Lifestyle NY Fashion Week: Tadashi Shoji F/W2013 For some reason all I see when I look at these clothes is Jessica Alba wearing them. There’s a velvet dress with a turtleneck and strong sleeves that I like here but otherwise, it’s not too inspiring. By Lainey • Feb 08, 2013 12:07 pm
Girly Throw Downs How will Beyonce take over the Grammys? Will she? B’s been criticised this week for stealing all the lights at the Super Bowl and not being Madonna enough or being too into herself or showing off too much skin or cockblocking the girls of Destiny’s Child and, of course, not wanting to look ugly so.

Bad Hair This is Troy Dyer now Ethan Hawke. At the premiere of Clive in New York. He directs and stars in the play. The play is not about Billy Idol. Ethan Hawke used to be my jam. It was that movie, right? That f-cking movie. When, at 21, you don’t know any better. That By Lainey • Feb 08, 2013 11:13 am

Lifestyle NY Fashion Week: Rachel Comey F/W 2013 Anne Hathaway’s hair is all over this runway. And the 80s too. Are we going back to high-waisted drop-ass jeans? I don’t think you’ll ever be able to talk me into a denim dress but I will DEFINITELY get down with a leather v-neck By Lainey • Feb 08, 2013 09:57 am
Lifestyle NY Fashion Week: BCBG Max Azria F/W2013 Totally disappointing. For those of you who wear a lot of BCBG, it’s an underwhelming collection, non? Like, looking at these clothes, does it make you want to extend your winter or dread September? There’s not one piece on this runway where I said to myself, “F-ck By Lainey • Feb 08, 2013 09:48 am
Movie Reviews and Previews The Chinese Benjamin Button Tony Leung is 50 now! That kinda just... it came up fast. There was a time I wanted to marry Tony Leung. Most girls growing up in Hong Kong homes did. He was Hong Kong’s most popular television actor. He had just starred in a very popular tv series By Lainey • Feb 07, 2013 06:35 pm
Baby and Bump Obsession Ben before BAFTA The BAFTAs are happening on Sunday. WHY DOES IT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE THE SAME DAY AS THE GRAMMYS?!?! And it’s Chinese New Year on Sunday. So Monday will be busy here. But I might be a bit slow getting going because of the celebrations. Anyway, Ben Affleck’s By Lainey • Feb 07, 2013 04:15 pm
BFFs Danny & Linus together again As many before me have already noted, what made Ocean’s 11 so great was the illusion that that was how they are when they’re all together, hanging out. That George Clooney, obviously, is the team leader. And Brad Pitt talks with his mouth full all the time. And By Lainey • Feb 07, 2013 03:27 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Zoe’s best sweatshirt Of all time? Look at this! It might also be the most expensive sweatshirt of all time but ... f-ck it, if I could afford it, I totally would. By Lainey • Feb 07, 2013 12:58 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Katharine’s white structured dress It’s a little boxy...but I’m into it. And the detail in that waist detail. If only the sleeves weren’t sheer. And if only she’d chosen a better pair of shoes. The shoe hate continues... By Lainey • Feb 07, 2013 12:25 pm
BFFs Perfect Best Friends Lindsay Lohan somehow talked someone into giving her a ticket to the AMFAR event last night New York in advance of NY Fashion Week. Can’t believe she was allowed in wearing that f-cking weave. How is this considered acceptable hair? Anyway, Ashley Greene was also at the event By Lainey • Feb 07, 2013 12:06 pm
Bad Style Annie in pink in Paris No. Not this time. The colour is gorgeous, yes. But the fit. Look at the chest area -- it’s deflating. And of course, you know how I feel about the material. No matter how beautiful the design, the material doesn’t hold up. This material, sateen or satin, it makes By Lainey • Feb 07, 2013 11:27 am
Oscars 2013 So is he taking his shirt off? The Academy announced yesterday that Channing Tatum (along with Charlize Theron, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Daniel Radcliffe) will participate in the Oscar telecast on February 24. It will be his first time there. And it’s not surprising. No one had a bigger year than Channing Tatum. Of course they’ By Lainey • Feb 07, 2013 10:10 am
Intro for February 7, 2013 Dear Gossips, Halfway through American Idol last night Jacek turned to me and declared: “I think Nicki Minaj might have just made my Five List.” It was indeed her strongest episode. And her feedback feels genuine and raw, without the blatant intent to shock that has become Simon Cowell’s By Lainey • Feb 07, 2013 09:35 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: SJP’s strapless sack I know there’s not a lot of structure going on here but... I love it, so much more than what this dress looked liked on the runway – click here to see. Maybe because she just seems so comfortable, not being restrained by a defined waist. Maybe it’s because, By Lainey • Feb 07, 2013 09:32 am
