Emma, knowing she’d be standing rather a lot that day and displaying the intelligence you’d like to see in titled people, wore sneakers to the event
LAINEY GOSSIP – It’s getting harder and harder to tell if Justin Theroux’s role on Parks and Recreation was a wink at his own inflated persona or a glimpse into the future
