This past February, Patricia Arquette made an impassioned and unforgettable speech at the Oscars about the gender wage gap. At first, she received praise from both peers and fans, then later received backlash after she suggested gay people and people of color start fighting for women’s rights. Now, Arquette is reflecting on her speech and clarifying the comments she made that caused the controversy.

Burt Reynolds, the very same actor who once slapped a CBS producer on a red carpet because the producer asked him to say a little bit about the movie he was promoting, said that Charlie Sheen got what he deserved when he contracted HIV.

No woman has ever directed a Star Wars film (only a handful have even spoken in them!), but that doesn’t mean the men in charge of the series don’t think a woman could. In a recent interview with Nerdist, J.J. Abrams, the man who recently referred to Star Wars as a “boys’ thing,” knew exactly who’d be great at the job (if, of course, it’s ever actually offered to her): Ava DuVernay.

Andy Cohen will not be denied the opportunity to entertain us on the final day of the year by hosting a sure-to-be-fun New Year’s Eve edition of Hollywood Game Night.

On Wednesday, the FBI revealed that Enrique Marquez, the neighbor who legally purchased the assault rifles used in the San Bernardino shooting, was involved in planning an attack in 2012 with shooter Syed Farook.

Here’s a tremendously bad idea that no one should actually do: supporters of guns on campus are planning to stage a mock mass shooting on the University of Texas at Austin campus. The “shooter” will be taken down by other people “armed” with cardboard guns. There will be fake blood and gunshot noises played through bullhorns. Hey: this is a really fucking bad idea.

Universal Pictures grossed $6.7 billion at the box office this year in large part due to its studio chairman, a half-Egyptian woman who embraces diversity. When is Hollywood going to understand that is almost always a winning game plan?

In today’s Tweet Beat, Jaden Smith has opinions, Piers Morgan is unpopular and I sort of don’t believe Bethenny Frankel’s story.

On Wednesday, Racked published a guide to wearing socks with sandals, and that’s just so weird because we thought we had already published the definitive guide in 2014??? And also in 2010???

Douglas Tompkins, the man who in the ‘80s founded both North Face and Esprit with his ex-wife/ardent Democratic party supporter Susie Tompkins Buell, died this week at the age of 72. WWD reports the cause as a boating accident in Chile—Tompkins was a longtime conservationist and fan of the outdoors, and he built his companies to serve those interests, starting Esprit in 1968 San Francisco and initially selling garments out the back of a VW bus.

Robert Dear, the suspect in the mass shooting at a Colorado Planned Parenthood that killed two civilians and a police officer, reportedly had an outburst in court Wednesday. CBS Denver reports that he yelled, ““I am guilty. There will be no trial. I am a warrior for the babies” in the courtroom.

I know you can’t handle one more goddamn piece of bad news right now. It’s too much. It may break your spirit entirely. But I have to do it. If I don’t tell you now, you may learn this from an enemy, or from Twitter, or from your rich asshole brother-in-law:

When I walked into the GOOP MRKT on its opening day, I was shocked by how quiet it was. There was a single security guard standing in the store. To the left of the main entrance, the pop-up’s resident baristas spoke quietly amongst themselves.
