Dear Gossips,
Cats was trending on Twitter yesterday for hours as everybody reacted to the trailer. Sarah’s posting about it later this morning. It’s one thing to trend because everybody’s excited and can’t wait for Christmas for when the movie comes out. Read Full Intro
What Else?

Do we really need to thank Justin Bieber for this? I’m not thanking him for this. How do you feel about popsicles? I love popsicles – just the icy kind, not the bullsh-t with the cream inside, what is wrong with people, nobody needs cream in their popsicles. Anyway, when I was growing up, we’d fight about the best flavour. Full Story

Hi Duana! So I had an ex-boyfriend who had sisters named Annabelle and Daniella. Annie and Dani. Ooooof I always thought. That wasn’t thought through. And now - having married a different bloke- I’m about to do the same thing again and can’t stop thinking about it. I named my son Daniel. Full Story

Diane Kruger’s style used to really excite me. Look at this amazingness from 2012 in Cannes: Then, for a while there, it got kinda boring. Especially at the Met Gala. Full Story
For Your Fitness: The Ideal Fitness “Mix”
Backgrid
Hi Hayley, thanks for your advice in advance! I’ve been going to one of the large chain gyms for a few years, historically doing two cardio, two weights, and one yoga or pilates class each week. Recently I put my membership on hold to do a two-month HIIT gym challenge at a different gym. I have been pleasantly surprised with the results, a few pounds down and I can definitely see a change in my muscle tone/definition. Full Story

It’s trailer week: there’s Cats (so many cats!) and Top Gun, but the one I’ve watched the most is Hustlers. This is a huge career moment for Lili Reinhart and Riverdale’s buzz has dropped considerably, so I wonder how ready everyone is to move on. Full Story
Beyoncé’s: The Multiverse

It has been a bounty the last two weeks, hasn’t it? Beyoncé’s Lion King takeover has resulted in a bountiful yield full of announcements, red carpet appearances, and music and video drops. Last night, after Cats and Top Gun had their moment on social media, it was Beyoncé who came in and dominated the conversation with the release of The Lion King: The Gift, the companion album she curated and produced, highlighting the talents of African artists and creatives.

THAT article is now a Netflix series

If you follow true crime, you probably know THAT article, “An Unbelievable Story of Rape”, the one from ProPublica and The Marshall Project, about the serial rapist, the accused victim, and the badass lady detectives who finally tied it all together. If you haven’t read it, you should. Full Story
Sasha Finds: The Reformation Jeans
If I was only allowed to wear one clothing brand for the rest of my life it would hands down be The Reformation. Not even a stutter on the decision. From their playful dresses to their dope shoe line to good God, have you seen their wedding and party section?!? There is rarely something I don’t want to own. Full Story
The new Top Gun: All I care about is Glen Powell

In my Comic-Con preview, I mentioned that Top Gun was expected to have a “presence” at the convention but was not slated for Hall H. I thought Tom Cruise would do something stunty and Navy-related in San Diego, capitalizing on the nearby Naval base. Full Story
Top Gun: the nostalgia
We are doing two posts on Top Gun today, one from Sarah and one from me. Because it was the other trailer release, along with Cats, that people were freaking out about yesterday on social media. I watched the Top Gun trailer within minutes of it dropping and before I watched Cats. This was a good decision; after watching Cats, I had to go back to Top Gun for a cleanse. Full Story
