A Braverman Briefing
Written by Duana Welcome to 2011! Do you know one of the reasons I know you’re glad to be here? ‘Cause of the memory of your family and what happened over the holidays. What was your flavour? Passive-aggression? Boastful sibling? Crazy-but-somehow-truth-telling grandmother? We all know the deal. Full Story
New Year with chaperone
ExclusiveA couple of weeks ago I posted these photos of Katie Holmes in LA leaving the gym with her minder. A “friend”. You know how it goes. “Friends” must be approved. So is it a friend or is it, as noted then, a chaperone? Whatever. When she’s with The Chaperone she’s allowed to drive herself. Full Story
New Year fur & Twitter songs
Kanye West hooked up with Jay-Z yesterday in New York for a meeting at the Mercer Hotel. As you can see, he was animal all over with an orange handle handbag and a fur coat to keep warm. Needless to say, Kanye being Kanye, there’s little chance of this being fake. West and Jay are just coming off their New Year’s Eve in Vegas where they both took the stage at the Cosmopolitan opening with Coldplay. Full Story
Box office report card
Written by Sarah Back in November I wrote this, outlining box office predictions for some of the holiday releases and Lainey has asked me to grade myself on how my predictions went. Full Story
New Year Vanity Fair Bieber
Look, I never thought I’d be posting about Justin Bieber two days in a row either. But those photos of him with Selena Gomez – click here if you missed them – were the best thing that happened to me yesterday. And as I initially reported Full Story
New Year LA baby?
A lot of my friends are pregnant a lot. So I do know that you’re not supposed to travel once you’ve passed a certain month. Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem have been in California since Christmas. They went to a movie in Hollywood last night. And the baby is due this month. So … it’ll be an LA baby then? This is where I get into territory that is none of my goddamn business. Full Story
January 4, 2011 – Smutty Shout-Outs
Happy Birthday Kate O in Toronto with love from Nancy in Puerto Vallarta! And Happy 30th Birthday Jen in Puerto Vallarta from Nancy too who suggested a Smut Soiree south of the border. This sounds like a proper New Year’s resolution! Christine F & Taivo! Congratulations on the engagement! Marliese told me about Facebook and champers with McConaughey in his Airstream? What does it smell like in there??? As for your sex tape – hold out for the best, best, best possible price. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
Happy New Year! Especially for Lindsay Lohan who is out of rehab and so enlightened she’s now quoting Gandhi. Where? Oh of course on Twitter. It’s only too bad this new sober enlightenment isn’t something she shares with her sister who at 17 now is hungrier than ever for major fame and who speaks, at best, with a third grade education.

Smutty Tingles
NB. It’s still officially a stat holiday in Canada and the UK. So I’m going back to bed. Because there’s a hangover happening and it refuses to f-ck off. There are other reasons too. See below. Be back full time tomorrow.
Meg Ryan: does she bust up a marriage every ten years? (Dlisted)
Demi’s body. But don’t look if you gorged yourself over the holidays. This woman obviously hates food. (The Superficial)
This is why I’m going back to bed. Thoroughly depressing. (Popeater)
Totally forgot to put Chloe Sevigny on my Ass List (Hollywood Tuna)
Matthew McConaughey’s adorable family beach pics (Pop Sugar)
Save of the year: the Afflecks Are All Right (Just Jared)
Kellan Lutz demonstrates that he isn’t actually goodlooking. At all. So…umm… what’s left? (Cele|bitchy)
Fergie’s copper bikini and Josh Duhamel had daisies on his shorts (Socialite Life)
LeAnn Rimes has Courtney Love’s body (Drunken Stepfather site NSFW)
Snort of the day: Paula Abdul says she’s not a drunk (I'm Not Obsessed)
New Year, new douche
Was it the leather pants in France? Is this what finally convinced Jennifer Aniston to give Adrien Brody a chance? Please. You must remember this from Cannes 2010. Adrien Brody in a brown baggy suit, all animal, yacht hopping during the festival like he’s the one who’s been giving Jay-Z his cool points. Full Story
New Year Bento Box
They went from Africa to Missouri – click here for a refresher - for the holiday, and are now back in LA. Check out the Brange leaving Benihana Japanese last night with some of their kids. Not that this is germane in any way but… I don’t order Bento Boxes. Full Story
