Dear Gossips,

In television hierarchy these days, made-for-tv movies might even rank lower than reality television. Which means that some has-been or a never-been doing air kicks on Dancing With The Stars is arguably ranked higher now than Lindsay Lohan. Remember when you stressed at the injustice of having her cast at Elizabeth Taylor? Please. As I wrote at the time, a widely ridiculed Lifetime movie-of-the-week, in the company of Jennifer Love Hewitt and LeAnn Rimes, is exactly where she belongs. Actresses who make movies-of-the-week don’t get invited to make real movies. The point then is that there will be no Liz & Dick recap. We don’t recap made-for-tv movies.

There was no Pitt Porn last night because Angelina Jolie did not join Brad Pitt at the premiere of Killing Them Softly. In her absence though, he promised he would marry her SOON. More on this later but as you’d expect, that’s the major headline now. His movie opens on Friday (and they’re getting MARRIED). They’re getting MARRIED and his movie opens on FRIDAY.

Yours in gossip,

Lainey
