Season finale of American Idol last night. Both Mimi and JLo performed. Mimi threw down a medley of her greatest hits -- I always forget how much I love We Belong Together -- culminating in her current smash #Beautiful. It was... a little lip-synchy, right? Maybe not the middle section but definitely off the top and towards the end? Voices don’t hold up forever. Full Story

Stop what you’re doing right now. Because Colin Firth was in Cannes. Looking better than he has in a long time. Here he is being beautiful at a couple of Chopard events yesterday.

Colin’s kept a relatively low profile for the last couple of years but he’s recently been confirmed to star in Woody Allen’s latest, with Emma Stone, and also in Matthew Vaughn’s The Secret Service, described as a comic book Bond.

Here’s another reason I love Scandal: the show is having so much fun all by itself. Read Full Intro
