Music JT made better by the Carters ‘N SYNC’s drop hatch – Beyonce did it first. Beyonce on Beyonce for Beyonce by Beyonce – Beyonce did it first. Jay Z’s Holy Grail, in collaboration with Justin Timberlake, is on radio repeat right now.

Baby and Bump Obsession Robin Thicke’s ass grab This is a photo taken at a VMAs after-party of Robin Thicke posing with some random with his finger trying to go up her ass – check out the mirror in the background.

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Carey’s white collar and sunglasses We are currently figuring out wardrobe for TIFF. My motto: if anyone describes what I’m wearing as “sexy”, I immediately take it off. Because it usually means it’s too tight. I feel like Carey Mulligan would do the same. By Lainey • Aug 30, 2013 12:23 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Festival hopping with Mia & Jesse Mia Wasikowska walked the carpet in black last night at the Venice Film Festival for Tracks. The reviews have been solid and, once again, Wasikowska has delivered a fine performance, re-confirming her status as one of the most talented young actresses of her generation. Tracks will also screen at By Lainey • Aug 30, 2013 12:03 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Emily’s purple travel pants YES! A cuffed hem! A good slouch. Have you ever seen anything so comfortable and cute at the same time, especially with those suede oxfords? By Lainey • Aug 30, 2013 11:37 am
Dumbass Armie’s underwhelming summer Armie Hammer was supposed to be a big time movie star by now. Only The Lone Ranger didn’t deliver. But, you know, that was the critics’ fault. Blame them. If the critics didn’t take a dump on the movie, would Armie Hammer have had a shot at Batman? By Lainey • Aug 30, 2013 11:23 am
Baby and Bump Obsession The Cambridges at the marathon Their first official appearance together since taking Little G home from hospital to kick off a marathon in Wales. Apparently it was a last minute decision for the Princess depending on how Little G was behaving. But she wanted to properly thank the community for the support so Baby G By Lainey • Aug 30, 2013 11:12 am
Gorgessity Kristen Stewart: no fragrance foreplay Dior Homme’s Robert Pattinson campaign release has been an exercise in masturbatory extension. If you build it up that much, with so many teasers to teasers and teasers for trailers, it better be amazing. Is it? The short film will be released on Sunday. At this point though, unless By Lainey • Aug 30, 2013 10:49 am
Amazingness Beyonce gets presidential Shaking hands and kissing babies...that’s how they do when they’re running for president, right? Beysus doesn’t want to be president though. Beysus, like Oprah, would rather be God. She was shooting a video yesterday at Coney Island. Look at it. That must have been the worst By Lainey • Aug 30, 2013 10:18 am
Intro for August 30, 2013 Dear Gossips, Love and thanks to Duana, our Guest Editor yesterday, for running the business. And to all of you for your support. Yesterday’s press day was a one-off. There won’t be too many more of those days going forward. The reason I was on a media By Lainey • Aug 30, 2013 09:41 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Porny’s cheap sell Jessica Simpson presented her newborn son Ace Knute on the cover of the new US Weekly yesterday. Now Page Six is reporting that she was only paid $100,000 for it. Look, $100,000 is a lot of money for us. It is not a lot of money for someone By Lainey • Aug 29, 2013 11:30 am
Xenu Watching Katie’s back Here’s Katie Holmes on the set of Miss Meadows yesterday in Cleveland. I am totally jacking these braids for TIFF. As you can see, Katie seems relaxed and happy at work, not at all bothered by the presence of the paps who’ve followed her to Ohio. In fact, By Lainey • Aug 29, 2013 10:38 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Gravity is good, Sandy challenges Cate Gravity might be great. Rapturous early reviews are coming out of the Venice Film Festival where Sandra Bullock and George Clooney presented the film for the first time yesterday. The film is being called a visual masterpiece, in particular its 13 minute opening – a single shot. This, then, is not By Lainey • Aug 29, 2013 10:10 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for August 29, 2013 Dear Gossips, A change in format today.

George Clooney Just fall in love already! If the Gossip Genie won’t help us out, I don’t know, maybe Jesus Oprah can. Or the benevolent Beyonce. Only those two are powerful enough to put them together – Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. Check them out, arriving at the gala premiere of Gravity tonight. And what a By Lainey • Aug 28, 2013 05:32 pm
