Media Manipulation Jake’s Constellations I updated the Rachel McAdams article from earlier with some new information – click here to read it. Not that that has anything to do with Jake Gyllenhaal. But it SHOULD. And it COULD. Because, well, go read the post. Anyway, here’s Jake Gyllenhaal in New York today at a By Lainey • Nov 18, 2014 01:14 pm
Gorgessity Have you seen Chris Martin? Last night was the Hollywood premiere of Mockingjay Part 1. I’ve not read any stories about Chris Martin being there, have you? Let me know.

Movie Reviews and Previews Angelina Jolie holds the room I read a book earlier this year called The Confidence Code: The Science And Art Of Self-Assurance – What Women Should Know by Katty Kay and Claire Shipman.

Media Manipulation Keira’s playing too Keira Knightley went full angel at the Hollywood Film Awards in an exquisite Giambattista Valli dress. That applique around the neck and down one arm is pure gorgessity and, God, I love the sleeves. Not even those sh-tty shoes could take away from it. So they gave her the Best By Lainey • Nov 17, 2014 02:02 pm
Style Jen’s plaid Cake Jennifer Aniston was in New York last night for a special screening of Cake presented by The Cinema Society and InStyle, scheduled between promotional appearances for Horrible Bosses 2 which opens in 10 days.

Media Manipulation Hands-free Alexander Skarsgard Alexander Skarsgard was photographed hands-free on Saturday at a gas station in Hollywood. This hands-free gas pumping thing is like Bigfoot to me. I’ve been driving for 25 years (f-ck me, I’m old) and I’ve never, ever, ever found a hands-free pump. Is it an American thing? By Lainey • Nov 17, 2014 12:12 pm

Media Manipulation Every Best Actor gets an award The race for Best Actor will be between Michael Keaton, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Eddie Redmayne this year. All three were at the Hollywood Film Awards. All three received awards at the Hollywood Film Awards. Jesus, is this show business or is this grade school? As we’ve seen, Keaton had By Lainey • Nov 17, 2014 10:43 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Ben Affleck’s penis at the Hollywood Film Awards Ben Affleck pretty much said it during his speech – Gone Girl was recognised as the Best Film, or something, I don’t know what they call it, at the Hollywood Film Awards and, as he pointed out, there were no other nominees.

Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for November 17, 2014 Dear Gossips, It happened. There’s now an award show that is officially more of a joke than the People’s Choice Awards, with less integrity than the Golden Globes. I know. It didn’t seem possible. But with its first live telecast on Friday, the Hollywood Film Awards demonstrated By Lainey • Nov 17, 2014 08:02 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Fifty Shades Of Grey panting A new trailer for the Fifty Shades Of Grey movie, due out on Valentine’s Day, was released last night.

Style Robert Pattinson’s patch Robert Pattinson gave us a good look at his haircut last night at the GOGO Gala in Beverly Hills. He shaved too. And from the front, it’s not bad. That’s the best suit I’ve seen on him in a long time, no sign of any mothering hip By Lainey • Nov 14, 2014 09:49 am
