Baby and Bump Obsession Beyonce’s Tree Of Life You see what I meant when I wrote last week -- click here for a refresher -- about the amateur obviousness of Beyonce’s film direction? The Tree Of Life. When the Blue Ivy Carter was born. How were you not pounding your couch? And pausing on her dewy “natural” By Lainey • Feb 18, 2013 12:01 pm
Amazingness Mimi declares ownership of Valentine’s Day Mimi’s already taken over Christmas and now she’s decided that Valentine’s Day must be hers too. Think of every Valentine’s Day cliché and convention. Red? Petals? Balloons? Butterflies? Bubbles? Carriage rides? Please. Mimi’s covered it all. She’s worth half a billion dollars and everything By Lainey • Feb 15, 2013 11:02 am
Dumbass Rooney Mara is shyyyyyyyyyyyy, OK? Rooney Mara and Jude Law are currently promoting Side Effects in Europe. Here they are yesterday at the Berlinale, photo call and premiere. She wore black and white Balenciaga for the daytime event, and black Valentino in the evening. Very strong styling. And smiling only with no teeth. Because as By Lainey • Feb 13, 2013 10:59 am
Amazingness Beyonce’s Life & Dreams Beyonce Beyonce, everywhere Beyonce. 2013 has been all about Beyonce. Tonight is President Obama’s State of the Union address. Will it be inspired by Beyonce? Here’s Beyonce on the cover of the March issue of Vogue which, gloat alert!, I reported back in December 21. The pictures are By Lainey • Feb 12, 2013 10:30 am
Maple Leaf Small town Blake & Ryan Far away from NY Fashion Week and award season, we find newlyweds Blake Lively and Reynolds in Sudbury, Ontario, a few hours’ drive north of Toronto where it’s currently -12˚C with the windchill. That’s 10˚F for you Americans. The other day it was -20˚C and By Lainey • Feb 11, 2013 08:15 am
Amazingness Beyonce can’t be ugly My favourite, favourite, FAVOURITE story of the week... So there’s Beyonce at the Super Bowl, destroying the stage with her thighs and wind machines. And the praise is universal. They raved. They marvelled. They called her the new King of Pop. And BuzzFeed offered this post at the altar By Lainey • Feb 06, 2013 10:29 am
Amazingness It was a lot of strutting I’ve spent the last 20 minutes trying to decide which moments from the Beyonce Bowl to turn into GIFs but there are too many. The whole performance was a GIF, non? There are too many facial expressions. There was too much weave-thrashing right up at the crowd. There are By Lainey • Feb 04, 2013 09:56 am
Douchebags Lady Gaga, Queen of the Universe Lady Gaga is being sued by her former assistant Jennifer O’Neill for almost $400K for overtime pay. Transcripts from a sworn deposition given in August were evidently obtained by the NY Post and some of Gaga’s comments are...explosive. It would certainly be more fair to read the By Lainey • Feb 01, 2013 01:18 pm
Top Reads Rihanna on getting back together with Chris Brown In her new interview with Rolling Stone, Rihanna has confirmed that she and Chris Brown are back together, exactly four years after he beat the sh-t out of her on Grammy weekend. This, of course, is not news, as we’ve all seen the pictures and her twitter, but she By Lainey • Feb 01, 2013 10:44 am
Top Reads Is there a game on Sunday? Beyonce did everything but levitate yesterday at her press conference. But then again, you know she’s saving it for the main show. That was just her opening act. Beyonce opens for herself. With the national anthem, live-live this time, and not just half-live, and now considered this year’s By Lainey • Feb 01, 2013 09:35 am
Top Reads Big Top Hollywood It’s a month to Oscar which means it’s time to yell at Vanity Fair for its annual Hollywood Issue. As always, the limited diversity that’s featured in this supposed celebration of the best of the industry is hidden behind the cover. Of course, yes, they suck for By Lainey • Jan 29, 2013 04:32 pm
Bad Style Annie’s speech problem Anne Hathaway’s speeches always start out good. Remember the Globes? And her tribute to Sally Field? That was good. Last night too. Last night she started out strong. She talked about her SAG membership, she expressed her love for her community. And if she had stopped there, we’d By Lainey • Jan 28, 2013 11:19 am
Media Manipulation In the absence of the Brange... This year we get the Afflecks... You know how hard the Afflecks have been working. Last night, from the moment they arrived, it was work time, did you see? Ben Affleck hit the carpet before Jennifer Garner did -- she must have been held up getting out of the car.

Top Reads Sheryl talks about Lance but doesn’t Have you noticed that all of Lance Armstrong’s loves look the same? Or, more precisely, they all look very similar to Kristin Armstrong, his first wife? Sheryl Crow and Tori Burch in particular have the same face. Lance is a very, very good liar and bully, but you know By Lainey • Jan 23, 2013 01:47 pm
Amazingness Sasha Fierce Lite Beyonce was remarkably restrained yesterday at the inauguration, don’t you think? Just imagine what it could have been: Instead of opening her number with her back to the million, legs spread apart, and an ass jiggle followed by a hair whip before singing the first bars of The Star By Lainey • Jan 22, 2013 12:42 pm
Break Ups Forecasting Britney As you know, she’s single again. Jason Trawick is no longer her boyfriend/conservator/business manager/baby-sitter. That position is now vacant. Which, I mean, it’s sad, totally, on so many levels. Because anyone who falls in love with her -- if one can truly fall in love By Lainey • Jan 22, 2013 11:49 am
