Lifestyle London Fashion Week: Burberry Prorsum F/W 2014 Am I the only one underwhelmed by this collection? My normal reaction to Burberry is a raging hard-on. But these prints are doing nothing for me. And there’s no timelessness to the coats. A Burberry coat is, in theory, supposed to be a statement that lasts longer than By Lainey • Feb 17, 2014 10:53 am
Lupita Nyong’o Lupita’s BAFTA green Lupita Nyong’o did not win the BAFTA for Best Supporting Actress. The British decided to honour Jennifer Lawrence instead.

Brad Pitt Brange BAFTA It’s like how they time a horse race for a powerful thoroughbred. You have to restrain the beast through the early parts of the track, and then at the right moment, you let him go. Oscar voting is in its final stretch. And now the Brange is turning it By Lainey • Feb 17, 2014 09:40 am

After all, Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir are the alleged victims of the alleged collusion. And they sit By Lainey • Feb 17, 2014 08:56 am
Hook Ups Michelle & Cara’s Valentine’s Day Cara Delevingne was in London last night. Michelle Rodriguez was in LA. Apart for Valentine’s Day? Still together? Oh I hope so. But this thing caught on fire so fast, so intensely, so spectacularly, and some would say so stunt-ily, that I also wouldn’t be surprised if By Lainey • Feb 14, 2014 02:50 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Alex Pettyfer’s Endless Love Endless Love opens today. Alex Pettyfer’s been promoting it all week. The reviews …aren’t great.

Lifestyle NY Fashion Week: Oscar De La Renta F/W 2014 There are a couple of dresses here that I quite like beyond the usual strapless full skirt standard of his label.

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Blake’s houndstooth and oxfords I’m into everything about this look – the coat and oxford combination offset by the baby blue is dope. My only problem is the light pink bag. WHY is this bag? By Lainey • Feb 14, 2014 11:16 am

Lifestyle NY Fashion Week: Marc Jacobs F/W 2014 Really into the wide headbands on this runway. The wide headbands and the casual collars combine for a really…loungewear feel about the collection.

Sports Intro for February 14, 2014 Dear Gossips, Evgeni Plushenko has retired. And that sucks. Because the competition lacked a lot of hips yesterday. We all lose when there aren’t enough hips. But you know what I did love about the whole situation? It’s that his retirement basically dominated the event. He didn’t By Lainey • Feb 14, 2014 08:49 am
