Movie Reviews and Previews Hidden Figures movie review Hidden Figures had a big opening weekend. There are no words to express how happy this makes me. The fact that this film made money has power.

Casey Affleck, Taraji P Henson, and the making of Oprah Jeff Bezos, the head of Amazon, and Matt Damon hosted a holiday party for Manchester By The Sea this weekend in LA.

Natalie Portman Intro for November 22, 2016 Dear Gossips, I love Annette Bening’s voice. And her diction. She speaks with such intention. And the sound of it is so rich, so thick, I feel like if she were reading to me I could remember every word. Interestingly, Taraji P Henson, during the same conversation, talks about By Lainey • Nov 22, 2016 08:55 am
LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Taraji is the AMAs Best Dressed I need this white shirt immediately. She’s wearing it with an exposed bra and a strong lip with strappy heels and I love her for it because not only is she all sex but she’s the sexiest and the most comfortable. There’s nothing more suggestive than what By Lainey • Nov 21, 2016 11:48 am
Business of Hollywood The Hollywood wage gap The wage gap is real. It exists in every industry, at every level of industry, but in the film industry the wage gap isn’t just a product of gender/racial bias, it’s also the result of a scaled compensation system that rewards stars more than anyone else.

Emmy Awards 2016 Taraji P Henson: Two Emmy Dresses I look forward to seeing Taraji P Henson on a carpet. I was really, really looking forward to seeing her on this carpet.

LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Taraji’s open back This is a cute flirty little dress that goes high up the neck and even though the material looks soft, there’s definition in the shoulder. Me, I would prefer if it didn’t have the party in the back because who needs to deal with bra dilemmas. Still, I By Lainey • Aug 10, 2016 01:04 pm
Celebrity Social Media Smutty Social Media, August 8, 2016 Jessica Biel’s restaurant Au Fudge was graced with a visit from Dembabies and the Elusive Chanteuse Butterfly. There are a lot of pillows, do you think her caravan includes an SUV full of extra pillows in case the seating options aren’t sufficient?

Celebrity Social Media Smutty Social Media, July 13, 2016 Let’s rate the performative coupling of 3 pairs: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Gwen and Blake, Taylor and Tom. I think, right now, Tom’s “presenting” of Katie and the couch jumping still haven’t been topped. But one day we will study the evolution of these photos, analyzing By Maria • Jul 13, 2016 05:26 pm

Celebrity Social Media Smutty Social Media, April 22, 2016 Pamela Anderson is bringing CJ back for the Baywatch movie. The Rock’s hashtags kill me.
