Five Takeaways from Donald Glover’s Bonkers Interview with Himself
Interview Magazine was founded by Andy Warhol and usually publishes — you guessed it — interviews. But what happens when a famous artist would rather not sit for someone else’s questions? On April 7th, Donald Glover provided an answer of sorts when the magazine published him interviewing himself. “Yeah, so first question, why’d you want to do this?” he writes, before responding, “I guess I don’t love interviews and I asked myself, ‘Why don’t you like interviews?’ And I think part of it is that the questions are usually the same. This way I can get questions I usually don’t get asked.” He offers project updates, bizarre opinions, reflections on his own work, and more. The results are occasionally illuminating and often very strange. Glover does indeed ask himself questions that few oth...
Vanessa Hudgens Has the “Gift” of Speaking to Ghosts: “I See Things”
Some people think Vanessa Hudgens is great and some people think she’s terrible, but as she revealed in a new appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, she’s a uniquely qualified medium: The High School Musical star said she has been interacting with ghosts her whole life. The subject came up after a conversation about golf, where Clarkson joked about having a few drinks on the golf course. She then turned Hudgens’ attention to harder spirits: “Are you obsessed with ghosts?” she asked. “I’ve accepted the fact that I see things and I hear things,” Hudgens replied. Her apparition condition manifested at a young age, and ever since she’s had “a lot” of paranormal experiences. “Even as a child growing up, I remember getting ready for school when I was 8 years old, and there wa...
Leah And Jaylan Just Celebrated Two Relationship Milestones On Teen Mom 2
Leah and Jaylan took two big, positive steps in their relationship on this week’s Teen Mom 2 episode. First, they are officially boyfriend and girlfriend: He asked to be exclusive when they were vacationing in Costa Rica with her sister Victoria. Second: He traveled from his current home base of Georgia to meet her three daughters in West Virginia. Right before the latter event unfolded, Leah told Jaylan that she wanted Ali, Aleeah and Addie to get to know the man “making their mama smile.” Even though Leah warned Jaylan that her little ladies would “put him to the test,” he was ready to know the girls face-to-face. And shortly after a school pickup, Leah asked them if they were open to the idea — and, of course, they were (Ali even replied with a simple...
Teen Mom 2 Crossroads: Should Kail And Vee Keep Business Out Of Their Friendship?
Kail did not film Teen Mom 2 for three months, but the mother of four is experiencing a “restart” with the docu-series. The mother of four is also hitting the reset button and starting over fresh with Vee — and the duo questioned whether or not they should mix their podcast (a business) and their unique relationship as friends as well as co-parents. But before diving into the “Baby Mamas All No Drama” drama, Kail elaborated about her return to TM2 with supervising producer Brendan. “I just reached a point in my life where I felt like things that were occurring didn’t align with the work I’ve been doing in therapy. And right around that time, I found out about Chris [filming Teen Mom 2]. I’m not saying one way or the other, but I had no ...
Bob Odenkirk to Star in New AMC Series Straight Man

Johnny Depp-Amber Heard Defamation Trial to Air on Court TV
Next week, Johnny Depp’s $50 million defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife Amber Heard goes to trial in Fairfax County, Virginia.

Stephen Merchant Explains Why He Wanted to Act in The Outlaws (A Decision He Came to Regret)
The groundbreaking British sitcom The Office and FX’s captivating Sons of Anarchy spinoff Mayans M.C. couldn’t have less in common, except for one thing: Their respective co-creators are now collaborators. Writers Stephen Merchant and Elgin James recently teamed up together for the new original dramedy The Outlaws, which focuses on a group of eclectic strange ers brought together by court-ordered community service in Bristol. The idea for The Outlaws originated with Merchant, whose parents worked as supervisors of offenders doing community service. But to take on the story, as he recently told Collider, he told his agents “Put me in touch with someone who you just think is from the completely other side of the tracks to me.” This led to his first meeting with James, and together the pair c...
