The cast of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 did a Q&A for kids this week, and star Andrew Garfield got a healthy dose of side-eye from Emma Stone when he answered the question of how Spider-Man got his suit in a particularly smarmy way.
Lindsay Lohan co-hosted The View Friday, after being led onstage (in Barbara Walters' words) "like a good daughter."

While I'm not particularly familiar with self-described "Bad Boy"/author Steve Santagati, he's apparently famous enough to have warranted a spot as a guest host on The View Friday.

Earlier this week, Barbara Walters decided to use her platform on The View to share her fascinating opinion that Woody Allen can't have molested Dylan Farrow because she's seen him be nice to his new children.

This entire conversation is so fucking gross. Barbara Walters announced on The View today that she's spent, like, a bunch of time around Woody Allen and his daughters and he is "as sensitive, and as loving and as caring" a father as she's ever seen.
