The Affair Season 3 Episodes 9-10 finale recap So here we are…in Paris. Now we know what we know.  ‘Do you think you’re some kind of expert on affairs’, Juliette wants to know, and at the end of three seasons, well, do you? I have been skeptical about this season, and the degree of ...

John Mayer announces The Search For Everything World Tour

A press release went out yesterday to announce that John Mayer’s The Search For Everything tour will kick off in New York on March 31. The release was forwarded to me and Duana by our friend M, who offered to buy each of us a ticket - a joke meant for me, really, because I mocked them relentlessl...

Katy Perry promotes footwear collection in Footwear News

This is Katy Perry in Footwear News talking about her upcoming line of shoes. Katy Perry Footwear launches in the spring and she says she’s been working on the project for about 4 years. My favourite part of the article is when she explains how she uses her accessories, and often her shoes, to co...

Isabelle Huppert Cannes 2009 Gossip Nostalgia ahead of the Oscars

Isabelle Huppert was honoured at the Lumieres Awards last night in Paris. These are referred to as the Golden Globes of France. And you know that Isabelle upset Natalie Portman at the Golden Globes earlier this month in Hollywood. The Oscars of France are the Cesar Awards. Isabelle holds the reco...

Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne reunite at John Wick: Chapter 2 premiere

John Wick: Chapter 2 had its premiere last night in Los Angeles and it reunited Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne on the red carpet. Reeves is, of course, John Wick, and Fishburne is playing a new character named “The Bowery King”. The obligatory reference here is “Neo and Morpheus together aga...

Smutty Social Media, January 31, 2017

UnREAL season 3 is set to begin filming in Vancouver. I don’t know if I should hold out a little hope for this show; even Friday Night Lights had a shaky second season (which was mostly due to the writers’ strike). It’s not that season 2 was bad, it’s that it was completely tone-deaf and exploite...

Final trailer for Beauty and the Beast released and is not just for kids

The final trailer for the upcoming live action Beauty and The Beast was released yesterday. The movie comes out March 16th. And I think we can all agree it will make so much money? Because it’s not just for kids. Grown ass adults who used to be kids will be seeing this. Grown ass adults who write...

Chrissy Teigen brilliantly shuts down Twitter troll who harassed her over IVF plans

Sometimes what Lainey refers to as my ‘contrariness’ is actually just saturation fatigue. If you’re not into something, or someone, and people keep talking about them, it can feel straight-up aggressive. So you, who are constantly scouring for new talent, could be forgiven for maybe feeling like ...

First look at Ocean's Eight with official still and character names

I am very excited about Ocean’s 8. The film, as you know, is the femme version of Ocean's Eleven, most recently led by George Clooney and Brad Pitt. Initial rumours had Sandra Bullock playing George Clooney’s sister. Matt Damon is expected to make a cameo though and we learned in the previous Oce...

Azealia Banks posts Rihanna's phone number on social media following online feud over Muslim ban views

If Azealia Banks didn’t have social media as an outlet for her obnoxious rants, would she even exist? It’s the internet troll version of “if a tree falls in a forest…” The reason we are even acknowledging Banks’ existence today is because she crawled out from under the moldy, dilapidated bridge s...

Selena Gomez and The Weekend's romance heats up in Italy as Selena makes it social media official with Instagram video

It’s not love until the love is validated on social media. Selena Gomez and The Weeknd spent the weekend in Florence. They’ve been photographed holding hands, hugging, and kissing while visiting museums and having dinner. Click here and here and here to see the shots. As expected, many are co...

Ben Affleck will no longer direct The Batman

Continuing the “something is rotten in the state of Denmark” trend, Ben Affleck released a statement last night that he will not, after all, direct The Batman, the stand-alone Bat-movie he’s been developing. There were already questions about what is actually going on with this movie, and now it ...

Intro for January 31, 2017

Dear Gossips, On this week’s episode of our Show Your Work podcast, Duana and I spent some time talking about Taylor Swift and the criticism she received after the Women’s March, specifically whether or not Taylor Swift can continue to be apolitical in these times, especially when her brand s...

Smutty Social Media, January 30, 2017

Taylor Swift's spineless feminism and Constance Wu's constant callouts on Show Your Work podcast

Last week, after the Women’s March, Taylor Swift tweeted this: So much love, pride, and respect for those who marched. I'm proud to be a woman today, and every day. #WomensMarch — Taylor Swift (@taylorswift13) January 21, 2017 And, well, they came for her. Just read the comment...

Nicole Kidman’s SAG Showstopper

Mock this dress. I dare you. Complain about the gorgeous colour. The ingenuity of macaws (hat tip to Sarah) ready to tear it up over her clavicle and chestbone – no, don’t look at that dress and tell me those birds are peaceful. They are not. They are ready to GO. Tell me that this dr...

Natalie Portman in Jackie-inspired pregnancy formalwear at 2017 SAG Awards

Let me say at the outset here that I think Natalie Portman is up against a relatively exhausting set of circumstances. She is quite, quite pregnant, and that only means exhausted because even if you got to sleep until seconds before it was time to go, you can’t sleep by that point anyway. Then th...

Evan Rachel Wood and new fiance Zach Villa at 2017 SAG Awards

Evan Rachel Wood’s rep has confirmed to US Weekly that she and Zach Villa are engaged. They were both wearing rings last night at the SAGs. They were also both wearing blue suits. As we’ve been, Evan’s been wearing suits all award season long. Each one exquisite. I don’t know if I love this one m...

Naomie Harris’s SAG lounge-wear

One of the things Lainey’s always eager to talk about during awards season is the idea that celebs can be holding back, or banking, their best dresses—or alternately, spending them earlier if they don’t think they’re going to get a lot of play on the big night. Then there’s this – Naomie Har...

Emma Stone wins Best Actress SAG Award for La La Land

La La Land was not nominated for Best Ensemble last night by the Screen Actors Guild. It’s still considered the frontrunner for Oscar, especially after winning Best Picture at the Producers Guild Awards on Saturday, but there was definitely work to be done at the SAGs – and, as Awards Daily’s Sas...

Jessica Williams speaks up as Salma Hayek and Shirley MacLaine ignore and talk over her during luncheon celebrating female filmmakers

Most people know Jessica Williams as a former correspondent for The Daily Show. She also co-hosts a hysterical podcast called 2 Dope Queens. Jessica Williams is funny, brilliant, and on the verge of becoming known as more than just that girl who used to be on The Daily Show. Sundance marks her fi...

Emily Blunt and John Krasinski at the 2017 SAG Awards

I mentioned John Krasinski and Emily Blunt in my post about Kirsten Dunst, and they were also at the SAG Awards, where Blunt was a nominee for The Girl on the Train, which has more to do with her popularity among her peers than her actual performance. Her face when they announced her name as a no...

Michelle Williams in Louis Vuitton at the 2017 SAG Awards

On Friday the New York Times published an article about Michelle Williams’s red carpet choices this season, with commentary from her stylist, Kate Young. Kate also works with Natalie Portman, Selena Gomez, Dakota Johnson, and Sienna Miller. According to Kate, Michelle’s vibe is “cool and fashiona...

Kirsten Dunst attends the 2017 SAG Awards without Jesse Plemons

Well, not technically solo since she went with her brother, but solo in the sense that she didn’t bring her maybe fiancée, Jesse Plemons. So, if they are engaged, despite waving a ring around they’re keeping a low profile. That’s a pretty smart play. Kiki can flash her ring and get her coverage, ...

Falling in love with Claire Foy at the 2017 SAG Awards

Herewith, I eat crow: I did not think Claire Foy was going to win, and I told Lainey as much. Yes, yes, people love The Crown, and obviously John Lithgow because that …shoulder-hump prosthetic is amazing as it is, but I didn’t think that the mousy Queen Elizabeth, who has been wide-eyed but,...

Denzel Washington upsets Casey Affleck for Best Actor SAG Award

It was supposed to be a foregone conclusion: Casey Affleck, Best Actor Oscar. Until it wasn’t. The Screen Actors Guild honoured Denzel Washington’s performance in Fences instead. And it was an upset. He might be Denzel Washington, a legend in the business, but Casey had basically taken every ...

Gina Rodriguez brings boyfriend Joe LoCicero to 2017 SAG Awards

If you obsessively follow Gina Rodriguez on social media like I do, you already know that she has a super cute boyfriend she gushes about often. Case in point:   Our first Christmas together and your love has been the greatest gift. A photo posted by Gina Ro...

Amy Adams at the 2017 SAG Awards following Oscars snub

Winona Ryder demonstrates her feelings at 2017 SAG Awards

Previously in feelings, we thought Celine Dion not only owned them all, including ones you’ve never heard of, but also that she was the undisputed champion of demonstrating them all, in combination, with heart thumps and leg lunges and facial contortions. Last night, my beloved Winona Ryder c...

Jonah Hill too cool to feel the moment at the 2017 SAG Awards

Everything I hate about Jonah Hill, 2X Oscar nominee and friend of Leo, Scorsese, and Brange (before they broke), was all on display last night when he took the stage to present Best Actress to his friend Emma Stone. It was right after David Harbour had everyone cheering and screaming with his “c...

Mahershala Ali’s moving speech at 2017 SAG Awards

Describing something as “moving” always feels a little bit like Emma Woodhouse dropping an “elegant”—a blank descriptor to be used when you can’t think of anything truly nice to say. But Mahershala Ali’s speech at the SAG Awards IS moving—he’s visibly emotional, speaking from the heart, and speak...

Ben Affleck's year is off to a bad start as Live By Night reportedly takes $75 million loss

A few days ago Lainey wrote about the luck forecast for Rats this year, and she name-checked Ben Affleck as a Rat who could have a lucky year, if only he can maintain his focus. And he’s going to need to maintain his focus to channel his luck this year, because he’s off to a rough start. Variety ...

Nina Dobrev and Glen Powell reportedly dating

It was reported this week this week that Nina Dobrev and Glen Powell are dating. They’ve show up on each other’s social media pages. They hang out in the same circles.

Vin Diesel says he'd love to do a Groot spin-off with Marvel while promoting xXx: Return of Xander Cage

I said in my xXx: Return of Xander Cage review that Vin Diesel is “extremely good at self-promotion” and here is an example of what I am talking about. While promoting Xander Cage, Diesel did an interview with MTV in which he talks up a potential Groot spin-off with Marvel. “It’s something James ...

Gwyneth Paltrow out in LA in big jeans as goop releases its Valentine's Day gift guide

Scarlett Johansson likely ended Romain Dauraic marriage as sources claim they were not equals

The 2017 Vanity Fair Hollywood Portfolio features Lupita Nyong’o, Amy Adams, Natalie Portman, Emma Stone

Zendaya breaks down distinction between extensions, weaves and wigs on her YouTube channel

There comes a time in almost every young black girl’s life when someone sits them down – usually an older, wiser black woman—and explains to them the difference between extensions, weaves and wigs.

Mary J Blige hooking up with Jason Mitchell after ugly split from husband Martin “Kendu” Isaacs

As of last month, Mary J. Blige and her ex-husband Martin “Kendu” Isaacs were still going through a messy divorce. They split after 13  years of marriage.

Lin-Manuel Miranda is excited to go to the Oscars following nomination for Moana

Lin-Manuel Miranda is an “O” away from EGOT. He might not get it. He probably won’t get it? La La Land is the presumed frontrunner in the Best Song category. And Justin Timberlake can’t stop being Justin Timberlake so, as I mentioned yesterday, it might take a miracle. PEOPLE talked to LMM ab...

Hidden Figures surges with three Oscar nominations, though Taraji P. Henson shut out of Best Actress category

Michael Shannon nominated for Best Supporting Actor Oscar for Nocturnal Animals

As you know, I love Nocturnal Animals and am perpetually salty that it’s not getting enough attention this award season.

Amy Adams and Annette Bening not nominated for 2017 Oscars

Remember last year when Leonardo DiCaprio was on the award circuit for The Revenant how the storyline was all what a travesty it was that he didn’t have an Oscar. Leo’s due! It’s his time! Like somehow he, Leonardo DiCaprio, LEONARDO DICAPRIO!, was hard done by. Forty years old or so. And just, y...

Natalie Portman, Emma Stone, and Isabelle Huppert nominated in Best Actress category for Oscar

Lifetime releases first teaser trailer for Britney Spears biopic, Britney Ever After

The one thing I ask of an unauthorized Britney Spears biopic is that it accurately captures how much Brit’s hair is an indicator of her state of being. Of course, there’s the head-shaving incident but aside from that pivotal moment in pop culture history, Britney’s hair has always told her story....

Justin Bieber thinks The Weeknd's music is "wack" in new TMZ video

There’s all kinds of work to be done before starting on a movie. In addition to preparing for the role, many roles require the actor to get into shape physically.

Everybody is talking about Dee Rees's Mudbound after Sundance screening

At Sundance, back in 2012, Ava DuVernay became the first black woman to win Best Director for her film Middle Of Nowhere. Two years later, she directed Selma, which was the first film directed by a black woman to be nominated for Best Picture, though she was not nominated for Best Director. T...

Kristen Stewart will host Saturday Night Live on February 4th

At the height of the Twilight hysteria, I remember hearing from Twi-Hards who desperately wanted to see either Kristen Stewart or Robert Pattinson host Saturday Night Live. Taylor Lautner did it.

Dear Gossips, WOMAN. WOMEN. Sometimes, and too often lately, there are things you want to unsee and unknow. On Saturday though, it was a privilege to be alive, to see what was possible when, as Anne Helen Petersen wrote in Buzzfeed, “women plan(ned) ahead, read directions, and (got) sh-t ...

Blake Lively named Favourite Dramatic Movie Actress at People's Choice Awards for The Shallows

We are two weeks into the year and already it’s been great for gossip. Mimi, JLO, Clooney Twins, thirsty-ass Tom Hiddleston, and now Selena Gomez and The Weeknd. TMZ has the photos – click here to see them. I mean, if you want to stretch, and it would have to be like the most advanced yoga, y...

Tom Hardy in Taboo television review

Tom Hardy’s first foray into producing for television is the dark, macabre Taboo, which premiered last night with a ninety minute pilot. Hardy stars as James Delaney, who returns to London after being presumed dead for a decade. Delaney is the long lost heir to a shipping company, I think? It's 1...

Jenna Dewan confirmed to host Jennifer Lopez's World Of Dance

Jennifer Lopez is producing a dance competition show called World Of Dance. She, NE-YO, and Derek Hough are the judges. And Jenna Dewan has just been confirmed as the host and mentor.   A show by dancers FOR dancers....so excited to share with you guys! Let's gooooo...

Natalie Portman tells Marie Claire UK that Ashton Kutcher made three times as much as she did for No Strings Attached

Natalie Portman covers the newest issue of Marie Claire UK. Inside, she talks about legalizing pot, her sense of humour, and, of course, Jackie. But she also reveals that as of 2010, Ashton Kutcher was worth roughly three times as much as she was in the eyes of Hollywood: “Ashton Kutcher was ...

James McAvoy promotes Split in Milan as critics call film "return to form" for M Night Shyamalan

M Night Shyamalan’s new film Split opens on January 20th. So far the reviews have been pretty decent. I mean, it’s January, and the movie is probably being assessed by January standards. That said, it’s not pretending to be anything else. And a few critics have even called it a “return to form” f...

Idris Elba invites you to be his Valentine for a good cause

The impossible might be possible. I WILL FIGHT YOU FOR THIS POSSIBILITY so watch your hair because my fingers are coming at that ponytail…even though this is supposed to be for charity. Idris Elba is making himself available as your Valentine for a good cause. Have you watched this yet? I gig...

January 11, 2017 – Smutty Shout-Outs

Yinnie! "Happy birthday to one brilliant, beautiful and driven woman! That mind will take you far, and I know you are destined for great things--in the very near future.

Intro for January 11, 2017

Dear Gossips, Have you read the Beyoncé-Solange interview in Interview yet? As you know, Beyoncé hasn’t done a real interview in years. But here she is interviewing her sister at her request. You can tell they are close. Beyoncé credits Solange with being ahead of the game, ahead of the trend...

Mariah Carey can't stop talking about New Year's Eve performance

Had to put this off for a day because of the Golden Globes. But I would never not pay attention to a message from Mimi. For some reason, even though people finally stopped talking about it, Mimi decided to let us know her thoughts on what happened New Year’s Eve. You know, when her inner ears...

Ben Affleck tells Jimmy Kimmel he doesn't give away Tom Brady's secrets

Ben Affleck was on Jimmy Kimmel last night. Kimmel teased him about not being thanked by Casey Affleck at the Golden Globes when Casey won Best Actor in a Drama. Ben thanked Casey when he won his first Oscar. Somehow the conversation ended up at Tom Brady. And then this came out of Ben’s mouth: ...

Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool now nominated for Writers’ Guild and Producers' Guild awards

We have seen an unprecedented amount of hustle and thirst from Ryan Reynolds this award season as he pushes Deadpool as the year’s most improbable contender. And, well, it’s working, because besides those Golden Globe nominations, Deadpool has also bagged a Writers’ Guild and now a Producers’ Gui...

Tom Hiddleston apologises for "inelegant" Golden Globes speech

Standing in from of a roomful of narcissists at the Golden Globes, Tom Hiddleston behaved like the biggest narcissist. And, as you know, he was immediately dragged for it. By some of the people at the Beverly Hilton: We are all Vince, Christian, and Naomie. #goldenglobes #etalkGlobes pic....

Smutty Social Media, January 10, 2017

Remember when Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz were on Punk’d? I thought Salma showed P the giant poo in the washroom, but my memory doesn’t serve me well: Penelope did it to Salma. I do remember someone saying over and over again, “Why would you show me this?!”   Good...

Hidden Figures movie review

Hidden Figures had a big opening weekend. There are no words to express how happy this makes me. The fact that this film made money has power. It means that, hopefully, we’ll get to see more stories about the nameless, faceless women of colour who made history. As Lainey mentioned in her intr...

Sylvester Stallone's Golden Globes boy-sh-t with Casey Affleck and Matt Damon

Gossip is fueled by girl sh-t and boy sh-t. It’s the best sh-t. This is my favourite story to come out of the Golden Globes. This story has everything: pettiness, ego, manners, beards, and dramatic exits. And it involves multiple celebrities. According to PEOPLE: Despite his three daughte...

Tom Hardy on the purity of dogs in Vanity Fair

Tom Hardy’s Taboo debuts tonight. Sarah will be writing about it tomorrow. Here’s Tom last night at the LA premiere. Over the last couple of weeks, he’s been doing American press to promote the series, more than usual, at least that’s what it feels like. Perhaps because he’s producing. And he wor...

Amal Clooney didn't drink at London screening of The White Helmets with George Clooney

Last week I posted about the latest Amal Clooney pregnancy rumour from a report out of a Lebanon news outlet citing Amal family sources who claim that she’s expecting twins. As noted in that article, it was worth considering because it’s not the National Enquirer or Star Magazine or the Daily Mai...

Intro for January 10, 2017

Dear Gossips, Yesterday in my post about Ruth Negga, my pick for best dressed at the Globes, I was so into her outfit, I forgot to write my thoughts about why her partner, Dominic Cooper, wasn’t with her for Golden Globe weekend. She attended the Globes with her Loving co-star Joel Edgerton. ...

Miss Golden Globe(s), Sofia Vergara's flub, and the latest Show Your Work podcast

So tell the truth. If the Miss Golden Globe(s) hadn’t been introduced, would you have known whose progeny they were? I wouldn’t at all, but apparently some of the internet thinks they’re very easily identifiable? It’s kind of a ridiculous job, but they did fine, I suppose – especially since n...

Reese Witherspoon is Lainey's 2017 Golden Globes Worst Dressed

In 2007, ten years ago, Reese Witherspoon was freshly divorced. She was single. She’d won an Oscar (for her performance in Walk The Line) and she showed up at the Golden Globes in a yellow Nina Ricci and it’s the way I’ll always see her, my favourite way of seeing her, even though she’s not alway...

Natalie Portman is Duana's 2017 Golden Globes Worst Dressed

Natalie Portman didn’t make an appearance last night. That is, sometimes nominees are involved in other projects or sketches so you see them in a different capacity than just sitting in their seats, waiting…but that didn’t happen tonight, and I wonder how she feels about it. Maybe, being pre...

Emma Stone is Duana's 2017 Golden Globes Best Dressed

Somewhere in between the mass sentiment ‘oh please, she’s wearing a dress with STARS on it, how on the nose, we get it’ and her apparently answering the question ‘what are you wearing’ with ‘a dress with stars on it’, I feel like we got the mistaken impression that Emma Stone’s dress was run of t...

Ruth Negga is Lainey's 2017 Golden Globes Best Dressed

I kinda set this up for myself the other day. Ruth Negga was the one I was waiting for. And my God, she was worth it. This is custom Nicolas Ghesquiere for Louis Vuitton. It took 120 hours to put together. And you can see the construction at work. Because without that craftsmanship, this dress co...

Ryan Gosling's "Lady" at the 2017 Golden Globes

What do you think it will be? Which phrase will be emblazoned on the next round of Ryan Gosling memes, like the cheap valentines we used to pass out to one another in grade school? My vote is for “While I was singing and dancing…my lady was raising our daughter”, just like that, with the elli...

Brie Larson hands Casey Affleck the 2017 Golden Globe for best actor without caving

I don’t like Brie Larson’s snoozy column dress. I also didn’t like her makeup. I actually find she has kind of a funny face in that it’s a bit anonymous. She can disappear all of a sudden and almost be unrecognizable. Probably a great skill for an actress, not my favourite on a night like this. ...

Tom Hiddleston was THIRSTY at 2017 Golden Globes

I said to Jacek and Emily last night when Olivia Colman and Hugh Laurie won in their categories that something was rumbling. What came out of the ass of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association was Tom Hiddleston winning Best Actor in a Miniseries over Courtney B Vance in The People Vs OJ Simpson,...

Meryl Streep's power at 2017 Golden Globes

Do you think she really did lose her voice? Or do you think she knew her speech would be that much more effective if the room was pin-drop silent so everyone could listen to her? Do you think that Meryl Streep had to look up which of her fellow nominees was born other places? Or do you su...

Viola Davis made the 2017 Golden Globes come together

You know what I mean by MVP, right? There are others who will get the label ‘best dressed’ (though for me, this yellow column came very close. Davis always does colours but this was the best and it’s only January!) and there are others who were arguably ‘bigger’ winners, but Viola made the whole ...

Justin Timberlake exhausted Jessica Biel among everyone at 2017 Golden Globes

I was tired of Justin Timberlake 30 seconds into his first red carpet interview. Can you imagine what it felt like to be Jessica Biel on a night like this, to endure the endless barrage of ME that kept coming out of his mouth? It started with Ryan Seacrest and a question about them dressing up as...

Sarah Jessica Parker poor humility at 2017 Golden Globes

No, Sarah Jessica Parker did not style her hair in honour of Carrie Fisher. Of course she didn’t. On a personal level, she thinks of herself as too creative to do a straight homage like that, is my personal opinion, and she wouldn’t want to be tied to it or invite the inevitable lazy ‘From one Ca...

Issa Rae losing to Tracee Ellis Ross was OK at 2017 Golden Globes

If I was going to be OK with Issa Rae losing to anyone, it was going to be Tracee Ellis Ross. Tracee is a legend. It was about damn time. Without Girlfriends, you could argue that Insecure wouldn’t exist. There’s a Girlfriends reference in the Insecure pilot that I nerded out over so hard. Both o...

Brad Pitt’s warm reception at 2017 Golden Globes

Brad Pitt was not announced as a presenter at the Golden Globes. They either wanted it to be a surprise or he specifically requested that it not be reported. Since there’s no way the Globes wouldn’t want to maximise hype around Brad’s appearance, to me it’s more likely that he and his team were t...

Nicole Kidman's eccentric McQueen worked at 2017 Golden Globes

Okay, you can yell at me. Scream all you want, but I do not hate this! I said early on, on our group text, that she was 60% of the way to becoming Miss Havisham, and I then heard it on Twitter, too. This look is McQueen and it’s streelish and bananas and her hair is all over the place… …but y...

Amy Schumer and Goldie Hawn clicked at 2017 Golden Globes

I’m not an Amy Schumer apologist or believer. She does her thing, and I’m not invested in it at all. I actively hated the Lemonade parody and I don’t know why Goldie completely skated for that. So they’re at the Golden Globes presenting, and we are going to be seeing a lot of them leading up ...

Jake Gyllenhaal and Luke Bracey burned up the 2017 Golden Globes

Unfortunately there are no proper photos of Jake Gyllenhaal and Luke Bracey together. All we have is the show. That might be a reason to keep the show, all 3+ hours of it, on your PVR. I am mad at myself that I didn’t record any of those cutaway moments on my phone. And now I don’t have the time ...

Pharrell could do no wrong at 2017 Golden Globes

To a lot of people, Sarah Jessica Parker is their fashion icon. I get it. It’s a title she maybe even deserves but to these people, SJP can do no wrong. She can show up at the MET Gala looking like a pirate from an elementary school production of The Pirates of Penzance or wear a tutu on her face...

Mandy Moore and 'This is Us' at the 2017 Golden Globes

Don’t call it a comeback. Arguably the very first article I ever wrote for LaineyGossip, on a train, no less, was about why people should love Mandy Moore (more). Then there were the dark years, and Ryan Adams, and now the promotional ads for This Is Us that ran between segments of the Globes...

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively at the 2017 Golden Globes

I say this because where they were seated, they were on camera for every wide shot. And of course that would have been deliberate. Because the audience needs to see a couple like Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, blandly goodlooking and guaranteed to not get you in trouble. No other couple last nig...

Timothy Olyphant and Drew Barrymore at the 2017 Golden Globes

Timothy Olyphant and Drew Barrymore appeared together at the Golden Globes, he as a Very Handsome Man, she dressed as an astral queen from a 1970s low budget sci-fi flick. (This felt like a year where everyone came in costume.) I immediately started texting Lainey in all caps about Olyphant, who ...

Janelle Monae's best hair at the 2017 Golden Globes

I didn’t even know we were doing ‘best hair’ this year, but it turned out that there had to be a way to acknowledge certain looks – please adore this woman’s hair. Please. It is perfect. It’s so perfect that her dress can obviously only be less so. I assume everyone reading is a fan of Janell...

Kerry Washington's great hair at 2017 Golden Globes

Every year, for the Oscars and the Globes, Duana and I set out the list of celebrities to cover and then divide the list between us. Every year, there’s one person we fight over. This year, we fought over Kerry Washington. Kerry was initially supposed to be Duana’s. And she would not give her up....

Donald Glover wins big with Atlanta at the 2017 Golden Globes

Can you tell I’m excited? I teared up – as I do – a few times last night. Most of the tears had to do with Donald Glover and Atlanta. I’m not from Atlanta. I don’t know Donald Glover personally. My tears were probably irrational. It may be unhealthy how connected I feel to these people I’m not re...

Keri Russell knew she wouldn't win at the 2017 Golden Globes but didn't care

Do not come crying to me. The Americans is never going to win any awards, and then you guys are going to discover it like two years after it’s cancelled, and you’re going to try to tell me all about how amazing it is, and how it’s criminal that nobody knew. I do not want to hear it, okay? ...

Winona Ryder nostalgia at the 2017 Golden Globes

Winona Ryder’s dress for the Golden Globes was custom Viktor & Wolf. I’m surprised. I’m surprised she didn’t wear Marc Jacobs. I’m not surprised it’s black. I am also not surprised that it’s a nothing black dress, totally a whatever. Winona Ryder isn’t showing up at the Golden Globes anymore need...

Gina Rodriguez's best plunge and fun times at the 2017 Golden Globes

Gina Rodriguez debuted her Golden Globes look on Instagram before she hit the red carpet. Before any of the red carpet shows had started, Gina was already making Best Dressed Lists. She was the first of many plunging necklines but for me, she wins. Her Naeem Khan gown has an effortless flapper vi...

Anna Kendrick's forgettable 2017 Golden Globes

I had to google Anna Kendrick’s Golden Globes history. She was nominated in 2010 for Up in the Air. A long time ago, right? Not that her spot is in jeopardy – clearly she’s in good standing, she co-announced the nominees this year. She has a very solid, respectful career. But I wonder, as she...

Evan Rachel Wood's sublime tuxedo at 2017 Golden Globes

F-cking spectacular. Custom Altuzarra. And really, really close to being my best dressed of the night. I’m still debating it actually but we’re all frantically writing and I don’t have time to go back and forth and Duana very impatiently told me to make a decision already. So here’s the justifica...

Sarah Paulson was a good friend at 2017 Golden Globes

Evvverybody loves Sarah Paulson. You noticed? I mean, there’s no reason not to love her. She’s awesome and a great actress, and she has been one of my red carpet favourites for the last couple of years – this Marc Jacobs isn’t my favourite thing she’s worn, but it’s totally nice (Lainey think...

Moonlight wins Best Motion Picture Drama at 2017 Golden Globes

Moonlight was the best film of 2016. Moonlight was the best film of 2016. Moonlight was the best film of 2016. If I could fill a whole page with that statement I would. F-ck, it was one of the best films of the past decade. Moonlight is a masterpiece but that word still feels too small and too or...

Aaron Taylor-Johnson wins Best Supporting Actor at 2017 Golden Globes

I’m going to make this about me, sorry. Because many of you told me on Twitter and via email that you thought of me when Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s name was called for Best Supporting Actor. Because he’s half of My Obsession. Thank you for associating me with My Obsession. But… like… it shoulda b...

Kristen Bell was cool at the 2017 Golden Globes

I never thought that Kristen Bell would remind me of my mom, but here we are. Actually my mom is a tiny blonde person not unlike Kristen Bell, but that’s not why – it’s that thing that moms say, that you don’t listen to when you’re young, about “when you get older you stop caring what other p...

Lily Collins at 2017 Golden Globes

I hate it. I was going to write this rambling intro about being a contrarian and how nothing makes me feel more out of touch with public opinion than grading a red carpet, but why bother? If you love this dress, we are fighting. Come at me. Lily Collins is lovely, her face is spectacular....

Michelle Williams and Busy Philips at 2017 Golden Globes

Priyanka Chopra and Jeffrey Dean Morgan at 2017 Golden Globes

Priyanka Chopra is talented. When I was watching Quantico for a hot second, I thought she was great. I want to make it clear that I know she is talented but let’s not get it twisted: Priyanka Chopra continues to get invited to these shows because she is blindingly beautiful and even in a “meh” dr...

Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal together at 2017 Golden Globes

Here are #InternetBoyfriend2017 Diego Luna and his Golden Globes date, Gael García Bernal—or is Luna García’s date? Luna was repping Rogue One, currently the biggest movie in the world, and García was a repeat nominee for Mozart in the Jungle (for which he won last year). Either way, they are bot...

Ben Affleck, Sienna Miller, Zoe Saldana present together at 2017 Golden Globes

It’s an obvious title. But I like the obviousness as it relates to Ben Affleck and, you know, the assumed and presumed temptations of Ben Affleck. Ben Affleck was there to promote Live By Night. He kept a pretty low profile all evening. I guess it was his way of making it about Casey. Or, maybe, ...

Hailee Steinfeld's purple bridesmaid Vera Wang dress at 2017 Golden Globe Awards

I like Hailee Steinfeld’s song Starving. It is hummable, it is not asking anything of me. I have read great reviews of The Edge of Seventeen, including Sarah’s. I will watch it when I can find it on on demand. But I will not abide this dress. She is 20 years old. 20 damn years old!!! Why the ...

John Legend and Chrissy Teigen at the 2017 Golden Globes

You can watch a show like this and wonder if you are just going along with something because it’s popular. You can wonder, as I saw a lot of people do, whether you really liked La La Land or just fell into some populist trap or what. But there is no way not to love John Legend and Chrissy Tei...

Isabelle Huppert upsets Natalie Portman for Best Actress in a Drama at 2017 Golden Globes

Does this mean Emma Stone is back in the lead for Best Actress at the Oscars? Or does this mean nothing because, well, it’s the Hollywood Foreign Press? Isabelle Huppert upset Natalie Portman for Best Actress in a Drama at the Golden Globes last night. At my house, Emily, Jacek, and I, we all...

Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne present together at the 2017 Golden Globes

The obvious joke about Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne is how much they look alike – so much so that every few months someone on Twitter will crack, “has anyone ever seen Eddie Redmayne and Jessica Chastain in the same room?” There were also a bunch of Chastain/ Redmayne memes going around wh...

Tracee Ellis Ross wins Best Actress in a Comedy at 2017 Golden Globes

Tracee Ellis Ross won the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Comedy, the first time an African-American woman has won in that category since Debbie Allen in 1983. That’s over 30 years. This is how she described her accomplishment backstage:  "It means a lot," she told reporters, adding that s...

John Travolta is the most reliable at 2017 Golden Globes

I feel protective of John Travolta. And I know that’s a weird thing to say because let’s face it, there are things here to point out. The Xenu worship. The, um, “hair.” The open secrets. Yet there is a kindness to him, isn’t there? He’s the type of person who, I think, would be courteous to t...

Intro for January 9, 2017

Dear Gossips, Hidden Figures pretty much tied Rogue One for top spot at the box office this weekend, bringing in just under $22 million. And while Rogue One was always supposed to be a blockbuster, Hidden Figures in comparison is an underdog. The reason why it’s #1 is because it’s a wonderful...

Jimmy Fallon hosts the 2017 Golden Globes

Do you prefer safe? Or did you miss the bite? The bite of Ricky Gervais, the sharp snark of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Safe was Jimmy Fallon who, after the opening musical number, kinda disappeared. I was actually expecting more charades, or some kind of lip sync, a game or two. Maybe hot dog eati...

Ryan Reynolds wants to take Deadpool to the Oscars

Did it surprise you how visible Ryan Reynolds was in December? It’s not like he was promoting a movie. Wait, no. That’s wrong. It’s not like he was promoting a NEW movie. He was not promoting a new movie. He was promoting a movie that came out… last February. Deadpool, of course. In December,...

Ben Affleck’s blonde “date”

Justin Timberlake's 'Can’t Stop The Feeling' nomination has a chance because of his mass appeal

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel at the W Magazine pre-Golden Globe party last night. JT is a Globe nominee for the Worst Song of the Year, Can’t Stop The Feeling. And he might win. Because it’s the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. And they’re always good for some f-cksh-t. And also because...

TV spots for Beauty and the Beast look like Belle’s Night at the Museum

Disney has started releasing TV spots for Beauty and the Beast, which more and more looks like Belle’s Night at the Museum.

Tom Hilddleston off to hustle and Taylor Swift emerges from silence on Instagram

Here’s Tom Hiddleston at Heathrow today, likely on his way to Los Angeles for the Golden Globes on Sunday where he’s nominated for his work in The Night Manager.

Julia Roberts supports Natalie Portman at a Jackie screening for AMPAS members

The NY Times addresses comparisons between Casey Affleck and Nate Parker in sexual harassment and rape allegations

Self-involved Chris Pratt talks about his big break in Vanity Fair cover feature

On Tuesday Lainey opened the New Year by writing about Ben Affleck and Hollywood dreams, the cost thereof (see also: La La Land) and also, how the ones that have Made It often reframe their success because, as Lainey put it, they’re “embarrassed” of their desire to be a celebrity. We’re supposed ...

Mariah Carey fires creative director Anthony Burrell after New Year’s Eve problems

It’s been five days since Mimi’s shambolic performance on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve. Every day there’s been a new headline over whose fault it was, whether or not Mimi was set up to fail, whether or not she failed because she’s lazy…and now, now she’s let go of her creative director, An...

Ben Affleck tells The Guardian that new Batman film has no script

Ever since Ben Affleck signed on as Batman, it’s been assumed he would make a solo Batman movie for the Justice League era. The movie, as of now titled The Batman and penciled in for a late 2018 release, was assumed to begin production in the spring. A few weeks ago Affleck told Variety that “eve...

George and Amal Clooney reportedly pregnant with twins according to Lebanon's Daily Star

The Daily Beast reported yesterday that the Daily Star in Lebanon is reporting that Amal and George Clooney are pregnant with twins. I don’t know the accuracy rate of Lebanon’s Daily Star. And Amal has been pregnant-but-not-really-pregnant like once a month since she and George got married. So, o...
