Bad Style Some people wore jeans… Saturday in Santa Monica, in a hangar at the local airport, check out Kate Beckinsale on the carpet at the Pink Party to benefit Cedars-Sinai Women’s Cancer Research.

Lainey Interviews Jen in person My first Aniston close-up. And twice in one day. Yesterday, Sunday, she came into our eTalk Lounge for a sit-down interview with Ben Mulroney. Without a doubt, it was Jen Day. Her film was not a gala. It screened at a small, little theatre far from the fanfare By Lainey • Sep 08, 2008 04:27 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Taupe Curtains on the Carpet Taupe finally confirmed herself yesterday what we’ve now known for months – she’s pregnant with her second.

Jennifer Garner Taupe clips Taupe Garner went to visit a friend yesterday. Some people say women of a certain age should no longer do this or wear that.

Parent Pimps Taupe and Violet smiling Taupe and Violet out and about today… and is it just me or is Jennifer Garner a little bigger ‘round the bust area? Jennifer Garner isn’t known for being chesty. These photos should give the bump nuts even more reason to flap, non? Once again, to reiterate, she and By Lainey • Jul 02, 2008 11:05 am
Ben Affleck The Taupes are fine And they’re engaging the paps to convince you of it. As I always say – gossip is a buffet. The smut is laid out, your choice what goes on your plate.

Famewhores Taupe & Violet please everyone Jennifer Garner was never as popular when Alias was ON the air as she has been now that it’s OFF the air. Strange, non? That an actress’s value can increase even when she’s not working? This is the power of the MiniVan Majority. Because Taupe had Violet. By Lainey • Jun 13, 2008 01:30 am
