Movie Reviews and Previews Two Princes And not William and Harry. This is the set of Into The Woods in England. And that’s Billy Magnussen who plays Rapunzel’s prince with Chris Pine who plays Cinderella’s prince. These princes costumes are kinda rock’n’roll, non?

BFFs House Porn: George Clooney edition Maybe it’s because we have our own house now, but I’ve never been as into House Porn as I am now. Also, I have no eye for interiors. It’s weird because when it comes to clothing, I know exactly what I want. When it comes to where By Lainey • Oct 02, 2013 09:39 am
Quiveration See? James McAvoy I was juuuuust talking about him in the previous Johnny Depp post. And look! New photos! And no eye-roll. What's there to eye-roll about James McAvoy? Nothing.

BFFs Cam's holding hands with Jason It's on the set of their new movie, so don't get too excited. But still. She looks great. HE looks great. Like, when's the last time we talked about Jason Segel's jawline, right? If this is one of the side benefits of By Lainey • Oct 01, 2013 01:00 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Chris Hemsworth: Thor Forever? Despite an aggressive ad campaign that leaned heavily on Chris Hemsworth’s flowing blonde locks, Ron Howard’s movie about Formula 1 drivers, Rush, had a barely acceptable opening of just under $10.3 million. Starring Hemsworth and Daniel Bruhl, Rush is a decent movie, especially the racing scenes, but By Sarah • Oct 01, 2013 10:21 am

Style Katie’s new role, and it’s not tap dancing Did you catch that in Tina Fey’s monologue on Saturday Night Live? She was telling the new cast members that dancing for the host is part of the job.

Movie Reviews and Previews But why must it ALWAYS be girl sh*t? As Lainey says, girl sh*t is the best sh*t. It makes for great gossip. When it’s organic girl sh*t, occurring in the wild, I enjoy it as much as the next person. When I don’t enjoy it is when it’s manufactured bullsh*t meant By Sarah • Sep 27, 2013 02:48 pm
Music Adele’s Breakfast In Bed? Baz Bamigboye from the Daily Mail is reporting that Adele might play Dusty Springfield. It’s very early. There’s nothing confirmed.

Media Manipulation Michael B Jordan For Independence Day Sequel? You know that thing where your dog gets weird before a storm? I think you, me and the rest of us gossips have that same instinct for when a celebrity is being groomed and pushed on us as The Next Big Thing.

Movie Reviews and Previews Divergent: More Of The Same There's a new Divergent featurette. I mean, watch it, by all means – but it’s the same damn thing as we’ve seen before. Tris is Divergent! Lots of cutting between industrial street scenes and fight scenes! You really don’t know what’s going on, what a By Duana • Sep 26, 2013 01:16 pm
BFFs Brad & Shia went camping I love this story. US Weekly reports in its new issue that Brad Pitt and Shia LaBeouf, who are shooting a movie together called The Fury, had to go camping together with 3 other cast members as a bonding exercise.
