Movie Reviews and Previews Joss Whedon wants out of the superhero boys’ club After The Avengers became the third-highest grossing film in modern cinema in 2012, Marvel handed him a bag of money and the gig directing the sequel, Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Movie Reviews and Previews Lily and Jane: The original Tina and Amy Many of us noticed during the Golden Globes that Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin are not only awesome ladies on their own, but they’re especially awesome together.

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
Media Manipulation Angelina and the directors The Hollywood Reporter has posted their Director Roundtable video. It’s 2 weeks to Christmas. It’s a Friday afternoon. So, you know, if you have time to f-ck around before you hit the weekend, this is worth your time. Mike Leigh, Angelina Jolie, Richard Linklater, Bennett Miller, Christopher Nolan, By Lainey • Dec 12, 2014 03:43 pm
Media Manipulation Gwyneth the First Remember that rumoured Vanity Fair “takedown” of Gwyneth we were all waiting for? It never materialized, obviously, with Graydon and Gwyneth making nice over a phone call and a jab at his weight. But it hasn’t been a stellar 2014 for Gwyneth, considering the conscious uncoupling and the disclosure By Maria • Nov 18, 2014 02:02 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Angelina Jolie holds the room I read a book earlier this year called The Confidence Code: The Science And Art Of Self-Assurance – What Women Should Know by Katty Kay and Claire Shipman.

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
Movie Reviews and Previews Natalie Dormer’s “resting bitch face” Natalie Dormer covers the December issue of FLARE. Dormer plays Cressida in Mockingjay: Part 1. You also know her as Margaery in Game Of Thrones. And you may have met her as Anne Boleyn in The Tudors. Or maybe you just love her look – she buzzed half her head for By Lainey • Nov 04, 2014 09:21 am
Media Manipulation Reese Witherspoon and the McConaughey model First a reminder: Reese Witherspoon’s husband, Jim Toth, is Matthew McConaughey’s agent. Together, he and McConaughey engineered what’s now known as the McConaissance. Perhaps the same game plan is now in place for Reese. Like McConaughey, what Reese is offering is supposed to be a lot more By Lainey • Nov 03, 2014 03:10 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Keira Knightley’s prom Keira Knightley gave an interview to Variety recently during which she talked about her prom, or whatever they call prom in England.

Movie Reviews and Previews Demi and her girls It’s nice to see Demi Moore stepping out with her daughters so much lately. They were said to be estranged when Demi fell apart after Ashton Kutcher cheated on her and their marriage ended. Last night she seemed healthy and happy at a fashion event with Rumer and Tallulah By Lainey • Oct 24, 2014 11:44 am
BFFs Taylor Swift’s new stage presence Taylor Swift performed Out Of The Woods on Kimmel last night. They shut down the block for her. I told you last week that I love the song – click here for a refresher – and that I can’t stop listening to it. Seeing her performing it is an entirely different By Lainey • Oct 24, 2014 11:20 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Jennifer Garner: bangs and balance Jennifer Garner spoke last night at the ELLE Women in Hollywood Awards. Just Jared has posted video of it – click here to see.

Movie Reviews and Previews Jennifer Lawrence covers Vanity Fair Sh-t I just realised. It’s mid-October already. Which means Mockingjay Part 1 comes out in just over a month. So we should be getting a lot of Jennifer Lawrence on press tour, starting with the cover of Vanity Fair. It’s the first time she’s been interviewed extensively By Lainey • Oct 07, 2014 10:54 am
Amazingness Amy IS amazing Beware spoilers… Rosamund Pike delivers. Amy Dunne is the best part of Gone Girl. But… Amy is F-CKED. She is a psychopath. A sociopath. She is sick, she is twisted, she is evil. Is she? And if she is… so what? We glorify anti-heroes all the time. Michael Corleone is By Lainey • Oct 06, 2014 01:18 pm
Style Chanel’s protest Normally I’d post this in LifeStyle but Chanel’s always a spectacle and every other runway has been cockblocked by Amal Alamuddin so Karl had to do something extra, as he does. The clothes were secondary to the messages. A rally. A protest rally. And that becomes fashion. It By Lainey • Sep 30, 2014 01:31 pm
