Ellen Pompeo boldly says she wants to work less in new interview with Variety

By now it’s beside the point to give this piece a headline like “Ellen Pompeo Gives No F*cks” or “Is a Badass” or any other fawning hyperbole. We know that, we’ve talked about it a lot, and on the heels of Shonda Rhimes acknowledging, again, that she’s a powerhouse – “Titan” was the word quoted in t...

David and Victoria Beckham reportedly sign deal with Netflix for docu-series

In a headline catered to my specific taste, it’s been reported that the Beckhams have signed a major deal with Netflix for a “docu-series” (which, let’s be real, is a fancy word for reality TV). According to the Sun, it’s coming from David’s newish production company, Studio 99, and will feature foo...

Lainey has been grousing about Halloween all week, which is understandable. I would too if I had to dress up. And she makes a good point: who are the elaborate costumes for at this point? How many Tiger Kings and Carole Baskins do we need? But one thing I can get behind is pet and baby costumes. Kaa...

Show Your Work: Shonda Rhimes…and Borat’s Crimes

In my experience, all television screenwriters who started their careers in the 2000s have a PhD in Shonda Rhimes. This, of course, includes Duana who is a TV writer and a total nerd and can probably give a Ted Talk on Shonda because Shonda is the standard. So we’re deep-diving on Shonda’s profile i...

Multihyphenate Jennifer Lopez featured in Variety's Power of Women issue with producing partner Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas

Remember back in the late 90s/early 2000s, when the word “multihyphenate” became part of the cultural lexicon? It was often used to describe Jennifer Lopez. Of course she wasn’t the first multihyphenate or the last but in that moment, that was how we talked about her: dancer, singer, actress, design...

Julia Garner and Anna Chlumsky on set of Shonda Rhimes's Inventing Anna for Netflix

Today I’m wondering about writer Jessica Pressler. Every year or so, Jessica Pressler produces a piece for The Cut that becomes a cult thing in and of itself alongside its subject(s). Back in 2015, her article on “The Hustlers at Scores”  was one of the best investigative essays of the year. In 2019...

Oscar Isaac is in talks to play the Moon Knight for Marvel in a Disney+ series

Yesterday, “Moon Knight” started trending on social media, which I figured was either something to do with Marvel, or NASA had announced the intention of forming a band of chivalrous knights to patrol the moon against possible moon monsters (anything feels possible these days). Fortunately, it was t...

Keanu Reeves trades in longer, shaggy hair for a new buzzed haircut

How long has it been since we’ve seen Keanu Reeves without longer, shaggy hair?

I’m guessing this is obviously tied to Neo’s s...

Tom Holland and Zendaya arrive in Atlanta to work on Spider-Man 3

It’s a click-baity title, I know, so I just want to be clear that Tom Holland and Zendaya aren’t, like, together in photos right now but they are, presumably, together because both have arrived in Atlanta to begin production on Spider-Man 3. Here are new shots of Zendaya getting off a private jet ye...

A source tells PEOPLE that Kate Beckinsale's split from Goody Grace isn't a big deal for her

I’m not really sure why anyone needs an explanation for why Kate Beckinsale and her boyfriend of almost six months Goody Grace are no longer together.

George Clooney back in LA ahead of US election after keeping a low profile for most of 2020

Ariana Grande is Madame President Grande in "Positions" music video

In Monday’s site open, Lainey mentioned how “horny seems to be one of the themes of 2020 that doesn’t make us feel like sh-t,” and many were assuming Ariana’s new track “Positions” would be all about the positions that get her horny.

Review: Rebecca starring Armie Hammer and Lily James is equal parts lavish and hollow

Ben Wheatley’s adaptation of Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca is equal parts lavish and hollow, like a visit to a luxury department store—many fine goods are on display, but it’s just a bunch of f-cking handbags, Charlotte. Rebecca, already made to perfection by Alfred Hitchcock, tells the story of the s...

Jimmy Kimmel's interview with BLACKPINK made me doubt his level of curiosity in the band

Part of my job as a television presenter is to interview celebrities – and for those of us in this profession, no matter what it is, be it news, or entertainment, or sports, we all have lazy fallbacks.

Shawn Mendes releases thirsty trailer for documentary In Wonder featuring a lot of cringe and Camila Cabello

Every time we see Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello together, I debate whether they’re in madly in love, the way they tell us they are, or if it’s a showmance.

Chris Pratt's celebrity friends come to his defense as he is rumoured to be a MAGA supporter

Keanu Reeves kisses Alexandra Grant as he heads to work on The Matrix 4 in Berlin

Keanu Reeves is in Berlin continuing to work on The Matrix 4 and was seen presumably getting dropped off for work the other day by Alexandra Grant. They kissed as they said goodbye. It’s almost civilian styles, in this case however we’re talking about when of the most beloved celebrities in the worl...

George Clooney reveals he almost starred in The Notebook with Paul Newman in 1994

George Clooney’s next film, which he directed, called The Midnight Sky, will be available on Netflix in December. He did a virtual talk this weekend at the BFI London Film Festival about his career and his thoughts on the upcoming US election and about shooting the movie. Originally the goal was to ...

Intro for October 19, 2020

Dear Gossips, Does it just feel like there’s been a lot of new music this year… or has there actually been a lot of new music? The pandemic has made it so that artists can't party and they can’t tour. And while, sure, some of them have the means to travel privately and obviously it’s not like they’r...

Coincidence or conspiracy that Adele will host SNL as she is rumoured to be releasing new album?

Not sure anyone could have predicted that Adele would be hosting Saturday Night Live this fall. Host and musical guest? Sure. But just host? And no album to promote? It would have seemed improbably. But that’s what’s happening, October 24, next weekend.  About that album though…We’ve been WAITING fo...

What Else for October 16, 2020

There are two weeks to go until Halloween which means there are two weeks to go for me to tell you how much I hate Halloween. It’s a pain in the ass finding a costume, and it takes up the whole day, and while I participate in Halloween – and I’m actually good at my performances – it’s a pain in the ...

Review: The 40-Year-Old Version announces Radha Blank as a major talent, in front of and behind the camera

Radha Blank’s autobiographical film The 40-Year-Old Version is her feature film debut as a writer, director, and producer, and she also stars in the film as a fictionalized version of herself. Blank, a playwright, pulls from her New York theater roots for Version, a film about a woman on the cusp of...

Celebrity Social Media, October 16, 2020

In this morning’s opener, Lainey was all over Tom Cruise’s tongue work and mentioned Tom’s long-term relationship with Penelope Cruz. But you know who was after Penelope but before Katie Holmes? Sofia Vergara! And I feel like we haven’t really explored that era. It was rumoured that Will Smith set t...

Sasha Finds: Shampoo from Korea

We all know the beauty mecca is Korea. In fact, Asia in general is so far advanced that even when we think we are caught up on the latest we are still behind. That’s why Lainey and I have a post-pandemic pact to make a trip out there together so we can shop, eat, and come back with new faces. Until ...

Tatiana Maslany tells The Sudbury Star that she is not, in fact, playing She-Hulk

Last month, we heard that Tatiana Maslany would be headlining Marvel’s She-Hulk series on Disney+. But now, in an interview with The Sudbury Star, Maslany is setting the record straight. When asked by the interviewer, Ashley Martin, about everything she has going on including She-Hulk, Maslany repli...

Beautiful Timothée Chalamet covers GQ for extensive profile of his career and personal life

Timothée Chalamet covers the November issue of GQ and presumably this was set when Dune was still supposed to be coming out at Christmas. The film has now been moved to October 2021 which means a year from now we’ll be doing it all over again and while this is not ideal for anyone, given the circums...

Review: Charm City Kings starring Meek Mill is an above-average coming-of-age story

Like Concrete Cowboy, Charmed City Kings is a fairly standard coming-of-age tale given new life thanks to a unique setting. Inspired by Lofty Nathan’s 2013 documentary, 12 O’Clock Boys, Charmed City Kings is set within the world of Baltimore dirt bike riders, renowned for their stunt riding and idea...

Intro for October 16, 2020

Dear Gossips, Yesterday in What Else? I linked to Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Hudson talking about their work kisses and which actors were the best or worst kissers. It sounds more exciting than it actually was. G only mentioned kissing Robert Downey Jr when, obviously, for gossips, there are other nam...

Ben Affleck greets Ana de Armas at the front gate and Katie Holmes goes for a bike ride with Emilio Vitolo Jr

And we were just saying that it’s been a while since Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas were seen together. Once again for the people in the back who may have missed this – after months of pandemic dog walks and coffee runs, during which time not a week would go by without a sighting, Ana joined Ben in Ir...

What Else for October 15, 2020

It’s Throwback Thursday! Time for a gossip flashback to the 90s – when Gwyneth Paltrow was dating Ben Affleck and Matt Damon was dating Winona Ryder and G and Noni were BFF and if this was happening today, they’d dominate the headlines. Here they all are promoting The Talented Mr Ripley and I really...

Review: Hubie Halloween starring Adam Sandler isn't great but it isn't terrible

Last year, while being interviewed by Howard Stern, Adam Sandler said if he didn’t get a Best Actor nomination for Uncut Gems, he would “come back and do one again that is so bad on purpose just to make you all pay”. Hubie Halloween is Sandler’s first film since not getting nominated for Uncut Gems,...

BTS are proper moguls now as Big Hit Entertainment goes public and shares surge upon debut

Sometimes I wonder if BTS and their label Big Hit have in their possession a crystal ball, or some kind of magical instrument, that helps them manipulate time and space to their advantage. Because their timing is a total mindf-ck, as they build upon their successes, one after another, with perpetual...

Show Your Work: (Oval) Office Love and Breaking Kate

Tonight is The West Wing reunion on HBO Max. It is not available here in Canada and, well, as West Wing nerds, Duana and I are pretty salty about it. That said, the return (for one night) of The West Wing has served up an interesting work and culture dilemma: can you still ship your favourite couple...

Ben Affleck and best friend Matt Damon team up for Omaze campaign

We went from seeing Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas every day to… no BenAna, for weeks! Months now? They’re now back in LA after being in Ireland when he was shooting The Last Duel but so far, there have been no paparazzi-documented dog walks or coffee runs, although Ana recently posted a couple of dog...

Celebrity Social Media, October 15, 2020

TMZ is reporting that John Cena married Shay Shariatzadeh (the two met in Vancouver while he was filming Playing with Fire). She is a civilian and after he had a high-profile work relationship, reality show, and drama-filled engagement with Nikki Bella, they both settled down with their next partner...

Hillbilly Elegy starring Amy Adams and Glenn Close looks exactly like the kind of terrible movie the Oscars love

I can count on one hand how many books I’ve abandoned mid-go, but Hillbilly Elegy is one of them. J.D. Vance’s self-selecting memoir about the “economic anxiety” of his Ohio hometown and Appalachian roots is a collection of personal anecdotes that repackage the myth of the welfare queen for the digi...

Queen Elizabeth and Prince William step out, unmasked, for public engagement in England

In the UK, there are various stages of lockdown being imposed as COVID-19 infections continue to climb. Liverpool is at the most restricted level of lockdown and not sure if you saw the footage the other day but people were partying on the streets, in tightly-packed crowds, just before the lockdown ...

Sandra Bullock to return to rom-com with upcoming movie The Lost City of D

The last time Sandra was on Netflix was almost two years ago this coming December, when Bird Box became the movie of the holiday season. Sandra Bullock has been in Vancouver the last few weeks shooting a Netflix movie based on a British miniseries called Unforgiven about a woman released from prison...

Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield in talks to reprise Peter Parker roles in Spider-Man 3

Spider-Man 3 (version 2) is set to start filming this month—and may already be picking up shots in Queens, though Tom Holland is still working on the Uncharted movie—and with that comes another round of casting news, though this has not yet been backed up by the trades. Fandomwire is reporting that ...

Intro for October 15, 2020

Dear Gossips, Lizzo was named Top Song Sales Artist last night at the Billboard Music Awards and we only saw her outfit for the first time when she stepped out onstage to collect it. And her dress may have made more of an impact that way than had it been seen under normal circumstances, upon arrival...

Demi Lovato takes aim at Trump

We’re less than three weeks away from the U.S. presidential election and while some stars are trying to seemingly-apolitically “Rock the Vote,” others are blatantly waving their anti-Trump flag extra hard. Demi Lovato’s literally lending her voice to the chorus with her protest song “Commander in Ch...

Comedian Ziwe Fumodoh included in Time's Next Generation Leaders feature

Last week, TIME released its yearly “Next Generation Leaders” feature, which according to the magazine showcases “ten trailblazers who are forging new paths, crossing boundaries, and creating change.” This year, among a list of international trailblazers, Ziwe was included in the list as “The Pandem...

Hayley Atwell appears to smell Tom Cruise's hand on Mission: Impossible 7 set

Tom Cruise and Hayley Atwell continue to work on Mission: Impossible 7 in Rome filming the action scene that they started shooting last week. This time we see them out of the car during the pursuit and at some point I think they’re getting shot at. Since their characters are handcuffed together, the...

Celebrity Social Media, October 13, 2020

Gal Gadot’s “Imagine” video feels like it happened one hundred years ago but really, it’s only been a few months since celebrities decided to sing earnestly into the camera and cause a tidal wave of second-hand embarrassment. I acknowledge that I’m not this video’s target audience (I hate the song) ...

Robert Pattinson looks like Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood on set of The Batman in Liverpool

Robert Pattinson, Zoe Kravitz, John Turturro, and Colin Farrell were seen in Liverpool on the set of The Batman this weekend. It appears to be a funeral scene. Colin Farrell is unrecognisable as Oswald Copplepot, aka The Penguin. I am so here for Zoe’s Catwoman look too. Black leather is always Catw...

Cardi B seen kissing Offset in Vegas a month after filing for divorce

Cardi B’s birthday was on Sunday. And there were signs leading up to the celebration – in Vegas, more on this in a minute – that the present she was about to give herself was a reconciliation with estranged husband Offset. Last week on Twitter, in response to someone dragging him for being a “bad ma...

October 13, 2020 – Smutty Shout-Outs

Haley! Happy Belated Birthday from Kim – the annual tradition! And always on Thanksgiving weekend. Your mom says she’s thankful for you every day and that you’re the “best daughter in the world”. And that this would make you roll your eyes.  When you’re done doing that, you both need to send me some...

What Else for October 9, 2020

PROGRAMMING NOTE: As mentioned, it’s Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada and Monday is a nation-wide holiday so we will be dark on Monday and returning to regular gossip programming on Tuesday, unless some major event happens this weekend. And by major event, I consider BTS’s Map of the Soul ON:E vi...

Celebrity Social Media, October 9, 2020

This morning, Lainey mentioned wrote about the Fosters and the Sussexes having dinner together on the heels of Katharine’s pregnancy announcement. Katharine hasn’t posted on Twitter since September 16 or on Instagram since September 23 and I don’t think it has anything to do with privacy. She has a ...

Pixar’s next film, Soul, will skip theaters and premiere on Disney+ on Christmas day

In completely unsurprising news, Pixar’s next film, Soul, will skip theaters and premiere on Disney+. It is shifting back one month from its previously COVID-adjusted release date of November 20 to December 25, when it will be available on the streaming service at no additional cost. In internationa...

Alec Baldwin posted this photo on Instagram and asked his followers for help identifying the model and Leslie Jordan (who the New Yorker called “the ideal quarantine companion”) commented, “The model that belongs on Leslie Jordan’s wrist” which will crack me up for days.  Why did I watch the Hubie H...

The Rock reaches 200 million Instagram followers after endorsing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris

It’s been less than two weeks since The Rock endorsed Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in the US election. It was his first-ever political endorsement (which is funny, considering his name is constantly tossed about for a future presidential run) and the first video he posted has, as of today, 7.8 millio...

Amanda Seyfried leaps off the screen in teaser for David Fincher's Mank

David Fincher’s latest film is for Netflix, as is becoming the way for top-tier directors who can’t get the funding they want from traditional studios. Titled Mank, it is a biopic of Herman Mankiewicz, the screenwriter who co-wrote Citizen Kane, among other things (including an uncredited draft of T...

Thirsty D-listers Larsa Pippen and Harry Jowsey make their presence known at Il Pastaio

Is Larsa Pippen famous or just Internet famous? She comes up a lot on Twitter because she is a character: former Real Housewife (Miami, a franchise that never got its due), ex-wife of a basketball legend, mother of four, former Kardashian BFF (that relationship has cooled significantly) and, for a w...

Betty Gilpin eulogizes GLOW after Netflix cancels the series

One of my favorite shows on Netflix is GLOW, the 1980s-set dramedy about an all-women pro-wrestling show starring Alison Brie, Betty Gilpin, and Marc Maron. GLOW was strong right out of the gate, and it got better through each successive season. But by the time season three rolled out last year, I w...

Demi Lovato's ex-fiancé Max Ehrich is complaining about her breakup behaviour

Before I even clicked on this headline, I knew what I was going to read. I knew how it would play out and how the source would be positioned. It’s so artless.“Someone” went to US Weekly to cry about Demi Lovato’s breakup behaviour, saying she is acting like she was never engaged. We will get into to...

What's Your Drama: Flirting With Your Boss

Before we get into your letters this week, Lainey and I talk about our excitement for the new docuseries The Supermodels as well as the other shows we are watching that are slowly terrorizing us. Have you watched The Social Dilemma yet?  Then it's time for your drama!The first letter comes from "Pen...

What Else for October 7, 2020

Did you hear about the time Ed Sheeran went to a dinner party with Princess Beatrice and accidently cut him in the face with a sword that she pulled off the wall?! This is… a very royal thing to happen because who else is out here with mounted swords on the wall? And of course it happened at Prince ...

Celebrity Social Media, October 7, 2020

I was so excited to see Lainey’s intro this morning because I had it in my notes for today. When I think of the rise of the supermodel it’s of course Freedom! 90 (directed by David Fincher). It’s Cindy Crawford’s Pepsi commercial. It’s Naomi Campbell, period. And it’s this cover of Vogue (April, 199...

Harry Styles expected to release " Golden" music video for after filming in Italy

Harry Styles was seen in LA last night and according the pap who took these photos, it was a “dinner date” with a “mystery girl”. I’m not quite sure who the “mystery girl” is because there are two women – one in red and the other in a white top and jeans so why don’t we just leave it at the fact tha...

Tom Cruise and Hayley Atwell's MI7 on screen chemistry described by director Christopher McQuarrie

After shooting on a train the other day in Norway, Mission: Impossible 7 production has moved to Spain and here are Tom Cruise and Hayley Atwell shooting a car chase scene – what kind of other scene would it be involving a vehicle where Tom Cruise is concerned? It’s never going to be an easy breeze ...

Ted Lasso should be our new, kind-hearted, warm-fuzzy, go-to feel-good show to replace Schitt's Creek

With the final season of Schitt’s Creek hitting Netflix, the show is really, truly, officially over (until the inevitable reunion episode to support some new streaming platform called something like Zibi Max+). Of course we can always revisit Schitt’s Creek, but with no new episodes coming until Zib...

October's Teen Vogue cover star, Normani, tells the magazine her solo album is coming soon

Normani is on the October cover of Teen Vogue, looking all kinds of stunning, per usual. But my question is, is she becoming more famous for her look than she is for her music? Over the better part of two years she’s been telling us her debut solo album is coming soon, and once again, she tells the ...

Lenny Kravitz reflects on his relationship with Lisa Bonet in new interview with USA Today to promote his memoir

We kicked off the day with nostalgia. Should we keep it going? Lenny Kravitz has a memoir out called Let Love Rule which… obviously. That album, and the follow-up, Mama Said, ruled my life at the end of high school and through university. Still now, when I hear the first bars of “It Ain’t Over Til I...

Intro for October 7, 2020

Dear Gossips, The Supermodels!Apple TV+ announced yesterday a new docuseries called The Supermodels, chronicling the rise and influence of four of the OG supermodels of the 90s: Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, and Christy Turlington.  OH MY GOD YES PLEASE NOW HURRY WHY DO WE HAVE ...

What Else for October 6, 2020

Lana Del Rey’s mask is not a mask. But it’s so Lana Del Rey to wear this mask and then be upset over criticism of her mask. (Celebitchy) Chris Evans telling Donald Trump about himself on Twitter was very, very good but it wasn’t the best celebrity tweet of the night. That distinction, of course, bel...

Jennifer Lawrence in the COVID uniform in New York with husband Cooke Maroney

Jennifer Lawrence and Cooke Maroney were spotted out for lunch in New York yesterday. I laughed at the caption from the photo agency that accompanied these shots describing her as looking “casually chic in a pair of tuxedo pants”.  Tuxedo pants? Do you see tuxedo pants? I see loose-fitting pants, wo...

Chris Evans shows off his backflip and calls out Donald Trump for his reckless comments about COVID-19

The last time we posted about Chris Evans and social media it was because, um, he accidentally showed us his camera roll, featuring a photo of dick. Which, as you would expect, went viral. He handled it with humour which was exactly right and basically said that his dick wants people to vote. Over t...

Celebrity Social Media, October 6, 2020

Justin Bieber is embracing his inner Wife Guy and I don’t mind it one bit.  Last night, there was a mix-up on Dancing With the Stars and Tyra Banks read out the wrong names on live TV, which has happened before on an international stage (Steve Harvey can relate). Also, of course, the Oscars, when Fa...

Rihanna issues apology to Muslim community after facing backlash for use of song “Doom” by Coucou Chloe during Savage X Fenty Vol 2 show

Rihanna was a major trending topic on Twitter on Sunday after the release of her Savage X Fenty Vol 2 fashion show on Prime Video. As you may have seen, people were really excited about the collection. So the fact that she was trending was not necessarily a surprise – she is Rihanna, after all. She’...

Ryan Reynolds’s Free Guy doubles down on December 11 release date and gives us new trailer

As most movies vacate 2020, Ryan Reynolds’ Free Guy is sticking with it. A new trailer dropped yesterday, doubling down on the movie’s December 11 release date. Interestingly, there is no “Only in theaters” tag, which suggests that whatever happened with Mulan, Disney might not be over the direct-to...

Denis Villeneueve‘s Dune release date pushed back to October 2021

When the first trailer for Dune was released last month, I said it wasn’t going to come out in 2020, and sure enough following Bond, it is the latest movie to pull up stakes in 2020 and seek greener pastures in 2021. Specifically, Dune is taking overThe Batman’s October 1, 2021 release date, which p...

Intro for October 6, 2020

Dear Gossips, I still haven’t started reading The Meaning of Mariah Carey by Mariah Carey which makes me a sh-tty lamb, I know. Would Mimi understand what inlectio is? Well, she’d probably say that I could listen to the audiobook – it’s her voice, after all. Unfortunately audiobooks don’t work on my...

Bradley Cooper wants you to get out and vote

To get out and vote. Bradley Cooper did a voting PSA for his home state of Pennsylvania, explaining the steps and process of how to vote in Pennsylvania. It’s no Certified Young Person™️ Paul Rudd exhorting people to wear masks, but it’s a solid “how to” PSA and I’m sure BCoop’s little Superman curl...

What Else for October 5, 2020

Ready for a throwback? Let’s rewind to the premiere of Good Will Hunting, the movie that made Matt + Ben, both of whom have given us such great gossip over the years.

Review: Kirsten Johnson's Dick Johnson Is Dead is an exercise in impermanent mortality

Dick Johnson Is Dead is an unusual documentary in which director Kirsten Johnson (Cameraperson) imagines her father’s death over and over, and her dad, Dick, participates in staging his many fatalities. This exercise in impermanent mortality is way for Kirsten and Dick, who seem very close, to come ...

Tom Cruise casually sits on top of a train while filming Mission: Impossible in Norway

In the most Tom Cruise way possible. He’s jumped out of planes. He’s dangled off skyscrapers. He’s dangled off the side of a mountain. He has, already, done a stunt – or several – on top of a train. And he’s back at it for Mission: Impossible, I can’t remember which number. Check him out in Norway t...

Celebrity Social Media, October 5, 2020

The “don’t make eye contact” celebrity rule is the unexpected comeback of 2020. I call it a comeback because it seems so dated, doesn’t it? Especially in the era of smartphones, when there’s a constant sense of being watched. Part of the reason the concept made a comeback is because of pop culture I...

Alex Gibney’s surprise documentary, Totally Under Control, details America’s disastrous COVID response

In US elections, there’s a thing called the “October surprise”, which is when a candidate pulls out some information as a last minute battle axe to wield against their opponent. It was clear a couple weeks ago that Trump was aiming to have a miracle vaccine in October as his surprise to best Joe Bid...

Adele is rumoured to be releasing new music next month

Every three or four months or so someone tries to start a rumour that new music from Adele is forthcoming. Adele said herself at a wedding that the album would be released September 2020 – but that was before the pandemic. And she’s since made clear that those plans, if they really even were real pl...

James Bond's No Time To Die pushes release date back to April 2021 in the wake of COVID-19

In the wake of Disney clearing most of their slate out of 2020, the latest Bond film, No Time to Die, has also evacuated this cursed year for hopefully greener pastures in April 2021. The means that No Time Die has now moved back a full year, from its original April 2020 release date (which was itse...

Emilio Vitolo Jr's mom is not impressed with his relationship with Katie Holmes

Here are some new shots of Katie Holmes and Emilio Vitolo Jr out for dinner in New York this weekend. Can’t tell exactly because of low light but it looks like they may have been coordinating in brown?  As we now know, Emilio was engaged just before he and Katie started dating and reportedly broke u...

Intro for October 5, 2020

Dear Gossips, It probably wasn’t an accident that Saturday Night Live kicked off its new season the week of the first (and now likely only) presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. The debate happened last Tuesday and if you know the SNL schedule, that’s the day, if there’s a new epis...

Megan Thee Stallion aligns her art with social justice for Saturday Night Live performance

When it comes to musical guests on Saturday Night Live, the first performance is the most important. If I’m actually watching the show live, sometimes I’ve fallen asleep before the second performance even rolls around. So when Megan Thee Stallion had all eyes on her during her first moment on the mi...

Rick Moranis got punched in NYC and What Else for October 2, 2020

Have you seen Parenthood, the movie? If you haven’t, watch it. If you have, I want you to picture Rick Moranis, interrupting his wife’s class, singing “Close to You” to get her back. OK so putting aside the fact that you should not interrupt your partner at her workplace to apologise, OFFSET, the lo...

BTS collaborate with Jason Derulo and shoot Mikrokosmos using drones

“Savage Love (Laxed – Siren Beat)” by Jawsh 685 (Joshua Stylah) and Jason Derulo peaked at #7 on the Billboard Hot 100. Stylah shared the original piece of music on TikTok months ago and it was already a viral hit on the platform before Jason sampled it for the song and, obviously, it’s been one of ...

Are you not itching to see Anne Hathaway in The Witches as much as I am?

It's been an unexpected pleasure of the past few years to have several of our most beloved stars find The Roles They Were Born To Play. Jennifer Aniston's Alex in The Morning Show, Reese Witherspoon in Big Little Lies. Hell, I'm very late to the game and finally saw Thor: Ragnarok this week, so let'...

Celebrity Social Media, October 2, 2020

Last week I mentioned Chris Pratt is on a very short list of apolitical celebrities, so it’s ironic that he would use his voice to mock celebrity-led voting campaigns to promote a People’s Choice Awards nomination. I mean, on the very best of days, who cares about the People’s Choice Awards?! And if...

BLACKPINK drops first full-length album, The Album, and it shows range

BLACKPINK has finally dropped their first full-length album, The Album, and Blinks have had it on repeat all day. The video for the title track, “Lovesick Girls”, dropped at the same time as the album and, as always, there is a mood. The BLACKPINK mood right now, as mentioned earlier this week, is g...

Sasha Finds: Freckle Stain by Saltyface

Blame it on quarantine but I’ve never been so bored looking at my own face. Day in, day out, it’s just me, myself, and I. So a few weeks ago out of complete boredom I started drawing freckles on my face partly because it felt like I had a new friend in my reflection, but mostly because I’ve always l...

Loving Katie Holmes' mustard yellow plaid pants from yesterday's walk with Emilio

Last week I called Katie Holmes and Emilio Vitolo Jr the New Benana. The early part of the pandemic was dominated by multiple-times-weekly photos of Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas. Ben and Ana then spent several weeks in Ireland while he was working and if they’re back in LA, they’re likely in quarant...

Jamie Foxx gets do-over to bring Electro to the Tom Holland-led Spider-movies

Among the detritus of the abandoned Amazing Spider-Man movies is Jamie Foxx’s turn as the villain Electro. Though I’ve only seen The Amazing Spider-Man 2 once, I don’t remember Foxx being the main problem with that movie—or even the second, third, or fourth problem with that movie—so it’s nice to he...

Rihanna's Savage X Fenty Vol. 2 presentation showed us why we don't need Victoria’s Secret

As mentioned last week, Rihanna’s been in LA the last couple of weeks getting ready for the new Savage X Fenty Vol. 2 presentation. Last year, if you recall, Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty disrupted NY Fashion Week and basically buried Victoria’s Secret. VS had already confirmed by that point that they wo...

Joyce Echaquan's death picked up by outlets worldwide and we Canadians need to own it

Dear Gossips, No matter where you look today, there will be one headline to rule them all. His downplaying of COVID-19, his refusal to take it seriously, to protect people, and his administration’s piss poor handling of the pandemic has caused chaos. Now his positive diagnosis will also cause chaos....

Celebrity Social Media round-up for October 1, 2020

Usually I try to keep this space pretty flippant, if only for the small mental break from the general state of society. But I can’t not talk about Chrissy Teigen because she is the celebrity who spurred me to pitch this column to Lainey six years ago. At the time, Chrissy was one of the first people...

Celebrity matchmaking for Channing Tatum because he must still be single

In early April, it was reported that Channing Tatum and Jessie J broke up again. But then a couple of weeks later, they were seen together at her place and on a bike ride. She also posted this to IG stories on April 26 for his birthday: Channing Tatum on Instagram There was more coverage of the brea...

What’s Your Drama: Is It Your Mother-in-Law … or Is It You?

Welcome back to What's Your Drama. We kick the Season 6 by chatting about some Hollywood relationship drama. That's right! Katie Holmes and her new chef bf as well as Demi and her now ex-fiance, Max. Did you guys hear Demi's new song she dropped yesterday? Oohhhffffff. It came out after we recorded ...

Demi Lovato’s “Still Have Me” feels like she’s venting in the most controlled way about her split from fiancé Max Ehrich

“Music is always there for me…” says Lovato, who released her new song “Still Have Me” on Wednesday morning. The track arrives quickly following her messy split from fiancé Max Ehrich, but it’s (refreshingly) not a seize-the-moment single; it was originally released for free to fans on social media....

Katie Holmes and Emilio Vitolo Jr daily walking routine with paps

You may think you’ve seen this before but the shots are new – here are Katie Holmes and Emilio Vitolo Jr walking hand-in-hand in New York yesterday. As they do. Almost every day. And most days the paps are able to find them. It’s now become sort of a routine? Maybe not for them but in terms of cover...

We need to confront the racism that led to Joyce Echaquan death in a Quebec hospital

Dear Gossips, On Saturday Joyce Echaquan, a mother of seven, went the hospital Joliette, Quebec because she was having stomach pains. She died there two days later, but not before she went live on Facebook to document how she was being neglected and abused by hospital staff. Joyce, an Indigenous wom...

Newcomer Iman Vellani to play Kamala Khan in Disney Plus's 'Ms. Marvel'

After WandaVision, the next most interesting of the Marvel Disney+ projects is probably Ms. Marvel, which will introduce fan-favorite character Kamala Khan to the wider world. Yesterday, Deadline reported that Marvel has found their Kamala in newcomer Iman Vellani, putting another Canuck in the MCU....
