Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Rooney’s first black dress of the year I don’t normally like a lace underlayer. It’s hard to do without looking tacky. This, however, is probably the best I’ve ever seen. Because it’s not tight. The construction of the skirt, with the volume, and then the strip of lace underneath that compliments the lace By Lainey • Jan 04, 2016 12:14 pm
BFFs Leonardo DiCaprio + Justin Bieber 2016 So far today we’ve posted articles on Bryan Cranston, Matt Damon, and Michael Fassbender from the Palm Springs International Film Festival – all Best Actor contenders working the voters before they submit their nomination ballots on Friday. Will Smith was also there, by the way. As for Eddie Redmayne, he By Lainey • Jan 04, 2016 11:39 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Saoirse’s New Year mixed print Right now, it seems like it’s Brie Larson who has the edge on Saoirse Ronan for Best Actress Oscar. On style though, well, Saoirse’s been bringing it for years. She’s been a Rodarte favourite forever. And I love the way she eased into New Year award schedule, By Lainey • Jan 04, 2016 11:12 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Carrie’s New Year’s shiny suit I don’t actually mind the suit. It was New Year’s Eve. It was shiny. It was well-tailored. It’s so much better than the dresses she wears to award shows. But then she had to go ruin it with that hair. Please promise me you will never, By Lainey • Jan 04, 2016 10:29 am
BFFs Matt Damon for Ridley Scott The director-actor partnership you’ve been hearing most about during this award season has been Inarritu-DiCaprio. Alejandro is the auteur who’d only shoot in natural daylight, or something like that, and, word is, made the shoot a “living hell”, to the point where some crew members walked By Lainey • Jan 04, 2016 10:13 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Rihanna’s New Year glasses I don’t miss having to wear glasses. But I do miss wearing glasses. Does that make sense? Duana came over last week wearing her new glasses and looked so f-cking good I was like, f-ck it, I need some fresh frames. Look at these ones on Rihanna. By Lainey • Jan 04, 2016 09:50 am
Chinese Squawking Chicken Taylor Swift & the Five Elements There are five elements in Chinese philosophy: Fire, Wood, Water, Earth, and Metal (but the Chinese word for it is “gold”). We believe that each person has their own zodiac sign and elemental phase. For example, I was born in the Year of the Ox in the metal phase. Which By Lainey • Jan 04, 2016 09:37 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Bryan Cranston sells the speech Before the New Year, most Oscar prediction experts were in agreement that it would be Leonardo DiCaprio winning Best Actor. He will most likely win Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama at the Golden Globes on Sunday, because those dicksuckers at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association love him. But By Lainey • Jan 04, 2016 09:10 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Brie’s New Year green Brie Larson is definitely going to be nominated for an Oscar. So it’s maybe time for an elite style team? The dress is fine. Fine and forgettable. The makeup, however, is all kinds of 15 years ago. As Jordy just put it, “It’s very Friends”. Exactly. And Brie By Lainey • Jan 04, 2016 08:58 am
Hook Ups #jailey I have a new New Year’s Resolution: that that will be the first and last time I call them #jailey on my blog. It’s a terrible moniker. But that’s what’s been blowing up on social media since last night when Justin Bieber posted this shot of By Lainey • Jan 04, 2016 08:40 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Johnny Depp & “Amanda” Heard in Palm Springs As mentioned earlier, several major Oscar contenders attended the Palm Springs International Film Festival on Saturday to accept awards but, mostly, to campaign for an Oscar nomination. Palm Springs has a great recent record of honouring those who go on to Oscar consideration so, even though they require their award By Lainey • Jan 04, 2016 08:21 am
Hook Ups Miley & Liam 2016? Now this is exactly how I want to start the year: Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth back on? They were seen together this weekend in Australia, at the Falls Music Festival. My Preferred Hemsworth (on looks, obviously, because GODDAMN he is hot) was there with his two brothers, Chris and By Lainey • Jan 04, 2016 07:56 am
Chris Rock Intro for January 4, 2016 Dear Gossips, Happy New Year! Welcome back from the holiday break. If you were totally internet-free during your time off, I have two things to say: um, how?, and also, please scroll down and get caught up. There is no time for “previouslys” at our gossip meetings. Especially not By Lainey • Jan 04, 2016 07:29 am
Oscars 2016 Mimi’s billionaire NYE It’s already 2016 in Australia. Happy New Year! And aren’t you lucky. Because your new year began in the presence of our elusive butterfly. Mimi was in Melbourne for New Year’s Eve, performing at Crown Casino which is owned, of course, by her boyfriend, the billionaire James By Lainey • Dec 31, 2015 02:14 pm
Best and Worst of 2015 Best of 2015: Drake’s Hotline Bling I first posted about Drake’s Hotline Bling video in October - click here to see that article. It was the goofy dancing, the turtleneck, and the body positivity. In the weeks that followed, Hotline Bling became the most memorable video of the year, the most memed video of the year.

Best and Worst of 2015 Best of 2015: Justin Bieber’s Sorry You could take that title several different but related ways. First, Justin Bieber’s contrition. You remember? All those visits to Ellen? All those apologies? And the roast? He grovelled, kinda sorta, but that’s how it was branded. And the point? Well the point was a new musical direction, By Lainey • Dec 31, 2015 11:59 am
