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.
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
I’m sorry. How could I have forgotten my RDJ? Your RDJ. Our RDJ. He’s been very, very quiet lately. Arguments for: He’s the coolest cat ever He is FUNNY. He is style. He is charm. He is the best. A sexy motherf-cker if there ever was one Everyone loves a comeback. His has been a spectacular comeback. Full Story

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.

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
