Movie Reviews and Previews David Oyelowo and Kate Mara face off In the battle of the Rooney Sisters, where do we stand? For a while there, it seemed like Rooney Mara was ahead of elder sister Kate, and she did bag that Oscar nomination for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for March 17, 2015 Dear Gossips, “You know, you look a lot better without all that black sh-t under your eyes.” Did she? Then, maybe. But now? By today’s standards, at least to me, Ally Sheedy totally looked better in The Breakfast Club BEFORE Claire gave her the hairband makeover. Come on. This… By Lainey • Mar 17, 2015 09:29 am

Movie Reviews and Previews Judi Dench in The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel review I watched The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel over the holidays with my parents and found it be a charmingly daffy mix of Fawlty Towers, Cocoon, and cheerful racism (India! So quaint!). The sequel, I can report, is more of the same. The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is a charming By Sarah • Mar 13, 2015 03:30 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Hugh Jackman in Chappie review With his latest movie Chappie, South African director Neill Blomkamp officially enters The Wachowski Zone: His debut feature film was an impressive feat, and everything that has followed it is a flop mess.

Girlcrushes Rihanna’s pink morning Rihanna doesn’t do a lot of interviews. She’s done some major interviews, sure. But you know she’s selective. And you know we don’t actually hear her speak at length very often. She’s promoting an animated film called Home though. So there are some press commitments. By Lainey • Mar 13, 2015 12:19 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Vince Vaughn in Unfinished Business review Well, I’ll say this—compared to the “comedies” I’ve seen recently, at least Unfinished Business isn’t offensively bad. It does, in fact, do a few things that I found surprisingly refreshing, given both the genre and overall lackluster-ness of the movie.

Girlcrushes Three of the Best Anne Hathaway stepped out last night in New York to support the Public Theatre where she’ll be performing this spring. It’s not…my favourite hairstyle on her.

Sit DOWN Sit DOWN, Scott Eastwood I’ve said it before but not for a while because he’s not a regular here so let’s repeat it: Scott Eastwood? I’m not a believer. Not my jam. He is for some of you though. When those pictures came out a couple of years ago in By Lainey • Mar 11, 2015 03:49 pm
Music The Life and Times of Rihanna Deadline is reporting that Peter Berg will direct an upcoming feature documentary on Rihanna. They know each other from Battleship, and we know Peter from Friday Night Lights (and more). Friday Night Rihanna, oh my God.
