Dear Gossips,

It’s fun, non? Predicting the Sexiest Man Alive? Click here if you missed the list yesterday and thank you for your nominations for overlooked candidates. They’ll be addressed today, including Colin Firth, RDJ, and Skarsgard. As for those of you – and there are many – who believe it will be President Obama. I agree… he is certainly popular, People Magazine would no doubt offer it to him, and it’s a strong, strong probability. But this is a rather frivolous honour for frivolous people. Is it the best time for the President to be engaging in frivolity? It’s definitely not my expertise but if I were handling his PR right now, I’d think seriously before agreeing to allow the President to be portrayed as a sex symbol rather than a serious head of state. Then again, I just gossip. I am not qualified for much else.

It’s Friday. Am online all day. Have a great weekend.

Yours in gossip,

Lainey

PS. On November 26th I will host the 5th Annual Covenant House Night of New Beginnings Gala at Birks Vancouver to benefit our “30 days for 30 nights” campaign, raising funds to support a full month of service in December, our busiest month of the year. Come for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, amazing silent and live auction items, great raffle prizes, a fashion show, and gossip with me on the side. For the kids. You can help make a difference in the lives of homeless youth during the holiday season. Look forward to seeing you there. Click here for more information.

Hamm in Vancouver

He arrived today, Don Draper aka Jon Hamm did. Very handsome. Picked up some Tim Hortons before hopping in the car, off to work here in Vancouver on Sucker Punch. It’s a small role. He’s called High Roller. Sounds perfect. A man among the girls – Abbie Cornish, Vanessa Hudgens, Carlo Gugino, Jenna Malone, in tandem with Sucker Punch, Jon has been working for several weeks on Ben Affleck’s The Town, and has a role in James Franco’s upcoming Howl as Jake Erlich the famed attorney.

One more argument for…

Have to give Lorella credit for this. She reminded me: One more argument in favour of Colin Firth as Sexiest Man Alive. I forgot about this video. And if you haven’t seen it, well, it’s the only way you should start your weekend. Bridget Jones, esteemed journalist, interviews Colin Firth. Full Story

GG politics and a Ryan Gosling story

The episodes keep getting more pointless and ridiculous and this time there was no dress porn. No joy at all. Also Vanessa’s moral spray came back and sucked the happiness out of everyone. We were forced to care about Tripp, we continued to marvel at how Jenny doesn’t matter, we wondered why an 18 year is all of a sudden David Plouffe, and Robert Pattinson should sue Patrick Roberts for being too short and gross.

Alexander Skarsgard SMA?

I hear you. I want him to be too. But this is a prediction. And the prediction is based on a magazine serving a very specific demographic… Alexander Skarsgard, along with Sam Trammell, Rutina Wesley, and Michelle Forbes were in Paris yesterday promoting True Blood as the show is now being pushed internationally.

Little Sci’s little friend

It warms my degenerate heart to see Little Sci tentatively reaching out to someone her own age. Because it would suck to have to hang out with Sci people your entire life. But away from Daddy’s watchful Xenu eyes, Little Sci seems to be expanding her horizons. She’s with mom Katie Holmes in New York shooting a movie called The Romantics. Full Story

B & J public cuddle

Beyonce was a big winner last at the EMAs and in a rare show of public affection thanked her husband: “There is only one person I want to thank. And that is Jay for putting a ring on it.” Cuuuuute. Backstage they were even cuddly in front of the cameras. This almost never happens. Cuuuuute. Full Story

Restrain yourself

If you watch this video, you will have to restrain yourself from doing bad things. Because JailBait will pour acid all over your last f-cking nerve. Dean somehow found this. And you can watch me address it on camera tonight on etalk – a behind the scenes video of Miley Cyrus first being interviewed by twins, and then by the dad, speaking in that grating voice, like, this and like that, and like, whatever, and like cool, and like nailpolish y’all.

What else is there to look at? Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry arrived back in LA yesterday from New York with baby Nahla, all 3 colour coordinated, all 3 styled perfectly, all 3 ridiculously beautiful, reminding us what ordinary really means.

Colin Firth SMA?

Many of you wrote yesterday pointing out, quite rightly, that he at least deserved to be included in the analysis. I apologise for the oversight. This is Colin Firth last night at 2 events in LA – first a screening of A Single Man and then at the BAFTA/Brittania Awards wearing a tux and, sigh, my favourite smile. Full Story

November 6, 2009 – Smutty Shout-Outs

Just fedexed 3 dresses for donation (Lida Baday, Sweet Chemise, and Temperley) to the Frocktail Party on November 12th in support of Juvenile Diabetes Research. Major Canadian designers have also contributed, and Coco Rochas is parting her Sunny Fong (want!), and my colleague Tanya Kim who has the most badass wardrobe is gifting one of hers too… so if you’re looking for something to wear for your holiday parties, it’s a great way to do it while giving back at the same time.

Dear Gossips,

“Eff love”, she says. “Because love is so blind”.

This a brief a quote from Rihanna’s interview with Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America Thursday during which she addresses the beating she took at the hands of Chris Brown and her decision to leave him after initially going back to him. By far the most insightful however is her answer to the question: why the shame?

Rihanna tells Diane: "I fell in love with this person. That's embarrassing, that that's the type of person that I fell in love with. So far in love. So unconditional that I went back. It's humiliating to say this happened. To accept that? It's a traumatizing experience."

THAT TYPE OF PERSON.

Right. So now that person is granting interviews of his own. To MTV. He fares better here than on Larry King Live but that’s the difference, I suppose. Larry King Live is live. MTV can be heavily edited. Even sh-ttier though is the fact that Brown’s new album release date has been moved up by one week. Some say it’s because the record company is encouraged by advance buzz and the earlier drop is an attempt to capitalise on that momentum for holiday shopping. F-cking stupid, that’s what.

Thursday: PROGRAMMING NOTE

It’s time for my annual Sexiest Man Alive prediction list, a tradition on this site. As such, today’s will be a LONG column. Remember that older articles appear on the bottom. So if you’re hitting the site late, please SCROLL DOWN for the introduction first or CLICK HERE to read the entire list on its own.

New NON-SMA articles will be added as soon as the SMA posts are complete. Hope that makes sense.

Look forward to your thoughts, debates, and of course your “Swears”.

Yours in gossip,

Lainey

Today’s Dress Porn

Diane Kruger in New York at a Chanel event and Fete d’Hiver. Am crying. Tears of hungry want. So bad. Of course it’s Chanel. And therefore completely unaffordable. But it’s the perfect colour and the perfect cap sleeves and the perfect fit and f-ck her for wearing it and also loving Joshua Jackson because she does and they do and she slips in and out of Vancouver undetected every other weekend or so and she was here for Halloween and they walked around downtown undisturbed and totally wrapped in each other and this dress … when I daydream about me and James Franco, I will be wearing this dress.
