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 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. As we’ve been discussing, repeatedly, at this point, an Oscar nomination is unlikely. But going By Lainey • Nov 17, 2014 01:32 pm
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 By Lainey • Nov 17, 2014 12:12 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Frederick Zoller will fight Captain America On Friday afternoon Marvel announced that Daniel Brühl will appear in Captain America: Civil War as a villain. The specific character is unknown, and Variety fanned the flames a bit by adding the tidbit that he may also appear in Dr. Strange, where his villainous character would have a larger By Sarah • Nov 17, 2014 11:50 am
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. Mostly though, Ben’s speech was about his By Lainey • Nov 17, 2014 09:07 am
Media Manipulation Brange at the Unbroken world premiere As promised, here are shots of the Brange arriving at the world premiere of Unbroken today in Sydney. Brad was previously in South Korea and Japan promoting Fury. Angelina, you’ll note, was in Malta directing By The Sea for most of the Fury promotion. They’ve managed though to By Lainey • Nov 17, 2014 08:39 am
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. Well, it’s definitely better than the first trailer, but I still wish they’d quit giving us a shot of him standing in front of that helicopter. It’s By Lainey • Nov 14, 2014 11:17 am
Amazingness The Batch is an impressionist There’s something about good actors also being good mimics. There’s some connection between being good at one and also being good at the other. It makes a certain kind of sense, especially given accent work and how being able to mimic would make mastering an accent easier. So By Sarah • Nov 14, 2014 11:01 am
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
Media Manipulation Jennifer Lawrence: no Dumb & Dumber to and next moves Jennifer Lawrence's interviews with David Letterman are always must-see TV. Brimming with confidence - sometimes with the help of a blanket - J.Law typically drops truth bombs on the show. Last night, she clearly identified Nicholas Hoult as her ex in a story about ghosts. But with the By Joanna • Nov 13, 2014 12:11 pm
Pitt "Porn" Brange's Australian meet-up? Here's Brad Pitt in Seoul, South Korea today at the premiere and press conference for Fury. He looks rested, a lot better than yesterday when he came off the flight -- click here for a refresher. I quite like this suit and the way the pants are fitting. The By Lainey • Nov 13, 2014 10:11 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Age of Ultron and the problem with supervillains A new, slightly extended Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer has hit and it includes a bit more action but also, more from James Spader’s Ultron. God, Spader has the best voice for this. Ultron has some great monologues and I can’t wait to hear Spader go to town By Sarah • Nov 13, 2014 09:41 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Hugh Grant, a goat, and Meryl Hugh Grant was in Austria yesterday at the opening of Gut Aiderbichl Christmas Market holding on to a goat. Is that a goat? I think he’s also promoting a movie. European press tours are so weird. Did you know he’s doing a movie with Meryl Streep next year? By Lainey • Nov 12, 2014 03:03 pm
Media Manipulation Joaquin Phoenix didn’t punch this guy Joaquin Phoenix is promoting Paul Thomas Anderson’s adaptation of Inherent Vice, which comes out next month in the outside position of award season. Never want to count out PTA—or Phoenix, who despite being anti-campaign consistently gets nominated—but it’s really starting to feel like anything coming By Sarah • Nov 12, 2014 01:31 pm
