Girly Throw Downs Nicki Taylor (but not the model) And she was rolling along so smoothly. Taylor Swift. Friend of Everyone. Protector of Artists against Apple. It was world domination. And then…a MAJOR stumble. So the MTV VMA nominations came down yesterday. As expected, the Bad Blood video led the way with 9 nominations. Nicki Minaj’s Anaconda, By Lainey • Jul 22, 2015 09:35 am

Maple Leaf Rachel & Jake at the ESPYs Rachel McAdams and Jake Gyllenhaal presented at the ESPYs, though not together. She was paired on stage with Kiefer Sutherland. The internet, it seems, wants her to be paired with Jakey in real life. They do look cute as f-ck together, don’t they? Here’s how it went down By Lainey • Jul 16, 2015 11:03 am
Relationship Assumption Gwyneth: a lovers’ holiday These shots came out late Monday. And we weren’t able to get access to them until yesterday.

A few self-deprecating remarks here and there, looking weary, which elicited compassion, and talked about how he was perfect for the Batfleck role because he’s a “burnout”. Textbook. Then again, as Sarah told me, By Lainey • Jul 13, 2015 11:06 am
