Conan Attempts To Do The Impossible And Figure Out Jake Gyllenhaal's Height

On the latest episode of "Conan," the host and his guest, Starlee Kine, attempt to do the impossible: figure out Jake Gyllenhaal's height.


Kine is the host of "Mystery Show," a podcast where -- wait for it -- she tries to solve mysteries. On a previous episode, Kine was tasked with figuring out Gyllenhaal's height. 


"There's a whole website called CelebHeights.com, and there's people who argue about how tall celebrities are, celebrities they've never met," said Kine. "And this one, there were like pages and pages of people debating how tall Jake Gyllenhaal was." 


Kine said that she "took on the case" and brought Gyllenhaal into her studio, where he told her that he was 5 foot 11 and a half inches. Celeb Heights updated its "Jake Gyllenhaal" entry to reflect the star's own height admission, but the website's users refused to believe it. 


To settle the argument once and for all, Conan surprised Kine and brought Gyllenhaal out to measure his height and end the crazy debates. 


 The verdict? After Gyhllenhaal takes off his shoes and flattens his coiffed hair, Conan says 5 foot 11 inches, and then says 5 foot 11 and a half inches. WTF? WILL WE EVER SOLVE THIS MYSTERY, JAKE?

Stephen Colbert Talks Oregon Shooting From The Heart

Stephen Colbert knows that some things just aren't funny, but they can't be ignored either.


In his opening remarks Friday on "The Late Show," the host said he wanted to talk about pretending. "That is something that I know a little bit about," he said to light laughter.


But his intro was merely a segue into brutally honest remarks on the shooting at Umpqua Community College in Oregon.


“I think that the least that we can do is not pretend to always know what to do or say. And in the face of the killings in Oregon yesterday, I honestly don’t know what to do or say,” he said.


“I think pretending is part of the problem," he said later. "These things happen over and over again and we are naturally horrified and shocked when we hear about them, but then we change nothing and we pretend that it won’t happen again.”


Watch above for the full commentary.

Well, we finally know why Tom Hiddleston is so good at playing Loki. He basically is him in real life.


In "Avengers," Loki can take on others' appearances, and apparently Hiddleston can do the same. While on "The Graham Norton Show," the actor broke out impressions of Owen Wilson, Christopher Walken, Al Pacino and even Robert De Niro -- in front of Robert De Niro


It's too bad he didn't do these in "Avengers." The people of Earth would be all for him ruling the world. 


Though he was cut out of "Avengers: Age of Ultron," Loki is said to be a big part of the next "Avengers" film. So don't worry, bruh, there's always next time.

J.K. Rowling Shoots Down Your Favorite 'Harry Potter' Fan Theories

Sorry, Muggles. J.K. Rowling is going all Avada Kedavra on some of your favorite "Harry Potter" fan theories.


Up to this point, fans of the books and movies have analyzed the story so much that they've come up with a number of theories that are so crazy they have to be true.


As it turns out, nope, they're just crazy. Here are the theories that must not be named anymore:


Ron Weasley is not a time-traveling Albus Dumbledore.




No! Not this one!


In the books, there are a number of physical descriptions and plot points that show major similarities between Dumbledore and Ron, but after a fan asked about it, Rowling confirmed they aren't the same person:








Bloody hell ...

Also, Draco Malfoy is not a werewolf and Snape is not a vampire. 




 


What? OK, she's just pouring it on now.


Because of their physical descriptions and some peculiar activities in the books, Draco Malfoy and Snape were thought to secretly be a werewolf and a vampire, respectively. Draco's physical changes that occur in the book are seen as the result of a werewolf curse by some, and Snape's pale complexion was viewed as evidence he was in fact undead. Unfortunately, these are not the case either:





After that, Rowling was done crushing all our Muggle dreams for one day.


Don't be too disappointed, though. Rowling has also confirmed some other fan theories, and with her new play "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" coming to the stage, you can be sure more theories are on the way.

Tina Fey is developing yet another comedy series -- this time about a recently retired athlete who starts getting on his family's nerves, Entertainment Weekly reports.


CBS has committed to producing a pilot. If the show gets picked up for a full season, which it totally should, that means the actress-writer-producer our personal hero will be heading back to network television -- but, interestingly, not to NBC, home of earlier labors "30 Rock" and "Saturday Night Live."


Fey will collaborate on the new show with Robert Carlock, with whom she's worked on both "30 Rock" and Netflix's "The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt." 


No word yet on a title for the series, or whether Jon Hamm will have a role. (Please?)

Robin Williams' Family Has Ended A Long Legal Battle Over His Estate

Robin Williams' widow, Susan Schneider Williams, and his three adult children from previous marriages, Zachary, Zelda and Cody, have ended their legal dispute over the star's estimated $100 million estate out of court, according to a petition filed Friday.


After their father's untimely death in August 2014, Williams' children were set to inherit his estate -- including thousands of personal effects. But the actor had also included a provision in his will on behalf of Schneider, whom he married in Oct. 2011.


Schneider claimed she was not receiving enough money to maintain the six-bedroom Tiburon, California, home where she lived with her husband before his death. Meanwhile, Williams' children claimed their stepmother was "adding insult to a terrible injury" by trying to change the terms of their father's trust. 


While exact terms of the agreement were not disclosed, lawyers stated Schneider will receive enough support to continue living in the home during her lifetime. Zachary, Zelda and Cody Williams, however, will eventually inherit the property.


"While it's hard to speak of this as a win, given it stems from the greatest loss of all, I am deeply grateful to the judge for helping resolve these issues," Schneider said in a statement obtained by People. The actor's widow was also able to keep "the few emotional items she requested," including wedding gifts, select clothing and a favorite watch.


Williams' children will receive the majority of their father's personal possessions, including his Academy Award, six Golden Globes, two Emmys and five Grammy awards, according to the Los Angeles Times


"The children are relieved to have this behind them," a lawyer for the Williams children told The Associated Press

Sara Bareilles Reveals The Real Story Behind 'Love Song’

Sara Bareilles just can't bottle it up anymore.


As the legend goes, back when the singer was just starting out, she marched into her record label's offices, told them she wouldn't write a love song and the rest is pop culture history, right?


Well, not exactly.


Bareilles tells The Huffington Post that's actually a "distilled version of the truth."


"People sort of want to hear what they want to hear," the singer explains. "It makes for an easy one-liner to be like, 'So the big bad record label wanted you to write love songs and this is you fighting back.' It’s not that it’s not true, but it wasn’t that simple."


So what's the real story?

Bareilles opens up about the truth behind "Love Song" in her new book, Sounds Like Me, which will be available in bookstores on Tuesday. For starters, the singer says the record company never actually told her to write a love song. 


"No, nobody ever said that," Bareilles tells HuffPost.


In fact, a lot of the inspiration for writing "Love Song" actually came from terrible co-writing sessions the record label, Epic, and Sony wanted her to do, she says. 


"The co-writing sessions, I think for me, they came at a time where I was still so unsure of my own edges. In a way, I was still sort of discovering who I was as an artist at that time. And while I don’t think that any of those collaborators had any bad intentions, I just don’t think I was ready to collaborate," says the singer.


Bareilles explains she wasn't able to be "authentic" in the co-writing sessions, but she now views them as a "great learning moment." She adds, "I gave myself a lot of heartache over it, but really, at the end of the day, if you want anything to be different, you can just ask for that."




Bareilles also explains that, despite its lyrics, "Love Song" actually is a love song.


"It was a love song to my craft. It was a love song to my intention, to my heart and soul. I was fighting for the essence of some truth inside of me, which to me is a beautiful love song. It just wasn’t a duet between Peter Cetera and Amy Grant," she says, laughing. "It wasn’t going to be the end title in a romantic comedy, at all."


So there you have it. Though no one actually asked her to write a love song, you can be pretty sure everyone has since.


In a Reddit AMA, Bareilles was asked what it would take for her to write a love song, to which she responded, "Oh boy. This question."


She went on to write, "I have to think I love you. In some way. Some love needs expression and then the song appears. That's how." 


Over the last few years, when she hasn't been writing books or fielding questions about her old songs, Bareilles has been busy writing the music for the upcoming Broadway musical "Waitress." She's also releasing a new album inspired by it, "What's Inside: Songs from Waitress," which the singer jokingly calls "completely self-indulgent," adding she hopes it gives fans "a little glimpse" into the kind of music she's been making for the last couple of years. 


To hear more from Bareilles saying what she wants to say -- and letting the words fall out, honestly -- look for Sounds Like Me in bookstores Oct. 6. 




"What's Inside: Songs from Waitress" is available Nov. 6.

Ellie Goulding's alleged lip-syncing scandal is turning into one hell of a something.


The incident happened Saturday at the Australian Football League pre-game show. There, Goulding was supposed to perform "Love Me Like You Do," but the song seems to play on without her.


Fan outrage ensued. And, after that, it was Goulding's turn.


The singer sent out a series of tweets about the incident. In one, she calls out her haters: 





In others, she explains she wasn't feeling well. OK, y'all?








And, finally, she called out the sound guy.





After Ashlee Simpson's lip-sync incident, she tried to blame it on her drummer, while on the other hand, Beyoncé just admitted to hers at the president's inauguration.


Is there a lesson there? Eh, maybe. But we don't have time to think about that. Not when there's a rogue sound guy on the loose!
