What Else Margot Robbie: Military and Mogul Margot Robbie over the last few years has emerged as one of the most successful actor-producers in the game. Barbie, of course, was her big blockbuster, and “Wuthering Heights” just did well earlier this year.

Celebrity Social Media Celebrity Social Media, May 12, 2026 Cool shots of Hailey Bieber for ALAÏA and while she is obviously a model, she doesn’t do a lot of campaigns.

It’s not like there has been a shortage of By MC • May 12, 2026 01:21 pm
Jennifer Garner Five Star Weekend trailer I enjoy Jen Garner as a celebrity, I think she’s figured out her public persona and her niche—dorky mom who happens to be famous—and I find her genuinely wholesome and fun, and I am always thinking less of Ben Affleck for fumbling her.

Stephen Colbert Strike Force for Stephen The final episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will air next Thursday 21 May, not because Stephen wants to get out of late night, but because CBS wants to get deeper into Donald Trump’s a--.

Pedro Pascal Pedro Pascal came through for Todd Haynes Remember last year when Joaquin Phoenix quit a new Todd Haynes film, a period piece queer romance, and screwed over the project and everyone associated with it when they were on the precipice of filming?

Top Reads TNT: A Day in London and the Fictional Predictions Taylor Swift has resurfaced with Travis Kelce in London.

Met Gala 2026 Blake and Barbie 'met' boring again Let me try to avoid landmines and mess in this post, LOL. The fact that I’m pairing Blake Lively and Margot Robbie, though, probably isn’t helping.

Met Gala 2026 Intro for May 5, 2026 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.
