Coincidence or conspiracy A Blakey black eye? What? Please. I’m sure he’s nothing to do with it.

BFFs Helen & Russell Whatever it is between them, this adorable thing, this affection, this crush, whatever it is I love it.

Movie Reviews and Previews Hot Topic: Miss Marple Manipulated Written by Duana Last night, as I talked to my mom, we discussed how, based on age or timing or something, I never had a band to get hysterical about.

Ben Affleck Longer-haired Ben Affleck? Is his hair longer? It looks it to me. Here’s Ben Affleck on Capitol Hill yesterday talking about Congo. He looks good. The first photo I’m attaching – that smile, or smirk, it reminds me of his role in Shakespeare in Love. You know he plays Ned, and when By Lainey • Mar 09, 2011 02:00 am
