Intro for February 23, 2026

Dear Gossips, Prince William and Kate were in a couple’s outfit last night at the BAFTAs. He showed up in an oxblood velvet jacket while she was in a pink Gucci (that she’s worn before in 2019) with a velvet belt and clutch to match her husband. At

JLo: Coconuts and the current dress trend

Jennifer Lopez’s kids, Max and Emme, turned 18 yesterday, another reminder that time is the ultimate troll. Howwww are they 18 already?! I’m still back in 2007 when she announced she was pregnant. Up to that point there were rumours for weeks about it, she and Marc Anthony

Reckoning with America’s Next Top Model

One week after its release, reaction is still pouring in online about Reality Check: America’s Next Top Model, which, as I wrote about here, finally got the Netflix treatment in the form of a three-part documentary. And while it was initially teased as an in-depth look into the infamous

The State of the Supporting Races

As Sarah just mentioned in her posts about the BAFTAs, while One Battle After Another and Jessie Buckley are the clearly heavyweight favourites in the best picture and best actress races, the three other acting categories are much more unpredictable at this point where Oscar is concerned.

The BAFTAs bring surprises and controversy

I bet the Brits would love a day off from controversy, but that is not in god’s plan, apparently. The BAFTAs delivered controversy last night in two different ways. First, let’s talk about the lead acting categories, the site of a major upset (if you don’t pay

With the BAFTAs last night, we are now entering the meat of awards season. The Oscars are T-minus three weeks away, and we’re finally hearing from people who will get to vote for the Academy Awards. The BAFTAs and the Academy share membership overlap, so the BAFTAs, while a

So, I know I was like, it’s too early to talk about Oscars for this year until we get through last year—Emily, the site manager, has already emailed me once about the language confusion of the award season time-warp and I wonder if she will again—but another

Toy Story 5 is going to make us contemplate aging

Last year was dogsh-t at the box office, but one of the bright spots was Zootopia 2, Disney’s in-house authorized furry fanfic, which became Hollywood’s biggest animated film of all time—a necessary distinction as Ne Zha 2 is still reigning biggest animated film, period. Even when the

Since Brooklyn Beckham decided to tell his parents to kick rocks earlier this week, there’s been no official or even unofficial statement from all the other family members.
