Movie Reviews and Previews World War Z determined to break my heart even more World War Z is one of my favorite books. It’s brilliant, not just as a piece of genre fiction but as socio-political satire. The movie version starring Brad Pitt which was released in 2013 is an abomination and no recent movie has broken my heart the way that By Sarah • May 26, 2015 12:45 pm
Rihanna Rihanna’s 4 minutes for Dior Rihanna’s full length short film (the pretentious way of pretending it’s not a commercial) for Dior is now online. Am I a stupid c-nt for being underwhelmed? Not that I’ll ever complain about watching Rihanna. I just feel like they’ve reduced Rihanna to 50% here. By Lainey • May 26, 2015 12:12 pm
BFFs Gwyneth & Chris on Memorial Day At this point, Joel Silver’s annual Memorial Day party has become like Vanity Fair’s post-Oscar bash. It’s an appointment for the paparazzi. Everyone knows about it. So if you decide to go, you understand that you’ll be photographed. Which, I guess, is why Gwyneth Paltrow By Lainey • May 26, 2015 11:52 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Melissa McCarthy redeemed I loved Melissa McCarthy on Gilmore Girls, so I was glad to see her get a mainstream break in Bridesmaids in 2011, but nothing McCarthy did after that lived up to the promise of Bridesmaids. That movie made McCarthy seemed like a comedic tour de force, someone with the ability By Sarah • May 26, 2015 11:11 am
Media Manipulation Bond in a great coat Check out Daniel Craig in London on Sunday night shooting Bond Spectre. God he looks great in that ¾ coat. Actually, no, he looks great in both coats. Spectre is due in theatres November 6. That…doesn’t feel like it’s too far away. And I feel like it doesn’ By Lainey • May 26, 2015 10:48 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Michael Fassbender in Slow West A crafty subversion of the Western genre, Slow West is in turns hypnotic, lyrical, and absurd. It’s a pitch-black dark comedy centered on a hopelessly romantic quest that’s more interested in episodic beats than it is a cohesive narrative, which means it won’t be for everyone.

Hook Ups What happened to Chris Evans? A few weeks ago Lily Collins was supposedly dating Chris Evans. Click here for a refresher. There was something. Because his reaction to the question during the Avengers press tour was…well… maybe he was just drunk: Anyway. Didn’t last. Because according to her social media, Lily is back By Lainey • May 26, 2015 10:03 am

Quiveration Every time I see you falling… Even when I’m 90 I will still know every single word to this song. New Order’s Bizarre Love Triangle, obviously. Substance! God, that album. For an entire year, I used to get ready to Thieves Like Us, pretending I was Molly Ringwald. Anyway, Brandon Flowers (you didn’t By Lainey • May 25, 2015 04:17 pm
Celebrity Social Media Smutty Social Media, Monday May 25, 2015 Jason Street, I mean Scott Porter, is a dad. Game Changer. #BabyBoyMcCoy pic.twitter.com/cLCvHnbJhV— Scott Porter (@ScottPorter) May 25, 2015 Get over it, Uncle Jesse. Seriously, did anyone involved in this project think for even a second the Olsen twins would be involved? Of course not. They don’ By Maria • May 25, 2015 03:48 pm
Style Sienna’s Cannes closers Sienna Miller wore two Gucci dresses to close Cannes. The first was a dusty rose tiered gown that would have been just ok if not for that red collar and the caped shoulder which saves it from being Marchesa which, kinda sounds like I just compared sh-t to diarrhoea.

Lifestyle Duana Names: The Strike List Hi Duana, This is a bit of a different situation as I am not the mother to be, but rather the sister in law to the mother to be. I was hoping in your infinite wisdom you might be able to help so that I could too. Long story short, By Duana • May 25, 2015 02:28 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Alicia & Michael in Monaco Macbeth was screened at Cannes to very strong reviews for everything – the performances, the cinematography, the pace of the story… And for a minute there it looked like it might contend for the Palme d’Or. Instead, it ended up being Jacques Audiard’s Dheepan. That doesn’t mean it By Lainey • May 25, 2015 01:06 pm
Amazingness Mimi reclined There was a great article about Mimi over the weekend at The Daily Mail. Damion Young used to be Mimi’s best friend. He started off as her producer. Then he just became her +1 for everything. They’ve since fallen out. But now he’s giving interviews to tabloids By Lainey • May 25, 2015 12:02 pm
Media Manipulation Chris Pratt’s pre-apology Chris Pratt is about to start heavy press for Jurassic World. So he posted a pre-apology on Facebook in the event that he f-cks up during an interview. It’s wonderful. He is wonderful. Let’s read it together first: I want to make a heartfelt apology for By Lainey • May 25, 2015 11:29 am
Sports Hot Harry on a Horse meets his niece Multiple outlets are reporting that Prince Harry went to visit the Cambridges this weekend to meet his niece, Charlotte. Great. More importantly, he played polo on Sunday. Ginger and green is a great combination. As is Hot Harry and a horse. And the white pants. Also, Harry’s competition face.
