Beyonce copyright
Remember when Beyonce complained about her unflattering photos after the Super Bowl? Click here for a refresher. That’s what happens when you complain. If you don’t complain, no one notices. As soon as you do complain, they notice all the time. Full Story
Dating Portraits
Is this... how it’s done now? I haven’t been single in a long time. I guess these days when you’re single and then suddenly not single you not only update your status on the social networking, if you’re Tiger Woods, you also have PROFESSIONAL PORTRAITS taken to post on Facebook Full Story
JT Fatigue

I have it. Do you have it? For how many years we were hoping Justin Timberlake would return to music and quit with the acting, and now, only a few weeks after he’s returned to music, I’m sick of him already. I’m sick of him everywhere -- late night television, variety shows, award shows, festivals, commercials, radio, online. Full Story
Gwyneth’s sad smut ...for sale?
Gwyneth Paltrow covers the new issue of SELF looking really great in a blue and green patterned dress. She is currently promoting her new cookbook It’s All Good, about how to eliminate all the pleasure out of your diet, or something. In the interview G acknowledges that she wasn’t well liked.

Why don’t you make it more obvious?
Here’s what I wrote in the intro to the site last Thursday: “...curiously enough, the prom king hasn’t been seen with his kids since Sunday. Coincidence or conspiracy? Maybe he’ll emerge on the weekend out of obligation, just so it won’t seem so obvious. Full Story

Check this out -- Justin Timberlake hosted an art exhibit last night with Amy Adams showing the work of her partner Darren Le Gallo. JT’s wife was there too and together they had their moment with Paul Thomas Anderson who, of course, directed Adams recently in The Master, for which she received yet another Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination.

Kate Bosworth at 30
Whenever I see anything on Kate Bosworth, I immediately send it to Lainey because I know Kate holds a place in her heart (right next to Emmy Rossum). Kate turned 30 on January 2 and it was probably going to get her some good holiday coverage (since it’s a notoriously slow gossip time) until Jessica Simpson, Kanye West and their fetuses took over the conversation.

Jessica Alba shops at Target
VM/CAD /FAMEFLYNET, WENN
Oh please. Even Jacek looked at these shots last night and rolled his eyes. Jessica Alba is just like you, ok? She’s a mom now. Here’s a recipe for the best lasagne, and meanwhile she buys her baby toys where you do too... At the Target. Which makes her an authority on parenting. Full Story
Sean Penn needs love
Sean Penn wrote about Sean Penn for Esquire. As celebrity interview/articles go, this one isn’t a puff piece. There is some insight. There is a lot of honesty, and it goes hand in hand with a lot of self-congratulation, but at least it’s not boring. He comes from a generation of actors -- let’s call it, arbitrarily, the Class of ’81: the Sean Penns, the Tom Cruises -- who are not boring, and certainly so much more interesting than the Ashley Greenes and the Chace Crawfords being trotted out one after another.

Oh no, 8 cm isn’t private at all
The rule from these assholes is that you’re not allowed to ask them about their personal lives. You’re not allowed to ask them if they’re dating X or if they broke up with Y. Because it’s private, they say. And it’s insulting to be talking about their private relationships when they’re trying to promote their work. Full Story
Twilight’s two future Oscar winners
Wenn, FameFlynet
Don’t be ridiculous. This is not about Anna Kendrick and Kristen Stewart -- why would you think that? The title tells you everything you need to know. Obviously the title refers to Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz. Last month Lutz declared during a magazine interview that he would win an Oscar one day. Full Story
The Timberlakes give back
FameFlynet, Splash
Two weeks ago Justin Timberlake was jumping on his wife’s head on the cover of PEOPLE Magazine. Then his dickhead friends put together a video exploiting homeless people for comic relief as a gift to the happy couple. JT subsequently issued an apology that was all about how funny he is, with no mention of the people he insulted. Full Story
Baby Ten goes for a walk so you can meet him
Judging by how close-up the shots are, it’s a set-up. (Lainey: it is indeed. These are FilmMagic photos -- and they don’t “pap”. They’re being sold via Getty Images as “exclusive coverage”. There’s nothing accidental about them. They’re not cheap either. Full Story
Pre-natal famewhoring
Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard announced yesterday that they’re expecting a baby. I’m staying at Duana’s right now in Toronto and when I told her this on Monday morning she got all giggly and happy and immediately started researching due dates. It’s a Veronica Mars thing. As you know, Du and I disagree on K Bell -- she adores her and I find her insufferable. Full Story
