Media Manipulation Presenter but not Nominee The Academy confirmed yesterday that Jennifer Aniston will present at the Oscars. A presenter… but not a nominee. Gracious to accept the invitation on her part, sure. But, really, what choice did she have? If she declined, she’d look to them like a petty asshole, and they’d probably By Lainey • Feb 11, 2015 11:56 am

Break Ups The timing of the Conscious Uncoupling According to the Daily Mail (so I don’t blame you if you snort at the authenticity of this post), Gwyneth Paltrow intimated to Marie Claire that she and Chris Martin actually separated a year before the conscious uncoupling announcement and that she was actually subtly asking Johnny Depp about By Lainey • Feb 11, 2015 10:23 am

Baby and Bump Obsession The Jolie, the twins, and Captain Marvel? Let’s start with Captain Marvel. There’s a rumour floating around that Marvel is considering asking Angelina Jolie to direct Captain Marvel. Supposedly they’re impressed with her work on Unbroken and they want a female director bossing the female superhero movie. Which is exciting…but… The source. Is By Lainey • Feb 09, 2015 04:08 pm

Assy Style Gwyneth & Chris at the Grammys It seems like these two are never not together. Gwyneth Paltrow presented. Chris Martin performed. And you can see him I think in the background of one of these shots of her. G, obviously, was there for her “beautiful friend” Beyonce. That’s no accident either. While there were complaints By Lainey • Feb 09, 2015 12:37 pm
Media Manipulation We have two races Boyhood won the BAFTA last night. But on Saturday, the Directors Guild picked Birdman. The DGAs are considered a very, very, VERY good predictor of Oscar Best Picture; only 7 times in history have the DGA and the Academy picked differently. Even still, Boyhood has its share of support. So By Lainey • Feb 09, 2015 11:44 am
Media Manipulation Superman and Captain America stand next to each other Yesterday at the BAFTAs Chris Evans and Henry Cavill presented Julianne Moore with the Best Actress award. Two handsome men of the superhero persuasion stood next to each other, and the internet collectively lost its sh*t. It’s understandable—they’re both really, really, really ridiculously good-looking, though Beardy By Sarah • Feb 09, 2015 11:29 am
BFFs Taylor Swift: the Julia Roberts of the Grammys Vulture asked a very important question on Twitter last night: Who has more friends, Taylor or Gwyneth? It’s been a year now, right?

Media Manipulation Amy Pascal steps down at Sony Throughout December as we covered the fallout of the Sony Hack, I often wondered how Amy Pascal, co-chair of the studio and head of its Motion Picture Group, could possibly continue on, given how damaging some of the leaked information was to interpersonal working relationships.

Maple Leaf The Justin Bieber Contrition Tour Week 2 Justin Bieber was on Ellen last week to show you that he’s not a dick anymore. Then he posted another “I’m sorry” video on Instagram calling himself “arrogant and conceited”. Because, as I surmised at the time (click here for a refresher), everybody loves Nick Jonas’s Jealous.
