Somewhere between Brange-Aniston and LeAnne-Eddie-Brandi lives Kate Mara/Max Minghella/Justin Long. Maybe only 3 of you care about this but since Mara is in House Of Cards and everyone is talking about House Of Cards, it may be more interesting than you think. It’s interesting to me because I was one of the few who actually saw Ten Years. Full Story

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are going strong, and despite the Oscar snub, my goodness is it paying off. Is Argo pretty much a lock for Best Picture at this point? (I hated it, did anyone else hate it? [Lainey: I liked it very much.] And I usually really enjoy Ben’s direction). The success of the Affleck campaign is due in no small part to Ben and Jen’s Walt and June Cleaver act. Full Story

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban went out for Valentine’s Day in LA last night -- dinner at The Eveleigh, what my friends in LA call “the Australian place”; it’s run by Aussies. I reviewed The Eveleigh last year. Click here for that article. Full Story

The Vampire Diaries Season 4 Episode 14 recap It took damn long enough!  Seriously, this episode, with the wandering and the moaning, and one person after another discovering that in fact there was only cure enough for one person, was kind of exhausting, wasn’t it? I mean, we get it already, and nobody’s relationships really changed, did they?    That’s not entirely true, I suppose. Full Story

Britney Spears went out for dinner last night and they’re calling this a “mystery man”. It’s been a month or so since it was formally announced that Britney and Jason Trawick were done. Everyone’s waiting then for Britney to find love again. Britney, as we know, finds love fast. Full Story

It was quite a tame Valentine’s Day, celebrity-wise. Jessica took Jackpot Johnson out for a spin, Goop showed us the joy of cooking for one and apparently Brad gifted Angie with breath mints. So when in doubt, turn to the mothers. Vanessa Minnillo shared a page from her private family diary with PEOPLE. Full Story

US Weekly printed a hilarious Valentine’s Day story yesterday about the Brange. According to the magazine, Brad Pitt gave Angelina Jolie a “breath freshening” product as a symbol of his love. The Eat Whatever system includes a gel tablet and breath mints to fix the odour coming from her mouth. Full Story

Many years ago, I wrote about the hierarchy of celebrity tabloids. In short, PEOPLE and US Weekly at the top, and the bottom feeders are Star, IN TOUCH, and Life & Style. If you’ve been reading my blog long enough, you know I rarely bother with a story that originates from the last three. Full Story

Mimi’s already taken over Christmas and now she’s decided that Valentine’s Day must be hers too. Think of every Valentine’s Day cliché and convention. Red? Petals? Balloons? Butterflies? Bubbles? Carriage rides? Please. Full Story

Nonnie! Look at your hair! And you’re cutting it all off today -- 18 inches! -- for charity! It’s amazing that your hair is providing wigs for kids AND that the effort has raised money in support of pediatric oncology research at Stollery Children’s Hospital, Make-a-Wish Foundation, and Ronald McDonald House. Full Story

Porny's freeloader took her to lunch today in Santa Monica presumably to celebrate Valentine's. As you can see, she's in pink, the prototype for Pregnant Barbie if they ever released one on the market. Is Pink the official colour of the expectant? Why? Why isn't it forest green? Forest green is fertile. Full Story

GOOP is not celebrating Valentine’s Day. Instead, she says in the new GOOP that Valentine’s Day is “just a f-cked up reminder of what you don’t have”. For her? An editor. So the newsletter is full of single suggestions. Cook alone, eat alone, listen alone, culture alone. Full Story
