Dear Gossips,

Was I the only one who didn’t freak out over the new The Hobbit trailer that was released yesterday? It’s an awesome trailer. A really, really, REALLY great trailer. It’s just...

I’m missing a good taste gene, I think, when it comes to Tolkien movies. It’s not that I hate them, I’m just not evangelical about it. They’re so...

Long.

See? Now all my other opinions don’t matter. If you can’t get down with LOTR, all your other thoughts are immediately devalued.

Heading to Toronto today to spend Christmas with my ma with 10 lbs of pork jerky and pork floss (from Bee Kim Heng, seriously the best in the world) packed away in my luggage. You all do it with turkey. My people, we’re about the pig. Suckling pig on Christmas Eve.

Thanks for sending in your votes for the Best Gingerbread House. The winner will be announced later today.

Yours in gossip,

Lainey
