Movie Reviews and Previews Tom’s new co-star fits the description Tom Cruise was out in London last night just as it was announced that they’ve cast the female lead in Mission: Impossible 5. Her name is Rebecca Ferguson. She’s a Swedish actress, 30 years old, was nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance in The White Queen By Lainey • Jul 10, 2014 10:46 am
Media Manipulation No Photos Please (but Likes are Welcome) It’s been almost a month since Alec Baldwin “retired” from public life (click here for a refresher), so you knew he was going to pop up again soon. He can’t help himself. It’s part of his deranged charm. This week, Baldwin’s wife Hilaria posted a photo By Maria • Mar 20, 2014 10:24 am
Alec Baldwin Intro for February 25, 2014 Dear Gossips, I’d no time to waste yesterday on Alec Baldwin’s 5,000 word PLUS – PLUS! – so called verbal essay in New York Magazine until last night before bed. All that exposition and, really, he could have saved himself the trouble with one word, repeated over and over By Lainey • Feb 25, 2014 09:28 am
Alec Baldwin Alec Is Mad About Something (or Other)…again I officially have Alec Baldwin ennui. Usually I am highly entertained by his antics (and he’s been in this raging paparazzi cycle before). The narrative is pretty much set -- once he’s baited by a photographer, a slew of creative and vulgar insults fly (“You’re as dumb By Maria • Nov 18, 2013 11:30 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Alec plays nice with PEOPLE I feel like Kanye West and Alec Baldwin are celebrity best friends. They seem to have a similar attitude when it comes to attention: “Take my picture and I’ll freak but please for the love of God take my picture.” While Kanye complains about fame and has a baby By Maria • Sep 05, 2013 11:30 am
Douchebags Alec Baldwin Quits Twitter, Maybe Acting? Alec Baldwin quit Twitter again. He wants to quit acting too. Does that make you want to quit Alec Baldwin? This story started, weirdly, at James Gandolfini's funeral, where Hilaria, Baldwin’s wife, was accused by The Daily Mail of tweeting during the service which was subsequently proven By Dean • Jul 03, 2013 01:01 pm
Shia LaBeouf In the shadow of Shia We need more Shia LaBeouf in our lives right now. When Shia’s around (gossip), it’s always a good time. When Shia and Alec Baldwin are both around, we will be happy. The New York Times interviewed the cast -- Baldwin, Ben Foster, Tom Sturridge -- of Orphans recently. By Lainey • Apr 10, 2013 03:04 pm
Good for Gossip Front Row Shia You know what’s Good For Gossip? Shia LaBeouf. Hormonal Shia LaBeouf. Are his moods in line with the moon? Whatever. The watching is fun. He’s giving us a lot of fun. As you know, Shia was supposed to be on Broadway in Orphans. Then he quit over creative By Lainey • Mar 28, 2013 02:27 pm
Girly Throw Downs Boy/Man Sh-t is also the Best Sh-t Girl Sh-t Is The Best Sh-t is a common phrase we use here at LaineyGossip and one I stole from my friend Lara. It really is. But Boy Sh-t is pretty great too. Previous examples of Boy Sh-t include Joseph Gordon-Levitt vs Michael Cera (click here for a refresher), Michael By Lainey • Mar 06, 2013 02:52 pm
Douchebags Shia, the sharer It was reported yesterday that Shia LaBeouf had left the Broadway production of Orphans starring Tom Sturridge and Alec Baldwin. Shia and Alec? Those two hotheads? In hindsight, of course it was impossible, disastrous even. But it may have been more than just the two of them yelling at each By Lainey • Feb 21, 2013 09:39 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Rude, Thoughtless Little Pig Jr. It hasn’t even been a week and I already desperately miss Jack Donaghy. “Good God, I can see every line and pore in your face. It looks like a YMCA climbing wall.” And while Tina Fey and the writers were the creative genius behind his acerbic, WASPy insults, the By Maria • Feb 13, 2013 01:15 pm
Amazingness Without Irony I don’t think we can talk about this until you’ve seen it. So here, please watch. The new Rock of Ages trailer. I’ll wait for you on the other side. If you’re looking for someone to snark on it, you’ll have to click away. I By Lainey • Dec 13, 2011 04:41 pm
Amazingness The Emmy Awards 2011 So Alec Baldwin was supposed to appear in the opening video. Baldwin made a joke about News Corp and the phone hacking business. The bit was subsequently cut. As such, he decided not to be part of it at all which is why Leonard Nimoy ended up playing the president. By Lainey • Sep 19, 2011 01:51 am
Oscars 2010 Oscars 2010 & Jimmy Kimmell for 2011? It may be an unpopular sentiment but Steven Martin and Alec Baldwin worked for me. We laughed heartily in the press room. But they couldn’t save a show that was too long, poorly directed, and terribly produced. Enjoyed the 5 actor tribute to the Best Actor and Actress categories, By Lainey • Mar 08, 2010 12:11 am
Girlcrushes Hearing Meryl Streep After my post on An Evening With Meryl Streep at the ROM many of you asked if there was video. This was the interview with Johanna Schneller during which Streep offered many, many memorable insights including the one about being “capable”. Her mother told her she was CAPABLE.
