Dear Gossips,
Time management is key this weekend. I need to hit up at least 2 spin classes. And we’re taking the nephews and niece to Playland tomorrow. But mostly...
Arrested Development. Finally. Starting on Netflix on Sunday. I’d originally planned to mainline all episodes starting at midnight straight through to 7am. But Mitch Hurwitz has some rules. I love rules. First, he recommends watching in order, even though initially he’d hoped every episode could work as a standalone. The way it unfolded in production however was more chronological. Which is fine. I prefer order anyway. But I also prefer doing it all at once and Hurwitz cautions against it. Well f-ck. Now I have to come up with a new schedule. Do you have an AD schedule? What is it? Tell me.
We’re 10 days away from Vancouver SMUT! The event is almost sold out. Click here to join us!
The Cannes Film Festival wraps up on Sunday. But we want to send you and a friend to another festival in Toronto. We’ll put you up in my favourite hotel, set you up with $1,000 in cash, hook you up at the spa, and more. Click here to enter the “Festival Hopping with U by Kotex®” contest. It ends on Monday!
Have a great weekend!
Yours in gossip,
Lainey
PS. Tweet at me during Behind The Candelabra! Especially when you see the effects of Rob Lowe’s “work”. It’s hysterical.

Charlie’s big summer?

Charlie Hunnam was photographed out in Beverly Hills yesterday. Goddamn he is hot. Especially when he’s moving around naturally and not on a red carpet with his chin up. We’ll likely be seeing more of him on red carpets as we approach the release date of Pacific Rim, in theatres July 12. Full Story
Granny Freeze and This Hot Bitch

This Hot Bitch... Look at her. Sharon Stone. She’s a big deal in Cannes, every year, and she works hard for amfAR, and she was working it hard last night at the annual gala raising money for AIDS research in a white gown that was made for retired strippers. Check out the back of it. Full Story
Propagandizing World War Z
With one month to go until it opens in theaters, it’s time for World War Z to get serious about promotion. To that end, Paramount held a surprise screening in New Jersey, and Brad Pitt himself stopped by to introduce the film. And wouldn’t you know it? The audience overwhelmingly liked the movie. Full Story
Well I hope his “schedule” doesn’t change
As I mentioned yesterday in this post, a trip to space accompanied by Leonardo DiCaprio was auctioned off at the amfAR gala in Cannes last night for $1.5 million. Another prize involving Leo was available -- premiere tickets to The Wolf Of Wall Street, a luxury hotel stay, and Chopard watch, and invitations to Oscar parties -- and that went for $2. Full Story
May 24, 2013 -- Smutty Shout-Outs
Arlene! Happy Birthday from Janet who wanted to make it extra special for you with Beyonce and Hugh Jackman. Here’s B belly-cupping and cockblocking everyone else at the VMAs a couple of years ago -- one of my favourite Beysus moments. And Hugh Jackman being hot, so like totally natural. And for Gina who’s cheering on the Portland Winterhawks in the Memorial Cup today led by Seth Jones, very likely the #1 draft pick -- good luck! And try to have fun during the game. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
I read a fascinating article a few months ago about the psychology (pathology?) of the fangirl called The Killer Crush, specifically related to the behaviour of (primarily) teen girls who develop intense feelings for notorious criminals, like James Holmes. They call themselves “Holmies”, or “Columbiners”. More recently, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has inspired a devoted following too. There’s even a cross section of Tsarnaev/One Direction supporters.
I was reminded of that piece yesterday when, after posting this article Read Full Intro
Jessica Chastain’s great hair and Leo’s trip to space

Cannes Thursday is always amfAR. Every year, Harvey Weinstein auctions off a kiss or something. No, not him, don’t worry. Either Ryan Gosling or Robert Pattinson, or whichever “hunk” is available at the festival that year. Not sure if there’s a kiss to bid for this year but according to Page Six Full Story
Ebola infects Cash Money
It has been two years since I dedicated a post to Hollywood Ebola Paris Hilton. For those of you new to the site, here’s why it’s called Hollywood Ebola: because everything it’s associated with goes to sh-t, bleeds out, professionally and personally. Most recent victim: Brian Urlacher. Full Story
One year ago today...
It was the second Thursday of Cannes. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson were at a party. The paps shot them from across the street -- rare photos of the two of them kissing and loving. With video! It was very romance, per Borat Sagdiyev. Three weeks ago, when I was planning our Cannes coverage, I had this day marked as an anniversary celebration for Twi-Hards. Full Story

What Ian calls his ex?
Ian Somerhalder was in London last night. He was photographed outside the Groucho Club with an unidentified woman on his arm and a takeout bag in one hand. At least I think it’s a takeout bag. And I am more curious about the contents of the takeout bag than I am about who she is. Or, specifically, about the takeout/doggy bag etiquette. Full Story
Rumer Willis joins Pretty Little Liars
This whole acting thing is really turning out to be a grind for Rumer Willis, huh? Bit parts on CW shows, poorly received horror movies, she always seems to be working but after years in the business she really hasn’t landed anything to write home to Demi about…until now. It’s all finally paying off, in my eyes anyway, because Rumer’s got a part on TVs most important soap, Pretty Little Liars. Full Story
Nicole Kidman’s Hathaway Oscar dress

I’ll add more photos as they become available but wanted to get this article off asap. Here’s Nicole Kidman, with Ang Lee, at the Palais in Cannes tonight. That dress looked familiar to me. I thought it might be Valentino Haute Couture. It sure looks like it. And it sure looks like the one Anne Hathaway was supposed to wear to the Oscars before her last-minute change into the pink Prada to avoid clashing with Amanda Seyfried, you remember?
