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
You must Believe...and then Delete
Textbook. Again. The exceptions are the ones who DON’T f-ck up, remember. And there are fewer and fewer and fewer of them. Then again, it depends on your definition of f-cking up. If they’re millionaires many times over, that may not qualify as a f-ck up, at least not yet. By Justin Bieber’s standards, being rich means he’s not a mess. Full Story
Justin Bieber’s heroic recovery
Our hero, Justin Bieber, God’s special gift, having spent part of last night under medical supervision, has been released, and was photographed outside his hotel this morning... With a cry-face on. The agency caption to these shots is hilarious: Bieber has to be “restrained” by his bodyguard from attacking. Full Story

TIME posted an article yesterday with the following headline: James Franco Is the 21st Century’s First Great Public Intellectual I suppose the writer was impressed with Franco’s poem Full Story
Porny: on cocks and babies
Jessica Simpson inadvertently revealed on Jimmy Kimmel last night that she’s having a boy. Porny is currently promoting Fashion Star, although mostly she just talks about being pregnant which, I guess, isn’t entirely her fault because when you’re pregnant, that’s all anyone ever asks you about.

Taylor Swift is anti-sexist...but also can’t speak for herself
I try every time. Every time there’s a Taylor Swift news item, I try very, very hard to take the pro. Sometimes I can do it, and you yell at me. And sometimes I can’t. Because, well, sometimes she’s indefensible. You cannot defend this. You CANNOT defend someone who voluntarily chooses to NOT speak for herself. Full Story
Worst Human Impression As Host: Seth MacFarlane

The thing with Seth MacFarlane is that the man creates all kinds of characters. I feel like you watch one of his episodes of his shows and you’ve seen them all, but let’s say for the sake of argument that they’re varied, at least a little bit -- in short, that he’s the kind of person who actually understands how human beings work.

Worst Oscar Mislabel: Octavia Spencer

Octavia Spencer wore a gorgeous sort of pale ochre-y deep cream piece of fanciness which suited her really nicely with an off-centre neckline of which is surprising and unusual without being too try-hard-y. This is exactly the right note you want to strike for the year after you win an Oscar – understated and beautiful and it’s not about you but oh, how good the year has been to you. Full Story
Oscar Whys: Munn, Stamos, Glanville

I asked on Twitter why Olivia Munn was at the Oscars. Someone replied that she was in Magic Mike. Yeah so was Joe Manganiello. You think Joe Manganiello should be at the Oscars? Still, Olivia Munn had more reason, I guess if you stretch, than John Stamos. Was Uncle Jesse there to play the drums? Or was he there to remind me that my longtime dream of him hooking up with Jennifer Aniston will never happen? He doesn’t even make movies! But perhaps the most egregious -- the f-ck was Brandi Glanville doing there? Who? Eddie Cibrian’s ex-wife. Full Story
Four Reasons Lisa Lampinelli Can’t Use the N Word
The inexplicably famous comedian Lisa Lampinelli is in trouble today for using the n-word. Not that the context even really matters, but it’s kind of interesting/weird to note that she used the word in a tweet to describe Lena Dunham, with an accompanying twitpic of them at an award show. To me Lisa has always had a strong unfunny-morning-radio vibe, so I can’t say I’m particularly surprised that she would use this word, but what’s shocking is how stupid the defense is. Full Story
Downton reboot

A few emails came in yesterday re: the Downton Abbey finale. Question: Is Downton Abbey more like... Gossip Girl or Days Of Our Lives and less like, say, Mad Men or Breaking Bad? Same quality, right? Only one has English accents and period piece clothing. Season 1 of Downton Abbey, as I’ve noted previously, was good. Full Story
When Photo Assumption goes terribly wrong

Everyone was fist pumping yesterday after this picture of Adele was posted suggesting she may have been admonishing Chris Brown at the Grammys for not standing up for Frank Ocean. That’s why it’s called Photo Assumption: it’s an assumption that is baseless, because the image can’t tell you the context. Full Story
James Franco arts up Kristen Stewart’s ass
James Franco's new art exhibit is called Gay Town. It’s showing in Berlin. Click here if you want to go. But first, maybe check out a few of the pieces here because you might want to save your money. Apparently Kristen Stewart provided some inspiration? As you can see, Franco features “K-STEW” as Snow White with her ass out. Full Story
Rooney Mara is shyyyyyyyyyyyy, OK?

Rooney Mara and Jude Law are currently promoting Side Effects in Europe. Here they are yesterday at the Berlinale, photo call and premiere. She wore black and white Balenciaga for the daytime event, and black Valentino in the evening. Very strong styling. And smiling only with no teeth. Because as she told Vogue last month: “Why should I ‘fake smile’? It feels disingenuous to me. Full Story
