Gwen Stefani Has a "Makeout Playlist"
Last night on The Voice, co-stars Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton joked back and forth about Stefani's "makeout playlist." The convo was kickstarted by a contestant who chose to sing "I Want to Know What Love Is" from Foreigner. If you're a 70s child or 80s baby... that song was definitely on your makeout list, right?
“You took a song that’s actually on my makeout playlist.”
Stefani's boyfriend, Blake Shelton, took her admission as an opportunity to say "I told you I knew that song!" The two Voice coaches have been dating since November 2015.
Oscars Announce More Presenters, Plus Star Studded Women in Film Event
Emma Stone, Meryl Streep and Brie Larson got together for an Oscars pre-party celebrating Women in Film.
No, I don’t mean they got together to literally celebrate themselves… Women in Film is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting equal opportunities for women in media.
“I want to ask you all in this room today to connect with others. Let’s share our stories, talk about where we came from, let’s get excited about where we are right now because there is only room to grow… So let’s talk… let’s talk about what’s really going on, what worries us, what scares us, what we’re excited about, what it feels like to be a mother, what it feels like to be a daughter, what it feels like to be a son or a father in this period of time, and let’s incubate all of this and make something amazing because we will be here later, and we’ll talk about how this was the moment when we went, ‘I got it, I know how to make the world a better place’.”
And the Oscar goes to…
The final round of presenters has been announced adding Matt Damon, Jennifer Aniston, Meryl Streep and more to the list of previously announced A-listers including Leonardo DiCaprio and Brie Larson.
We will also see Jason Bateman, Ryan Gosling, Salma Hayek, Taraji P. Henson, Warren Beatty, Michael J. Fox, Seth Rogan, Vince Vaughn, Samuel L. Jackson, Dwayne Johnson, Halie Steinfeld, Emma Stone and more gracing the stage.
The 89th Academy Awards are hosted by Jimmy Kimmel and will air Sunday, February 26th.
Leo DiCaprio To Present At 89th Academy Awards
The Oscars are usually a star studded event but this year, that's been guaranteed!
Leonardo DiCaprio, Brie Larson, Alicia Vikander and Mark Rylance have all signed on to present statues at the upcoming 89th Academy Awards, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel. This proves we'll have an equal amount of star power on stage and in the audience on February 26th.

Traditionally, the previous year's winner will present the Oscar to the person who's won in that category this year. DiCaprio won his very first Oscar in 2016 for Best Actor in The Revenant so he'll be presenting in the Best Actor category. Larson won Best Actress for Room.
Best Supporting Actress went to Vikander for The Danish Girl and Best Supporting Actor went to Rylance for Bridge of Spies.
There are more announcements coming soon regarding additional presenters and live performances. While we don't have official word from the Academy as to who might be performing, we do know who's up for Best Original Song... So maybe we can make some educated guesses!
Trolls - "Cant Stop the Feeling" (Justin Timberlake)
Jim: The James Foley Story - "The Empty Chair" (J. Ralph and Sting)
Moana - "How Far I'll Go" (Lin-Manuel Miranda, Auli'i Cravalho and Alessia Cara)
And two from La La Land
"Audition (The Fools Who Dream)" (Justin Hurwitz, Benj Pasek, Justin Paul and Emma Stone)
"City of Stars" (Hurwitz, Pasek, Paul, Stone and Ryan Gosling)
Ryan Gosling's Wax Nightmare
Madame Tussauds Berlin has erected a monument of wax (as is their specialty) for the handsome and charming Ryan Gosling.
2017 is the year of Dream Dates at Madame Tussauds Berlin. Ryan Gosling's wax figure is the first of many surprises coming this year.
If you take a trip to Berlin and hit up the famous wax museum, you'll find Mr. Gosling in the "A-List" section alongside stars like George Clooney, Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
Serious Q: Are they planning on separating Pitt and Jolie, or...
Back to Gosling for a hot second. His new movie La La Land is up for a record tying 14 awards at this year's OSCARs including Best Actor, he and his partner Eva Mendes recently welcomed their second child (the two are parents to Esmeralda, 2, and Amada, 7 months), and he fared well at the Golden Globes. Life's pretty good for the kid from Cornwall, Ontario, so maybe this wax figure is just the universe's way of keeping him grounded?
Either way, it's creeping people out.

In related news, "Pussy Hats" are taking over! You'll see 'em in most of the photos associated with the Women's March on Washington. Pink, hand knit toques with cute cat ears on top have become a symbol of solidarity following Trump's gross convo with Billy Bush from 2005 that was leaked. Women have decided to take back the term and use it to promote strength and solidarity. Plus, who doesn't love a good pink toque?
