Hook Ups Tom Cruise is “for real” Tom Cruise was on Jimmy Fallon last night. They had a water fight. And he talked, again, about go-carting and motorcycles. It was better than the night before on Letterman, slightly, but Top Gun is still, these days, painfully uncool, “for real”. You know those commercials when they dress some By Lainey • Dec 19, 2012 04:10 pm
Good for Gossip There will be no Affleck + Stewart Ben Affleck is in Washington today at a House Armed Services Committee hearing on the situation in Congo. He’s been advocating for awareness in the region for a while now. Did you ever see State Of Play? Did you find him convincing? I did. Very. And in real life By Lainey • Dec 19, 2012 03:16 pm
Best and Worst of 2012 Best Love of 2012: Michelle Williams & Jason Segel But no pressure or anything! Seriously, because I love them. And maybe I’m a little biased. I broke the story in March that they were dating. And then a few weeks later, they were photographed together. And then they just stopped trying to hide it. Instead, there were family By Lainey • Dec 19, 2012 03:04 pm
Jessica Simpson Full body Porny In her first ad for Weight Watchers, Jessica Simpson was only shot from the neck up, presumably because she’d not reached her goal. Which, you know, is a lovely message, non? If you don’t reach your goal, it means you are hideous and no one wants to see By Lainey • Dec 19, 2012 01:45 pm
Dumbass Taylor & Harry: one week to Christmas OMG, will they make it? Taylor Swift and Harry Styles spent most of last week in England together. He showed her around the countryside and gave her 23 gifts to celebrate her 23rd birthday and it was several movie montages combined into one long music video. Time for a location By Lainey • Dec 19, 2012 12:59 pm
Maple Leaf The Buble Christmas tradition Michael Buble’s wife Luisana Lopilato arrived in Vancouver from Argentina yesterday with her family. Michael Buble and his family were at the airport to pick them all up. It’s becoming an annual tradition. Buble brings flowers, there’s a lot of hugging, and they all get into a By Lainey • Dec 19, 2012 11:20 am
Media Manipulation The Jolie is not making a movie about Robsten But f-ck, why not? Deadline reported yesterday that Angelina Jolie will direct a movie called Unbroken. #RobstenIsUnbroken? Yes. But no. But let’s put #RobstenIsUnbroken on our Best of 2012 list anyway, shall we? The Twi-Hard meltdown exceeded all of our expectations. If you can believe it, Nutty Madam’s By Lainey • Dec 19, 2012 10:48 am
Royals Katy Cambridge comes to the party By helicopter. But first... How was 2012, Your Majesty? Mostly good, if not great, right? With the exception of that ginger grandson taking off his clothes in Vegas, this was a very strong year for the Queen, and a wonderful follow-up to 2011 when Prince William married his Catherine as By Lainey • Dec 19, 2012 10:14 am
Intro for December 19, 2012 Dear Gossips, There’s a documentary to be released in January called $ellebrity. The filmmaker is Kevin Mazur. You already know his work. For years, Mazur has been one of the only photographers allowed inside all the major events. So when you see Angelina stroking Brad’s leg in the By Lainey • Dec 19, 2012 09:58 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Anna’s blue boots What’s with the daily fashion show, Anna Friel? Why am I complaining? If only Katie Holmes would throw it down like this after her play every night. Anyway, I’m not in love with this dress, but maybe because it’s the boots. You can tell it’s an By Lainey • Dec 19, 2012 09:13 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Michelle’s one piece dress If it’s a two piece, it’s very, very well put together. To me it seems like it’s all connected though, especially considering how short the sweater part would have to be, and given that the bottom of it doesn’t seem to be moving, I’m thinking By Lainey • Dec 19, 2012 08:58 am
Style Best of 2012: Zoe Saldana at the SAGs It’s almost been a year and I still love this dress SO MUCH. Remember Zoe Saldana in Givenchy at the SAG Awards? A beater tank! And she’s adorned with spikes around her neck. And it’s essentially a slouchy long blouse made from great material that’s at By Lainey • Dec 18, 2012 05:13 pm
Anne Hathaway Two movies Mimi won’t be seeing When Mimi was pregnant with twins, it was bleak. It was also bleak when she couldn’t find any butterfly snowflake false eyelashes. Mimi’s favourite word to describe any emotion less than ecstasy is “bleak”. Generally Mimi tries to avoid the bleak, and her life is structured so that By Lainey • Dec 18, 2012 03:54 pm
Best and Worst of 2012 Best of 2012: Ryan Lochte, dum-dum Ryan Lochte’s brain. It’s a beautiful thing. One of the most beautiful, entertaining things all year... It’s all of it in combination, of course: The grill... The “Jeah”... The “Bro” + “Jeah” equation... The clothing... The half limp... The way he takes his shirt off, Matthew McConaughey styles, By Lainey • Dec 18, 2012 01:40 pm
Tom Cruise Tom Cruise the conversationalist God that was painful. Just sat through Letterman’s interview with Tom Cruise last night. It was 3 segments which...if you’re familiar with Dave, you know, normally, only the veteran chatters, the good ones, they get 3 segments. Like Tom Hanks. Or Julia Roberts. George Clooney, Sandra Bullock, By Lainey • Dec 18, 2012 12:42 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews I like the red field A new trailer for Star Trek Into Darkness was released yesterday this time with more focus on Chris Pine’s Kirk who must battle a new adversary but, mostly, his own arrogance. Of course. His family is at risk. Everything is falling apart. They must run through an awesome red By Lainey • Dec 18, 2012 11:36 am
