Media Manipulation Give me the Kate Mara! It must be incredibly laborious to be a Mara sister. Being so aloof and self-possessed is not easy (for these two). I look at someone like Tilda Swinton, who is always the baddest bitch in the room, and it is easy for her. She’s just cool. Rooney and Kate By Maria • Feb 10, 2014 11:59 am
Media Manipulation George Clooney and the internet George Clooney is all over the place for The Monuments Men. I even saw him on Kelly & Michael this morning on the press circuit. George is very selective about his press. He doesn’t make every stop. But I feel like he’s making more stops than usual this By Lainey • Feb 06, 2014 02:15 pm
Baby and Bump Obsession Cherry Picking Privacy: The Royal Edition Cherry Picking Privacy is how I’ve been describing it for a while. It’s the celebrity approach to privacy, as illustrated most recently by Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard, who are calling for a boycott on pap photos of celebrity children, and the publications that purchase them, but who By Lainey • Feb 05, 2014 10:43 am

Baby and Bump Obsession The Price of Mom Pimping When it comes to celebrity culture, 99% of celebrities will tell you what a scourge the paparazzi are – how they just can’t stand the attention and they want to go shopping at The Grove in peace, ok? This is what they say, but it’s not hard to spot By Maria • Jan 28, 2014 04:03 pm
Famewhores Surprise, You and Anne Hathaway Were On a Break It seems to me that the problem with Anne Hathaway, and the reason for her post-Les Miserables backlash, is that she doesn’t really know how to not revel in the spotlight. She milks it. Which isn’t really that offensive, but it rubs people the wrong way. Well, now By Dean • Jan 24, 2014 10:27 am
Media Manipulation What the Fudge Celebrity collaborations and products have saturated the marketplace (perfume, cosmetics, clothing lines, accessories, hair care), but celebrity restaurants are not as prevalent as they used to be.

Media Manipulation Downton Banned from Dan Stevens Junket So we all know Cousin Matthew died, but did you know he’s also on a diet? Dan Stevens has been making the rounds to promote his new movie, Summer in February, and his beautiful baby moon face that we all fell in love with is nowhere to be seen.

Media Manipulation Matthew McConaughey dresses for award season What would you call this colour? From some angles, it looks gold to me. And that’s what I’ll go with since it fits the point of this article…which is that it’s go time for Matthew McConaughey on the award circuit.

Coincidence or conspiracy Is Ryan in on it too? Last month a photographer miraculously found Blake Lively frolicking in a meadow with her dog (click here for a refresher), holding up a pink Moto X phone… and we were supposed to believe these were “candid” shots of her not getting paid. OK. On Thursday, Blake and Ryan Reynolds went By Lainey • Dec 16, 2013 09:57 am
Assy Style Blake changes management Remember when Blake Lively fronted Chanel? That lasted about 5 minutes. Blake’s a Gucci girl right now. Why didn’t Karl want to extend that relationship?
