*Kerry Washington is my favourite of all the favourites It’s not a “gossip gift” per se, but this potential drama nominees roundtable is the best gift I could have gotten. It’s delicious. I know all these women, I watch all their shows – it feels strangely indulgent to have them all in the same room and saying things that they maybe shouldn’t. Full Story

Duana and I were discussing Kanye West’s girlfriend’s Givenchy, which I’m convinced was a private joke between Anna Wintour and Riccardo Tisci (I am not buying those pictures, you can see them somewhere else), and she posited that perhaps the only redeeming quality about that dress is that the gloves are built-in seamlessly. Full Story

You know that saying? That when you dislike someone the way he holds his fork will annoy you, but if you like him and he throws his plate in your lap, you’ll still like him?    This is how I feel about Kerry Washington’s dress. I love everything she puts on her body, this woman. Full Story

The issue, I think, with this dress in stills is that the chiffon kind of looks like it has a harsh edge. I felt that way and thought I didn’t like the hem – but then when I saw it moving, when she came out onstage (did we know she was that wee?)  and I fell in love with it. So sophisticated, so gorgeous, and most importantly, so easy. Full Story

Let’s start with the part where I started worrying about my job security.   Because when the absolutely fearless Joshua Malina started tweeting about the Emmys – calling Hayden Panetierre  Connie Britton’s “Puppet”, and expressing sorrow that the In Memoriam montage did not include Chris Brown – well, I could hear Lainey falling in love from across the country. Full Story

As expected Mad Men received the most nominations: 17. But American Horror Story also received 17. Really??? What is it with industry people and Ryan Murphy anyway? It’s awesome for Connie Britton, obviously. And still, even though I know I should be over it by now, if Connie Britton is to be associated with any show that receives 17 Emmy nominations in one year, it really should have been Friday Night Lights. Full Story

But before we get to Leo, who spent the weekend in Mexico promoting Sony’s upcoming Django Unchained, can we talk about the first poster for Django Unchained? Which does not actually SAY the words “Django Unchained”?Or Leonardo DiCaprio?Or Jamie Foxx?No, right now, Django Unchained is all about the Tarantino and everything that comes with the Tarantino. Full Story

Shonda Rimes created Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice, and wrote Britney Spears’s Crossroads (!). Her new show, Scandal, premiered on ABC last Thursday. Did you watch? I saw the pilot episode at the TCAs in January and enjoyed it. But the version I saw was before it was given the network treatment. What happened on Thursday was. Full Story

Always Mrs Huxtable, right? And she’s ageless. Am late this morning because I got caught up on YouTube looking at old clips. Remember the Dragon Lady? And when Peter went to the dentist? I’m telling you, after all this time, it’s still good. Maybe for different reasons, sure, but it’s still good. Full Story

Style-wise… Naomi Watts. She was at TIFF yesterday at the Swarovski party and also on the carpet for her film Mother & Child. This jumpsuit and those shoes, it’s the best I’ve seen so far. She looked incredible. Chic, confident, comfortable, and tiny. Naomi seemed subdued last night. Full Story

Bono is selling t-shirts. It’s a joint effort with his wife’s clothing line (Edun) – celebrity photos on tees sold at Nordstrom directing all funds to Lesotho where the tees are made. Ben Affleck, Liv Tyler, Julianne Moore, my Gwyneth, Kerry Washington, and a host of others have participated as part of the One Campaign Full Story
