Intro for February 12, 2026

Dear Gossips, Today in “please make it stop” news, an AI-generated video went viral this week featuring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt fighting on a rooftop over Jeffrey Epstein, prompting warnings from Hollywood creatives that this will jeopardise opportunities for actual human beings. I know that’s the most pressing

James Van Der Beek: A Different Kind of Icon

There are so many reasons to feel sad about James Van Der Beek passing away at just 48 years old. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you – beloved actor, father of six, icon of a generation, yet was selling memorabilia to stay afloat financially – all just contribute

Kylie Kelce vs Dwyane Wade

This a fun, low stakes one-sided celebrity beef that I hope we can all be normal about. And it’s not really a beef, but it brings up an interesting kind of etiquette conversation, which is what gossip can do, and why it says more about us than the people

Movie Reviews and Previews

Yearning and gloop in “Wuthering Heights”

Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of “Wuthering Heights” (“based” on the “novel” by “Emily Brontë”) is not a faithful adaptation of that novel; it’s full of deliberately anachronistic choices, and it has a very specific style palette that you will either love or hate. These are just facts. At a

Cardi has other priorities

Cardi B kicked off her Little Miss Drama tour last night in Palm Desert, just three days after she was at the Benito Bowl, seen hanging out in La Casita during Bad Bunny’s performance. Since then, though, there’s been all kinds of speculation about the status of her

New Gossip Genie?

New Gossip Genie?

Michael B Jordan is enjoying the experience of his first Oscar nomination this award season for his performance as both Smoke and Stack in Sinners. It’s still shocking to me that he’s not one of the frontrunners – because, like, it’s a towering achievement, two towering achievements, actually.

American Cinematheque this week is running a Timothée Chalamet Retrospective, which is wild to me, LOL. He’s 30 years old, like freshly 30. Their rationale, however, is that he has four Oscar nominations, to date, and if you consider that of the eight films that are screening during this

The Beckham sideshow is in full swing

Since Brooklyn Beckham decided to tell his parents to kick rocks earlier this week, there’s been no official or even unofficial statement from all the other family members. Nicola Peltz-Beckham hasn’t posted, Victoria and David haven’t (obviously) and neither have Cruz or Romeo, not even “subtly.” It
