Quiveration Ryan ambush He ambushed me this morning. Totally killed my morning. As noted yesterday, I try to stay away from Ryan Gosling when I need to con-cen-trate.

Ebola Victims Kristen Stewart rejects Ebola Victim Two years ago at Sundance Jared Leto not only allowed himself to become infected by Hollywood Ebola Paris Hilton, he also allowed himself to be photographed doing so.

Chinese Squawking Chicken Now that’s a coat It’s Burberry, of course it is. The new Burberry is not for my mother. She has a lot to say about this. She’s has two Burberry trenchcoats, a navy long one that’s 20 years old, and a shorter khaki about 15 years old, both in perfect condition. By Lainey • Jan 25, 2010 11:30 am
Ryan Gosling Can’t look too long I have been very productive today. Over 20 articles posted, 6,000 words, a few more items to cover...so I’ve avoided looking at photos of Ryan Gosling at Sundance. Because I can’t. I cannot physically hold my sh-t together if I spend too much time with him. By Lainey • Jan 25, 2010 09:42 am

Break Ups Drilling for Brange As I noted on Twitter yesterday, the tabloid approach to a potential Brange split is like drilling for oil. They keep at it. Because if they do manage to find a new pool, it’s a limitless resource that will keep selling and selling and selling and selling. There are By Lainey • Jan 25, 2010 04:46 am
