Media Manipulation Blake Lively > Johnny Depp? It was announced last month that Johnny Depp’s Mortdecai would be released in February – click here for a refresher. And then the trailer came out and, as Sarah pointed out, it made sense why they’d want to bury it there. Mortdecai looks like sh-t. Now they’ve moved By Lainey • Sep 25, 2014 11:45 am

Rolling Stone, Variety, People, The Guardian, all of them are into it. And especially Rosamund Pike’s performance as Amy Dunne.

Quiveration Handsome Jake eats alone Jake Gyllenhaal looked very handsome shooting a new film called Demolition at JFK airport in New York today. Jakey plays an investment banker so, I imagine, the wardrobe calls for no thick facial hair and really good clothes: a beautiful sweater, great pants, good shoes… Mostly though, I just like By Lainey • Sep 24, 2014 03:58 pm
Baby and Bump Obsession Brange goes bowling Brange is in Malta shooting By The Sea. They took four of the kids bowling on the weekend. Maddox and Pax evidently stayed back because they have their own schedules. The younger ones still want to hang with mom and dad. The younger ones aren’t embarrassed yet by dad’ By Lainey • Sep 22, 2014 11:13 am

Movie Reviews and Previews Ryan Reynolds back in the superhero saddle A couple months ago a test reel for a potential Deadpool movie leaked—accidentally on purpose—onto the internet. It featured Ryan Reynolds as the talkative mutant mercenary Deadpool (aka Wade Wilson), the beloved character that was so brutally murdered by X-Men: Origins: Wolverine (Punctuation!). But in the test reel— By Sarah • Sep 19, 2014 11:47 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Here comes Amy “I think she’s the best actress in the world right now” – what Jacek just said to me while I was watching the first trailer for Tim Burton’s Big Eyes about Amy Adams.

Movie Reviews and Previews The fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy I’ve been trying to tune out everything surrounding Star Wars: Episode VII by declaring my person to be a Zone of Willful Ignorance. It’s all just rumors and innuendo and mystery boxes and the JJ Abrams School of SECRETY SECRETS drives me f*cking nuts. Is Adam Driver By Sarah • Sep 19, 2014 10:58 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Oh my god—THE GUEST That was my only thought after I finished watching The Guest, starring Dan Stevens (and his abs). I had a visceral reaction to this movie. As soon as it was over I wanted to watch it again because I kind of couldn’t believe what I just saw. It’s By Sarah • Sep 19, 2014 09:48 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Rely on the hair Jennifer Aniston’s Cake was not acquired coming out of TIFF even though she received a standing ovation and didn’t wear a bra.

Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for September 18, 2014 Dear Gossips, So it was confirmed yesterday that Matthew McConaughey will not return for Magic Mike 2. The storyline is apparently a road trip, and either he wasn’t invited, or he didn’t want to get in the car. I’m thinking…he didn’t want to get in By Lainey • Sep 18, 2014 09:25 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Tom Hiddleston’s schedule shake up Remember that Ben-Hur remake that would pretty much only be watchable if it starred Tom Hiddleston? Well it’s no longer starring Tom Hiddleston. Instead it will star Jack Huston, which means I can stop caring about a February movie. Instead, Hiddles has jumped ship for Legendary’s King Kong By Sarah • Sep 17, 2014 11:16 am
Media Manipulation Chris Hemsworth’s post-Marvel moves Hollywood is suddenly obsessed with Hank Williams. It probably has a lot to do with the prolonged fight over the Hank Senior song catalog ending in 2011, or that the Hank Williams Estate, thus resolved, signed a huge licensing deal just last year.
