Dear Gossips, Sarah’s post about the first trailer for Christopher Nolan’s highly anticipated The Odyssey that was released yesterday will go up this morning. For now, let’s talk about Charlize Theron, it's her voice we hear at the top of the preview, in her role

Romeo represented Brand Beckham at the Met this year. David and Victoria haven’t been in years and I don’t know if she would, unless she attended as a designer (which means the house would need to purchase a table). Do we think Brooklyn and Nicola (who have attended

Lauren Sánchez: Vibe Killer

Imagine you work in an office with friendly vibes. You like your coworkers, you think some of them are cool and all of them are competent. Except for one person. It’s not that she’s bad at her job, she’s just a bad person for the collective: she

The iPhone Face Odyssey

Tom Holland and Zendaya are going to have SUCH a huge summer because they are in the two movies expected to be among the biggest, if not THE biggest, movies of the season. Of course, there is Spider-Man: Brand New Day, but there is also The Odyssey, Christopher Nolan’s

Hudson Williams: Tonight is Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

Can you believe that it hasn’t even been six months since Heated Rivalry premiered? So much has happened in such a short time, around and to Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie, and we’ve also learned so much about both of them. In Hudson’s case, it was immediately

Dear Gossips, It was the screaming that gave it away that Beyoncé had arrived at the Met Gala last night – and she made us wait. Not way past the wrap, unlike Rihanna LOL (as usual), but late enough to be near the end… which is not usually how it works

With all these legacy sequels coming out over the next year, I am on tenterhooks, living in Schrödinger’s box of managing expectations. As long as the movies are not yet out, they might still be good, which is very much where I am living with Practical Magic 2. Practical

Pretty Girlies at the Met

When the theme and the dress code are as broad as they were this year at the Met Gala (similar to what it was in 2024 when it was something something the garden of time and sleeping beauty), the resulting fashion is basically what we would see at the Oscars,
