Dear Gossips,
Ryan Seacrest has a lot of jobs. He just added another job. It was announced yesterday that he’s to host a new reality game show on NBC called The Million Second Quiz. The Million Second Quiz will air every night on NBC starting in September (with a one night break for football) featuring contestants competing 24 hours a day (trivia battles) in a huge hourglass structure in Manhattan until an eventual winner is crowned.

Mimi’s sling steeze

Have you figured out who was 15 minutes late to The Butler press conference yet? That was basic level gossip, right? Here she is, our lovely, at the premiere last night in a leather studded sling because she clipped her wing. Did you forget that SHE IS INJURED? How could you forget? She’s only been ramming that arm up your ass for three weeks. Full Story
Heigl’s vaping
Bauer-Griffin
That’s what they call it – vaping, which means smoking from an electronic cigarette, which is what I’ve been doing for 7 months now and it works. I am off cigarettes. The problem is the word “vaping” is so dumb. Anyway, Katherine Heigl has been an e-cig smoker for years. Full Story
Lenny in The Butler and Minka & Chris’s staggered exit
WENN
They’re pushing The Butler as an award contender possibility, opening strategically at the same time of year as The Help and hoping for a solid box office to carry it through fall and the long season. My colleague Traci Melchor was just at the junket last weekend. She loved it. She said it was Lenny Kravitz’s performance, among all those BIG NAMES, that really stood out. Full Story

Tom Hiddleston was at the TCA yesterday to promote The Hollow Crown. It’s a series of Shakespeare adaptations – Richard II, Henry IV Pt 1, Henry IV Pt 2, Henry V – that aired last year on the BBC and will air in North America on PBS. I can’t wait to see it. They’re calling it a massive scale production – in relation to the budgets they normally have to work with. Full Story

Sienna & Tom out for dinner
WENN
Sienna Miller and Tom Sturridge went out for dinner last night in London. It used to be that Sienna would go out for dinner and DRAMA would ensue. One year she was here at TIFF, with Jude Law, and they went out for dinner, and it was a mess – screaming at photographers, storming off, laughing and smoking five minutes later… I know I keep saying it but man those were the days.

Armie Hammer’s snit-fit
WENN
I wonder which is more uncomfortable—promoting a movie that you know sucks, or promoting a movie after it tanks? Based on Armie Hammer’s recent interviews, he does not seem to be enjoying promoting The Lone Ranger in the wake of its disastrous performance this summer—and let’s take a moment to laugh that they’re still shilling for that movie—but is it any worse than having to promote Mirror Mirror? These are the questions I wish someone would ask. Full Story
