LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Salma’s BAFTA cuffs One of the best dresses Salma Hayek has worn in a while. I feel like the all-black dresses that we saw at the BAFTAs last night are a lot better than the options available for the Golden Globes? This is Gucci. It’s gorgeous and timeless.

Salma Hayek Smutty Social Media, April 27, 2017 Sarah once wrote about the joy of Val Kilmer’s Twitter feed. And his reddit AMA is a goddamn delight.
