Oscars 2016 Intro for February 29, 2016 Dear Gossips, I didn’t mind the pop-up Oscars. Was kinda fun reading those factoids. The thank you crawl, however, was totally classist. Basically it ended up being for the people who aren’t famous. Because it’s not like Leo or any of the winners in the major categories By Lainey • Feb 29, 2016 03:27 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Rachel goes back to warm Her hair was platinum the other day - click here for a refresher. It was a lot warmer at the Spirit Awards. And there's no way they'll f-ck with it overnight. I kinda liked it shock blonde though, didn't you? By Lainey • Feb 27, 2016 09:27 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Jessica's Spirit eyes Jessica Chastain loves blue, I think. The dress is ok. Her eye makeup is amazing. I love everything about this face and the middle part. Might have to jack this for myself for tomorrow on our live show. By Lainey • Feb 27, 2016 09:22 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Brie's pre-Oscar dress It's Chanel. I just... I mean I just don't think she's WEARING it, you know. Also the wrong shoes. By Lainey • Feb 27, 2016 09:14 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Cate's Spirits peacock I can usually defend anything on Cate Blanchett. And if it were someone else wearing this, the effect would certainly be a lot worse. But I can't get with this. The peacock as a standalone, fine. The peacock and that whole garden against a nude neutral, stop. By Lainey • Feb 27, 2016 05:38 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Jessica Biel's colours at the Spirits So many colours. Too many colours? I like the cut of the dress. It's sort of similar to mine tomorrow. Not sure about the print though. And the colours in the shoes are fine but the design of the shoe is so busy, there's just a By Lainey • Feb 27, 2016 05:32 pm
Maple Leaf Will Rachel be best dressed? Rachel McAdams will be at the Oscars on Sunday as a presenter and as a nominee – her first for Best Supporting Actress for her work in Spotlight. As previously noted, she won’t win. For her, the nomination really is the victory. Over the last year and a half, she’ By Lainey • Feb 26, 2016 03:49 pm
Cheating Loins Jennifer Garner is not the ashes! OH MY SWEET GOSSIP. Have you read the new Vanity Fair? Jennifer Garner on the cover? It’s Vanity Fair. It is DISH. It is so good, it is SO delicious. And it’s perfect, just f-cking perfect, for this weekend. Oscar weekend. She’s presenting. After almost 9 months By Lainey • Feb 26, 2016 03:09 pm
Bad Style Henry Cavill’s first Oscars Henry Cavill is confirmed to present at the Oscars on Sunday. Batman vs Superman opens in exactly a month. So they’ve decided it will be Superman repping the movie and not Batfleck. Which kinda makes sense when you consider that Jennifer Garner is also presenting. Henry has never been By Lainey • Feb 26, 2016 02:19 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Zendaya’s silk suit Sort of like pyjamas, and so f-cking stylish. But limiting, I think. Because not everyone could make this work, not in this material. With the shine and the tendency to wrinkle, it’d be a mess on anyone else. By Lainey • Feb 26, 2016 12:58 pm
Style Thandie Newton #SayHerName It’s a badass outfit without the message. But the message… Here’s Thandie Newton at the Essence Black Women in Hollywood event yesterday in a message tee that reads off the top: Black women are killed by police too And then a list of names. At the bottom: Can By Lainey • Feb 26, 2016 12:46 pm
Music Zayn’s Cry Me A River Zayn Malik performed It’s You on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon last week – click here for a refresher. The studio version was released last night. I thought it was a pretty song live and it’s just as pretty in studio. I love it. Still. More. This is By Lainey • Feb 26, 2016 12:03 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Kelly’s yellow pants Chartreuse, is it? These pants. So good. And this is one of those rare times when I like the way they’re falling at the bottom, all wide like that. Kelly Rowland’s one of the few people who can pull it off. By Lainey • Feb 26, 2016 11:40 am
Music Taylor’s privilege and Kanye’s ego When I wrote about Taylor Swift winning her second Album of the Year Grammy and her subsequent acceptance speech, which was directed at Kanye West, I noted that in doing so, she linked that award to him forever. Taylor Swift + Kanye West. FOREVER. Click here for a refresher. I’m By Lainey • Feb 26, 2016 11:09 am
Oscars 2016 Cracker Barrel Special Reserve Perfect Pairings: Michael Jackson and Madonna We’ve been leading up to the big night featuring our series of awards season “Perfect Pairings” of all time. First it was Denzel and Halle’s history making wins in 2002, then Matt and Ben’s Good Will Hunting win, followed by Barbara Streisand presenting Kathryn Bigelow with the By Lainey • Feb 26, 2016 10:33 am
Oscars 2016 Intro for February 26, 2016 Dear Gossips, As mentioned yesterday, Chris Rock isn’t talking until he takes the stage on Sunday as the host of the Oscars. But he did step out for the Essence Black Women in Hollywood event. It’s an important event to support, obviously, and also, this is a point By Lainey • Feb 26, 2016 09:28 am
