Rachel McAdams, Colin Farrell, and Taylor Kitsch were photographed in LA shooting True Detective season 2 yesterday. It seems like they were shooting some kind of armed standoff. As you know, all three of them play police officers. I like Rachel in cop mode.

Congratulations to Bethany Hamilton and Adam Dirks.
The championship surfer, 25, and her youth minister husband are expecting their first child – a son – in early June, she reveals via YouTube.
“We have a little surprise for you … baby on board!” Hamilton says in the clip.
“She’s pregnant, yes!” adds Dirks.
At 22 weeks along, the mom-to-be is “prowling” for boy names while preparing for impending motherhood.
“It’s been a pretty crazy last four months, finding out that we’re going to be parents and life’s going to be changing,” the Soul Surfer author says. “[We’re] starting to prep for bringing a new little being into the world.”
And she admits that the pregnancy hasn’t stopped her from surfing.
“Once the belly’s pretty big, maybe [I’ll] just mellow it out and spend more time swimming, just enjoying the ocean and doing other activities,” she shares.
Hamilton — who lost her left arm in a shark attack in 2003 — will learn to adapt to care for her baby boy.
“I’ve been thinking about it, but I often forget that I have one arm,” she shares. “When I think about it, a squirming baby and changing the diaper … I think how I live life, just adjust and adapt to different things, especially things that are a lot easier with two arms.”
She adds: “There’s going to be things that will be very challenging with one arm, but I’ll just have to find my own way to take care of this baby. Of course, I’ll have Adam to help, but if he’s out and about busy, I’ll have to … figure it out and be creative.”
As for Dirks — who wed Hamilton in August 2013 — he sounds ready to take on the challenges of fatherhood.
“The early days of life we’re going to have to find the balance. Bethany is going to be feeding the baby and taking care of it, and it’s really essential for her to be able to do that,” he says. “As we start traveling more, getting into surfing, I know I’m going to be there to support my wife and support our family and do what I can … changing diapers on the beach while Bethany is out there surfing some gnarly wave. I’m all for that and I’m just going to be really stoked to be a dad!”
There was a distraction from the Grammys on Sunday. It distracted me for almost half an hour. Twitter too, it seems, because it was trending for a while…
A red band trailer for Straight Outta Compton was released.
Have you seen it yet?
I’ve been missing Lupita Nyong’o something fierce this awards season. She’s been around, of course, because she presented at the SAGs and the Globes, and she’ll be a presenter at the Oscars too. But I think I’m missing Lupita so much because all of the younger starlets and would-be Fashion Girls are not bringing it this awards season. Keira Knightley’s pregnancy stole her style mojo. Felicity Jones is kind of boring. Marion Cotillard wears too much bad Dior. So, we need more Lupita in our lives. And here she is! She covers the March issue of Lucky Magazine and I love the cover and the inside shot (at the end of the post). She just looks so pretty and fresh and joyful. Lupita is like a breath of fresh air, isn’t she? Some highlights from the interview:
The negative part of fame: “The not-so-fun part of all this is that when I don’t feel like being famous, I still am. When you’re in the middle of Manhattan and you have to pop into Starbucks to use the restroom and everyone recognizes you when you’re waiting in line, it’s awkward.”
She wasn’t allowed to wear makeup as a teenager: “My mother has never ever worn a drop of makeup in her life, not even at a wedding. Honestly, my mother’s outlook was hard for me to take when I was a teenager and wanted to experiment. But in the end I appreciated it, because today I can look in a mirror with no makeup on and love myself.”
Her social media presence: “I’m governed by things that made me smile, laugh and think. And if they do that to me, then I ask myself, would anybody else care to see this? If I can think of one person, I post it.”

Regarding the makeup situation… the thing about it is, Lupita doesn’t need makeup. I doubt her mom needs it either. No one really NEEDS it, but you know what I’m saying? Lupita doesn’t look any different when she spends an hour getting made up versus zero minutes getting made up. She has beautiful skin and a gorgeous face. The only thing that makeup gives her is an opportunity to match her eye shadow to her dress, and I’m actually sort of tired of that look!
