Gisele’s response
As you know, Gisele Bundchen has been taking all kinds of heat since the Super Bowl for getting caught on camera calling out the Patriots receivers to a group of friends that included, interestingly enough, other Patriots’ wives. Were those the same wives who are meangirling her in the press?The wives and their player husbands have apparently hated on Tom Brady’s wife for a long time because they claim she’s mega c-nty to them at team events, supposedly judging them for not being Brazilian supermodels.

I LOVE this story. It might actually help clear up my congestion. As you know, the New York Giants meet the New England Patriots on Sunday at the Super Bowl. It’s NYC vs Boston. It’s a rematch. It’s ugly. It’s trash talk. It’s ...well... if you love sports and entertainment, it’s the best.Check out the cover of today’s New York Post Full Story
The 5 year anniversary of The Presentation
The Academy announced today that Tom Cruise will present at the Oscars, his first in five years. And in front of an audience that will include George Clooney and Brad Pitt who have, over the last decade or so, arguably exceeded him in reputation and prestige. Sanity too? The GMD’s last trip to the Kodak was in 2007. Full Story

I like Kristen Wiig so much but that f-cking choker was so objectionable to me it almost affected how I felt about the wearer, this is what you risk with a terrible accessory. Like, I’m all for understated Balenciaga. And in many ways, Kristen Wiig is very understated Balenciaga. It’s the anti-Marchesa. Full Story
Best SAG Snubbing: Kyra Sedgwick

While in theory we’re restricting ourselves to what happens at the show, in reality certain truths are self-evident – in this case, that Giuliana (Lainey: Duana keeps calling her Giuliana DePandi which is maybe my favourite thing in life, ever) irritated a wide swath of people far more than usual on the red carpet, and, in keeping with the SAGs being the awards where they really get to let it all hang out, they made less of an attempt to hide it.

Moving too fast
My favourite story of the day. Maybe I’m delirious from the altitude here in Utah with all the nosebleeds I’ve been getting but when this report came across my blackberry earlier, I could barely contain myself. Aretha Franklin has cancelled her wedding to her William Wickerson. It’s the statement they released that cracked me up:"Regretfully, To Our Friends and Supporters: Will and I have decided we were moving a little too fast, and there were a number of things that had not been thought through thoroughly.

GG Best Schtick? Sofia Vergara & Julie Bowen

So you saw most of this play out, right? On the carpet, we saw the dresses. Sofia Vergara’s teal – a colour which I already think is kind of alarmingly muted – is tamped down to almost depressing. But it fits her like no other actress’s dress ever does. And other than the mincing down the stairs (time for E! to look into a dumbwaiter, maybe?), she looked comfortable. Full Story
GG Best Swagger: Peter Dinklage

First of all, I’ve never had to defend liking such a critically acclaimed show as I do Game Of Thrones. I know my TV tastes usually run to people ranting their feelings at length. But I am addicted to this show and no, I don’t usually watch fantasy, and yes, the show is way, way worth it by the end of the first episode, let alone the nine awesome hours that follow. Full Story

As reported earlier, the Brange will present - likely separately - at the Globes on Sunday. And now comes word that Madonna will also be handing out a trophy.They’ve never met. Officially.But they’ve exchanged testy words in public.And, as a reader called Stacey reminded me of recently, they also both slept with, at one point or another, Jenny Shimuzu. Full Story

Remember when my friend Lara and I were cut down by Anna Wintour’s eyes at the MET Gala a few years ago? Click here for a refresher. It was the best. I mean, you know that woman is a Master Bitch. And to have experienced it first hand... these are the small joys of the job. Full Story
Mimi’s kidney failure
Here’s a photo Mariah Carey posted on her Twitter and her website: her husband Nick Cannon has been hospitalised for “mild kidney failure”. While he clearly looks distressed, his wife has decided, out of love of course, to cram herself onto that small bed to comfort him, jamming him and his poor kidney into one of the bars. Full Story

Can you think of a better send-off? Mimi posted this on her Twitter yesterday:In Aspen, wearing the outfit I wore for my first ever Christmas video!!As you know, Mimi had twins this year. But the way she’s going on about it, her greatest accomplishment was to get thin again. Full Story
Let it snow…for Mimi!
Mimi says Happy Christmas with a new video! This is what I’m saying about this time of year. Mimi delights me in February. But she really, REALLY delights me in December. Is this her LA house?OMG.
