Movie Reviews and Previews On The Social Network For reference on what’s to follow, click here and all its attendant links, and here as background to the film’s factual liberties. Yeah, it’s a pretty good movie. To me it’s a solid 8 to 8.5 out of 10, max grade. Which is great. In By Lainey • Oct 04, 2010 02:38 am
Intro for Oct 04, 2010 Dear Gossips, Take your best girls and go see Made in Dagenham when it’s released in November. If you’ve ever suffered through a Jennifer Aniston movie at least, do it to balance that sh-t out. And if you’re a working woman, you almost can’t not. It’ By Lainey • Oct 04, 2010 02:03 am
Emma Thompson Emma is Oh? I love this. Deadline reports that Emma Thompson will join Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones in Men in Black 3 as a character called “Oh”, the head of MIB. Kinda like M in Bond? Amazing, right? She’ll be amazing. As she always is. Filming on MIB3 is expected By Lainey • Oct 01, 2010 11:15 am
Parent Pimps Oh no, she’s an exception Of course she is. Miley Cyrus hit up the club last night in Hollywood. She went to Voyeur, then a house party. Sounds like a familiar path. What’s the drinking age in California again? 21 right? Miley doesn’t turn 18 until next month. But that doesn’t matter. By Lainey • Oct 01, 2010 08:01 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Xavier & Mystique Look! Fresh! In Oxford today on the set of X-Men: First Class – it’s James McAvoy (Charles Xavier) and Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique) shooting in the rain.

Josh Duhamel Rehabbing Katherine Heigl Life As We Know It opens next week. And she needs it to be a hit. Because Killers was far, far from a hit. Killers was also crucified by critics. So she’s on the sell right now, and she needs to convince people that she’s not really an By Lainey • Oct 01, 2010 06:07 am
Aaron Johnson Missed my obsession I was in Toronto for TIFF until September 18, away from home for 2 weeks. I was ready to go home. But 5 days later, Sam Taylor-Wood and Aaron Johnson were expected in town to promote Nowhere Boy. I wasn’t about to stay, but it did suck hard that By Lainey • Oct 01, 2010 05:10 am
Brad Pitt Brad Pitt well lit Nothing is more important to an actor, male or female. I’ve learned a lot about lighting since working in television. I’ve learned how much it means to people who appear on television. I’ve learned how much those who appear on television know about lighting. Oh you think By Lainey • Oct 01, 2010 04:29 am
Jon Hamm For Mia as promised From shouts... Jon Hamm and Elisabeth Moss were in Germany yesterday promoting Mad Men. How will they explain Peggy’s thinnification next season? That’s not the same girl. As for Jon, it was confirmed yesterday that he’ll next be working on Friends With Kids written by his rock By Lainey • Oct 01, 2010 03:52 am
Reese Witherspoon Tom Hardy and a toothpick So he winked at you several times did he? Well be careful then if you have work to do. Like Ryan Gosling, Tom Hardy can be terribly, terribly distracting. Even with a toothpick in his mouth. It’s an underappreciated art, the way a guy holds his body. This is By Lainey • Oct 01, 2010 03:25 am
Gorgessity She’s alive! And in floral! I love it. Not joking. I love Katie Holmes’s cute dress today at the Variety 2nd Annual Power of Women Luncheon in Beverly Hills. Suspect Duana loves it too. It’s totally her thing – print, vintage-y, original... Might even be my favourite thing that Katie’s ever worn. She By Lainey • Sep 30, 2010 10:57 am
Hook Ups Dating up Adrien Brody showed up at the screening for The Social Network on his own last night, still kinda douchey and smarmy, but not cranked up to his douche and smarm full potential. A few evenings earlier, in Los Angeles, the girl who let his cheese out and encouraged it to By Lainey • Sep 30, 2010 10:42 am
Girlcrushes Tina’s book on the other hand... Tina Fey signed a book deal 2 years ago. Worth millions. She’s a proper writer, after all. And what I love about this is that her book isn’t ready yet. Unlike these other “authors” who whip their sh-t off in 3 months, Tina’s might not be ready By Lainey • Sep 30, 2010 08:15 am
Dumbass More celebrity literature We were treated to Nicole Richie’s latest masterpiece yesterday – click here for a refresher –and of course you know that that Snooki troll has signed a book deal, and now, via Just Jared I just had the great pleasure of reading an excerpt from Hilary Duff’s upcoming novel.

Teen Read Awards and a note from JK herself Written by Duana I had the great fortune last weekend of attending the Teen Read Awards here in Toronto. Great fortune except inasmuch as I had to rein in my envy that there were no Teen Read Awards when I was a teenager. Not that I’m bitter about hiding By Lainey • Sep 30, 2010 06:07 am
Ebola Victims Ebola’s Beat-Me-Face Soul Mate Ebola Paris Hilton was out last night in LA for a photo opp with her man. Apparently it’s working on a new reality tv show with Oxygen. Tori Spelling is on Oxygen too, non? Dumb network. Especially if it wants to sign Ebola. Because you know about Ebola. You By Lainey • Sep 30, 2010 05:32 am
