Bennifer in their Leo seasons

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were photographed yesterday, leaving from the same office building in Beverly Hills, so of course, we must now speculate on whether or not they ran into each other. I hope not! It’s the final days of Leo season, after all, and JLo is a

Intro for August 21, 2026

Dear Gossips, Earlier this week, Maria wrote about Gwyneth Paltrow’s private dinner for OpenAI CEO Sam Altman at her Hamptons home. That event was “off the record”, which seemed like a weird phrase for a summer dinner party, even one hosted by a contentious celebrity for a contentious CEO.

Austin Butler’s new co-star

Joseph Kosinki’s Miami Vice ’85 is one of my most anticipated movies, like it can’t come soon enough…but it’s not coming soon at all. Originally, they had it slotted for August 2027, so just a year away. But they’ve moved it to May 2028, which

What Else

RAYE repeats her promise

RAYE will be joining Bruno Mars on tour starting tomorrow in New Jersey at MetLife Stadium. While in the New York area, she was on TODAY this morning for an interview and a five-song performance. It should be illegal to sound this good in the morning and be so

Taylor Swift: Campaigns and Symbols

Something might be happening to do with Taylor Swift – which is basically every day for her fans who are constantly chasing clues. But it’s been popping up on social media since at least this morning which is when I saw it… A green symbol, seemingly her initials, showing up

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

Yesterday, an invite leaked for a dinner Goop is hosting for OpenAI (aka ChatGPT) founder Sam Altman. I’ve tried to trace who broke the story, the first published story I could find was on Puck News. The dinner is off-the-record (wink wink) and al fresco, which is

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

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

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
