But increasingly, By Sarah • Jan 06, 2014 01:02 pm
Baby and Bump Obsession Emily Blunt: New Year Blonde Why hadn’t I noticed how blonde she’s become? She was blonde 3 weeks ago when I last posted photos of her. It was tied up then, maybe that’s why.

Movie Reviews and Previews Friends with The Other Woman I think maybe I have too much holiday cheer. Because I just watched the first trailer for The Other Woman starring Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, Kate Upton, and Jaime Lannister and…my first reaction wasn’t “it sucks”.

Bad Style The Mara sisters at Her premiere Kate Mara showed up at the Los Angeles premiere of Her last night to support her sister, Rooney. It’s a thing now with these two.
