Celeb superlatives: Depp, Nyong'o, Lambert
We dig through the latest celebrity news, giving thumbs-ups or eye rolls to those who earned them. Think high school yearbook superlatives — if Johnny Depp and Chelsea Handler were classmates.
Best endorsement deal: Lupita Nyong'o
Nyong'o has joined the ranks of Julia Roberts and Kate Winslet, both also A-list Oscar winners, as the newest face of luxury cosmetics house Lancôme. Nyong'o's next move, after a busy awards season for 12 Years a Slave, may be unclear, but the best-supporting-actress winner has already positioned herself as one of the sartorial stars of our time. Well done.
Most notable resignation letters: Chelsea Handler, David Letterman
Handler announced she's leaving her namesake show on E! when her contract is up at the end of the year. Letterman announced, on his show, he's departing his Late Show talk fest (and CBS announced this week that Stephen Colbert will take his place). The game of late-night musical chairs is on, once again.
Coolest engagement confirmation: Johnny Depp
On a Today show appearance, he was asked about his lady — 27-year-old actress Amber Heard — their relationship and whether there's a baby on the way. And instead of acting weird or dodging the question, he turned on his A-game. "Expecting what? A child? Good god, what do you think I am, a savage?" he told the Today show's Savannah Guthrie during a pre-taped interview last week, "No, no truth to that. It's not a shotgun affair."
The truest first lady of country music: Miranda Lambert
The songstress and outspoken spouse of Blake Shelton took home three trophies at last weekend's Academy of Country Music Awards. And we hate to be superficial, but let's face it: She absolutely killed it on the red carpet in her plunging nude Randi Rahm gown, which spotlighted her svelte bod. Shelton is one lucky guy.
Most unable to make up his mind: Chris Evans
First, the Captain America star said, in repeated interviews, that acting wasn't appealing to him anymore — and that he could foresee not doing it anymore, unless he was under contract with Marvel. But wait! "By no means am I planning on retiring," he said on Good Morning America last week. Nice waffling there, Steve Rogers.
Biggest triple threat: Kristen Bell
We're starting to think that Bell is invincible. Her animated flick Frozen was a major hit at the box office and the Oscars, and she's taken on the celebrity-child-picture industry. But no, that's not all — the lady also has a set of pipes on her. She delivered a superb, flawless and live rendition of her Frozen character's ditty Do You Want to Build a Snowman in concert, and the video recently went viral, wowing anyone who doubted that Bell could deliver.
