Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Features,
Mindy Kaling has blasted her Hollywood peers for giving "too much advice."
The Mindy Project creator and star urged a class of new graduates not to listen to tips on diets and parenting from uneducated celebrities while giving a speech at Harvard Law School's commencement ceremony in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on Wednesday. "Celebrities give too much advice, and people listen to it too much. In Hollywood, we all think we're these wise advice givers, and most of us have no education whatsoever," the 34-year-old said. "Try to be the kind of people who give advice to celebrities, not the other way around," she added.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Comedy, Daytime, Talk Shows, CBS, Gossip, Internet, Rumors,
Chelsea Handler has been in talks to host a daytime show.
The 39-year-old presenter - who is to leave E! when her Chelsea Lately contract ends - had sparked speculation she was to replace Craig Ferguson on The Late Show on CBS after posting an Instagram picture of her holding papers branded by the network, but insiders insist she won't be taking on the 12:30 am slot.
"There are no discussions with Chelsea Handler regarding the network's 12:30 late night broadcast," an official statement from CBS read.
Instead, sources told the New York Post newspaper that she met with executives to discuss the possibility of a syndicated daytime talk show, following in the footsteps of the likes of Kris Jenner, Katie Couric and Anderson Cooper. However, it seems the outspoken star could have jeopardized the plan with her social media posting. "Chelsea Handler is a pain in the butt," an executive told the newspaper.

Ellen DeGeneres has been named the most powerful gay celebrity in the US.
The 56-year-old talk show host, who is married to Arrested Development actress Portia de Rossi, secured the top spot on Out magazine's 2014 Power List, an annual ranking of the most influential LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) voices in American culture.
Announcing the news on its website, the publication stated, "Everybody loves Ellen, and that's one of the reasons she's regained the top spot. In March, The Ellen DeGeneres Show shattered its own 10-year ratings record in the episode that immediately followed her Academy Awards hosting gig, which also gave the awards its best ratings since 2004. And her star-studded Oscars selfie almost shut down Twitter when the pic became the most retweeted ever."
Other notable names on this year's list include fashion designers Tom Ford and Marc Jacobs, Good Morning America host Robin Roberts, How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris, CNN anchor Anderson Cooper and Glee actress Jane Lynch.

Russell Brand has been refused entry to South Africa.
The 38-year-old comedian was forced to cancel a stand-up performance in Johannesburg on Friday as part of his Messiah Complex World Tour, after authorities banned him from boarding a flight.
"Tonight's J-burg show cancelled. SA authorities REFUSE TO LET ME INTO YOUR COUNTRY. Trying to resolve it [sic]," Russell wrote on Twitter.
The star later believed the situation had been resolved and told his fans he would be able to make it for Saturday's show. "South Africa! I'm allowed in! AUTHORITY YIELDED TO YOUR PEOPLE POWER! I'll be on stage tomorrow night in J-Burg #MessiahComplex [sic]," he exclaimed. Shortly after, it seems Russell was given false hope as he once again reiterated he was "refused entry." He added, "Banned from South Africa. Here ready to go. Refused entry. Hope I can come soon #MessiahComplex [sic]."
Russell was expected to perform four sold out shows in the city before taking to the stage in Cape Town on November 19.

Russell also made light of his accolade and made a jibe at his friend Noel Gallagher, who was sharing a table with him: "Oracle? That's got to be a made up award so I would turn up.

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Movies, Television, Weddings,
Funnyman and Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update correspondent Seth Meyers has said, "I do" to his longtime girlfriend Alexi Ashe this weekend.
The 39 year-old actor - who is also the head writer of the late night sketch comedy series - wed the human rights lawyer in a private ceremony of 150 guests at Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts. According to reports, the bride wore a cap sleeve lace dress while Meyers opted for a dark suit.
Former SNL cast member Jason Sudeikis and his fiancee Olivia Wilde as well as Kristen Wiig, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Rose Byrne are a handful of the A-listers in attendance.
"They are so in love and really excited for their big day. They [were] really excited to celebrate with all their close friends and family," a source close to the couple said.
Having dated for several years, the pair became engaged last month - though another insider claims that Meyers knew that Ashe was his bride all along: He's very excited for the next phase of his life. He's known that she's The One for awhile, but it was all about timing."

Stand Up Comedian Daniel Radcliffe?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Comedy, Celeb News, Filmmaking,
Juno Temple says Daniel Radcliffe should be a stand up comedian.
The 24-year-old actress worked with the Harry Potter actor on indie movie Horns and revealed Daniel kept her entertained with his jokes after the director asked her to open a scene by laughing. "There was one take where there was quite a complicated shot and we had to keep redoing it to get the shot right. We had to open with me laughing and Daniel must have told me 20 to 25 jokes. It was insane. I didn't know somebody had that many jokes. It was genius. He's a stand-up comic," she told E! News.
While Juno will play Queen Elizabeth's sister, Princess Margaret, in Girls Night Out, the new movie about the sisters sneaking out of Buckingham Palace as teenagers, she admits she didn't follow coverage of the recent birth of Prince George, the future British king: "I'm happy for [Prince William and Duchess Catherine], but I'm not really good at following tabloid stuff. Anyone having a baby is a magic moment in their lives so it's very exciting but no, I'm not a royal fanatic."
