Maple Leaf Intro for January 20, 2014 Dear Gossips, Flowers In The Attic did not deliver on Saturday night. But you know who did? Drakob! The people who follow Drake’s career in microscopic detail (Duana) weren’t surprised. The thing about Drake is that he never half-asses. He was great in his sketches and really By Lainey • Jan 20, 2014 08:00 am
Flowers In the Attic Live blog Dear Gossips, Flowers In The Attic reminds me of my mother. I know, isn’t that the most horrible thing anyone could say?

Movie Reviews and Previews George is not the best dressed Portrait session for The Monuments Men yesterday. George Clooney put a political message on under a leather jacket. But he’s been overshadowed. By Cate Blanchett? No. Not even Cate Blanchett. Bill Murray. Please enjoy his pink pants. It’s award season and George Clooney’s in a film – Gravity By Lainey • Jan 17, 2014 01:56 pm
Award Season Campaigning The Matthew McConaughey theme song Alright, alright, alright… It’s not really a song. But everyone seems to be singing it. And wanting to hear it. And we heard it last night when he won Best Drama Actor at Critics’ Choice, presented by Jessica Chastain, who threw out an “alright, alright, alright” when she opened By Lainey • Jan 17, 2014 01:01 pm
Baby and Bump Obsession Jay, Jake, Bey, and Blue Jay-Z and Jake Gyllenhaal met up for lunch yesterday. The paps are calling it a “meeting”. But these two have been friends for a while. It’s not the first time they’ve hung out. Unfortunately Beyonce and the B.I.C. were not with them. They had their By Lainey • Jan 17, 2014 12:06 pm
Girlcrushes I’m in love If I were a young actor, male or female, between 20 and 30, I’d be looking for a hookup with Adele Exarchopoulos. She won the Best Newcomer – or whatever they call it – Award at Critics’ Choice last night and from the moment she started walking, I was in love. By Lainey • Jan 17, 2014 11:28 am

Quiveration Sandy’s speech saves her dress…and Marlon Wayans? Hated Sandra Bullock’s dress last night at the Critics’ Choice Awards. The colour was fine. The ruffle-tiering, however, is 10 years old. Go into any Midnight Elegance, Apparel For Any Occasion shoppe at your local mall and you’ll find a dress like this. I don’t give By Lainey • Jan 17, 2014 10:38 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Jessica Chastain’s rare green dress It’s rare that green + redhead look bad. But it happened. And it shouldn’t ever happen to Jessica Chastain. But this Nina Ricci is so …awful. For starters, it’s not flattering. It makes her look 10 years older than she is. That ruffle is all kinds of cheap By Lainey • Jan 17, 2014 09:57 am
BFFs Julia Roberts wins Best Picture Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep were pretty tight last night at the Critics’ Choice Awards. They were on the carpet together, they sat together, they hugged several times, and for the most part, on those occasions, Julia held down The Julia, because even Julia knows that Julia < Meryl Streep.

BFFs Jonah’s Best Day Ever Jonah Hill, 2X Oscar nominee and friend of Marty, Leo, and Brange, was nominated for his 2nd Oscar yesterday.

Baby and Bump Obsession Cate’s date Cate Blanchett’s date last night was her son Roman who brought a deck of cards with him to the event – a kid I could totally roll with. At one point, Cate took him over to meet Sandra Bullock. Was a pretty cute moment. She seemed overjoyed when Sir Ben By Lainey • Jan 17, 2014 08:53 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for January 17, 2014 Dear Gossips, Lupita! So gracious, so charming, so popular – easily the most popular last night at the Critics’ Choice Awards as everyone wanted a moment with her…because Lupita Nyong’o is definitely having a moment right now.
