What Else for November 30, 2018

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will be not at Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas’s wedding this week. This is not a surprise. And not just because Royal Meghan is pregnant. First of all, that wedding is being Vogued. Notice that Meghan didn’t come up in Priyanka’s Vogue feature? If Meghan is at the wedd...

Celebrity Social Media, November 30, 2018

Rami Malek continues to gain momentum for an Oscar nomination. RDJ is a very seasoned pro, and he’s making a very public show of support here. It always helps to have friends like RDJ (even if he doesn’t know how to use hashtags).          View this post on Instagr...

Lana Condor's wholesome aesthetic and childlike optimism featured in Who What Wear profile

Lana Condor is an LG fave. We’ve been obsessed with her since August when her charm and capability exploded off the screen in To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before. Today I realized that while we’ve been falling for Lana Condor, we still don’t know a lot about her. Part of that has to do with the fact t...

Miley Cyrus releases new single and video "Nothing Breaks Like a Heart" with Mark Ronson

Can you call it a comeback if she’s been here for years? Can you call it comeback if her last reinvention was just over a year ago? People are calling Miley Cyrus’s new song and video with Mark Ronson her “comeback.” I wouldn’t call it that. I’d call it a new single that follows a very typical relea...

Emily Blunt's Outfit of the Week at the Mary Poppins Returns premiere

The Outfit of the Week posts are usually on the LifeStyle page. The reason it’s being featured here is that there’s more to say about Emily Blunt, particularly right now, and also about John Krasinski. But let’s start with the fashion…because THIS DRESS.  I sent it to Danielle Graham, the host of...

Diane Kruger and Norman Reedus photographed while out with their new baby

I forgot Norman Reedus and Diane Kruger are a thing. They’ve been together for a couple of years now, but they generally keep a low profile, so they just kind of slipped out of my celebrity-couple brain space. (Which is mostly occupied by Zendalland , anyway.) And they have a baby! I think I knew Kr...

Bradley Cooper honoured at the American Cinematheque Award dinner

Bradley Cooper was honoured last night at the American Cinematheque Award dinner. He couldn’t skip this one. As I’ve mentioned, Bradley’s maintained a pretty low public profile the last couple of months, since the release of A Star is Born, despite it being Oscar campaign season and almost everyone ...

Richard Madden addresses Bond casting rumors in GQ cover profile

Even though we’re still two years away from seeing Daniel Craig’s last turn as James Bond, we cannot stop speculating about the next 007, you know, the one that is, like, five years from being a real thing. To that end, Richard Madden is British GQ’s January cover dude and he is, naturally, talking ...

Andrew Garfield reportedly dating Rita Ora

Random as f-ck.  The Sun reported yesterday that Andrew Garfield and Rita Ora are dating. They were both at the Evening Standard Awards a couple of weeks ago. Let’s break down how this story is being sold to us: The singer, 28, is in the early stages of a relationship with the Hollywood star f...

What Else for November 29, 2018

Taylor Swift has a new title. As we’ve seen, she likes records. She likes being the “most this” or the "biggest that”. I would like that too. I know there’s an ongoing conversation about changing the markers of success and it is a valid discussion, but at the same time, I’m also not mad at women lis...

Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas's wedding to be featured on Vogue January cover

Brag alert – I knew it! Back on October 30th, following Priyanka Chopra’s bridal shower at Tiffany, when she wore Marchesa, which Anna Wintour has been trying to boost, I predicted that it would be a Vogue wedding. Vogue confirmed today that Priyanka will be on the cover of the January issue …   ...

The Women of Black Panther are Entertainment Weekly's Entertainers of the Year

I’m looking at a webpage open to Entertainment Weekly’s Entertainers of the Year post, specifically the one on the women of Black Panther. The window that I’m looking at is currently frozen on a Clairol ad, featuring a black woman with curly, seemingly natural hair. Her smile is staring back at me. ...

Awkwafina has had a big year, with Ocean’s 8, Crazy Rich Asians, an EP (In Fina We Trust), and hosting SNL, the iHeartRadio MMVAs, and the Hollywood Film Awards. And now, to cap it off, comes the announcement that Awkwafina will star in her own comedy series on Comedy Central. The show will be calle...

Jennifer Lopez looks unreal on Ellen as she promotes Second Act

Peace on earth, goodwill to (all) – this is supposed to be the season of kindness, right? Well, there’s a quiet war going on. It’s the war for the Christmas audience.

Princess Catherine gets candid about the kids while visiting Leicester City Football Club's King Power Stadium with Prince William

Prince William and Catherine were in Leicester yesterday visiting with members of the football club after the helicopter crash that killed several people, including the club’s owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, in October. Of course William is a big football fan but he was there in an official capacity...

Us Weekly reports Leonardo DiCaprio is ready to marry Camila Morrone

I mean… Sure. Why not?  According to Us Weekly, Camila Morrone is the one and Leonardo DiCaprio is ready to marry her. I know. I KNOW. But it’s the season of magic and miracles, right?  Leonardo DiCaprio may finally be off the market! He and girlfriend Camila Morrone “are very serious,” a s...

Michael B Jordan plays with puppies during Buzzfeed interview

I was not prepared. I tried to prepare myself. I waited until I was alone so whatever sounds left my body wouldn’t disturb my coworkers. I made sure I was hydrated in case the sight of Michael Bae Jordan and puppies made me burst into a cold sweat. I thought I was prepared.  Then the first pup...

US Weekly says Jennifer Aniston is doing great after divorce from Justin Theroux

Jennifer Aniston covers the new issue of Us Weekly and I’d love to see the print version because I’m confused about what this is. According to the captions, this is “Jen’s own story” and she “opens up” about “healing after heartbreak”. Online though, in the article that supports the story, there are...

Dear Gossips,  It’s the week of the celebrity profile/interview. We’ve had a few standouts so far and now it’s Mariah Carey’s. Mimi talked to Pitchfork about her new album, Caution. Have you been listening? I like it a lot. To me, the album as a whole is stronger than any one track. A few years a...

Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx might be getting married. I know. You’re skeptical. You should be.

This was my point earlier this week about “...

Chris Pine can dig it in I Am The Night trailer

Remember when The Best Chris had a black eye? Every time I see a trailer or news about his latest collaboration with Patty Jenkins, a TNT mini-series called I Am The Night, I think of Chris’s black eye. At the time of shooting, it was reported that the busted face was due to “an incident on set". In...

Celebrating Tessa Thompson's performance as Bianca in Creed II

Oh, you thought I was done obsessing over Creed II? I’m not. Today the focus of my obsession is what Tessa Thompson brought to her role as Bianca. The Rocky franchise is all about the underdog story. It’s about triumph in the face of insurmountable circumstances. It’s about striving for an imposs...

Paramount to produce movies exclusively for Netflix

Depending on who you talk to, tech companies investing in and/or partnering with film companies is either the end of cinema as we know it or the savior of the mid-budget movie. We still haven’t decided whether or not something shown on Netflix qualifies as a movie, so of course we have no consensus ...

Celebrity Social Media, November 28, 2018

I love the Johnsons, but you know what’s always really bothered me about black-ish? Dre is horrible to Junior, to the point that I think that’s why he and Bow should have separated. I just don’t see her putting up with him talking to and treating their child in that way. Judging by social media, it ...

Nicole Kidman says she wants younger actresses to ask her anything

I met up with one of my students last night, Erik. Erik is a cinephile, and he tries to see as many films as possible, as many times as possible. With Erik, as soon as you mention movies, you might get an hour-long monologue. Anyway, I was encouraging him to see Destroyer, and then we started talkin...

To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before sequel officially in the works

The sequel to this summer’s breakout teen rom-com hit, To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, is officially in the works. This is a surprise to no one. Teens everywhere, and me, made TATBILB one of Netflix’s “most viewed original films ever with strong repeat viewing". By “strong repeat viewing” they me...

Show Your Work: MBJ x FNL and … the problem of women’s pleasure 

On this week’s episode of Show Your Work, we begin with Michael B Jordan, the Movie Star. Hollywood doesn’t produce very many movie stars anymore.

Cameron Diaz's Gossip Nostalgia as she attends Nick Swisher's birthday party in LA with JoAnna Garcia

It’ll be four years next month since the release of Cameron Diaz’s last movie, Annie. She and Benji Madden got married a month later, in January 2015, and since then, as I say every time I write about her, she’s been really, really quiet. Earlier this year, during a reunion with Christina Applegate ...

Green Book’s precarious Oscar position following a surprisingly tumultuous week

Back in September, Green Book won the audience award at TIFF. This set it up as an Oscar front-runner, and it seemed like an inevitable Best Picture nominee. It’s a middle-of-the-road movie about race made to make white people feel good, a la Driving Miss Daisy, The Blind Side, and The Help. We’ve s...

Jameela Jamil’s IDAGF-ness is breathtaking. We’re used to seeing one or two tweets. She is pounding this issue relentlessly. And naming names. And posting photos. And using words.

Putting the Creed II soundtrack against Oscar worthy rival tracks

“Eye of The Tiger” is one of the most iconic movie songs of all time. It’s one of the reasons Rocky III is my favourite Rocky movie. I feel like the heavyweight champion of the world just listening to it. Find me in the gym (lol) listening to this song and I’m throwing jab crosses in the air like a ...

Kerry Washington supports If Beale Street Could Talk as new trailer released

I saw If Beale Street Could Talk at TIFF. It crushed me. Love is HARD. Love is often sold to us as easy, too easy. “Love is all you need.” If only that could be the truth.  But while love is complicated at the best of times, as Kathleen often says, borrowing a quote from Vulture’s Dee Lockett, “b...

Lin-Manuel Miranda is unexplored in Vanity Fair

If this site had a daily thesis, today’s is ‘the celebrity profile is not dead’. So obviously I dove greedily into Lin-Manuel Miranda’s cover profile in Vanity Fair. But I came away feeling flat and disappointed. Upset, even. Not what I expected at all. Am I the only one?  Maybe. Because my di...

Taron Egerton and Jamie Foxx in Robin Hood movie review

(Lainey: The headlines about Robin Hood aren’t great. Forbes calls it the “most predictable box office bomb” of the year.

Amanda Bynes breaks the internet in Paper magazine cover feature

In the four years since Amanda Bynes “broke the Internet” before Paper Magazine made that term a thing, and for very different reasons than the other breakers of browsers, the Internet has changed.

British tabloids report Meghan Markle made Princess Catherine cry before the royal wedding

Earlier this month, it was reported that there was some tiara drama before Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding. Supposedly Royal Meghan wanted to wear a certain tiara and she ended up with another one, even though Harry insisted that “what Meghan wants, Meghan gets”. If you recall, in my post a...

Michael B Jordan is officially a Movie Star with Creed II weekend box office success

Creed II was a big hit this weekend at the box office with a total Wednesday to Sunday gross of $55 million, making it the best American Thanksgiving opening ever for a live action film.

Shawn Mendes is on the cover of Rolling Stone flaunting his Great Hair. The hair-heavy cover is accompanied by his most revealing feature to date.

Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson were first seen together in October 2017. Chris was not at Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Falchuk’s (#TheFaltrows) wedding in September.

It’s going to be impossible for me to put aside my bias to write this review. My dog’s name is Apollo Creed.

Olivia Colman, Rachel Weisz, and Emma Stone in The Favourite movie review

Yorgos Lanthimos is not interested in teaching a history lesson, so The Favourite is an historical drama heavier on drama than historicity.

I f-cking love that story so much.

Teaser trailer for The Lion King is a beautiful money grab

Disney already gets most of our money, what with Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and their revolving door of animated classics being turned into live action films.

Aaron Carter says he paved the way for artists like Justin Bieber

Oh, you haven’t heard? Aaron Carter is a trailblazing music icon. He walked so Justin Bieber could run. History has not given 2000’s seminal classic “That’s How I Beat Shaq” the respect it deserves. The album Aaron’s Party (Come Get It) only won a Kids’ Choice Award and not multiple Grammys. A MUSIC...

When our site manager Emily emailed over the new Entertainment Weekly cover featuring Michael Bae Jordan and Tessa Thompson, she wrote, “K, you’re not okay, I can feel it.” She was right. I am NOT OKAY. Look at these two perfect alien angel models. I was not okay from the first sentence of the secon...

Joshua Jackson photographed holding hands with girlfriend Jodie Turner-Smith

I didn’t know Jodie Turner-Smith’s name until yesterday. I wasn’t familiar with her work or her face. I learned Jodie’s name and face when photos surfaced of her walking hand-in-hand with Joshua Jackson. Pacey Witter strolling down the street holding hands with anyone is headline-worthy for me. Pace...

Meghan Markle in sequins at the Royal Variety Performance with Prince Harry

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attended the Royal Variety Performance last night in London. It was her first time at the event. They sat in the royal box and met with some of the performers, including Gary Barlow and the cast of Hamilton. There was a lot of belly-cupping. There was some signature Su...

Dolly Parton covers PEOPLE magazine as part of Oscar campaign for Dumplin'

Nicole Kidman at the Governors Awards and Boy Erased movie review

(Lainey: Nicole Kidman is currently promoting Boy Erased. In a couple of weeks she’ll be promoting Destroyer.

Michael B Jordan at the Governors Awards

The Black Panther cast was mostly present and accounted for at the Governors Awards reminding me how much I love them all but I’m going to focus on my man Michael Bae Jordan. He wore an impeccably tailored white suit jacket that he can wear to our wedding if he wants. MBJ’s presence at the Governors...

Constance Wu, Michelle Yeoh, and co: Team Crazy Rich Asians at the Governors Awards

There aren’t usually this many Asians at Oscar events. Because there aren’t usually all-Asian casts in Hollywood. Crazy Rich Asians came out in August. It’s one of the most successful movies of the year. It does actually have an outside shot at a couple of nominations, including Best Picture. So, ye...

Team Black Panther campaigns for Oscar at the Governors Awards

The citizens of Wakanda turned out for the Governor Awards, with Chadwick Boseman, Danai Gurira, Lupita Nyong’o, and Michael B. Jordan on hand.

Celebrity Social Media, November 19, 2018

Apparently Jennifer Garner’s new boyfriend’s ex-wife posted that she found out her divorce was finalized on the Internet. But where is the post? I can’t find it and or a screenshot anywhere. Maybe she didn’t want the drama. But with that one post, we know she has some kind of feeling about what is h...

Taylor Swift signs with Universal Music Group and Republic Records

As we’ve discussed a few times in the last few weeks,  one of the biggest issues in the music business, maybe the biggest issue in the music business, has been the Free Agency of Taylor Swift. Taylor’s deal with Big Machine Label Group just expired. And everyone’s been waiting to see whether or not ...

Claire Foy co-hosts the Evening Standard Theater Awards

Claire Foy co-hosted the Evening Standard Theater Awards over the weekend, showing up in a McQueen that I wish was either not off the shoulder, or had shorter sleeves, one or the other, because right now the sleeves are doing too much. Foy is enjoying the last days of her reign at television’s Queen...

Rami Malek attends the Governors Awards with girlfriend Lucy Boynton

It’s a one-person team, really. Bohemian Rhapsody continues to perform very well at the box office. Right now it’s approaching $400 million worldwide and could make as much as $500 globally by the end of its theatrical run. Despite the problems that many critics – including Sarah – had with the film...

Hailey Baldwin officially changes her last name to Bieber on Instagram

The model formerly known as Hailey Baldwin has officially changed her Instagram handle to @haileybieber. Her full IG name is now “Hailey Rhode Bieber".

Lady Gaga and Sam Elliott: Team A Star Is Born at the Governors Awards

Martin Levy was one of the honorary Oscar recipients at the Governors Awards last night.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald movie review

In my review of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, I wrote, “A movie where Newt does a silly mating dance with a glowy rhinoceros does not also need to contain a bleak storyline about an abusive orphanage matron who whips the closeted wizard in her care. They’re just not compatible.” Guess wha...

Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade name newborn daughter Kaavia

I mean, I’m not made of stone. I love this. How could I not? The reveal of Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade’s baby born via surrogate on November 7th was more than just a typical baby announcement for several reasons. First because she’s been very open about her struggles with infertility, meaning...

Taron Egerton and Sofia Boutella have dinner together in LA

Taron Egerton is currently promoting Robin Hood. This movie was shot a while ago. The release date was pushed back at least once. There were all kinds of rumours about production being a mess.

Ariana Grande cut her hair

It takes commitment to create a signature look. Ariana Grande has a signature look: oversized sweatshirt, over-the-knee boots, and a high very long ponytail. Last week she told Camila Cabello the cost of that ponytail – a lot of pain. It’s true. I have long hair too. And every time I have it styled ...

Armie Hammer apologizes after Jeffrey Dean Morgan calls him out for Stan Lee tweet

I posted earlier in the week about this possible emerging trend: November sucks for Armie Hammer or Armie Hammer sucks in November. To refresh, he decided to sh-t on people – celebrities in particular – for posting pictures of themselves with Stan Lee on social media. And when he was criticized on s...

Florence Pugh is everywhere, including in first trailer for Fighting With My Family

Florence Pugh broke out with Lady Macbeth in 2016, and now, as is wont to happen, she is everywhere. She is currently on Netflix, being underutilized in Outlaw King. She will next be seen in The Little Drummer Girl with Alexander Skarsgard, and she is filming Greta Gerwig’s new take on Little Women....

Kacey Musgraves was the CMAs Best Dressed

This is not an outfit I expected to see at the Country Music Association Awards. At the same time, it’s a really, really country outfit. Which kinda describes what I’m learning about Kacey Musgraves and her career.  According to The Ringer, Kacey “beat the CMAs by not joining them”, her win and h...

Justin Bieber's "season of self-discovery"

The Favourite is one of my favorite films of the year—yes, I see that, too—and it will be rolling out starting next week, beginning a hopeful Oscar charge.

Keith Urban calls Nicole Kidman his "baby girl" in CMA acceptance speech

Keith Urban won Entertainer of The Year at the CMA Awards. He was shocked, and not in a Taylor Swift Surprised Face way.

Michael B Jordan premieres Creed II in New York

Michael B Jordan is in Toronto today promoting Creed II.

Can Rami Malek challenge Bradley Cooper in Best Actor Oscar race?

Critics’ reactions to Bohemian Rhapsody have been mixed – click here to read Sarah’s thoughts on the film if you missed it – but it is definitely a crowd-pleaser with the box office to match, already crossing the $100 million mark in the US and bringing in strong numbers internationally for a total ...

Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley host the 2018 CMAs

It’s been 11 years, right? That Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley have hosted the Country Music Association Awards? The point is, it’s been many, many years. It’s now a tradition. And as I’ve said over the years, I enjoy watching them, I enjoy their chemistry. I especially enjoy that they keep sayin...

Prince William, Catherine, Prince Harry, and Meghan celebrate Prince Charles's 70th birthday

The Queen hosted a party to celebrate Prince Charles’s 70th birthday last night at Buckingham Palace.

Here’s a shot of Charles and Camilla at Clarence...

Chance The Rapper, Cardi B, and TI get their own show

YES, PLEASE. I yell those two words at my computer screen often. Usually, it’s at pictures of Michael Bae Jordan or when I see a casting announcement I’m excited for.

Jill Scott trending on Twitter for simulating fellatio on a microphone in NSFW video

Whenever a celebrity trends on Twitter, especially when it’s a celeb we don’t talk about often, I worry it’s because something bad happened. I worry for the health of that celebrity.

Claire Foy in The Girl in the Spider’s Web movie review

The Girl in the Spider’s Web is an attempt to reboot the potential franchise started by the English-language reboot of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, but it did not open well, with less than $10 million on opening weekend. And with a B CinemaScore, it didn’t really impress audiences, either. Despi...

Jennifer Aniston in a tiara in first trailer for Netflix's Dumplin'

Duana is getting her wish, over and over again, this year - maybe not how she initially imagined it, but I don’t think she’s complaining. She predicted “tiaras and sh-t” and we’ve seen some “tiaras and sh-t” in 2018, haven’t we?  Here’s the latest tiara of 2018 - worn by Jennifer Aniston, in the ...

Tom Cruise in a flight suit on the set of the Top Gun sequel

There were reports originating out of the UK recently that they’ve had to delay shooting the Top Gun sequel so that Tom Cruise could learn to fly fighter jets.

Céline Dion's insane promo for gender neutral kids clothing line

When Lainey teased that CĂ©line Dion would be releasing a new promo for her gender neutral kids’ clothing line where she gets thrown to the ground and handcuffed by police, I was worried this was going to be Celine’s Kendall Jenner Pepsi moment. Celine’s full ad is here and thankfully, it’s not offen...

Channing Tatum shouts out Jessie J on social media following performance at Royal Albert Hall

Back in the day, many celebrities would mark their official coming out as a couple with a red carpet appearance. The “red carpet debut” has long been a gossip staple.

Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton's cringey PDA at the People's Choice Awards

In case you forgot, Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani would like to remind us all they are still together and SO IN LOVE. I think Lainey asked me to write about Blake and Gwen’s PDA at the People’s Choice Awards because she assumed I’d be into it. Usually, I love corny grand romantic gestures. To clari...

Tom Hiddleston takes his dog for a walk in London

Tom Hiddleston was making headlines a few days ago when it was announced that there would be a new Loki standalone live-action series on Disney’s new streaming service, Disney+.

Henry Cavill's curly hair at the GQ Men of the Year Awards

Is there one? Probably not. Probably I’m suggesting the existence of something that doesn’t exist.

Lady Gaga covers Variety in Oscar campaign for A Star is Born

We are in it now. It’s mid-November. Golden Globe nominations will be announced in three weeks.

Scarlett Johansson wins at the 2018 People's Choice Awards

The People’s Choice Awards have always been kind of a joke. I feel like by now even the MiniVan Majority knows this? They’re trying to elevate the PCAs by airing them on E! but I’m not sure that makes a difference. E! is part of NBCUniversal. NBC has the TV rights to a much more popular awards show ...

Michael B Jordan promotes Creed II with GQ cover feature

Michael Bae Jordan’s “Man of the Year” feature in GQ shares many similarities to his cover story in Vanity Fair last month. MBJ’s goals – to be an International Movie Star like Denzel, Leo, Tom, Will or Brad – are the focus of both. The biggest difference is that the GQ piece, which dropped yesterda...

Jennifer Garner steps out with John Miller after finalizing divorce with Ben Affleck

For far too long, we underestimated Jennifer Garner’s fame game. There are other Hollywood stars who are media masters but most of them are flashy about their media strategy, few of them are as good at it and, at the same time, as stealthy about it as Jennifer Garner. This is why I started calling h...

Armie Hammer has another bad November as he tweets about Stan Lee's passing

They used to say that Will Smith owns July. So many of his blockbuster movies were released in July that that was an understood thing in Hollywood.

Ryan Reynolds stars as Detective Pikachu in first trailer for new Pokémon movie with Justice Smith

Monday’s pop culture moment was supposed to belong to Toy Story 4. Disney dropped that trailer early, undoubtedly expecting to dominate the full news cycle.

First trailer for Toy Story 4 introduces new character, Forky

Toy Story is one of the most beloved film franchises of all time, spanning generations and ever-improving visual effects to tell a story of toys and friendship and sentience and love and the nightmarish confines of utilitarian purpose and the magic of childhood. I love these movies—DON’T LIE, YOU TE...

First trailer released for Andy Serkis's Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle

Jon Favreau made a hybrid live-action/animated Jungle Book that was really quite good, so much so it bagged him the job of directing the new Lion King, and also good enough that it threw Andy Serkis’s competing project into considerable shade. Back then Serkis’s project was called Jungle Book: Origi...

Chris Pine in Outlaw King movie review

Outlaw King, aka the movie with the Pine nuts, is a spiritual sequel to Braveheart, overlapping with the end of that movie to tell the story of Robert the Bruce, the man who finished the job and defeated the English, creating a sovereign kingdom of Scotland. Chris Pine reunites with Hell or High Wat...

Letitia Wright, Lana Condor, Stephan James included in The Hollywood Reporter's Next Gen list

Every year, The Hollywood Reporter releases their “Next Gen” list – the actors under 35 that make up Hollywood’s next generation. This issue always makes me happy. In 2016, the issue featuring Zendaya on its cover gave me hope for the future on the day after America chose a pretty f-cking bleak futu...

Noah Centineo's damage control and "Next Gen" cover of The Hollywood Reporter

Lainey’s nickname for Noah Centineo is Peter Noah. I used to call him Peter Noah Kavinsky Centineo. The lines were blurred between Peter Kavinsky, our beloved character from To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, and Noah Centineo, “thirst architect". The lines were blurred by design. Noah leaned into h...

Zoë Kravitz and Karl Glusman on the red carpet for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald

This is not the first time ZoĂ« Kravitz and Karl Glusman have walked a red carpet together. I think it’s been a while since we’ve seen them together on a carpet but, again, it’s not new. What’s new is that this is the first carpet they’ve been on together since she revealed that they are engaged. Pro...

Michael B Jordan promotes Creed II in Atlanta as featurette is released

Creed II comes out in two weeks, which seems impossible. The trailer just came out the other day! Except, no, the trailer came out in June. FIVE MONTHS AGO.

Justin Timberlake and Olivia Munn Gossip Nostalgia

Last week I posted about Justin Timberlake’s new book, Hindsight, and how he told – and sanitised – the story of his romance with Jessica Biel.

Prince Charles’s media month continues with BBC documentary

Prince Charles’s 70th birthday is next week.

She’s one of those legendary actors you describe as a “national treasure.” Which nation’s treasure is she? Canada loves her. She ...

Celebrity Social Media, November 7, 2018

Last night, it felt like most of social media was preoccupied with the elections in the US. So whenever I would scroll past this little thirst nugget, I’d think, “Not now, Noah!” He’s kind of like a puppy that way. Cute but sometimes you need a break.          View...

Olivia Munn tells Busy Philipps about dating advice from Jamie Foxx

I’m not watching Busy Tonight. Should I be? Since I’m not watching Busy Tonight, I missed the episode the other night where Olivia Munn talked about her friendship with Jamie Foxx. Apparently, Jamie and Olivia have been friends since 2010. Jamie Foxx has a lot of random celebrity friendships. Rememb...

Exhausting Justin Theroux shops on Rodeo Drive

A year ago Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux were still together. They actually spent the holidays together. Does it feel like it’s been longer? Does it feel like it’s been longer because he is so f-cking exhausting?  One of the major reasons behind the breakup, reportedly, was location. Justin...

Ariana Grande named Billboard's Woman of the Year as she channels First Wives Club for Ellen performance

Did I know? Of course I didn’t know. I had no idea that Ariana Grande would become such a delight. Seriously. It’s super corny to say but she can’t stop being delightful and bringing me so much delight. Which is a f-cked up thing to say because she’s been through so much f-cksh-t and if there was an...

Netflix gifts Richard Madden with water bottles and pokes fun at thirsty fans

Here’s Richard Madden at Heathrow yesterday. The reason I’m doing a post about him is because I know many of you have been watching Bodyguard on Netflix and are feeling things. Maybe what you’re feeling is an extension of what you felt after you watched Ibiza on Netflix this summer, a terrible movie...

November 7, 2018 – Smutty Shout-Outs

Amy! Happy Birthday with love from Nick. Congratulations on your big year – you graduated, you have a new job, you are showing your work! But some things never change: Mark Ruffalo forever, no thank you Jimmy Fallon, and… well….let’s check back in in 2019 to see how you feel about Noah Centineo. May...

Intro for November 7, 2018

Dear Gossips,  As you know, a few weeks ago, for the first time, Taylor Swift made it clear who she was voting for in the US midterm elections. Since then, she’s been consistently encouraging her fans to register to vote, to vote early, and to stay engaged. Taylor endorsed Jim Cooper for House of...

What Else for November 6, 2018

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will reportedly be going to court over custody of their six children in December. Just in time for the holidays! Since we know that the trial is happening, somehow, because someone told TMZ, I’m wondering if we’re also going to get a play-by-play of the proceedings, whic...

Luca Guadagnino’s Suspiria starring Dakota Johnson movie review

Dario Argento’s Suspiria is a Giallo classic, famous for its lurid colors and expression of feminale repression and power. Luca Guadagnino’s Suspiria—less a remake and more a reimagining—is going to be famous for its marathon length and multiple good performances from Tilda Swinton. Wisely, Guadagni...

Zayn describes himself as "a bit of an island" in new British Vogue interview

We are supposed to call Zayn Malik just “Zayn”, no more Malik. I’m still not used to it. Anyway, Zayn is featured in the new issue of British Vogue and in the excerpt, it’s not clear what this is for. Obviously, presumably, there’s new music coming out, but this isn’t mentioned, because the focus he...

Celebrity Social Media, November 6, 2018

Yesterday I wrote that Rebel Wilson needed to correct her mistake by apologizing and moving on. She has, but it took a lot to get to this point – doubling down on assertion that she is the plus size woman to star in a rom-com, blocking women, particularly WOC, who tried to point out that she was mis...

Shawn Mendes and Khalid release "Youth", encouraging young people to vote

There’s a good chance you come to this site for snark. By now, you know us. You get us. We live for gossip and pop culture analysis, mostly with a side of snark. This post will be severely lacking in that department because after watching the music video for Shawn Mendes and Khalid’s “Youth",  I’ve ...

Show Your Work: Harry and Meghan’s report card and how to pitch

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle kicked off their first overseas tour when we recorded the first episode of this season of Show Your Work so we gave them a checklist. It’s time to grade their performance. Did they hit the specific targets that we set for them? And about that Sussex PDA… In a piece ...

Idris Elba is PEOPLE's 2018 Sexiest Man Alive

Idris Elba has been a legitimate Sexiest Man Alive contender for years. In fact, last year he was my runner-up prediction. There are very few “arguments against” Idris Elba. The biggest and most consistent “argument against” Idris Elba is that he’s not American, as the majority of PEOPLE’s SMAs are ...

Michael B Jordan is not PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive 2018

If you have been a regular visitor of this site for the last 15 years, you know that at this time of year, this week exactly actually, I handicap a list of possible contenders for PEOPLE’s annual Sexiest Man Alive and make a prediction. Click here to see last year’s feature. PEOPLE is doing this a w...

November 6, 2018 – Smutty Shout-Outs

For Shelby who spent her last moments with Pam and for Pam who had the honour of being with Shelby at the end – it’s not easy but, in my opinion, this is the kindest, most loving way to say goodbye. After all they bring to us in the short time they’re here, when possible, they deserve those final mo...

Intro for November 6, 2018

Dear Gossips,  On Saturday night, at precisely 11:08pm, I texted Duana:  “I’m obsessed with Ariana Grande. It’s official.” Her response: “I love when you have a turnaround.” It’s true. It’s a turnaround. And, if you’ve been reading this site consistently for a while, you would hav...

What Else for November 5, 2018

Kathleen here, handling What Else for Lainey today because she’s busy interviewing Elvis Stojko. And by “interviewing” I mean she’s fangirling HARD. We almost had to bring security in when she interviewed him on The Social today.  This is why we stan. Rihanna found out that Donald Trump had the c...

Sabrina and Harvey Kinkle's sickeningly cute moments in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina

Lainey asked about the teen angst in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, but there isn’t a lot of angst because Sabrina is in a happy, sickeningly cute relationship with Harvey Kinkle. Honestly, they’re so cute it’s gross. They do gross things like kiss and spin in circles. Really, it’s no wonder that p...

Kate Beckinsale seen making out with Jack Whitehall

The last time there was an update on Kate Beckinsale’s love life it was back in September, just a couple of months ago, when she stepped out with Matt Rife, a model. She and Matt were first seen together in the summer of 2017, photographed kissing in LA. My Photo Assumption at the time was that he w...

The Spice Girls announce tour minus Victoria Beckham

It wasn’t much of a surprise. Which is why it’s not really breaking the internet even though I read some hilarious headlines yesterday that the announcement would probably break the internet. No announcement breaks the internet when the announcement is preceded by an announcement announcing that the...

Model/actor/It Boy Lukas Sabbat is being sued by an eyewear company for “failure to influence”. This sounds like a case for the Millennial People’s Court.         View this post on Instagram                      ...

Janet Jackson calls out injustice during MTV EMAs speech

If it feels like the only stories we’re hearing about the #MeToo movement recently are about people offensively maligning it or about another “disgraced” man heading back to work, know that its founder, Tarana Burke, is still putting in her work. There are still women who are sharing their stories a...

Anne Hathaway honours Hugh Jackman at the Hollywood Film Awards

Hugh Jackman received the Hollywood Actor Award at the Hollywood Film Awards last night for his performance in Jason Reitman’s The Front Runner which doesn’t come out until November 21. Like I said, this is a bizarre event on the awards circuit but it’s meant to position Oscar campaigns and set up s...

Ariana Grande thanks her exes in new single, "Thank U, Next"

Sometimes, I get to speak at my old high school. It makes me feel REAL OLD instead of the SO YOUNG that I’m used to but it’s pretty rewarding because I get to give impressionable youth my favourite piece of non-work related advice: Break. Up. With. Him. It’s advice I wish I’d gotten, not that I real...

The Walking Dead's Rick Grimes bait and switch

SPOILERS FOR RICK GRIMES I quit watching The Walking Dead a few years ago and I HAVE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER TO QUIT A SHOW. I regularly lose interest in long-running TV shows—I like for things to end, eventually—but I have never felt the palpable RELIEF I felt after quitting The Walking Dead. I remem...

Brad Pitt presents at the Hollywood Film Awards as Angelina Jolie spends time with the kids in South Korea

Angelina Jolie was seen in South Korea a few days ago. She was there on assignment for the UNHCR but also spent time with son Maddox, now 17, touring several university campuses. Maddox, according to PEOPLE, has been taking Korean language classes and is interested in studying in Korea. Pax was also...

Intro for November 5, 2018

Dear Gossips,  The Hollywood Film Awards happened last night and, as I always say about the Hollywood Film Awards, they’re about as prestigious as the MTV Movie Awards, which is to say not all that prestigious, and the recipients are chosen ahead of time, and determined in cooperation with the fi...

What Else for November 2, 2018

Gwyneth Paltrow has posted photos of her wedding on goop. Earlier this year, I was expecting that the wedding would be packaged in goop magazine. But that was before goop and CondĂ© Nast broke up. You know, because, CondĂ© Nast wanted them to fact-check things. What a pain in the ass, those fact-check...

Bohemian Rhapsody review starring Rami Malek

Rami Malek is very good in Bohemian Rhapsody. As Freddie Mercury, legendary frontman of Queen, one of the greatest arena bands of all time, he struts and stalks his way through a hell of an impression that is prevented from becoming a true characterization only by the limits of the REALLY POOR scrip...

Celebrity Social Media, November 2, 2018

Hugh Jackman is getting some very rare negative attention for hanging out with Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner. They are tight, and have been for a very long time.  The fact that they have maintained their friendship should not be a surprise: Wendi Deng is the rich glue that holds them all together. ...

Rebel Wilson doubles down on her ignorant statement about plus-sized rom-com stars

Yesterday, I wrote about the trailer for Rebel Wilson’s new movie Isn’t It Romantic?. A couple hours later, I saw this quote by Rebel from her appearance on Ellen:  "I’m proud to be the first-ever plus-sized girl to be the star of a romantic comedy."  Insert face palm emoji. As many people on ...

Beyoncé calls mom Tina 'TMZ' after 29 Instagrams from Halloween party

BeyoncĂ©’s first Halloween costume was Phoni Braxton. Her second Halloween costume was Florence Griffith-Joyner. I am old enough to remember watching Flo-Jo race. And race with so much flair - her nails, her outfits, her hair in the wind she was creating for herself… so of course, OF COURSE, it makes...

Harry Styles interviews Timothee Chalamet for i-D and it's exceptionally good

“I’m no authority on this.” Timothee Chalamet says this partway through his interview with Harry Styles for i-D magazine and to me, it’s a subtle indication of the tone of the whole piece. Timothee and Harry are heartthrobs. They are the teen dreams of this moment and, intentionally or not, they ...

Channing Tatum and Jessie J might not be so "very new"

News broke just three weeks ago that Channing Tatum and Jessie J are dating. At the time, it was reportedly “very new”. They’ve not yet been seen together publicly, no photos, not by the paps or on social media. A few days ago though, at a Halloween party, Jenna Dewan went public with her new boyfri...

Prince Charles VF piece is full of work shade aimed at William and Kate

Yesterday Lainey wrote about Prince Charles’s Vanity Fair profile and how it is a rebranding, showing him in a kinder, more familial light. Sure, yeah, all of that. But did you catch the work shade?! One of the phrases lobbed at Prince William and Duchess Kate a lot is “work-shy”. There is constant ...

Ariana Grande fires back at Pete Davidson's bad SNL jokes on Twitter

Oh, so THIS is how this breakup is going to go. That was my first thought when I saw that Ariana Grande had tweeted (indirectly but very obviously) about Pete Davidson after a new Saturday Night Live promo dropped poking fun at their quickie engagement.  ɢᴇᴛ á´‡xᴄɪᴛᴇᴅ!@JonahHill hosts #SNL this...

Justin Timberlake promotes memoir Hindsight on Fallon

Justin Timberlake’s book, Hindsight, came out this week. It’s being called a memoir. I don’t know who was asking for this. Was Justin ever a mystery to you? Some artists are enigmas, sure, and getting a glimpse into their minds would certainly be interesting. He is not one of them. “I’m so curious a...

Intro for November 2, 2018

Dear Gossips, HBO has still not confirmed exactly when the final season of Game of Thrones will premiere. Most people expect it to be either late March or April and if that’s really the case, winter will come after winter. It’s closer, sure, but it’s not that close. Between now and then there’s a...

What Else for November 1, 2018

When Sarah started watching The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina last weekend, she namechecked “Satan” a lot in our texts. And there were a lot of exclamation points, like surprise at how much “Satan” there was in the show. I’m surprised that there are actual Satanists that exist. Is it just me? Anywa...

Best spells used in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina

There is so much magic in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. Some of it is Wiccan, some of it is practical, and some of it is the kind of thing Jack Parsons was doing when he wasn’t building rockets in the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. All of it is cool. But not all of it is equal, as some spells are clea...

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle cap their successful overseas tour with a royal belly cup

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle wrapped up their first overseas tour on Tuesday and reportedly flew back to London yesterday. By all accounts, it was a smash hit. They kicked it off with a major announcement, they hit up as many destinations as possible, there were huge crowds at the walkabouts, Roya...

Kiera Knightley is BONKERS in The Nutcracker

The Nutcracker and the Four Realms is Disney’s live-action, non-ballet scramble of The Nutcracker. It’s the story you may know and might love, remixed for an alternate reality where children are entertained by elaborate Victorian fantasies, and I can’t wait for the sequel, The Velveteen Rabbit and t...

Carly Rae Jepsen’s new single “Party For One” is infectious and joyful

This morning, Lainey wrote about the teaser for Carly Rae Jepsen’s new single “Party For One”. She was hyping us up for the full drop. Well, it’s here and it’s classic Carly: infectious, joyful, and a certified BOP. A good pop song is catchy but a great one— the ones that Carly constantly delivers –...

'Isn’t It Romantic?' trailer released

The romantic comedy is back. As you know from the numerous posts we’ve devoted to every movie of the current rom-com resurgence, we think it’s about damn time. There was a point in time when you could look at the box office options on any given weekend and the romantic misadventures of Meg Ryan or J...

Prince Charles Vanity Fair feature paints him as more fun and relaxed than the younger Royals

Whoa.  We’ve been talking about Prince Charles quite a bit this week, especially as excerpts from Robert Jobson’s biography on the future king have been leaked. In brief – Robert Jobson has been a royal reporter for three decades and travelled on official tours with Charles for 18 months doing re...

Why We Hired Bryan Singer: An Excuse

Everyone is trying to get ahead of the Esquire exposé coming down the pipe about Bryan Singer. A couple weeks ago it was Singer himself preemptively stating the article is a hit piece, and now Fox is setting up their defense in case this thing blows up. There are unnamed but production-related sourc...

Deciding if Mel B’s Halloween costume threw shade at Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckham was with all four of her kids out trick-or-treating last night in London. I’m not sure if Brooklyn’s was a costume (he had a cane) but Romeo went as some kind of demon, Cruz put on a Chicago Blackhawks jersey, and little Harper Seven was, I think, a demented cheerleader. No sign of ...

Intro for November 1, 2018

Dear Gossips, I’m writing this at 730am ET. I wonder though if by the time you read this it’ll have happened already, what I woke up waiting for: Carly Rae Jepsen’s new song, “Party for One”. I’ve mentioned before how much of an asshole I am for not mentioning enough my love for her last album, E...
