Celebrity Superlatives: St. Vincent has a new gig


We dig through the latest celebrity news for highlights ... and lowlights. Think high school yearbook superlatives — if St. Vincent and The Weeknd were classmates.

Most delicious side gig: St. Vincent

Annie Clark (aka St. Vincent) has been spending a lot of time in the spotlight with model girlfriend Cara Delevingne, but that doesn't mean she's forgotten her Southern roots. The performer got her start as an indie rocker, so it's not surprising she should be spotted waiting tables at Resident Taqueria in Dallas. The joint is reportedly owned by Clark's sister which makes the gesture all the more awesome. Patrons Instagrammed pictures of the singer-turned-waitress with many thanks for their full napkin dispensers.

Best American Idol cameo: Kanye West

Kanye apparently hasn't had enough screen time lately. Yeezy made a surprise appearance on American Idol, where he treated the judges to an audition of the Kanye classic Gold Digger. West's wife, Kim Kardashian, came along for the audition, snapping Instagrams in support. No surprise here: West got a golden ticket. He's going to Hollywood!

Greatest celebrity dopplegangers: Natalie Dormer and Denise the Pig

Kermit the Frog's newest love interest looks a lot like another high-profile celebrity, and no, it's not poor Miss Piggy. The Internet has come to the decision that the newest Muppets star is totally twinning with Queen Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer) from Game of Thrones. Best part: Dormer is owning the comparison. Apparently, the GoT star was teased in her younger years for her "pig face," so she's embracing the twinning moment, even joking that when she saw Denise, she felt personally responsible for Miss Piggy's ouster.

Most inspiring body transformation: John Goodman 

Looking more than good, John! After openly struggling with his weight in the past, the Golden Globe-winning actor has been hopping red carpets for the premiere of his new film, Trumbo, and his new svelte figure. Goodman, 63, looked healthier and happier than ever, all grins with co-stars Bryan Cranston, Helen Mirren and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje.

Hottest remix duo: The Weeknd and Nicki Minaj

Meek Mill had better watch out: Minaj and Abel Tesfaye (The Weeknd) had some serious chemistry during their duet on SNL. The dynamic rapping duo performed a killer remix of The Hills, with Minaj making a sexy surprise appearance halfway through the song. Apparently Minaj isn't the only huge Abel fan: Eminem also hopped on the Weeknd train with his The Hills remix.
