’s shirtless torso and says, “It’s like you’re photoshopped!” Since you got closer to all that than most of us ever will, what else can you share?
Well, I got to touch it too, so I can confirm that he isn’t photoshopped at all. He put in all the hard work, and it will not disappoint you.

Instead of boy-crazy girly girls, you often play these strong, independent women with an edgy tomboy quality, which has certainly endeared you to lesbian fans.
Really? Oh, I’m so flattered. The tomboy quality is probably coincidental just due to the fact that my voice hits male octaves most of the time. I don’t really think about it — I just respond to what I read — but I must be subconsciously drawn to women who, even if they don’t necessarily have their shit together, are secure within themselves and don’t need a man to fix them.

Are you a tomboy or a girly girl in real life?
It depends on the day. I’m a solid party mix of both.

A lesbian role seems like a logical next step for you.
Right? Send me over a good script. That sounds amazing.

Which gay star would you play in a biopic?
Can I play a man? Anthony Perkins would be interesting, because it was kind of a secret thing.

You also seem guarded when it comes to your personal life. But as you become more and more famous, people naturally want to know more about you and whom you’re dating. How do you navigate that?
I’ve tried to figure out how to be honest and totally myself while not giving away those things that are most sacred to me. I’m afraid that if I ever expose those parts of my life, it will just open up a floodgate of more speculation. So I don’t ever want to talk about relationships or family in interviews. That would be like meeting a stranger for the first time and telling them all that stuff.

When you guested on Chelsea Lately, Chelsea Handler asked if you had a girlfriend when you evaded her question about having a boyfriend. You responded sarcastically, but I got excited for a second.
No, I don’t have a girlfriend. But who knows? You love who you love.

Do you have a girl crush?

Christina Hendricks. It’s a no-brainer. Everything about her does it for me. That’s my kind of woman.

Between Emma’s precious heart and the images of her fondling my beloved Ryan Gosling and crushing on my girl, Christina Hendricks, and playing Anthony Perkins in a biopic, I’m pretty much spent for the day. See you guys back here in the AM, all right?
