Shannon Elizabeth Gossip
On pure over the top glamour and pomp, there is no film festival like Cannes. But on star power and prestige, the Toronto International Film Festival – TIFF – is second to none. My hometown pulls out all the stops. Full Story
Her music, her voice… absolutely 100%. Oh baby baby, We Belong Together. But just because Mariah sells records, does it mean Mariah will sell fragrance? Do I want to sound like Mariah? Of course. Do I want to smell like Mariah Carey? Not that I think she smells bad but… no??? And still, if Britney could make millions hawking cologne, I suppose Mariah can too. Full Story
Angelina Jolie surprised everyone after Cannes in A Mighty Heart, kicking off Oscar speculation very early in the season with an unexpected bid and the Pitt publicity machine behind her full force, putting her up against Cate Blanchett’s second turn as Elizabeth in the Golden Age, long considered to one the one to beat. Full Story
We shot a segment the other day at the 2007 Cannes Gifting Lounge at the Carlton. Among items offered to celebrities: luxury trips to Tahiti, the Caribbean, and Kenya and the opportunity to adopt an elephant. Forty elephants were adopted by the company sponsoring, baby elephants were then gifted to the likes of Pamela Anderson and Minnie Driver – in name only. Full Story
Just a taste of what it’s like: Dylan and I were at the satellite truck the other day feeding our footage back to Toronto. Some fashion photographer comes by with this girl – of course she’s a model - he’s taking high quality magazine shots of her at the festival at the most random places. Full Story
She comes every year … why? Kept asking myself that all day and then I remembered she had some involvement in a charity event and now I feel badly. But, um, for someone who hasn’t made a movie in a very long time and, well, really hasn’t done much, you can’t help the question…non? Anyway, never was impressed, having now seen her in person, still not impressed. Full Story
Lindsay Lohan at the Us Weekly Hot Hollywood event last night – pinned pupils as usual, dirty face as usual, and prom hair rounding out the ass. Also looks like she’s dropping weight again, and at this rate, at only 20, bitch will have more stretch marks than Elizabeth Taylor. Lilo washed up at 25…can’t hardly wait. Full Story
Helen Mirren is The Queen. An Oscar-winning performance that swept awards season and provides some insight into what Queen Elizabeth II is really like. Did you know she can drive? And does drive? And stomps around in wellies? The Queen DVD comes out on April 24th, I have five copies to give away. If you’re interested, send an email to Lainey@laineygossip. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
John Travolta won’t stop. John Travolta won’t stop talking about his potent reproductive powers. At 53, he keeps repeating that he and wife Kelly intend to have another child because theirs is not a beard gay sham, oh no. Theirs is legitimate love. And he is a raving flaming straight man.
Also a straight man who says he used to fantasise about doing naughty things to Elizabeth Taylor:
“I told her I had a recurring dream, which was true. I said: You know that white dress you wore in Cat On A Hot Tin Roof? Well, you weren’t wearing it in that dream.’”
Why… because HE was wearing it???
So then she tartly replied: “Well, I’m not wearing anything under this right now.”
And the 21 year old Travolta did nothing. Because that’s what any strapping horny non-homo would do when a legend propositions him.
But can you believe there are people who believe this shit???
Tuesday – blogging all day, check back often.
Yours in gossip,
Lainey

Skip to the next if you don’t care for my thank you’s but there’s a giveaway involved at the bottom that you might not want to miss.
Like an idiot I forgot to take my camera to the carpet on Sunday so screen caps will have to do. Luckily the Cargo girls who did our makeup took a few shots from Friday when we taped the show from the red carpet. Full Story
As in her hair.
Long straight locks – total gorgessity, non?
Here’s Pen at the Critics’ Choice Awards on Friday looking healthy and beautiful and 100% ready for a longshot awards season run.
At this point, NO ONE is taking down Helen Mirren but it really would be that much more interesting if Winslet and Cruz could gain some momentum. Full Story
Speaking of Scarlett and Josh – The Black Dahlia co-starring Hilary Swank and Aaron Eckhart comes out on DVD next Tuesday, December 26 and I have 3 copies to give away. Scarjo’s tits apparently feature prominently, though not bare, I hear they do a great job of asserting themselves into every scene. Full Story
F&ck…please…no.
Perez is reporting that In Touch is reporting that the two were making out at the Chateau Marmont the other night, and now the astute members of The Fashion Spot... Full Story
She's not wearing white with her tits pouring out and yet, and yet. Elizabeth Hurley still manages to look exactly the same...which isn't so cute these days, is it?
Must be the hair. Is it the hair? Is it the bump at the end of her nose? Wouldn't trade my China Hawk Nose for this nose, like, ever. Full Story
I apologise. I realise this means nothing if you haven’t read The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory. But if you haven’t read it, you really should. Because even though it is a stellar cast, you never know what Hollywood’s bound to do to a book adaptation, no matter how tried and true the subject matter. Full Story
My China people have a saying, rougly translated: Husband/Wife Common Face, which means that when two people are right for each other, their respective facial fortunes reveal many similarities, and we'll just ignore the fact that this probably originated back in the day when sister and brothers and cousins kept marrying each other. Full Story
If for some reason the Goddess decided my time was up tomorrow, I would desperately, desperately want to come back as Maddox Jolie-Pitt. That kid has, like, the best life ever. Here are 5 reasons why I worship at the altar of Maddox J0lie-Pitt:
- Madd never has to walk. When he's not on a plane, he's in a car, when he's not in a car, he's being carried, when he's not being carried, he's riding a bike, when he's not riding a bike, he's driving an ATV. Full Story
Never mind that unsightly bump on the end of her nose. Never mind that she's the most overrated 'actress', like, ever. Never mind that she's probably done even less than Paris Hilton to become a celebrity. Never mind all that.
What bothers me most about Liz Hurley is that she looks the same over and over and over again. Full Story
Cannes is an absolute madhouse. First of all, the Croisette is packed all the time. And unless you've been given official media accreditation, you just never know where on the beach the photo calls will take place. So everyone just ends up running from one end to another trying to get snaps of the stars and even if you do manage to catch them at a good time, like when I stumbled across Charlie Sheen et al for the Platoon revival, the pappies and the crazed megafans end up bumping you out of the way anyway. Full Story
I don’t care how much it cost or who the hell made it. It looks tacky and low classy, full-on beauty pageant with a touch of recycled Versace thrown in and for the love of Anna Wintour - it's peach! PEACH! Totally unforgiveable, totally overplayed, and I have to laugh at the way she never wears her hair up because of that hideous witch bump on the end of her nose and how many years now has she had the same 'do and remind me again how she managed to land a cosmetics deal and be considered some kind of international beauty because when I see her all I think is - mousy, mousy, mousy and seriously, why is Liz Hurley even relevant??? Next. Full Story
