Book Review Megan Fox, The Hunger Games, and where to eat Last Wednesday, the night I ate those bad clams and almost lost the will to live, I was out for dinner with someone who lives in LA who was telling a story about eating at the Cheesecake Factory and I was like –there’s food at the Cheesecake Factory?

Book Review On Furious Love Celebrity book excerpts are often the best parts of the book so that when you actually sit down to read the book, you find that you’ve already read the only parts worth reading. I worried that this would be the case with Furious Love: Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, and By Lainey • Aug 08, 2010 11:15 am
Book Review They could be in West Egg Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson were on the set of Water for Elephants yesterday and appeared to be shooting a fancy party scene which could be a fancy party scene from The Great Gatsby, and not only because of the era. Reese has long been spoken of as a possible By Lainey • Aug 08, 2010 11:09 am
Book Review Saoirse in green and as Katniss? Acclaimed young actress Saoirse Ronan attended the Irish premiere of Shrek yesterday in a pair of steezy pink chucks with a blazer, topped off with light green Ray-Bans which obviously I love because I have them too. (Photo attached from Barbados) Saoirse, now 16, is always at the top of By Lainey • Aug 08, 2010 11:03 am
Book Review Mads & Lisbeth This is for you, you know who you are, and you keep asking me about Mads Mikkelsen and why he doesn’t get enough love so here he is, last night at the gala for La princesse de Montpensier with Barthelemy Grossmann, and none other than Noomi Rapace.

Book Review Dumbest idea ever Last year those UK tabloids kept reporting that Johnny Depp had been confirmed as The Riddler in the new Batman movie. At the time there wasn’t even a script ready for the new Batman movie. Needless to say the story was full of sh-t. As is this one. The By Lainey • Aug 04, 2010 07:57 am
Book Review Emma, Dexter and my Summer Book List It’s Emma Morley and Dexter Mayhew. And it really, really is, non?

And Annie’s clothes, the way By Lainey • Aug 02, 2010 04:39 am
Book Review Going in Circles Posted by Duana So last night I sent out an all-call to my friends. You know the type, where you kind of feel whiny and precious and you don't know what you want them to do, exactly, but somehow someone sending you a hairstylist recommendation makes you feel By Lainey • Apr 22, 2010 08:55 am
Book Review The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo I don’t read much in the mystery/thriller genre. But Fiona, one of my best friends, is all over it. And she was really into Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy a couple of years ago. Then our other friend Heidi, who was pregnant at the time, read the first By Lainey • Mar 25, 2010 05:07 am
Book Review GOOPy’s summer book list No chicken, no video, but books! GOOPy’s back to books! And it’s not a bad list either. Once again, Gwyneth Paltrow solicited reading recommendations from her well connected friends – when she casually throws down their credentials it’s better than namedropping – in preparation for what she calls some By Lainey • Jul 30, 2009 03:42 am
Book Review The Outcast F-ck these first book bitches! Like Zadie Smith, Nigel Shriver, Diana Evans, and Aryn Kyle before her, Sadie Jones has delivered a debut that makes a jealous bitch like me cry out at the unfairness of it. SO unfair. Why couldn’t they have started slowly, with one or two By Lainey • May 08, 2009 03:09 am

Book Review Girls Like Us My parents were immigrants. Their Western musical knowledge when they arrived in Canada was limited to the Beatles, Doris Day, and Elvis. Eventually my dad discovered Simon & Garfunkel and he karaoked Bridge Over Troubled Water (don’t you laugh!) at my wedding. So I did not grow up in By Lainey • Dec 17, 2008 08:40 am
Book Review Bonk: the curious coupling of science and sex Did you know that Alfred Kinsey once shoved a toothbrush inside his pee hole while investigating erogenous zones? I relayed this to my husband one night and he actually went to put on his jock strap. How about the fact that the final spurt from a man’s ejaculate is By Lainey • Dec 17, 2008 08:35 am
Book Review Twilight Series: Breaking Dawn RENESMEE? RENESMEE??????????? Ugh. Ugh. And because two ughs are not enough, here’s one more: Ugh.
