Hook Ups Creatively they are doing it It’s wishful thinking. But Christmas is 4 days away. So ...why not? Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling are promoting Blue Valentine. Endlessly. Cynthia McFadden interviewed the two for ABC and asked about the rumours that they’re dating. (What rumours? I hadn’t heard of any rumours that they’ By Lainey • Dec 21, 2010 04:39 am
Bad Style Euro style sh-ts It’s a photo heavy post because I’m not splitting up multiple articles to cover all the Jolie’s sartorial sh-ts from The Tourist premiere and photocalls in Italy and Spain. Let’s start from Wednesday night. Those assy satin pants. Even the Jolie, with her spindly legs, can’ By Lainey • Dec 17, 2010 03:02 am
Royals Royal cuddles! Thoughts on the official royal engagement portraits? They were taken by Mario Testino whose photographs of Diana are the princes’ favourites. Did you buy that book? Of course I bought that book. She is SO beautiful in that book. I’ve attached the two I like best. As for William By Lainey • Dec 13, 2010 02:18 am
Hook Ups Ryan, Blake, Harvey Further to yesterday’s report that Blake Lively left Paris and Karl Lagerfeld, electing not to attend the Chanel Metier D’Art show in her new position as their bag model, to attend instead the Blue Valentine premiere and afterparty with Ryan Gosling in New York, seated beside him during By Lainey • Dec 09, 2010 03:02 am
Gorgessity That Area The British Fashion Awards are happening in London tonight. Emma Roberts appears to be kind of a thing over in the UK after making a movie over there. Or she wants to be kind of a thing in the UK. Whatever. I’m coming to the point. And the point By Lainey • Dec 07, 2010 08:23 am
Bad Style Can’t you help her with her hair? Please. Brad Pitt knows. How to dress. Always. He has always cared about his appearance, he has always, always been a badass steezy motherf-cker. Look at him. See? Hot. And then there’s the Jolie, here last night at the New York premiere of The Tourist, in a very serviceable By Lainey • Dec 07, 2010 02:15 am
Gorgessity Carey & Cumberbatch Carey Mulligan was named Best Actress last night at the British Independent Film Awards in London for Never Let Me Go. Carey looks great in the face – SO pretty – but I’m not into this dress. It’s like an apron. And also the black shoes. Not feeling those either. By Lainey • Dec 06, 2010 05:16 am
Quiveration Colin takes two While the National Board of Review awarded Best Actor to Jesse Eisenberg, The Washington DC Film Critics chose Colin Firth. Firth also took home the Best Actor award, not surprisingly, last night at the British Independent Film Awards in London. It’s undeniable that he’s the favourite, which is By Lainey • Dec 06, 2010 04:50 am
Quiveration 1001 Screenings I wonder if they get sick of seeing their own movie. Even if they love that movie. Even if it’s the passion project of a lifetime, I wonder if there isn’t a little fatigue about it, especially when we’re coming up on a year of promoting it. By Lainey • Dec 06, 2010 02:46 am
BFFs No Olivier, No Oprah... yet Halle Berry did not work the carpet last night at the Frankie & Alice LA premiere with Olivier Martinez. This is now serious campaign season. And as previously reported, Halle has been hustling for one, hard, accelerating the release schedule for eligibility and enthusiastically working the circuit. Maybe her people By Lainey • Dec 01, 2010 05:15 am
Quiveration No, seriously, he’s perfect Really. He is. I received an email yesterday from Isabel who told me about Colin Firth’s article in Vogue which reminded me I hadn’t even opened my December issue yet. Of course I immediately went to check. And there he is. On page 292, maybe the best photo By Lainey • Nov 25, 2010 04:01 am
Girly Throw Downs Leighton getting paid As you know, Blake Lively is considered the real superstar among the Gossip Girl actors, even though Leighton Meester’s Blair Waldorf is the heart and soul of the show. Since Leighton’s cut of fame is inexplicably – tits aside – so much smaller than Blake’s, it always makes me By Lainey • Nov 24, 2010 07:12 am
Gorgessity He’s not a second guest He really isn’t. But the way the timing worked out yesterday at Letterman, Colin Firth had to be. Any show producer would have made the same call. After all, Jerry Seinfeld was there. And he delivered a short stand-up routine. And he spent time on the chair with Dave, By Lainey • Nov 24, 2010 03:00 am
Girlcrushes Hard for Portman Did you watch Natalie Portman on Letterman last night? I actually wasn’t intending to watch it, but I saw pap photos of Jay Pharoah arriving at the studio and I set the PVR to make sure to catch him, and then when Jacek and I turned it on later, By Lainey • Nov 23, 2010 02:32 am
Gorgessity Halle in a lust haze It was announced recently that Halle Berry would be pushing through her film Frankie & Alice (shot in Vancouver) to making it eligible for awards season. The move was obvious – she wants a nomination and, while she’s still considered a longshot, it does sound like, at the very least, By Lainey • Nov 18, 2010 05:30 am
Gorgessity 24 Hours with Emma Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 premiered in New York last night. OMG. 2 more sleeps til the midnight showing. Can you stand it?
