Movie Reviews and Previews Keira Knightley’s prom Keira Knightley gave an interview to Variety recently during which she talked about her prom, or whatever they call prom in England.

Movie Reviews and Previews Channing Tatum in a t-shirt and jeans Magic Mike time. He’s shooting in Savannah. Was photographed leaving his hotel yesterday. Am attaching these shots because I really enjoy the Channing Tatum reaction. Whenever we mention his name, just his name, on The Social, people start screaming. Without prompting. Hi! Welcome to the show! It’s Monday! By Lainey • Oct 27, 2014 01:03 pm
Maple Leaf Jim Carrey’s Matthew McConaughey I thought it was a pretty strong Saturday Night Live this weekend hosted by Jim Carrey. The sketches were weird if they weren’t funny, with a kind of random silliness that I found really…appealing. And his Matthew McConaughey accent is RIGHT ON. The fact that it was a By Lainey • Oct 27, 2014 11:47 am
Baby and Bump Obsession The return of Ryan Gosling Here are new shots of Ryan Gosling on Friday in Atlanta on the set of The Nice Guys. He co-stars with Russell Crowe. As you can see, the film takes place in the 70s which, I guess, explains the moustache. And as you know, this is Ryan at work for By Lainey • Oct 27, 2014 10:43 am

They were said to be estranged when Demi fell apart after Ashton Kutcher cheated on her and their marriage ended.

Media Manipulation Jim Sturgess for Mr Porter It’s been a while. Not that Jim Sturgess hasn’t been working. It’s just that, well, none of what he’s been working on has been very high profile. With several films due for release over the last year, Sturgess is making some moves. He wants to be By Lainey • Oct 24, 2014 10:01 am
Gorgessity Oh hi Lupita! It’s been a while since I posted about Lupita. There haven’t been many new pictures. Look! New pictures! Lupita was in London last night at the opening of the Bally’s flagship. Of course, the entire look was on point. The coat over the shoulders. But then when By Lainey • Oct 23, 2014 03:01 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The Age of Ultron is here The trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron wasn’t supposed to debut until Tuesday during an episode of Agents of SHIELD, but it leaked online yesterday, no doubt thanks to Hydra.

Media Manipulation Bradley Pitts Between Two Ferns Brad Pitt really wants you to see Fury. The small details are what get me initially. Like how they Scotch tape the microphones on this show. It’s a slow build. The first two minutes aren’t all that exciting. But then. Zach Galifianakis goes for it. I mean, sure, By Lainey • Oct 23, 2014 09:37 am
BFFs Anne Hathaway reads faster than the McConnaissance I just read an interview at the New York Times with Jessica Chastain, Matthew McConaughey, and Anne Hathaway. They’re promoting Interstellar. As you’d expect, McConaughey manages to drop the “Prime Mover” into the discussion again. Naturally. Nothing super gossipy here, just a few interesting observations. For instance, Annie By Lainey • Oct 22, 2014 04:12 pm
Media Manipulation More honours for Matthew McConaughey Matthew McConaughey received the American Cinematheque Award last night in Hollywood and it was a strong turnout. The timing is great too. Not only because he’s winning everything (but the Emmy), but also because Interstellar comes out soon, one of most highly anticipated films of the year. Of over By Lainey • Oct 22, 2014 01:24 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Regal Cumberbatch Check out Benedict Cumberbatch on the set of the Hollow Crown yesterday in England. As you know, I don’t crank for Cumberbatch.
