Cher is a true icon (a not in the way icon is thrown around these days) but even she has succumbed to the holiday haze. I’m sure I put on 500 lbs In the last 2 days — Cher (@cher) December 27, 2018 Kate Beckinsale is right, “perineum” is the perfect word for this week.   ...

Jake Gyllenhaal with girlfriend Jeanne Cadieu in Paris

I first posted about Jake Gyllenhaal with a new girlfriend at the end of August when he was seen with a then-unidentified woman, now known to be model Jeanne Cadieu, on a couple of occasions, including a trip to Greece.  Jake and Jeanne were photographed together in New York with a friend a coupl...

Will Angelina Jolie run for office?

Angelina Jolie guest-edited BBC Radio 4 Today and is making headlines for how she responded to a question about running for office. Per The Guardian:  The Hollywood star pondered her future as she guest-edited BBC Radio 4’s flagship Today programme. She told presenter Justin Webb she “can take a ...

UK Sun desperately depicts Meghan Markle as a weed smoking threat

Last week, Buzzfeed posted an article about whether or not royal reporters in Britain have been racist in their coverage of Meghan Markle. Since it was revealed that she and Prince Harry have been together, the UK tabloids have published one gross headline after another, consistently reminding their...

Intro for December 28, 2018

Dear Gossips, It’s almost the end of the year…and we still don’t know who’s hosting the Oscars, which is happening in less than two months. Could be because it’s slow right now, and the Academy is holding back on the announcement until next week, when everyone is back at work, when they can maxim...

Is this shade? It’s too bad Shade Court is permanently closed because otherwise Kara Brown could weigh in on whether or not Jennifer Lopez singing “All I Want For Christmas Is You” right before Christmas, and on camera, strutting into a TV station like a boss would be considered shade. The true defi...

Celebrity Social Media, December 27, 2018

Lea Michele had her bridal shower over the holidays – in preparation for a New Year’s Eve wedding? If not then, it will be soon. What kind of dress do you think she will wear? I’m guessing it will be ornate with some sheerness. Usually I call that “figure skating mesh” but that’s not the correct ter...

Timothee Chalamet and Lily-Rose Depp together in Paris

If Andrew Garfield and Rita Ora were among the most random celebrity hookups of the year, Timothee Chalamet and Lily-Rose Depp are the couple that seems to make the most sense. Who else would they be with? Lily-Rose’s father is American and her mother is French. Timmy’s mother is American and his fa...

Andrew Garfield and Rita Ora are the most random couple to make it to 2019

This randomness was first reported at the end of November – that Andrew Garfield and Rita Ora were in the “early stages” of a relationship, conveniently reported by the UK Sun after Rita “let it slip” to her friends. Which is definitely a Rita Ora move but is not known to be an Andrew move. No up...

Jordan Peele's 'Us' trailer released and I'm into it

With Get Out, Jordan Peele revealed himself to be a filmmaker fully formed, with clear vision and scope, and really no improvement needed. So his sophomore effort, titled Us, is both highly anticipated and scrutinized, as we want the next dose of his particular brand of horror, but also to see if Ge...

A Cambridge & Sussex Christmas

As expected, Prince William, Kate, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle walked amiably together to church on Christmas morning in Sandringham along with other members of the royal family per royal tradition. It was a repeat of last year, with the Cambridges and the Sussexes taking up the same positions: ...

Celebrity Social Media for December 24, 2018

A little while back, I wondered what was next for the Biebers. First came love, then came marriage, and now here’s baby Oscar. As new puppy parents, are Justin and Hailey stressed? Sleep deprived? Who is doing the bulk of the potty training? Are they using a crate or starting with indoor paper? I wa...

Rihanna's new album and date with Hassan Jameel

It’s believed that Rihanna and her billionaire boyfriend, Hassan Jameel, started dating late in 2016, seen together that year on New Year’s Eve. It was only reported that they were together six months later, in summer 2017, when they were photographed kissing in a pool. So it’s been two years. And i...

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth appear to be married

Next summer will be the 10th anniversary of Miley Cyrus meeting Liam Hemsworth and falling in love on the set of The Last Song. They got engaged three years later in 2012. A year later, in 2013, they broke up after she twerked. Two years after that, in late 2015, they started spending time together ...

Cardi B & Offset are almost back together

Prem posted about Cardi B’s new video for “Money” in the previous post. Here’s what she says in “Money”:   I like boardin' jets, I like mornin' sex (Woo) But nothing in this world that I like more than checks (Money) All I really wanna see is the (Money) I don't really need the D, I need the (...

Unpacking Cardi B’s “Money” video

Written by PREM  If you ever doubted that Cardi B was a badass, her new video for the single “Money” will expel that doubt from your mind. It is visually stunning. I am obsessed with that custom made fuchsia ensemble and those black wide-brimmed hats. Christmas dinner outfit anyone? The shots are...

Dear Gossips, Saw Aquaman yesterday and it is indeed as delightfully stupid as Sarah says it is in her review which, reading it back now, is even funnier. Here is a batsh-t movie that is telling you to get over it and just have a good time. I did – and you know what I’m now obsessed with? The Aqu...

Duana was freaking out about this yesterday. She’ll say that was an exaggeration. But she has described Lin-Manuel Miranda as “Santa Claus” before – like that person she believes exists but will never truly see in person. She’ll never see her Santa on the subway. To the dude next to me on the...

Outfit of the Week: Michelle Obama

THESE BOOTS. Balenciaga. And they were trending on Twitter yesterday and almost sold out now. What other outfit could be the Outfit of the Week?  Duana and I dedicated over an hour to Michelle Obama’s Becoming on this week’s episode of Show Your Work. Mrs Obama’s wardrobe was and is a part of ...

Beyoncé posts new photos from India and attends Travis Scott’s show with Jay-Z

The Queen is generous. This is the season of giving. She knows how thirsty we are for new – anything new: new songs, new photos, new outfits. Whatever it is that she wants to share, we are here to receive it.  Yesterday Beyoncé posted to her website lots and lots of new pictures of her in India, ...

Netlix announces sequel to 'To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before'

Netflix announced last week that To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before was one of its three most re-watched original movies of 2018. The other two are Roxanne, Roxanne (about Roxanne Shanté, which is in my queue for the holidays) and The Kissing Booth (which is trash but who am I to judge, I sat through...

Kristen Stewart holds hands with stylist Sara Dinkin and might be single

It’s been a couple of months since Kristen Stewart’s been seen with Stella Maxwell. Kristen was shooting the Charlie’s Angels movie this fall in Europe. Stella visited her in Amsterdam in October.

How many cutting boards do you have? I have 3, but I feel like I need more. Kate Hudson doesn’t have that problem.

MiB: International released and it appears to be for kids

Does anyone have more visible fun on camera than Tessa Thompson? She has that strut, and that smirk, and that presence, and when the movie is fun, she makes it FUN. The latest film to have Tessa Thompson swaggering all over the place is Men in Black: International, the sequel/spin-off to the Will Sm...

What's behind the negative coverage of Meghan Markle?

This is typically a slow week in gossip. Many celebrities are already on holiday. There are a few who are making a final push for their Christmas releases but for the most part, things are shutting down and the idea is to coast towards the new year and come back hard in January. Same goes, sort of, ...

John Wick 3: Parabellum first images released by EW

And Halle Berry. New images from John Wick: Chapter 3 are out—oh, is that trailer coming soon, then?—and they show two sides of John Wick: Rainy John Wick and Dry John Wick. He’s looking a little worse for wear, sporting long hair and a struggle beard, and yet his suit is still pressed. I really adm...

Is Macaulay Culkin's 'Home Alone' Google ad leading up to something?

The last time we heard from Macaulay Culkin was nearly eight months ago, doing the talk show rounds to promote his comedy site and podcast, Bunny Ears (the site is ongoing and mostly funny, the first iteration of the podcast has ended). More recently, Culkin has been appearing on YouTube shows like ...

Dear Gossips, Last week The New York Times reported that, earlier this year, CBS paid Eliza Dushku $9.5 million to settle harassment claims on the set of Bull.

Brad Pitt wants everyone to know that for his birthday yesterday, his kids came to his place for a sleepover. Where I’m from, you don’t call it a sleepover when it’s home.

Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas keep getting married

Priyanka Chopra married Nick Jonas on December 1 in a Christian ceremony. They married again the next day in a Hindu ceremony. On December 4 there was another reception in New Delhi.

Celebrity Social Media round-up for December 19, 2018

Did you wonder what happened to the Divergent series? No, of course not, but this story by Kate Arthur in Buzzfeed, “How “Divergent” Turned into a Disaster”, is an interesting look at what happens when a sure thing amounts to a nothingburger. How "Divergent" Turned Into A Disaster Ian ...

'Where’d You Go, Bernadette' trailer might be a mess

The first trailer for Where’d You Go, Bernadette, adapted from a novel by Maria Semple, was released yesterday, and it looks like a standard “quirky family dramedy”. It stars Cate Blanchett as Wacky Mom, Billy Crudup as her seemingly perfect but, I’m guessing, having-an-affair husband, Emma Nelson a...

Guy Ritchie directed 'Aladdin' first look photos released

Entertainment Weekly has a first look at the live-action Aladdin coming from Guy Ritchie in 2019 and it looks fine. It looks like a big budget movie with elaborate sets and costumes, and human people who will talk and sing. As this is a Guy Ritchie movie, I expect the “Street Rat” sequence, featured...

Show Your Work: the work of Michelle Obama

Michelle Obama’s book, Becoming, is the bestselling hardcover of 2018 – and it was only released a month ago. Probably many of you have asked for it for Christmas and you’ll be reading it over the holidays. Perfect. Read it and then listen to this episode because while it’s been called a memoir, we ...

Royals gather for the Queen's Christmas lunch as feud rumours stir

The Queen hosted her annual Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace today. This is when the extended family is invited before the closer, senior royals head to Sandringham. As expected, Prince William and Catherine were there, along with Big G, in the backseat, and Charlotte. Big G looks like he’s at t...

Katie Holmes celebrates 40 with Jamie Foxx while still being photographed separately

Katie Holmes turned 40 yesterday and celebrated over dinner at Serendipity in New York with Jamie Foxx and her mother, Kathleen.

Dear Gossips, There’s a lot to unpack in Emily Blunt and John Krasinski’s joint interview with The Hollywood Reporter, beyond the fact that they are irresistibly ADORABLE together.

Tom Cruise and Miles Teller in Lake Tahoe working on Top Gun: Maverick

Remember all the drama over Henry Cavill’s moustache in Mission: Impossible – Fallout?

Sarah’s theory, hilariously, about the moustache and why it even needed to happen at all in Miss...

Hailee Steinfeld's Bumblebee getting great reviews

Back in June, when the first trailer for Bumblebee was released, Sarah wrote that she didn’t hate it. In fact, she was charmed and surprised by its sweetness because the story is about Hailee Steinfeld and her new friend, Bumblebee, the alien. Not unlike Elliott and E.T. So, like, perfect for this t...

Idris Elba's very simple answer to stupid question about #MeToo movement

Back in July, when he was promoting Mission: Impossible – Fallout, Henry Cavill told GQ Australia that he was worried about the #MeToo movement making it harder for him to flirt and that he had concerns about flirting and then being called a rapist. Seriously. As I said at the time, no, dumdum, nobo...

Netflix, in a race to ...

Miley Cyrus's great performance on Saturday Night Live

Miley Cyrus may not be your favourite. She’s done a lot of sh-t worth side-eying that Kathleen’s recapped over the last couple of years.

Best of 2018: Peter Noah Kavinsky Centineo

Lainey asked me whether or not Noah Centineo belongs in the Best or Worst category of 2018 and without hesitation I said “BEST.” Peter Kavinsky was 100% one of the highlights of 2018.

Hannah Gadsby is one of the Best of 2018

Hannah Gadsby burst onto the international stage this year with her blistering not-comedy special Nanette. It feels like Nanette came out nine years ago because we live in a nightmare time warp where everything is happening all of the time, but it’s just been six months since Gadsby gave us a new le...

Top 10 Movies of 2018

Janet Jackson will finally be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2019

It was announced yesterday that Janet Jackson will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2019. Finally. And this is good news, of course.

Jason Momoa in Aquaman movie review

Aquaman is so incredibly dumb I don’t know how to review it other than to just tell you what it is and emphasize how extremely likeable it is in the face of its own sheer stupidity.

Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie in Mary Queen of Scots movie review

Mary Queen of Scots is a slightly anachronistic and completely ahistorical telling of the feud between Mary, Queen of Scots—the lack of proper punctuation in the title drives me nuts—and Queen Elizabeth I.

Emily Blunt receives SAG nominations for Mary Poppins and The Quiet Place

There were some significant snubs today when the SAG nominations were announced. We’ll discuss them here and there in other posts later and what that means for Oscar. It’s a competitive year.

Ashanti doesn’t break the Internet in Paper Magazine cover feature

Yesterday, I name-checked some male R&B stars of the early 2000s. The female stars I mentioned are ruling today’s charts (I will never forgive myself for forgetting SOLANGE, who am I?).

Bradley Cooper's clean shave in Tokyo as he promotes A Star Is Born

I’m still laughing about Jezebel’s Thirsty 30 from the other day. Bradley Cooper was ranked #22 and while that’s not super high on the list, the fact that he’s been included is what’s funny because, of course, as we’ve seen, Bradley’s fronting like he’s not thirsty AF for that Oscar, keeping a low p...

Jennifer Lopez promotes Second Act in multiple outfits in New York

Jennifer Lopez is in the middle of the Second Act press tour.

JLo on a press tour also always delivers. She’s a gr...

At post time, the Academy has still not yet announced a replacement for Kevin Hart as the host of the Oscars. There are rumours that they may decide to go with no host for the Oscars.

Idris Elba and Ruth Wilson promote Luther in London

Raise your hand if you knew Idris Elba as DCI Luther before you knew him as Stringer Bell. I can’t be the only one. Elba was Stringer Bell first, but Luther was his breakout role, the thing that made him everyone’s favorite leading man and the once and future Bond. On January 1 he’s back with a fift...

Willowdean (Danielle Macdonald) is a Dolly Parton-loving girl who struggles with body image, an emotionally remote mother, and the recent death of the aunt who raised her.

Dear Gossips,  Sandra Bullock was in Sao Paolo this week promoting her new movie Bird Box which premieres on Netflix on December 21.

David and Victoria Beckham are fine at the British Fashion Awards

I’m not saying that like it’s a complaint. More like… sarcasm. Because it’s almost the end of the year and many of you spent several months this year worrying that Victoria and David Beckham wouldn’t make it to the end of the year. And they have. I’m not sure there was any question about that, as ha...

Taylor Swift supported Joe Alwyn at Mary, Queen of Scots premiere but no photos were taken

Check out Joe Alwyn last night at the premiere of Mary Queen of Scots. Interesting pant length happening here. Why not show off those boots, right? I don’t hate it. But it’s definitely shorter than the usual, especially with the slight flare at the hem. Kinda like the mom jeans I’m obsessed with rig...

Gemma Chan & Dominic Cooper at the British Fashion Awards

Mary, Queen of Scots is getting mixed reviews. Here’s why I’m seeing it: for the performances from the entire cast, led by Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie, but also because the case includes Gemma Chan.

Millie Bobby Brown is apparently friends with Godzilla in new trailer for King of the Monsters

The second trailer for Godzilla: King of the Monsters is here to rattle our skulls with Godzilla’s roar—I really love the new roar sound effect created for these new movies—and also strain our eyeballs with darkness.

Singer Jacquees declares himself the King of R&B

That was the question dominating Twitter yesterday. It started with Jacquees – a singer I barely knew existed – declaring himself as the “King of R&B.” The declaration sparked a debate that went from heated to hilarious and back around again. This debate has all the grown-ass men who have ever had a...

Ryan Gosling's First Man receives ten Critics Choice nominations

From its first trailer, First Man looked like a surefire Oscar front runner. Damien Chazelle, Ryan Gosling, period piece, Great Man biopic—it appeals to several Oscar fetishes. But the box office for First Man has been lackluster, stalling out just below its break-even point. And with that lack of b...

Meghan Markle's extreme belly-cupping at the British Fashion Awards

I mean, I thought the belly-cupping during the royal tour in Australia, Fiji, Tonga, and New Zealand was extra. Turns out, for Meghan Markle, that was simply entry-level belly-cupping. Last night at the British Fashion Awards, Royal Meghan took it beyond extra to extreme. If you’ve been following th...

Avengers: Endgame trailer released

The trailer for Avengers 4, officially titled Avengers: Endgame has finally arrived and we have some things to discuss. First, that title.

Jason Momoa's SNL promo thirst traps

Kevin Hart to host 2019 Oscars

Yesterday morning The Hollywood Reporter called hosting the Oscars the “least wanted job in Hollywood”. Less than three months from the 2019 telecast, the Oscars had no host, and, apparently, no hope of a host.

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...

November 29, 2018 – Smutty Shout-Outs

Simon! Happy Birthday from Devin who calls you the “most wonderful, caring, kind person” but that you’ve “never lost [your] bitchy edge”, and she appreciates that in a front. As do I. She’s lucky to have you. As requested, here are photos of Beyoncé and this shot from your birthday party. That is, i...

Intro for November 29, 2018

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...

What Else for November 28, 2018

Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx might be getting married. I know. You’re skeptical. You should be. Because much of what’s reported about Katie and Jamie is bullsh-t, including the “breaking news” about them breaking up earlier this year – which never happened. 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. For the last few years, every time a movie star can’t open a movie, we start talking all over again about the death of the movie star. And here comes MBJ...

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...

Debi! Happy Birthday with love from Stephanie whose birthday wish for you came true with Harry and Meghan – so believe her when she says that even though it’s been a rough year, “the best is yet to come”. By request, here are Richard Madden and a short-haired Dave Grohl.   

Intro for November 28, 2018

Dear Gossips,  The National Board of Review announced its award winners yesterday. NBR isn’t always that great of an Oscar predictor; last year their Best Film was The Post, Best Actor and Best Actress were Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep, Willem Dafoe and Laurie Metcalf won for supporting …AND they l...

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. She’s using words like “liar”. She’s calling out celebrities for being “gross”. And even when one of those celebrities, ...

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. The Telegraph says it’s the “biggest box office bomb since Guy Ritchie’s King Arthur”. According to Business Insider, it’s the “biggest box office bomb of the year”. Is that fair...

Apparently, Adam Levine is having some reservations about performing in the Super Bowl halftime show.

Angelina Jolie attends the Fighting Stigma Through Film festival in London

Angelina Jolie was in London this past weekend at the Fighting Stigma Through Film festival in support of the Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative.

Ethan Hawke’s hustle is showing at the Gotham Awards

Ethan Hawke got the wildest applause of the night at the Gotham Awards last night after his Best Actor win for his work in First Reformed. It’s his first win for that performance, and with the National Board of Review and New York Film Critics Circle both announcing their picks this week, it could b...

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. Amanda’s public battle with addiction which unraveled in real time on Twitter would - I hope - be rece...

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...

Intro for November 27, 2018

Dear Gossips,  Back in September, Jon Caramanica declared in The New York Times that the celebrity profile is dead. Beyoncé had just interviewed herself for Vogue.

Kim Kardashian says her biggest mistakes happened when she was on ecstasy, including the sex tape. Right. But does ecstasy have anything to do with why and how that sex tape was “released”? It’s one thing to make a sex tape, thousands of which, I’m sure, are being made right now. It’s another entire...

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. That’s a record. And it’s Michael B Jordan’s second record-breaking movie this year. I know I don’t have to tell ...

Shawn Mendes covers Rolling Stone in his most revealing feature to date

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.

Dakota Johnson spent Thanksgiving with Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow

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. He was performing that day at the Global Citizen Festival. Convenient, coincidence, or conspiracy?  Apparently there’s no drama. Becau...

Kit Harington distracts from Russian model cheating scandal with new haircut

Last week, a Russian model claimed on social media that she had an affair with Kit Harington while he was engaged to Rose Leslie. She said they were introduced by one of his reps at an event and she even posted photos of a naked man passed out in bed who very closely resembled the King of the North....

Intro for November 26, 2018

Dear Gossips,  Alessia Cara was the halftime show headliner last night at the Grey Cup in Edmonton. She sounded AMAZING. There was pyro. There were flames.

Michael B Jordan in Creed II movie review

It’s going to be impossible for me to put aside my bias to write this review. My dog’s name is Apollo Creed. My big brother and I would watch Rocky marathons all day until our parents forced us to go do our homework or something more productive than yelling “Adrian!” at each other for hours and pret...

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.

Leonardo DiCaprio spends Thanksgiving with Scott Storch

I f-cking love that story so much. If you missed it, I posted about it yesterday – Leonardo DiCaprio snubbing Chris Hemsworth twice, and my theory that, well, Prom Queen Leo didn’t want to be around anyone sexier than he is and used to be. Leo’s basically the Evil Queen in Snow White, minus the murd...

Beyoncé credited as Beyoncé Knowles-Carter in The Lion King teaser

As Sarah wrote in the previous post about the new The Lion King teaser, Beyoncé is credited as:  It kinda became a thing on Twitter. Sarah said she has Questions about the double-barrel name. Since B doesn’t answer questions anymore, we have to speculate.  As Sarah posited, this may be how...

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...

Leonardo DiCaprio snubbed Chris Hemsworth in Japan during Thor 2 press tour

Amy in Australia sent this story over to me last night and it’s my FAVOURITE. It’s a story that ostensibly starts out by making Chris Hemsworth look bad.

Backlash against Viggo Mortensen's Green Book begins as critics call it another white savior film

Viggo Mortensen was considered a strong contender for a Best Actor Oscar nomination for his performance in Green Book. Last week, however, at a Q&A following a screening, Viggo said the n-word. He apologised afterwards. Now Variety is asking if it will “doom his Oscar chances”. But Green Book might ...

Yesterday I mentioned that Drew Barrymore is crowdsourcing restaurant suggestions for her newspaper. Now she’s doing it with hotels. Would you pick up Flower Newspaper and read about a hotel that Drew chose from a comment on social media and feel confident about booking there? And has no one on the ...

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...

Intro for November 16, 2018

Dear Gossips,  Many eastern cities in Canada and the US are dealing with the first snowstorm of the season. I was watching local New York City news last night and this was the big story – the collisions, the transit delays, it was a terrible afternoon commute. Most people were really inconvenienc...

What Else for November 15, 2018

Tom Cruise continues to be Ethan Hunt. And after 30 years, he’s playing Pete “Maverick” Mitchell again. But he will no longer be known as Jack Reacher. I don’t know about these books, haven’t ever read one. But I’ve heard from many of you who have and most of you had issues from the very beginning a...

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.

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"

This is the question Justin Bieber is supposedly asking Justin Bieber. A source tells PEOPLE that: “He’s happy and content. He is in love with Hailey. She encourages him to do whatever he wants to do, and is encouraging him in this season of self-discovery.”  The “season of self-discovery" par...

Chris Noth is one of those people that looks like they were born in their adult form, you know what I mean? Can you imagine toddler Chris Noth? Not really. He looks the same as he did on Law & Order decades ago.          View this post on Instagram     ...

The Favourite begins campaigning for Oscar with The Hollywood Reporter cover

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. Leading the way on that is a cover feature in The Hollywood Reporter with its trio of stars, Olivia Colman, Rachel Weisz, and Emma Stone, and al...

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. He was genuinely surprised and so was everyone around him, including his “baby girl” Nicole Kidman.  Keith and Nicole love love. They love showing off how much they love their ...

Michael B Jordan premieres Creed II in New York

Michael B Jordan is in Toronto today promoting Creed II. He is not coming on our show and I have to be at work instead of casually showing up where he’ll be and initiating my 9-step “Casual Run-in With MBJ, Make Him Fall in Love with Me” plan so I don’t want to talk about Michael Bae Jordan being in...

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. It was a private event so the only photos available of the royals you care about were the ones of them arriving. We’ll get to the young royals later. Here’s a shot of Charles and Camilla at Clarence...

Intro for November 15, 2018

Dear Gossips,  Mariah Carey’s new album, Caution, comes out tomorrow. Mimi’s previous album, Glitter, is currently #2 on iTunes. It’s a surprise. It happened because of the Lambily and the movement they call #JusticeForGlitter. Glitter, as you know, was a punchline when it came out but, like othe...

What Else for November 14, 2018

Apparently this exercise is good for your ass muscles. OK. I have some questions. Is it better or worse for your ass muscles than squats? I thought squats were the end-all-and-be-all of ass exercises. Was that a lie? Or is it that squats are preferable to these, um, weighted thrusts (weight-f-king?...

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. Sometimes, I yell YES, PLEASE at Netflix specifically, like when they’re giving me a new musical to obsess over or crappy Christmas r...

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. Jill Scott was trending yesterday. She’s fine. Jill Scott is better than fine.  Jill Scott was trending because of t...

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...

The voice of a generation? Eddie Redmayne backtracked on that real quick. The question wasn’t directed towards him so he shouldn’t have jumped in anyways.  "Who is Lily Allen?" https://t.co/uZh9cgM7kr #WWHL — WWHL (@BravoWWHL) November 14, 2018 Speaking of the Allens, Alfie and his gi...

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 Céline 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. But “red carpet debut” is not that relatable. How many of us get to walk red carpets on our own, let alone have occasion to walk one ...

Intro for November 14, 2018

Dear Gossips,  HBO released a trailer for the upcoming final season of Game of Thrones yesterday with no new footage, confirming only that the last six episodes will air in April 2019, which we already knew, because with the exception of Season 7, the show is almost always on in April. An April p...

What Else for November 13, 2018

Kathleen wrote earlier today about Michael B Jordan focusing more on his empire and not so much on love which is basically code for “I’m not looking for anything serious right now” or Kathleen code for “I’m waiting for Kathleen to come into my life”. Nicki Minaj publicly declared the other night tha...

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...
