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 too By Lainey • Jan 13, 2012 10:14 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Diane Kruger was kind of meh Am I crazy? I don’t love this Prada dress. In fact, I find it totally boring. Maybe it’s the combination of colours on a design that isn’t particularly fresh or inventive. And I’m not sure about the two yellow horns that pattern towards her groin.

Quiveration My boyfriend is hot and I know it Every morning, Kate, my producer at etalk, calls me about my script for the day’s show.

If I'm the Dean Backing Michelle? Both My Week With Marilyn and The Iron Lady are Weinstein pictures. Both Meryl Streep and Michelle Williams are considered locks for a Best Actress Oscar nomination. And so, corny corny, you could say that Harvey Weinstein has a Sophie’s Choice of his own. (Several months ago I overheard By Lainey • Jan 12, 2012 02:34 pm
Media Manipulation Shaving to rehab The TCA winter press tour was held at the Langham Pasadena. This is where I was staying last week and part of this week. They have great hotel pens.

Lifestyle Award Season Emma: So far so great Check out Emma Stone both at the NBR Awards on Tuesday night and the People’s Choice Awards last night. It’s a busy week for awards and there are still two events left. So far, Emma is doing it right. I love that she loves colour as evidenced by By Lainey • Jan 12, 2012 12:56 pm
Maple Leaf Knock off nude Look, I have a lot of love for Nina Dobrev. Yes, because she’s Canadian but also because she’s fiercely Canadian, meaning she hasn’t forgotten, like so many of them do. Etalk has been with Nina from the beginning of her career. Now she’s the star of By Lainey • Jan 12, 2012 12:18 pm
Famewhores Brange & Obama It was a summit of campaign experts yesterday as Brange met with President Obama in the Oval Office. They were invited by the President to discuss Angelina Jolie’s movie In The Land Of Blood And Honey. A photographer just happened to be outside, waiting for the right shot.

Bad Style Sh-tty leather dresses I have finished the first season of Veronica Mars. SO good. Like, I know I’m criminally late on this but, um, what’s up with the low ratings? It’s like Friday Night Lights. People must be allergic to excellence. Anyway, happily, despite my newfound love for Veronica Mars, By Lainey • Jan 12, 2012 10:46 am
Intro for January 12, 2012 Dear Gossips, I don’t understand the BAFTA Rising Star short list. It’s ONLY men. Which... fine.

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Ewan McGregor’s leather patches He enjoys a little leather here and there, non? At first I was l like – ummmm, why is Ewan McGregor at the People’s Choice of Awards? Turns out he was there to present to Morgan Freeman. So, you know, it’s not like he could say no. In the By Lainey • Jan 12, 2012 10:20 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Lea Michele in Marchesa You know, I don’t actually hate this Marchesa as much as I’ve hated other Marchesa’s. Like this one for example on Blake Lively. Blake’s is from the same collection, only infinitely more offensive. So Lea’s the sh-t to Blake’s diarrhoea. Besides, it’s By Lainey • Jan 12, 2012 10:13 am
Smutty Surgery A cape and red gloves Madonna premiered W.E. in London tonight wearing a cape and red leather gloves to match her lips. Go ahead. Start bitching. I know you need to get it out.
