Relationship Assumption Front Row Gwyneth Gwyneth Paltrow spent the weekend in Europe. She was photographed promoting Audi in Austria. Most likely a paid opportunity? But it’s also Paris Fashion Week. And today was the Chanel Haute Couture presentation. So, why not? Especially when there’s always a seat for her in the front row By Lainey • Jan 26, 2016 11:05 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Lena’s pink pantsuit Without the boots, it’d be a different thing entirely. Like a school trustees’ meeting. With the boots, I’m digging it. But how about this sweater she has on with the hearts around the collar? SO cute. By Lainey • Jan 26, 2016 10:38 am
Equality Issues Kristen Stewart on diversity and gender equality As expected, since the #OscarsSoWhite situation has dominated the entertainment landscape the last couple of weeks, the question is being asked of celebrities at Sundance.

TV Updates I think Saint Tom the Huge Dork is gone for good I’ve been missing Saint Tom the Huge Dork, as Tom Hiddleston has deliberately lowered his profile over the last couple years. Saint Tom the Huge Dork was born of the glory days when he was last promoting 2013’s Thor: The Dark World, and doing silly dances all over By Sarah • Jan 25, 2016 03:59 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews Step aside, Ben, it’s Casey’s turn It is my opinion that between the Affleck brothers, Casey is the better all-around actor. He can do character work, he can carry as a lead, he can disappear into roles or look sufficiently Hollywood, depending on how “visible” you want your star to be. Ben Affleck has proven to By Sarah • Jan 25, 2016 03:24 pm

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Kerry’s leather crop So here’s a contrast to Kate Beckinsale in Park City, Utah for Sundance. It’s not a parka. But leather crop over the warmth of the skirt totally works, especially with those suede boots. By Lainey • Jan 25, 2016 01:14 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Chris Pine’s finest hours Every time I turn on the TV there’s a commercial on for The Finest Hours. It’s about Pendleton rescue mission attempt in 1952. Two oil tankers were destroyed in bad weather and the Coast Guard, along with citizens on a surfboat, saved almost all the passengers. The film By Lainey • Jan 25, 2016 12:58 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Kate Beckinsale dresses up for Sundance I suppose it should be no surprise that Kate Beckinsale, the ultimate over-dresser, wore this to Sundance. I’ve covered Sundance several times. Park City is not exactly a ballroom town during the festival. It’s cramped, it’s cold, it’s hard to walk anywhere. Which is why Kate By Lainey • Jan 25, 2016 12:05 pm
