Zoe Saldana is on the January 2014 cover of Flare; inside, she spoke about the power of women (a wonderful topic that everyone should discuss more often): “Women aren’t wimpy… They can fucking save the day! They can support their whole family. They can support their men. Half of my friends make more money than their male partners.”

When asked about what it’s like to work on male dominated sets, she responded that whenever she feels minimized as a woman, she fights back. It results in “feeling really good about yourself because you stood up for yourself, you mattered, you voiced your presence.” She outlined for the magazine her usual plan of attack:

Her “heart racing and sweating buckets,” she declares, without blinking,
“I’m not happy.” And then she states her case: “I understand everything
you’re saying, but these are the terms we agreed on, and that is why I
got on a plane and came out here, and I decided to have your back, and
now I don’t feel like you’re having my back. This character is
invisible. She’s completely irrelevant, and she should be more.”

WOMYN POWER. [Flare, Bossip, Fashion Gone Rogue]

Keira Knightley recycled her wedding dress — she’s worn it thrice in its tenure as her belonging. The best part of this Dress Saga is that she wore it on the red carpet before she wore it to her wedding, which is so fun. Though, I mean, I suppose if you have a tulle Chanel Haute Couture dress just lying around, you might as well wear throw it on to get married. [The Cut]

James Franco, ever the artist and unique provocateur (???), posted some sexual Batman photos onto his Facebook fan page. One shows his chest in S&M gear and the Batman insignia. The other, which has been removed for obvious reasons, depicted the upper portion of his head, clad in a Batman mask with a semen-like substance oozing all over it. Really makes you think. [DListed]

  • Amanda Bynes has been released from rehab into the
    custody of
    her mother. According to her mother’s attorney, she’s “feeling better every
    day.” She’ll be continuing outpatient treatment, and she’s looking to apply to college to study fashion design. I
    really, really hope that she continues to recover and stay healthy. [People]
  • This picture of Kris Jenner and a hoard of her demon peers clustered around a seal isn’t new; however, apparently Joe Francis (The Worst Man In The World) frequently RENTS the poor animal to play with, which is so unacceptable and gross. [DListed]
  • Beyonce and Jay Z veganism update: the pair went to a classy vegan restaurant and Anne Hathaway and Ariana Grande were also there. WHAT ARE THE ODDS? [TMZ]
  • Here are some pictures of Prince Harry and Alexander Skarsgard on their race to the South Pole, which I still cannot believe is a real thing. People don’t talk about the South Pole Race enough. For good measure, they’ve thrown in a shirtless picture of Alexander Skarsgard from True Blood. He is probably not shirtless frequently on his race to the South Pole. [E!]
  • Kristin Davis wants a third Sex and the City movie. OK, SOMEONE HAS WRITTEN A SCRIPT ALREADY, THIS IS GREAT NEWS. [E!]
  • The list of Bachelor contestants is out. One lists her occupation as “dog lover” and one is a professional “free spirit.” [E!]
  • Kim Kardashian and Kanye West will not be getting married at Versailles 🙁 [E!]
  • They also have no idea who “Monica Warhol,” who painted that hideous picture of Kim, is. [TMZ]
  • If I read one more thing about Kris Jenner and Ben Flajnik “secretly hooking up” I am going to throw all my valuables into the ocean and roam the beaches barefoot, clad only in rags and singing a series of mournful sea shanties. [Gossip Cop]
  • Chord Overstreet, a real person with a real name, wants to go on a date with Sandra Bullock. (Chord Overstreet is on Glee). [Just Jared]
  • Justin Bieber put on a private show for a fan injured in a car crash. [MTV]
  • In less heart-warming Bieber news, an Australian mayor has told the young man that he must either return to the country and clean up his graffiti or sing Christmas carols for him. It’s like the worst fairy tale ever. [Perez Hilton]
  • Phil Collins is writing songs again. [Billboard]
