Baby and Bump Obsession Ben before BAFTA The BAFTAs are happening on Sunday. WHY DOES IT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE THE SAME DAY AS THE GRAMMYS?!?! And it’s Chinese New Year on Sunday. So Monday will be busy here. But I might be a bit slow getting going because of the celebrations. Anyway, Ben Affleck’s By Lainey • Feb 07, 2013 04:15 pm
Oscars 2013 So is he taking his shirt off? The Academy announced yesterday that Channing Tatum (along with Charlize Theron, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Daniel Radcliffe) will participate in the Oscar telecast on February 24.

Oscars 2013 Is Hugh gaining on DDL? It was always a long-shot, my prediction that Hugh Jackman will win Best Actor for Jean Valjean in Les Miserables. If it were any other year, a non-DDL year, his chances would be a lot better. But, well, you know Daniel Day-Lewis. Still... I’m staying with my bet. And By Lainey • Feb 05, 2013 10:22 am
