Media Manipulation Ben Affleck Don Draper Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are going strong, and despite the Oscar snub, my goodness is it paying off. Is Argo pretty much a lock for Best Picture at this point? (I hated it, did anyone else hate it? [Lainey: I liked it very much.] And I usually really enjoy By Maria • Feb 15, 2013 04:40 pm
Lifestyle Sasha Finds: Reese’s The Row alternatives Hi Sasha! I'm absolutely obsessed with Reese's black bag from The Row. Unfortunately as a college student, I can't quite afford to buy the bag itself. Any suggestions for a similar look at a lower price (less than $350)? Thank you!!

Lifestyle NY Fashion Week: Ralph Lauren F/W 2013 It’s still a distinctly signature Ralph Lauren American collection. But... inspired by Joe Wright’s Anna Karenina. Several of the pieces could have made the movie. And they’re gorgeous. In my opinion, one of his strongest. Look at this amazing velvet cap-sleeved dress.

Keith Urban Aussie Valentine’s Day in LA Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban went out for Valentine’s Day in LA last night -- dinner at The Eveleigh, what my friends in LA call “the Australian place”; it’s run by Aussies. I reviewed The Eveleigh last year. Click here for that article. I like that they went By Lainey • Feb 15, 2013 02:25 pm
Vampire Diaries “I will live a happy life without you”, he lied The Vampire Diaries Season 4 Episode 14 recap It took damn long enough! Seriously, this episode, with the wandering and the moaning, and one person after another discovering that in fact there was only cure enough for one person, was kind of exhausting, wasn’t it? I mean, we get By Duana • Feb 15, 2013 01:51 pm
Hook Ups Britney’s Valentine’s Date Britney Spears went out for dinner last night and they’re calling this a “mystery man”. It’s been a month or so since it was formally announced that Britney and Jason Trawick were done. Everyone’s waiting then for Britney to find love again. Britney, as we know, finds By Lainey • Feb 15, 2013 12:51 pm
Parent Pimps The Day of (a Mother’s) Love It was quite a tame Valentine’s Day, celebrity-wise. Jessica took Jackpot Johnson out for a spin, Goop showed us the joy of cooking for one and apparently Brad gifted Angie with breath mints. So when in doubt, turn to the mothers. Vanessa Minnillo shared a page from her private By Maria • Feb 15, 2013 12:36 pm
Brad Pitt The Jolie Halitosis? US Weekly printed a hilarious Valentine’s Day story yesterday about the Brange. According to the magazine, Brad Pitt gave Angelina Jolie a “breath freshening” product as a symbol of his love.

Girly Throw Downs Tom Cruise vs Nazis & Pervs Many years ago, I wrote about the hierarchy of celebrity tabloids. In short, PEOPLE and US Weekly at the top, and the bottom feeders are Star, IN TOUCH, and Life & Style. If you’ve been reading my blog long enough, you know I rarely bother with a story that By Lainey • Feb 15, 2013 11:58 am
Lifestyle NY Fashion Week: Marc Jacobs F/W 2013 Is Marc Jacobs the jewel of NYFW? I am OBSESSED with the metallic shirt dress that looks like a nurses uniform (attached first).

Amazingness Mimi declares ownership of Valentine’s Day Mimi’s already taken over Christmas and now she’s decided that Valentine’s Day must be hers too. Think of every Valentine’s Day cliché and convention. Red? Petals? Balloons? Butterflies? Bubbles? Carriage rides? Please. Mimi’s covered it all. She’s worth half a billion dollars and everything By Lainey • Feb 15, 2013 11:02 am
Lifestyle NY Fashion Week: Calvin Klein F/W 2013 Black and white. Black and white. Almost exclusively. Starting September then, that’s all you need in your closet. What do you think of this leather dress? It’s half a warrior’s costume and half a dance gown. Or maybe I’m just distracted by Carolyn Murphy’s pipes. By Lainey • Feb 15, 2013 10:52 am
Intro for February 15, 2013 Dear Gossips, Safe Haven isn’t getting the best reviews. For the people who would go to Safe Haven though, reviews don’t matter. They keep trying to make Julianne Hough happen. Maybe Nicholas Sparks can finally accomplish that. But what is Lasse Hallstrom’s excuse? This is the second By Lainey • Feb 15, 2013 10:34 am
Lifestyle NY Fashion Week: Proenza Schouler F/W 2013 Great clothes, as expected. What bothers me though about some of these shapes is that they have to be seen from top to bottom, and preferably in movement. Obviously. As they should be. But working in television, there’s also the sit factor. How does it look sitting down, when By Lainey • Feb 15, 2013 10:22 am
Lifestyle NY Fashion Week: J Mendel F/W 2013 Never been big on J Mendel, and it’s not because Taylor Swift has been wearing him a lot lately. It’s just never...all that imaginative, you know? I mean, this leather trench is good, nice, but it’s also not the very first time you’ve seen it, By Lainey • Feb 15, 2013 09:33 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Valentine Porny: Pink & Pregnant Porny's freeloader took her to lunch today in Santa Monica presumably to celebrate Valentine's. As you can see, she's in pink, the prototype for Pregnant Barbie if they ever released one on the market. Is Pink the official colour of the expectant? Why? Why By Lainey • Feb 14, 2013 05:59 pm
