Dear Gossips,

Welcome back to those of you in Canada returning from the Victoria Day long weekend. PLEASE NOTE: we were open for business yesterday and several articles were posted, starting at Brad Pitt here. If you missed it, please start at that link and work back by clicking PREVIOUS ARTICLE for all updates. Or scroll down and click VIEW OLDER to get caught up.

Seth MacFarlane posted yesterday on Twitter that he will not return as Oscar host:

“Traumatized critics exhale: I'm unable to do the Oscars again. Tried to make it work schedule-wise, but I need sleep. However, I highly recommend the job, as Zadan and Meron are two of the most talented producers in the business. My suggestion for host is Joaquin Phoenix.”

OK that’s kinda funny. But I’m telling you -- Justin Timberlake. It’s the only way Oscar + JT belong in the same sentence: when he’s hosting the show and not nominated for one.

Calgary SMUT is officially sold out -- and it happened in a day! Thanks to all of you for your enthusiasm. Vancouver is almost at capacity. Look forward to seeing you all there. Especially as gossip has been so good to us lately.

Yours in gossip,

Lainey

Dear Gossips,

Between Cannes and Brange and Beyonce and Robsten and the Afflecks and the Billboard Music Awards, it was a relentless weekend. Here’s how I see it -- on that list, Billboard is the lowest priority, right? Check LifeStyle through the day for red carpet photos and we’ll keep the main gossip page dedicated to the headliners.

As for Justin Bieber getting booed last night  -- fine, the kid is a punk, and while it may have been satisfying for some to see his bottom lip trembling, does the enjoyment hold up when you consider that Chris Brown wasn’t booed AT ALL and in fact received rapturous applause instead, particularly from women?

I’ve never wanted to but here’s more reason why it would suck to be up so close at this kind of award show:

Miguel, by the way, apologised to the girl afterwards and did an interview with her. Not sure if it’ll be enough to avoid a lawsuit. Needless to say, Miguel’s sh-tty long jump resulted immediately in a few hilarious memes. So far, this one is my favourite.

Yours in gossip,

Lainey

It’s been 4,000 words and 15 posts -- so I’m taking my long weekend back! It’s a holiday here in Canada. The blog will return at regular time and on regular schedule tomorrow. Besides, I’m waiting on more sources re: Robsten anyway. Just sit with this for now: her team has been working it so that she doesn’t get totally dumped on by pro-Pattinson reporting. 

This poor girl! I can’t watch, I can’t watch, I can’t watch... (Dlisted)

OMG look what Mila Kunis wore to the Billboard Awards back in 2000 (Too Fab)

You know, by Ke$ha’s standards, this was actually really tame (The Superficial)

Jennifer Lawrence’s naked blue Mystique body (Just Jared)

Olivia Munn in a skin coloured bikini (Hollywood Tuna)

The Beckhams cried, and H7 stuck her fingers in her mouth (Pop Sugar)

I said to Sasha last night, only way more crass -- these two share a bed and she wondered what it smelled like (Cele|bitchy)

Ryan Gosling put movies down his pants (Socialite Life)

Good God, where do they find these dresses? (Celeb Dirty Laundry)

Isn’t this the Mother of the Year, really? (I'm Not Obsessed)

I have a hard time telling Prince William apart from his uncle, Prince Edward, these days. Hot Harry, on the other hand, well you just can’t miss him. He’s particularly animated in this set of pictures which is why there are more of him and less of his brother. Will and Harry were at Tedworth House today in Southern England visiting with injured service personnel. Full Story

Inside Llewyn Davis is considered, so far, the best film at Cannes. The critics were delighted. The reviews have been really, really, really strong. And Justin Timberlake is not the lead, despite the coverage that would indicate otherwise. The lead is the current #1 on my Five List, Oscar Isaac. Full Story

Jennifer Lopez is a world class open mouth red carpet poser. She’s one of the best at it. And, oh look, last night at the Billboard Awards, Casper Smart was working that move too. With his sunglasses on. Bear, do you know who you are? Look at him, like he’s a full boss now, in his shades with his lips ajar. Full Story

Mad Men Season 6 Episode 8 recap That was the weirdest, most uncomfortable part for me. The weird, up-and-down in-and-out audio as the hallucinations began. I never feel like there’s any way to “ignore” a symptom like that and so that’s when it began to go bad for me. Of course, it’s not like there was really ever any “good”. Full Story

It was family weekend in Boston for Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady. They were both at his sister’s graduation. And then they went to the park where there were kisses for everyone -- Tom, Gisele, the babies, the dog. Vivian looks a lot like her brother Benjamin, non? I could never swing from a tree while slinging a baby. Full Story

There was a time when I’d look forward to being alone -- on the subway, in my car, right before bed -- so that I could daydream about Keanu Reeves without interruption. There were several scripts I would revise over and over again in my head. I think the one I settled on eventually involved us meeting in Asia somewhere -- because of our shared Asian heritage, obviously -- and him falling in love with me because of my awesome Chinese talking skills. Full Story

Page Six was first last week with a report on Beyonce’s second pregnancy. E! ended the week with their own exclusive, citing multiple sources who’d supposedly confirmed that she is indeed expecting again. Beyonce’s response? Very uncharacteristic. She posted an angry note on Instagram that read as follows: "I can't stop the rumors from starting, and I can't really change peoples minds who believe them, all I can do is sit back and laugh at these low life people who have nothing better to do than talk about me. Full Story

I don’t have to tell you how rare these are. And they were exclusive and expensive. Which is why I’m working them off on a long weekend in Canada. Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin were photographed together in London the other day. Smiling. And not running away. Well, not initially. Full Story

There were two moments worth watching last night at the Billboard Music Awards: Chris Brown singing BADLY off-key, and all the drama that went down between Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, and Justin Bieber. More on this in a minute. First, let’s discuss fashion. HATE the white Atelier Versace on Gomez. Full Story

Game Of Thrones Season 3 Episode 8 recap You know you’ve really gotten into a show when you start to be endlessly frustrated with the characters who just won’t behave the way you need them to. This week had any number of irritants as well as the allegedly “proper” behavior of Joffrey acting like the king dick he is,  so I got more than my fair share of screaming at the screen. Full Story
