Taylor Swift: Campaigns and Symbols

In celebrity reporting, the phrase “breaks their silence” is overused and often misapplied. They often refer to someone breaking their silence one day after a mega headline/situation. Or use it to describe someone who basically livestreams every day. But in Sandra Bullock’s case right now, everyone talking about

Timothée Chalamet: Duneman and movie concerts

One of the prominent film headlines this week is about Dune: Part 3, opening in four months on December 18, because presales started the other day to see the movie in 70mm and there was so much demand that it crashed ticketing websites. Last summer it was The Odyssey selling

The Sussexes pull a reverse Uno on the UK

We come here for gossip so I don’t want to hear “who cares, they are rich” or “who cares they are royalty” or any of the sort when it comes to Prince Harry and Meghan moving back to the UK. I CARE. The Sussexes are celebrities, the British royals

The Miracle of Céline Dion

The Miracle of Céline Dion

Céline Dion will soon return to the stage – she’s playing 16 shows in Paris through September and October and those tickets sold out so fast she added ten more dates next May. Which is why she’s doing some promotion right now, covering the new issue of Harper’s

Taylor Swift: Bangs and Lilac

When you’re as famous as Taylor Swift, with your own metaverse populated by millions of fans who can at this point self-generate content, every small detail becomes a big headline. She’s also been relatively under-the-radar since the wedding, so it was always going to be

Nicole Kidman at the club

Nicole Kidman at the club

All the magazines are releasing their September issues this week. The reaction that I’ve seen online, in response to American Vogue’s cover story featuring Kaia Gerber and Homer Gere, has been mostly underwhelmed, to put it generously. They are the stars of The Shards, a series with a

Jeremy Strong won’t change

It’s been almost five years since Michael Schulman profiled Jeremy Strong in The New Yorker. We were all still mostly stuck at home during COVID. And that may have had something to do with the chaos that ensued over that piece. The internet devoured it. And that followed him

Even their letters look good together. If ever there was a possible new celebrity couple alert that lived up to the expression “the world is healing”, it would be this: Michael B Jordan and RAYE were seen together at Six Flags in California and while there isn’t official confirmation

Tom and Zendaya’s good timing

In case you forgot, Tom Holland and Zendaya got married secretly. And that’s literally all we know. It’s truly a secret. No one can specify a time or a place, and the only reason we started talking about it is because Law Roach was strategically sent out to

Rocky & Rihanna: Walgreens and Walmart

A$AP Rocky’s interview with Jason Lee was posted yesterday. It’s almost two hours long, I’m still making my way through it, but it’s a great freewheeling conversation about Rocky’s life and upbringing, his career, and his relationships. One part that’s going viral is

MC’s MUSIC LOUNGE: A Melancholy Weekend

It’s been six long years since Phoebe Bridgers last released a full-length studio album, and the result of that wait is a melancholic collection of songs that will have you crying as much as you are vibing. Lost Weekend is an album about grief, but the kind that
