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. For instance, The Wife (played by By Sarah • Mar 12, 2015 11:16 am

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. On the weekend, The Devil Wears Prada was on. Hadn’t seen it in a while. I’ve decided I miss By Lainey • Mar 11, 2015 04:59 pm
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.

BFFs Johnny Depp clipped his wing That’s what Harrison Ford said to me when I interviewed him in a sling in 2008 in Cannes after breaking my arm: “So you clipped your wing.” He clipped his wing(s) too. Thanks God he’s expected to make a full recovery. Here’s Johnny Depp getting on By Lainey • Mar 11, 2015 09:51 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for March 11, 2015 Dear Gossips, My happiness from the Blue Steel on the Valentino runway yesterday still hasn’t faded. But even though I practically begged her to join me in my post about it yesterday (click here for a refresher), Sarah remained unmoved. I think she was turned off by the February By Lainey • Mar 11, 2015 08:54 am
Media Manipulation Tomorrowland starring Grumpy George and a Girl The last trailer of Tomorrowland—now subtitled “A Place Beyond”—failed to elucidate the plot. But there is a new trailer which finally gives us a little information as to what this movie is about: Grumpy George Clooney and a Girl are going to save the future. 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.

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
