As Stephen Colbert prepares to sign off from his show tonight he left a warning dressed as a farewell. Anderson Cooper did something similar at 60 Minutes, wrapping twenty years in one perfectly constructed sentence that said everything without saying anything anyone could sue him for.

Elsewhere: Cate Blanchett accidentally announced the most exciting film project in years at a Cannes and then visibly wished she hadn't. Jordan Firstman made Hollywood cry and then took its money. A wedding photo went missing from Highgrove. Bethenny Frankel did not say thank you. Chrishell Stause had a lot to say about Katharine McPhee. And Mandy Moore would like you to know that being called unkind in a mom group essay was, genuinely, the worst thing that has ever happened to her publicly. And she has had a very public life.
