Brad Pitt The Guest List is all that matters This should be the motto of the Golden Globes. And if you’re here for the Gossip, that certainly works in your favour. Big ups to Kristen Wiig.

Intro for December 15, 2011 Dear Gossips, Well, there was no glaring “The Tourist” moment when the Golden Globe nominations were announced this morning. But that doesn’t mean the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, like I said yesterday, didn’t prioritise the Brange. I wonder if that’s tops the agenda of their selection committee: By Lainey • Dec 15, 2011 10:23 am
Clint Eastwood Nepotism Reality TV - where are you Daniel Craig? Francesca Eastwood is the daughter of Clint Eastwood and his ex-wife Frances Fisher. She is 18. She wants to be an actress.

Best and Worst of 2011 Best of 2011: Hot Harry cuddles the dog Hot Harry is so hot to me that sometimes, when he’s being extra hot, like over and above his standard hot, I let out a gross pervy groan.

Best and Worst of 2011 Worst of 2011: Melissa Leo’s Oscar ads I interviewed Melissa Leo like 2 hours after she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress Oscar. She was really, really lovely.

Royals Prison Bride, Dork Prince, and Giant Santa You know when someone super nerdy stands next to something super nerdy the nerdy-ness of the two combined more than doubles?

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Great dress, Wrong Boots Leelee Sobieski freaks me out. She doesn’t age! And not in a “she’s aging really well” way, but in a straight up NO AGING way. Also, how is she only 29 years old? I feel like Leelee Sobieski has been around forever. What was that movie she did By Lainey • Dec 14, 2011 04:24 pm
Blind Riddles Cash Only SO easy. Who was paid $15,000 in cash this week in exchange for frolicking around in her bikini on the beach? That’s a lot of cash money for you and me, true. But for them? It’s change. It’s really, really not much. In that world, it’ By Lainey • Dec 14, 2011 03:58 pm
Girly Throw Downs HAS HE RUINED EVERYTHING??? Sarah just messaged me about this video... It’s the best sh-t EVER. Family sh-t! What’s the most, most, MOST important thing in Jessica Biel’s life?
