Is it a good idea or a bad idea when your dress matches the font at the photo wall, especially when the shade is a weird nude? Well, that’s one way to get in tight with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. They’re easy. Remember The Tourist? Remember, um, Jennifer Love Hewitt? Oh I know they’re trying to clean up their image, the HFPA, but, to borrow from True Blood, these people can be glamoured. Full Story

Lea Michele and Cory Monteith worked the carpet together at the Do Something Awards last night. As you can see, they’re playing the “let me look up at you adoringly” pose. And the “whisper something funny, our inside joke, and we can laugh together” one. But while Lea’s found a willing partner in the game, her dress, unfortunately, is a total bust. Full Story

But first... Look at H7! She’s walking on her chubby little legs! H7’s mother is promoting her collection in Dublin. Check her out, working hard in a trench coat. Never a candid moment for Victoria Beckham, right? Not even with a microphone in her face. I love the absurdity of that shot. Full Story

Here are the Spices in London today to announce Viva Forever, a stage production based on their songs. Think Mamma Mia only replace Dancing Queen with Wannabe and Waterloo with Spice Up Your Life and “the story of a beautiful, talented girl and her best friends who get swept up in the obsession of today's TV celebrity culture". Full Story

Met Back-Hard Pose-Hard: Renee Zellweger

As I’ve already noted on previous occasions, it is not a relaxing exercise watching Renee Zellweger posing on a carpet. So much effort is involved. The first time I covered the Costume Institute Gala it was with my friend Lara – hi Lara!!! – and we were obviously jerking off over every single arrival and I remember standing beside Lara as Renee was doing her thing, and afterwards, after she had ducked into the doors, both of unconsciously started rolling our shoulders and turning our necks, as if we needed a massage, just from seeing Renee lock her body into place for the cameras. Full Story

SAG Hernia: Lea Michele

I’ve had hernias on the mind for days, when Charlie Sheen apparently busted one last week after an allnighter with a briefcase full of cocaine. Last night, while Lea Michele was over-working it on the carpet, I thought she was going to bust one too. The concentration on her face, while posing, and adjusting, sucking in, angling her shoulders, she had the focus and the determination of a Chinese kid practising piano – what’s up Amy Chua!?! I’m telling you, Victoria Beckham would have looked relaxed in comparison. Full Story

Chill. I know that’s not the official term. But I only have so much room in my titles and “the wife of the Prime Minister” is a f-cking mouthful so can you not be such a tightass this one time and just deal? Because otherwise you won’t fully enjoy the amazingness of these pictures. Full Story

Little body, big shoes, pose hard

Totally down with Lea Michele’s dress. And she’s totally down with her own dress. Because she’s giving herself an aneurysm posing in it. Wonder if they have to ask her to leave the step and repeat, like if some poor wrangler gets assigned the task of ahem-ing Ms Michele to make room for the 10th Kardashian. Full Story

A wasted effort

It’s Lainey. Am writing this during the arrivals at the opening of the Cannes Film Festival. We’re shooting the carpet and I’m laughing my Chinese ass off at Kate Beckinsale. Evidently no one told her Cate Blanchett is coming. But what else did we expect? The most notorious OverDresser in the business, of course Kate Beckinsale came like a preening swan, of course she brought her hardest Try, of course she doesn’t realise it never, ever amounts to much, and especially not on a night when Queen Cate takes it up everyone else’s ass. Full Story

MET Pain: Renee Zellweger

Does that hurt? Because it looks like it hurts. To be her. It looks like it hurts a lot to be Renee Zellweger. Some stars, you see them, you feel comfortable, at ease, very relaxed. Other stars, like Renee, as soon as the photo comes up you cringe, there’s an ache in your back, you automatically adjust, maybe rub out a shoulder. Full Story

MET Sit DOWN: Jessica Szohr

Someone actually posed harder than Renee Zellweger last night, especially when you consider who she actually is. Annoying, barely relevant Vanessa on Gossip Girl showed up at the Met Gala with a lot of Try on her face and a wannabe Jennifer Lopez expression leaving us with two questions: Who? And Why Is? Look at this bitch go for it. Full Story

It’s like we conjured her! Mentioned the other day that Posh hasn’t been papped in weeks. This is not her usual form. Then several of you mentioned seeing her on Idol the other day. And last night Victoria Beckham stepped out to attend the BritWeek Charity Event in LA, poseharding her fake tits off in a black tuxedo with nothing underneath. Full Story

Renee Z’s short hair

It’s been short a while but last night at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of My Own Love Song, Renee styled it like a pixie that had her hair hacked off on the sides by a teenage gardener who wasn’t paying attention. Hair, I think, is hard for her. Because hers is so limp and thin. Good for no extensions. Full Story
