Media Manipulation Leo on marriage? Leo looked good last night at The Great Gatsby premiere in New York. That’s a nice suit. I feel like maybe there’s too much red in his face in some of these shots and of course it’ll never be what it was when he was at his By Lainey • May 02, 2013 11:52 am
Media Manipulation How much will they have to pay RDJ? Jacek was given strict orders not to talk to me, not to be around me, not to bother me at all during Robert Downey Jr’s interview with Jon Stewart last night on The Daily Show. RDJ is the best.

Media Manipulation Armie Hammer’s apprenticeship I said once that no matter how bad The Lone Ranger looks, I wouldn’t bet against director Gore Verbinski pulling a rabbit out of his hat and coming up with something entertaining and crowd-pleasing, if not exactly good.

Famewhores Beyonce copyright Remember when Beyonce complained about her unflattering photos after the Super Bowl? Click here for a refresher. That’s what happens when you complain.

Maple Leaf Ryan Reynolds vs Will Smith Every year a big budget movie takes a sh-t at the box office. The other day I predicted that Will Smith’s After Earth would hold that title in 2013.

Baby and Bump Obsession Jenna Tatum and a Panda What’s cuter than a pregnant woman with a teddy bear? That’s rhetorical, because nothing, obviously. I know very little about Jenna Dewan-Tatum, except that she dated Justin Timberlake, post-Britney/pre-Cameron. And of course she’s married to Channing Tatum. This is where celebrity hierarchy becomes fascinating, because when By Maria • Apr 09, 2013 10:35 am
Media Manipulation As long as you don’t half-ass the promotion Justin Timberlake played golf with Kiefer Sutherland this weekend in Brentwood. Pipsqueak’s head is extra extra big right now because of how well The 20/20 Experience sold in its first week. And his summer tour with Jay-Z is also doing great numbers. Not bad for an album that By Lainey • Apr 08, 2013 02:53 pm
