Ordinarily, one man's efforts to promote his movie wouldn't make for headline news, but Joseph Gordon-Levitt interview on NPR this morning was so frank and intelligent that it definitely bears mentioning. Don Jon, JGL's debut film as a director, opened this weekend. The movie's about how one porn-addicted, New…

Real Housewife turned great American author Melissa Gorga thinks it's just "disgusting" that some people think her new book is promoting marital rape. Marital rape is just, like, subtext. Why don't you learn some reading comprehension, internet? Melissa Gorga has nothing but contempt for your dismal SAT scores.

It was really just a matter of time before Rihanna's notorious Instagram account helped police solve an international crime, wasn't it? There's always so much going on in her pictures, from giant spliff-lighting to exotic-animal caressing — eventually, one of those Instagrams was going to reveal, Blow-Up-style, a…

Not only has Jon "Davy Crockett" Gosselin dropped off the grid somewhere in rural Pennsylvania, there's a rumor going 'round that he just recently took a break from waiting tables to threaten a photographer with a gun after that photographer accidentally/on purpose followed him on his property. To the TMZ rumor…

Paula Deen, the erstwhile TV chef and shiller of fine Teflon goods, finally had a good weekend since all that unpleasantness back at the beginning of the summer, thanks to the tolerance folks in Texas have for celebrity racism.

I'll be honest: sometime around the monkey-abandoning incident in Germany, I hopped aboard the Justin Bieber hatemobile, which is basically just an overloaded jalopy driven by a foul-tempered orangutan named #1JoostinHatrr (apes can't spell). I was convinced we were watching the very public entropy of a…

Anyone who's worried about Charlie Hunnam's boner getting stage fright on the set of the Fifty Shades movie better think again, because Charlie Hunnam's boner is unflappable. More than that — it's a veteran boner, having done a tour of duty in Queer as Folk more than a decade ago.

Remember how Washington Post lecher Richard Cohen took it upon himself to link Miley Cyrus's gif-spawning performance at the VMAs to the Steubenville rape case, because someone needed to light the moral gas lamp and totter around the WaPo's op-ed page, grasping at sensationalistic straws? Well, rapper Angel Haze…

Today in IRONY: The Magazine Dedicated to Anecdotal Instances of Celebrities Getting Hoisted by Their Own Petards & Other Comical Juxtapositionings, Ted Nugent's gun-enthused spouse Shemane Nugent was detained Friday at a Dallas-area airport for trying to go through a security checkpoint with a loaded gun. Public…

Last night, the Church of Scientology held its 44th Anniversary Gala — nicknamed the "huh, I didn't realize that person was a Scientologist" mixer — in Los Angeles. Tom Cruise was apparently busy piloting Xenu's personal DC-8 into the far reaches of the galaxy, but Scientology backup quarterback John Travolta was…

In what must, must, MUST someday be turned into a future Curb Your Enthusiasm episode, Barack Obama, President of These United States, played golf on Martha's Vineyard with Larry David. It was no doubt an awkward experience, perhaps made more awkward by Real-Life George Costanza's gentle suggestion that he'd always…

Despite some fairly compelling evidence to the contrary, Katie Couric insists that the gift card she sent to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West wasn't some passive aggressive Hollywood mean girl gesture of abiding cynicism — Katie Couric love, love, LOVES Kim Kardashian, or K-Dash Prime, as Katie refers to her when they're…

You know, there were plenty of super-important celebrity news stories we could kick this morning off with (K-Fed got married! and Angelina Jolie's kids are unimpressed by their mom's cinematic villainy!), and while I'm quite sure we're all familiar with the vicissitudes of morning talk show fate that paired…

Now that Lindsay Lohan's body is a sacred, booze-free temple of sobriety and prudence, she has plenty of energy left to snark on Kristen Stewart's acting talents. During a much-hyped hosting stint on Chelsea Lately (which will air tomorrow night, August 5), Lohan poked fun at K-Stew's recent paparazzi run-in, which…

Tara Reid — an actor, AN ACTOR! — has finally hit rock-bottom in her Tobias Fünke-like career, with news that the producers of Sharknado will not be asking her back for Sharknado 2: Twist and Shout (speculative title). As you no doubt have failed to remember, Tara Reid's character survived the massive shark weather…

If you don't like having comic book movie plots spoiled years in advance, this year's Comic-Con probably wasn't for you. If, however, you enjoy seeing Ian McKellen try to literally charm the pants off of his X-Men: Days of Future Past co-star Michael Fassbender, then this year's Comic-Con was probably the best thing…

Kate Moss's licensed collection of cell phone and tablet accessories may be one of the most random celebrity branding ventures we've ever heard of, but it is also inoffensively nice-looking. The brand is an anchor, like that tattoo Moss has on her wrist. [DM]

Paper's Mickey Boardman has a few choice words about the celebrities he's worked with for covers over the years. Apparently, Prince, Lindsay Lohan, and Mariah Carey were all professional and easy-going. Marisa Tomei and Ben Stiller, on the other hand, were not. And as for Nicki Minaj, who appeared on the Spring,…

That time Karlie Kloss and the members of Daft Punk were spotted on the streets of Manhattan wasn't for a Saint Laurent campaign — it was a Vogue shoot, and the results are in the magazine's new issue. It's one of those annoying "clothing for every age" editorials where they style a 20-year-old model in a long dress…
