If you missed it, please start at that link and work back by clicking PREVIOUS ARTICLE for all updates. Or scroll down and click VIEW OLDER to get caught up.
Seth MacFarlane posted yesterday on Twitter that he will not return as Oscar host:
“Traumatized critics exhale: I'm unable to do the Oscars again. Tried to make it work schedule-wise, but I need sleep. However, I highly recommend the job, as Zadan and Meron are two of the most talented producers in the business. Read Full Intro

As we saw, Justin Timberlake tried to take over Cannes the other day. Click here for a refresher. He’s at the festival as an “actor” and, in addition to promoting Inside Llewyn Davis, STARRING OSCAR ISAAC, he’s also there to hype his upcoming film Spinning Gold, a biopic of legendary producer Neil Bogart.

Tiger’s good luck charm
My ma always says -- some people bring you good luck, and other people will suck away all your luck. Chinese astrology has a lot to do with it. Every sign has its opposing sign. I, for example, am an ox. It would be terrible if I had married someone born under the sheep sign. If you have to, if that’s who you happen to fall in love with, then the wedding date becomes critical. Full Story

Bradley Cooper’s Roxbury hair
This one is for Katherine who just emailed me about having Bradley Cooper hotness confusion. Here’s Coop at The Hangover 3 premiere last night in a rust (copper, brown, what?) coloured suit. Points for the variety. It’s refreshing to see a man in something other than black or blue or grey. Full Story
Jeremy Renner is not fired
Last week a rumor surfaced about Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye being out of The Avengers 2, and that Renner himself could be done with the franchise, as Marvel brass weren’t happy with some comments he made about how Hawkeye turned out. While Marvel is totally willing to recast (see also: Terrence Howard, Edward Norton), sh*t talking is not how you get kicked to the curb. Full Story

Harry was busy yesterday. He and his brother visited with injured service personnel in Tidworth -- click here to see those photos if you missed them -- and then he was in London at the Chelsea Flower Show in support of his Sentebale charity’s forget-me-not garden. Full Story
How Leo parties in Cannes
Obsessed with these pictures. OBSESSED. Leonardo DiCaprio is still in Cannes. Last night he hit up Gotha with his party bitch Lukas Haas. He has his e-cig going, and also one tucked behind his ear. I understand this...because you never want your battery to run out at 3am. What’s fascinating about these shots though is that they give us opportunity to observe how Leo behaves in these environments. Full Story
RDJ’s getting his
“Where’s mine?” is what Robert Downey Jr was saying to himself after he finally cleaned up and married Susan and started working on quality films again, like Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, a great movie that did sh-t at the box office. Sarah from Cinesnark Full Story
Star Trek Merely Whelms
Posted by Sarah
After a much-hyped worldwide publicity tour, Star Trek Into Darkness opened and…just kind of showed up. It’s an okay movie, with slick action and an ultimately frustrating plot, but I wouldn’t say it’s anything more than okay. Full Story
From Transformers to Turtles
Candelabras not invited. Speaking of the absurdities of filmmaking... Check out Megan Fox yesterday in New York shooting Michael Bay's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with co-star Alan Ritchmon. As you can see, he's wearing the framework of a turtle shell on his back. And then they'll add the rest in post. Full Story
Behind The Candelabra in Cannes

Michael Douglas and Matt Damon were in Cannes today to promote Behind The Candelabra, premiering on HBO and HBO Canada on Sunday. Here’s where I get spoiled and whiny and wonder about my screener. That said, I also haven’t checked the mail in several days. By the way, Game Of Thrones fans, Episode 9 has been pre-empted because of Memorial Day and Candelabra will air in its place so don’t be surprised if you tune in on Sunday expecting the Khaleesi and find a lot of rhinestone, marble, and hairspray instead.

May 21, 2013 -- Smutty Shout-Outs
Jen! Happy Birthday from Erin! Thank you for reading my smut from back when it was a newsletter. I’ll toast you and your minivan (even though you’re NOT MVM) tonight with a glass of wine...and over Kevin Bacon and David Beckham. Timely! Here are new shots of Bacon last night at an event and Becks getting emotional playing his final game as a professional soccer player. Full Story
