Generation Y is the reason Jack Nicholson can't have nice things. The Dads creators defend racism because upsetting entire ethnic groups is super LOLs y'all! And Spike Lee keeps raking in grants even though he has begged us all for millions.
Mark Wahlberg could have been your classmate if you were a graduating senior this year; Jimmy Kimmel is a C.R.E.A.M. loyalist—except that for Kimbo, Costco Rules Everything Around Him; and Julie Chen, despite her best efforts to be a white girl, still just looks Chinese.
Hotshot young production/distribution company A24 has been making waves in a little over a year for breaking down the barrier between indie films and multiplexes. They're the team behind critical darlings like Spring Breakers, The Bling Ring, Ginger and Rosa, and The Spectacular Now. But even better than their films? Their genius social media strategy for A24 itself.
The fall is upon us: the leaves are turning brown, the children are turning smarter, and if you listen very, very closely you can hear the collective snap of a thousand child-proof caps of Xanax bottles being popped open by anxious TV executives all along Ventura Boulevard. So what's going to die? What's going to survive? What's going to thrive? Let's take a look.
Katy Perry has incurred the wrath of her former supporters at PETA; SNL Weekend Update will be hosted by the girl hawking Moey Chambam; and Aaron Paul is having more fun than everyone else ever.
NextMovie just released this infographic of the 15 wealthiest movie directors, and with the exception of Lana Wachowski (who is part of a directing team with her brother Andy Wachowski), every single director is a male. With the exception of Tyler Perry, every single director is white. Your move, Hollywood.
Nicole Kidman got knocked down but she got up again cuz you ain't never gonna keep her down; The CW was already (no sarcasm here) stretching the bounds of enjoyable and emotional programming (looking at you Hart of Dixie!) and now is fantastically tackling being a transgender teen; Jew thinks making fun of Jew things is okay because he's a Jew.
Ah, young love. The biggest anxiety for two kids getting together used to be missing phone calls. Then it shifted to agonizing over witty email repartee and text message reply rate. Now in today's world, modern love is even more arbitrary: a complex technological jungle of ephemeral photo messages, carefully curated dating profile selfies, and a hope and a prayer for a swipe to the right. But two star-crossed lovers are here to remind us all that, no matter the medium, romance definitely isn't dead. They are former iCarly star Jennette McCurdy and Detroit Piston center Andre Drummond.

Given that our nation has nothing else majorly important to focus on right now, it's easy to get swept up in Miley mania and wonder where it all went so wrong. But before we chalk this all up to Miley just bein' Miley, it's important to remember that someone showed her the way—America's ginger sweetheart, Lindsay Lohan. So just who is taking the crown for baddest bitch of this millennium?
Poor fans of Nirvana (okay, so just Courtney Love), today is your lucky day; bitches be fightin' over at Universal; and Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon have reached the point of oversaturation.
Have you spent a decade carrying umbrellas and argyle socks on you at all times, just in case Diddy needs a new valet? Missed your chance to star on I Want To Work For Diddy? Fear no more, Diddy just issued this ridiculous casting call for on-air talent for his latest venture, Revolt TV.
September is upon us, and that can only mean one thing: You can stop pretending you know what people mean when they say "If Chip Kelly's offense stays healthy, Shady is going to be explosive this season!" and go back to talking about God's work—network television. To help you avoid embarrassing yourself at the office Keurig predicting the season's first cancellation—you need a better answer than Dads, it's not June anymore, c'mon—here are some of the best and juiciest rumors we've been hearing:
