Intro for September 16, 2026

Dear Gossips, Can you hear that sound? It’s the sound of a million gossip hounds howling with delight as Tom Cruise gave an interview to GQ, his first cover profile with that magazine in twenty years, and it is a SCREAM. It’s entertaining in the way that only

TIFF Review: Rosalind Eleazar in Misty Green

There is a real theme at TIFF this year of actors giving tremendous central performances only for the film around them to fall flat. Chris Rock’s latest directorial foray, Misty Green, is one such instance. The film, which Rock also wrote, follows down-on-her-luck actress Misty Green

TIFF Review: Josephine is a shattering experience

There are certain films that will stick with you forever, once seen, they can never be forgotten. Beth de Araújo’s Josephine is such a film, an emotionally harrowing cinematic experience that is as tender as it is brutal. Josephine won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance earlier this year,

Sydney Sweeney did it again

Sydney Sweeney and a new ad she stars in are at the centre of a controversy in the world of sports. The ad, which promotes a sports trading app called Novig, features Sydney, who appears completely nude for most of it, save for the coverage of sports gear – footballs, a

TIFF Review: John Malkovich and Sam Rockwell in Wild Horse Nine

Playwright-cum-filmmaker Martin McDonagh is back to challenge everyone’s media literacy with his latest film, Wild Horse Nine. Like his feature film debut, In Bruges, it’s a two-hander centered on bad men contemplating their bad deeds and wondering what is left at the end of it

All the celebrities in NYC

The Emmys were Monday night in Los Angeles, but everyone is in New York City. Verity stars Dakota Johnson and Anne Hathaway were both out and about in the big apple yesterday; I wonder if they’re doing advance press for Verity? That press tour has to be starting soon,

Shailene Woodley - Stirring the Algorithmic Pot?

And now, a conspiracy theory. You may join me in my speculation or you may dismiss my delusion – either is acceptable. Suppose you’re Shailene Woodley, and things are going, honestly, really well. You continue to be an acclaimed actress, and your recurring role on Season 2 of the extremely

Learning from Céline

Learning from Céline

At some point on Friday or Saturday, during the chaos of TIFF and running from interview to interview and prepping in between, I saw an article pop up on my feed about Céline Dion, ahead of her first show in Paris…something something about how she would require a backing

Chris Rock is no longer hosting

As Sarah wrote earlier today, Lance Oppenheim and Nathan Fielder’s You Can See Everything, the documentary about Elizabeth Holmes, bulldozed its way into the festival conversation by surprise, taking the wind a bit out of Venice and claiming the spotlight for Telluride. Award season is taking shape now after

Jennifer Aniston: Someone who speaks her love language

As Jennifer Aniston has said many times, we’ve had a front row seat to her love life for the last 30 years. Not because she’s personally invited us to the show, at least not all of the time, but she’s not lying about the fact that we

Olivia Rodrigo made some real girl power history over the weekend at the inaugural Daisy Chain Fields festival in Irvine. It’s her answer to the legacy of Lilith Fair that Sarah McLachlan founded back in the 90s. More than 45,000 fans gathered together to celebrate female empowerment, through

Lainey's Best Dressed - Claire Danes as Juliet in 2026

My first view of Claire Danes on the Emmys red carpet last night was from the side. Kinda like this photo below, except she was moving, it wasn’t a still shot… and immediately, with the shape of that shoulder, which I didn’t know at the time was just

Duana’s Best Dressed – Chase Infiniti

If I’m honest with myself, I never stood a chance. There are always a few dresses, right when a carpet begins, that make you despair for any fashion to come. They’re usually not really that bad, of course, only pedestrian; the kind of looks worn by people who

Sarah’s Best Dressed – Julianna Margulies

I was not blown away by the fashion at the Emmys—the sheer amount of satin is a recession indicator—aside from an obvious style star like Zendaya. But then Julianna Margulies came out to present Michael J. Fox with the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award, and I sat up a

Buffy And Angel In The Hollywood Hellmouth
