Break Ups Robo unshackled This is why we live in fear on Fridays. Because these motherf-ckers always wait until the very last minute before the weekend before giving us extra work. I’m in the news studio right now. We’re reshuffling etalk around. And the local newsroom just exploded too. This must be By Lainey • Jun 29, 2012 02:37 pm
Hook Ups The Johnny Amber strategy As mentioned yesterday in the coverage of the Us Weekly article on Johnny Depp’s “broken heart”, the magazine’s sources claim that Johnny stepped out on Vanessa with an extra on Pirates Of The Caribbean and maybe Eva Green and Amber Heard and his publicist, but only because V By Lainey • Jun 28, 2012 11:48 am
Famewhores Megan Fox is LeAnn Rimes now We had to wait a few days before getting access to these shots as they’d been held exclusively by other outlets that were able to bid at a higher level to publish them first and with a long lead time. As you can see, very obviously, Megan Fox and By Lainey • Jun 27, 2012 04:35 pm
Break Ups It’s all Vanessa’s fault Here we go. And we were waiting for it, weren’t we? This is the cover of the new issue of Us Weekly. Us Weekly is published by Jann Wenner, a good friend of Johnny Depp. Last week I wondered about Us Weekly’s coverage of the situation while every By Lainey • Jun 27, 2012 10:05 am
Media Manipulation OMG an honest press release! That was my reaction to Friday’s announcement from Universal about kicking The Bourne Legacy back a week in order to get out of the wake of The Dark Knight Rises, which opens only three weeks before Bourne’s original August 3 release date. Pushing back a week gives Bourne By Sarah • Jun 26, 2012 12:41 pm
Hollywood Closet This is for your parents It’s your parents who don’t know. And their parents. That’s who this is for. Thank you for explaining it to me the last few weeks. Many of you have emailed to confirm that, indeed, there are people out there, A LOT of people, who still think John By Lainey • Jun 26, 2012 11:35 am
Break Ups Depp Damage Control Is it weird if Johnny Depp’s publicist has to work on damage controlling her client’s reputation following his breakup from Vanessa Paradis if the breakup had something to do with the publicist? At this point it’s not like Robin Baum doesn’t know. It’s not like By Lainey • Jun 22, 2012 11:05 am
Famewhores Leo & Erin on bikes While Blake and Ryan are getting all domestic with their pies and canned foods, her ex-boyfriend Leonardo DiCaprio is also in New York with his current model bonafide Erin Heatherton. The two were photographed riding their bikes home from dinner. I’m very surprised he doesn’t have a towel By Lainey • Jun 15, 2012 12:18 pm
Media Manipulation Reese in a tent and a new rep Well this kinda slipped under the radar... But first - Reese Witherspoon and husband Jim Toth were in Austin this weekend for Matthew McConaughey’s wedding. They recently worked together on Mud. Did Reese sleep in one of the tents and use a luxury portable toilet? Who gives a sh-t By Lainey • Jun 11, 2012 02:59 pm
Famewhores Drew’s wedding and the dreaded pose I don’t know why I’m surprised. At this point, whenever a celebrity sells something, no matter how intimate, why should we be surprised? But still you hope. You hope that there are still a few of them who resist and don’t. That they keep something to themselves. By Lainey • Jun 06, 2012 11:21 am
Girly Throw Downs Halle’s Master Plan? The Halle Berry/Gabriel Aubry custody battle is vicious, dirty family drama at its worst. Allegations of neglect, racism, volatile phone calls (he apparently taped her in a rage calling him a sperm donor)… it’s all very Mel Gibson/Oksana Grigorieva. Lately both have refrained from using the media By Maria • Jun 01, 2012 10:49 am
Media Manipulation Blake’s “First Choice” Blake Lively is beginning promotion for Savages. This, allegedly, is the film that will really prove that she belongs in the same conversation as Carey Mulligan, Keira Knightley, and the others. Remember 2011? Remember my favourite question? How did she DO that? How did Blake Lively get Leonardo DiCaprio on By Lainey • May 30, 2012 11:50 am
Hollywood Closet John’s video for Kelly First of all... Kelly Preston has a website? Sarah messaged me last night asking if I’d seen the video that John Travolta made for Kelly Preston. I hadn’t and made a point of watching it before passing out thinking it’d be great to fall asleep to the By Lainey • May 18, 2012 10:08 am
Chills Chills Chills Tom Cruise is not John Travolta Rock Of Ages opens in less than a month. We’re about to get a lot of Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise as a badass rock star. Tom Cruise bare-chested, wearing eyeliner, and SINGING. Two magazine profiles have been released as advance promotion for the film. I’m sure by now By Lainey • May 17, 2012 02:03 pm
Dumbass JLo’s next career moves Forbes has just put Jennifer Lopez on top of their Celebrity 100 List, calling her the most powerful celebrity in the business with $52 million earned last year along with total pop culture domination. I don’t dispute it. American Idol is the best decision she’s ever made. The By Lainey • May 17, 2012 10:29 am
Media Manipulation RDJ’s Avengers haul In the ongoing story of “The Avengers is making all the money”, The Hollywood Reporter has a piece about Robert Downey Jr.’s Avengers bonus money. RDJ took a huge upfront pay cut to be in The Avengers (so did everyone else) but, thanks to a deal negotiated after Iron By Sarah • May 17, 2012 09:51 am
