Dear Gossips,
It’s raining in Cannes today. It was supposed to rain yesterday. But not on Angelina’s red carpet. Of course not. The Chosen Sequels certainly saw to that. As such, the rains came today. It is morning, hopefully the clouds will burn off by midday.
As promised in today’s postings: Pitt Porn, Gael Garcia Bernal, and Romo’s downgrade. Interviews lined up with Jack Black and Lucy Liu for Kung Fu Panda and Dustin Hoffman too. Am nervous for that one. He doesn’t seem like the type to have any patience for dumbassness. This might be a problem.
Friday – am blogging between shoots. And also tomorrow and the day after. Have a great weekend!
Yours in gossip,
Lainey
Mad packed sched today but will fill you in when I get back on Sean Penn's late night adventures and more.
Also - what's going down with Jess and Romo. For now... Enjoy the smutty partners:
One Night in KFC (Dlisted)
Whose boobs are better? Audrina or Heidi? (Hollywood Tuna)
Sapphic I Do's (INO)
Ebola infecting Selfridges (Holy Moly UK)
Sit DOWN you ungrateful b*tch! (Cele|bitchy)
She says she is free and fabulous, embarking on a new chapter in her life, and recently went in for a little touch-me-up in the chest area. Some changes leave things super saggy and the sagging never stops. Which is why she opens up the scar between her tits once a year – a scar that is visible in person but oddly enough, never in photographs. Full Story
It wasn’t quite as f*cked up as it was in Toronto during TIFF but the scene last night as the Pitts were leaving the palais was pretty intense. Many people were waiting for them to come out: paps, civilians, randoms… and they surged forward as the couple approached the car. Full Story
There was a new element to Pitt Porn last night on the Kung Fu Panda Carpet. Something different. Something softer. Something equally as quivering but more sweet than sexy. They put on a show per usual but this time, instead of evoking images of full on headboard banging, leather straps and gymnastics in the bedroom, what emerged instead was an intoxicating illustration of a couple totally in tune and deeply in love. Full Story
Happy Birthday Katie! Heard you’re a bit down without your wheels. It’s probably not a bad thing! What I would give for a shut-in weekend with a good book, a bottle of wine, and just the dog. Feel better and let me know when you’re back on the road! To Carolyn – Happy Birthday! Am so honoured you take my smut with you even into the depths of the Ugandan jungle picking up poop from chimps.

Dear Gossips,
The most random night ever.
After the opening gala and the ensuing celebration for Blindness last night, we headed to Nikki Beach. Nikki Beach is a travelling Eurocheese club staple. Super rich dudes who deal in oil and other mystery industries and their Eastern European mail order brides with fake tans, too much gold, tits that are paid for, and an aversion to food. By the end of the night, these f&ckers are spraying each other with champagne. Amazing.
Macy Gray performed, Eva Longoria and Eva Mendes whatever…but the best – the best, best, best in randomness – is that Star Jones showed up. Star f&cking Jones.
WTF?
Even better? She walked in and instead of sniping about the size of her head, Laura and I looked at each other thinking the same thing:
OMFG. She’s thinner than we are.
Laura is tiny. But Star Jones is even smaller. Laura wanted to kill herself. Then she started re-evaluating her life. It was time to go home. Five metres from our flat, Dylan struck up a conversation with a cute Irish boy from Cork who invited us to onto his yacht that was moored at the pier just across the street. He lured Dylan with champagne and beer. An hour later Dylan had found the wingman to his Iceman.
This is Cannes.
And everyone in Cannes can talk of nothing but Angelina’s double deities. The Kung Fu Panda gala is tonight and that carpet will be a sh*tshow. Our first opportunity for Pitt Porn! There’s a rumour circulating around here that she and Brad will be bringing their two boys though Cannes is often about hype over substance. But I don’t post tomorrow, it means I was trampled by Brangelunatics. Right now, the South of France is Mecca to them.
I’m screening Kung Fu Panda this morning. Will keep you posted.
Interviews for Blindness today including Gael Garcia Bernal. Also Kung Fu Panda presser and the big splash tonight.
Thursday – am blogging all day between shoots, screenings, and interviews. Can’t wrap head around time difference. Check back often!
Yours in gossip,
Lainey
Put your bony little ass in the car seat and sit the f&ck down! Check out Eva Longoria – who? Eva Longoria – who? Yes… Eva fecking Longoria tonight on the carpet at the Kung Fu Panda premiere trying desperately to divert attention away from the Pitt Porn. Really? Her? Maybe a Hot Harry on a Horse sex tape. Full Story
The girls were in Berlin today promoting Sex & the City. SJP’s dress… holy f&ck. Is it my drunken haze or is that the killer-est dress you’ve ever seen? Her dress is all kinds of sublime. All kinds! In typical Sarah Jessica fashion however she sucked the style out of everyone else. Full Story
Fireworks on the Croisette tonight – real ones and Pitty Porn styles too. It’s one of my favourites about Cannes: the firework display at 10:30pm followed by a rousing chorus of horns from all the surround ships in the harbour. Gives me goosebumps every time. Just like Pitt Porn gives me quivers. Full Story
As I’m sure you’ve heard, Dustin Hoffman “blurted” today that Angelina’s official due date is August 19th…which is only 11 days off from what I’ve been calling for months now: that the Pitts will birth their Chosen Sequels on the luckiest day of the century according to Chinese culture – August 8, 2008 Apparently there’s this thing called a VBAC. Full Story
Does she put makeup on her breasts? (Hollywood Tuna )
Not just Angie – don’t forget about Gwen! (INO )
DDL can sing? (DListed )
The Madge Academy (Holy Moly)
Jessica Simpson’s drunken pity party (Cele|bitchy )
Mimi makes Hello Kitty jealous (Candy Kirby )
Granny Freeze Grows a little! (Splash)
A live Angelina Jolie experience is like no other. Not only because she herself is such a force but also because of what happens to the people who happen to be moved by her force. We sat there in the Kung Fu Panda presser laughing our asses off at grown men launching themselves into peril for a glimpse of the Jolie. Full Story
You have to applaud her effort, non? She is waging a war she can’t win but still she won’t give up. As you know, Angelina Jolie confirmed yesterday that she is indeed expecting two royal arrivals. Needless to say, as is the case with any headline related to the Pitts, it was the biggest news in gossip leaving every other story, including Jennifer Aniston’s romance with John Mayer, in the dust. Full Story
I’m at the Martinez right now writing this, 6 or 7 feet away from Julianne Moore who is sitting down for roundtable interviews for Blindness. Have to restrain myself from running over to hug her. She’s been at it for 3 hours, surrounded by a large number of journalists questioning and pushing and she has been gracious and sweet and endearing and forthcoming the whole time. Full Story
There was a time when Mischa Barton was considered a style girl. She and Nicole Richie had a funky friends together kinda thing going on that used to be pretty cute. Then again, I’m a Mischa apologist. I liked the weird moccasins, she did have a certain “it”. But lately? Longer than lately? Mischa has lost her mojo. Full Story
Cate Blanchett attended the opening gala at Cannes for Blindness last night. This is not a forgiving colour. Not a colour for a woman four weeks after giving birth who might have some insecurities. Clearly, Cate Blanchett is not that woman. Of course she isn’t. Cate is here for Indiana Jones. Full Story
Natalie Portman last night at the gala. You think she’s beautiful in pictures? Well in person it’s even more. It’s not just the face – the dress of course was perfection – but it’s Natalie as a package. The way she moves, the way she walks, the way she holds herself… She is little, delicate, so graceful, an effortless mix of vulnerable but strong, and confident – confidence that comes from growth and experience rather than privilege … unlike my Gwyneth, for example. Full Story
I interviewed Sean Penn at TIFF last year on the Into the Wild red carpet. I remember coming out of that experience enlightened re: his sex appeal. There is something about Sean Penn. Full Story
Take a look at this cartoon. Do you want to be this cartoon??? Yes, we all want to stay young forever. And I will do what it takes to look 30 forever. But I'm also lazy AND chicken. So hell, I'll scrub my face with blue algae that stinks of dog plaque if it means no needles and no doctors. Fortunately for the squeamish though, there are advancements in beauty products that are making it possible. Full Story
