Ladies and gentlemen: This is Gwyneth Paltrow wearing an $895 hoodie.
No, I did not mean to type $8.95 or even $89.50. This hoodie retails for $895, and is available for purchase on Gwyneth's GOOP site.
"Ah, but it's not just a hoodie!" says you. "It's a hoodie with an attached blazer dickie!"
I don't care. I don't care if it's a dickie made of Tom Selleck's collected mustache trimmings.

What do you do when you need to get a big message across? Get some big actors involved, of course.
The White House has teamed up with some big Hollywood names to create a PSA on an important campaign: to help prevent sexual assaults, especially on college campuses.
The video is part of a larger campaign headed up by Vice President Joe Biden, who delivered a speech on the topic following the release of a task force report on the issue.

Sorry, Karl Urban fans: You're going to have to wait for the next "Star Trek" movie to get your fix.
Fox has canceled "Almost Human" after one season, according to THR. The J.J. Abrams sci-fi series focused on a homicide detective (Urban) in future Los Angeles with a robotic partner who was programmed to be�you guessed it�almost human.
The series started out promising enough when it debuted last November, gaining some traction through an early preview before the official premiere.

You know what's awkward? When there's more interesting drama behind the scenes of your show than on screen.
NY Daily News is reporting that Naya Rivera, who plays Santana on Fox's hit musical teen comedy drama amalgam "Glee," has been fired.
While the rumor has yet to be confirmed (Rivera's reps were contacted about the matter but have not yet responded), the word is that it was Rivera's ongoing feud with Michele that led to Rivera getting sacked.
