Famewhores A lot can change in a year Oscars 2011 - Justin Timberlake took Jessica Biel to the Vanity Fair Oscar party. He even agreed to be photographed with her, and smiling too.

Media Manipulation George’s “Mominee” Finally. As you know, I’ve been saying for a while now that the girlfriend situation for publicity and awards just isn’t working for George Clooney.

Famewhores “My girlfriend, I don’t know if any of you guys know her...” Have we been played for nine months? Late Spring last year we were told that Jennifer Aniston’s new boyfriend was called Justin Theroux; she’s been fronting like they didn’t hook up during filming of Wanderlust because he had a girlfriend at the time but whatever... the point By Lainey • Feb 22, 2012 11:51 am
Assy Style How Swifty’s spinning the loss of Les Miserables Here’s Taylor Swift at the premiere of The Lorax yesterday in Hollywood. Trying to decide whether or not like I the dress. The neckline gives the illusion of a collar which I think I might be into but I can’t deal with the sheer panelling on the sides. By Lainey • Feb 20, 2012 10:24 am
Media Manipulation George’s final push for votes Oscar voting ends on Tuesday, February 21st. This, then, is the last weekend for academy voters to (pretend to) watch the films and fill out their ballots.

Media Manipulation GOOP’s greens are gone As you can see, the video of Gwyneth Paltrow selling vegetables I posted in the open today isn’t working. It was working yesterday when I first put it up.

Media Manipulation Best BAFTA 2012: Meryl Streep I think this Vivienne Westwood is glorious on her. Magestic. And it's great encouragement too. That a woman of Meryl's merit, maturity, and stature can wear the SH-T out of a designer garment that was originally sent down the runway on an 18 year old genetic By Lainey • Feb 13, 2012 06:57 pm
Media Manipulation Dancing Dujardin Oh it’s work, don’t doubt it. It’s deliberate, don’t doubt that either. But... He is having a good time. And that might be the difference. Jean Dujardin took the SAG and the BAFTA. He’s imitating John Travolta on Jay Leno: He’s being delightful for By Lainey • Feb 13, 2012 06:56 pm
Media Manipulation All the handsome men... Other than Jean Dujardin. Brad Pitt and George Clooney both came without dates. The Jolie stayed back with the children in Berlin and George, perhaps sensing that Stacy’s not helping against Jean Dujardin, decided to go it alone. He’s better alone. When he’s alone, he can be By Lainey • Feb 13, 2012 06:55 pm
Media Manipulation Scarjo & the Beauty on the beach Scarlett Johansson is on holiday in Hawaii with her boyfriend Nate Naylor, the “most beautiful” man in the world. Like he’s the aesthetic winner in this relationship. But what are you playing at here, Scarjo? Shots on the beach? Bikinis and affection? No attempt to hide, no misspelled sign By Lainey • Feb 13, 2012 04:15 pm
Style Use David as a lure... Why didn’t she think of it earlier??? What does Posh desperately, desperately want? What has Anna Wintour withheld from her forever? The cover of US Vogue.

Media Manipulation Mr Popular with the paps George Clooney took Stacy Keibler out for dinner last night. He’s been busy all week, hustling and campaigning, talking, talking, talking, trying his best to edge out Jean Dujardin, performing the “official” duties required on the circuit...with no time for the “unofficial” activities that also make up his By Lainey • Feb 10, 2012 11:00 am
Break Ups Johnny Depp’s $4 million dollar “personal life” Johnny Depp’s next film The Lone Ranger is supposed to start shooting on February 12. That has now been pushed back by two weeks. The reason?

Media Manipulation Denzel & Ryan in New York, no Blake Denzel Washington, joined by wife Pauletta, and Ryan Reynolds were in New York last night for the premiere of Safe House which opens on Friday. No sign of Blake Lively. Like, not even a “caught entering through a side door” situation. How’s this? Somehow Blake and Ryan were found By Lainey • Feb 08, 2012 11:43 am
