If Girl Sh-t is the game we’re playing, this move is petty as f-ck and, therefore, an excellent entry into the Girl Sh-t catalogue. If only.

Jigsaw movie review
And it was not a treat. I do not enjoy the Saw movies, or torture porn in general, and while Jigsaw will probably work for fans of the Saw series, I cannot imagine casual viewers being drawn into the franchise by this movie. Or any movie. There are EIGHT of these. Do we need to be concerned about...
Millie Bobby Brown tells Variety she wants to do Broadway during her time off
I just read a new Variety interview with Millie Brown. There’s no spoiler, if you’re like me and you haven’t started season 2 yet. As I mentioned last week, I’m too chicken sh-t to watch without Sarah guiding me through the scary parts. And she hasn’t finished yet so she can’t hold my hand throug...

Bella looks pleased. With some time and space between them, she can stand back and watch the drama unfold, knowing that she warned him.

Princess Catherine plays tennis at the Lawn Tennis Association in London on Halloween
I was about to ask, hey, so do royals dress up in costume? And then I remembered, twelve years ago, Prince Harry was a dumb f-ck and went as a Nazi to what the British call a fancy dress party. It was on the front page of every newspaper. Of course he apologised and he’s not the Harry now tha...
Angelina Jolie stops for ice cream in LA ahead of Halloween

Do you have any idea what Adele’s costume is supposed to be? Or who she’s supposed to be? At first I thought maybe she was going to the Casamigos 70s-themed Halloween party. Is this 70s though? It could be, right? I can picture eye makeup like this at Studio 54 back in the day. But then there’s t...
Gwyneth Paltrow dresses as herself in Se7en themed Halloween costume
Halloween language is weird to me. Where I live, the question you ask about someone’s costume is, “What are you going as?” Maybe it’s different in your area. But in Toronto, where I grew up, and in Vancouver, where I lived for a long time, that’s the question. What are you going as? Why isn’t...
Tiffany Haddish to host Saturday Night Live with musical guest Taylor Swift
Alphabetically, Taylor comes before Tiffany. And on the fame scale, yeah, Taylor Swift ranks higher than Tiffany Haddish, higher than almost everyone, really. On excitement and anticipation though, Tiffany takes it. Tiffany Haddish broke through in 2017 in Girls Trip. And on Jimmy Kimmel. It ...

Gabrielle Union becomes New York Times bestselling author ahead of her 45th birthday
Gabrielle Union turned 45 yesterday. She looks the exact same as she did at 25. It’s ridiculous. As her husband Dwyane Wade said, it’s unfair. It feels like we have this conversation every year. Gabrielle Union is getting older but her face is frozen in time. Seriously, I watched Bring it On the ...

Sam and Aaron Taylor Johnson team up for film adaptation of A Million Little Pieces
A common complaint about movies is that there are no new ideas, it’s all superheroes and remakes, reboots and spin-offs.

Taylor Swift's new single Gorgeous is better than Look What You Made Me Do but not great
I love the word gorgeous. It starts off aggressive, then becomes ripe and soft, ending on a hiss. Which means it can be whatever it wants to be – obscene, sly, but also alluring, and suggestive. Gorgeous is a great word. And now I’m worried Taylor Swift has ruined it. Gorgeous is the third si...

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly had tea with the Queen at Buckingham Palace

Amal Clooney was at an event last night in LA celebrating the Gianni Versace Archive. That’s a great gold dress on her. My favourite fit. Like a slouchy t-shirt. What’s most interesting to me though is that she was even there in the first place. Not because Amal doesn’t love fashion. We all k...
Will Ben Affleck cameo on SNL with Gal Gadot hosting to promote Justice League?
Ben Affleck was photographed out in Santa Monica yesterday. Since Saturday Night Live is in production now for the new season, Lindsay Shookus has to be in New York for most of the week when there are new episodes. It’s definitely a new episode this Saturday, hosted by Gal Gadot. Who just happens...
Keanu Reeves plays Frankenstein in 'Replicas'
Thanks to John Wick, Keanu Reeves is enjoying something of a renaissance. He’s not working any more or less than he was before, and he hasn’t really changed the type of movies he’s interested in making, it’s just that, in the wake of John Wick, people are suddenly realizing he’s not a bad actor—j...
Leonardo DiCaprio with models Juliette Perkins and Candice Blackburn in Paris
Every Friday for the last month, Leonardo DiCaprio’s given me a reason to post about him. The reason is always the same and it’s been the same for the last 25 years: models. Paris Fashion Week just wrapped up. So of course Leo stayed in Paris after being honoured in Monaco last week. Here’s L...
Harvey Weinstein's bullsh-t apology and victim attacks after NYT sexual harassment allegations
Harvey Weinstein is sorry. Harvey Weinstein is also suing The New York Times for their story published yesterday, detailing “decades of sexual harassment accusations” against him. Can you truly take responsibility while beginning litigation against the newspaper that exposed your misconduct? ...

Intro for October 6, 2017
Dear Gossips, Kazuo Ishiguru won the Nobel Prize for Literature yesterday. It was somewhat of a surprise, not because he’s not deserving, of course he’s deserving, and the announcement was met with praise from many of his peers and the literary community; it’s just that he wasn’t at the top o...

What Else for October 5, 2017
When I think of Guy Pearce, I think of Memento. And LA Confidential. And Iron Man 3. Because I have a demented attachment to Tony Stark. What I do not remember, or maybe I never knew it at all, is that Guy Pearce was, at one point, a surfer dude? At least he looks like it here. Never seen this ph...
Kerry Washington’s Scandal farewell tour
The final season of Scandal premieres tonight, thank Shonda. Listen, I love Scandal as much as the next Gladiator but it’s time. Just like it was time for Grey’s Anatomy to end about 5 seasons ago. I still watch Grey’s. I will continue to watch Grey’s until Seattle Grace hospital has faced every ...
Woody Allen's 'Wonder Wheel' isn't helped by casting Justin Timberlake
Just in case you’re not over Woody Allen yet, here is the first trailer for Wonder Wheel, his latest movie, which stars Kate Winslet but also Justin Timberlake. That’s right, Justin Timberlake. Justin Timberlake is in a Woody Allen movie, co-starring with Kate Winslet. (That’s like putting a Ferr...

Jennifer Garner has a few films in pre-production (according to IMDb) including Peppermint, a “revenge story centering on a young mother with nothing to lose.” Which would explain the stunt training. And, I’m just going to put this out there even though I don’t know the first thing about superher...
Winona Ryder: on relevance and strategy
Winona Ryder is only four years younger than Julia Roberts. Lucas came out just one year before Mystic Pizza. Winona’s birthday is just a day after Julia’s. Both have had lots and lots of love and life drama. Winona’s dramas are easy to remember. But don’t forget Julia’s had her share of fragilit...
Would Michael Fassbender's abuse allegations of Leasi Andrews be covered differently now vs 2012?
Alicia Vikander was in Paris earlier this week for the Louis Vuitton presentation. On Tuesday Michael Fassbender was in London promoting The Snowman – I posted those photos here. By the end of that day he was seen with Alicia in Paris at the airport. They landed in LA yesterday, presumably, I’m a...
Kim Cattrall vs Everyone
Last week I posted about the fact that the third Sex And The City movie is not happening and how Kim Cattrall is being blamed for it. Kim was the interviewed by Piers Morgan during which she compared the whole SATC situation to a “toxic relationship” and insisted that while “there is genuine affe...
Julia is (almost) 50!
As I’ve been telling you all year, this has been Duana’s favourite thing to do all year: put on her Oprah voice, kick out her leg, and shout “Julia at 50!” Julia, of course, is Julia Roberts. Who turns 50 in 3 weeks, on October 28th. Which is also just 3 weeks before the release of her new fi...
Taylor Swift rumoured to perform at Victoria’s Secret show also featuring Harry Styles
Harry Styles performed in Toronto last night at Massey Hall. My friend Amy was at the show. And she texted me last night to tell me that she saw Camille Rowe was there. At the back of the stage.

Intro for October 5, 2017
Dear Gossips, Get ready for it. There’s a big story that might be breaking soon. And even though it doesn’t involve a movie star proper, this is someone who’s worked with many, many movie stars. Who has made movie stars. Which means, if this scandal is as potentially explosive as it seems rig...

What Else for October 4, 2017
People always want to believe – and I’ve never understood this – that Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio had a thing in real life. They also wanted them to work together again after Titanic. And they did. They played a dysfunctional couple. Because where else can you go after Jack and Rose? Now K...
Brad Pitt's first time on set since break up filming Ad Astra
It’s been weeks, maybe more, since we’ve seen Brad Pitt. Here he is in Baker, California on the set of James Gray’s Ad Astra, a film about space travel. Which I think explains what he’s wearing, if there’s any CGI involved. Or if he has to spend part of the movie in a space suit. Is this his ...
Sam Smith and Brandon Flynn kissing in public suggests they're a "thing"
Sam Smith and Brandon Flynn from 13 Reasons Why are a thing. I use “a thing” instead of dating or in a relationship because so far, all we’ve got are photos of the two making out on the side of the street in NYC. TMZ suggests that the PDA means they’ve kept their situation under wraps for a while...

Willow Smith congratulates Kip S Thorne on his achievement.

Lionel Richie joins American Idol reboot and we might care now (?)
Lionel Richie was confirmed a few days ago as the third and final judge on the American Idol reboot. If you recall, Katy Perry signed on months ago for a reported $25 million. Ryan Seacrest will also be back for a substantial amount of money. But then it took forever to line up the next two judge...
Call Me By Your Name charming the New York Film Festival
As I wrote during TIFF, Call Me By Your Name is my favourite film of the year so far. It is one of the most exquisite films of the last few years. I don’t think I’ve haven’t told you enough how much I loved it, how I can’t wait for you to see it, so that we can talk about it, so that we can all v...
Do we really need to see John Krasinski revive Jack Ryan?
In the 1990’s, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan character was the American answer to James Bond. Alec Baldwin originated him in The Hunt for the Red October—AKA your dad’s favorite movie—but it was Harrison Ford’s portrayal in Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger that helped the character really take...
Columbus movie review starring John Cho
Review of "Columbus" starring John Cho (Lainey: as Sarah wrote yesterday in her post about the Oscars and Netflix, how and where people are consuming film, and the accessibility of movies, Columbus is hard to get to. Even for someone like Sarah who lives in a major market like Chicago. Which ...
Beyoncé and Jay-Z see Solange in concert and sell NYC apartment
BeyoncĂ© on Harvest Moon Day! BeyoncĂ© and Jay-Z went out to see Solange perform last night in New York at Radio City Music Hall. The reviews of Solange’s show have been terrific, at least the ones I’ve read. Here’s one from Mashable about how she incorporates performance art into her shows, and th...
October 4, 2017 – Smutty Shout-Outs
For Zoya from Sara, your proud older sister who wanted her birthday shout-out to be about you instead. Because you worked so hard for half a year on Inbound 2017, where Issa Rae met Michelle Obama, an event to support and celebrate women. And your reward? You met Michelle Obama too!
Intro for October 4, 2017
Dear Gossips, Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, a major holiday on the lunar calendar. Growing up in Chinese culture, we also called it Harvest Moon Festival or Chinese Thanksgiving. It happens on the 15th day of the 8th month of the year, a full moon. And for us, it’s the second most important h...

Until Ryan Gosling told me this weekend, I had no idea it was even called “papyrus”. But then again, I’m pretty font conservative. I use Arial. Out of laziness. Because it’s the first on the list. I used to, like 15 years ago, be like every other basic and use Comic Sans MS. Which lasted all of f...
Alicia Vikander at Paris Fashion week as rumoured fiance Michael Fassbender promotes The Snowman in London
Like Jennifer Connelly and Michelle Williams, Alicia Vikander is a Louis Vuitton ambassador. She was in Paris for LV yesterday.

Kelly and Ryan are starting to look like brother and sister. Sometimes that happens to married couples or people and their dogs – is it from spending so much time together? Or do we choose companions that mirror us? Or maybe they are both just petite and blonde. H...
Kaia Gerber opens the Chanel show in Paris during Fashion Week
Kaia Gerber has been the undisputed star of this season’s fashion weeks, beginning in New York, then on to London and Milan, and ending in Paris, where she opened Chanel’s presentation, the first down the runway, in what’s being called the “pinnacle” of her debut on the scene. ...
Jared Leto to play Hugh Hefner in biopic directed by Brett Ratner
Following the death of Hugh Hefner, it seems natural that someone would order up a Hef biopic, and indeed, someone has. Hollywood fratboy Brett Ratner is going to produce and direct a biopic of Hef, which will star Jared Leto. How do you think Leto will get into character? What Method treats will...
Yara Shahidi interviews Zendaya for Glamour cover profile
On November 10th, 2016, I wrote about Zendaya. I wrote that she gave me hope on a day the world was reeling from the election of a racist, bigoted shriveled up sweet potato masquerading as a human being. Zendaya is never afraid to use her voice and at 21 years old, that voice is stronger, clearer...
Sponsored: YouTube Canada Spotlight - Comic Training
A few weeks ago, I posted about Canadian YouTubers Aysha Abdul and Molly Burke and the platform they’ve built for themselves via their YouTube channels. Molly and Aysha are two examples of those who’ve seized opportunities granted to them by today’s highly visible, highly accessible forms of new ...
Macaulay Culkin and Brenda Song are dating
Last time I posted about Macaulay Culkin it was back in July. He was out for dinner with Seth Green and his wife, Clare, and Brenda Song was there too and it seemed like it could have been a double date but there was no confirmation. ET is now confirming that Mac and Brenda are indeed dating. On ...
Chris Hemsworth shows his work as a team player a month ahead of Thor: Ragnarok
As mentioned in the open, we are exactly a month away from the release of Thor: Ragnarok, expected to be the best Thor of the franchise, under the direction of Taika Waititi.

It’s hard enough to dance. But having to dance with a prop? This is triple axel levels of difficulty.

Blonde Marion Cotillard at Valentino Show during Paris Fashion Week
Marion Cotillard showed up at Paris Fashion Week as a blonde. I love this faux pompadour thing she’s doing. Which Miley Cyrus has been doing lately as well. How many more before it becomes a headline? “The hairstyle you all have to try right now!” Does it look as good is your hair is all one colo...

Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost attend Saturday Night Live after party together
We first heard about Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost after last season’s finale of Saturday Night Live. They were supposedly making out at the after-party. Then she made out with her lawyer, Kevin Yorn. After that she and Colin were seen together in the Hamptons and over Labour Day. Saturday ni...
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle kiss and cuddle at Invictus Games closing ceremony
I don’t know how it seemed outside of Toronto, but here in Toronto, the Invictus Games felt like a huge success. Something positive to focus on amidst the relentless sh-t that’s been 2017. And an example to look to and at. Prince Harry does not like to take too much credit for the Invictus Games....
Jay-Z's emotional performance on Saturday Night Live
Jay-Z was the musical guest on SNL on Saturday night. He performed two songs from 4:44 and made quiet but powerful statements with both. First, Damien Marley joined Jay on stage for their song Bam, not my favourite track on 4:44 but I liked the vibe of the performance. The statement came in the f...
Ryan Gosling cracks up as host on Saturday Night Live
I’m pretty sure Ryan Gosling cracked up during every live sketch this weekend on Saturday Night Live. And I think Ryan Gosling breaking is one of the reasons why, more and more, people are loving Ryan Gosling on SNL. To watch him fall apart. He couldn’t even hold it together during the monologue....
Emma Stone rumoured to be dating Saturday Night Live staff member Dave McCary
Ryan Gosling hosted the season premiere of Saturday Night Live this weekend. We’ll get to him in a minute. Emma Stone came out near the end of his opening monologue for a La La Land reunion and according to E! News she was also at the after-party, which takes care of an email I received from a re...

Dear Gossips, Some days are sh-ttier than others. I’m so sorry. This was not the open that I meant to post today. But I’m not really sure how else to do it. Short of leaving this space blank then, I’ll fill it with a band that was formed in Las Vegas, a band most closely associated with Las V...
