Mimi in the morning
Wenn, Splash
What a great start to Memorial Day Weekend for those of you in America: Mimi on GMA. It had all the elements of a classic Mimi appearance: -She needed help walking. Several times. She SUMMONED help walking. Several times. -Her dress almost fell off. Because she always wears clothes that are too small. Full Story
Taylor, Selena, and Justin Bieber

There were two moments worth watching last night at the Billboard Music Awards: Chris Brown singing BADLY off-key, and all the drama that went down between Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, and Justin Bieber. More on this in a minute. First, let’s discuss fashion. HATE the white Atelier Versace on Gomez. Full Story
New couple alert!
Just one more week to go... And in advance of the release of Season 4 of Arrested Development on Netflix, here are Jason Bateman and Will Arnett walking hand in hand in New York yesterday, photo opping for the paps. God I love them so much. We were just talking about the preternaturally preserved Rob Lowe. Full Story
GOOP vs Chloe

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chloe Sevigny -- don’t these two seem like the most natural enemies since cats and dogs? Since Kelly and Brenda? Since Mariah and all other performers? They’re both so pretentious but in slightly different ways, I can’t believe these two haven’t clashed before, but now it’s happening and it’s perfect. Full Story
Carey let her hair down

But look how YOUNG she looks! So innocent! Here they are, Carey Mulligan, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, arriving at the Palais for The Great Gatsby to open the Cannes Film Festival. I gasped when I saw her. Am attaching the few photos that are available now, and I’ll add more to the post as they’re released. Full Story
Cannes opening white

The opening night red carpet is now underway in Cannes. Here’s how it works at the Palais: The non-festival people usually arrive first. This includes Euro actors, models, Eva Longoria most years, and people like Phoebe Price. They blast loud music out from the speakers to entertain the massive crowds that line the Croisette.

Hack the GOOP Trip
It’s expensive. It’s awkward. It’s web-based. We must be talking GOOP here, right? Right. Over on Groupon this week, for the low low LOW (ie. high high HIGH) price of $2000 you can join the official “all-inclusive” GOOP NY Getaway. Full Story
“I’m used to a car with some stairs”

Inside 2 weeks! Are you ready? The Arrested Development Season 4 official trailer is now available online. Gob, for some reason, but I guess he doesn’t really need a reason, is doing leg kicks on stage in a towel now. And Buster... Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-maaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Was I the only one totally delighted to see that Kitty Sanchez was featured so prominently? And, amazingly, not in the way you’d expect? Or is that too risqué for a trailer? So, are we marathon-ing this together on May 26 on Netflix or what? Like I said before, I propose we start at midnight. Full Story
Mimi is #Beautiful
There's no better way to start the weekend than with some Mimi. And this kind of Mimi means it could be a spectacular weekend. I know I ask you for a lot. Here's another request: promise you will watch this. Because I promise you that there is no way you can come out of it without a lot of joy in your heart. Full Story
What Gwyneth’s Girl Sh-t sounds like
Click here if you missed my Girl Sh-t post on Gwyneth Paltrow yesterday about how she slagged the MET Gala and patronised Miranda Kerr. The photos in that article were taken of my G out to dinner on Wednesday night and it turns out she was meeting up with two radio hosts from Australia who’d won a contest, or something, it doesn’t matter. Full Story
Girl Sh-t, by Gwyneth Paltrow
Splash, INF
Like handbags, Girl Sh-t comes in high end and low end. Low end would be, say, the housewives of whatever city. Slightly above that are the WAGs of whatever sport. For the luxury Girl Sh-t, you look to Anna Wintour. And, of course, my G. Have you seen this yet? Sasha sent it to me this morning. Full Story
Punk is not going to Punk
Could Iman have pulled off Anna Wintour’s floral Chanel at the MET Gala on Monday? How is what you’re wearing Punk, Iman? It’s not. I married David Bowie. If you’ve not seen this yet, you’re about to experience a love explosion. It’s Bowie’s video for The Next Day, directed by Floria Sigismundi, who also directed his The Stars video. Full Story
Best MET Part 2: SJP

YASSSSSSSSSS. With an A. YAS. This is Giles Deacon. You think her old friend Lee McQueen would have approved? Please. Those are TARTAN VELVET KNEE-HIGH BOOTS. And we haven’t even started on the headdress yet. It’s ridiculous. She knows it’s ridiculous. It’s supposed to be ridiculous. Full Story
Best MET Hair: Nicole Richie

Duana hadn’t seen this before she went to bed last night. Her first note to me this morning was: Love the hair, hate the dress. I guess the point of the dress was not to compete with the hair. But I agree. We could have used some personality there. Still... these were the style balls we were hoping to see. Full Story
