Thank you, Nicole Kidman. After Emma Watson’s rather underwhelming Cannes carpet appearance last night, Thursday at the festival was rather lacking in dress porn. But Gran came through in the evening at the IFP and Calvin Klein party in black leather that looks like it’s stripped along the side. Full Story

Many of you have been asking whether or not Marcus Mumford was in Cannes with Carey Mulligan last night at The Great Gatsby opening. He was. If you can get past Leonardo DiCaprio, he’s sitting behind Carey in the theatre. I wonder if she made it through the entire film without leaving. She says she can’t stand watching herself. Full Story

But look how YOUNG she looks! So innocent! Here they are, Carey Mulligan, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, arriving at the Palais for The Great Gatsby to open the Cannes Film Festival. I gasped when I saw her. Am attaching the few photos that are available now, and I’ll add more to the post as they’re released. Full Story

Carey Mulligan’s dress is Balenciaga. It’s OK. The safety pin there seems like an afterthought, somewhere you might put a bow, but for tonight, why not a safety pin because...punk. I think I might have been more excited about this if it didn’t have the sameness we’ve seen from her over the last two weeks. Full Story

It was Friend Day for Jake Gyllenhaal yesterday in New York. He had lunch with his End Of Watch co-stars America Ferrera and David Harbour (if you haven’t already, you should see End Of Watch, it was one of my Top 10 of 2012) and they were joined by Jonah Hill. This is why Celebrity Friendships are so fascinating. Full Story

The New York premiere of The Great Gatsby is happening tonight. Last night the film’s stars Carey Mulligan and Tobey Maguire were at a cocktail party celebrating Prada’s Gatsby costuming. Leo evidently couldn’t be bothered. Miuccia Prada dressed Carey at her wedding. Carey is wearing Prada here. Full Story

The Great Gatsby junket happened in New York this weekend. Here’s Leonardo DiCaprio at the press conference. Are you feeling his open shirt? I am not feeling his open shirt. Would it kill him to sell this movie the way he looks in this movie?!? This is not important to the Actor, Lainey. Really? You don’t think his appearance had anything to do with why Baz Luhrmann put him in the f-cking movie? I love the way he looks in the movie. Full Story

Carey Mulligan and Marcus Mumford were married on April 21, 2012. Here they are, just after their first anniversary, hand in hand in New York yesterday after lunch. According to the band’s official website, Mumford & Sons isn’t touring again until May 21. Perhaps Marcus can join Carey in Cannes then as her film Inside Llewyn Davis will screen in competition there. Full Story

I loved this tuxedo cape when Victoria Beckham sent it down the runway at New York Fashion week in February. Click here to see her Fall/Winter 2013 collection. At the time, I called it the most interesting piece. And it’s even better on my beloved Carey Mulligan with pants. Full Story

A couple of weeks ago, when I was posting this article about Emma Watson, but really about Julia Roberts, I sent a video of that scene from Pretty Woman to Duana with a jizzy message about Julia attached. Duana, who appreciates Julia Roberts more than anyone else I know, wrote back: She was a STAR. Full Story

Two years ago, Carey Mulligan was rebounding off Shia LaBeouf (it makes even more sense now, doesn’t it?) by hanging out with Tom Sturridge and living out of a Best Western. It was never confirmed if they were dating but it didn’t last long enough for any interest to really take hold anyway because a couple of months later she was photographed holding hands in New York with Eddie Redmayne. Full Story

New trailer for The Great Gatsby just dropped... And you can hear a few bars of Beyonce’s Back To Black cover collaboration with Andre 3000. There’s also Lana Del Ray, and Florence & The Machine. This soundtrack, produced by Jay-Z, is sounding GOOD. The film too is...looking better and better. Full Story

From partying with Taylor Swift after the BRITS last night? So there's Mrs Timberlake, the touring wife. And then there's Carey Mulligan, also supporting her husband, Marcus Mumford, on the awards circuit. What's the difference? Oh...just an Oscar nomination. I just finished up at the Canadian Oscar Nominees Luncheon at the Beverly Wilshire -- Pretty Woman! -- and am rushing back to the hotel to blog. Full Story

Look, Mumford’s never been my jam. They’re good, I know. But I don’t go to them on repeat on a road trip or anything. If they come on because I’ve hit shuffle, fine. I never rush to the car and make up an excuse to drive somewhere just to listen to them. Is that OK?  You know what I do love about Mumford & Sons though? I love that Marcus Mumford married Carey Mulligan. Full Story
