Gorgessity Kristen Stewart: no fragrance foreplay Dior Homme’s Robert Pattinson campaign release has been an exercise in masturbatory extension. If you build it up that much, with so many teasers to teasers and teasers for trailers, it better be amazing. Is it? The short film will be released on Sunday. At this point though, unless By Lainey • Aug 30, 2013 10:49 am
Amazingness Beyonce gets presidential Shaking hands and kissing babies...that’s how they do when they’re running for president, right? Beysus doesn’t want to be president though.

Baby and Bump Obsession Porny’s cheap sell Jessica Simpson presented her newborn son Ace Knute on the cover of the new US Weekly yesterday. Now Page Six is reporting that she was only paid $100,000 for it. Look, $100,000 is a lot of money for us. It is not a lot of money for someone By Lainey • Aug 29, 2013 11:30 am
Xenu Watching Katie’s back Here’s Katie Holmes on the set of Miss Meadows yesterday in Cleveland. I am totally jacking these braids for TIFF. As you can see, Katie seems relaxed and happy at work, not at all bothered by the presence of the paps who’ve followed her to Ohio. In fact, By Lainey • Aug 29, 2013 10:38 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Gravity is good, Sandy challenges Cate Gravity might be great. Rapturous early reviews are coming out of the Venice Film Festival where Sandra Bullock and George Clooney presented the film for the first time yesterday.

George Clooney Just fall in love already! If the Gossip Genie won’t help us out, I don’t know, maybe Jesus Oprah can. Or the benevolent Beyonce. Only those two are powerful enough to put them together – Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. Check them out, arriving at the gala premiere of Gravity tonight. And what a By Lainey • Aug 28, 2013 05:32 pm
Beyoncé Come on baby it’s you Duana, Lara, Sasha, and I went to Beyonce’s The Mrs Carter Show together. Maybe it’s because B was harnessed all the way to a stage right in front of our section but for us, it was the Irreplaceable/Survivor/Love On Top three song combination that had us By Lainey • Aug 28, 2013 04:15 pm
Emma Stone Emma & Andrew’s European summer Emma Stone’s been in France the last couple of months working on a Woody Allen movie. Since they haven’t been papped that much while they’ve been away, to us it seems like she and Andrew Garfield have had a quiet summer. Garfield turned 30 last week and By Lainey • Aug 28, 2013 04:04 pm
Baby and Bump Obsession H7 at the ballgame H7 was with her dad and her brothers at the Dodgers game last night. She dressed down for the occasion in skinny jeans and a white top.

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Cate’s webbed dress Trying to think of who else could pull off this dress. It’s not my favourite, but I appreciate it for its imagination. And that it’s being showcased on someone who CAN. Imagine if Christopher Kane had decided to let it wear on someone … I dunno… Oliva Wilde? Vanessa By Lainey • Aug 28, 2013 12:08 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Walking out on James McAvoy James McAvoy will be at TIFF with Jessica Chastain for a preview of The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Her/Him. The last time he was at TIFF we had a cigarette out the window. I think he’s quit now. Or maybe he’s switched to e-cigs like me. By Lainey • Aug 28, 2013 11:50 am

Robert Pattinson Robert Pattinson by Justin Timberlake I was eyerolling at Justin Timberlake a few weeks ago for releasing a trailer to a preview to the trailer to the video for Take Back The Night.
