Movie Reviews and Previews Sigh of relief: it doesn’t suck I was worried for James McAvoy after the trailer and the sh-tty posters came out for X-Men: First Class that the origin film would suck. Because I love him. I want him to be good. I want for his projects to be good. And it wasn’t just me. Those By Lainey • May 24, 2011 04:45 am
Maple Leaf Young lovers sucking in together Our puppy Barney, now 5 months, tries to sneak up onto our bed every night by jumping on my head. This, evidently, in his mind, qualifies as a stealth entry. This morning, 3:30am, his paw landed hard on my face, nearly took out my eye. My alarm was already By Lainey • May 24, 2011 04:16 am
Royals Catherine & The First Lady President Obama and his wife Michelle are touring the UK. They cruised by Buckingham Palace today for a visit with newlyweds William and Kate, just returned from a 10 day honeymoon in the Seychelles where, amazingly, no one was able to get a photograph. Well done. “The Duchess”, as you By Lainey • May 24, 2011 03:32 am

Bad Style Sweaty singing and dancing Remember for a while there Katie Holmes tried to convince us she was a dancer? And she trained for hours upon hours over a span of weeks and weeks and then she “performed” on So You Think You Can Dance and we were like… that’s it? Well, Tom is By Lainey • May 24, 2011 02:42 am
Maple Leaf Ryan Gosling & a man’s suit I learned a lot of about men’s suits yesterday. We’re going to a really swanky wedding tonight and Jacek didn’t have one. He’s not the sharpest dresser, as you know, to begin with. And since he works from home, there’s very little reason for him By Lainey • May 20, 2011 10:24 am
Bad Style Hugh has a pants problem I don’t think I’ve ever known Hugh Jackman to have a pants problem. This might be the first time I’ve seen him with a pants problem. It’s not the most egregious pants problem ever. It’s not as bad as a Jonas or anything. But still… By Lainey • May 20, 2011 07:11 am
BFFs No one was hurt So … this happened last night at AMFAR: Kanye West and Naomi Campbell on stage together, presenting together. There was no dramatic interruption. There were no cell phones thrown. No one was offended. No one was removed from the situation. And later on, the two of them even posed with Boy By Lainey • May 20, 2011 06:30 am

BFFs Katie’s new BFF? I wonder if she’d be allowed. Katie Holmes was in Chicago earlier this week at that Oprah send-off show at the United Centre. At the event, Katie presented on stage with Queen Latifah and Halle Berry. Look at the way her legs are bent back. I am fascinated. Anyway, By Lainey • May 20, 2011 05:54 am
Thinnification Janet is thin again It’s a cycle every two years or so. Janet Jackson goes militant and loses a lot of weight and takes her top off for the cover of some magazine, and then a year later, she’s covered up in sweats not wanting to be photographed. Don’t sh-t on By Lainey • May 20, 2011 05:02 am
Bad Style Scarlett’s boyfriend's Canadian tuxedo Sean Penn is killing it in Cannes today. Check him out working denim on denim, posing with some hip-jutting attitude at the photo call for This Must Be The Place. He plays Cheyenne, an aging goth rocker looking for the Nazi who tortured his dad. I want you to watch By Lainey • May 20, 2011 04:35 am
The Hunger Games Lawrence on Letterman Jennifer Lawrence appeared on Letterman last night. It was a great interview. 20 years old and she laid down an awesome interview on Letterman that earned her a kiss on the hand. Well done. She’s poised but she’s not, like, overly produced and automatic. She’s not Taylor By Lainey • May 20, 2011 04:03 am
Coincidence or conspiracy Pippy & Gaga Saturday night Not gonna lie. Am pretty excited for Saturday Night Live tomorrow, the season finale with host Justin Timberlake and musical guest Lady Gaga.

Style Bright lips take a break for AMFAR The AMFAR gala is happening tonight in Cannes. We usually always cover this event but this year, we were only staying a week at the festival and, fortunately – or unfortunately if my etalk boss is reading, ha! – this time our trip didn’t include this party. I say that selfishly By Lainey • May 19, 2011 09:27 am
Lifestyle Dressing your sister, summer flats Written bySasha My sister asked me AGAIN today what to do about "good" jeans. She asks me this question at least once a week. She needs more options and an update. She is a young 42!, not overly trendy, but always looks well put-together. She needs to move By Sasha • May 19, 2011 09:08 am
