Jennifer Lopez The Package This is not the first time I’ve seen Jennifer Lopez but each time is no less exciting than the last. Said it before and I’ll say it again, she’s one of the rare few who actually does walk around with a permanent spotlight – anyone on the press By Lainey • May 07, 2007 08:00 pm
Elton John Not for Everyone I hear you. You hate it. It’s weird and different and you wouldn’t wear it. Well neither would I. But there was a theme, and she did something different, my Kiki always tries something different… and I love it on her. Especially the hairpiece and the black trim By Lainey • May 07, 2007 08:00 pm
Blunt in Person Like many tonight, the photos don’t tell the story. None of the photos I’ve seen illustrate the exact shade of gun-metal gray of her dress, how unbelievably fit she was. And how game she is for The Game. We spoke with Emily Blunt on the carpet. Up By Lainey • May 07, 2007 08:00 pm
Kate Bosworth Kate in Love The beach photos were indeed on mark – she looks a LOT better. And Kate Bosworth looks happy. But first…about the posing. Have to tell you, she had me riveted for a while on the middle landing. As her boyfriend James Rousseau waited patiently in the wings, she stood for By Lainey • May 07, 2007 08:00 pm
Cate Blanchett The Golden Queen Have exhausted all the ways to describe the Gala’s co-chair Cate Blanchett but every time, she never ceases to impress. The images may not paint an adequate picture but I promise, this dress up close was a masterpiece. Every strand, every strand of that fringe was like a By Lainey • May 07, 2007 08:00 pm
Twins in Person Feel like a loser admitting this but I was, like, on tilt waiting for them to show up. Saw Ashley first and the first thing I noticed was that she’s not a stick insect. Far from actually. Nice arms, nice round bum, nice breasts… was pleasantly surprised. And MK By Lainey • May 07, 2007 08:00 pm
Jay Z The Train of the Night Lucy Liu came with Zac Posen, as many celebrities arrived on the arm of the designers who dressed them. You can see him adjusting her train here - the most spectacular train, like, ever. Again, the images don’t capture it adequately. I mean the detail of every ruffle, each piece By Lainey • May 07, 2007 08:00 pm
Honour of a Lifetime When celebrities arrive, hundreds of photographers and reporters start shouting their names. “Anna! Anna! Over here!” My producer Lara was standing on a riser wrangling interviews. We were beside ourselves over Anna Wintour and her daughter Bee Shaffer. Anna has the body of a 12 year old – she is exquisite. By Lainey • May 07, 2007 08:00 pm
Demi Moore The Gala, the Gossip, the Fashion The theme was honouring Poiret – the 20s are back, metallic is in full rage. Some did it well, others threw up all over themselves. But as suggested by my producer the lovely Lara, I’d be remiss if I didn’t describe what we’ve now dubbed Anatomy of a By Lainey • May 07, 2007 08:00 pm
A For Effort The hardcore posing I wrote about earlier? The inordinate amount of effort and strain that goes into creating a perfect red carpet photo? Christina Ricci made that happen last night. But while it wasn’t easy and she certainly worked her muscles off, thrusting that chin forward, cocking her hips By Lainey • May 07, 2007 08:00 pm
Heartbreak Homo and the Homewrecker Hugh Dancy is a babe in person. And my gaydar went ding ding ding. Back in the 10th grade, I would have been all over it. He’s a 15 year old’s crush, know what I mean? As for Claire – so mousy I barely noticed. Or cared. Sorry… By Lainey • May 07, 2007 08:00 pm
Katie Holmes A New Fortress New home for Tom Cruise and his RoboBride. The cost? Only $35 million. Katie’s new prison home is in Beverly Hills, seven bedrooms, nine bath, 1.3 acres, with – of course – a tennis court and a pool. Turns out the Cruise compound up to this point has only been By Lainey • May 06, 2007 08:00 pm
Jared Leto Perennially Pinned Pupils caught on tape Only a matter of time. Lindsay Lohan allegedly caught on videotape snorting cocaine, pulling a baggie out of her pocket and shoving her finger up a friend’s nose before hoovering some for herself. The tape, taken one night a few weeks ago at Teddy’s, has been sold to By Lainey • May 06, 2007 08:00 pm
Jared Leto Man-Purse vs Injections Two men, not so tough call. First - Jared Leto a week ago at the Australia VMAs. As I said at the time, Jared worked the straight iron and appears to have taken over from Kate Bosworth in emaciation. I’m told from Aussie gossips that among all the celebrities in By Lainey • May 06, 2007 08:00 pm
Cameron Diaz It’s Always the Shoes Cameron Diaz – always always the best footwear. And the premiere of Shrek The Third was no exception. Pink dress, metallic pumps – love, love, love. She looks divine, non? And well timed too. Because Pip was there and you bet your boob job she wanted it bad. To be breathtaking. To By Lainey • May 06, 2007 08:00 pm
Brittany Murphy Marrying Random I like this girl…she is a doll. Have met Brittany Murphy twice, both times she was a doll, if not a little crazy. Especially last year at a Toronto Film Festival afterparty drunk off her tree. Still…she is lovely. Lovely and polite and not Jessica Alba. But she By Lainey • May 06, 2007 08:00 pm
