Chinese Squawking Chicken Intro for February 11, 2015 Dear Gossips, You know who was at the Grammys with hardly a mention? Courteney Cox. Maybe you didn’t recognise her. I wish she had chosen a better pair of shoes. Anyway, that’s my not very subtle segue to Dragons. Courteney Cox was born in the Year of the By Lainey • Feb 11, 2015 09:12 am
Hook Ups Taylor Swift: Hozier & Style There’s a new male artist that everyone’s talking about. Surprise. He’s now been linked to Taylor Swift. Taylor and Hozier were both at Sam Smith’s Grammys after-party on Sunday night. According to E! News, they were hanging out a lot. And flirty. And laughing. And By Lainey • Feb 10, 2015 04:01 pm
Photo Assumption Charlize & Sean: the parents at the park Charlize Theron and Sean Penn, rumoured to be engaged, were at the park with son Jackson on the weekend. They look really, really happy. And you know how these two feel about cameras. Like, they actively try to NOT look happy around cameras. So if they look happy it could By Lainey • Feb 10, 2015 01:47 pm
TV Updates The True Detective denim ad Rachel McAdams, Colin Farrell, and Taylor Kitsch were photographed in LA shooting True Detective season 2 yesterday. It seems like they were shooting some kind of armed standoff. As you know, all three of them play police officers. I like Rachel in cop mode. My Photo Assumption is that all By Lainey • Feb 10, 2015 12:54 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews “You are now about to witness…” There was a distraction from the Grammys on Sunday. It distracted me for almost half an hour. Twitter too, it seems, because it was trending for a while… A red band trailer for Straight Outta Compton was released. Have you seen it yet? It opens with Dre and Ice Cube By Lainey • Feb 10, 2015 11:55 am
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
