We need more Shia LaBeouf in our lives right now. When Shia’s around (gossip), it’s always a good time. When Shia and Alec Baldwin are both around, we will be happy. The New York Times interviewed the cast -- Baldwin, Ben Foster, Tom Sturridge -- of Orphans recently. Needless to say, Shia came up. Full Story

You know what’s Good For Gossip? Shia LaBeouf. Hormonal Shia LaBeouf. Are his moods in line with the moon? Whatever. The watching is fun. He’s giving us a lot of fun. As you know, Shia was supposed to be on Broadway in Orphans. Then he quit over creative differences after throwing down with that other queen Alec Baldwin. Full Story

Girl Sh-t Is The Best Sh-t is a common phrase we use here at LaineyGossip and one I stole from my friend Lara. It really is. But Boy Sh-t is pretty great too. Previous examples of Boy Sh-t include Joseph Gordon-Levitt vs Michael Cera (click here for a refresher), Michael Bay vs Hugo Weaving, and Shia LaBeouf vs Jason Clarke and Tom Hardy on the set of Lawless (click here Full Story

It was reported yesterday that Shia LaBeouf had left the Broadway production of Orphans starring Tom Sturridge and Alec Baldwin. Shia and Alec? Those two hotheads? In hindsight, of course it was impossible, disastrous even. But it may have been more than just the two of them yelling at each other. Full Story

It hasn’t even been a week and I already desperately miss Jack Donaghy. “Good God, I can see every line and pore in your face. It looks like a YMCA climbing wall.” And while Tina Fey and the writers were the creative genius behind his acerbic, WASPy insults, the delivery was all Alec Baldwin, who epitomized a charismatic and amoral one percenter. Full Story

I don’t think we can talk about this until you’ve seen it. So here, please watch. The new Rock of Ages trailer. I’ll wait for you on the other side. If you’re looking for someone to snark on it, you’ll have to click away. I can’t snark on it. Because I LOVE IT. I love it without irony. Full Story

So Alec Baldwin was supposed to appear in the opening video. Baldwin made a joke about News Corp and the phone hacking business. The bit was subsequently cut. As such, he decided not to be part of it at all which is why Leonard Nimoy ended up playing the president. (Source Full Story

It may be an unpopular sentiment but Steven Martin and Alec Baldwin worked for me. We laughed heartily in the press room. But they couldn’t save a show that was too long, poorly directed, and terribly produced. Enjoyed the 5 actor tribute to the Best Actor and Actress categories, it worked to build suspense, but that dumbass montage to horror with the mismatched music and the uneven pacing of the programme gave it an overall feeling of. Full Story

After my post on An Evening With Meryl Streep at the ROM many of you asked if there was video. This was the interview with Johanna Schneller during which Streep offered many, many memorable insights including the one about being “capable”. Full Story

Now here’s a woman who hasn’t invited Ebola Hilton onto her show for a guest appearance. Tina Fey once called Ebola a “piece of sh-t”. Tina is everything to be admired and respected in a woman in entertainment. If Tina Fey publicly called that disease a piece of sh-t, it IS a piece of sh-t. Full Story

Tracy Morgan name checking Cate Blanchett made my life. He should hire himself out for speech acceptances. On the internets this morning there are some MiniVan huffy puffies who actually didn’t get it. Like please. How can you not laugh at Tracy Morgan? Poor quality video below. And of course…who else but Tina Fey. Full Story

Kim Basinger turned 55 this week. And still she looks younger than Nicole Kidman, right? I hope my body’s that tight at 55. She doesn’t seem overly hungry either. Must be good genes. This is Kim last night at the premiere of While She Was Out with Leonardo DiCaprio’s bestie Lukas Haas. Full Story

Kim Basinger has been embroiled in a bitter custody battle with ex husband Alec Baldwin for years. And because Hollywood hates women over 40, her profile over the same period has been significantly lower while Alec’s career continues to thrive. But enough bra burning for one day… this is about Kim in Germany for some event yesterday showing off some serious thinnification. Full Story
