Claire Danes What to wear to paint Claire Danes hosted the launch of Valspar’s new Hi-Def Paint today at Vanderbilt Hall at Grand Central today in New York. Um... paint? Well, it’s slow. You do what you need to do until you win an Emmy and a Golden Globe for Temple Grandin and hope that By Lainey • Aug 17, 2010 06:53 am
Movie Reviews and Previews On Eat, Pray, Love It was an audience full of Oprah. It was over two excruciating hours. It was a lot of Julia Roberts charm and sparkle. But not even she could make it work. I still find her irresistibly watchable. She lights it up like few others. She overpowers you with her... Julia By Lainey • Aug 17, 2010 06:32 am

Break Ups More quivering Jakey & Reese during the holidays Their films will be released a month apart but both during the award season and both with some mild award buzz... What? We’re adults here.

Bad Style She came from Hilary Duff’s wedding Is that why Jennifer Aniston wore a bridesmaid dress to The Switch premiere last night? I don’t care if it’s Lanvin. The way she’s wearing it she’s holding a bouquet and standing 3 girls from the bride. Especially with those shoes. Said it before, will say By Lainey • Aug 17, 2010 04:04 am
Quiveration Jakey two for two Second day in a row this week we’ve kicked it off with Jakey G. Seems unlikely that this streak will continue so we’ll ride it while we can. And Jakey has a new ride too. He went out for lunch yesterday in LA and parked his new bike By Lainey • Aug 17, 2010 03:32 am
BFFs Dressing for dinner...but not like Posh There was a double date that happened last night in London – RDJ and his wife with Jude Law and Sienna Miller. Jude, as you can see, was dressed for it. But not like Victoria Beckham. No one dresses for dinner to blind all other diners like Victoria Beckham. Not even By Lainey • Aug 16, 2010 10:48 am
Gorgessity Salt fringe in London UK premiere tonight. No Brad, just a half Brange on the carpet looking slightly waxy in the face but so beautiful it’s stupid, even under that fringe.

Who? She’s a young actress By Lainey • Aug 16, 2010 08:44 am
Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone Madonna, Sean, and Elvis I always wished Madonna’s birthday was not on August 16. Because August 16 is when Elvis died. It seemed like bad luck to me. I’ve mentioned my Elvis obsession when I was younger, right? One of the details that always upset me was how heavy his coffin was. By Lainey • Aug 16, 2010 07:13 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Script security = bad movies Written by Sarah Look, I get it. Stuff leaks on the internet all the time. It’s a real problem for Hollywood. How do you build hype for a project when anyone can sign onto IMDB and download a copy of the script? Technology provides an ease of access never By Lainey • Aug 16, 2010 06:35 am
Dumbass Angelina Jolie/Marilyn Monroe Elizabeth Taylor does not want anyone playing her in a movie about her life in Furious Love despite all those dumbass rumours that the Jolie would be taking on the role. But what about Marilyn Monroe? Andrew O’Hagan wrote a book about Marilyn’s dog Maf, The Life And By Lainey • Aug 16, 2010 04:49 am
Mark Wahlberg Does he bring his own clubs? I played two rounds back to back this weekend. Jacek played three rounds, and 36 consecutive holes yesterday. Am currently golf obsessed. It becomes more addictive when you start putting shots together. 97 is my new PB after breaking my old record on Saturday and I’m now totally jacked By Lainey • Aug 16, 2010 04:16 am
