Dumbass “Brutally honest” Oscar ballots reveal that Oscar voters are as dumb as you think In the run-up to the Oscars The Hollywood Reporter has started doing this thing where they get select members of the Academy to fill out their Oscar ballot and explain why they’re voting the way they’re voting.

Dumbass Fifty Shades author wants to whip sequel into submission Whatever we may think of it, Fifty Shades of Grey is an unqualified hit, with $300 million at the worldwide box office and counting.

Dumbass There go Bespoke Cadaver’s Oscar chances After Eddie Redmayne took the SAG award over the weekend, the Best Actor Oscar race is solidly Redmayne vs. Keaton, with Redmayne gaining an edge. That hasn’t stopped Benedict Cumberbatch from campaigning his ass off, but he probably just tanked whatever chance he had at an upset by making By Sarah • Jan 27, 2015 11:48 am
Dumbass Mrs Wahlberg vs the Beliebers One of my favourite Golden Globe moments of all time happened at one of the after-parties in 2011. My etalk colleague Jessi Cruickshank was covering that carpet. And when Mark Wahlberg arrived with his wife, she asked him about Justin Bieber. Which resulted in the most amazing cut-eye bitch-face from By Lainey • Jan 09, 2015 11:34 am
BFFs Johnny & Manson: middle age high school We’re not starting with the People’s Choice Awards today. Today we begin with Marilyn Manson and Johnny Depp, because I’ve just finished reading the Rolling Stone article Meg sent over earlier this week and it’s probably the best celebrity profile of the year, even though the By Lainey • Jan 08, 2015 09:58 am
Douchebags Aaron Sorkin on the gender “degree of difficulty” The alarm went off this morning. I dropped my eyes. I picked up my phone. There was a text from Duana: “Can we just have a weekly column called f-ck off Aaron Sorkin?!?” Then I opened my browser. And there it was. Aaron Sorkin’s latest f-ck off moment, this By Lainey • Dec 16, 2014 11:12 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Ashton the Dadsplainer Between the Sony hack and the Golden Globes nominations (and snubs), it’s been a great week for gossip. So why are we talking about Ashton Kutcher? Oh, right, because he had a baby. Ashton was on Ellen (what was he promoting – the end of his sh-tty ass sexist stupid By Maria • Dec 12, 2014 03:10 pm
Dumbass Diversity in Film: The problem at the top On Friday Rupert Murdoch, elderly white man, took to Twitter to address the whitewashing casting controversy that has surrounded the upcoming movie Exodus: Gods & Guyliner. Christian Bale plays Moses, a Hebrew, Joel Edgerton is the Egyptian pharaoh Ramses, and Sigourney Weaver is their mother, Tuya, also Egyptian. In fact, By Sarah • Dec 01, 2014 11:17 am
Dumbass Dum-dum Ashton Kutcher thinks smear campaigns are fine There’s a story that’s been blowing up in techie circles this week about ridesharing app Uber and its problematic executives targeting journalists who disagree with them. It goes like this: Sarah Lacy, editor in chief of PandoDaily, a Silicon Valley news site she founded, wrote an article about By Sarah • Nov 20, 2014 10:14 am
Dumbass Katy Perry is still an idiot Katy Perry donated $10,000 to a school in Australia for her This Is How We Do school competition in Australia. I like the song, in spite of myself. But…have you ever listened to the lyrics? I’m not sure if this is the song you want representing youth By Lainey • Nov 17, 2014 12:46 pm
Assy Style Johnny Depp is the fool I’m sure by now you’ve heard about Johnny Depp’s behaviour on stage at the Hollywood Film Awards. They should thank him for acting the fool during the show. Because that was the only moment worth talking about. It became a social media moment too as everyone started By Lainey • Nov 17, 2014 08:53 am
Dumbass Taylor Swift + Lorde vs Katy Perry You know the bad blood between Taylor Swift and Katy Perry, right? Taylor even wrote a song about it. Girl Sh-t Is The Best Sh-t, but some Girl Sh-t is embarrassing…because, God, this is over John Mayer. What a waste. Katy is now dating Diplo. And yesterday, Diplo, seemingly By Lainey • Nov 13, 2014 12:30 pm
Dumbass Star Wars has a stupid title There’s an epidemic in Hollywood, a rash spreading through production offices like a bad case of pink eye, and it’s the trend of dumb subtitles given to franchise pictures. My #1 stupid title punching bag is Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, which I call Superhero Face Punch By Sarah • Nov 06, 2014 01:59 pm
Dumbass “I’m not a Feminist, but…” Lainey sent me the Billboard article about Meghan Trainor because she likes to see me rage. HEADLINE: “I don’t consider myself a feminist” CONTEXTUAL QUOTE: "I don't consider myself a feminist, but I'm down for my first opportunity to say something to the world By Duana • Sep 23, 2014 12:05 pm
Douchebags Drama anywhere, any time This is why I keep comparing Justin Bieber to Lindsay Lohan. Because it's ALWAYS something. It's always chaos. There's always drama. And it's never their fault. JB went home to Stratford, ON for Labour Day long weekend. He had Selena Gomez with By Lainey • Sep 02, 2014 01:07 pm
Sit DOWN Daddy Dearest For the last two years Beyoncé has owned our hearts and minds – for me, Life Is But A Dream marked a real turning point in the marketing of Queen B, but as far back as 2008 she was telling us that she was going to run the world.
