Intro for January 16, 2012 Dear Gossips, Would Madonna have ever agreed to present the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film at the request of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association if the winner was Angelina Jolie? Somehow the HFPA gave her an award this season. When the Academy didn’t even include her song By Lainey • Jan 16, 2012 08:31 am
Golden Globes 2012 Intro and Golden Globes LiveBlog for Sunday, January 15, 2012 Dear Gossips, Welcome to the LaineyGossip Golden Globes LiveBlog! I LOVE the Golden Globes. I love cutaways at the Golden Globes. And I live for the commercial breaks at the Golden Globes. To see who they get up to talk to. And who they won’t talk to. And how By Lainey • Jan 15, 2012 06:15 pm
Clint Eastwood Romeo & Juliet! I know I’ve mentioned this before... But I LOVE Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo & Juliet. It’s in my personal Top 10 of all time, that’s how much I love it. Thank you Eleni and Corelli for giving me the DVD. I should watch it tonight since Leo’ By Lainey • Jan 13, 2012 05:34 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Bitchface looks great in black If you watched the Critics’ Choice Awards last night, you would have seen Charlize Theron’s bitchface in the audience several times. She had to break it while Donald Glover was complimenting her because she knew the camera would come over but every other time, it was pursed lips and By Lainey • Jan 13, 2012 04:51 pm
Girly Throw Downs If the Jolie presents, so will the Madge! As reported earlier, the Brange will present - likely separately - at the Globes on Sunday. And now comes word that Madonna will also be handing out a trophy. They’ve never met. Officially. But they’ve exchanged testy words in public. And, as a reader called Stacey reminded me By Lainey • Jan 13, 2012 04:39 pm
Chills Chills Chills Another award season without Tom Maybe he’ll be invited to present at the SAGs or the Oscars. So far though, his name has not appeared in relation to the Globes. And he certainly won’t hear his name called on January 24th when the Academy announces its nominees. So we’ll get little of By Lainey • Jan 13, 2012 03:42 pm
Quiveration Tristan 2012 Brad Pitt on the cover of the new issue of W. That hair. I am feeling the hair. And I don’t normally feel long hair on a man. But Tristan Ludlow was a universal quiver. I can’t even google the images without feeling almost hysterical with desire. It’ By Lainey • Jan 13, 2012 03:20 pm
Daniel Craig Keep complaining in your big ass apartment The NY Post reported yesterday that Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz are about to buy a 4,350 sq ft penthouse in Soho valued at $11.5 million. Three bedrooms, three bath, 2,000 sq ft of outdoor space (HOLY SH-T), and, of course, all kinds of crazy luxury. You By Lainey • Jan 13, 2012 02:28 pm
Quiveration How Leo got my quiver back All it took was a tan, a tux, a serious de-bloat... Leonardo DiCaprio was his very, very best in a long, long time last night at Critics’ Choice. Most of you probably didn’t watch (in Canada the show was only available on Superchannel), so you’re looking at these By Lainey • Jan 13, 2012 12:57 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Michelle’s old school black and white I LOVE this dress. It’s Chanel. There’s something old school about it, a hint of speakeasy without feeling like it’s a costume. And it doesn’t overwhelm her. A short girl always appreciates when another short girl can wear a gown that, on the hanger, seems like By Lainey • Jan 13, 2012 12:37 pm
Media Manipulation Presenting Brange The Huffington Post is reporting exclusively that the Brange will present at the Golden Globes on Sunday. When have you ever known Brange to present since they became the Brange? Angelina Jolie, it’s slightly more likely as she’s been more accommodating with public participation during their relationship. But By Lainey • Jan 13, 2012 12:15 pm
George Clooney Clooney the Candidate Most people get up on stage when they win and thank a list of agents and lawyers and studio people. If they're genuinely surprised, like Octavia Spencer, we are treated to moments of endearing fumbling and mumbling. When it's a veteran, it can be cheeky and By Lainey • Jan 13, 2012 11:49 am
Top Reads The Help is surging The Artist may have won Best Film and Best Director last night but The Help’s victories in acting ensemble and lead and supporting actresses gave it a huge boost as we head toward Oscar nomination day on January 24. The Help is exactly the kind of film the Academy By Lainey • Jan 13, 2012 11:21 am

As for the Critics’ Choice Awards last night... At this point in the Oscar race, the supporting categories seem to be shaping up. By Lainey • Jan 13, 2012 10:22 am
Lifestyle Two greens in a row Emma Stone went with a green Jason Wu last night at Critics’ Choice. There’s not a lot to complain about here, no. It’s just... I mean it’s not exactly punching me in the face with individuality and freshness, you know? She’s wearing a long, elegant gown. By Lainey • Jan 13, 2012 10:17 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Shailene Woodley keeps making good choices Whoever is styling Shailene Woodley this award season is doing a GREAT job. It’s not just the dress selections - though this Calvin Klein is a perfect fit, sexy but not too tight – but also the minimal accessorising, with hair that’s never fussy and makeup that’s never By Lainey • Jan 13, 2012 10:14 am
