Media Manipulation Angelina Jolie Pitt, official I posted new shots of Angelina Jolie yesterday with Vivs and Knox – click here for a refresher. She was heading to London. And today, this press release came out from the London School of Economics. Angelina and William Hague were there to launch the Centre on Women, Peace, and Security, By Lainey • Feb 10, 2015 11:24 am
Shame Jamie Dornan’s apologies Jamie Dornan was in New York this weekend for a final promotional push before the release of Fifty Shades Of Grey this Friday. The studio has already greenlit the two sequels; they’re likely confident with their numbers predictions. I wonder though if they might want to talk to Dornan By Lainey • Feb 10, 2015 11:05 am
Style Robert Pattinson’s Life pants Robert Pattinson was at the Berlin Film Festival yesterday promoting Life with Dane DeHaan. Am attaching shots from the premiere too but mostly want to focus on the pictures from the photo call because of Pattinson’s pants. He’s never worn pants better than he’s wearing them here, By Lainey • Feb 10, 2015 10:20 am
Intro for February 10, 2015 Dear Gossips, Time to talk about the Tiger. My ma, the Chinese Squawking Chicken, was born in the Year of the Tiger. As you know, the Year of the Goat/Sheep is underway. The Goat/Sheep comes before the Monkey. And the Monkey is the Tiger’s antagonist. So while By Lainey • Feb 10, 2015 09:44 am
Baby and Bump Obsession The Jolie, the twins, and Captain Marvel? Let’s start with Captain Marvel. There’s a rumour floating around that Marvel is considering asking Angelina Jolie to direct Captain Marvel. Supposedly they’re impressed with her work on Unbroken and they want a female director bossing the female superhero movie. Which is exciting…but… The source. Is By Lainey • Feb 09, 2015 04:08 pm
Media Manipulation The Carters & the Grammys Beyonce posted some new shots of her and JayZ from after the Grammys on her website and Insta today. I’m also attaching shots of the Carters on Saturday at the Roc Nation/Three Six Zero pre-Grammy brunch in Beverly Hills. Rihanna was there. Kanye West too. Kylie Minogue.

Bad Style Gwyneth & Chris at the Grammys It seems like these two are never not together. Gwyneth Paltrow presented. Chris Martin performed. And you can see him I think in the background of one of these shots of her. G, obviously, was there for her “beautiful friend” Beyonce. That’s no accident either. While there were complaints By Lainey • Feb 09, 2015 12:37 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Gwen Stefani: the almost best That black jumpsuit on the carpet? Nothing is touching that. Obsessed. The red dress for the performance? You know, where she and Adam Levine had no chemistry, like Fifty Shades Of Grey? With that stupid nasty sh-t at the hip? PISS. It was piss. By Lainey • Feb 09, 2015 12:12 pm
Media Manipulation We have two races Boyhood won the BAFTA last night. But on Saturday, the Directors Guild picked Birdman. The DGAs are considered a very, very, VERY good predictor of Oscar Best Picture; only 7 times in history have the DGA and the Academy picked differently. Even still, Boyhood has its share of support. So By Lainey • Feb 09, 2015 11:44 am
Style Kristen Wiig’s best performance I thought by now that I would be tired of it. Tired of Sia’s substitutes. But it actually keeps getting better. And now I wonder how it could possibly be better than Kristen Wiig’s performance last night. It’s her best acting of all time, like, ever. She By Lainey • Feb 09, 2015 11:18 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Julianne’s red BAFTA collar Like Reese Witherspoon’s, this is a breast dress too. Unlike Reese Witherspoon’s, there’s an actual design element. It doesn’t look like she borrowed it out of the closet of a real housewife of Beverly Hills. But then again, that’s why Tom Ford chooses carefully. By Lainey • Feb 09, 2015 11:04 am
Grammy Awards 2015 Rihanna’s meme dress You know it was going to happen. That it wouldn’t be long before Twitter turned Rihanna’s Giambattista Valli Grammys dress into a meme. The meme: Rihanna Quince. Go look it up on Twitter. Here’s a taste: rihanna wore this dress because she had to run to her By Lainey • Feb 09, 2015 10:47 am
Relationship Assumption Beyonce married herself at the Grammys Did you see the Carters kiss when Beyonce won her Grammy? Duana texted me about 15 seconds later: “I just rewound that kiss three times. Did not buy. Am Conspiracy Theorist?” My reply: “Well they’ve never been known for their sexual chemistry.” Duana: “Isn’t that the whole point By Lainey • Feb 09, 2015 10:19 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Reese is dressing like Sofia Hate the colour. Hate the cut. Hate the fact that she’s pretty much taking style inspiration from Sofia Vergara now. There is NOTHING interesting here. There’s no imagination, there’s no originality, there are only breasts. Purple breasts. By Lainey • Feb 09, 2015 10:03 am
Sit DOWN Sit DOWN, Nicole Kidman Nicole Kidman’s Thierry Mugler last night was one of the carpet’s best. But f-ck her, we’re not giving her the satisfaction. Because did you watch her interview with Ryan Seacrest? He asks her the question. He asks her about the dress. She pauses. And then, “I don’ By Lainey • Feb 09, 2015 09:47 am
Gorgessity The McDuffs: Best BAFTA Couple Eddie Redmayne and Hannah Bagshaw. Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Turner. Even Keira Knightley and James Righton. All fine and worthy candidates, sure. But for me, the title of Best BAFTA Couple belongs to the McDuffs, Anne-Marie Duff and James McAvoy, arguably the most acclaimed (though underrated) couple in the business.
