Dear Gossips,

I asked my ma last night at dinner what she was doing today. She said if her throat feels better she’s getting on the bus to go to the casino. Now THAT is romance.

Thank you so much for your comments yesterday re the Grammy and BAFTA articles. It was a full column and we posted late into the day. Please scroll down, click “view older” to get all caught up on both award events and the gossip in between, including the Beckhams, the Blue Ivy Carter’s first photos, Robin Wright’s hot new boyfriend, and more.

Also, several new collections from NY Fashion Week have been updated to LifeStyle and I’ll continue with it through the day.

As you may have heard, it was announced yesterday that Kate Upton is the new cover model of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue - see attached. Upton is the classic old fashioned sexy girl: she’s so wholesome you want to devour her. And she has really, really wonderful breasts. That, I suppose, is the point. There’s a lot of Anna Nicole Smith in her, non?

Anyway... is it just me or is that bikini too small? Not being facetious, I’m actually curious - is this how it’s done now? Are we supposed to be wearing them in a smaller size?
 
Happy Valentine’s Day! To celebrate the occasion, I’m attaching one of my favourite videos.  

Yours in gossip,

Lainey
