Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Gwen Stefani: the almost best That black jumpsuit on the carpet? Nothing is touching that. Obsessed. The red dress for the performance? You know, where she and Adam Levine had no chemistry, like Fifty Shades Of Grey? With that stupid nasty sh-t at the hip? PISS. It was piss. By Lainey • Feb 09, 2015 12:12 pm
Media Manipulation We have two races Boyhood won the BAFTA last night. But on Saturday, the Directors Guild picked Birdman. The DGAs are considered a very, very, VERY good predictor of Oscar Best Picture; only 7 times in history have the DGA and the Academy picked differently. Even still, Boyhood has its share of support. So By Lainey • Feb 09, 2015 11:44 am
Media Manipulation Superman and Captain America stand next to each other Yesterday at the BAFTAs Chris Evans and Henry Cavill presented Julianne Moore with the Best Actress award. Two handsome men of the superhero persuasion stood next to each other, and the internet collectively lost its sh*t. It’s understandable—they’re both really, really, really ridiculously good-looking, though By Sarah • Feb 09, 2015 11:29 am
Style Kristen Wiig’s best performance I thought by now that I would be tired of it. Tired of Sia’s substitutes. But it actually keeps getting better. And now I wonder how it could possibly be better than Kristen Wiig’s performance last night. It’s her best acting of all time, like, ever. She By Lainey • Feb 09, 2015 11:18 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Julianne’s red BAFTA collar Like Reese Witherspoon’s, this is a breast dress too. Unlike Reese Witherspoon’s, there’s an actual design element. It doesn’t look like she borrowed it out of the closet of a real housewife of Beverly Hills. But then again, that’s why Tom Ford chooses carefully. By Lainey • Feb 09, 2015 11:04 am
Grammy Awards 2015 Rihanna’s meme dress You know it was going to happen. That it wouldn’t be long before Twitter turned Rihanna’s Giambattista Valli Grammys dress into a meme. The meme: Rihanna Quince. Go look it up on Twitter. Here’s a taste: rihanna wore this dress because she had to run to her By Lainey • Feb 09, 2015 10:47 am
Relationship Assumption Beyonce married herself at the Grammys Did you see the Carters kiss when Beyonce won her Grammy? Duana texted me about 15 seconds later: “I just rewound that kiss three times. Did not buy. Am Conspiracy Theorist?” My reply: “Well they’ve never been known for their sexual chemistry.” Duana: “Isn’t that the whole point By Lainey • Feb 09, 2015 10:19 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Reese is dressing like Sofia Hate the colour. Hate the cut. Hate the fact that she’s pretty much taking style inspiration from Sofia Vergara now. There is NOTHING interesting here. There’s no imagination, there’s no originality, there are only breasts. Purple breasts. By Lainey • Feb 09, 2015 10:03 am
Sit DOWN Sit DOWN, Nicole Kidman Nicole Kidman’s Thierry Mugler last night was one of the carpet’s best. But f-ck her, we’re not giving her the satisfaction. Because did you watch her interview with Ryan Seacrest? He asks her the question. He asks her about the dress. She pauses. And then, “I By Lainey • Feb 09, 2015 09:47 am
Gorgessity The McDuffs: Best BAFTA Couple Eddie Redmayne and Hannah Bagshaw. Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Turner. Even Keira Knightley and James Righton. All fine and worthy candidates, sure. But for me, the title of Best BAFTA Couple belongs to the McDuffs, Anne-Marie Duff and James McAvoy, arguably the most acclaimed (though underrated) couple in the By Lainey • Feb 09, 2015 09:25 am
Music Annie Lennox destroyed the Grammys It’s a good song…although I find it repetitive which is probably why it needed her. Because did she ever take the Church to another level, holy F-CK, Annie Lennox. Holy F-CK. Who could possibly follow that? Is that why I’m listening to No More I By Lainey • Feb 09, 2015 09:11 am
Amazingness “No Kanye” After all these years, do you feel differently now about what Kanye West did to Taylor Swift at the VMAs? “Imma let you finish”? It’s still a dick move, yes. But would you change Gossip History and remove it from the Gossip Books? I’m not even sure Taylor By Lainey • Feb 09, 2015 08:49 am
BFFs Taylor Swift: the Julia Roberts of the Grammys Vulture asked a very important question on Twitter last night: Who has more friends, Taylor or Gwyneth? It’s been a year now, right? Since I first started calling Taylor Swift the “Friend Collector”? She’s also, like, the official mascot of music award shows now too. You can always By Lainey • Feb 09, 2015 07:57 am
Grammy Awards 2015 Madonna’s Grammys squatting To me, Madonna looked stiff last night at the Grammys. There was no fluidity in her movements. My friend Iain, the most ardent Madonna fan I know, even he called her performance “cautious”, wishing she would just let go. That’s about as critical as it gets from Iain on By Lainey • Feb 09, 2015 07:21 am
Chinese Squawking Chicken Intro for February 9, 2015 Dear Gossips, Did you know that both Taylor Swift and Kanye West were born in the Year of the Snake? If you’re a Snake too, here’s what my ma, the Chinese Squawking Chicken, is advising for the Year of the Goat/Sheep: Might not be the best year By Lainey • Feb 09, 2015 07:01 am
Quiveration I am really attracted to Stephen Colbert I mean, I’m always attracted to Stephen Colbert… But right now, with his glasses off, and his hair longer like that, and you can see his nose and his cheekbones, so defined… Oh My God. Is there even a little Rob Lowe in his face? THERE IS TOTALLY ROB By Lainey • Feb 06, 2015 03:30 pm
