Oscars 2014 Michael Fassbender: Oscar Invisible He didn't want to campaign. He wasn't into the whole drama. If he'd played though, I wonder if he couldn't have given Jared Leto a run. We'll never know though because Michael Fassbender decided not to participate. But he couldn& By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 10:18 am
Oscars 2014 Mrs Timberlake: Oscar one colour Mrs Timberlake wore Chanel Haute Couture, pretty much right off the runway. And since Chanel dresses so few people, it was certainly some kind of statement – she doesn’t have to wear Cavalli. Fine. But if I were Karl Lagerfeld, I’d reconsider for next time. Because she managed to By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 09:23 am
Bad Hair John Travolta: Worst Oscar Hair So he butchered Idina Menzel’s name. He f-cked that sh-t up so bad that within minutes there was a Twitter account for @AdeleDazim. I am still laughing about this. But it might be a little mean. Actually, laughing about people having trouble reading is totally mean. And By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 08:30 am
Oscars 2014 Jada Pinkett Smith: Worst Oscar pink There was some pink at the Oscars…and all of it was sh-t, but the worst of the sh-t was Jada Pinkett Smith. It’s Versace. I feel like we’ve seen it before. Or maybe it’s because it looks like what Sofia Vergara wears over and By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 08:00 am
Oscars 2014 Zac Efron & Kellan Lutz: Oscar lightweights One of my favourite things to say is that “the Academy doesn’t let riffraff onto its red carpet” which is why I didn’t believe for a minute that Rob Ford would actually be coming to the Oscars. And then Kellan Lutz showed up. Thing is, I’m not By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 07:41 am
Oscars 2014 Reese’s Oscar party cleave When’s the last time you remember seeing this much cleavage from Reese Witherspoon? Have you ever seen a side breast from Reese Witherspoon? If I were her, and after 3 children, I’d be showing side breast too. Have we found ourselves at the beginning of a Reese Witherspoon By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 06:47 am
Oscars 2014 Penelope Cruz: Oscars Most Disappointing At every event, there’s someone who wastes her potential. Almost everyone wasted their potential this year but I feel like Penelope Cruz wastes it more often than not. I mean, she’s capable of the spectacular. And what we get is too often pastels and feathers. Or a hybrid By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 06:22 am
Oscars 2014 Benedict Cumberbatch: Internet Famous at the Oscars One of our producers had a seat in the bleachers this year, taking pictures and Instagram video as part of our social media team. This is the text she sent me around noon: “I’m sitting with the MiniVan Majority.” When Benedict Cumberbatch arrived, no one in her section of By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 06:03 am
Oscars 2014 Jennifer Garner: Worst Oscar Shoes According to what the Academy’s volunteers were doing at rehearsal on Saturday, Jennifer Garner, an official presenter, was supposed to walk with Ben Affleck. There were two people with their names clearly marked pretending to be the Afflecks on the red carpet. Garner ended up coming alone, as you By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 05:26 am
Oscars 2014 Elsa Pataky: Best Oscar Pregnancy (Lainey) I’m surprised too. Because you know how I feel about Elie Saab: same, same, same, boring, same, same, same. But maybe this is where Elie Saab excels: maternity wear? It’s a good colour on her. And I’ve decided I can only tolerate a nude underlay if it’ By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 05:18 am
Oscars 2014 Lady Gaga: Oscars Most Unwelcome For someone who claims to exist purely for the fans, Lady Gaga wasn’t so much about the fans at the Oscars. The Academy sets up several sections of bleachers along the red carpet where fans can scream at their favourite stars. The call time for the fans is around By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 04:45 am
Oscars 2014 Oscar Replacement: Chris Evans for Andrew Garfield On Saturday before the Oscars, the Academy makes the red carpet available to entertainment crews rehearsing live shows for the next day. That would include ABC, the official US broadcaster, hosted by Tyson Beckford who, holy sh-t, looks great but doesn’t think all that great, and E! with By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 03:35 am
Oscars 2014 Oscar Cavalli: Kristen Bell & Kristin Chenoweth I don’t remember hearing Tom Ford’s name once on the Oscar carpet this year. He normally only dresses just one person at an event. Or, you know, Hayden Panettiere buys it off the rack. You have to be at a certain level for Tom Ford. At the level By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 03:04 am
Oscars 2014 The Oscars Overview Duana and I both have thoughts on this and on Ellen DeGeneres as host. Let’s start with Duana’s analysis first: Duana: The thing about Ellen Degeneres as host was that there was already a much higher standard than for someone like He Who Irritated Us Last Year. For By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 02:43 am
Steve McQueen Intro for March 3, 2014 Dear Gossips, How f-cking cute is Steve McQueen? The jumping up and down? It was indeed a director/film split between Gravity and 12 Years A Slave with Alfonso Cuaron taking Best Director and the right film being immortalised. Because, as I suggested in one of our production meetings By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 02:25 am
Lifestyle Paris Fashion Week: Maison Martin Margiela F/W 2014 I was expecting to see facemasks and a lot more weirdness. And instead, this is almost… boring. Right? Except for the slip dress. I’m all about that slip dress. By Lainey • Feb 28, 2014 06:35 pm
