George Clooney has just started promoting Tomorrowland, and I guess the first day of his junket was Thursday, because there are so many new quotes from George! Surprisingly, very few of the new quotes are about Tomorrowland. Mr. Clooney has become the kind of guy who gushes about his wife’s fashion in interviews. He’s also the guy complaining about how his wife doesn’t get sports! You know who got sports? Stacy Keibler. I wonder if he misses her. Some assorted quotes for George:

Why he fell in love with Amal: “She’s an amazing human being. And she’s caring. And she also happens to be one of the smartest people I’ve ever met. And she’s got a great sense of humor. There’s a number of reasons why.”

He’s proud of her lawyer skills: “I’m always very proud of her when I see her speaking at the International Court of Appeals in Strasbourg, you know, with her robe on. It’s very impressive. It’s a nice looking robe. They could spice that robe up a little bit.”

On her fashion: “It’s amazing, because she’s always — since the day I met her — she’s always had this insanely … it’s eccentric but it’s fun, sense of fashion. How she does it while she’s got 11 cases she’s working on, and she was teaching at Columbia, and she’s still like, ‘I want to wear that dress.’ It’s crazy. It has been sort of fascinating to watch, because she has such great taste.”

She doesn’t get sports: “I watch sports and it kills her because I got her into March Madness a little. She got into that, but it was enough, so the next week was the Masters, and I’m watching that and she goes, ‘So every weekend we’re gonna be watching a sporting event.’ I’m like, ‘Actually, that’s how it works.’ ”

He also says that he had to convert a bedroom into a closet for all of Amal’s clothes, and that he “doesn’t remember” much about his 54th birthday celebrations. And apparently, Amal did not get him a Porsche. Probably because of the bucket seats, right? He also says didn’t get a blender either. Damn, George… are you reading Celebitchy?!

Tomorrowland comes out on May 22. George Clooney is now promoting the movie. Here he is at Jimmy Kimmel yesterday. And there are also interviews with Extra and Entertainment Tonight. As expected, he’s asked about his birthday (Wednesday), which is why, well, he looks rough. Like really, really ti…      

These are photos of Hugh Jackman taken on a beach in Hawaii on 4-29 that we never got around to publishing. I’m sorry! It’s just that Hugh is so consistently hot, and he’s always such a standup guy, that you guys don’t often comment on his posts. Maybe I don’t sell him hard enough either, because these photos are making my week. It’s Friday and I’m staring at photos of Hugh Jackman shirtless. It’s going to be a good day. (Bonus link to older shirtless photos of Jackman.)

Late last year, we heard that Hugh Jackman was treated for skin cancer for the third time in a year. It turns out that he’s had a whopping “four skin cancers in 18 months,” which he blames on his childhood on the beach in Australia. In a new interview with People, Jackman talks about his cancer scare and the importance of sunscreen. He’s promoting his new line of skincare for kids, Pure Defense, which features photos of popular superheroes and Disney characters. I’ve seen that at the store and it’s a great idea. Here’s more from handsome Hugh:

Did you wear sunscreen as a kid?
No. I spent my childhood outside on a beach in Australia, where we have a very thin layer of ozone. I played cricket outside and I’d forget my cap. My nose would get burned every weekend.

How do you monitor your skin now?
I got every three months for checkups. It’s the new normal for me – my doctor says I’ll likely have more, and if that’s your cross to bear in life, you should be so lucky. No one will die from it if you get checkups. In almost every case it’s treatable.

How has this changed you?
I used to think if I didn’t come back with a little bit of color, it’s not a real holiday. I know the reality now: It’s stupid. If you get color, you are going to damage your skin on some level. In the old days, sometimes they’d ask me to get tan for a role, but now I spray-tan if I need it.

As a former Sexiest Man Alive, any tips on making sunscreen, well, sexy?
I don’t think I can comment from the platform of Sexiest Man Alive – that was years ago. [Laughs] We joke about it, but for some kids, they might think it’s cool: “If Wolverine is wearing sunscreen, then I’ll wear it…”

Why have you been so public on social media about your skin cancer?
It’s not as scary as I first thought, as long as you take care of it. There are a lot of things that happen in life that are hard to avoid, but skin cancer is something you can avoid if you protect yourself. I’m heartened to see the idea that to be sexy and beautiful you have to be tan is gone. People like Nicole Kidman have done a great job. She was made fun of when she was a kid in Australia because she stayed in the shade. No one is making fun of her now.

My gym is near a tanning salon and the ladies I see coming out of there… let’s just say they’re older ladies and it looks like they’ve been tanning for decades. Wolverine is right, it’s not really in fashion to get a deep tan anymore, but some people cling to it like they do to hairstyles from decades ago. I’m grateful to my mom for teaching me early to use sunscreen, not only due to skin cancer but because I’m getting older and have been able to avoid some wrinkles. The next time I put on my factor 70 I’ll think of Hugh Jackman. Shirtless and helping me apply it.

Cougar Town star Busy Philipps and husband, screenwriter Marc Silverstein, were photographed with daughter Birdie, 6, in West Hollywood, Calif. on Thursday (May 7).

Donning denim overalls, the Dawson’s Creek alum, 35, and her family went shopping at Fred Segal.

The actress and her husband are also parents to 1-year-old daughter Cricket.

The proud mom-of-two Instagrammed an image of her homemade Mother’s Day card.

“Birdie couldn’t wait & she gave me my Mother’s Day card today. In case it’s hard to read, in her “Memory Heart” she has written “Take care of me since I was born. Now. Bake cakes for my birthday. All the good times we had together. It takes me back to when I was 3. I love you. ” It is a perfect card,” she captioned the precious card.

Scandal Season 4 Episode 21 recap

The show is the same as ever. Command is infallable, and he will always always always catch Liv before she can clue in and protect herself, and also Liv never checks out the goofy people she comes across, apparently. I could swear that the kind of checks and …      

Maybe this is just an excuse to post nice photos of Idris Elba and his overwhelming thunder. Maybe I’m just trying to help out all of the British Celebitches still reeling from the UK election, in which David Cameron and the Tories came out with a big majority after going full-throttle negative on Labor and Liberal Dems. Maybe Idris makes all the pain go away.

These are assorted Idris photos from April that I never got around to posting, my bad. There weren’t really any Idris stories to go with the photos, and so I guess I sort of forgot about them. But it’s nice to have an Idris post on a lazy Friday, isn’t it? So much thunder. So lovely.

Here’s why Idris is making headlines today: because he just broke the “flying mile” speed record in South Wales. Idris has been filming a Discovery Channel series called Idris Elba: No Limits (which is also the title of my Idris-themed erotic fan fiction). During filming yesterday, Idris tried out the “flying mile” in his Bentley. The “flying mile” is where you start the mile not at 0 mph, but with a head start – you get to build your speed before the start line, with the speed measured between the two points. Idris ended up breaking the previously-set record of 174.8 mph. Idris got up to 180.4 mph. Well done, Big Driis.

And in case you still have all the feels about the UK election, here are some photos of Idris on the set of Luther from a few weeks ago. He and the crew were celebrating something with Krispy Kreme donuts. Look at that fine man make love to that donut. I could watch that all day. They could sell tickets to “Idris Elba Makes Love To A Donut.” Idris Elba: No Limits With A Donut?

New mom Zoe Saldana stepped out with husband, Italian artist Marco Perego, and their 5-month-old twin sons Cy and Bowie in Beverly Hills, Calif. on Thursday (May 7).

After dining out for lunch, the Guardians of the Galaxy actress, 36, carried one of the boys in his Itzy Ritzy-covered car seat. Her husband also toted one of the twins back to the car.

“Love these boys from head to toe. #myheart #mysweetboys,” the Avatar star captioned an Instagram image of her son in the covered car seat.

Last month, the actress shared a shot with one of the boys.

She also posted an encouraging message to all the new moms out there.

“Mommies, don’t beat yourselves if you fall off the wagon and eat like teenagers,” she wrote. “Yesterday we took our friend out for sushi and I swear I ate everything AND the kitchen sink.”

Love these boys from head to toe. #myheart #mysweetboys

Nancy! Happy Mother’s Day from Natasha! By request, here’s Jake Gyllenhaal. I have new photos of him that I’ll be posting in a separate article later today too.

The Annual Family Conference “Family Involvement in Mental Health and Addiction Services” takes place each year at Vancouver General…      

Gwyneth Paltrow gave a lengthy interview to Fortune this week to promote Goop’s latest collaboration. This is the biggest thing Goop.com has ever been involved with: Gwyneth signed on as an investor and creative director of an organic makeup line called Juice Beauty and in turn, Juice Beauty invested in Goop.com. There’s a lot of business information about the company and why Gwyneth thinks it’s important, but I’m just pulling out some highlights. You can read the full piece (and watch the video) here.

Being creative director for Juice Beauty: “The company is kind of my dream in terms of alignment… We’ll leave the scientific formulas to the chemists. I’m very involved in everything from textures, consistencies, color, palette. With the makeup, I’ve been very involved in everything – not the chemical formulations – but how the formulations will look and feel. All the way to the packaging and branding.”

On her contract with (non-organic) Max Factor: “I still have a contract with Max Factor in the rest of the world. But soon this will be the only one.

Cutting back on her endorsements: “I’m really trying with my e-commerce business – trying to narrow it down and be very strategic about it and mindful of the alignments I make. Juice is our first foray into our own label product. I don’t look at this as an endorsement, because I care so much about the ethos of the company and the product that they’re making.

Her involvement with Goop: “Every day. Right now I’m inextricably linked to the company. The company needs me and my presence. Until it’s a brand that doesn’t need me – which I hope will happen in the next five years – it’s important that I’m there and committed. I haven’t filmed anything in a year because I want to properly do this. I’m doing edits all the time with my buyer, and we have a new ad sales team, and they’re bringing in partnerships there. It’s just a lot. It sounds trite to say I’m involved. It’s my company and I work there every day. It requires a lot of me, and nothing happens without me being involved except coding.

Whether Goop is profitable: “We make money. It surprises me when we look at the balance sheet. Our revenue is good. We don’t lose money. Our burn rate is pretty high. We have to hire people all the time. We don’t have any debt at all. We just hired this incredible ad sales team. We need to take money in order to grow.

Her Food Stamp Challenge failure: “People love to get hyper-involved in the decisions that I make. The point was to bring awareness to the fact that we have a really long way to go in this country, and that even eating fresh food is a luxury, and it really shouldn’t be. I found it really incredibly challenging. I’m really glad that I understood what millions of American families are trying to do. Like what I said on the website, the fact that women aren’t paid what men are paid just makes the problem worse. Because if women were paid an equal wage – certainly the choice to feed your family more nutritious food would be available.

[From Fortune]

Reading through the full transcript, I was actually impressed with Gwyneth’s business ambition and goal-setting for Goop. But with the good comes the bad – only Gwyneth would treat her multi-million-dollar Max Factor contract like it was dog sh-t on her Jimmy Choo. Of course she got that Max Factor money – PEASANTS! – and in turn, she’ll diss all of the non-organic makeup lines out there. As for Gwyneth’s daily, hands-on involvement and her supreme sacrifice of not doing any films for a year just so she can focus solely on Goop… well, if that’s what it takes to get her off of movie screens, then YAY.

Oh, and “People love to get hyper-involved in the decisions that I make…” God, she’s such a snot. The whole raison d’etre of having a huge lifestyle company and a big social media footprint is because you want people to pay attention to the decisions and choices you make. You can’t invite people in and then complain about it.

Meanwhile, the current issue of Us Weekly has a story about Gwyneth and her boyfriend/lover Brad Falchuk. They had a dinner date at Jon & Vinny’s in LA, and after dinner, they danced to Nicki Minaj’s “Truffle Butter.” Goop is so gangsta.

Dear Gossips,

Universal announced yesterday that By The Sea, written and directed by Angelina Jolie, starring Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, will be released November 13. November is definitely not January. Or February. November is an award season sweet spot. November means the studio might ha…
