Maple Leaf Leo & Bieber in Cannes Leonardo DiCaprio has no official reason to be in Cannes. Actually that’s not true. His official reason for being in Cannes is To Party. Always.

Makes a big difference. Like, I still feel her in my blood. And I think, I think I made her laugh. Twice. I also think, By Lainey • May 20, 2014 09:21 am
Maple Leaf Blake of Monaco As expected, Blake Lively accompanied husband to the Cannes premiere of The Captive on Friday night. When I saw her dress, what popped into my head was... Grace Of Monaco, the opening night film, starring Nicole Kidman. Blake was there too. She wore brown-ish wine-colour Gucci. Boring. But By Lainey • May 19, 2014 04:44 pm

Beyoncé Bonnie & Clyde: the new video Down to ride ‘til the very end It’s me and boyfriend It’s been a week since we saw Solange Knowles try to put a hole through Jay Z’s dick with stiletto in an elevator.

Gwyneth Paltrow Gwyneth & Chris: consciously uncoupled inseparable Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin were out for dinner on Saturday night. They went to the Chateau Marmont. Not exactly low profile.

Intro for May 19, 2014 Dear Gossips, Didn’t watch the Billboard Music Awards last night. I was at a screening instead.

Music Arcade Fire & Andrew Garfield: We Exist The video for Arcade Fire’s We Exist has now been released starring Andrew Garfield in what may be one of the finest performances of his career. To me, it’s what he’s saying to me as he’s dancing. Dancing by himself. Like totally …abandoned. Completely unselfconsciously. In By Lainey • May 16, 2014 03:34 pm
