Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Masha Alyokhina, two members of the Russian feminist punk collective known as Pussy Riot, spent nearly two years in jail before being freed at the end of December. And now we’ve got Stephen Colbert eliciting the best response about what landed them behind bars in the first place: “We sang a fun song at a church.” As always when Colbert’s at his best, the interview mined some pretty serious terrain while keeping it silly. Part 1 is above; Part 2 is over here.

Vulture made a supercut of Philip Seymour Hoffman’s excellent phone call scenes.

Billboard’s Erika Ramirez dropped a lonnnnng oral history of Kanye’s The College Dropout to celebrate the classic debut’s 10th birthday.

House of Cards could go a fair amount further than the newly announced third season. “As long as Beau [Willimon, showrunner] and me and David Fincher and Netflix feel that we have story to explore and terrain to move into, I think that we can move on as long as we feel,” Kevin Spacey tells The Wrap. But, like, how many seasons? “Thirty-seven,” Spacey jokes. After being asked about doing five to eightish seasons, Robin Wright just says, “Sure, bring it on.”

Retired Philip Roth hasn’t written a word of fiction since 2009: “I did what I did and it’s done. There’s more to life than writing and publishing fiction. There is another way entirely, amazed as I am to discover it at this late date. I swim, I follow baseball, look at the scenery, watch a few movies, listen to music, eat well and see friends. In the country I am keen on nature.”

Linda Cardellini is doing a Netflix series, the one for which Kyle Chandler has also signed on.

She’ll play the siblings’ mother.)
