What Else for May 31, 2019

Once upon a time there was a prince. The prince was de-princed a few years ago and now it’s been revealed that he’s the father of a secret love child with a woman he denied having a relationship. The ex-prince’s relationship to his daughter was confirmed via forced paternity. Can’t wait to see how t...

Duana Names: Is It Evil? And…Is that Bad?

Hi Duana! We’re expecting our third kid in June. We already have a boy and girl and I swear we have already vetoed every dang name there is! We don’t want something super popular because my husband has a very common 80’s boy name and hated using his last name to differentiate from all the other b...

Catherine O’Hara: Socks of the Week

This is, technically, an Outfit of the Week post. But the socks are the MVPs of both outfits.  Check out Catherine O’Hara at the FYC Schitt’s Creek event last night in LA. It’s a simple well-cut dress, looks great on her. She’s kicking up the look though with those striped socks. I LOVE this. She...

Rambo: Last Blood starring Sylvester Stallone teaser trailer released

When the Death Wish remake starring Bruce Willis came out last year, I said there was “no good time for a movie like Death Wish”, a movie about a white man using vigilante violence against minority communities. You know what is a movie like Death Wish? Rambo. Specifically, Rambos 2-4. First Blood, t...

Winner of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 11 revealed

DRAG RACE SPOIILERS AHEAD I wish I could say that it was a double win for Toronto last night, but a) I don’t know anything about sports and b) Yvie Oddly was crowned America’s Next Drag Superstar instead of Brooke Lynn Hytes on the Season 11 Finale of RuPaul’s Drag Race yesterday. Two weeks ago, ...

Sasha Finds: Scrunchie headbands

I get why people got all nostalgic when the scrunchy trend came back, but like, really? I don’t know, it just felt really lazy. I feel like if you’re gonna bring something back from another decade it should be a bit more elevated and modern. Now wait, before you get all “f-ck off, Sasha” can I give ...

Celebrity Social Media, May 31, 2019

Every summer has a standout trend, like the off-the-shoulder shirts from a few years ago and structural bamboo bags. Michelle Williams is wearing the skirt of the summer – leopard print, midi length (The Cut has a list of options here).          View this post on I...

Tiffany Haddish, Melissa McCarthy, and Elisabeth Moss's The Kitchen looks great

A year ago, we learned that Tiffany Haddish, Melissa McCarthy, and Elisabeth Moss were co-starring in a movie, The Kitchen, about mob wives who take over when their husbands go to jail. I’ve been super into this movie ever since, and the first trailer has done nothing to dissuade me. The Kitchen loo...

Robert Pattinson is a lock to play Batman after all

Update: Batman waffling is over, Robert Pattinson got the job. Yesterday we heard that Robert Pattinson, despite earlier reports, had not actually locked down the role of Batman in Matt Reeves’ upcoming Bat-movie, and that he would be screen testing against Nicholas Hoult for the role. Now, though, ...

Taylor Swift and Katy Perry seem to confirm their feud is really over

I don’t think anyone needs me to recap why Taylor Swift and Katy Perry stopped being friends. But I’ll give you two words: “Bad Blood”.  “Bad Blood” is old though, because last year, just as Taylor was kicking off the reputation tour, Katy sent her an olive branch and Taylor put it on Instagram s...

Mindy Kaling is living what she dreamed and worked towards with Late Night

In 2011, Mindy Kaling wrote an essay that was published in The New Yorker that, all these years later, has kind of defined her work and career. I remember at the time, we all sent it around to each other – read this! so true! love it! she nails it! She really did nail it, but what it really was, for...

Robert Pattinson and Nicholas Hoult reportedly have to screen-test for Batman role

A couple weeks ago we learned that Robert Pattinson is up to be the new Batman, taking over the role from Ben Affleck. Lainey dubbed him the “Millennial Batman”, I think we should call him “RBatz” if he gets the gig. And it is an IF, as a report yesterday states that Pattinson will be screen-testing...

Zoe Kravitz conceals ring finger at Big Little Lies season 2 premiere

Originally this post was going to be about Zoe Kravitz’s left hand at the Big Little Lies 2 premiere Wednesday night in New York. That dress is amazing on her, because of the big bow/ruffle jutting out the side. And she posed with her hand behind it. And since news broke last week that she and Karl ...

Intro for May 31, 2019

Dear Gossips,  Before Game 1 of the NBA Finals series last night between the Toronto Raptors and the Golden State Warriors, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver confirmed that the league had reached out to Drake about his courtside behaviour. Drake did not give any shoulder rubs last night. But, Drake be...

What Else for May 30, 2019

Meghan Markle is supposedly taking Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor to New York this summer. I don’t know if this is true, but I hope so. Because after her baby shower bonanza in New York earlier this year, there were all kinds of reports about how fussed the royal courtiers were over the trip. A...

Julia Roberts looks unreal in Verona while shooting ad campaign

How could I resist? Julia and Juliet are close enough and here’s Julia Roberts, looking UNREAL, in Verona today shooting an ad campaign.  Her hair is slighhhhhtly shorter, right? It’s a good length for her. I like how the layers are framing her face. Then again, I just generally love her face. Sh...

Celebrity Social Media, May 30, 2019

Can you tell when an artist is going to be a one-hit wonder? I definitely can’t (I thought “I Kissed A Girl” would be it for Katy Perry, ha!). But artists who get a monster hit have options they might not have had 20 or 30 years ago, like social media ads, club appearances, and private events to kee...

Prince Harry: garden parties, cricket, and notes on the Sussex Instagram account

Prince Harry attended two events yesterday – first he joined Queen Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace to meet with the ICC Cricket World Cup team and then they went outside for the Garden Party. Harry and Meghan Markle attended the Garden Party last year shortly after their wedding. Meghan, of course, i...

Welcome back to What’s Your Drama. As you know, it’s the season finale and we can’t thank you enough for all the love, support and trust that you’ve given us this season. And what better way to end the season than bringing Duana on the show. In truth, she forced her way on, but the woman can give go...

Jukebox movies come to take over Hollywood with Boy George film in the works

A while back, jukebox musicals were all the Broadway rage, thanks to shows like Mamma Mia! and Rock of Ages. Now, the jukebox movie has come to take over Hollywood. It was inevitable, really, in the age of Big IP, that as soon as one person made money off framing a popular band’s catalog in a movie,...

Intro for May 30, 2019

Dear Gossips,  A lot of people LOVE Booksmart. But a lot of the headlines about Booksmart this week are about its box office, including this one at The Hollywood Reporter about how Booksmart “gambles with wide release and stumbles”.  Booksmart came out of SXSW with a lot of buzz. It currently ...

What Else for May 29, 2019

Ten years ago, I probably would have cared a lot more about Rooney Mara and Joaquin Phoenix getting engaged. This, however, is a couple that really, really does not want to be cared about. Maybe that’s why we’re talking about it? Because doing the big diamond ring thing just never seemed to be their...

Duana Names: Secrets Of His Success

Hi Duana,   My friend Hafida is having a baby boy at the end of May, and is a bit stuck for names. The baby's big sister is Sophia. His father is Samir, and the family's background is Moroccan origin, but they live in the Netherlands. My friend likes the idea of alliterative names for her children...

Octavia Spencer in Ma movie review

When discussing the trailer for Ma, the horror movie starring Octavia Spencer, I said, “Even if this turns out more camp than high art—a real possibility with a Blumhouse production—I’m cool with it.” Well, guess what. Ma is not camp. It’s certainly not high art. It turns out, Ma is straight, B-movi...

Kit Harington is in rehab

In January 2018, there was an incident involving Kit Harington at a bar in New York. He was getting aggro over a game of pool and was eventually thrown out. Kit eventually came back to pay the tab and leave a generous tip. No drama after that and then in June, he and Rose Leslie got married in Scotl...

Everybody loves Ali Wong in profile for Vanity Fair

There’s a headline that’s been going around today about Ali Wong and how she joked on Ellen DeGeneres’s show about writing a movie specifically so she could experience the joy of kissing Daniel Dae Kim and Keanu Reeves. Keanu is the biggest star in Always Be My Maybe, one of the biggest stars, perio...

Show Your Work: Seth Rogen, the Sleeper Hit

Seth Rogen looks great in the new issue of GQ. LOVE the styling here. And he’s been showing us his new steeze for a few months now – I wrote about it when he and Charlize Theron were at CinemaCon  a couple of months. Duana, ever the know-it-all (ha!), was like, yeah, I knew, I told you so, as we beg...

Kristen Stewart's eyebrows, exes, and manicures

Kristen Stewart was in Seoul yesterday for the Chanel Metiers d’Art show. I love everything about this look. I love the length of her hair right now. I love the bright green eyeliner.

Future criticized for gifting his 5 year old son with Rolex

What Else for May 28, 2019

Good news everybody! Were you worried that gender reveal parties would stop happening and you might never get invited to one? This should not be a concern. Johnny Galecki just had one and it got messy so if you’ve never been, there’s still hope. In fact, I think at this point, they’re like wedding a...

Miley Cyrus raps about Nicki Minaj in new single, "Cattitude"

Nicki Minaj is in the news. Usually this makes me happy but Miley Cyrus has decided to speak on her to roll out three singles. On one called "Cattitude," Miley raps “I love you Nicki, but I listen to Cardi.” As fans, we can joke about the Nicki hate-train which she has, in the past, benefited fro...

Celebrity Social Media, May 28, 2019

Like statues, wax figures can go awry. People are hating on Ariana Grande’s figure at Madame Tussaud’s and I guess it’s weird looking, but it’s made of wax, so that’s kind of a given. Why are people’s expectations for these figures so high?         View this post o...

Zoe Kravitz and Karl Glusman join the celebrity low-key wedding trend

It’s a bit of a misnomer, the “low-key wedding” descriptor. There is, I think, a trend though. But first, Zoe Kravitz was seen with her ma Lisa Bonet in New York on Sunday. The Big Little Lies Season 2 premiere is happening there on Wednesday. She will for sure be there, along with Nicole Kidman, Re...

Rob Lowe hair-shames Prince William

Rob Lowe is giving interviews to UK outlets to promote his ITV show Wild Bill. During an interview with The Telegraph he was asked, now that he’s spent some time in England, whether or not he’s more vain than British men. His response: “That’s a low bar”. Rob’s lived in Hollywood for decades. The va...

Brad Pitt could emerge as favourite for Oscar for Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood

Brad Pitt was seen in Venice today. He was apparently there for the Biennale with his friend Thomas Houseago, the artist. Yesterday, by the way, was Shiloh Jolie-Pitt’s 13th birthday.

There are SO MANY THINGS I love about this video. Let’s start with the expression on the woman’s face, the one who’s filming it. She is not here for this f-cksh-t.

Duana Names: Astounded/Euphoric/Blunt/True

Dear Duana - LONG time reader, first time writer. Potential meltdown haver. Love your taste, and your advice would be a HUGE help. I live in the middle of conservative America, but I am part of a liberal-yuppie-hint-of-hipster-crew. I hate that I just wrote that, but I’m self aware. I’m one of...

Why you should be watching Good Girls starring Retta, Mae Whitman, and Christina Hendricks

SPOILERS Watching the season finale of NBC’s breakout dark comedy Good Girls was certainly an experience. The show has been so good, I was expecting to just love it and wait for season 3. But as the writers told us before the season began, season 2 was deeper, darker, and more fascinating than se...

Taylor Swift holds hands with Joe Alwyn in Paris as she promotes "ME!"

Taylor Swift is promoting “ME!” in Europe. She performed on The Graham Norton Show and The Voice France a few days ago. How is “ME!” doing in your world? It plays on the radio a lot where I am but I’m not sure it’s making a cultural impact, like a song that takes over the zeitgeist, in the way that ...

Looking back on a year in the life of Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin

I have a thing where I’m always looking back on dates and milestones. Apparently this is a theme for today’s column, with Drake commemorating the one year anniversary of his beef with Pusha T by celebrating the Raptors’ historic win, and the Beckhams coming up on a year of divorce rumours and now Ju...

David and Victoria Beckham are together and fine at Old Trafford

A little over a year ago, at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding, Victoria Beckham had a face on, leading to speculation that she was pissed at David for whatever reason. For the record, they were both seen smiling at the event several times, it’s just that people chose to ignore those moments....

Aladdin movie review starring Mena Massoud

Aladdin had a shame-faced ad campaign that made it seem like Disney was embarrassed of the movie, and the most interesting thing about Aladdin was #HotJafar. So I am quite shocked to report that Aladdin is not terrible. And it won the box office this weekend with a $105 million domestic take. It’s n...

Outfit of the Week: Elle Fanning at Cannes again

This is not a rerun. Elle Fanning wore the Outfit of the Week last week and since she’s in Cannes as a juror, as Sarah predicted, she’s been serving look after look and, most importantly, her looks have not all been same same, glitter, glamour, feathers, train. There’s been a lot of fun and imaginat...

Linda Hamilton is the best part of Terminator: Dark Fate teaser trailer

Terminator is an unkillable franchise. No matter how bad the movies get—and they have gotten VERY bad—every few years a new one is announced. And not reboots! They keep trying to build off the same lore and continue the original story, but much like Star Wars, it turns out Terminator is pretty simpl...

North American Love Island spin-off premiering in July

I’ve had an alert about this on my phone for months. Season 5 of Love Island UK will premiere on June 3rd, but now it’s been confirmed that its North American spin-off will premiere on July 9th on CBS in the US and CTV in Canada. This is a big deal for several reasons that we’ll get into, but first ...

Brad Pitt looks hot again in Cannes

As established yesterday in my post about Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt looked hot in Cannes, the hottest he’s looked in a while, the hottest he’s looked since he and Angelina Jolie broke up. Let’s track this development, briefly.  Here’s Brad June 2017 at the premiere of Okja: ...

Chrissy Teigen to play small-claims judge on new reality show, Chrissy's Court

Do you watch Judge Judy? If you say no, Lainey and I would say you are missing out. Judge Judy is a no-nonsense woman who gets paid (a lot) to yell “baloney!” and ask people if they think she’s stupid.  I like Judge Judy for the same reason I like advice podcasts and columns (like Lainey and Sash...

It was reported recently that Princess Kate’s nickname for Charlotte is “Lottie”. My first reaction to that was… really? Like the Slick Rick and Doug E Fresh song?

Is Booksmart the sleeper comedy hit of 2019?

Booksmart, a film about type-A++ overachiever BFFs seeking an all-out, wild last hurrah to cram in all of the raucous partying they missed out on during four years of heavy duty high school studying and debate practice, still has a 99% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, after 98 counted reviews. And after i...

Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio side by side in Cannes as they promote Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood

Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Quentin Tarantino cover the new Esquire promoting Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood.

Why we love Game of Thrones and the Avengers

Over the last decade, twin forces emerged to fuel the pop culture realm of film and television: the Avengers and Game of Thrones. This is the decade that saw the rise of binge watching, a new Batman AND a new Superman, and the return of motherf-cking Star Wars, and yet the biggest things to happen i...

Marion Cotillard steals the show in Cannes wearing midriff-baring Balmain

Leonardo DiCaprio, Margot Robbie, and Brad Pitt may have brought the throwback glamour to Cannes, but it’s Marion Cotillard who completely stole the show and the festival in my eyes.

Ali Wong, Randall Park, and Keanu Reeves in first trailer for Always Be My Maybe

Keanu Reeves is currently king of the box office as John Wick 3 took down Avengers: Endgame last weekend with a $57 million opening take supported by strong reviews – Sarah loved it and called it the best of the franchise so far. Which is an achievement. How often is the third film in a series the b...

Justin Bieber launching deodorant line with Schmidt’s Deodorant

I’ve been writing about the intersection of celebrity and lifestyle for a few years, back when Goop and The Honest Company were the two big players, and celebrity clothing lines (like House of Dereon and Sweetface) were literally out of style. The late 2000s is when branching out to other kinds of p...

Vanity Fair gives exclusive first look at Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker with two covers

In what is now a biennial tradition, Vanity Fair has a bunch of beautiful new Star Wars portraits and photos from Annie Leibovitz covering their new issue—let’s be honest, this is a very fancy, very splashy ad. This year there are two covers: Rey and Kylo Ren. They look serious and determined. Kylo ...

Dear Gossips,  Cannes 2019 isn’t over yet but the festival’s biggest story is and will likely continue to be Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time …in Hollywood.

Omari Hardwick talks about Beyoncé while promoting Starz show, Power

When Omari Hardwick kissed Beyoncé twice on the cheek at this year’s NAACP Image Awards, the Beyhive lost its goddamn mind.

Finally, she announced a release date...

HBO's best show, Barry, concluded second season this week

  Game of Thrones concluded this week, and we will discuss its finale for a long, long time.

The best HBO finale this week belongs to Barry, Bill Hader’s show about a hitman who...

Taron Egerton receives early praise for Rocketman after Cannes and London premieres

Taron Egerton brought his mom and his very much on-again girlfriend Emily Thomas to the London premiere of Rocketman last night, days after they proudly stood by his side at the film’s world premiere in Cannes. One thing I really like about Taron? In spite of all of his success, he still looks like ...

Leonardo DiCaprio plays part of "Instagram Boyfriend" with Camila Morrone in Cannes

Recent developments in drama between YouTube stars James Charles and Tati Westbrook

I thought I had the whole James Charles and Tati Westbrook situation figured out last Monday, but since then, some recent developments have changed the direction of the story.

House Cambridge in the garden

House Sussex: The First Year

Yesterday marked the one year anniversary of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding. As I predicted a couple of months ago, they released never-before-seen photos from the event. Actually, I was only half right. I predicted a never-before-seen photo. I did not predict a video of several never-befo...

Game of Thrones Winning Odds: Let’s talk about the winner

Game of Thrones Season 8, Episode 6 recap 1

GET OUT OF HERE! THERE ARE  MAJOR SPOILERS We’ll argue about this ending forever, but after the last three weeks, as Game of Thrones descended in a seeming death spiral, it’s a relief that the finale episode works as well as it does—and it DOES work. If you view “A Song of Ice and Fire” as ...

Intro for May 20, 2019

Blac Chyna is reclaiming her narrative in new interview with Wendy Williams

Blac Chyna sat down for her first talk show interview with Wendy Williams this week. It seems weird that it’s her first because we know so much about her but it’s usually news/gossip written about her and Chyna is reclaiming her narrative. This reminds me of when Amber Rose (Chyna’s bestie) built he...

Chris Rock is rebooting Saw horror franchise

This is the second weirdest headline of the week. It turns out that Chris Rock—yes, comedian and filmmaker Chris Rock—is a fan of the Saw horror franchise, you know, the torture porn movies with the serial killer who sets elaborate Rube Goldberg traps for his victims. Rock is such a big fan, in fact...

Outfit of the Week: Elle Fanning

As Sarah predicted in her Cannes preview earlier this week, one of the highlights of the festival would be Elle Fanning’s fashion. She was right – but not for her opening night dress which, you’d THINK, would have been the statement but I was kind of underwhelmed:  This is, in theory, a perfe...

Gerard Butler's Angel Has Fallen trailer is like budget John Wick

Keanu Reeves is hailed for launching an original action franchise, and rightly so, because in the age of Big IP, that is nearly impossible. But he is not the only actor to front an original action franchise—Gerard Butler has his own original action franchise in the “Fallen” series. You know the ones...

“Disgraced YouTuber” is the new “scammer” (if you want to catch up on the drama, Prem unpacked it for us here). Like all celebrity drama, there is a larger context to it.

Black Chyna is reclaiming her narrative in new interview with Wendy Williams

Blac Chyna sat down for her first talk show interview with Wendy Williams this week. It seems weird that it’s her first because we know so much about her but it’s usually news/gossip written about her and Chyna is reclaiming her narrative. This reminds me of when Amber Rose (Chyna’s bestie) built he...

Princess Meghan trolls the media and releases baby Archie's birth certificate

Meghan Markle is a troll…and I’m here for it. I f-cking love it. Let me be clear, because yes, I know, typically the word “troll” is used to describe MRA diaper babies and the like on Twitter but trolling is also an art form and celebrities, as Mashable said last year, “are some of the best trolls o...

Constance Wu is reportedly a "bigger diva than Jennifer Lopez" on Hustlers set

Exactly a week ago today, ahead of the upfronts, the networks released the list of shows that had been renewed and cancelled. As you know, Fresh Off The Boat was renewed, which resulted in a “f-cking hell” from Constance Wu on Twitter – and not in a good way. She was crying about losing out on anoth...

Gucci receives backlash for "Indy Full Turbans" for sale at Nordstrom

Let’s revisit the Gucci Ready-to-Wear collection from Fall 2018. Back in February of last year, Gucci presented their Fall 2018 collection from Alessandro Michele. The Fall 2018 collection was famous for some of its models who carried disembodied copies of their heads on the runway and were the insp...

Robert Pattinson will be our first millenial Batman

As Sarah just wrote in the previous post, Robert Pattinson as Batman was big breaking news last night on social media. It’s probably the first time he’s trended like this since Twilight – and this is something to be mindful of, because after the pop culture craze that was Twilight, RP deliberately a...

Robert Pattinson is our new Batman

We knew that Ben Affleck was done, and Batfleck was no more. Now, we know that the next actor in line for Batman is none other than Robert Pattinson. It was a real record-scratch moment when the news broke, but frankly, it’s no stranger than when Heath Ledger was announced as the new Joker. But hone...

May 17, 2019 – Smutty Shout-Outs

For Bella and Bianco, for the last 3 months – he was a king in white fur and kings don’t crumble, so you honoured him in the best way. I know you let him go with dignity and, now that I’m looking at his face, that boy was DIGNIFIED. Look at that pose! Of course he was there for you at your lowest, a...

Intro for May 17, 2019

Dear Gossips,  John Wick: Chapter 3 opens this weekend. The reviews have been really good – read Sarah’s review here – and it’s projected to bring in around $50 million to win the box office ahead of Avengers: Endgame. It’s no secret that we love John Wick here. But you know what we also love? Ro...

On this week’s episode of What’s Your Drama, Sasha tells me what I looked like when I was interviewing Yara Shahidi and Charles Melton for The Sun is Also a Star. I am not ashamed. Each and every one of you would have behaved the same way. Also, we explore a Sliding Doors situation for a woman who i...

Jhené Aiko releases freestyle called "Triggered" about ex Big Sean

Last week, Jhené Aiko, vice president of my emotions (SZA, H.E.R and Lizzo are co-prez right now) released a freestyle called “Triggered”, a beautiful song that is clearly about her long-time love and current ex, rapper Big Sean. As usual, Twitter took notice: Jhené has been dropping hints that she ...

RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 11 Crown Contenders

On Monday, the season 11 queens walked the red carpet for the finale of RuPaul’s Drag Race. The finale is usually filmed with several different outcomes, and the true winner is only revealed when the episode airs. On the red carpet though, to quote Anne Hathaway, everyone really stepped their pussie...

Celebrity Social Media, May 16, 2019

Yesterday, I touched on Kelly Ripa and the men of the Bachelorette franchise having social media words – something about them taking credit for her paycheque. Kelly Ripa hasn’t responded and neither has their network, ABC. But Ellen Pompeo, star of one of ABC’s most prestigious, long-running and mon...

Teaser trailer for Black Mirror Season 5 features Miley Cyrus

The teaser trailer for Season 5 of Black Mirror is out and it’s filled with a powerhouse cast. For starters, Miley Cyrus shows up in a fabulous purple wig, apparently playing the meta role of a famous singer and popstar. There’s also Andrew Scott, better known as James Moriarty in BBC’s Sherlock, An...

The resurgence of Wendy Williams

We are witnessing the literal resurgence of our queen of tea, shade, and daytime, Wendy Williams. And it’s been a long journey: it almost was 2 years ago when The Daily Mail broke the story about her satanic soon to be ex-husband having a whole house and mistress on the side. This turned into a fami...

Lizzo's amazing Essence Magazine cover

Just under a month ago, I had the undeniable pleasure of seeing Lizzo live at Coachella. Yes, it was the performance where she stopped the music and whipped out her flute to back her own track after the audio cut out FOR THE SECOND TIME. Watching Lizzo perform is a religious and life-changing experi...

Intro for May 16, 2019

Dear Gossips,  I saw a film last weekend that I can’t stop thinking or talking about, even though it made me uncomfortable, especially since it made me uncomfortable – and on so many levels.  The Grizzlies, based on a true story, is about the determination and resilience of a group of Inuit yo...

What Else for May 15, 2019

Is it 2007? Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan probably wish it could be 2007. Back in 2007, Kim Kardashian wasn’t a thing yet and Lindsay Lohan, well, you know. And now? Now Kim Kardashian has eclipsed Paris’s fame in a way even she couldn’t have imagined and Emma Stone won an Oscar before the age of 3...

Daenerys is the Queen of the Ashes in promo for Game of Thrones series finale

HBO has only released two promotional photos from the final episode of the series. One of them is of a grim looking Tyrion, obviously traumatised af from what he’s just seen. Understandable. I hope in the episode we’ll also see him looking embarrassed, or at least a little sheepish, because he has t...

Celebrity Social Media, May 15, 2019

Kelly Ripa said The Bachelorette disgusts her and the creator Mike Fleiss responded by saying something gross about paying Kelly’s salary. Is ABC cool with him talking to their face of daytime TV like that?  Easy, @KellyRipa ... #TheBachelor franchise pays your salary! — Mike Fleiss (@fleiss...

New trailer for Midsommar starring Florence Pugh gives off strong Wicker Man vibes

Lainey emailed me yesterday after she clicked on something that said, “Florence Pugh breakup movie”, only it turned out to be the new trailer for Midsommar, Ari Aster’s follow-up to Hereditary. Lainey does not handle horror well, so I think she might be scarred for life now. The first trailer gave u...

Show Your Work: Can Constance Wu Take a Lesson From the Fug Girls?

I wish you could hear how excited I am to tell you this… But we got Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan, aka the FUG Girls, on Show Your Work!!! Let’s start at the beginning of the episode though because, as promised, on this episode, we begin by unpacking the Constance Wu situation starting from...

Taylor Swift tells Ellen she drinks white wine

Taylor Swift is on The Ellen Show today, her first interview in two years or so. The clips are all over the place – you can find them all here. As we’ve seen, this is accessible Taylor, and it’s supposed to feel like a sharp pivot from reputation Taylor who was offering no explanations. Which is the...

Prince William and Catherine have "private visit" with Prince Harry, Meghan, and baby Archie

Prince William and Catherine visited Prince Harry and Meghan Markle yesterday at Frogmore Cottage for their first visit with Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. That’s all we know. The only statement released by the royals about it was that “it was a private visit”. Obviously this isn’t going to sh...

Intro for May 15, 2019

Dear Gossips,  It was great to see Selena Gomez on the Cannes red carpet last night, on opening night, as a member of the cast of The Dead Don’t Die, by Jim Jarmusch. Selena, as we know, has pulled back from the public eye over the last year to focus on her physical and mental health. She’s slowl...

What Else for May 14, 2019

Let me put on my Duana hat here for a minute to talk about this Game of Thrones name thing: Khaleesi and/or Daenerys, and people giving these names to their children, and whether or not there’s regret since, you know, the Mother of Dragons did what she did. Why is this even a discussion? Was it a di...

The Veep series finale

On Sunday night, Veep went deep and dark for a finale that we all deserved. It has always been a brilliant show that made me feel smart for being in on the jokes and scandal. Most importantly, it stands in a unique spot amongst the elite of political television shows like West Wing, The Good Wife, H...

Keanu Reeves in John Wick: Chapter 3 movie review

In the midst of superhero dominance at the cinema, Keanu Reeves and his stunt pals Chad Stahelski and David Leitch, along with screenwriter Derek Kolstad, launched an original action franchise based on a simple premise: Watching Keanu Reeves fight people is cool, we’ll do that for two hours. John Wi...

Celebrity Social Media, May 14, 2019

I paused at this caption because I didn’t get it. What does “It’s been Venice here” mean? Then I forgot about it, until I saw it again on Twitter. People are guessing she meant it as “v. nice,” which would be a shortened version of “very nice.” This is a crime.         ...

Prince William and Catherine to meet baby Archie this week

Prince Harry was in Oxford today, visiting Oxford Children’s Hospital, spending time with parents and kids with cancer and also the OXSRAD Disability Sports and Leisure Centre.  Prince Harry at the @OxChildrensHosp in Oxford this morning. Upon arrival he chatted to staff and Young parents. “...

First reaction to the trailer for Beverly Hills 90210 reboot is pure, giddy tween joy

Oh you beautiful dolls!  First reaction – pure, giddy tween joy. Second reaction – am I being an uncritical stan? See for yourself:   Maybe we should talk about the art of trailers on Show Your Work, because they can be very good or very bad, but when they’re good, they’re under-sun...

Cannes Preview 2019: Elle Fanning Fashion Parade

Elle Fanning is on the jury at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, which kicks off tomorrow, so all you really need to know is that this is a red alert, ELLE FANNING FASHION PARADE moment. She wore one of my all-time favorite red carpet dresses at Cannes in 2017. Can she top it?! What will she wear th...

Angelina Jolie and Michelle Pfeiffer in Maleficent: Mistress of Evil teaser

Angelina Jolie has recently rebranded herself as the First Lady of Disney, a path lit up by the live-action remake of Maleficent that came out a few years ago. It’s an okay movie, it has some interesting revisionist ideas—something lacking in the other live-action remakes (except for Pete’s Dragon, ...

Mr. Ratburn from PBS’s Arthur is Gay and Married

When I was younger (yes Sarah, I used to be EVEN younger), my favourite show on TV was Arthur. I was obsessed, and I could (and still can) sing the entire theme song from memory. Watching Arthur was my after-school ritual because it was a great show. The premise was wholesome, the jokes were funny (...

Tom Holland was asked to spell GYLLENHAAL on television and couldn’t get it right.

Are you Team Silky or Team Yvie on RuPaul's Drag Race?

Things that aren’t controversial: Miss Vanjie should have won the makeover challenge and Nina v. Silky was probably one of the worst lip syncs in the history of Drag Race. I love Nina West too much to call for a double sashay, but if there was ever a moment this season, it was that.  Things that ...

Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson in The Hustle movie review

In the last few years, we have seen several gender-swapped remakes of movies, and the latest is The Hustle, starring Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson. It’s a gender-swapped version of Bedtime Story (the 1964 original starring David Niven and Marlon Brando), and the more famous Michael Caine-Steve Mart...

Celebrity Social Media, May 13, 2019

Last week, Lainey wrote about how Taylor Swift incorporated Game of Thrones into her album promo. What do you think is bothering her more – that a “yee haw ass song” has blocked her from #1 or that the “yee haw ass song” is now part of Game of Thrones lore. This instantly went viral on Twitter last ...

Gemma Chan claims she accidentally liked tweet criticising Constance Wu

So far today, we’ve speculated about a queer celebrity hookup and we’re about to get into a possible beef between two Asian actresses. Is this equality? LOL, obviously that’s a joke of a question.  Backstory: on Friday, after Constance Wu tantrum-ed on social media about Fresh Off The Boat being ...

Lupita Nyong'o and Janelle Monae rumoured to be romantically involved after the Met Gala

Written by Melayna Lupita Nyong and Janelle Monáe set Twitter ablaze following the Met Gala and it was for more than their fire outfits. People, and possibly me, are convinced there could be a romance brewing between them, especially since there are rumours that Janelle and her frequent professio...

Unpacking the drama between YouTube stars James Charles and Tati Westbrook

YouTube drama is the best drama, mostly because I’m jealous that young twenty somethings get to film themselves talking at a camera and earn enough money to buy mansions. The best part? This particular gossip starts with a betrayal brand deal for (wait for it) HAIR CARE VITAMINS!!!! (I’m still waiti...

Constance Wu reacts badly on Twitter to Fresh Off The Boat being renewed for sixth season

Duana and I will be unpacking the Constance Wu (bad) work situation on Show Your Work this week. I get it though that it was a big story all weekend so here are some thoughts before we get into a more robust discussion about her on the podcast.  Much of the conversation around Game of Thrones lat...

Game of Thrones Season 8, Episode 5 recap

SPOILERS At this point, I think we’ve accepted that no one is really going to be happy with how this ends. I don’t think this is what ANYONE wanted out of the final season of Game of Thrones. Have there been some great moments? Yes. The first two whole episodes, especially “A Knight of the Seven ...

Intro for May 13, 2019

Dear Gossips,  If you can’t please everyone, who do you choose to please? That was the task for the showrunners of Game of Thrones – and after last night’s episode, “The Bells”, the answer, apparently, is The Spectacle. You indulge The Spectacle. In that sense, Game of Thrones, to me, has become ...

What Else for May 10, 2019

We are nowhere near Christmas but I’m sure this is what you asked for, right? Mel Gibson is playing Santa. It’s not a feel-good movie, because, well, Mel Gibson. It’s been a long time since the words “Mel Gibson” and “feel good” made sense together. The title of this movie is terrible. The story sou...

Chris Pine promotes I Am The Night with 90's boy band hair

Chris Pines limited series, I Am The Night, aired earlier this year on TNT. Reviews were medium. I don’t know if it made that much of an impact. As we know, television is a crowded space now, and it’s a peak space – there are so many shows, so many good shows, even great shows, that most of can’t wa...

Busy Philipps speaks out about her abortion on Busy Tonight

This is the opening of Tuesday night’s episode of Busy Tonight. The relevant part begins at the 39 second mark:    The clip stands on its own, obviously. You don’t need me to explain why it’s so powerful, especially because it’s not new news – Busy wrote about her decision to choose an...

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt returning to Netflix for interactive episode

Spoiler alert: If you haven’t finished Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, this article will contain some spoilers from the final season. Also, why haven’t you finished it yet?  Wednesday at FYSEE, Netflix’s annual exhibition highlighting its best series, the company announced that an interactive special ...

Saying goodbye to Veep

Written by Melayna I feel like I’m not alone in denial/despair that HBO’s Veep is ending. This is a show with no likeable characters, with the exception of a few standouts (heart eye emoji to Richard Splett) and Veep has made this season all about characters and consequences, often seeing them be...

Celebrity Social Media, May 10, 2019

Many of us might not be able to name a Rita Ora song, but she does attend many high-profile fashion events. This year she was at the Team Marc Jacobs table, which included Kate Moss and Lizzo.

Rihanna breaks history with launch of fashion line with LVMH

First teaser for Renee Zellweger's Judy Garland biopic, Judy, looks incredible

I was hoping to get at least halfway through Cannes before we started talking about this year’s Oscar race, but Cannes doesn’t start for a week and here we are, talking about this year’s Oscar race. The subject: Renee Zellweger. A teaser for Judy, her biopic of Judy Garland has been released, and ye...

Taylor Swift covers Entertainment Weekly for takeover cover story

Taylor Swift covers the new issue of Entertainment Weekly. This is basically a takeover. Taylor is a huge get for EW. They’ve dedicated several features in addition to the cover story to Swift content. And it’s a proper magazine interview – not an essay she’s written about herself, not another celeb...

Ryan Reynolds in Detective Pikachu movie review

Well this is a letdown. After a wildly weird, confusingly promising trailer, Detective Pikachu is a bust. Well, a qualified bust, because six year olds and/or super enthusiastic Pokemon fans will probably like it. But it is not nearly as wacky or subversive as the trailers made it seem. And the coha...

Intro for May 10, 2019

Dear Gossips,  A year ago we were talking about Awkwafina right before what would be the biggest summer and then the biggest year of her professional career up to that point.

OMG this Woodstock 50 mess. It’s already a member of the Year of the Scam club – and this only makes it …scammier – is that a word? Can it be a word?

It: Chapter 2 teaser trailer is an excellent first look

It was a surprise monster hit in 2017—it’s the highest-grossing horror film ever—and a sequel was immediately greenlit for 2019. Well, the teaser trailer for that sequel, It: Chapter 2, is here and all I have to say is: No thank you. All full up on horror over here. I’m good. Watch this teaser right...

Anne Hathaway can't contain her emotion over RuPaul on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

Anne Hathaway was on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert this week promoting The Hustle, which is coming out this Friday. I can’t wait to see The Hustle, since it’s based off one of my favourite movies, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. However, Anne’s interview is probably one of my favourite late night TV a...

David Beckham has had his driver’s license suspended for 6 months for talking on the phone while driving; he was photographed doing it.

Tori Spelling knows how to sell idea of 90210 reboot in EW interview with Jennie Garth

If you’re like me, you still can’t quite believe the 90210 reboot – or revival, or mockumentary, or whatever you want to call it – is happening. It seems like the kind of thing that people would drunkenly pitch over drinks and then realize, when they were sober, could never actually happen, right?  ...

Richard Madden in talks for Marvel's The Eternals

Even though we are years away from needing a new James Bond, Richard Madden is currently the favorite heir presumptive, thanks to his compelling turn in Bodyguard. But yesterday The Wrap reported that Madden is in talks for The Eternals, the Marvel movie that will star Angelina Jolie. I realize Jame...

Michael B Jordan has dinner in New York with model Cindy Bruna

I’m worried about Kathleen. I don’t know how she’s going to react to this. At the same time, I REALLY want to see how she reacts to this.  Michael B Jordan was in New York last night. He was seen at dinner at Carbone. According to the paparazzo, it was a four hour dinner and he was not alone. He ...

Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx photographed together at the Met Gala

I was supposed to get to this yesterday and then Archie happened. Do we still care about Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx?  Katie Holmes was part of the Zac Posen group on Monday at the Met Gala.

Prince Harry meets with Invictus Games athletes in the Netherlands after introducing Archie to the world

Now that we’ve been introduced to Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor… when do you think we’ll see him again? As we witnessed yesterday, Meghan Markle is a public relations superstar. She’s not giving up the next shot of Archie without strategy. And besides, we are coming up on a major House Sussex ...

Intro for April 9, 2019

Dear Gossips,  Big day for England yesterday – and I’m not just talking about the introduction of Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor of House Sussex, although that was my first English priority. My husband, Jacek, he cared about Archie too, as my partner on this website, but his primary English ...

What Else for May 8, 2019

Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor is here. But there’s another celebrity baby name that’s also been announced.

Baby Archie’s excellent premiere

Duana’s already written about the excellent work that went into Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s baby naming. Let’s now talk about the excellent work that has been this entire baby rollout.  Archie’s premiere has been masterful public relations from someone who clearly has great PR game. On Monda...

Show Your Work: Taylor Jenkins-Reid thinks Daisy Jones Should Drive You Nuts

This week it’s part 2 of our conversation with the incredible Taylor Jenkins-Reid!

Celebrity Social Media, May 8, 2019

The Met Gala was packed this year, and it was better for it. As Lainey said, the Met is much better than it was 10 years ago because of the type of celebrities they are including. But making it a more interesting night means making choices about who to include and who to… not include. Naomi Watts wa...

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle name their baby Archie

THEY DID IT.  THEY DID THAT.  They surprised everyone! NOBODY had Archie on their lists. Not a single person in all the opining about Philip and Spencer and Charles had any of these names anywhere on their list… which means I am so proud of these Sussexes I can’t even see straight.  Because...

Chris Hemsworth and Tiffany Haddish to star in buddy cop comedy, Down Under Cover

Over the last few years, Chris Hemsworth finally found his groove as a comedic actor, but also as a leading man who is happy—even enthusiastic—about working with women. Most of his movies from the last few years have Hemsworth either playing second fiddle to women (Ghostbusters), or co-starring with...

George Clooney asked about Baby Sussex while promoting Catch-22

After stepping out together for the first time as a three-piece, as expected (and intended), #BabySussex is now trending worldwide on Twitter. Currently in the #5 position and steadily rising. This is what I posted about earlier – the House Sussex PR game on full flex, rolling this out like episodic...

Brad Pitt answers paparazzi's question about Jennifer Aniston

Here’s one thing that sucks more for celebrities than civilians. If you’re a civilian, and you’re way over someone, you don’t have to deal with millions of people not being over them on your behalf. Like nobody in my life is pining over any of my exes. I mean, almost everyone I’ve dated, with maybe ...

Observing House Cambridge's use of emojis on social media

That was the most economical title to fit what this post is about but I realise that it’s misleading so, to be clear, House Cambridge, William and Kate, have not released their own set of emojis – even though that would be amazing and they should consider it.  Prince William and Catherine are in ...

Zendaya & Law Roach: Met Gala Best (Lainey)

Come ON.  COME ON. As I’ve already said today, Disney princess is automatic Camp. Fairy tales are stories made extra. And what makes Zendaya’s look extra extra, as managed by Law Roach, of course and always, is that this is Cinderella down to the very, very last detail. It’s not Cinderella-ins...

Elle Fanning: Met Gala Best (Duana)

It was an embarrassment of riches last night. This theme brought out one of the best overall showings in years. But while some of the people we loved are the ones we expected to (looking at you, Celine) part of the reason this look gets my best dressed is that it’s so unexpected.  As of this writ...

Kerry Washington: Met Gala Most Boring (Duana)

I loooove Kerry Washington and I frequently love what she wears. Especially in her Scandal period her work wardrobe was so cashmere sleek that she got to play more on carpets – especially those where she was just a presenter or a guest. Relatively low pressure seemed to work well with her creativity...

Gwyneth Paltrow: Met Gala Most Boring (Lainey)

When the theme is Camp, “worst dressed” isn’t actually the worst. “Worst dressed” might actually be the prize. By now, hopefully, we have a better understanding of the spirit of Camp, what it can be and what it most certainly isn’t.  Is Gwyneth Paltrow on theme?  Is she f-cking EVER?!? ...

Lady Gaga & Cardi B: Best Met Theatre

You knew it was going to be SOMETHING. When Lady Gaga was confirmed as one of the co-chairs of the Met Gala, with the theme being Camp, nobody had any doubts that it was going to be the most literal interpretation of the theme from the woman who’s already done a meat dress and arrived as an egg to t...

Gabrielle Union & Dwyane Wade: Met Headgear Champions

How do they do that? How do they make what could easily veer into cheesy couple’s costume territory look so dramatically badass?  Look at these two. Just please experience Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade right now… I don’t have enough knowledge of various Catholic orders to have the exact ...

Janelle Monae: Met Devotion

This is true devotion to the theme. Janelle Monae has always honoured this carpet, in the most literal, personal ways. She is, more than almost anyone else, an artist whose clothing is an extension of her personality, and of the vibe she’s embodying. Right? Like it’s never a joke for her, even thoug...

Celine Dion is Camp personified at 2019 Met Gala

I could have grouped Celine Dion with the other silver headpieces – and I actually suggested it to Duana, because our list was starting to get real aggressive, and I thought, maybe, since we haven’t slept, we might want to conserve energy. She told me that was blasphemy and she’s right, obviously, h...

Tessa, Natasha, and Kristen: a Warrior, a Doll, and a Knight go to the Met Gala

There are always those people who talk about change like it’s a degradation of the standard that once was. Sometimes it’s true. Like, maybe your favourite restaurant isn’t the same anymore because they flipped the menu and, sure, that’s fair. But what about the people who complain about the restaura...

Solange & Zoe Saldana: the Curse of Met Gala Expectations

Did Zoe Saldana look good last night? Of course. The rust-coloured, one arm sequined dress with the neck tie and matching stole fit her beautifully. Her hair was great. The giant purple flower was great. And at any other event, she’d be a contender. At this event, though? When we’ve already featured...

Ciara & Hailee Steinfeld: Met Extreme Confidence

I love what Hailee Steinfeld wore to the Met Gala. It’s so very, very clear to me that to really kill it on the red carpet at this event, you need to have a sense of humour – which is ironic because Anna Wintour is the last person anyone thinks of as having one.  But if you’re going to get out in...

Sophie Turner & Joe Jonas: Met Best 90s

The predominant style indicator of the 90s, if you were trying to approximate it in a drawing or sketch, is plaid flannel, plus combat boots. That’s the shorthand, and it should be, I get why it is.   But when I saw Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas, 5 days after their Vegas wedding, wearing coordinate...

Lupita Nyong’o: Met Unfair Advantage

In the past couple of years stylists have finally been getting their due, and some, like Law Roach, are approaching pop culture figure status on their own. It’s absolutely time for people to acknowledge the work of stylists and for them to be stars in their own right, kind of like how showrunners su...

Katy, JLo, Gemma, and Gigi: the Met Gala silver headpieces

No one can say that Katy Perry doesn’t put in the effort. When you walk the Met Gala carpet as a chandelier, that’s effort. Anna Wintour certainly appreciates that, year after year, Katy brings her brand of spectacle to the event. And never has a Met Gala theme suited her more. When she first arrive...

Yara Shahidi & Cara Delevingne: Camp Below The Belt

I. Freaked. Out.  Look, I’ll admit it. I thought the Camp theme was going to be too broad, and that most people weren’t going to want to risk enough to really come to play, or that the interpretations would be so vague they wouldn’t actually evoke that.  And I mean, there was some of that – pe...

RuPaul, Aquaria, and Violet, A Drag Queen Disappointment: Met’s Most Unfulfilled Potential

RuPaul, Aquaria (Season 10 Drag Race winner), and Violet Chachki (Season 7 winner) walked the Met Gala red carpet yesterday, an important milestone. When I wrote yesterday about the Queer History of Camp, I said, “I’m a little disappointed, although we’ll have to see for sure tonight. With Shange...

Cole Sprouse & Lili Reinhart: Met Camp Couple

I didn’t stutter on that title. Obviously there are other couples tonight who killed it style-wise – more than usual, actually – and we’ll get to all of them. But the reason that Cole Sprouse and Lili Reinhart seem like the establishment here even though they’re early in their 20s and only attending...

Harry Styles vs. Ezra Miller: Best Dressed Man

There wasn’t a lot of competition for Best Dressed Man, considering that straight men apparently don’t understand Camp (I’m looking at you Taron Egerton, Rami Malek, and Seth Myers). However, there were a few contenders which makes what I’m about to say super controversial, but I’m here to say it an...

Kacey, Hailey, Nicki: the Met Gala Barbies

Nicki Minaj’s association with “Barbie” is well-known. From the moment she came on the scene, “Barbie” has been her whole deal, her “barbz” ride-or-die with her every feud. Seeing her last night in “Barbie” pink, with a “Barbie” high ponytail, was almost a throwback. Or a flashback. I keep looking a...

Jared Leto and the Olsens: Best and worst 2019 Met Gala twins

I’m cheating by calling Jared Leto a twin – he carried around his own head. Maybe that would be irreverent and serious and ridiculous if we hadn’t seen it before – Gucci did it in Fall/Winter 2018. A gag that is only a year old is not Camp.  Jared Leto is always in Gucci so of course he was going...

Tracee Ellis-Ross & Lena Waithe: Best Met Messages

Lena Waithe delivered the best statement at last year’s Met Gala when the theme was “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination”, commanding the red carpet in a rainbow cape meant as a super-shield of support and strength for those rejected by a divine prescription that is selective and b...

Alessia Cara, Emma Roberts, Lucy Boynton, Lana Condor in tulle at 2019 Met Gala

Tulle is, in and of itself, one of the most extra of fabrics. Tulle is not often used sparingly. Tulle is almost always presented to us in excess. Tulle is also a tutu, seen on ballerinas. And, as Prem wrote in his post about Camp yesterday, Louis XIV was the Sun King of Camp, and he LOVED ballet, h...

Gal Gadot & Bella Hadid: Met Gala Personal Bests

In the category of ‘honest confessions nobody will be shocked by’, I’ve never cared much about Bella Hadid. I mean I don’t dislike her in any way, but I’ve known her because of who her sister is or her boyfriend was and/or is, but never really thought “oh I need more of her in my life”.  Last nig...

Mindy Kaling, Awkwafina, Sarah Paulson: MET heist in real life

There was a lot of gold on the red carpet, so much so that at one point I started making a list and then promptly gave up. I think some people used gold and pink as a shortcut to camp, and that’s what I think Mindy Kaling did with this dress. While I could see why she chose a Moschino dress, blon...

Saoirse Ronan & Rachel Brosnahan: Subtle Camp Blondes

“Theme! Theme theme THEME!” That’s the refrain on Twitter, and honestly it’s often the refrain on our text threads – but at the same time, part of pulling off what is essentially a costume is knowing what works on you.  Saoirse Ronan has consistently killed in her wardrobe choices whenever she’s ...

Wendi Deng tried too hard while Karlie Kloss didn't try at all at the 2019 Met Gala

I’ve spent the better part of the last two days reading about Camp, and the more I try to nail down a definition, the harder it is to understand. Prem broke it down wonderfully in his writing: “we can roughly categorize Camp as the appreciation and delight of frivolity, parody, and extravagance. Cam...

Billy Porter was the hallmark of Camp at the 2019 Met Gala

We need to listen to Debra Messing more, because apparently, she has a secret clairvoyant sense that no one knows about. You might even call her the Gay Whisperer. In an article explaining Camp by W Magazine, Debra Messing commented, “I hope Billy Porter is [at the Met Gala]. He will be the person t...

Intro for May 7, 2019

Dear Gossips,  Rihanna, the High Priestess of the Met Gala, did not show up at the Met Gala. I’m not mad about this decision. She knows now what she means to the Met Gala. She knows how people have reacted to her at the Met Gala. She understands the expectations she has created for herself. Skipp...

What Else for May 6, 2019

A reminder once again that we’re pulling a Met Gala all-nighter and our first posts should be up at around 1am ET tonight and steadily rolling out through the early morning. Send us your thoughts, tweet us, let us know what you think of all the looks! Speaking of Camp… Dolly Parton is working on ...

Busy Philipps's show, Busy Tonight, cancelled by E!

Yesterday, Busy Philipps took to social media to share that her show, Busy Tonight, would not be continuing on at E!. I’m not surprised – a couple of weeks ago I texted a friend that I felt like the show was on the cusp of being cancelled and she said she hoped not, because she really likes Busy. So...

Keanu Reeves brooding in leather for Saint Laurent

I had other thoughts I wanted to put in the title for this post. Like… Jared Leto could never.  And… Johnny Depp only wishes.  But first, let me show you what I’m talking about. I mean, this would be enough on its own: KEANU REEVES – FALL WINTER 19#YSL24 by ANTHONY VACCARELLO PHO...

Celebrity Social Media, May 6, 2019

Hailee Steinfeld is only 22 and this will be her 9th Met Gala. (Why was she going at 13?) The new(ish) unofficial rule is that it’s 18+ because the museum got pissed when a bunch of celebrities posted social media photos from the bathroom and everyone was smoking. They blamed the teens, of course. ...

New Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer gives away Avengers: Endgame plot points

The spoiler buffer for Avengers: Endgame is officially over, because there is a new trailer for Spider-Man: Far From Home and it is straight up giving away major Endgame plot points. This trailer gives us a better view of Peter Parker post-re-snap, still reeling from That Thing That Happened and get...

Gwyneth Paltrow in New York with Brad Falchuk ahead of the Met Gala

Tonight is the Met Gala. It’s worth repeating, as we do every year, that the Met Gala is not an ordinary red carpet. The basics never seem to understand this which is why they think Blake Lively is Best Dressed year after year even though, year after year, she shows up in a ball gown – which is not ...

Prince Harry looks exhilarated as he announces birth of his baby boy

I wrote about the verb tense in my previous post about Meghan Markle going into labour. That didn’t take long – it’s been confirmed that House Sussex has produced a male heir.  Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex was safely delivered of a son at 0526hrs. The baby weighs 7lbs 3oz and The...

The Queer History of Camp

After months of waiting, the Met Gala is finally here, and I am dying to see this year’s outfits. The theme is based on Susan Sontag’s seminal 1964 essay, “Notes on Camp”, in which she tries to explain and describe the sensibility known as Camp. Trying to define Camp is like trying to see who’s on s...

Meghan Markle reportedly in labour

Fifteen minutes after I posted the open this morning, it was confirmed that Meghan Markle is (was?) in labour: Confirmed. Meghan is in labour. This from Buckingham Palace pic.twitter.com/5Z70fyhY5k — Chris Ship (@chrisshipitv) May 6, 2019 So it’s not a Star Wars baby. And it’s not a Cin...

Game of Thrones Season 8, Episode 4 recap

SPOILERS ALWAYS SPOILER ALERT LAST CHANCE TO GO BEFORE SPOILERS THE SPOILERS ARE COMING Here is my three-prong approach to this episode. 1) Bad Pet Ownership The animals of Westeros deserve better! Poor Ghost shows up at the mass funeral and has half his ear bitten off and NO ONE I...

Intro for May 6, 2019

Dear Gossips, As of post time, we are still awaiting the birth of Baby Sussex. Not yet born and already this royal child is a celebrity with celebrity tendencies: celebrities never show up on time. Celebrities exist to make us wait. They are, also, skilled in the art of cockblocking. The Met Gala...

What Else for May 3, 2019

I can’t wait until Sunday. Because …it’s a new world in Westeros. In so many ways. Not only because the age of Cersei is clearly longer than the night but because well, it is indeed a new day now that, you know, I don’t have to look at that perv anymore. Byeeeee! Did you see this on Twitter the o...

Trixie Mattel launching cosmetics line called Trixie Cosmetics

Move over Rihanna and Fenty Beauty, legend-star-icon Tracy Martel announced the launch of a new cosmetics line this week which will exclusively debut at LA Drag Con starting May 24. (I’m sorry Rihanna, I was just joking. You could never be pushed aside, even by a skinny legend like Trixie Mattel.) P...

Outfit of the Week: Keira Knightley

Usually, when I see leopard print, my associations are Jackie and Joan Collins and body-con. That is, it’s a coat, worn dramatically, or something tight. Relax – I know that that’s not the only time leopard print comes up (there are shoes and bags etc), I’m just saying it is commonly associated with...

Celebrity Social Media, May 3, 2019

Paper Magazine doesn’t need to wait long – we will see Harry Styles on Monday at the MET Gala. He will be a focal point and, according to Anna Wintour, he’ll be in Gucci. The way she compares him to Mick Jagger, she almost seems giddy. Or as close as Anna gets to giddy.   I miss Harry Styles...

Why you should be watching Bill Hader’s HBO series, Barry

There is too much TV, it’s a fact. It’s impossible to keep up with everything, so it is very possible you have missed Bill Hader’s HBO series, Barry. Are you watching it? No? Not yet? WELL YOU SHOULD. There isn’t much TV I would make people watch, because one thing about the plethora of options is t...

Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood will premiere at Cannes

Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie were seen in LA yesterday on a photo shoot, presumably to promote Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Everyone was expecting Quentin Tarantino’s latest film to screen at Cannes – they love him there – but when the initial lineup was released a few weeks ago, it was said that t...

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds reveal they are pregnant with third child at Pokemon: Detective Pikachu premiere in New York

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds attended the world premiere of Pokemon: Detective Pikachu in New York last night and it was also the world premiere of their third pregnancy. Blake wore yellow, on theme, and of course news that they’re expecting another child is making headlines around the world, a bo...

Seth Rogen and Charlize Theron in Long Shot movie review

The movie that took Seth Rogen from ensemble player in Judd Apatow projects to leading man (in Judd Apatow projects) is Knocked Up. Knocked Up is also a movie that has not aged particularly well, in the way it portrays ambitious, career-oriented women. Long Shot, a romantic comedy produced by Rogen,...

Intro for May 3, 2019

Dear Gossips, This is my favourite photo of the week: it’s Lucy Liu with her ma, Cecilia. It was taken on Wednesday, a big day. Because that was the day Lucy became just the second Asian-American woman to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.  During her remarks, Lucy paid tribute to Anna...

What Else for May 2, 2019

I’m still trying to wrap my head around the Avengers: Endgame timeline so I have no brain space left to figure out what, exactly, an alternate universe Kanye West played by Jaden Smith looks like. All I can tell you is that this is perfect casting. And that my fried mind is now picturing this like S...

Channing Tatum and Jessie J's Jenga bet results in nude photo on Instagram

I’m sure you’ve seen this photo. But, if not, I’m happy to bring it into your life. This is what Channing Tatum posted on Instagram last night:         View this post on Instagram                       A pos...

Ali Wong, Martin Short, and Thandie Newton join Big Mouth cast

Earlier this year, Prem tried to get you to watch Big Mouth. Did you? I hope so, you should really be watching Big Mouth. It’s the best show about puberty…ever. And every season it attracts more and bigger names to the guest cast. The upcoming season three is no different, as Thandie Newton, Ali Won...

Alleged body language expert releases ridiculous video analyzing Brie Larson during Avengers: Endgame press tour

There’s an absolutely ridiculous video on YouTube that was released last Friday making rounds on Twitter. The creator, an alleged ““““““““expert”””””””” in body language, analyzes a press interview with Brie Larson, Don Cheadle, and Chris Hemsworth. The video makes you both laugh at the sheer absurd...

Celebrity Social Media, May 2, 2019

Sarah Jessica Parker has a solid business reputation, so when she was sued (and then countersued) over a business deal with a jewelry line, it seemed out of the ordinary. They settled in February, and now she’s working with the company again. What happened here? Huge miscommunication? An executive c...

House Cambridge releases photos of Princess Charlotte for her 4th birthday

Today is Princess Charlotte’s 4th birthday and to celebrate the occasion, House Cambridge released three new photos of Charlotte taken by her mother, Kate, at their home in Norfolk last month. She is SO cute. That face! It’s curious and mischievous and sweet and smart. Look at her in this shot. She’...

The Jonas Brothers at the Billboard Music Awards with their wives

This is what surprised me last night during the Billboard Music Awards: I was into the Jonas Brothers performance. Hard. I laughed at the fact that Nick and Joe had to remind us that they had successful singles in their own right before joining Kevin for on their current song “Sucker” but I enjoyed ...

Madonna and Paula Abdul perform with holograms at the Billboard Music Awards

Earlier this week, it was reported that Madonna was spending $5 million of her own money on her Billboard Awards performance. As we saw last night, the money was for the tech – several Madonna holograms appeared alongside the “real” Madonna before bursting into digital confetti and…well…that’s Madon...

Taylor Swift's Billboard Music Awards performance with marching band being compared to Beyoncé's Homecoming

Taylor Swift opened the Billboard Music Awards last night with a marching band. You know where this is going – where else could it go? The comparisons were inevitable, non? Like, there is no way no one wouldn’t have picked up on it, especially since we just came off that major milestone of a cultura...

Intro for May 2, 2019

Dear Gossips,  Jacek was watching the Jays game on his phone while I had the Billboard Music Awards on last night. He took his headphones off for BTS. I never, ever thought that this would be the thing to bring us together: a boy band! Not just any boy band, though, obviously. For Jacek, it’s the...

Excuse me? How… the f-ck… did I miss this? I love Reese’s peanut butter cups. Not as much as I love Oreos, but peanut butter and chocolate has been a lifelong mood. Peanut butter and banana is my Elvis Presley association. I have a peanut butter and banana grilled sandwich for breakfast twice a week...

Veronica Mars trailer debuts on Hulu

If there was any doubt about who the Hulu Veronica Mars reboot was supposed to be for, it’s resolved in the first 10 seconds of the trailer.    “When your best friend is murdered before your 17th birthday...” followed immediately by a tiny blonde taking down an attacker with a taser an...

Celebrity Social Media, May 1, 2019

There’s a new Anjelica Houston interview in Vulture and my goodness is it juicy – at least what I’ve been able to get through before deadline. I had to stop at “pharmaceutical flake,” because I knew then that I’d need to read it, then re-read it immediately.          ...

Show Your Work: Dark GoT, Chaos Walking, and Sandra Oh

The Game of Thrones is full of terrors – only you can’t see them because “The Long Night” was so dark. I’m sure you’ve heard the complaints about how the episode was lit and here’s the article that Duana and I are referring to during our discussion this week on the podcast about the work and the tec...

#ThankYouAvengers hashtag circulates on Twitter as fans reminisce about the MCU

There is a lovely hashtag circulating on Twitter, #ThankYouAvengers. It’s full of people remembering their favorite characters and moments, and a hell of a lot of people mentioning they literally grew up with the Avengers, going from elementary school to college over the course of the eleven-year fr...

Charlize Theron promotes Long Shot in New York in multiple outfits

I have a friend who hasn’t seen Avengers: Endgame yet. Yesterday I offered to go see it again with her (what?! It will only be my third time!) but there are NO seats in any of the adult-only-you-can-drink-alcohol theatres. For the second weekend! You know, if you had any doubts about how much money ...

Robert Downey Jr. reportedly makes the most money of all the Avengers

No, he’s not a billionaire yet. But at this point – or soon – Robert Downey Jr has to be at least halfway there. The Hollywood Reporter published an article earlier this week about the Avengers and their paycheques. Of all the Avengers, RDJ has made the most money – and this is not surprising, nor i...

Celine Dion promotes L’Oreal Paris partnership in ELLE cover feature

Celine Dion is on the cover of the new issue of ELLE. This is a good read and I’m not excerpting anything from the article because it’s a joy from top to bottom and that’s the only way you’re going to get the full experience of letting her fill up your lungs with the kind of exhilaration that only s...

Intro for May 1, 2019

Dear Gossips,  The Billboard Music Awards are happening tonight. These awards don’t really matter so, really, if you’re watching, it’s because of the performances. Taylor Swift is opening the show. Madonna is performing with Maluma. God that guy is so f-cking hot I hope he brings some of the sexy...
