You needed a Canadian palate cleanser after that, didn’t you? How about Rachel McAdams, our sweetheart? She really is. Rachel was on Kimmel last night in purple pants and a purple blouse that seemed, maybe?, a little too harsh with her hair? No matter. It doesn’t take away from how lovely she is. 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

Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone are good friends. Jennifer Lawrence is shooting the new David O Russell movie in Boston. Emma Stone was spotted in Boston this weekend. Are they hanging out? Let’s assume yes. There’s also a Bradley Cooper connection too. Cooper and Lawrence are working together for the third time. Full Story

Is Helen Mirren. He presented her with the Empire Legend Award in London last night. Look at this woman. She is spectacular. She is spectacular in that dress. She is spectacular with the coat on top of it. She is spectacular all the time. And did you see Phil Spector on HBO last night? I watched it on a screener last week and couldn’t sleep afterwards, Al Pacino was so f-cking creepy. Full Story

A post-breakup playbook written for Taylor Swift. She tells Letterman she is “so good”. And I believe her. It doesn’t seem forced, there is no try, and if there’s any bitterness, well then give her credit as an actor because she’s convincing us she’s over it, in a way that isn’t defiant or resigned. Full Story

Justin Bieber was supposed to perform in Portugal tonight, as he did last night, only he cancelled the show because of equipment issues -- so he says, even though everyone else says low ticket sales... Already? What happened to Beliebers worldwide strong and proud? Since his breakup with Selena Gomez, JB has been smoking weed, collapsing on stage, showing up late, fighting the paps, defending himself on Twitter, and coddled by his babyguard. Full Story

Yesterday, Taylor Swift’s Vanity Fair excerpt was released, in which she said, in regards to a Golden Globes joke by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, “There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women” (more on this quote later). Full Story

Duana was on me over email before 7am this morning: “This spectacular Mila Kunis interview? Yes, right?” I was still rushing out the open and shouts and had no idea what she was talking about. So she sent me the link. And again, with the accompanying comment: “It is spectacular. Full Story

Jennifer Lawrence is now in Hawaii, presumably hanging out for a few days before resuming production on Catching Fire. Here she is on the hotel balcony catching up with a friend and relaxing with a bottle of wine and a smoke. See, I can’t do both. For me it’s one or the other, and it depends on the blend. Full Story

She won the Oscar on Sunday. On Monday she went to the salon and had her hair coloured dark, almost black, presumably to resume shooting Catching Fire. See? No detail is too small in an Oscar Campaign. Even the colour of your hair. Think of the Academy voters. As I’ve written several times before, when they see her, fresh in the face, flushed with youth, blonde and sunny, she’s the precocious granddaughter. Full Story

Was it the best performance of the five? Probably not, right? I have personal attachment to Emmanuelle Riva because, well, Amour is my personal nightmare. My parents are Amour. Many of you thought it was Chastain’s Maya in Zero Dark Thirty. Still others identified with Naomi’s courageous mother in The Impossible. Full Story

Do you binge on it or do you wait, savor, only a little bit at a time to draw out the deliciousness of what feels like an actual, real honest profile of the woman everyone wants to be?
