Gorgessity Lupita in orange Lupita Nyong’o won Best Supporting Actress at the NAACP Image Awards this weekend. And she could very well be holding on to a Best Supporting Actress Oscar 6 days from now at the Dolby Theatre. I think I might lose my sh-t when she arrives on the carpet.

Relationship Assumption Leo’s looking for a girl like you Leonardo DiCaprio was photographed earlier this week with Toni Garrn in the French Alps. I don’t know how happy he is about getting papped, especially right now, when the impression he’s trying to leave with Academy voters is that he’s always been The One – the one who By Lainey • Feb 21, 2014 01:07 pm
Lupita Nyong’o Lupita knows about the rumours Lupita Nyong’o, the brightest star of award season, was on Ellen. Ellen asked about those Jared Leto rumours. You see how quick she was with her response? It’s really too bad the audience didn’t react accordingly. The audience, it would seem, is behind Lupita on gossip.

Royals Serenity’s affection Check out the cover of German magazine Bunte. I don’t think we’ve ever seen pictures of her looking so happy. And affectionate. These were apparently taken in the Caribbean. Not sure who these dudes are. Maybe relatives? I’m considering that as a possibility because they’re old By Lainey • Feb 21, 2014 09:30 am
Intro for February 21, 2014 Dear Gossips, Don't understand figure skating judging. Does anyone? But the way some people talk about them, the secrecy, the secret balloting, the behind the scenes deals and power plays, their condoned anonymity - if I'm relating it back to celebrity, doesn't that sound familiar?

Faux Gossip Ryan at Eva's The first problem is that the story came from INTOUCH or LIFE&STYLE. They suck. The second problem is that it's based only on the fact that they've not been photographed together. But does that really mean it's over? I already wrote about By Lainey • Feb 20, 2014 01:45 pm
