Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Kate’s jumpsuit and high pony It’s a good jumpsuit…but everything around it is a problem. The fake hair ponytail, I hate it. Why not just a skinny topknot? Because the combination of the pony and the platforms cheapen the entire look, non? All that’s missing is a French manicure. By Lainey • Jul 22, 2014 01:09 pm

Boy Sh-t Boy Sh-t: Leonardo DiCaprio & Matt Damon edition So…this appeared on Instagram last night: See, that’s the kind of gossip I’m talking about. Good Gossip.

Baby and Bump Obsession Intro for July 22, 2014 Dear Gossips, It’s Big G’s first birthday! His parents have urged the public to refrain from sending gifts, not only because that child has everything he could possible want, but also because that child only wants things he can crush.
