Movie Reviews and Previews Is The Fan killing Objectivity? We saw it happen with Twilight: media editors strongly encouraging their reporters to positively report on anything Twilight so as to encourage traffic. I’ve heard that some reviewers were asked specifically not to sh-t on the Twilight movies in fear of fan mobilisation against their outlets. The same By Lainey • Jul 18, 2012 01:06 pm
Sports Pose hard in a trench But first... Look at H7! She’s walking on her chubby little legs! H7’s mother is promoting her collection in Dublin. Check her out, working hard in a trench coat. Never a candid moment for Victoria Beckham, right? Not even with a microphone in her face. I love the By Lainey • Jul 18, 2012 12:14 pm
Baby and Bump Obsession Sad Skinny Tom Here’s the new PEOPLE cover. As you can see, they picked a shot of his “sad eyes”. His world is “shattered”. It’s his “private pain”. That’s what we, the women, respond to isn’t it? Tom Cruise the victim? He is hurting. He needs a hug. That By Lainey • Jul 18, 2012 11:31 am
The Hunger Games Catching Fire casting and the search for Finnick Casting rumours are just like regular rumours. Everyone reads the first headline but no one ever reads the denial and subsequent dismissal. Take Melissa Leo for example. If you were to google Melissa Leo you’d find several pages of links reporting that she’s to be Mags in Catching By Lainey • Jul 18, 2012 10:34 am
BFFs Leo heads the table Always. Here’s Leonardo DiCaprio at lunch yesterday at Fred Segal with some friends and it’s just understood, you know? When he rolls with the boys, they take their seats in the middle, and he takes his at the head. If the head is not the best however, well, By Lainey • Jul 18, 2012 09:45 am
Intro for July 18, 2012 Dear Gossips, The Primetime Emmy nominations will be announced tomorrow morning. There’s no doubt Mad Men will be called. Several times. And it’s the favourite to eventually win Best Drama in September. In past years I haven’t disputed this. But this year...? Boardwalk Empire and Homeland, to By Lainey • Jul 18, 2012 09:14 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Aubrey Plaza’s black trim I can’t decide if the black trim on this dress flatters Aubrey Plaza or not. Specifically the shoulders. Also, she’s so young funny pretty. I don’t know that this is a young funny pretty girl look. By Lainey • Jul 18, 2012 08:54 am
Media Manipulation Pacing Anne Hathaway Have I mentioned how obsessed I am with Anne Hathaway’s hair? I have, I know. And it won’t stop. Here’s Anne, the Catwoman you all insist on hating, at the premiere of The Dark Knight Rises last night in New York. And that is a great dress By Lainey • Jul 17, 2012 04:16 pm
Bad Style Marion Cotillard: bohemian in a bad dress Hate SO MUCH what Marion Cotillard wore last night at the New York premiere of The Dark Knight Rises. Especially those shoes. Gross. How gross? This is an outfit for Emmy Rossum. You see? Gross. And especially disappointing because her new Vogue cover just came out and it’s glorious. By Lainey • Jul 17, 2012 03:14 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Rihanna’s pineapples I have 3 pairs of pineapple print socks that I bought a couple years ago at Topshop and they’re my favourite. Obviously I must have Rihanna’s print. Maybe not in that romper but the print, the pineapple print is what I’m after. Maybe a halter dress with By Lainey • Jul 17, 2012 03:00 pm
Dumbass Slum Love on National Television You want to make yourself feel good after your divorce and f-ck around with a 25 year old little dancer, fine. Me I would have picked someone slighter taller, more attractive, to serve that purpose but your eyes are clearly bugged so...fine, fine on that point too. But By Lainey • Jul 17, 2012 02:07 pm
Baby and Bump Obsession Suri sees her dad First shots of Tom Cruise in New York with daughter Suri, formerly Little Sci. He’s not seen her since Katie Holmes told him via her lawyer that she didn’t want to be married anymore. Supposedly, according to their divorce agreement, Tom is not to teach Suri the ways By Lainey • Jul 17, 2012 01:39 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews James runs to Jessica Here’s James McAvoy on the New York set of The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby yesterday. He runs, then he’s tired. I haven’t read the script but since it’s kind of sort of a romance let’s pretend for now that he’s rushing home to prevent By Lainey • Jul 17, 2012 12:37 pm
Baby and Bump Obsession Katie Holmes from Bountiful Bountiful is a small town in British Columbia, Canada. Of polygamists. I mean, it’s FAMOUS for the polygamy. Anyway, Duana made this brilliant observation yesterday about Katie Holmes’s hair: “I am seriously one to talk, but that long, never-tended hair on both of them feels kind of By Lainey • Jul 17, 2012 11:45 am
Dumbass They don’t know your fiancée Harvey Weinstein moved the release date for Lawless because he’s expecting Tom Hardy to be a major star after The Dark Knight Rises even though Hardy, presumably, spends the entire movie behind a mask. Fine. The thing about Tom Hardy is that he gets way more hype within the By Lainey • Jul 17, 2012 10:55 am
Intro for July 17, 2012 Dear Gossips, Have you seen the cover of Marie Claire South Africa? I’ve attached it below. That’s Kate Middleton’s head on a model’s body. And apparently the pages are more of the same - Catherine Cambridge “wearing” South African designers as part of a “fan art tribute” By Lainey • Jul 17, 2012 10:15 am
