Book Review Here’s your Christian Grey Who? If you don’t know, congratulations. Because you obviously haven’t made the mistake of reading Fifty Shades of Grey. I envy you. I want to UN-read it.

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Emma Stone's Parisian drama Some of you have emailed me saying you hate this look. But why? I don't get it. I'm obsessed with it. It's pure drama. It's amazing. It's definitely not boring. SHE is not boring. Why not be more interesting than By Lainey • Jun 20, 2012 01:39 pm
Hook Ups The new modern family Mary-Kate Olsen is dating Olivier Sarkozy. She’s 26, he’s 42. Here they are in New York the other day with his daughter, a manifestation of the new modern family. Many of you are huffing about her smoking around the kid. I won’t get in the way By Lainey • Jun 20, 2012 12:50 pm
Break Ups The breaking of Johnny & Vanessa Some more insight into the confirmation yesterday that Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis are over but first, the timing of the announcement was not an accident. They waited for all magazines to close on Monday before releasing their statement yesterday so that they’d be able to avoid the supermarket By Lainey • Jun 20, 2012 12:06 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Maleficent is camping? For some reason, seeing the Jolie in costume as Maleficent in England today surrounded by bulls (I think they’re bulls but if they’re not I apologise - I am terrible at identifying animals) reminded me of True Blood Season 2 and that crazy ass maenad Maryanne. Wasn’t she By Lainey • Jun 20, 2012 11:10 am
Intro for June 20, 2012 Dear Gossips, Celebrity pregnancy and baby quotes make me crazy. Yesterday, while trying to think of something to say about Megan Fox and whether to post new pictures of her, I came across this Us Weekly article that revealed that she and Brian Austin Green are “thrilled about the baby!

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Keira's headpiece Some people weren't into the styling here at the Seeking A Friend premiere the other night. Really? Because I'm all over it. All of it. She looks dreamy, soft, so elegant, impossibly chic. And the headpiece... I dream about having occasions to wear a headpiece but, By Lainey • Jun 20, 2012 10:32 am
Benedict Cumberbatch Bendy wins in America Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock was named Best Actor Movie/Miniseries at the Critics’ Choice Awards last night in Beverly Hills. But Bendy (which is a much better nickname for him considering how seemingly elastic his face is, and this serves him well creatively, doesn’t it?) was in England, attending By Lainey • Jun 19, 2012 04:05 pm
Break Ups Johnny & Vanessa: officially done They’ve confirmed that they have “amicably separated”. This after PEOPLE initially reported in January that they were all but over, living separate lives. Last month Johnny tried to deny it while promoting Dark Shadows but it looks like they couldn’t make the save. After 14 years and 2 By Lainey • Jun 19, 2012 01:57 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Lucy Liu's disappointing flutters Lucy Liu is better than this dress. She's better than these cheap looking flutters in unimaginative pale pink. This dress is for the likes of Ashley Greene. Or Ashley Tisdale. Or Hayden Panettiere. Someone who wants to be...but isn't. So disappointed by this choice. By Lainey • Jun 19, 2012 01:38 pm
Bad Style Julianne to sweep? As expected (basically as soon as they announced she’d be playing Sarah Palin it was expected), Julianne Moore won the Critics’ Choice Television Award for Best Actress in a Movie/Miniseries last night for Game Change. Emmy nominations will be announced next month. There is no way she’s By Lainey • Jun 19, 2012 01:28 pm
Thinnification Anne Hathaway: pimples and eye-rolls Anne Hathaway is Catwoman. And I really wish these comic book people would make up their minds about when to use one word or two words for the titles of their superheroes. Batman, Catwoman, Superman... But Spider-Man has to have a hyphen. And Iron Man is two words completely. By Lainey • Jun 19, 2012 12:48 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews This is Maleficent Jolie Disney just sent out a press release this morning announcing that production on Maleficent began on June 13 with Angelina Jolie in the title role. Interestingly enough, for a big ass deal like this, the film’s director is an amateur. Robert Stromberg has won 2 Oscars for production design By Lainey • Jun 19, 2012 12:00 pm
