Or an alternate By Sarah • Mar 10, 2015 12:46 pm
Amazingness Zoolander Valentino This happened in Paris about an hour ago. Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson walked for Valentino. And THAT just made up for the blonde-ing. This PFW has been hijacked. PROPERLY. All of this in support of course of the upcoming Zoolander sequel. Because this appearance came with an announcement: February By Lainey • Mar 10, 2015 11:47 am

Dumbass Dudes get a Ghostbusters, too…with Channing Tatum In January, the cast of Paul Feig’s all-female Ghostbusters reboot/sequel/whatever was announced, and for the most part, everyone was excited about a lady ghostbusting squad. For the most part—there were some whiny diaper baby man-tears shed over women getting their period blood all over the uber-masculine By Sarah • Mar 10, 2015 10:52 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Professor Clooney’s New York weekend Amal and George Clooney were out for dinner in New York this weekend. As you know, they’re in town because he’s shooting a movie there with Jodie Foster. Or you could say they’re in town because she’s now a visiting lecturer at Columbia’s Human Rights By Lainey • Mar 09, 2015 12:55 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Chris Evans in Playing It Cool review Ugh, this f*cking movie. I have uncontrollable hatred for this movie. I hate it with the fire of a thousand suns. It’s the dumbest movie I’ve seen in recent memory—yes, even dumber than Hot Tub Time Machine 2. At least that movie knows it’s dumb. By Sarah • Mar 06, 2015 12:49 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Gone Girl + Serial = Dark Places The first trailer for Dark Places, an adaptation for Gillian Flynn’s second novel—she didn’t write the screenplay for this one, though—was released yesterday and it looks much darker and more true crime-y than Gone Girl. The story shuffles between the past, when Libby’s family was By Sarah • Mar 06, 2015 11:04 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Oh right—Independence Day 2 is happening In case you need a reminder, Independence Day 2 is actually happening and will be released in summer 2016. April/May is when the summer ’16 movies go into production, and to that end, Independence Day 2 is getting its ducks in a row, announcing some key casting. Relative unknown By Sarah • Mar 05, 2015 12:58 pm
Media Manipulation Rihanna & Leo: the denial & the love compatibility I spent some time yesterday thinking about the Rihanna and Leonardo DiCaprio situation while hopped up on painkillers. I’m telling you, it was a mental workout. I got a lot done in my mind. Leo ended last week with a story about how he’s preparing to play Billy By Lainey • Mar 05, 2015 12:25 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Here’s the old Sherlock Holmes movie you didn’t know you wanted The trend over the last several years has to been to depict Sherlock Holmes as a dashing young detective, thanks to the one-two punch of Robert Downey, Jr.’s Victorian-era rake and Bimblesnort Cupcake’s twenty-first century misanthrope. But director Bill Condon has a new iteration for us—an older By Sarah • Mar 05, 2015 11:55 am
Amazingness Avengers: Age of AWESOME Following a Twitter stunt in which fans had to tweet the hashtag #AvengersAssemble in order to “unlock” a new trailer—I imagine people at Marvel, drunk on their own power, screeching, “Dance monkeys, dance!” and cackling maniacally—yesterday Marvel released the final trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron, and it’ By Sarah • Mar 05, 2015 10:48 am
TV Updates Nicholas Hoult’s Top Gear Nicholas Hoult was photographed on the set of Top Gear yesterday in Sussex for the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car segment. There was a training session with the Stig. And then he did his laps. The final time, obviously, will air on the show. Like you, I tell myself By Lainey • Mar 05, 2015 10:26 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Margot Robbie shines in Focus Will Smith’s career over the last few years has been kind of a sh*t show. In between foisting his offspring on an unsuspecting public he’s starred in a series of bad movies (Men in Black III, After Earth, Winter’s Tale), and he lost some public goodwill By Sarah • Mar 03, 2015 03:17 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Jennifer Lawrence & Bradley Cooper in Serena review The question, when watching Serena, is “Where did this go wrong?” Shot in 2012, it re-teamed proven screen couple Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence for an adaptation of Ron Rash’s novel directed by Susanne Bier, an award-winning Danish filmmaker. There’s a lot of talent on both sides of By Sarah • Mar 03, 2015 11:46 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Salma Hayek in Everly review I didn’t have particularly high hopes for Everly, because I’ve seen director Joe Lynch’s other feature film, Knights of Badassdom, and it’s a mess. I thought at best, Everly would be a B-movie Kill Bill knock-off, at worst it would be forgettable junk, like The Purge. By Sarah • Mar 03, 2015 11:14 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Mr Timberlake comes to visit These photos from last week were just released today. It’s Justin Timberlake visiting his wife on the set of The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea. The photographers are calling it a “surprise”. Look at that smile, how happy she is that he was there, that he came to By Lainey • Mar 02, 2015 01:30 pm
