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

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

Alexander Skarsgård is the OTHER wicker man
