Assy Style The Art of Douchebag Dressing This week, Lainey wrote about celebrities being paid to dress like assholes (click here for a refresher), otherwise known as Coachella. It’s a mess – flower crowns, fringe boots (because why wouldn’t you wear suede boots in the desert?), floppy velvet hats - and I guess getting high and By Maria • Apr 10, 2014 10:48 am
Music Gaga like Beyonce Lady Gaga performed at the Roseland Ballroom last night. It was the last of 7 sold out shows and the final show ever before the historic venue closes down. Gaga is a New York City girl. No doubt it meant a lot to her to have this opportunity. In other By Lainey • Apr 08, 2014 10:38 am
Media Manipulation Rachel & Daniel’s night out We don’t see these two very often. They spend time in New York but they don’t wave themselves in front of the paps so when they do step out, it’s like a gift. Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig were at the Night of Opportunity gala in NYC By Lainey • Apr 08, 2014 10:01 am
Media Manipulation Distraction from the bridge Zac Efron was front and centre at the Laker game the other night. And he had a girl with him. So that’s what we’re talking about now. We’re not supposed to talk about how he randomly showed up under a Los Angeles bridge and got his ass By Lainey • Apr 07, 2014 02:41 pm
Baby and Bump Obsession The Belly-Cupper party Jennifer Love Hewitt has a line of maternity clothes now. You know, my colleague on The Social, Melissa Grelo, was pregnant through the entire first run of our show and she wore regular clothing the entire time. Same thing with Cynthia Loyst. And so many of the other women I By Lainey • Apr 02, 2014 12:09 pm
TV Updates Nicole Richie Back to Reality (TV) When Nicole Richie's AOL webseries #CandidlyNicole came out, I was all for it (see here and here for a refresher). At the time, I wrote that all the things that she's done in her career - bratty socialite, BFF of Ebola Hilton, fashion designer - are By Maria • Apr 01, 2014 03:08 pm
Media Manipulation Chris Evans Take Back Tour of 2014 Captain America: The Winter Soldier comes out on Friday. This is your daily reminder that it’s really good (it’s tied with Iron Man for the highest-rated Marvel movie yet). Since it’s the last week of publicity, we have a lot of new appearances from Chris Evans as By Sarah • Mar 31, 2014 03:36 pm
Baby and Bump Obsession Has Posh given up? Victoria Beckham and her children arrived in LA this weekend. Cruz walked with his mother. Big brother Brooklyn held H7 in his arms. H7 had her hair down. Her hair was down! Has Posh given up? It was a joke, sort of, when I wrote a few weeks ago that By Lainey • Mar 31, 2014 12:49 pm
Style More bold lip and better reviews I love everything about Emma Watson’s look at Letterman yesterday. All of it. Even the slingback and I’m not normally feeling a slingback. But the suit is beautifully tailored. And the pant length is amazing. And I’m never going to complain about a crisp white shirt. You’ By Lainey • Mar 26, 2014 04:19 pm
Break Ups Rebranding Gwyneth Paltrow I love Duana. Duana texted me in a rage last night about Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s separation announcement. Specifically this: "We have been working hard for well over a year, some of it together, some of it separated, to see what might have been possible between us, By Lainey • Mar 26, 2014 11:21 am
Media Manipulation Chris Evans is retir—wait what was that? About money? Chris Evans has a fancy Variety profile in advance of Captain America: The Winter Soldier opening in the US next week (have I mentioned today that it’s really good?). The headline is that he’s going to leave acting and pursue directing, full-time, once his Marvel contract is done By Sarah • Mar 25, 2014 02:04 pm
Assy Style Johnny Depp’s engagement tour You remember when Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were engaged and it happened to be when he was promoting some movie and it became like their engagement tour? Why am I getting the same vibe from Johnny Depp? Is Johnny Depp as cheesy as Tom Cruise? Depp and his fiancée By Lainey • Mar 24, 2014 12:18 pm
Media Manipulation Maybe it was for award season The last we heard of Kate Hudson, she and Matt Bellamy were having problems in their relationship. She hadn’t been wearing her ring. And even PEOPLE was reporting that she and Bellamy were estranged. If PEOPLE was willing to go there, it had to have been subtly sanctioned. But By Lainey • Mar 24, 2014 10:27 am
Media Manipulation The Lifestyle of Reese Witherspoon You remember when Reese Witherspoon was working the award show circuit while campaigning for an Oscar for her performance in Walk The Line? During her acceptance speeches, her southern accent would, you know, just slip out inadvertently. My ass. That was a well-run strategy that ended with a Best Actress.

Media Manipulation Project January Jones At best, the read on January Jones was “cold”. At worst, if you believe Zach Galifianakis, we’re supposed to “forget about (her) in a few years". So…she’s definitely not Hollywood’s Miss Congeniality. Was it starting to become a professional problem? Part 1 of Mad Men’ By Lainey • Mar 21, 2014 10:48 am
Media Manipulation No Photos Please (but Likes are Welcome) It’s been almost a month since Alec Baldwin “retired” from public life (click here for a refresher), so you knew he was going to pop up again soon. He can’t help himself. It’s part of his deranged charm. This week, Baldwin’s wife Hilaria posted a photo By Maria • Mar 20, 2014 10:24 am
