Quiveration Mark Ruffalo is a turtle My friends and I rarely agree on attractiveness. I always say, for instance, that Duana likes mountain men. Like she’ll always prefer the 45 year old over the 25 year old. I’m with the 25 year old, obviously. One person we can all agree on, however, is Mark By Lainey • Apr 18, 2017 04:16 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Benedict Cumberbatch’s brown sweater Before we talk about Benedict Cumberbatch, I need to tell you what just happened to me.

Music JLO and ARod give back Here are some shots of Jennifer Lopez arriving in the Dominican Republic with her children on the weekend.

Olivia Munn Olivia Munn: life after (the other) ARod Here’s Olivia Munn arriving in Vancouver today to resume work on The Predator. Last week I posted about how it’s being suggested that she and Aaron Rodgers broke up because “she’s controlling”, on top of all that drama with his family, and how people assumed that she By Lainey • Apr 17, 2017 04:30 pm

Break Ups Ben Affleck & Jennifer Garner’s classic move Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, possibly the most memorable example of the classic Friday dump.
