Music Britney Jean’s first week I read an article yesterday on the LA Times website. The title: Why isn't Britney Spears' latest album a hit?

Bad Style The Mara sisters at Her premiere Kate Mara showed up at the Los Angeles premiere of Her last night to support her sister, Rooney. It’s a thing now with these two.

Baby and Bump Obsession Flowers for Julia How do you follow up Beyonce and Olivia Pope? Everyone else today has to measure up. God I hope Angelina Jolie makes an appearance. But Julia Roberts works too. Julia was on Letterman yesterday before attending the premiere of August: Osage County. Beyonce? Sorry. Right now Beyonce is everything.

Music One B How does she keep her sh-t so tight? 14 new songs, 17 new videos – an entire “visual” album… and not one f-cking leak. Nothing.

Beyoncé Intro for December 13, 2013 Dear Gossips, I mean...what else is there to talk about? We could, I suppose, talk about another satisfyingly crazy episode of Scandal.

Movie Reviews and Previews A new pink-lined Joaquin Joaquin Phoenix was on Jimmy Fallon last night. Before every Joaquin interview, I’m always braced for the fontrum. You know. But what a pleasure he was this time – he was loose, he was funny, he was quick, he was nice… And it was an INTERVIEW. So, technically, press. Perhaps By Lainey • Dec 12, 2013 03:46 pm

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Rooney’s ruffle shoulder You know what? She’s not a ruffle girl…because she’s so aloof, you know? And that might actually be why the ruffle works on her. Like, if the ruffle was on Reese Witherspoon I’d punch myself in the face. And yet, on Rooney, with those dark lips, By Lainey • Dec 12, 2013 01:27 pm
BFFs Taylor’s new friend Taylor Swift was in Melbourne last night. She went out for dinner with a new friend: Lorde, the 17 year old from New Zealand whose song you can’t escape on the radio.

Movie Reviews and Previews No Oprah, No Jonah But first… Yes Tatiana Maslany. YES. YES. YES. And Amy Poehler. YES. YES. YES. Every year, the Hollywood Foreign Press decides to anoint a show, and often earlier than the other award boards. This year, that show is Masters Of Sex, right?

Movie Reviews and Previews Emily Blunt helps Tom Cruise A trailer for Tom Cruise’s upcoming Edge Of Tomorrow was released yesterday. Hate the title, but I suppose they were worried about All You Need Is Kill, particularly the word “kill”. Even though there seems to be a lot of killing going on. You know what though?
