Baby and Bump Obsession The New York Times tries to give January Jones a personality January Jones. I don’t get it. Like, AT ALL. Granted I don’t watch Mad Men, but even if she is brilliant on the show (is she?), she is the celebrity equivalent of lukewarm….anything. Jones is just so boring and bland, even when an interviewer is trying to By Maria • May 23, 2013 11:00 am
Baby and Bump Obsession How GOOP Does Mother’s Day Pretty much like the rest of us: breakfast with her kids. My mom is an amazing cook and food is a huge part of our family life, so I understand Gwyneth’s cooking philosophy. I don’t blanche at her dietary restrictions because I think many of us grew up By Maria • May 10, 2013 12:41 pm
Baby and Bump Obsession There’s something about Nicole As Lainey mentioned yesterday, Gwyneth is co-hosting a web-series for AOL. Obviously, I will watch. You will too, don’t lie. To tease its line-up, AOL released a few clips, including close to 5 minutes of #CandidlyNicole, another web-series starring Nicole Richie. I watched it twice. I liked it. I By Maria • May 02, 2013 04:49 pm
Baby and Bump Obsession Edward Norton is a Father (Yes I Still Care) It’s hard to crush on a celebrity who is truly private. Sure a Leo or a Johnny Depp are private, but they also work a lot, meaning lots of promotional media. Edward Norton doesn’t work a ton (IMDb shows no movies in 2013), and his interviews are few By Maria • Apr 18, 2013 01:06 pm
Baby and Bump Obsession Honestly, Jessica Alba Yes this post is about Jessica Alba, but like so many conversations we’ve had over the past few weeks, let’s start with Gwyneth Paltrow. Gwyneth is owning it right now, and no matter how much we huff and puff and roll our eyes, there is also a sick By Maria • Apr 17, 2013 03:30 pm
Andrew McCarthy Nice pearls. This isn’t a dinner party, honey Are you Pretty in Pink or Sixteen Candles? You can’t be both. I find that, amongst my friends at least, loyalty lies with one movie or the other. Pretty in Pink is my jam. I’ve seen it at least 50 times and if it’s on TV, I By Maria • Apr 11, 2013 02:02 pm
Ben Affleck June and Walt Affleck Yesterday Lainey sent me (thanks Olivia!) this very funny piece from Elizabeth Banks’ website titled Parenting Tips From Natasha Leggero -- click here to read it. (Tip 10: Don’t get pregnant for the glow. DO get pregnant to stop smoking or get off cocaine.) Elizabeth Banks has two kids By Maria • Apr 11, 2013 11:29 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Jenna Tatum and a Panda What’s cuter than a pregnant woman with a teddy bear? That’s rhetorical, because nothing, obviously. I know very little about Jenna Dewan-Tatum, except that she dated Justin Timberlake, post-Britney/pre-Cameron. And of course she’s married to Channing Tatum. This is where celebrity hierarchy becomes fascinating, because when By Maria • Apr 09, 2013 10:35 am
Douchebags The Penns Need Anger Management Sean Penn, to me, is crusty in the worst way. He’s pretentious and self-righteous, he grandstands and has no sense of humour (remember his defense of Jude Law at the Oscars?). I find him insufferable. Penn has always had a difficult and angry relationship with the paparazzi – his last By Maria • Mar 28, 2013 10:41 am
Hustle Posh is a proper Fashion House As she retires from “singing” (and posing) with the Spice Girls and settles (back) into life in London, Victoria Beckham is making it clear that going forward, she is all fashion, all the time. Her online shopping site launched this week, and her recommended pick? Sunglasses. Like a pair of By Maria • Mar 26, 2013 03:49 pm
Douchebags Tiger thinks he’s Brange How closely did you follow the Tiger Woods cheating scandal? A parade of prostitutes, a frothy mistress, a mysterious car accident, the beautiful jilted wife…it was basically a story fit for Lifetime. But there have long been whispers that it was dirtier than reported, MUCH dirtier. That Tiger, though By Maria • Mar 21, 2013 03:48 pm
Baby and Bump Obsession Gwyneth’s Hunger Games (Lainey: as promised, there will be a lot of G on the site today. Previously we heard from Dean. Here’s Maria’s take on Gwyneth’s new cookbook.) It’s a wonderful time for gossip when Gwyneth is promoting something because raging on her is practically a national pastime. By Maria • Mar 14, 2013 03:24 pm
Baby and Bump Obsession Tina Fey & Mean Moms My favourite part of the 30 Rock finale was Liz Lemon on the mommy chat boards – an innocuous question about where to get a bike turns into a raging fight about gender issues and safety helmets. “It’s funny ‘cause it’s true” definitely applies here. Urban Baby, an anonymous By Maria • Mar 07, 2013 03:42 pm
Girly Throw Downs Amy’s a feminist, Tina’s a joker, and Taylor is… Yesterday, Taylor Swift’s Vanity Fair excerpt was released, in which she said, in regards to a Golden Globes joke by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, “There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women” (more on this quote later). Amy Poehler was asked By Maria • Mar 06, 2013 12:30 pm
Jennifer Aniston Jennifer Aniston’s Chicken Dinner The Top Story on PEOPLE.com yesterday afternoon was “Jennifer Aniston’s Foodie Tour of Connecticut.” Of course I clicked because Jennifer Aniston and food are things I don’t normally associate with each other. Not that I think she doesn’t eat – her personal chefs (yes, plural) have been By Maria • Mar 05, 2013 10:59 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Jackson Theron’s second first birthday party Charlize Theron’s son Jackson had his second first birthday party over the weekend. We rag on celebrities a lot for spoiling their kids, but I don’t think two first birthdays is that unusual because anyone who has planned one knows that organizing a date is a nightmare because By Maria • Feb 18, 2013 01:39 pm
