Yesterday I posted a Maverick throwback, and today Annabelle Wallis shared this from the set of The Mummy. We don’t get a lot of Tom on social media, but do you think he secretly uses Instagram? Is that frowned upon by the organization or is he “clear” enough to be able to do it anyway? ...

Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston hold hands and smile for the paps while out for dinner in Los Angeles

Mel Gibson returns as director for Hacksaw Ridge trailer starring Andrew Garfield

Are you ready for Mel Gibson to come back? No? Me either. But he is.

That means the film, Hacksaw Ridge, is prime Oscar bait,...

Serena Williams sings and says she wants to give Emma Stone tennis lessons in VOGUE's 73 Questions

73 Questions with Serena Williams! Serena is not an actor. So the flow here is probably not as “natural” as you might find with, say, someone like SJP. That said, it’s also no less awkward than Nicole Kidman’s. In fact, some Serena’s answers are total gold. For example, “Aubrey” comes up....

Katy Perry performs at the Democratic National Convention with Orlando Bloom watching in the audience

Let’s not fight over politics (today).

Kristen Stewart is an "icon of change" in cover profile of new issue of ELLE UK

Kristen Stewart covers the new issue of ELLE UK as what they call an “icon of change”. And they’re right. She has changed. She’s changed in the way many of us do when we move away from our early 20s. I remember, Keira Knightley was like this too. Remember? It was all existential drama and dark t-...

Stephen Colbert's Late Show ratings on the rise as CBS lets the show be more politically focused

Last month I wrote about Stephen Colbert’s struggle to adapt to the mainstream on The Late Show, and at that time I said, “Colbert is SO talented, and there’s no question he can hold down The Late Show—if The Late Show will just let him be Stephen Colbert.” Well, that’s exactly what they’ve done....

Mariah Carey covers Complex Magazine and reminds us that she is underestimated and undermined

Complex is the name of the magazine with a new Mimi interview. But, don’t laugh, it could also be a word we can use to describe how Mimi is portrayed in the interview. I know. You’re laughing. Because, well, Mimi, with all the not-walking and the general Mimi-ness of her elusiveness is no...

Teresa Palmer in Lights Out movie review

The dearth of good blockbusters this summer has left the cinematic landscape wide open for smaller films to rise to the top—call it the Summer of the Sleeper Hit.

Here’s a fun surprise—a movie that was not really on my radar, Star Trek Beyond, turned out to be the most fun and well-made summer action movie since Captain America: Civil War.

On Kristen Bell's cherry picking with the media as she releases wedding photos to promote Bad Moms

Last week, Lainey wrote about Mila Kunis revealing her former f-ckbuddy relationship with Ashton Kutcher on Howard Stern. It’s notable because Mila and Ashton are privacy scolds, except on the red carpet. And when she’s talking about her pregnancy on Ellen. Besides that, they are inscrutable! ...
