[LaineyGossip.com - Calling all smuthounds!] Wednesday, April 20, 2016 [Intro for April 20, 2016] [Oscar Isaac and BB-8 in Star Wars: Force For Change video] Dear Gossips, As we’ve seen, Beyoncé knows how to hold back, make us miss her. You know who doesn’t know how – or want – to hold back and make you (not me) miss him? The Kardashian of Droids, BB-8. Not a week goes by without BB-8 meeting a dignitary or turning out on a talk show. Or releasing a video. This time with Poe Dameron, Oscar Isaac, I SAW HIM FIRST. It’s for a good cause. It’s the latest installment of Star Wars: Force For Change, in support of UNICEF Kid Power. So it’s philanthropy. It’s giving back to the community. Watch BB-8’s reaction though when he finds out what the prize pack is. Naturally (because he’s a famewhore!) his first thought is for himself, like whether or not that means he’s losing on camera time. As IF the new first star of Star Wars would ever be benched. As IF they would ever reduce his precious screen time. We all had a hand in creating Justin Bieber. And now you all have a hand in creating BB-8. I hope you’re happy. Yours in gossip, Lainey [Click here for the rest of the photos.] Posted at 1:32 PM [Gwyneth dances with the children] [Gwyneth Paltrow appears on The Late Late Show with James Corden, April 19, 2016] [Gwyneth Paltrow] on [James Corden] last night to promote her book. He teased her a bit during the interview about the pussy steaming and the bee stinging for beauty but, really, the highlight was the piece they did together pretending to be in a new-craze dance class taught by kids. These kids are SO cute which means you’re already halfway there but then it’s also G’s commitment. When she starts jumping up and down and givin’er at the 40 second mark, she’s cute too! Gwyneth Paltrow! Cute! No? Am I just blinded by the outfit? The outfit is cute as f-ck. And she looks really good right now. Really, really good. Sorry. You need to wash down all that GP positivity with some hate, right? Reviews for her cookbook. Some are surprisingly good. Some are like…and? That’s it? I’ve flipped through it a few times now, and for a book called It’s All Easy, it’s actually kinda terrifying. At least for someone who isn’t an accomplished home cook. If you’re promising “easy”, WHO is it supposed to be “easy” for? Half the sh-t in some of the recipes I’ve never heard of. And also, I don’t think I have half the kitchen tools required either. Do I need a Vitamix? Like in life? I have a food processor. It was almost $300. If I get a Vitamix does that make my food processor irrelevant? This is the fight Jacek and I have been having. He’s, like, you don’t need a Vitamix, it’s just going to sit there and be expensive and you won’t even use it to its full capabilities. And I’m like, but it’s so shiny and cool and I love watching all the demonstrations!

It’s Jane the Virgin/Younger/Two Broke Girls/Empire hair – Julia Ruben wrote about “TV hair” [for Racked] and it was eye opening for me.

Gwen tagged her stylist, but according to Braids by [@ _mskia_] it’s her work. The braids are the entire style, it’s a look. This is why Gwen keeps posting photos of her hair. So why not give the tag where the tag is due?

This year..... [Jennifer Aniston]. It's the second time PEOPLE has named her their Most Beautiful. Last time was in 2004. And she has a new movie opening just in time. Mother's Day comes out next week. Which is why, oh gosh, all of this just worked out so perfectly, you know? From an editorial and marketing perspective, you can understand why this was the decision. PEOPLE caters to the MiniVan Majority. And Jennifer Aniston has been the Minivan Majority's favourite for 20 years. Also you know the target audience for the movie, Mother's Day. MiniVan Majority. With all that in mind, who else would it be? And, of course, she accepted. The Most Beautiful is not unlike the Sexiest Man Alive that way in that the title holder has to agree to it and agree to a photo shoot and an interview. I've embedded the video below. You recognise that outfit? It's what she was wearing during the Mother's Day junket a couple of weeks ago. PEOPLE didn't get invited to her home for a cosy chat on her couch. And not even during the photo shoot. Does she seem kind of, like, embarrassed about it to you?

He’s now in Berlin for promotion and went shopping for his kid before meeting up for lunch with [Daniel Bruhl]. Civil War opens next weekend. The reviews have been strong. Very, very strong. And so the box office projections are beginning. Right now they’re saying $175-180 million. But Sarah told me the other night that could be purposefully conservative because they’re actually thinking Civil War will go over $200 million. Whatever the actual number, it’s going to be massive. Which is massive for RDJ too. Because remember, he has the biggest back end deal of all the Avengers. Anyway, while Team Iron is looking after Europe, Team Cap, those goody-goodies, has been in Asia. I would post these shots but they’re extra charge and I’m #TeamIronMan so I’m not spending money on them. What? I never said I wasn’t petty. You can see them here – [click].

Well now there’s a remake of the remake, directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring [Denzel Washington], [Chris Pratt], and [Ethan Hawke]. The first trailer for The Magnificent Seven was just released, and yeah, I’m sold. Denzel Washington is a goddamn Movie Star and is here to remind you of it, and he and Fuqua, even when delivering at the B-movie level (The Equalizer), bring out the best in each other. And OF COURSE Chris Pratt looks great as a gunslinger. At this point I don’t think there’s anything he can’t do and he should just star in every movie. They’re joined by Vincent D’Onofrio, Manuel Garcia Rulfo, Lee Byung-hun, and Martin Sensmeier, a Native American actor. We don’t really get to see much of Lee and Sensmeier in action, but I like the look of both, especially Sensmeier. He’s a relative newcomer, so I’m really excited to see new Native talent on screen. (I love Adam Beach, but he can’t play all the Native roles.) And it just plain looks FUN. Fuqua has assembled a murderer’s row of talent, and he’s also done a solid job of casting a Western that meets our contemporary demands of movies—this is a diverse group of outlaws and gunfighters. And it looks like Haley Bennett’s damsel in distress won’t be sitting on the sidelines, either, which means that the story of a group of mercenaries who try to protect a town is now about the marginalized and oppressed fighting back against the greed and tyranny that followed in Manifest Destiny’s wake. I am very into this. Attached - Chris Pratt and Antoine Fuqua presenting The Magnificent Seven at CinemaCon last week.

Well, from one megalomaniac to another… Big G really does love a photoshoot, doesn’t he? I mean if ever there was a child who came alive for the camera... So here he is, Big Prince George, with [Queen Elizabeth], [Prince Charles], and [Prince William] to commemorate Her Majesty’s 90th birthday tomorrow – four generations of Windsors in one sitting or, one standing, which I’m sure is why Big G is feeling extra big and bad in this shot, because the sensation of stepping on books, blocks, and heads is so familiar to him. I also like how he’s holding on to his dad’s hand like he’s his personal walking bitch. Mariah Carey’s looking at this pose like, I see you child. In honour of the Queen’s 90th, several senior members of the family have been praising her publicly, including William, who spoke to the BBC about their relationship and his attitude about work, directly addressing the reports that have been in the UK papers for weeks about how lazy he is. Nothing surprising here. Will is pretty much saying he’s taking time to parent two children and isn’t shirking his responsibilities but simply spending time carefully considering his future before beginning it. And that he has the full support of the current monarch and the next one: "My grandmother and my father are 150 percent supportive behind everything that I’m doing — and Harry and Catherine. They very much understand whilst my grandmother is still extremely active at the helm of the royal family, as the monarch [and] my father is incredibly busy with his charitable activities and other responsibilities, there’s the time now and the space to explore other means of doing a worthwhile job." Which is what I’ve always believed. That the Queen has never had a problem with Will doing jack f-ck all because, first of all, she’s always been indulgent and second, as far as she’s concerned, Will and Kate have two jobs: Make babies and …. Stay married. It’s never been laziness that’s troubled the royal brand. Marital discord is what the Queen abhors. Here she is today in Windsor to open a garden. I happened to be in Windsor last year on her birthday (hi Lorella!) and toured through the castle. God these people have a lot of dishes. Henry VIII’s armour is pretty spectacular. And the chapel, St George’s Chapel and the chapel of the super exclusive Order of the Garter - amazing to me how small and intimate it is. If you’re heading to England and you have time, spend the day in Windsor. The Long Walk is gorgeous. You feel like you’re in a movie.
