Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes would have liked to give Matthew and Lady Mary Crawley a happier ending, but wasn’t able to because Dan Stevens bailed so unceremoniously.
“I had no choice. Dan would not stay – he was determined to go. Everyone liked him and thought he was fantastic. I tried to persuade him to come back just for one episode of the next series so we could give Matthew and Mary a happy ending but he wanted to go off to America and now I believe he has a three-movie deal. He’s doing very well!”
When you translate that from Tory peer British it means “Dan Stevens is an ungrateful little douchenugget.” [Express]
Justin Theroux hides behind drapes to scare Jennifer Aniston. You heard me. Did I stutter? So no one told you that it’s gonna be this way? (Clap clap clap clap.)

“He’s constantly hiding behind drapes. And I’m constantly scared. It’s like, it doesn’t get old on me.”

We forget, amidst the Kristen Stewart hubbub, that Mary-Kate Olsen is actually the O.G. frowner. She looked unhappy in a private Knicks suite with Olivier Sarkozy, maybe because she forgot to bring the thimble she takes a nap in.
“She looked annoyed,” said a spy. “She wasn’t smiling . . . he was rubbing her back, kissing her, making all these sweet gestures.” Then, “She perked up to take a photo, and looked grumpy again.”
Later, Sarkozy reportedly “entertained” Mary-Kate at the Tribeca Ball by “doing a little dance.” Yep, sounds like these two crazy kids are gonna MAKE IT. [Page Six]
Kris, the Kris Jenner-hosted talk show you haven’t been waiting for all your life, premieres on July 15th and will run for six weeks on “selected Fox-owned stations,” attempting to prove itself for national broadcast. It also has a logo that looks like it belongs on a cereal box. Woot. [HuffPo]
Jimmy Fallon interrupted Justin Timberlake’s speech to Jessica Biel at last year’s Timberbiel Homeless Video Nuptials to crack some jokes, to J.T.’s surprise. “Interrupting the groom’s speech at the wedding reception? Cracking jokes when your buddy is looking desperately for the words to say that he hopes his wife will remember forever?” But he rolled with it, sparking a 10-minute improv that had all the guests “roaring with laughter.” (They were drunk.) And Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake lived happily ever after. [Us Weekly]
