Dear Gossips,
How civilised.
Madonna and Guy Ritchie, a quickie divorce, reportedly not battling over money, and agreeing to share custody of the children. And of course the British press giving Guy all the credit for managing the situation without much McCartney-style drama. He went out for dinner last night with his two boys. A few pap agencies happened to be there. Coincidence or conspiracy?
Well played Guy Ritchie.
Thank you to everyone who emailed about RDJ’s lunch box – late day post yesterday, scroll down to get caught up. Apparently it’s a pelican case, used to protect camera equipment. He also happens to be wearing a scarf that comes free in the December issue of UK In Style. Why is this cute to me? For more on the scarf, click here.
It’s Friday! New articles all day. Have a great weekend!

I haven’t watched Grey’s Anatomy since they killed off the lesbian story to kowtow to the MiniVan Majority. Clearly I’m in the minority. And the MiniVan always wins, continuing the recent trend and perpetuating what’s becoming the truth: Good taste is dead. But bad taste makes more money. Full Story
Please… please don’t suck. Like, you’re so amazing now because you make movies. And that is SO great. But there’s always the beginning. And the beginning was the best. The beginning was the Bluth. And the Bluths were killed too soon. But now they have new life. And you are apparently the only hold out. Full Story
Expected to be a major blockbuster over the holiday season – because what we need over the holiday season is to see a doomsday movie! – promotion is just kicking off now for The Day the Earth Stood Still with Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Connelly who has been out of the spotlight for quite some time.

The cast of Twilight dressed up for In Style. What I said in my movie review about Rob Pattinson as Edward arriving at school in sunglasses announcing his new status as Bella’s boyfriend – this photo of him with Kellan Lutz pretty much captures it. Full Story

The internets are buzzing that John Krasinski and Emily Blunt are dating. It originated from Star Magazine. Repeat: it originated from Star Magazine. So they were at the same party one night and maybe approached the bar five minutes apart? Anything is possible, and it could totally happen once a year that Star nails a story, but the prudent thing to do would be to wait for another report, non? But John and Emily would indeed me amazing. Full Story
Am about to have a very smug moment. If you can’t stand it, click away quickly. Wasn’t intending on writing about the New York Times piece titled “Angelina Jolie’s Carefully Orchestrated Image” because, well, why is this news? But I keep getting the emails so… Go through the archives of this blog and you will find that message repeated repeatedly: when it comes to the Pitts, they are the masters of the game. Full Story
Have these two been linked yet? Clearly the words “economic crisis” don’t exist for the folks at the Atlantis Palm Resort and Palm Jumeirah in Dubai. Some say they spent $20 million alone on travel arrangements for celebrities. And it was an eclectic celebrity mix too. Even the rather low key and elusive Chris Tucker showed up. Full Story
At the huge party in Dubai last night, the grand opening of Atlantis, The Palm Resort and the Palm Jumeirah (crazy amounts of money thrown around, holy f-ck) I’m told that Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson got into a HUGE argument at 5am and their screaming match quickly turned physical as both girls were seen pushing each other around, unable to take their disagreement behind closed doors. Full Story
Winona Ryder collapsed the other day on a flight from LA to London and was met at Heathrow by ambulance. Her people insist that the story was entirely exaggerated. That she felt shitty but then recovered and begged off about the hospital but the airline insisted anyway and it turned into this thing. British gossips however report that she had suffered from an overdose of tranquilisers. Full Story
The red one – 3 times this week she’s taken it out with her. Remarkable for us? Of course not. But for celebrities it’s a rarity. Then again, Britney’s known for wearing the same boots over and over and over. And you know, despite the meltdown, she can afford not to. Does this humanise her a little? I can’t decide. Full Story
Congratulations Jenn P in Halifax on successfully defending your PhD! Five long years of hard work – wishing you the best celebratory weekend ever! Full Story

Dear Gossips,
Oh Holy Sparkles.
Twilight screened last night – congratulations to winners in Toronto and Vancouver who attended. As for the movie itself… I dragged my friend Fiona with me. MUCH more on that later. And Ebola’s intentions too. She’s single again, do you care?
Yes.
Not because it’s about her but because it’s about her next victim.
Thursday – blogging all day in between hosting the Juno Awards press conference! Are you ready Vancouver? March 26 – 29th… party, party, party for 4 nights straight!
Yours in gossip,
Lainey
PS. Will you join us at a Night of New Beginnings on November 27th at Covenant House Vancouver? The event will benefit our annual 30 days for 30 nights campaign, covering the cost of our crisis shelter for the entire month of December, providing food, clothing, counseling, and a bed to kids on our city streets. Let’s chat if we see each other there. We can talk about Body or Baby. Click here for more information.
Please. Like it’s even a contest, right? But RDJ makes Jude Law almost cool. Like… oh, you’re worthy of his company? Ok maybe I want to look at you and not say something disparaging. You can have a Downey pass. That’s the benefit of friendship with the RDJ. Here they are after a day of shooting having dinner. Full Story
Nope. This is Kristen Stewart out and about today in New York and as you can see, as I wrote in the she is gorgeous. Look at that face! Seriously. I came out of that theatre not pining for Rob Pattinson but girlcrushing HARD on Kristen Stewart. Because: - That’s the face of a bitch. That is not Bella. Full Story
Britney Spears was the most packaged pop star at the height of it all. Manufactured and produced to the point of oppression… And here she is, after nearly 2 years of tumult, about to release a documentary that sounds more honest than anything anyone is doing right now. EW.com... Full Story
SPOILER WARNING! But then again, if you’re going, you’ve likely read it. So I guess it’s not that spoiley. But just in case, click away if you can’t handle it. So. The movie. It was embarrassing, it was cheesy, it was cheesy, it was CHEESY, it was unintentionally f-cking hilarious, it was cringe-worthy, it was appalling… In other words, just like the book. Full Story
She just arrived on the carpet at the new Atlantis Hotel on Palm Jumeirah in Dubai – they spent sick money pulling this party off with heavyweights like Charlize Theron and even DeNiro scheduled to attend. And yes, Samantha Ronson has been booked to DJ the late night session. Which is why Lindsay Lohan is there, wearing black, and almost at her scary weight. Full Story
