"It's a really personal project for me," says MacPherson, who grew up in L.A. and is...

It's been a week since the Oscars and one thing about it is still on my mind. There's been no story about how Hurt Locker director Kathryn Bigelow, 58, and screenwriter Mark Boal, 36, are together -- or at least that's what people in Hollywood seem to think is the...

Frank and Jamie McCourt, the estranged billionaire couple that owns the Dodgers, are going through one of the messiest divorces in history. In late February, details of their case hit the news, specifying extravagant personal expenses like Ms. McCourt's $248,000 monthly NetJets bill -- paid by the Dodgers -- and...

Today, the book Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough by Lori Gottlieb goes on sale, sure to start flying off the shelves faster than Manolos at a sample sale. It's already been snapped up for a Warner Brothers movie, starring Tobey Maguire (and written...

The HBO party after the Golden Globes was a hot enough ticket that invited guests waited on line for over an hour to get in--if they were lucky. Every year, the cable behemoth that traditionally cleans up at the ceremony hosts the decidedly coolest after party, poolside at the Beverly...

Welcome to the second edition of Facebrag, a game inspired by people who brag on Facebook or Twitter about their fab lives, provoking eye rolling and sometimes jealous rage among their peers -- even if their bragging is completely justified. One, screenwriter Jarrad Paul, started a spoof Twitter inspired by...

I went to see Jason Reitman's new movie, "Up in the Air" over the weekend and was impressed by the strong writing, acting and directing. It was so timely, too! An Oscar contender for sure! None of this is news. What is news is that this story about a...

This week, the art world was focused on Art Basel in Miami, but Matthew Marks has his sights set on another sunny clime. In about a year, his Manhattan blue chip gallery, which currently has three locations in Chelsea, will open an outpost in West Hollywood on North Orange Grove...

Oh Casey Johnson, what happened!?
Almost a decade ago, I wrote a coming out story about the cherub-faced Johnson & Johnson heiress. No, not that she was gay or at least bi-curious. That would come later in tabloid reports of her on-again-off-again flame, Courtenay Semel, who set Casey's hair...
