Movie Reviews and Previews Two trailers, two bad titles,and a January release Love movie trailers. Hate getting to a movie late because I hate missing the trailers. Don’t understand why people complain about trailers. Even bad trailers. Bad trailers are 2 and a half minutes of saving your time later on. And you get to talk sh-t about it.

Baby and Bump Obsession Jay, Leo, Yankees, babies, Gatsby Jay-Z and Leonardo DiCaprio were in A-Rod’s seats in New York yesterday to watch the Yankees go down 3 games to 1 to the Rangers last night. Texas could finish them off tonight. Meanwhile Us Weekly is reporting exclusively that Jay and Beyonce are expecting. Apparently it was a By Lainey • Oct 20, 2010 03:19 am
Gorgessity Then and Now Last night it was Black Swan. I was underwhelmed with Natalie’s dress. It’s not sh-tty, it’s not jizzy, it’s just... ok? Maybe we built it up too much. Maybe they know it’s being built up too much. Maybe they’re trying to control the hype, By Lainey • Sep 14, 2010 04:54 am
Assy Style TIFF 2010 FASHION Written by Sasha For the last 5 years I’ve been working the Fashion beat at TIFF. And I’ll be honest: it’s sad seeing fashion that I can’t currently afford but it’s a cool way to get a few style cues from celebrities for the season By Lainey • Sep 10, 2010 07:15 am
Girly Throw Downs Natalie Portman > Scarjo & Blake Remember when Scarlett Johansson was considered to be the top candidate to replace Angelina Jolie in Gravity (about a woman stranded in space) co-starring Robert Downey Jr? Five minutes later, somehow Blake Lively who, at the time, was working with Scarjo’s husband Ryan Reynolds, was auditioning for the role, By Lainey • Sep 08, 2010 05:00 am
Assy Style Natalie surges ahead Black Swan opened the Venice Film Festival yesterday and the reviews have been largely positive. Even when they’re not positive, they’re not total sh-t either, and the critics who love it, really really do love it, some even going so far as to call Black Swan Darren Aronofsky’ By Lainey • Sep 02, 2010 03:53 am
Jessica Alba Venice tomorrow The film festival opens tomorrow with Black Swan as the official gala premiere and Machete at the midnight screening. So both Natalie Portman and Jessica Alba arrived today to promote their features.

Movie Reviews and Previews Single White Principal Dancer Have received many emails from you today asking for thoughts on the trailer for Black Swan starring Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis, directed by Darren Aronofsky, the follow-up to his acclaimed The Wrestler.

Movie Reviews and Previews The search for Lisbeth Salander It’s become the most coveted role in recent memory – Lisbeth Salander, the badass heroine of Stieg Larsson’s Millennium series now being, ugh, adapted for the screen in America ... because people won’t read subtitles. David Fincher’s heading up the remake and Daniel Craig was just confirmed this By Lainey • Jul 28, 2010 04:28 am
Famewhores One note Blake It was supposed to be the Comic-Con panel for The Green Lantern. Instead Blake Lively tried to make it about her breasts. Hard-ons aside, I mean, really, is it necessary? There were people who I interviewed in line waiting for hours, I mean hours, in the heat, they’d come By Lainey • Jul 26, 2010 07:59 am
Quiveration Natalie & Ashton vs Pip Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher were photographed today on set of their new movie. A romantic comedy about two friends who agree to do it without commitment. Weird. Sound familiar? Justin Timberlake is supposed to be making a movie based on the same premise with Mila Kunis. Sh-t. Don' By Lainey • May 10, 2010 10:37 am
Girlcrushes Please be Portman and not Lohan As I’ve already noted several times, for the last few months, they have successfully whipped me into a frenzy for Kick-Ass. It’s been a brilliant online campaign. And finally I’m seeing it at a screening later on this morning. Can’t wait. Unfortunately reviews have been embargoed By Lainey • Mar 23, 2010 03:34 am
Amazingness Soho House/Grey Goose Part 4 Only caught a quick glimpse of Natalie Portman and her new man. She is SO small. And that skirt is shorter than you think. The outfit also looks better than it photographs. Portman was having a word with Carey Mulligan. It was all I could do not to have a By Lainey • Mar 05, 2010 06:04 am
Quiveration Tobey & Leo BFFs They grew up in the business together, they’ve remained close after all these years. Last night Tobey Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio sat courtside on a boys’ night out at the Laker game. First time, perhaps ever, that Tobey has communicated with my quiver trigger. He’s hot, non? And By Lainey • Dec 23, 2009 03:07 am
Amazingness Best & Worst of 2009: Joaquin on Letterman Remember? He was still rapping in the early part 2009, falling off stages, getting into scraps with hecklers, his embarrassing “Bye Good” from acting obliterated the good will he’d earned from Walk the Line and other films, a respectable artist now reduced to a punchline, so low he was By Lainey • Dec 14, 2009 02:45 am
Jessica Biel Portman, Austen, and zombies Oh Shelfy loses another one. Natalie Portman continues to work, continues to land interesting scripts, while Jessica Biel, who desperately wants those opportunites, isn’t, doesn’t, can’t. Portman is currently shooting Black Swan in New York for Darren Aronofsky with Mila Kunis. She’s taking Hesher to Sundance By Lainey • Dec 11, 2009 09:21 am
