Jaden and Willow Smith interviewed by Pharrell for Interview Magazine cover profile

It's like Jaden and Willow Smith knew I was having a sh-tty week. It's like they collectively decided to pose for an UNREAL post-apocalyptic photo spread and take part in a new joint feature in Interview magazine as a gift, specifically for me. It's Jaden and Willow in all of their Smithian weird...

Watching Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander fall in love in The Light Between Oceans

Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander will walk their first red carpet together tomorrow at the worldwide premiere of The Light Between Oceans at the Venice Film Festival (the premiere of Steve Jobs at NYFF last October does not necessarily count). It's interesting too, because this is the movie...

Meryl Streep in Florence Foster Jenkins movie review

The catch-up continues with Meryl Streep’s latest Oscar vehicle, Florence Foster Jenkins. I want to sh*t on this movie for being too saccharine and unevenly balanced between its two leads, but this movie is explicitly about NOT sh*itting on people who are trying really hard, even if they fall sho...

Miles Teller and Jonah Hill in War Dogs movie review

Playing a little catch up as we close out August, starting with Todd Phillips’ latest bro-nightmare movie, War Dogs. For a director known for comedies—namely The Hangover trilogy, but also Road Trip, Old School, and Due Date, among others—Phillips doesn’t seem to like directing comedies. He got s...

Living for Drake's love for Rihanna as VMA backstage videos show them being affectionate with each other

I spent last night reading up on all the Drake Loves Rihanna So Much articles, obsessively. Seemed like every outlet, every website had one going. VOGUE. And Vox. And then there were all the articles about whether or not she friendzoned him – the Daily Beast seems to think so. GQ took the opportu...

The Get Down review

I feel like I should apologize for not getting to The Get Down sooner. But now that I’m here, I’m looking around what feels like a mostly empty room and wondering where everyone else is.

In her extremely limited time on stage last night, Rita Ora was trying the most. She was straining for a “moment” with Ansel Elgort.

Coincidence or conspiracy that Taylor Swift had jury duty during the MTV VMAs?

Taylor Swift was never scheduled to attend the VMAs as we heard last week although every self-respecting gossip was hoping for some kind of Kanye surprise. From him, totally. From her?

Beyoncé steps out with Jay Z for dinner in New York after the 2016 MTV VMAs

I mean it really shouldn’t have been a thing that Jay Z wasn’t with Beyoncé at the VMAs last night, particularly when you consider what she was communicating through her presence and her performance.

Beyoncé's feminist symbolism as she performs Lemonade at 2016 MTV VMAs

Kanye West presents new music video, Fade, at the 2016 MTV VMAs

If you didn’t know Teyana Taylor before last night, now you know. I’m starting with Teyana because the VMAs belonged to black women.

Britney Spears MTV VMA 2016 performance

How do we properly assess the performance of Britney Spears last night? Knowing what she’s gone through, is it the gentle approach?

Nick Jonas performs Bacon at the 2016 MTV VMAs

That’s not a euphemism. Nick Jonas performed a song called Bacon last night at the VMAs. His performance opened with him in a kitchen, holding a fresh plate of bacon. This is how most of my daydreams about Nick also open. The performance went downhill from there. Nick goes from the kitchen to...

Bryce Dallas Howard, Robert Redford, and Wes Bentley in Pete's Dragon movie review

So far, it’s been kind of a sh*t year for film.

Britney Spears promotes new album, Glory, on Carpool Karaoke with James Corden

Amy Schumer's feminist problems as she blocks people on Twitter for calling out professional relationship with writer Kurt Metzger

Matthew McConaughey and Charlize Theron in Kubo and the Two Strings movie review

The animation house Laika makes beautiful jewel-box movies, all done in distinctively macabre stop-motion animation, and even when their aesthetic leans into “ugly on purpose” territory—as in their two previous films, ParaNorman and The Boxtrolls—their films are visually stunning. Their latest is...

Jennifer Lopez reportedly broke up with Casper Smart because he bailed on her to hang with his boys at UFC

PEOPLE and TMZ both reported yesterday that Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart broke up. TMZ then followed up with the reason.

Scott Eastwood makes former girlfriend's death about himself in GQ Australia cover profile

Scott Eastwood is featured in Australia GQ’s September issue—in a somewhat telling play, he’s on the alternate subscriber cover while Jake Gyllenhaal covers the newsstand copy.

Winona Ryder and Millie Bobby Brown interviewed by Variety for Stranger Things

Have you watched Stranger Things yet? You know, the hit show of the summer? I remember texting Sarah around the 2nd episode because of Eleven, played by Millie Bobby Brown. She’s magic. And her face. That face! You know who else’s face we “that face!” about and have been for years? Winona Ryd...

Ryan Lochte issues official apology after lying about being held at gunpoint in Brazil

Before we get into this Ryan Lochte mess, how about a throwback? To my favourite Ryan Lochte article written by Erin Gloria Ryan for Jezebel after the London Games, 10 Reasons Why Ryan Lochte Is America’s Sexiest Douchebag. I still become hysterical every time I read her “stop” for #7. Back t...

Amber Heard donates all of the $7 million she received in divorce settlement

Earlier this week, Amber Heard and Johnny Depp reached a settlement and released a statement.

Basically: she was abused by her hu...

Don't Think Twice movie review

Comedian Mike Birbiglia’s feature film debut as a writer/director, Sleepwalk With Me, is a fantastic film, and his sophomore effort, Don’t Think Twice, is even better.

CBS releases trailer for new true crime drama, The Case of JonBenet Ramsey

I’m reading a whodunit right now where, halfway through, we’re beginning to turn our eyes on the sweetest, most innocent one.

Justin Timberlake invokes Britney Spears while discussing Cry Me a River in Vanity Fair Italia to promote Trolls

Back in July, in a post about Taylor Swift, I wondered why she gets called petty for writing songs about her exes while we are forced to incessantly applaud Justin Timberlake and his ringlets, now relaxed, like demented cheerleaders.

The Magnificent Seven remake starring Denzel Washington and Chris Pratt opens next month, so the publicity machine is clicking into high gear.

More and more celebrities are calling on each other to do the #22pushupchallenge, raising awareness for the 22 veterans a day who die by suicide. Please note those words, “die by suicide”.

Sam and Aaron Taylor-Johnson hold hands while out for a walk in New York

A quick update on My Obsession: last week I posted about Aaron Taylor-Johnson on his own at that HFPA event in LA and how rare it was to see him without Sam. But, as mentioned, there was no reason to worry. My words have turned into pictures now because yesterday Sam and Aaron were in New York to...

Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter holding hands in LA and Vox piece on Social Justice, shipping and ideology

Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter were in LA this week showing some affection. I’m glad. Because the timing works out well for me. We’ll get to that in a minute. For conspiracy theorists who don’t believe their marriage is legit though, this presents a problem. You’ll recall, these are the C...

Smutty Social Media, August 9, 2016

I like Anne’s musings on jean shorts much more than I liked her defense of Jennifer Lawrence.   There is no shame in gaining weight during pregnancy (or ever). There is no shame if it takes longer than you think it will to lose the weight (if you want to lose it at ...

Kevin Spacey and Jennifer Garner in Nine Lives movie review

The ordeal began with a trip to the ticket window. The movie in question, Nine Lives, had not screened for critics, so I had to pay actual money to see the movie in which Kevin Spacey gets turned into a cat. As I was paying to see the movie in which Kevin Spacey gets turned into a cat, I could no...

Justin Timerblake posts Instagram photo of NSYNC celebrating JC Chasez's 40th birthday

Next year marks the 15th anniversary of the end of *NSYNC. Last night marked the 40th birthday of JC Chasez. And all members of *NSYNC showed up…including Justin Timberlake who, as you know, because he’s a big f-cking deal on his own, cherry-picks his *NSYNC reunion opportunities for when they su...

Matthew McConaughey in new trailer for The Sea of Trees isn't doing much to instill confidence in the film

A new trailer for Matthew McConaughey’s latest movie, Sea of Trees, came out yesterday. Sea of Trees premiered at Cannes last year, where it did not go over well, and while that audience can be a bit boo-happy, in this case, the ensuing reviews were pretty uniformly terrible, too. (IndieWire call...

Slytherin Taylor Swift out in New York as Tom Hiddleston works on Thor 3 in Australia, and The Cursed Child podcast with Duana

After partying with her trust fund baby friends in the Hamptons on Saturday, Taylor Swift is now in New York City, resuming the catwalk outside her apartment, going back to her natural curls. It’s now been over a week since the separation of Swoki, with Taylor back in the US and Tom Hiddleston in...

Leslie Jones confirmed to be heading to Rio Olympics as a contributor for NBC

Leslie Jones confirmed on Twitter yesterday that she will indeed be heading to Rio for the Olympics.

Dwayne The Rock Johnson calls out Fast and Furious co-stars as "Chicken Sh-t Candy Asses" on Instagram

Dwayne The Rock Johnson posted a message to Instagram yesterday. Basically a blind item.   This is my final week of shooting #FastAndFurious8. There's no other franchise that gets my blood boiling more than this one. An incredible hard working crew. UNIVERSAL has be...

Intro for August 9, 2016

Dear Gossips, I posted on Friday that women are expected to be the superstars of these Games. And so far, the women have been glorious. In its debut at the Olympics, Women’s Rugby Sevens has become a marquee sport and I love what Canada’s team captain Jen Kish said about the sport after winni...

Britney Spears on holiday in Hawaii two weeks ahead of release of Glory and the VMAs

Britney Spears was on holiday in Hawaii last week and shared several photos and video of herself on the beach and on the private yacht with her kids.   Another great day! A video posted by Britney Spears (@britneyspears) on Aug 4, 2016 at 5:05pm PDT ...

Orlando Bloom fondling Katy Perry on vacation after Justin Bieber and his own nude photos are released and compared

Nine months after the world met Justin Bieber’s dick, we were introduced to Orlando Bloom’s last week. Thank you paparazzi. Let’s come back to the paps in a minute. For now, it’s the celebrity dick-off. And since Orly and JB have history, JB decided to respond with some updated cock shots of his ...

Winona Ryder on her supersensitivity in New York Magazine cover profile

Have you finished Stranger Things yet? Stranger Things is the hit of the summer. And while it’s not a perfect series, as Sarah writes in her review, it’s a compulsively watchable – and terrifying, at least for me – show that stars Winona Ryder. This is great for Winona Ryder. Or, maybe, it’s grea...

Scott Eastwood says his agents didn't want him to appear in Taylor Swift's Wildest Dreams music video

It’s exhausting. Or maybe it’s not. Maybe it’s the opposite of exhausting to be that stupid. The last time we caught up with Scott Eastwood he was narcing on other actors, in front of his dad,  like the principal’s tattle-tale son, for staying in their trailers all day instead of hanging out ...

Taylor Swift and Nelly perform Dilemma at Michael Hess's birthday party in the Hamptons with Karlie Kloss

Gwyneth and Beyoncé were in the Hamptons this weekend and so was Taylor Swift. On Saturday night, Taylor was with Karlie Kloss at Michael Hess’s 30th birthday party. Nelly performed and pulled Taylor up on stage to duet on Dilemma with him.   #taylorswift #nelly #ta...

American Olympic athletes Alex Naddour and Michael Phelps have cupping bruises like Gwyneth Paltrow did in 2004

On Saturday in Rio, American gymnast Alex Naddour competed in the team qualification with circular marks on his arms and back. Yesterday Michael Phelps competed in the men’s 4x100 freestyle relay with similar looking marks. Obviously, for me, this was the first person who came t...

Leslie Jones's Olympic Twitter is an unexpected bonus of the Rio Games

In case you hadn’t picked up it on over the last decade-plus (if you’ve been visiting this blog that long) or in the weeks leading up to the Games, I am an Olympic junkie. Yesterday I yelled at Duana – on her birthday! – over text because she messaged me during swimming primetime to tell me to tu...

Jared Leto won't take responsibility for Suicide Squad's negative reception because a lot of Joker footage was cut

As Sarah just wrote, Suicide Squad opened big this weekend despite sh-tty reviews but they’re already forecasting a possible 60% drop-off next weekend. Whoever you want to blame for that though, do not point the finger at Jared Leto, the Third Best Joker. Because he’s not in it enough to shoulder...

Suicide Squad shatters August box office records despite dismal reviews and unenthusiastic word of mouth

Suicide Squad shattered the August box office records, raking in $135 million for the biggest August opening weekend, breaking Guardians of the Galaxy’s previous record of $94.1 million. (And oh, is everyone at Warner Brothers ecstatic to take down a Marvel record.) Box office numbers can mean an...

Intro for August 8, 2016

Dear Gossips, A week ago today The New York Times reported that Frank Ocean’s long-awaited album, the follow-up to his acclaimed Channel Orange, would finally be released on Friday. The New York Times is a pretty f-cking legit source. But Friday came and went – no album. People now believe, b...

On the Chinese calendar, today, 8-8, is considered the luckiest day of the year. Maybe some of this luck will touch Max the German Shepherd. Max is 18. 18!!!

Aaron Taylor-Johnson looks beefy at the Hollywood Foreign Press gala without wife Sam

Aaron Taylor-Johnson was at the HFPA event last night too. But….when was the last time you saw him on a carpet with Sam? I’m sure it’s happened. I just can’t remember. Because they are always, always together. Not that there’s reason to worry. They’re fine. They were fine a week ago on his In...

Justin Timberlake sucks up for Golden Globes at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association gala

I couldn’t help it! I’m sorry! It’s Friday and I’m 6 hours from the weekend and a nice break and I can’t contain the bad jokes. Justin Timberlake was at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association event last night too. As I mentioned in the post about Emma Stone, everyone’s there to suck up for G...

Emma Stone at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's grants banquet ahead of Venice Film Festival premiere of La La Land

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association held its grants banquet in Beverly Hills last night and there were some big names who showed up in the name of charity but with the side benefit (or maybe main benefit) of Golden Globes. Come on, now. Please don’t try to tell me that you’re unfamiliar with ...

Drake takes Rihanna on a date to Toronto’s Ripley’s Aquarium

Drake and Rihanna performed at Madison Square Garden last night. But I’m here to tell you about when Drake was at home in Toronto last weekend for OVO Fest with Rihanna. As mentioned a few days ago, Rihanna joined Drake on stage both nights at OVO, using her days off from her own tour to show...

First teaser for Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk does not feature Harry Styles

Christopher Nolan’s next film is a World War II drama called Dunkirk, and while it features the usual suspects when it comes to Nolan—Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy—it also marks the feature film debut of Harry Styles. I do not like One Direction, and I resent having the awareness of Harry Styles thru...

Tracee Ellis Ross and Anthony Anderson promote Black-ish at the TCAs with the rest of the cast

I think I’ve made it pretty clear here on this site how much I love Black-ish. It’s my favourite comedy. It takes up space that I don’t give out easily on the PVR. Jacek and I watch Black-ish together every week. He actually gets pissed if he’s out and I start it without him. There are times when...

Mariah Carey shares her champagne while promoting Mariah's World at the TCAs

Mimi was at the TCAs yesterday to promote her new “docuseries”. As she kept insisting to reporters there, don’t call it a reality show because what is reality? “I don’t know what reality is — literally. In terms of real and reality.” She has a point. Can you honestly tell me that Mimi’s “...

Nick Cannon and Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas reportedly dating

Nick Cannon and Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas from TLC are a thing, according to Page Six. I didn’t know I cared until I saw this headline and squealed a little bit inside, which was a surprise because I always thought I was holding out hope for an Usher/ Chilli reunion. Remember when they had it bad f...

Emma Roberts and Dave Franco in Nerve movie review

Here’s a surprise—I really like Nerve! The trailer made this movie look dumb as sh*t, and it IS dumb, but it’s also really fun and actually pretty thrilling. Based on a novel by Jeanne Ryan (adapted by Jessica Sharzer, Speak), and directed by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman (of Catfish fame), Nerv...

Orlando Bloom photographed paddleboarding naked with Katy Perry in Sardinia

When was the last time anyone cared about Orlando Bloom’s work? Orlando Bloom is at the top of no one’s list of actors for any given project. For the last almost 10 years, any conversation about Orlando Bloom involves his personal life: married to Miranda Kerr, trying to beat Justin Bieber’s ass,...

Clint and Scott Eastwood cover new issue of Esquire for joint interview

Every day on the news there is evidence that we are living in some dark times. Clint Eastwood calls it the “Pussy Generation”. Which...is a great name. Like, based on the name alone, being part of the “Pussy Generation” doesn’t seem like it would suck. Of course that’s not how he intended it ...

Mandy Moore promotes This Is Us at the TCAs and talks about how divorce from Ryan Adams opened her career up

There were four of them in the late 90s/early 2000s, right? Britney, Christina, Jessica Simpson, and Mandy Moore. Mandy got into movies but after the modest success of A Walk To Remember, none of her movies went anywhere. And none of her tv projects seemed to go anywhere either. This week Man...

Britney Spears announces new album, Glory

Britney Spears is not the artist who drops an album without warning or the one who makes us watch them cut planks of wood for hours for no apparent reason (WTF, FRANK OCEAN).  Call it old school but Britney does it the traditional way: with teaser clips, lead singles, Kimmel pranks and cover reve...

Dear Gossips, Here’s my favourite tweet from yesterday: In case you missed it, I am obsessed with Simone Biles. And it’s not just because I’m obsessed with gymnasts and she just might be the best gymnast ever, of all time. But also because I’m obsessed with Teen Life. And that tweet ...

Scott Eastwood's douche-bro face on Good Morning America while promoting Suicide Squad

Scott Eastwood was on Good Morning America today promoting Suicide Squad. In which, according to Sarah’s review, he is completely useless. He was eating before the interview.

Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton reportedly want to get married

Cover of the new issue of US Weekly and even though it doesn’t say this on the cover, inside the magazine reports that, according to a source, “getting married is a priority” for Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton.

Alarm bells go off as it's reported that Rogue One reshoots took five weeks with new filmmaker involved in editing

A few months ago there was a report that Rogue One, the Star Wars spin-off, was undergoing weeks of additional photography, and that the brass at Disney were in a “panic” over an initial cut of the movie not testing well. That whole report seemed fishy to me, not because I don’t believe the resho...

Leonardo DiCaprio dances in Greece with Nina Agdal

Leonardo DiCaprio was biking around New York yesterday. I know these photos make it look like he was by himself but that’s ridiculous, because he was flanked by the Wolf Pack, also on their bikes, in Wolf Pack formation.

Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them sequel announced for 2018 release

Intro for August 3, 2016

Dear Gossips, Suicide Squad is opening this weekend. The reviews started coming out yesterday. And the reviews aren’t great. Vanity Fair actually says it’s worse than Fantastic Four, the box office abomination of August 2015 that opened the same weekend. This might be an exaggeration. But the...

Matt Damon in Jason Bourne movie review

Channing Tatum to star as mermaid in Splash remake with Jillian Bell

A while back there was an announcement that there would be a remake of Splash, the 1984 mermaid-themed rom-com that convinced a generation that if we just spent enough time in the tub we, too, would turn into a mermaid like Madison.

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth sing Justin Bieber's Love Yourself in new Instagram video

Kanye West cries in new music video for Wolves, which is also Balmain’s 2016 Fall ad campaign
