Intro for December 20, 2011 Dear Gossips, There’s an awesome annual Christmas tradition that goes down at my friend Lorella’s. A very important title is at stake: Best Gingerbread House. It’s a live competition - the gingerbread houses are created at the same time in the same place over the course of an By Lainey • Dec 20, 2011 11:32 am
Royals Royal Black Velvet I was ridiculously happy to see these photos released. Like, in a way that suggests I may have a problem. It’s just… I mean they’re three of my favourite subjects. And here they are, together, all of them, at a ball. Come on! It’s Christmas! Check out By Lainey • Dec 19, 2011 05:18 pm
Girly Throw Downs Please let there be a pap-off Katie Holmes may be younger than Nicole Kidman, and I was about to write “infinitely more expressive” seeing as Katie hasn’t turned her face into a tundra, but then I realised, even though Katie hasn’t frozen her forehead, there is, like her predecessor, really not all that much By Lainey • Dec 19, 2011 04:29 pm
Lifestyle Sasha Answers: My Critical Husband Sasha, I got pregnant 6 months after dating my boyfriend. I was 21 at the time and he was 23. We stuck through together, and 3 years later got married and had another baby. I'm now in my late twenties. I love my husband, but I feel no By Sasha • Dec 19, 2011 02:38 pm
Lifestyle Sasha Answers: A Selfish Sister Dear Sasha, My parents are not good role models for a happy marriage and should have been divorced a long time ago. I can safely say all my bad choices in the romance department stem from this and I have trust issues where I can shut down emotionally and block By Sasha • Dec 19, 2011 02:27 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Get out of the way You build for the summer at Christmas. Which is why the studios have been rolling out trailers for all their summer blockbusters. Today, the big one arrived: The Dark Knight Rises. I don’t think Michael Caine could have delivered that line with any more emotion. Right off the top By Lainey • Dec 19, 2011 01:58 pm
Dumbass Holiday slumming…at the jewellery store Like I said in today’s open: Beyonce is not Jennifer Lopez. Beyonce knows. Beyonce respects her own stature. And Jay-Z his. What is the point of getting to be B and J only to run around with a back-up dancer? So here’s JLo with Casper Smart By Lainey • Dec 19, 2011 01:52 pm
Amazingness Let it snow…for Mimi! Mimi says Happy Christmas with a new video! This is what I’m saying about this time of year. Mimi delights me in February. But she really, REALLY delights me in December. Is this her LA house? OMG. We open on a huge photograph of what appears to be Mimi By Lainey • Dec 19, 2011 01:09 pm
Maple Leaf Buble and a strong SNL It was the strongest Saturday Night Live this season with Jimmy Fallon hosting. Tina! Amy! Tracy’s signature Christmas move! And the ice skating at the end. WILL ARNETT WAS THERE! So much happiness! My favourite sketch was Beethoven, although it may have been a minute too long. And how By Lainey • Dec 19, 2011 12:49 pm
Bad Style Robo’s Birthday Jumpsuit I say this every year - Katie Holmes and Brad Pitt share a birthday. One of the many reasons why western astrology, to me anyway, lacks credibility. Katie spent her birthday with Little and Littler Sci in New York in a birthday jumpsuit. On Charlize Theron, or Rihanna? Totally? The problem By Lainey • Dec 19, 2011 12:31 pm
Royals Prison Bride’s Chistmas present This is Monaco’s Prince Albert participating in the traditional Christmas bath yesterday in, I guess?, royal swimwear? And a blue bathrobe. Just in case you were wondering what Charlene of Serenity goes to bed with every night. Speaking of Her Highness of Prison, she was allowed to go to By Lainey • Dec 19, 2011 11:58 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Reese Witherspoon: Serious, not sexy Speaking of studying celebrity career moves... Reese Witherspoon is an interesting case. She's popular, not a bad actress, an Oscar winner. Yet the last few years she's eroded a lot of goodwill by making a string of bad movies. Even in this year's Water By Sarah • Dec 19, 2011 11:39 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Extensions for dad It was Brad Pitt’s birthday yesterday. He’s 48 now. How did he celebrate? Well on Saturday he and the Jolie took all 6 of their kids to the Cirque du Soleil Michael Jackson show in Vegas.

Intro for December 19, 2011 Dear Gossips, I came home last night totally jacked from Watch The Throne, the final stop on the tour. And then I turned on the series 3 finale for Misfits and it f-cked me up. Let me give you a day or two to see it, especially for those By Lainey • Dec 19, 2011 10:20 am
Harry Potter Best of 2011: Neville Got Hot The blooming of Neville, or, more accurately, should we say metamorphosis?, was a wonderful distraction from the sadness of The End. Neville got hot! And not just in pictures. In person, Neville was super, super cute. And wore his suit very, very well. I’ve not seen much from Matthew By Lainey • Dec 16, 2011 05:54 pm
Dumbass Finish this list: Daniel Day-Lewis, Cate Blanchett… What comes next? Who do you name? Winslet? Firth? Hanks? Jodie Foster? Would you ever, EVER!!!!!! suggest Scarlett Johansson to round out that series? Daniel Day-Lewis, Cate Blanchett… And SCARLETT JOHANSSON???
