Blac Chyna. Blac Chyna told Good Morning America she feels “betrayed” by Rob Kardashian, who posted nude photos of her without her consent last week. The interview aired on Monday morning, the same day that Chyna’s lawyers plan to file a restraining order against Kardashian. It’s her first public comments since the incident. Per GMA:

Every once in a while, a celebrity comes along that has a distinctive “look,” a hair or a clothing style that, in time, comes to be associated with them. Think Diane Keaton and pantsuits, Anna Wintour and her bob, Isabella Blow and her hats, Kriss Kross and their backwards pants, Lisa “Left-Eye” Lopez and her condom glasses, and so on. And now: Blake Lively and her boobs. The 23-year-old Gossip Girl actress has been lauded for her long, blonde, charmingly wild hair, but the assets Lively flaunts most flamboyantly are not on her head: They’re on her chest.

Eddie Murphy is an example of democratic man stretched to his limits. Like many entertainers, he has an instinct for what the audience will embrace as the central response to any situation — he knows how to position himself at the center of our emotions so that we see ourselves in him.
When we walked into Blythe Danner’s suite in the Waldorf Astoria last week, we were greeted by an unexpected sight: Danner dozing gracefully in the hotel’s armchair, looking every inch a member of Hollywood royalty. “Vulture?” she asked. “Are you going to devour me?” Thus began our first-ever interview with a fully horizontal subject.“You’ll have to forgive me for not getting up,” she told us. “But I never tire of talking about this film.
On Friday night, Bob Dylan was honored by MusiCares, a charity that gives critical aid to musicians in need. Introduced by former president Jimmy Carter, Dylan took the stage and gave a long, 30-minute speech about his storied career. He thanked John Hammond, who signed him to Columbia Records when he was a “nobody,” and talked about the influence artists like Nina Simone, Jimi Hendrix, Joan Baez, Johnny Cash, and others had on him.
