Why you have to watch Rachel Bloom in Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

We are immersed Peak TV, we all know it. There’s so many shows to watch. Westworld?  Haven’t touched it. Atlanta? Not yet, dying to see it. Walking Dead? I’m 2 seasons behind and refuse to say I don’t watch it. Mr. Robot and Better Call Saul? Piled up on my PVR. I get it. It would be ridiculo...

Hugh Jackman in first trailer for Logan which is like a perfect little movie unto itself

Before there was RDJ and Iron Man, there was Hugh Jackman and Wolverine, the perfect marriage of actor and character. Wolverine is the role that defines Jackman, as versatile a performer as you’ll ever find and yet he’s been Wolverine for sixteen years, which is a long f*cking time to play one ch...

Tom Cruise acts out film career with James Corden on The Late Late Show

Why is James Corden so much less annoying than Jimmy Fallon? Why did I ask such an annoying question? Sorry. Another annoying question though: do you think Jimmy Fallon is threatened by James Corden?

Allison Janney to star in Broadway revival of Six Degrees of Separation

If there is anyone in the world who doesn’t love Allison Janney, I don’t know about it or they have been sent into deep, deep hiding. Everyone loves her—because she can do everything.

Chris Pratt looks hotter than ever in Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2 sneak peak released on Twitter

A couple years ago, Guardians of the Galaxy was Marvel’s big risk, the high-concept uncertainty in their superhero line-up, but then it turned out to be a big hit and they’re basically bulletproof because of it. So the follow up, appended with “vol. 2”, has some big shoes to fill. James Gunn stay...

Ben Affleck in The Accountant movie review

The Accountant is dumb. It is so, so dumb, and I won’t try to defend it as anything other than a hella dumb movie.

Tom Cruise reminisces about Top Gun and talks about running with Jimmy Kimmel while promoting Jack Reacher 2

Jack Reacher: Never Stop Stopping, which is not the real title but the title of the underappreciated Andy Samberg parody film earlier this year, opens this weekend. So Tom Cruise is on press tour.

Casey Affleck's Oscar nomination odds for Manchester By The Sea not diminished by shady past with sexual harassment lawsuits unlike Nate Parker

Casey Affleck is the clear frontrunner for Best Actor this year, for Manchester by the Sea, and though Michael Keaton and Denzel Washington will have something to say about it, it’s such a weak year in that category that, even this early, it’s Affleck’s Oscar to lose. His way was cleared, of cour...

Michael Fassbender revamps Assassin’s Creed in second trailer with Marion Cotillard

The first trailer for Michael Fassbender’s Assassin’s Creed was not awesome.

Kristen Stewart is not sorry as she and St. Vincent are photographed holding hands and affectionate in New York

About six months ago, Kristen Stewart, who was dating Alicia Cargile at the time, stepped out very publicly with Soko. It was a short but intense affair.

The Hollywood wage gap is very real as both Taraji P. Henson and Gabrielle Union make headlines for seeking fair compensation for roles

Dear Gossips, “It’s just words.” Is it ever “just” words? What can be achieved by words? What is the damage that can be done by “just” words? I read an interview the other day, before “it’s just words” became an excuse, at The Atlantic with director Ava DuVernay. Her new documentary 13th ...

'The Girl on the Train' review starring Emily Blunt

Did you like Gone Girl? Didn’t you think Amazing Amy was just THE WORST, but also kind of cool? Do you like mysteries but not like, actually hard to solve or uncomfortable ones, but where the people you want to have done it, did it, and you don’t actually have to think too much about it afterward...

Sean Penn seen kissing 24 year old Leila George

Yesterday new photos of Sean Penn kissing Leila George on holiday in Hawaii were released. The photos were taken on October 1. Click here to see them. He is all up in her face. Then, last night, Sean and Leila stepped out together in LA for “An Evening With Sean Penn” at LACMA. According to US We...

Bruno Mars releases brand new single 24K Magic

Were we waiting for the return of Bruno Mars? I wasn’t. No disrespect to Bruno but I forgot about him. I'm not sure a four-time Grammy winning artist with a few of the biggest hit singles of the last decade can be underrated but I think that's where we are with Bruno Mars. We all know he’s great....

Smutty Social Media, October 7, 2016

Michael Bay and Mark Wahlberg are the first to welcome Sir Anthony Hopkins to Twitter. They are working on Transformers: Robots Explosions Tits (I’m just assuming that’s the title) together. Does Sir Anthony need a new vacation home? Always an honor to direct a legend like Sir @AnthonyHop...

Amy Adams and Emma Stone at the Mill Valley Film Festival for Arrival and La La Land

After the Venice Film Festival and TIFF, Emma Stone emerged as the current frontrunner for Oscar Best Actress for her work in La La Land. Amy Adams also generated some buzz for her performances in Nocturnal Animals and Arrival. We’re still four months away but we’re well into award season now and...

'Gold' trailer starring Matthew McConaughey

Matthew McConaughey has fallen into making two kinds of movies: 1) Serious award-baity fare, and 2) whatever the hell he was doing in Wolf of Wall Street. The first trailer for his new movie, Gold, was released yesterday and it definitely looks like it’s from the second category. McConaughey is s...

Usain Bolt and Harry Styles partied at the same club in London

Usain Bolt went to the Olympics and made history. He’s now considered one of the greatest athletes of all time. Usain makes it look so easy, so effortless, that sometimes it’s taken for granted how precise he is when he’s running, and how much knowledge has to go into the training and the prepara...

Nicholas Hoult to play Nikola Tesla in The Current War

The Current War, the Nikola Tesla movie that is somehow not about Nikola Tesla, has finally cast Nikola Tesla. At least we know he’s in this movie for sure. In a rather brilliant piece of casting, Nicholas Hoult will be playing Tesla, the genius inventor caught between two litigious businessmen, ...

HBO's funny and timely 'Insecure' premieres Sunday

On Friends, the titles of all the episodes started with “The one with…” On Issa Rae’s new HBO comedy, Insecure, premiering on Sunday, all the episode titles end with “as f-ck”.

Intro for October 7, 2016

Dear Gossips, Benedict Cumberbatch covers the new issue of Vanity Fair which, I guess, makes sense because Doctor Strange is coming out in a month and Marvel is money. But that doesn’t mean he’s the magazine’s best celebrity interview this month. Warren Beatty is the magazine’s best celebrity...

Michelle Williams, Jennifer Connelly, Alicia Vikander, and more at Louis Vuitton presentation at Paris Fashion Week

The Louis Vuitton presentation at Paris Fashion Week yesterday. Several of the LV regulars were there, including Michelle Williams, Jennifer Connelly, and Alicia Vikander.

Jenny Slate in My Blind Brother movie review

Nick Kroll of The Kroll Show fame stars as Bill, a sort of schlubby, vaguely depressed guy who, at the beginning of the movie, is completing a marathon with his athletic brother, Robbie (Adam Scott, Parks and Recreation). There’s a catch, though—Robbie is blind. And there’s another catch—he’s kin...

Natalie Portman in first trailer for Jackie

Jackie, starring Natalie Portman, was one of the major (few?) acquisitions at TIFF this year. Joanna screened and reviewed it at the festival and she enjoyed it. The film was sold to Fox Searchlight which is also distributing The Birth Of A Nation. Perhaps they needed another property to build an...

Netflix releases Gilmore Girls featurette and Luke's pop-up coffee shops on 16th anniversary of premiere of the show ahead of new episodes in November

There are times when you think of yourself as cool, and then there are times when you have to abandon the pretense that you ever were. Yesterday I stood in line in an empty mall waiting to get coffee from a fictional coffee shop in a tea shop (that used to be a video store), and I said goodby...

Beyoncé out in New York in pink Gucci outfit with only one Formation tour date left in New Jersey

Beyoncé stepped out in New York yesterday in Gucci, sweater and skirt. I love this outfit so f-cking much. But, and I say this in fear, I feel like the hat is too much. Isn’t it? There are now only one show left on the Formation tour. Beyoncé plays in New Jersey tomorrow night. If you have ti...

Mark Wahlberg in first trailer for Patriots Day directed by Peter Berg

Lainey calls Mark Wahlberg the “Hollywood enforcer” because he’s always playing super-jacked heroes and talking a big game about how he would have single-handedly stopped 9/11 if only he’d been on a plane that day. Well, the latest in Wahlberg’s Patriotic Hero series is Patriots Day, a movie abou...

Melissa Etheridge contacted by Angelina Jolie's team and given "subtle warning" after discussing Brange divorce with Andy Cohen

Melissa Etheridge has been sh-t-talking Angelina Jolie for years. She was friends with Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston when they were together. And when Brad and Jennifer divorce and he ended up with Angelina, Melissa was down with the MiniVan Majority’s condemnation of the alleged infidelity. Int...

Lena Dunham's open, thoughtful, and respectful interview with The Breakfast Club

My immediate reaction to The Breakfast Club’s tweet that Lena Dunham would be a guest on the famous hip-hop radio show yesterday was apprehension… and a bit of an eye roll. This is the same show Hillary Clinton visited and was subsequently accused of pandering to black people because of her “hot ...

Justin Timberlake tries to steal the spotlight from Robbie Williams on The Late Show with Graham Norton while promoting Trolls with Anna Kendrick

Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick were in London last week promoting Trolls. HOW MUCH LONGER DO THEY HAVE TO KEEP PROMOTING THIS MOVIE?!? Anyway, part of the press tour included an appearance on The Graham Norton Show. The other guests were Daniel Radcliffe and Robbie Williams. Dan told a g...

Kit Harington and Rose Leslie out together in Belfast where Game of Thrones is in production

According to the photo agency distributing these shots, there have been rumours lately about Kit Harington and Rose Leslie breaking up. I must have missed those rumours. And I'm grateful for that because it woulda been a waste of time. Here they are, together, in Belfast this week. Not broken up....

Kiefer Sutherland tells PEOPLE Magazine why he's decided to not give up alcohol in interview promoting Designated Survivor

When I first saw the headline “Why Kiefer Sutherland Decided Not to Give Up Alcohol” I had to read it a few times. Usually headlines like this refer to someone who has decided to quit drinking, not someone who has actively decided to keep boozing. But this is Kiefer Sutherland, someone who has no...

Taylor Kitsch on the set of American Assassin in London on the 10th anniversary of Friday Night Lights

Did you know that Friday Night Lights premiered 10 years ago this week? For some of us it’s been a decade of Clear Eyes and Full Hearts. For others, ahem, those of you who ignored my nagging and only just gave in recently, it’s been a couple of years. For all of us, it’s been …well… it’s been har...

Demi Lovato quits Twitter after shading Taylor Swift in interview with Glamour in cover profile

Demi Lovato’s new interview with Glamour is making headlines because: Taylor Swift. The popular headline is that Demi “slammed” or “shaded” Taylor, which… I’ll let you read the quotes for yourself. GLAMOUR: And you’ve said before, in regard to Taylor Swift, “Don’t brand yourself a feminist if...

Mille Bobby Brown's father reportedly demanding $100, 000 signing bonus from new agent

Lainey winced when she sent me the article. Because she knew. She knew I couldn't not know what I know now. Apparently, Millie Bobby Brown, of Stranger Things, who's being inundated with film and TV offers, is about to sign with a new agent. Before she does, though, her father is reportedly d...

Ben Affleck's critical schedule as it's confirmed Live By Night will open in limited release on Christmas Day

It was confirmed today that Ben Affleck’s Live By Night will open in limited release Christmas Day. Which is no surprise.

Cheeky Jennifer Garner jokes that she's with Brad Pitt now that he's available

Jennifer Garner was out the other day with a friend when the paps showed up. She was in a cheeky mood, because when they started pestering her about her love life, she joked that she’s with Brad Pitt, now that he’s available (via PopSugar): I mean, it’s a fun headline. And she obviously ...

Intro for October 5, 2016

Dear Gossips, Adele. ADELE! Adele let out last night just as the Jays and Orioles were in the 9th inning, tied. We made it home to see Edwin’s walk-off homerun. It almost felt as though she planned it that way – gave us a perfect performance and sent us away in time to finish the game. ...

Meg Ryan's New York loft featured in Architectural Digest

Yesterday, Lainey wrote about Johnny Depp’s apartment/expensive torture chamber. It’s a lot of sharp corners, cracks and brightly painted walls, basically my nightmare. The antidote to that? Meg Ryan’s New York loft, featured in November’s Architectural Digest (via PEOPLE). At first glance, I...

Robert Pattinson and FKA twigs head back to London after spending time in LA

FKA twigs and Robert Pattinson arrived in LA last week. They were seen at Drake’s after-party a couple of days later and yesterday they were back at LAX to return to London.

Kristen Stewart in burgundy suit at New York Film Festival premiere of Certain Women as St. Vincent is seen leaving her hotel

Kristen Stewart going full Brigitte Nielsen at the Certain Women premiere at the New York Film Festival last night. It’s a great look on her, even though I’m not big on the colour of this suit. Sarah reviewed Certain Women at TIFF – the breakout star of the film is Lily Gladstone. As for Kris...

HBO releases first trailer for The Young Pope starring Jude Law and Diane Keaton

The Sopranos, The Wire, Game of Thrones… HBO is  architect of what is now known as Peak TV. There are other brilliant shows on other great networks but HBO is expected to be A+ all the time, and don’t think they don’t know it. Case in point: the 45-second trailer for The Young Pope starring J...

Angelina Jolie adds two powerful lawyers to her legal team as Brad Pitt stays quiet about who he's working with

It was a pretty quiet weekend in World War Brange after it was reported on Friday that they’ve reached a temporary custody agreement.

Johnny Depp lists LA apartment for $12.7 million and it looks exactly like you would expect

A reader called Sarah emailed me a link to Johnny Depp’s LA apartment this morning. The penthouse is 11,500 square feet with 9 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms. An 11,000 sq ft apartment!

Scarlett Johansson's penis headband on the set of Rock That Body in New York

Scarlett Johansson is shooting Rock That Body at JFK airport in New York. It’s about a group of female friends on a stag weekend and sh-t goes sideways. If I had to guess I’d say this is the scene where Scarjo, presumably the bride, is saying goodbye to her fiancé? I’m assuming she’s the bride be...

Robert Pattinson and FKA twigs at Drake's after-party in LA

Good things happen when these three are in a post together. FKA twigs and Robert Pattinson were at Drake’s after-party in LA the other night.

First trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean 5 does not feature Johnny Depp

How much Jennifer Lawrence have we seen this summer? This is not a multiple choice question. There is only one answer: almost none. We talk about how movie stars just aren’t made anymore.
