Parent Pimps Prince Michael, correspondent The first son of the late Michael Jackson, Prince Michael, is now a correspondent for Entertainment Tonight. He’s 16 years old. His first interview will be with the cast of Oz: The Great And Powerful. For Entertainment Tonight, it’s an obvious stunt-hire. And, well, it’s gross, By Lainey • Feb 20, 2013 09:52 am
Intro for February 20, 2013 Dear Gossips, So... Russell Crowe will be performing at the Oscars. Just...sit with that for a minute. The Academy will salute the resurgence of the movie musical this year and members of the cast of Les Miserables will take the stage together to represent their film...including HBC!

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Ginnifer Goodwin’s terrible long red dress Would this dress look good on anyone? Would it look good on Cate Blanchett? Perhaps...not even great Cate Blanchett. Is it only because it’s Prada? Because I cannot see how this could be the best choice if only because it’s SO unflattering. By Lainey • Feb 20, 2013 08:59 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Julianne Moore in red and emeralds Emeralds, Julianne Moore, you’d think it would be automatic. And it’s not like this sucks, not at all. Just...maybe a little underwhelming? It’s that dull red dress. The colour is dull, the cut is dull. That necklace, by the way, was Elizabeth Taylors, given to her By Lainey • Feb 20, 2013 08:15 am
Xenu Lisa Marie breaks up with Xenu? DAME Magazine just tweeted at several entertainment outlets about a new article they’ve posted re: whether or not Lisa Marie Presley has broken up with the Church of Scientology. Speculation about Lisa Marie’s relationship to Xenu has been circulating for months. DAME is now publishing quotes that were By Lainey • Feb 19, 2013 06:04 pm
Cheese Why wasn’t this a Super Bowl commercial? Let’s talk about Leonardo DiCaprio’s commercial for Jim Beam, Asian styles. By North American standards, this is pure cheese, right? That’s why it’s only for Japan. So far, at least. Leo snaps his fingers and the ice earth explodes. And a sexy look to camera. Followed By Lainey • Feb 19, 2013 05:01 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews What happened to Tarzan? Consider this my personal submission for Alexander Skarsgard to Sarah’s Career Prospectus series -- previous installments here and here. This is Skarsgard in New York today. I know he’s #1 for many of you. Back in November, it was reported that Skarsgard was the first choice to play Tarzan By Lainey • Feb 19, 2013 04:19 pm
Baby and Bump Obsession H7 the fifth Beatle? Oh stop. It's not blasphemy. It's jokes. Because...look at her cute Seargent Pepper jacket! And her leather patch tights! And her boots. I need everything in adult size. It's H7 in Paris with the family, arriving by Eurostar, in town presumably as By Lainey • Feb 19, 2013 03:20 pm
Hook Ups Taylor’s not an English model In We Will Never Ever Ever Get Back Together, Taylor Swift sings about an ex-boyfriend who thought indie music was much better than hers and everyone thought it was Jake Gyllenhaal. Next time will it be a lyric about not being “It” like an English model? Not being “It” By Lainey • Feb 19, 2013 01:48 pm
Dumbass Downton reboot A few emails came in yesterday re: the Downton Abbey finale. Question: Is Downton Abbey more like... Gossip Girl or Days Of Our Lives and less like, say, Mad Men or Breaking Bad? Same quality, right? Only one has English accents and period piece clothing. Season 1 of Downton Abbey, By Lainey • Feb 19, 2013 01:30 pm
Lifestyle London Fashion Week: Roksanda Ilincic F/W 2013 My favourite look here is the dress with the bright green lapels. The second grey dress attached will probably be pretty popular among celebrities too. Jacek asked me recently why models have to be made up to look so miserable and why they’re not allowed to evoke life. The By Lainey • Feb 19, 2013 12:39 pm
Hook Ups Britney’s (shady?) new boyfriend Britney Spears went out on Valentine’s Day last week with this “mystery” dude and since then everyone’s been trying to figure out who he is. TMZ says he’s called David. He’s 27 from Atlanta. They were introduced through mutual friends. Mutual friends? Who are Britney’s By Lainey • Feb 19, 2013 12:13 pm
Style The Timberlakes & Tom Ford Justin Timberlake and his wife were in London last night for the Tom Ford presentation at fashion week. Click here to see the collection. Both Timberlakes were styled by Ford. And, where she’s concerned, it shows. She looks amazing when someone else, someone who actually KNOWS, is dressing her. By Lainey • Feb 19, 2013 11:53 am
Baby and Bump Obsession The Royal Bump...officially You've seen it already, presumably, after that Italian magazine published photos of the Cambridges on holiday in Mustique a few weeks ago. I was less interested in the bump than I was in how frizzy her hair looked in the tropics. Like really, really frizzy and thick -- its By Lainey • Feb 19, 2013 11:33 am
Oscars 2013 Jen & Justin’s Oscar date night The Academy has just announced that Jennifer Aniston will present at the Oscars. Pretty strong presenter list again this year: in addition to the Avengers and several nominees (including Ben Affleck, Jessica Chastain, and Jennifer Lawrence), Nicole Kidman, Halle Berry, Reese Witherspoon, and Sandra Bullock are also expected. So many By Lainey • Feb 19, 2013 10:16 am
Intro for February 19, 2013 Dear Gossips, More and more Oscar experts seem to be switching over to Emmanuelle Riva for Best Actress. And Ang Li for Life Of Pi seems to be gaining momentum too as we enter the final hours for Academy members to decide which ends today. Is it possible that Lincoln By Lainey • Feb 19, 2013 09:38 am
