Media Manipulation Oh yeah, Armie Hammer Armie Hammer and his wife Elizabeth Chambers stepped out this weekend for the LACMA 50th anniversary gala.

Media Manipulation The history of Ben Affleck The Daily Mail was on this story first after going through the Sony archive through Wikileaks. What an incredible trove of gossip this hack has been.

Music Taylor’s Country Music Milestone The Academy of Country Music Awards happened last night in Texas. Taylor Swift received the Milestone Award. She’s 25 years old. And she’s making pop music now.

Parent Pimps Silas Is Already Useful A few years ago, Kevin Jonas announced the birth of his daughter via a sponsored tweet. Since then, there’ve been several pee-stick announcements sponsored by pregnancy tests. Basically, there is no shame in the parental pimp game anymore. Is sponsorship even tacky anymore? Is there any part of pregnancy By Maria • Apr 16, 2015 02:56 pm
Media Manipulation Emma to Cannes The Cannes Film Festival announced its lineup today. Among the films screening out of competition, Woody Allen’s An Irrational Man starring Emma Stone, apparently his new muse, and Joaquin Phoenix. So Emma’s going to Cannes.

Media Manipulation SuperBat vs Ultron Sarah told me about this last night just before I fell asleep and I’ve read 3 articles about it this morning and I still don’t really understand what’s happening or why.

Girls Who Don`t Eat Gwyneth celebrates Posh Tuesday night in LA there was a private dinner celebrating the Victoria Beckham collection at Barneys. A big deal for her.

Assy Style Shoes for Beyonce Beyonce was in Beverly Hills last night for the opening of the Giuseppe Zanotti boutique and was personally toured through the space by Giuseppe himself.

Hollywood Drugs Rihanna is Rihanna’s best publicist I was asked to speak at the Young Women In Law gala in Toronto recently – THANK YOU for your generous donation to Covenant House Vancouver! – and during the Q&A someone asked me why I hadn’t been mentioning stories about celebrities and drugs.

Baby and Bump Obsession Blake Lively: doing it all “elegantly” Blake Lively covers the new issue of ALLURE in advance of the release of The Age Of Adaline. That means she’s probably not covering VOGUE with the baby, which is what I was expecting. I mean I thought for sure, non? So I was wrong. But motherhood is on By Lainey • Apr 14, 2015 11:26 am
Media Manipulation Intro for April 14, 2015 Dear Gossips, It was reported yesterday that Ben Affleck’s name appears before Henry Cavill’s name in the credit listing for Batman vs Superman.

Maple Leaf Madonna eats Drake Madonna joined Drake on stage at Coachella this weekend. At one point, while he was sitting in a chair, she approached him from behind and put her tongue in his mouth.
