Bitch please Lights, Camera, Pretention! Sometimes when I’m in mixed company and people ask what I do, I get some flack for being an entertainment writer. Usually it’s from men, and it’s always a bit of a condescending take: entertainment news is shallow, it’s silly to like gossip, tabloids are for By Maria • Feb 06, 2015 01:04 pm
Bitch please Is James Franco corrupting art? There’s a new James Franco exhibit at Pace Gallery in New York. It’s a big deal to be at Pace. Which, I suppose, means that your sh-t has to be good.

Bitch please The blow-jobbiest article ever An article showed up on PEOPLE.com yesterday. They interviewed Amber Heard’s first agent from back in Texas. Needless to say, he happily obliged with the most dicksucky quotes ever. You ready? "Very early Amber understood beauty only opens the door of opportunity.

Bitch please Aloof AND Self-possessed There’s a new Rooney Mara profile in the NYT Times magazine. She doesn’t call herself aloof this time. No, she doesn’t.

Bitch please James Franco on a plane Have you seen Spring Breakers yet? I put it on my iPad for my flight from Vancouver to Toronto the other day. Not really the best idea. Watching it on one of the plane’s personal seat viewers is one thing. But viewing it from your iPad, with much better By Lainey • Jul 24, 2013 03:01 pm
Douchebags Why don’t you make it more obvious? Here’s what I wrote in the intro to the site last Thursday: “...curiously enough, the prom king hasn’t been seen with his kids since Sunday. Coincidence or conspiracy? Maybe he’ll emerge on the weekend out of obligation, just so it won’t seem so obvious.” For weeks By Lainey • Mar 04, 2013 11:54 am
Bitch please Posh Benedict I’m a celebrity realist, which means that for me, it’s not so much about pretending away a celebrity’s bad habit, but asking whether or not whatever peccadillo they’ve got is a deal breaker, or something that I’m going to be able to ignore for the By Sarah • Aug 16, 2012 11:29 am
Famewhores Anne Hathaway’s short hair I wonder if they tried wigging it at all. If they camera tested a few wigs and decided in the end that the wigs just weren’t working before encouraging Annie to cut it all off. Or was it all Annie herself from the very beginning out of artistic commitment? By Lainey • Apr 09, 2012 11:20 am
Bitch please JLo: Glamour Woman of the Year She was there last night to receive her honour. And she’s on the current cover of the magazine being interviewed by Jane Fonda.

Douchebags Justin ... “Not” That’ll make sense for you in a minute. Let me set the scene: Last night, as we do when we’re covering these festivals and conventions, we get together at the end of the night for some drinks before we hit the party. We compare stories – how was your By Lainey • Jul 22, 2011 04:39 am

Douchebags Justin is cerebral But first, straight up, he and Mila Kunis look super hot here on the cover and inside of ELLE. Like really, really great together which...maybe that was Jessica Biel's problem. Or definitely. If Mila wanted a piece of that, would he be spending time in Toronto re-attaching By Lainey • Jul 07, 2011 06:51 am
Bitch please Jesse reads but doesn’t pose A lot of you developed a boner for Jesse Eisenberg this year after The Social Network and awards season and were sad and worried to see that come to an end because, Jesse being Jesse, he would recede from the public eye. Jesse makes it a point not to draw By Lainey • Mar 10, 2011 03:06 am
Bitch please Something I was saving… I don’t post about Michelle Trachtenberg much. Because, obviously. Or maybe not. Maxim just put her on its cover. Total bitch move but I’ll just come right out and say it – we’re talking about a supporting role tv girl here, aren’t we? Sure, I get it. By Lainey • Feb 17, 2011 04:36 am
Girly Throw Downs Rubber suit How else would you describe it? This is Lady Gaga at Good Morning America today arriving in typical crazy ass fashion, wearing a rubber suit, like literally a suit, with nipple tape and, by her standards, a rather ordinary hat. Yesterday, while out and about, she was almost conservative, in By Lainey • Feb 17, 2011 03:00 am
