5 Things Lena Dunham’s Publicist Needs To Tell Her To Stop Saying In Interviews

The Lena Dunham media love and defensiveness fest continues today with a long, adoring cover story in Entertainment Weekly. Reading it, I can’t help thinking what interviews with her always make me think: for someone who is so smart about some things, Lena Dunham is really dumb about others.

Gratuitous ‘Chris Evans As Captain America’ Shot

So I’m not the biggest Chris Evans fan in the entire world, but even I have to admit that in this photo from Entertainment Weekly, Chris looks totally doable. I’m just still not sure how someone can be the Human Torch in one film and the Captain America in the other. Too confusing for comic book fans! Also: wasn’t Kellan Lutz available that you made Chris Evan gain 50 pounds of muscle for this role? More »
