BFFs Gwyneth’s weekend: garden parties and book signings Gwyneth Paltrow and Stella McCartney hosted an English garden party for GOOP in the Hamptons on Friday. How do you make it on the guest list for this event? If I walked in would they automatically direct my Chinese ass into the kitchen? The dress with the two hearts is By Lainey • Aug 26, 2013 02:01 pm
The Newsroom Ticking Clocks The Newsroom Season 2 Episode 7 recap My PVR didn’t originally record this episode, because it thought this episode wasn’t new. Enjoy that meta statement! Take it for what you will! Gaffes in cable providers aside, I’m not going to ask if anyone’s still watching The By Duana • Aug 26, 2013 01:33 pm
Xenu Michael Pena loves Xenu? Xenu had a birthday party the other day. It was the 44th anniversary of the Celebrity Scientology Centre and most of the notables who haven’t been excommunicated where there including the usuals – John Travolta, Kelly Preston, Jenna Elfman, and …Michael Pena? Where the f-ck have I been? I love By Lainey • Aug 26, 2013 12:52 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Divergent first teaser Shailene’s somehow unannoying VMAs There was a kind of feeling of quiet despair at the VMAs. Did you feel it, at home on your couch? I think it was because there was so much promise – NSYNC, Taylor and Harry, Drake – and then so much sweaty disappointment. The four members of NSYNC who know that By Duana • Aug 26, 2013 12:31 pm
Breaking Bad Ring of Fire Breaking Bad Season 5 Episode 11 recap The last episode – Buried - was about brute violence: the desert hit and Hank and Walt fighting in the garage. It’s back to the base violence that Walt never really took to. When given the choice, Walt’s MO has always been By Maria • Aug 26, 2013 12:17 pm
Style Willow Smith wins the VMAs If I looked this good in overalls and a pair of suede wedge booties, I’d wear them every day. She’s TWELVE. She’s TWELVE and already her innate sense of style is my favourite jam. I don’t love her English accent or her pre-teen summer fling, but By Lainey • Aug 26, 2013 12:03 pm
Music Art & Art Which do you prefer? Do you prefer Lady Gaga’s ARTPOP with the multiple wig changes and the cardboard cut-out? Or was Kanye’s stripped down silhouette for Blood On The Leaves more your jam? I give it to Yeezy. I liked the look of his body dancing in shadow. By Lainey • Aug 26, 2013 11:40 am
Robin Thicke Paula Patton grits hard Paula Patton seemed high on life last night. Can you blame her? I have nothing but love for Paula Patton today. She’s been through enough. And I don’t mean what Miley was doing to her husband with that foam finger. After all, he made the video. I know By Lainey • Aug 26, 2013 11:20 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Katy’s leopard and butterflies Those are butterflies, right? Whatever. They’re some kind of fly. I’m not up on my insect species but you are welcome to school me. The dress is Ungaro. It’s not for me. On her though, you know I don’t mind it. I’d rather a high By Lainey • Aug 26, 2013 11:12 am
Maple Leaf Rihanna shat on my Gossip Genie but not on Harry Styles I’ve been praying hard at my Gossip Genie for a Rihanna-Drake re-hookup. Have you noticed that Drake isn’t “linked” to many women the way famous men are constantly being “linked” to women? There’s a Toronto bias here at work, sure, but if you know about Drake and By Lainey • Aug 26, 2013 10:55 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Jennifer Hudson’s hounds tooth and leather She looks SO good in hounds tooth. Is it leather hounds tooth? I can’t say for sure but that’s a good idea: leather hounds tooth. I want it in a pair of pants. I wouldn’t mind it in a clutch either. By Lainey • Aug 26, 2013 10:27 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Selena’s busy Versace Too busy, I think. With the bustier and the studded trim and the thigh slit, there was so much going on. And from the front, the open flap of the dress across the chest was distractingly boxy, non? By Lainey • Aug 26, 2013 10:15 am
Douchebags Mrs Timberlake is invited to the after-party No reported sightings of Mrs Timberlake at the VMAs but she did show up for the after-party at the Dream hotel. That’s quite a dress too. It’s sheer. There’s underwear. It looks expensive. And… all it got was an after-party? Deprived the opportunity to be shown on By Lainey • Aug 26, 2013 09:57 am
Girly Throw Downs You should always go full Mean Girl Inspired by a line in Tropic Thunder. Either you know it or you don’t. I started the VMAs on Team Taylor last night. The hair and makeup were good. The matching colour dress with her bff Selena Gomez was good. With an ex-boyfriend in the house and the girlfriend By Lainey • Aug 26, 2013 09:47 am
Music What is she supposed to do? Honestly, what is Miley Cyrus supposed to do? She has a compulsion right now to prove not just that she’s not a little girl, but that she is down with the dudes. She gets it. She gets the jokes, nothing can faze her. She is not going to be By Duana • Aug 26, 2013 09:20 am
Music You don’t ever have to act again Even though the sound quality was sh-t, and I don’t blame him for that, and even though his vocals weren’t the best they’ve ever been, what Justin Timberlake threw down last night was, well, as my friend Michelle wrote to me halfway during his performance, “This medley By Lainey • Aug 26, 2013 08:39 am
