Actress Kim Novak has finally decided to address the whole situation regarding the Oscars and the general mockery she received for showing up to present with Matthew McConaughey in a Facebook post. The 81-year-old veteran decided she was going to stop holding in her frustration and just let these bullies have it:
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.
After years of discussion and outcry (not just from this here website) about Photoshop and its potentially harmful effects on body image, two Congresswomen are actually doing something about it.

In the publishing world, Miley Cyrus is a hot ticket, so much so that magazines are fighting over her. This month, Elle and Seventeen are both releasing Miley covers — though only one was given the two-bun consent.

Parents just don't understand. In an attempt to help her get over the death of her dog Floyd, Miley Cyrus' mother went and bought her a new puppy because the only way to properly grieve death is to find a replacement. Last night Cyrus inflated a giant replica of her dog at her concert to mourn, so maybe her mother…

Time to sit down and figure out what's happening in the Crimea, America, because it's finally got something to do with self-appointed Ambassador of Twerk Miley Cyrus. She's booked to perform at a sold-out venue in Finland, but the gig could run into trouble with newly instituted U.S. sanctions on Russia.

Provocative chanteuse Miley Cyrus has done it again! Of course, by "it" I mean "taken her clothes off with the correct assumption that in response she will be rewarded with attention." This time, we get to see her boob. HER WHOLE ENTIRE BOOB.

Miley's been doing a lot of covers lately. It seems that a new one pops up almost every week while she's on tour.
