Allison Williams Speaking at Yale in Impossible-To-Get-Into Event

Lest we forget that actress, newsman progeny and occasional BCBG shopper Allison Williams exists while Girls is between seasons, she and her boyfriend College Humor founder Ricky Van Veen are giving an "intimate" talk at Yale — Williams was Class of '10 — about "TV, film, and the Internet." Perhaps misleadingly, it's…
Trailer for Saving Mr. Banks, the Making-of-Mary Poppins Movie Is Here
We've got Tom Hanks as Walt Disney and Emma Thompson as Mary Poppins creator P.L. Travers in a film from The Blind Side director, John Lee Hancock — is it Oscar season yet? Well, maybe not, but the movie comes out in December, so there's plenty of time to shove it down everyone's throat with a spoon full of sugar.
Why You Should Never, Ever Trust Tom Hanks Under Any Circumstance
In a stirring coup for people who want to hate the president but don't want to actually think about any stuff ever, the venerable Reader's Digest did a poll (BINDING) and discovered that Tom Hanks—not Barack Obama, like you totally thought!!!—is the #1 most trusted man in America. Where did the stupid president come…
Beyonce Doesn't Like Labels But 'I'm a Modern-Day Feminist, I Guess'
While she's been a lightning rod for claims of both feminism and anti-feminism (particularly since announcing her Mrs. Carter World Tour), Beyoncé has tended in the past to steer clear of the F-word that's put so many female celebrities in the hot seat. Until now, at least. Bey tells Vogue UK in a cover interview for…
Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom Raise Millions for Charity, Don't Give a Dime to Charity
Cathy's Kids, the charity Lamar Odom founded in honor on his mother to "help underprivileged kids and raise money for cancer research", has raised over 2.2 million dollars. Excellent news! The not so excellent news? Not a single penny of that money has gone to underprivileged kids or to fight cancer.
The Kardashian Christmas Card Looks Like a Tampon Ad
I think it was Tolstoy who wrote, "Happy families are all alike, but Kardashians are all different kinds of bacterial strains of fame-grubber." Here is their Christmas card, which features dearly departed Persian kitten Mercy (RIP) sitting unhappily in something that looks like it came from Ikea and is maybe called a…
Celebrity Trainer Tracy Anderson Thinks Most Postpartum Women Are Fatasses
Just days after Us Weekly editor Janice Min urged the public to stop the single-minded "mom shell" mentality—criticizing celebrities like Hilary Duff and Bryce Dallas Howard for not dropping postpartum weight fast enough—it should come as no surprise that the woman that Goop Paltrow credits for getting rid of her…
Kanye West Creates Franken-Ring For Kim Kardashian Proposal
Picture, if you will, Kanye West swimming in a vault of precious stones a la Scrooge McDuck; after girlfriend Kim Kardashian's divorce from Kris Humphries is finalized, 'Ye apparently plans to propose with a one-of-a-kind ring made from his late mom Donda's personal jewelry collection. He visited a private jeweler…
Tom Cruise Viewed as a 'Complete God' Within Scientology; Outside Scientology Just a Short Guy with Kinda Weird Energy
I swore I wasn't going to lead with any Tomkat news today (because oops my brain liquefied from boredom and dripped out my ear all gross), but then the other celebrities had to go and be HELLA UNEVENTFUL. Blame all non-Tomkat celebrities, not me. Anyway, an ex-Scientologist lady told E! that Tom Cruise is "viewed as a…
Rita Wilson Makes The Music Videos Your Mom Would Make If She Were Happy
Most of us know her as either Grown-Up Chrissy on Now And Then or Tom Hanks' beloved volleyball of 24 years, but actress Rita Wilson also played Roxie Hart in the Chicago revival on Broadway. Her talent as a songstress will be revealed this May on her first solo album AM/FM, featuring '60s and '70s classics, a.k.a.…
Stefon Explains the Football Jellyfish
Even though Tom Hanks was on hand to lend a little legitimacy to the sketch comedy proceedings last night, Jonah Hill's second go-round hosting Saturday Night Live was mostly unfunny. I say mostly, of course, because Stefon dropped by the Weekend Update desk to tell everyone about the most off-putting New York clubs,…
Ouch, Katy Perry Unfollowed Russell Brand on Twitter
First we dealt with the painful shock that Katy Perry and Russell Brand's marriage had fallen apart, and now comes word that @katyperry has officially unfollowed @rustyrockets. Alas, parting is such tweet sorrow! The worst part of this digital divorce is that her estranged hubby is still following her. Awkward.
Tom Hanks' Latest Historical Mini-Series: The History Of The Pop Tart
I'll say it again: Tom Hanks is a national treasure. Here's a clip from his appearance on the Late Show, in which he pokes fun at his habit of making historical mini-series on HBO by announcing his latest pet project: an 11-part series on the creation of the Pop Tart. He plays Bert Loomis, without whom we may have…
Tom Hanks Gives Impromptu, Dance-Filled Weather Report On Univision
Yesterday's episode of Univision's Despierta America featured an interview with Tom Hanks talking about his new movie. Each time he was asked a question that he couldn't quite comprehend, he kind of just ...danced it off. So, when his interview ended, he was pulled in front of the weather map and the show…
