Celine’s joy

I have declared it Friday Funday and we will go out on a high note! A very long, sustained high note with crystalline tone and richest vibrato! A high note as only Celine Dion can deliver it! La Diva! I am enjoying this era of Celine so much. Her joy

Intro for September 18, 2026

Dear Gossips, I could write about the latest billionaire shenanigans threatening Hollywood (read here and here if you want), but you know what? It’s Friday. It’s my first few days back in the office after the respite of TIFF—as crazy as TIFF is, it’s better than

TIFF Review: Our Lady Peace honors fans with Gail

Band documentaries can be as insipid as band biopics, glossy and polished and cutting away all the rough spots in favor of presenting a favorable, often self-aggrandizing view of the musicians. Not so in Gail, a documentary that is, ostensibly, about the 30th anniversary tour of Canadian rock band

Mary Cosby brings grace and catharsis to the Bravoverse

When cameras picked back up for the latest season of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, which premiered this week, producers had their work cut out for them. The audience wondered how the show would dive in to the unfinished business between the castmates and all that has transpired since

TIFF Review: Anna Biller’s The Face of Horror

Anna Biller’s 2016 film The Love Witch has ascended to cult status over the last decade, and now she is back with a new, extremely aesthetic film, this time set in medieval England and done in the style of Technicolor schlock horror (think of all those Edgar Allen Poe

Sienna Miller is at WAR

Never heard about this series until yesterday but now that I know, I’m in. Also, it’s HBO Max, and George Kay (Lupin etc) is the showrunner so it’s giving prestige…but with a healthy amount of trash. And it should be a little trashy considering the subject

Hudson Williams at TIFF

TIFF has a television section called “Primetime” (I will keep my opinion about TV shows playing at film festivals to myself but I will also mention that television festivals DO exist), and the highlight of this year’s Primetime program is Yaga, the Crave series starring Carrie-Anne Moss, Noah

Tom Cruise: Greatest stunt choreo incoming

Tom Cruise: Greatest stunt choreo incoming

As Sarah wrote in yesterday’s site open, Tom Cruise’s greatest role is that of “Tom Cruise”. She is right in saying that his GQ cover story, both in print and on video, is for all the gossip hounds. Pretty sure we’re all still screaming about it. Tom,

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

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

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

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

TIFF Review: Mahershala Ali in Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother

Mahershala Ali and filmmaker Bassam Tariq were supposed to make a Blade reboot for Marvel, but that project eventually fell apart. What emerges instead is Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother, an original action-drama starring Ali and written and directed by Tariq. It is unquestionably a far better movie

Most of us probably agree that the September 2026 issue of American Vogue was a flop, right? The cover stars were Kaia Gerber and Homer Gere to promote The Shards – and this isn’t a personal criticism, not directed towards their performances, not a judgement about them as actors or

TIFF Review: Andrew Scott in Elsinore

Andrew Scott is a very fine actor, no one doubts this. He has in Elsinore, a quasi-biopic of Scottish actor Ian Charleson, what should be the role of a lifetime. Certainly, Scott pours his heart and talent into his performance, but the film around him is so unimaginative and
