Intro for December 28, 2011 Dear Gossips, Gwyneth Paltrow’s Vogue cover in 2008 was the magazine’s worst selling in many years. It was a headline people were very, very quick to celebrate. That’s how it is with Gwyneth though. We love to make big news of her shortcomings and totally ignore the By Lainey • Dec 28, 2011 07:26 am
BFFs Friends on holiday Emily Blunt and John Krasinski were spotted with Jimmy Kimmel and his girlfriend Molly at LAX. They were all getting on the same flight. Can we assume then that they’re off on holiday for New Year’s? At one point, accordingly to the photographer, all of them hit up By Lainey • Dec 27, 2011 01:42 pm
Penn Badgley A Fassy-free ass I totally get Zoe Kravitz’s appeal. There’s a sullen pouty mystique about her, even more pronounced in person, that many people find very sexy, including Michael Fassbender, with whom she ended a year long relationship just recently ...so as to free herself for Penn Badgley...? Zoe and Penn By Lainey • Dec 27, 2011 01:19 pm
Hook Ups Leo picks another from the catalogue Here’s Leonardo DiCaprio with Erin Heatherton. She is - what else? - a Victoria’s Secret model. Erin was previously seen with Leo in Sydney a couple of weeks ago. These photographs were taken in LA, implying that, since their hook-up has traversed multiple cities, Leo’s situation with By Lainey • Dec 27, 2011 12:40 pm
Maple Leaf Blake & Ryan’s first Christmas As I first reported last week - click here for a refresher - Blake Lively accompanied Ryan Reynolds home to Vancouver to spend time with his family and I wondered whether or not she’d be able to engineer a photo opportunity with her favourite photo agency while she was By Lainey • Dec 27, 2011 11:36 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Channing Tatum is really growing on me And it feels really bizarre to say that. (Lainey: Please note this article was written by Sarah.) It all started with a radio interview with him and Jamie Bell during promotion for that Eagle movie they made. I listened and found myself thinking, You know, Channing Tatum isn't By Sarah • Dec 27, 2011 10:39 am
Bono Intro for December 27, 2011 Dear Gossips, Many thanks to the major players for their Christmas kindness - no eloping, no divorcing, no adopting, no getting caught cheating, no super scandal to interrupt the long holiday weekend giving the gossip business an extended break. Is Matthew McConaughey considered a Major Player anymore? Was he ever? By Lainey • Dec 27, 2011 10:25 am
Royals Catherine Cambridge’s First Christmas Senior royals traditionally spend Christmas at Sandringham. Despite the worrying news that 90 year old Prince Philip was recovering from heart surgery, a crowd of thousands, the biggest it’s been in recent years, greeted Her Majesty’s Family on their walk to church on Sunday, Catherine’s first time.

Smutty Surgery Tom’s beauty routine I don’t like the word “regimen”. I think because it’s often confused with “regiment” and I hate when people sound dumb. Like when they add a “d” in “whirlwind” and make it “worldwind”. Britney used to do this all the time. And Justin Timberlake too, until he started By Lainey • Dec 23, 2011 11:20 am
Hook Ups New girl to end the year When the year began, Ryan Phillippe was dating Amanda Seyfried. OMG, remember that? By summertime it was over and in July it was reported that he’d hooked up with Demi Lovato. At the time he was 36, she 18. Sounds about right where he’s concerned. According to E!

Media Manipulation Who decided to drop a trailer after Batman? There’s a marketing misstep if ever I saw one. Summer 2012 is stacked with high-profile franchise releases including The Dark Knight Rises, The Amazing Spider-Man, and one of the more mysterious entries, Ridley Scott’s Prometheus. Set in the same universe as Scott’s classic Alien, it’s a By Sarah • Dec 23, 2011 10:42 am

Rooney Mara Managing “Aloof” behind the scenes I could never be a publicist or a personal assistant for a celebrity. It’s not the hard work I’m afraid of; it’s the adult babysitting. They are SO fragile and insecure and narcissistic, it’s an exhausting experience. And, frankly, it can be really, really sad. I’ By Lainey • Dec 22, 2011 12:37 pm
