Now hear this: Kelly Clarkson is not going to be a bride-with-child. The "Stronger" stringer, 31, took to her Twitter account late Thursday, Aug. 22 to clear up widespread confusion about her just-announced plans to elope with fiance Brandon Blackstock -- and quickly-ensuing rumors that she was pregnant with her first child. "Fyi ....Brandon & I are getting married & no I am not pregnant," the Grammy winner wrote. "We are eloping for one reason only. We both want an intimate ceremony." Dating since early 2012, Clarkson and [...]...

"I worship men. Men are Adonises." --Zoe Saldana to InStyle UK on man-love. Now hear this out a second. You're probably wondering about the whole thinking Zoe Saldana is embarrassing thing, and like it says up top, it might be your natural inclination to roll your eyes and say, "Ugh, look at this simple chick totally buying into the Patriarchy and blah blah blah." Because really, when you hear a lady saying something like "I worship men," there's definitely a reasonable part of people that probably cringes heartily. It's just like that sometimes. But think of it this way -- if a man were doing an interview, say, Zoe's ex-boyfriend, Bradley Cooper, and he made an off-the-cuff comment about how he "worships" women, and how "women are goddesses," wouldn't that be such a nice thing? Of course it would. So why bother with the double standard of thinking it's...

We knew it was coming, but RuPaul picked a tolerable week of Drag Race's fifth season not to eliminate either of the lip-syncing queens. Alyssa Edwards and Roxxxy Andrews both werqed the hell out of "Whip My Hair," evolving into action figures with wind-up head-spinning capacity. Since we don't have an eliminated queen to interview this week, let's take this moment to reflect on the competition and rank the seven remaining dames. Who's coming out on top? The answer shouldn't surprise you.
7. Alyssa Edwards
I find it so jarring when a queen is baffled by comedy challenges -- worse, I guess, is when she believes she's a contender in comedy challenges when she's anything but. Alyssa's bizarre confidence during last night's roast was so unjustified, I couldn't even look at her at the mic. Her jokeless "jokes"? Her tactlessly mean "punchlines"? They all reinforced a fact that's been apparent for...

Well, that was the weirdest possible way to introduce season 12's finalists to America, wouldn't you say? To recap, Ryan Seacrest sat the 20 remaining hopefuls in what looked like a cramped classroom (very Up the Down Staircase) and led each surviving finalist through a long corridor and to the stage for a victory performance. In case that wasn't bizarre enough, Ryan sometimes gave the performers little pep talks before they hit the stage. And we all know what a sympathetic character Seacrest is.
"You did it. All the hard work paid off," Seacrest muttered to Candice Glover like a scripted high-school guidance counselor. So, so weird.
Here's what's important. The ten finalists (chosen by home viewer votes) were announced, and now it's our job to rank them in two ways: 1) by merit, based solely on who deserves to be the next American Idol most; 2) by likeliness to win, based solely...

Well, that was a mediocre night of brooding dudes. Remember when I told last night's ladies to "matter more"? Turns out the gents needed the same memo, with one notable exception: The fabulous, high-heeled mess known as J'da, who announced he was "representing the gays" after his eye-popping, nutty, floor-clutching performance of "Rumour Has It," rocked me, confused me, and ultimately felt... too insane for this universe. We'll get to that in a bit. J'da's performance, I mean, not the universe where he can live and thrive. That's a couple millennia off.
Just like Wednesday's initial Vegas night, we saw 10 performers croon (all dudes this time), and five earned the right to stay while the other five were eliminated. Let's rank these 10 and sort out our feelings for years afterward with suburban therapist Kara DioGuardi. I assume that's what's she's up to recently.
10. Charlie Askew, Elton John's "Rocket Man"

Emergency: We're less than two weeks from the Oscars, and I still have an entire Academy history to lament. Let's give props to the ten actors who've deserved an Academy Award most, yet have found themselves empty-handed. I've ranked them according to how much I've wept rethinking each slight.
10. Alec Baldwin
Yes, I'm trying to fix the gaping hole in my heart where 30 Rock once lived, but I also bring up the name of Jack Donaghy's maker for a pertinent reason -- he is a dynamite screen presence. If his chilling "Always be closing" monologue in Glengarry Glen Ross weren't scary and bad-ass enough, he's proved himself capable And cuddly in Working Girl, The Aviator, The Departed, and The Cooler, where he notched his first and only Oscar nomination. Surely the man who racked up six straight Emmy nominations for lovingly patronizing Liz Lemon should win one damn Oscar for bringing the heat onscreen.

So before the Oscar nominations take over my life and force me to forget The Golden Globes ever existed, let's line up 10 of this year's male acting nominees in the film categories and rank their single hottest moments in film. You'll notice the battle between #1 and #2 is one for the history books.
10. Tommy Lee Jones in Coal Miner's Daughter
Tommy Lee Jones is like if a post-Barry Lyndon Ryan O'Neal actually started to rule as he became more grizzled. In Coal Miner's Daughter, the Lincoln thesp (who was also amazing in this year's Hope Springs) was a twangy hybrid of Robert Redford and Lou Ferrigno, and he could sure fill out a flannel shirt. Pardon me as I involuntarily blurt, "Ennis, I swear."

We've been hearing that Stan Lee has canceled all of his upcoming convention appearances. The 90-year-old comic book legend loves his fans and rarely misses an opportunity to mingle and share his stories. So this was bad news. But Lee has now released a statement, saying that he had a pacemaker put in and expects to be around for another 90 years. Lee said: "Attention, Troops! This is a dispatch sent from your beloved Generalissimo, directly from the center of Hollywood's combat zone! Now hear this! Your leader hath not deserted thee! In an effort to be more like my fellow Avenger, Tony Stark, I have had an electronic pace-maker placed near my heart to insure that I'll be able to lead thee for another 90 years.

Stan Lee has updated his fans about the “very serious circumstance” that forced him to cancel several scheduled appearances and had quickly had fans quickly about the sudden announcement. Now, according to a statement released by Lee, the 89-year-old comic book titan had begun to develop health issues that led to the installment of a pacemaker just recently.

After a groan-inducing two-week hiatus, the glorious So You Think You Can Dance returns tonight for its Top 14 week. This season, the terpsichorean series lost its Thursday night results show, forcing major format changes that include 1) performances and eliminations within the same episode, 2) new "bottom three" rules, and 3) a finale that will crown two winners, one male and one female. And you know what? I think it's working out great so far. Here are the five biggest perks of the new system.
1. Cat Deeley works best under this pressure.
Why is Cat Deeley the greatest host on TV (besides, perhaps, RuPaul)? Because she has that natural Dick Clark-ian awareness of pacing, timing, humor, seriousness, and contestant sympathy. In the old format, Cat was responsible for introducing a myriad of guest performances and reading tons more teleprompter feed. Now, she's forced into exhibiting only her finest traits: helping along repartee between contestants and judges,...

How sweet would it be to see the future hall-of-fame Canadian suit up for the league’s only Canadian team? It might make the Raptors relevant on a grand stage for the first time since they lead the Atlantic in 2006, passing the Boston Celtics in the standings en route to a playoff appearance. This would be the Raptors second future hall-of-fame signing since Hakeem Olajuwon- yes, that guy – was traded to the Raptors in 2011, where he ended his career.
General Manager Bryan Colangelo has already stated that going after Steve Nash would be the Raptors top, maybe even only, priority this summer. And they’re going to push hard; there’s no question about that. Now that the rumour mill is flooding, multiple sources have already claimed the Raptors will offer Steve Nash (aka Kid Canada) $36 million for three years, with an option for a third year.

20. Tim Gunn, Tim Gunn's Guide to Style
Tim Gunn's professorial smarts on Project Runway and his long-gone makeover series Tim Gunn's Guide to Style make his conservative work attire damn fetching. He's a saucy and sexy guy, and I'm not just saying that because I believe my impersonation of him is Nobel-worthy.

That's already the crime of the century because these dudes represent us, the ambitiously judgmental people who sit at home and criticize everything for the fun of it.

Now hear this: I love Madonna. Always will. And that’s why I’m completely sensitive to her infuriating moments.
Recently, audio circulated of Madonna preparing for her new tour. In a short clip, she sings Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” as a mashup with her own, similar-sounding “Express Yourself,” as well as the pointed track “She’s Not Me.” Yes, it’s a cute and witty barb, one that’s meant as a gentle affront to Madonna’s heiress apparent Gaga, but I’m not laughing. I’m not exactly weeping either, but I’m more annoyed than titillated. It's just... not that funny? Or rather, too on the nose, petty, and not funny. For me, it’s of a piece with Madonna’s post-2005 career, a stretch where too much of her output and decision-making feels like the work of a canny assistant, someone who knows...

"In the week where the film industry honor the six decade career of the late director Ken Russell, comes the announcement of the death of Christopher Logue," writes Rhett Bartlett. "Mr Logue wrote the screenplay for Ken Russell's sole film in 1972 — Savage Messiah," a biopic based on the life of French sculptor Henri-Gaudier Brzeska. "One year before his screenplay, Mr Logue appeared in Ken Russell's 1971 bold film — The Devils, as Cardinal Richelieu, the French clergyman who begins the film by influencing Louis Xiii to raze fortified castles and suppress feudal nobility." Bartlett also notes that Logue appeared as the "Spaghetti-eating Fanatic" in Terry Gilliam's Jabberwocky and "made a brief appearance in Jerzy Skolimowski's Moonlighting (1982) and 19 years later in [Charles Shyer's] The Affair of the Necklace. Christopher Logue died on 2 December 2011, five days after Ken Russell."

In the case of La Times Magazine's newest list, the 50 Most Beautiful Women in Film, the selections aren't even ranked. They're just listed in alphabetical order, as if we don't know who Grace Kelly and Elizabeth Taylor are, and need to look them up in the Yellow Pages. The amount of notable omissions is also worthy of a fight. Let's give them one.

We spoke exclusively to stars John Krasinski and Jenna Fischer, plus head writer Daniel Chun.

As long as there are social codes that prevent us from behaving the way we'd truly like (for me, a cross between Larry David and Louis XVI) there will be fantasy about the breakdown of society.
