Let’s make it a gay finish to the day – we started it gay with Gillian Anderson and Hannah Einbinder for our site manager Emily and will end it with them too because they went from photo call in the morning to promote Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma

Intro for May 13, 2026

Dear Gossips, The Oscar Academy confirmed yesterday that Conan O’Brien will return to host the Oscars next year, for the third year in a row. And I’m pretty sure nobody is mad about this. This, as people have been saying for years, is a thankless job (that doesn’

The C-drama Invasion

The C-drama Invasion

Earlier this week I posted about the Gold House Gala, celebrating AAPI stories and creatives, that happened in LA last weekend. More and more western media outlets are covering this event, as more and more AAPI talent is being recognised on a global scale, including Billboard – they devoted several posts

The Disney Upfront was yesterday in New York. Upfront season is meant to build anticipation for the next year in television, when the networks and now streamers present to buyers and advertisers their upcoming slate. But Upfront season has also become a stop on the Emmys campaign circuit, since nomination

A Kristen Stewart movie made just for me

The Cannes Film Festival is officially underway, which means a ton of movies, fashion, and news is coming as Cannes includes a film market where movies get sold and deals get made. One such deal is a new film from Panos Cosmatos, the director of Mandy, called Flesh of the

Taylor Swift keeps going out

Today is May 13 and if you believe Us Weekly, that means we’re exactly a month away from Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding, which the magazine claimed with its whole chest would happen in Rhode Island on June 13. Page Six claims it’s the Fourth of

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. But also Saltburn, and My Old Ass (I loved this film), and other projects she

As we saw last week, 50,000 people showed up outside the National Palace in Mexico City to catch a glimpse of BTS on the balcony when President Claudia Sheinbaum welcomed RM, Jin, Suga, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook to the country ahead of their three sold-out shows. Demand for

TNT: A Day in London and the Fictional Predictions

Taylor Swift has resurfaced with Travis Kelce in London. This is happening five weeks before one of her rumoured wedding dates – June 13, because it’s a Saturday and 13 is her favourite number – and eight weeks before her other rumoured wedding date, July 4, because it’s Independence Day

Blake and Barbie 'met' boring again

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. But I have editorial and narrative justification for it, so can we ignore the internet conspiracy theories and just focus on the

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

HudCon to the Met Gala

Exactly a year ago at this time, Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie were in Toronto, having just secured their leading roles in a small Canadian-produced drama with a tiny budget, and no one had ever really heard of them before. Now, a year later, they’re invited to everything, including

Taylor Swift: Song notes and striped dresses

She’s been quiet but there’s been all kinds of Taylor Swift news today – starting with the work. The New York Times just published a feature on The 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters, an unranked list chosen by over “250 music insiders and six New York Times critics”. I

Channing Tatum is going through it

It’s not that I don’t care that Zoë Kravitz and Harry Styles might be engaged, or are probably engaged, since PEOPLE is even reporting it now, but as Maria said in one of her Celebrity Social Media roundups last week, ring-watch is almost too pedestrian for someone as

MC’s MUSIC LOUNGE: Charli Rocks On

Rock never goes out of style. There was a time when every song on the radio was a rock song, but as music tends to do, the genres shifted and more “traditional” rock songs became less frequent on mainstream radio. It’s not like there has been a shortage of

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. Oh, Ben Affleck made
