Madonna is on holiday in the south of France with her kids and some friends and maybe even her boyfriend, dancer Timor Steffan. It was first reported in June that the two are dating after being seen leaving a play in New York.

Kristen Stewart covers the new issue of ELLE. She’s representing Chanel. Which is why this shoot is in a grocery store. You’ll recall, Karl Lagerfeld presented the Chanel F/W 2014 collection at a venue staged to look like a supermarket. Click here Full Story

A couple of weeks ago, it was reported that Joaquin Phoenix was supposedly in negotiations to play Dr Strange for Marvel. No news since then. He’s been working on that new Woody Allen film in Newport with Emma Stone. They were all seen on set yesterday. Maybe they’re haggling over terms?

I have a Dan Stevens Situation that is under imminent threat of becoming a full-blown Dan Stevens Problem. He was cute in a kind of teddy bear way when he broke out on Downton Abbey, but now he looks like this... … and well, it’s getting to be a thing. Not helping my Dan Stevens Situation is the new trailer for The Guest a thrillerish, horrorish movie that premiered at Sundance to strong reviews. Full Story

FX has released a trailer for the final season of Sons Of Anarchy premiering on September 9. Still deciding whether or not to recap it. Thoughts? The club is the only thing Jax has left now. And the desire for revenge. Oh…and his psychopath of a mother, played by Katey Sagal, perhaps the most underappreciated character in television. Full Story
