Proud papa Jimmy Fallon shared a sweet snaphot of his 2-month-old daughter via Instagram Tuesday.

“Franny Fallon wishes you a happy Tuesday,” The Tonight Show host, 40, captioned the adorable image.

The funnyman and his wife, film producer Nancy Juvonen, welcomed their second daughter, Frances “Franny” Cole on Dec. 3.

The SNL alum – who shared the first pics of Franny in December – and his wife are also parents to 1-year-old daughter Winnie.

Franny Fallon wishes you a happy Tuesday!

Towards the end of January, there was a sudden explosion of Lindsay Lohan stories. That was because Lindsay had a court date in which she had update the judge on her community service hours, per the terms of her probation. First, Lindsay maybe/probably faked a virus to get out of her court date and her community service, then at the last minute, she claimed she completed 15 days’ worth of community service in just a few days. Because crack math. So, obviously, the city attorney was like “Hold up, this crack math doesn’t make any sense, we need time to investigate!” And so the judge gave the city attorney a few weeks to investigate. Lindsay’s lawyer, Shawn Holley, is due back in court tomorrow to find out what the city attorney’s investigation has uncovered.

In between claims that “meeting fans” counted as community service, Lindsay claimed that she had been doing much of community service with an organization called Community Service Volunteers (CSV). Well, you know how Lindsay did a Super Bowl commercial for Esurance? Well, she somehow convinced Esurance to pay CSV $10,000. Interesting…

Lindsay Lohan successfully lobbied a big company to shell out $10,000 to her community service organization, just days before a judge decides if her community service was legit. Lindsay is in the hot seat for some of her community service hours performed with London-based CSV, after prosecutor Terry White scoffed at the credit LiLo received for meeting with audience members after her London play. White also complained that Lindsay got credit for “work shadowing experience,” where kids followed her around London. Problem was … at the time she wasn’t even working.

Well now TMZ has learned Lindsay contacted Esurance — which featured LiLo in a Super Bowl ad — and lobbied the company last Friday to give $10,000 to CSV. We’ve learned Lindsay told Esurance execs she’s been doing volunteer work for CSV lately because she likes what the org does for poor kids, and that’s why she asked for the donation. Our sources say last Saturday Esurance agreed to give CSV the $10K.

The problem … Lindsay’s due back in court Wednesday because the prosecutor has challenged her community service. It’s possible the judge could ask CSV for more info about Lindsay’s community service and the money could taint the legitimacy of CSV’s response.

Lindsay’s lawyer, Shawn Holley, says, “TMZ has stooped to a new low. To take Lindsay’s positive efforts in supporting CSV and turn them into something negative simply to sell a story is offensive.” She adds, “Lindsay has been involved in helping to raise funds for this wonderful organization since she started her community service there and she has continued her work as a volunteer, even though her community service was completed weeks ago.”

Oh, Shawn Holley. I feel sorry for you. I mean, that’s not fair to Holley. She’s making lots of money off of the Lindsay Lohans and Justin Biebers of the world. But still, it’s got to suck when you have to defend your client even when your client is pulling some seriously shady sh-t. While I don’t think this was a direct payment for the lies CSV obviously told about Lindsay, I do think this whole transaction is suspect.

After Christmas, Mimi probably feels like she has ownership of Valentine’s Day. Because, you know, she dominates the colour red. Also teddy bears.

This Valentine’s Day however must have been a dark place. She might say it was “bleak”. Who’s sending her flowers? W…      

Victoria Beckham’s family sat front row to support her New York fashion week. I’m impressed with how David supports all of Victoria’s fashion endeavors. He should do that, and he doesn’t deserve a medal or anything. But how many retired professional athletes would do the same? Not many. David is genuinely proud of his wife. Oh, and Harper Seven is three years old now! DListed has a photo of adorable Harper juxtaposed next to scary Anna Wintour.

VB’s done the publicity rounds en masse. She spoke with the New York Times in a video interview. Her new London offices are gorgeous. Victoria talked about her need to streamline and use minimal decor at work because she’s so “messy” at home. She also has a new interview with The Independent, which ends with this sentence: “As always with Victoria Beckham, when she talks about her brand, you get the feeling she’s talking about herself.” That’s some serious shade. VB talks about why she’s qualified to dress women:

On her progress: “I have a different way of expressing myself because I haven’t had that formal training. I’ve learnt a lot, in the last seven years. I’ve learnt a lot very, very quickly. And I continue to learn. When I first started, I used to wear lots of tight dresses. Lots of heels. And I do still dress like that, but I suppose as time has gone on, I’ve loosened up a little bit. I spend a lot of time in my shop, talking to my customer, finding out what she wants. Times change. Certain things I wore then felt right then. But it wouldn’t feel right now.”

VB’s connection to women: “Even if I wouldn’t wear something myself, I think I know how women feel, how women want to look. I can really relate to women, I get on very well with women … Some women don’t. I want to empower women, make women feel the best version of themselves.” Her models “are 5ft 11in — but they’re women, too. Maybe a lot of people aren’t going to be nice about models for the obvious reason … I mean, we look at models and say, ‘Oh, she’s so pretty! She’s got a great body! Good for her!’ Some people might think … ‘Cow!’”

Her changing personal style: “As you get older, you get a different kind of confidence. I’m busier now — so I couldn’t totter around in a tight dress and a pair of heels! I think I feel a little more relaxed. I suppose if I’m being honest, I would have been scared, right at the beginning, to wear lots of layers and to wear a flat shoe. I would have been scared to do that. Now I’m not.”

If you read the whole interview, it’s obvious the journo isn’t enthused about Victoria as creative director of her own line. I get it, but the journo was rude. VB doesn’t design her own clothes, although she’s heavily involved in saying what she wants and trying everything on herself. The clothes aren’t fashion forward, but they reflect current styles. I’ve included some runway examples in the gallery. The new line favors muted colors, color blocking, asymmetrical hemlines, and drapey, twisted fabrics. The ideas aren’t completely original, but the clothes are still nice quality.

Here’s a quick flashback to how VB dressed in 2008 — this is one of the only photos where her rack wasn’t on display. What a change!

Here’s Victoria this weekend at her NYFW show.

Before Fifty Shades of Grey was released, Sam Taylor Johnson was already talking about the sequels. She made it sound like the studio was already exploring the possibilities and that she, Sam, would be up for directing the sequels if that’s what the studio wanted. But now that the film is a smashing financial success, everyone involved is reassessing. There’s a UK report that suggests that no, Sam doesn’t want to direct a sequel, especially if E.L. James still gets to exert the same level of control over the script/story.

The Sun has reported that Sam Taylor Johnson is keen to leave the franchise due to her constant on-set feuds with the author, despite previously claiming that she had ‘signed on’ to work on the sequels. A senior film insider told newspaper’s Dan Wootton: ‘Sam won’t be back for the Fifty Shades sequels. She wants out and Universal knows that’s the right decision. Her relationship with Erika has become absolutely toxic – they despise each other and blame each other for the problems with the film.’

Sam and E.L. – who signed a £3 million deal with Universal and Focus Films giving them the rights to her trio of books, which also gave her creative control of the movies – are said to have clashed numerous times about sex scenes as the author wanted to make the movie racier. The source also claimed that most of the rows between the two were due to the author’s wishes for the film to be as explicit as the book.

‘But Sam pushed back because she wanted the movie to be more than just a collection of S&M scenes,’ they added.

[From The Daily Mail]

It makes sense. It’s not even that unusual – most of the time, when a smaller-budget film has become a smashing success, the studio usually changes directors. Think of what happened with the original Twilight franchise: the original director, Catherine Hardwicke, was pushed out quickly in favor of a series of male directors.

Oh, and Sam’s rep has issued a statement about all of this too, saying: “The studio have not committed to a sequel as yet….All press reports are pure conjecture as the studio have not committed to a sequel as yet. We will not be making any further comment.” Meaning that the studio hasn’t let Sam into their discussion yet. Of course Universal is going to make a sequel – they’re minting money. But they’re totally going to find a new director – probably a man! – to direct the sequel. And they haven’t told Sam yet, which is depressing. I hope Sam doesn’t get screwed over after she managed to “handle” E.L. James and make a financially successful and watchable film based on terrible source material.

And now for everything that reminds us that Saturday Night Live is never quite as good as we want it to be.

Actors impersonating characters

During the “Weekend Update” bit several actors appeared as famous SNL characters. Emma Stone impersonated Gilda Radner’s “Ros…      

It’s become a somewhat annual tradition for the gossip-well to run dry just before the Oscars. Things should pick up next week, I promise! But for now, let’s talk about Jennifer Aniston’s big 46th birthday party last week. E! News says Aniston “organized an epic celebration” with all of her celebrity friends, including Jimmy Kimmel, Courteney Cox, Malin Akerman, John Krasinski, Tobey Maguire (and wife Jennifer Meyer), Lake Bell and many more. They partied at the Roosevelt Hotel’s Spare Room. According to Us Weekly, they played games, bowled, and enjoyed the fully stocked bar. Sounds like a nice birthday party.

Justin Theroux was obviously at her b-day party too, because I guess he doesn’t need to be in NYC for season 2 of The Leftovers. Yet! Many of us also assume that Justin will be on the red carpet with Jennifer at the Oscars this Sunday, as she was asked to present. She made it to all of the big awards shows this year, by hook or by crook – she was legitimately nominated at the Critics Choice, SAGs and Golden Globes, and now she’s presenting at the Oscars. Speaking of her previous appearances, In Touch Weekly had a story last week about Jennifer being “hurt” by the criticism of her “saggy” bust at the Critics Choice and SAGs. A source claimed that Jennifer is really “sensitive about them not looking as good as they once did.” The source also claimed she was thinking about getting a breast lift. But Jennifer’s rep, Stephen Huvane, told RumorFix that the rumor was “completely ridiculous.” For what it’s worth.

And finally, there are some UK tabloid reports that Justin and Jennifer have finally worked through their pre-nup issues and it should be smooth sailing to the wedding. Yeah right. Apparently, Justin asked for a “cheating clause” which would have had Jennifer paying him $2 million if she cheated on him, but that’s now off the table. Sources claim that their pre-nup now says that if they divorce, Justin will only walk away with $1.5 million of Jennifer’s money. I don’t know, this whole story sounds completely made up.

Like Saturday Night Live itself, the 40th anniversary celebration show was a mixed bag. Here’s everything that was good.

Andy Samberg’s digital short

Because they are ALWAYS good, but this one, sung with Adam Sandler featuring an assist from Chris Parnell, highlighted the his…      

During a Monday appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, newlywed Benedict Cumberbatch dished on his recent wedding and impending fatherhood.

The Oscar nominee – who wed Sophie Hunter on Valentine’s Day – started off the interview by apologizing to Kimmel for not inviting him to the ceremony.

But there were no hard feelings.

In the spirit of Cumberbatch’s working honeymoon, the pair drank piña coladas to a tropical island backdrop.

“Later we’ll make love,” Kimmel joked.

The host went on to congratulation the Imitation Game star‘s “Cumberbun in the oven” and asked if the baby will take his last name.

“Poor child, I think it’ll have to,” said Cumberbatch, remaining mum on the baby’s gender. “That’s kind of the tradition.”

Kimmel went on to suggest choosing a name beginning with a Q so the child would go by “Q. Cumberbatch.”

“Too soon,” the actor, 38, responded with a laugh.

Regarding last year’s Oscars prank on U2, Cumberbatch said, “There was a lot of vodka being passed around on the red carpet, which I think is one of the reasons I did the photobombing. I blame it on the vodka.”

Last week, Ariana Grande released the fourth single from her 2014 album, My Everything. The song is called One Last Time and is a catchy forgettable little tune about wanting to get an ex back. The video, directed by 29 year-old Max Landis (The son of director John Landis), features Ariana running through a montage of post-apocalyptic scenes on the earth’s last day. Spoiler: she ends up kissing a guy at the end as the sky lights up with pink fires, which are presumably from meteors which wipe out humanity. It’s a decent concept for a video and it kept me watching. The problem is, there’s already a music video featuring a woman running through scenes of post-apocalyptic chaos until the end, when she kisses a guy before the sky lights up with pink meteors which blow up the earth. That video is 2014?s You Are The One, by the Australian group SAFIA. SAFIA issued a statement on Facebook calling out Ariana’s video.

This might just be coincidence but to us it looks like either the people at Ariana Grande’s label or the film maker have seen our clip for ‘You Are The One’ & reworked the concept a little bit and then straight up stolen and copied some bits…(ESPECIALLY THE END!)

Wouldn’t be the first time uncreative talentless f*cks from big labels and/or big film firms steal ideas from small independent creatives who are trying really hard to make something different for a change…

SAFIA also posted a side-by-side of the end of Ariana’s video and their video. It was similar to these two screenshots from the videos.

In response to this, director Max Landis got equally pissy on Twitter. He accused SAFIA of stealing their video too (From Injured Ninja, this video is from 2011) and claimed that it was just a trope he was using. Here are some of his tweets on this and he’s written so much more on Twitter if you’re interested.

No but seriously for people who are saying we stole @SAFIAmusic ‘s video, they should watch @Injured_Ninja’s video

Protip: don’t accuse someone of stealing for having similar tropes if you REALLY ACTUALLY STOLE YOUR VIDEO YOU’RE ACCUSING THEM OF STEALING.

— Max Landis (@Uptomyknees) February 17, 2015

coincidences are coincidences
tropes are tropes
But those in glass houses shouldn’t throw meteors.

— Max Landis (@Uptomyknees) February 17, 2015

Landis also tweeted “Everyone in the biz said “stay quiet, let it blow over” f*k that. i respect Ariana way too much to let her get called a thief.” For the record, Landis was getting called a thief not Ariana, and his argument is basically “you stole it too,” and “tropes are open to everyone.” That’s weak. Ariana’s videos is at least derivative of SAFIA’s, especially the ending. At least SAFIA’s video has a different ending than Injured Ninja’s.

I don’t care too much how this turns out, but I do think that Landis’ response was telling. Instead of admitting inspiration or apologizing he’s getting defensive and accusatory.

Here are the two videos:

Ariana Grande: One Last Time

SAFIA: You Are The One
