Intro for January 22, 2013 Dear Gossips, Richard Blanco looked exhausted, didn’t he? And I would have expected him to. After writing a brilliant poem honouring the American experience to commemorate the second term of America’s first black president, I would have expected him to look the way he did. I would think By Lainey • Jan 22, 2013 10:55 am
Lifestyle Paris Haute Couture Week: Christian Dior SS2013 See this, and think of Versace’s embarrassingly low-rent collection yesterday – click here for a refresher -- and, well, I wonder if Donatella’s getting her membership card revoked. An exquisite collection from Raf Simons. And I can’t wait to see this on the carpets. Marion Cotillard, of course, By Lainey • Jan 22, 2013 10:52 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Jakey shaved and under-loved It’s been a while, right?, since we’ve seen Jake Gyllenhaal so clean-shaven? He was hairy for Broadway for several months. Now it’s all come off, here in Georgia, on the set of Prisoners with Hugh Jackman (not pictured). That...is definitely not an electronic cigarette. Sh-t. Now By Lainey • Jan 21, 2013 05:21 pm
Gorgessity The hotter Sherlock? My cousin Cat thinks so. She’s big into Elementary. And once in a while on my bbm there will be a sly inquiry about Jonny Lee Miller. Like, are you sure you don’t want to post any photos of him today? I don’t have a strong opinion By Lainey • Jan 21, 2013 04:50 pm
Douchebags Inauguration Poetry Yahoo! asked James Franco to write a poem in honour of President Obama’s inauguration. He didn’t say no. So I feel like most of our disgust should be directed at Yahoo! This poem would not have happened if they hadn’t requested it. The “poem” is really just By Lainey • Jan 21, 2013 03:48 pm
Lifestyle Sasha Answers: 23 year old virgin I’m 23 and a virgin. I’ve been casually seeing this guy (he’s 27) for about two months now. He’s really sweet, but apart from movies and tv shows, we don’t have all that much in common. We get along great and we never run out By Sasha • Jan 21, 2013 02:24 pm
Lifestyle Sasha Answers: Petty over wedding dates Hey Sasha, I have been with my fiancé for a couple of years before we got engaged, which was back in the spring of 2011. We set the date almost immediately and it was no secret to anyone. We booked our venues, made a website, etc. almost immediately and had By Sasha • Jan 21, 2013 02:17 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Granny goes “indie” Last week, on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter, Nicole Kidman was all like, “I am the indie spirit, and that’s where my art is, not with the big box office movies”. So here she is, at Sundance this weekend, being “indie”. Everyone else is in parkas and Sorels By Lainey • Jan 21, 2013 01:50 pm
Baby and Bump Obsession Drew has it all (but only wants some of it) If I didn’t know better, I would think Drew Barrymore was campaigning for an Oscar right now. She is very present: Ellen, baby photos sold to PEOPLE, Oprah’s Next Chapter (which aired yesterday), and the Good Housekeeping February cover. This is a push usually reserved for a new By Maria • Jan 21, 2013 01:31 pm
Top Reads Inauguration dates I am all up in this Inauguration Porn. Can’t get enough. Beyonce just sang. And she was great. So I promise you, or I warn you, whichever is more appropriate, there will be another Beyonce post either later today or tomorrow when more pictures are available. For now, here By Lainey • Jan 21, 2013 12:53 pm
Style Gwyneth’s favourite new bag It’s gorgeous. She was carrying it around LA for a few days and was seen with it again at LAX, and this time she also had a larger tote with her from the same collection. It’s another thing that G loves to lord over... everyone. Gwyneth Paltrow has By Lainey • Jan 21, 2013 12:09 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Naomi’s Sundance stripes, leather, and kicks Probably my favourite Sundance look so far. You don’t have to wear Erdem to Sundance. In fact, you probably shouldn’t. Sundance is, perhaps, as close to “imitable” as it gets where celebrity and civilian is concerned. We can all do a thin, slouchy, striped sweater. And leather jeans By Lainey • Jan 21, 2013 11:54 am
Lifestyle Duana Names: Eleanor Ruby & Jackson William Joseph Hi Duana! I love your input on baby names and it's rather timely that you've started offering advice more often as I need one for my first born in the next few months. I could offer details on why I am considering these names, but much By Duana • Jan 21, 2013 11:39 am
Parent Pimps Ashlee Simpson, Lucky Star This is Ashlee Simpson’s video for her song Bat For A Heart which looks to me like a millennial version of Madonna’s Lucky Star. She says “f-ck” and it’s supposed to be hardcore. How many different things has Ashlee Simpson tried to be? And is it unfair By Lainey • Jan 21, 2013 11:21 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Elisabeth’s gold button sweater It’s a really good Sundance sweater. It looks great over her jeans. This would be the opposite of dressing like an asshole at Sundance. You know how it is at Coachella when Vanessa Hudgens attaches a fringe to her sunglasses because, like, this is our generation’s Woodstock, y’ By Lainey • Jan 21, 2013 10:32 am
Girls Small Moments of Pride Girls Season 2 Episode 2 recap It is understating the case by a lot to say I’ve never been a gusher about Girls, but I find it’s easiest for me to stomach if I think of it from a nostalgia point of view. Honestly. I’ve decided it’ By Duana • Jan 21, 2013 10:22 am
