Movie Reviews and Previews The adult movie renaissance Written by Sarah No, this isn’t about porn. Sadly…? We’re actually here to talk about the resurgence of adult-oriented movies at the box office. Once again, all numbers are US domestic. It started last year when limited-release arthouse films Black Swan and The King’s Speech gained some By Lainey • May 31, 2011 03:20 am
Sports More Spanish PDA In yesterday’s post about Shaki – click here if you missed – I noted that I never mind when the Spaniards go full PDA, although it’s gross and offensive when people try it over here in North America. That reminded me of a video I’ve been meaning to post By Lainey • May 31, 2011 03:13 am
Intro for May 31, 2011 Dear Gossips, Welcome back to those of you returning from long weekend.

Quiveration Shaki has it bad Sunshine has it bad too. They have it bad together. HOT. As you know, Shakira is dating Gerard Pique of FC Barcelona. She calls him her “Sunshine”. Sunshine and the boys of Barcelona defeated Manchester United to win the Champions League on Saturday. Did you watch? Lionel Messi is INSANE. By Lainey • May 30, 2011 09:46 am
Famewhores The Royal Tour in Canada, and Pippa in France Prince William and Catherine are coming to Canada. It’s to be their first tour as a married couple. You know that famous shot of Diana hugging her boys, after not seeing them for a few days, she ran to them on that boat and embraced them enthusiastically? Photo here.

Dumbass What is the objective? Robert Pattinson has been shooting Cosmopolis in Toronto. Fans have been trying to locate him for weeks; I’m told both production and his personal management have gone to great lengths to keep him away from them. Logistics, for example. It’s not so much securing an area for safety, By Lainey • May 30, 2011 08:36 am
Movie Reviews and Previews It WILL be a great soundtrack The last time I wrote about David Fincher’s adaptation for The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo in a post from May 11th, this was the final line of the article: “Lately I’ve been wondering about the soundtrack. Know nothing about it, but for some reason, am really really By Lainey • May 30, 2011 05:49 am
Game of Thrones Two extremes of Game of Thrones Jason Momoa, one of the tallest cast members, if not the tallest, of the Game of Thrones showed up with his girlfriend Lisa Bonet at a fundraiser in Venice, CA a few days ago. The shortest member of the Game of Thrones cast spent the Memorial Day weekend in New By Lainey • May 30, 2011 05:01 am
Hook Ups Blake & Leo: same hotel, holding hands So…they’re both on holiday in Europe, and agree to meet up every weekend? Here’s a recap of the Blake Lively/Leonardo DiCaprio romance intrigue so far: They’re in Cannes together, but she leaves first, and he parties privately at a villa with some young models. Then By Lainey • May 30, 2011 04:36 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Brange: Wedding for Oscar? Forgot to mention that in Cannes, Brad Pitt did a lot more press than usual in support of The Tree of Life. Normally he bangs off a few major, major outlets – CNN and NBC for example – is VERY selective, and doesn’t bother with the junket style situation. This time? By Lainey • May 30, 2011 03:55 am
Quiveration Bradley Cooper’s big weekend in French The Hangover Part 2, despite terrible reviews, was HUGE business at the box office this weekend. Sarah from Cinesnark will have more in depth analysis on the numbers tomorrow. For now, in short, where Bradley Cooper is concerned, that’s two for two. After the success of Limitless, and now By Lainey • May 30, 2011 03:20 am
Quiveration Ron in a word: Hot I have friends, and I won’t out you Michelle, who’ve always had some “I shouldn’t be feeling this way” quiver about Rupert Grint/Ron Weasley. Never seen it myself…until now. Another Harry Potter moment that will make you cry. Steel yourselves. The cast members were asked By Lainey • May 27, 2011 02:13 pm
Dumbass As IF Look, I have, happily, never been arrested, yet, and I don’t know all that many people with that experience and certainly never in Southern California so I have no idea which is why I’m wondering… Do they measure and weigh you when you’re getting booked? Yesterday Lindsay By Lainey • May 27, 2011 07:57 am
BFFs Brad vs George? I LOVE it when Brad Pitt and George Clooney are together in a bro down situation. It’s been a while. George is allergic to commitment and children. So I guess he doesn’t really hang at the Brange compound too much. Still, it would be nice to see them By Lainey • May 27, 2011 07:34 am
Keira Knightley Keira in a comedy, Keira in love I’ve been catching up on my Daily Shows since getting back from Cannes. Finally had the chance to watch Keira Knightley from May 9th. She was promoting Last Night. Jacek and I viewed this particular episode together. And half way through her interview, he decided that he was into By Lainey • May 27, 2011 06:20 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Katniss, Gale, Prim! From North Carolina and the set of The Hunger Games – here are Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, Willow Shields, and author Suzanne Collins continuing production on the film. Good. Because with a March release date, and some work to be done in post, I feel like it may have been getting By Lainey • May 27, 2011 05:47 am
