Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Lucy’s off-the-shoulder and bad shoes Lucy Liu’s spectacular showing at the Golden Globes in January is still in the running for my best of 2013 – click here for a refresher – so I’m pretty disappointed in this totally medium off-the-shoulder dress she wore yesterday, and VERY disappointed about these horrible shoes. The colour is By Lainey • May 16, 2013 12:04 pm
Friday Night Lights Michael B Jordan in Cannes After seeing Fruitvale Station (when did they add the “Station”?) at Sundance, THR’s Todd McCarthy called Michael B Jordan the next Denzel Washington. And as I wrote back in January... We KNOW! He was Vince Howard. And before that he was Wallace! We.KNOW. Or you would if you By Lainey • May 16, 2013 11:49 am

Hair Oh thank God it was a wig Zhang Ziyi showed up with short hair last night at the Palais in Cannes and I recoiled in horror. The hair. It looked like she’d chopped it, and I was all ready to write an article today, finally with photo accompaniment, about why it’s hard for Chinese girls By Lainey • May 16, 2013 10:40 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Marcus was there but was there a bump? Many of you have been asking whether or not Marcus Mumford was in Cannes with Carey Mulligan last night at The Great Gatsby opening. He was. If you can get past Leonardo DiCaprio, he’s sitting behind Carey in the theatre. I wonder if she made it through the entire By Lainey • May 16, 2013 10:17 am
Intro for May 16, 2013 Dear Gossips, Didn’t think Diddy/Daddy/Puffy’s Downton Abbey parody was good. Then again, Downton Abbey isn’t good. So in that sense, the marriage of Diddy to Downton was perfect. Totally makes sense. As for Scandal, a proper soap opera without an identity crisis that doesn’t By Lainey • May 16, 2013 09:58 am
BFFs Tom Cruise & JJ Abrams Tom Cruise was at the Star Trek Into Darkness premiere last night. He did not walk the carpet but showed up for the after-party. As you know, it’s not his style to attend the opening of just anything. The official reason is that he was there to support his By Lainey • May 15, 2013 04:44 pm

Bad Style Granny delivers in Cannes, but not Julianne As expected, Nicole Kidman killed it tonight in Cannes. Her best, best, BEST showing in years. This exquisite dress is Christian Dior from the Haute Couture S/S 2013 that I posted here in January. And I called it exquisite then too. Shocking that there wasn’t more of this By Lainey • May 15, 2013 02:58 pm
Girlcrushes Carey let her hair down But look how YOUNG she looks! So innocent!

Cheese Cannes opening white The opening night red carpet is now underway in Cannes. Here’s how it works at the Palais: The non-festival people usually arrive first.

Movie Reviews and Previews Black Widow, Falcon, and oh yeah, Captain America Chris Evans is not on my Five List. So while he may have the title of the movie, he doesn’t get the title of my post. Not when Scarlett Johansson and Anthony Mackie are around. Here they are shooting Captain America: The Winter Soldier in Washington, DC yesterday. Why By Lainey • May 15, 2013 01:09 pm
