Jennifer Aniston’s yacht anniversary

It was just over a year ago that Jennifer Aniston’s love life was a headline again – and actually factually this time. She and her friends, including Jason and Amanda Bateman, were on a yacht holiday in Mallorca, and Jim Curtis, the hypnotist, was seen with them, which is when

Intro for August 4, 2026

Dear Gossips, I’m usually the one to bring new music into the house. Once every ten years, though, my husband Jacek will find an artist or a song before I do – and it almost always happens through videos games. Nowadays he only plays one, consistently, year after year: EA

Christopher Nolan

The Odyssey: When in Korea

Christopher Nolan’s films are popular in Korea. For example, back in 2014, Interstellar was seen by “over 7 million of 50 million Koreans” with a box office of over $50 million alone in the country. When you factor in Dunkirk, Tenet, and Oppenheimer, Nolan has brought in over “36

Bradley and Gigi: Matching rings, matching everything

Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid have been in Paris together the last few days. And quite visible, as the paps have photographed them several times walking around together, including when they were walking back from the gym, with matching water bottles… and also rings. Rings on the gossip finger, which

Alexander Skarsgård is the OTHER wicker man

Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgård are two actors I enjoy immensely, so I am delighted that they’re co-starring in a twisted romantic comedy/fantasy film, Wicker. It premiered at Sundance earlier this year and is due in theaters in October, a sort of spooky season rom-com about

Tomdaya: at home at last?

My bad, I was wrong, I’m the problem… when I said that the LA premiere of Spider-Man: Brand New Day would be the last because I actually thought they were already in London, and they were, but for The Odyssey, three weeks ago. There have been so many

The Recording Academy introduced several new Grammy categories last month – among them the Best Asian Pop Music Performance award, better known as the BTS Grammy. Let’s not pretend that the award wasn’t created for BTS, because as I wrote at the time, even in the description of the

Marvel bounces back with good news

Marvel’s Hall H presentation happened Saturday night, and though Kevin Feige was focused on the future of the MCU, it felt like a blast from the past, with stunts and a huge assemblage of famous people to promote upcoming films. Kayleigh Donaldson called it a “recession indicator” in the

Katie Holmes and not Joshua Jackson

Fourteen years ago this summer, the scandal that had the gossip ecosystem in a chokehold was the Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise divorce. It was a bombshell – not just on the public but, reportedly, on him too, because she exited herself out of his life with the stealth of a

Travis Scott’s Odyssean ambitions

Travis Scott’s Odyssean ambitions

There are so many storylines related to Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey – within the film itself and orbiting the film if you expand the conversation to include its cast, and the gossip, whether it’s about the box office or Tomdaya or award season chances. Probably not surprising given the

Tom Holland on his wife and his tenure

Before we get to the ooey gooey, let’s talk about where Tom Holland is right now, metaphorically. As Telemachus in The Odyssey, he’s just given the best we’ve seen of his career so far. Which means I vehemently disagree with Variety’s cast and character ranking of

Earlier this week, I posted about Christopher Nolan’s popularity in China. Even though his films often feature an ensemble of A-listers, including The Odyssey, for a large segment of the Chinese audience, he’s the actual superstar. Which is why almost all IMAX screens in China will be

Tom Holland in Spider-Man: Brand New Day

Even as Marvel has struggled with the unwieldy MCU post Avengers: Endgame, one remaining bright spot are the Spider-Man films fronted by Tom Holland. In 2021, Spider-Man: No Way Home saddled Peter Parker with almost unbearable circumstances, to sacrifice not his life but his heart, by allowing the
