Coincidence or conspiracy Is Ryan in on it too? Last month a photographer miraculously found Blake Lively frolicking in a meadow with her dog (click here for a refresher), holding up a pink Moto X phone… and we were supposed to believe these were “candid” shots of her not getting paid. OK. On Thursday, Blake and Ryan Reynolds went By Lainey • Dec 16, 2013 09:57 am
Child Stars The Family Cyrus As Lainey said last week, Miley surged in 2013. The music stands. It stands up alongside Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and Lorde, and any pop album put out this year. Although Miley’s been famous for a long time, this is the year she actually arrived. But like By Maria • Dec 16, 2013 09:30 am
Hook Ups Harry’s headband and earrings Harry Styles performed on The X Factor with One Direction last night in a headband wearing an earring. And his shirt open low. And, ordinarily, that would give me the feelings in between my legs. But on Saturday he was in France at an awards show and reportedly flew back By Lainey • Dec 16, 2013 09:01 am
Homeland The Star Homeland Season 3 Episode 12 recap CLICK AWAY TO AVOID SPOILERS ……………………………. ……………………………. ……………………………. ……………………………. Do you ever get the feeling that Homeland is only a soundtrack and a heavy edit away from being a sitcom? Brody hides a body! Oh, that Brody! Carrie draws on a wall! Well, you can’t keep Carrie By Duana • Dec 16, 2013 08:43 am
Intro for December 16, 2013 Dear Gossips, Are you talking about Homeland? I thought about Homeland for an hour. And then I went back to Beyonce. It’s been an entire weekend and I still can’t keep my eyes off Beyonce’s “fatty”. Not going to lie – I’ve tried to do the “I By Lainey • Dec 16, 2013 08:25 am
Girlcrushes Two of our favourite women Let’s start with Amy Poehler. I love that Amy Poehler isn’t too big to still be doing sh-t like this – running around NYC in a goofy costume crashing into people with a camera and singing Christmas carols all while generally being funny and awesome and spontaneous. She’s By Lainey • Dec 13, 2013 03:47 pm
Lifestyle Sasha’s INTO IT: A bunch of stuff WHAT: A BUNCH OF STUFF WHERE: A BUNCH OF PLACES WHY: I usually get inspiration for these columns out of my own personal need for things. Initially today's post was going to be about how badly I needed these big ass earmuffs. But while I was writing, I By Sasha • Dec 13, 2013 03:31 pm
Friday Night Lights No more Tami Taylor Peter Berg confirmed recently that there will be no Friday Night Lights movie. Click here for a refresher. I don’t know anyone who’s sad about this. I’m not sad about re-mainlining all 5 seasons during the Christmas break and not having to worry that somehow they’ll By Lainey • Dec 13, 2013 01:31 pm
Music Britney Jean’s first week I read an article yesterday on the LA Times website. The title: Why isn't Britney Spears' latest album a hit? Britney Jean was released last week and came in at #4, the weakest first week of sales of her career. The article notes that the releases from By Lainey • Dec 13, 2013 01:18 pm
Bad Style The Mara sisters at Her premiere Kate Mara showed up at the Los Angeles premiere of Her last night to support her sister, Rooney. It’s a thing now with these two. Even at an event like this, they won’t pose together. Is this fascinating to me, and only me, because I don’t have By Lainey • Dec 13, 2013 11:38 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Flowers for Julia How do you follow up Beyonce and Olivia Pope? Everyone else today has to measure up. God I hope Angelina Jolie makes an appearance. But Julia Roberts works too. Julia was on Letterman yesterday before attending the premiere of August: Osage County. Beyonce? Sorry. Right now Beyonce is everything.

Scandal Boom, Bust, and Echo Scandal Season 3 Episode 10 recap (My apologies for the misnumbering last week. I forgot about Thanksgiving.) This was the name of one of those sure-winner Christmas-gift books about 20 years ago. About the baby boomers and all they wrought; we, by the way, are the “echo”. I like the By Duana • Dec 13, 2013 10:44 am
Music One B How does she keep her sh-t so tight? 14 new songs, 17 new videos – an entire “visual” album… and not one f-cking leak. Nothing. No press, no hype, no previews, no Justin Timberlake teasers to teasers to trailers… Just Beyonce by Beyonce. And why? Because Beyonce LOVES a mic drop. By Lainey • Dec 13, 2013 10:36 am
Beyoncé Intro for December 13, 2013 Dear Gossips, I mean...what else is there to talk about? We could, I suppose, talk about another satisfyingly crazy episode of Scandal. How about how deliciously depraved these people are? A man died...and grief is basically an afterthought. Grief takes a backseat to scheming and strategy. When Leo& By Lainey • Dec 13, 2013 09:05 am
Award Season Campaigning Julia spends nomination day with Dave You know what I say about a Letterman 3 segment guest -- he keeps them on because they entertain. And when Julia Roberts visits, he always wants her for as long as he can get her. It also happens to be Golden Globe nomination day. And her name was called By Lainey • Dec 12, 2013 05:11 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews A new pink-lined Joaquin Joaquin Phoenix was on Jimmy Fallon last night. Before every Joaquin interview, I’m always braced for the fontrum. You know. But what a pleasure he was this time – he was loose, he was funny, he was quick, he was nice… And it was an INTERVIEW. So, technically, press. Perhaps By Lainey • Dec 12, 2013 03:46 pm
