Ben Affleck Netflix advertises the movies it doesn’t support Netflix’s annual fan event, Tudum, occurred over the weekend. It’s their effort to create an in-house marketing machine/hype event a la Disney’s D23, and it’s sort of working. Certainly, there were people who showed up in person and shrieked at celebrities standing on a stage. By Sarah • Jun 02, 2025 11:20 am
Books Jeremy Renner saw the light Jeremy Renner is currently on press tour for his book, My Next Breath, and if you’re familiar with the terrible accident he was in a couple of years ago, the title should make sense. He almost died – and he believes he actually did die for a brief moment. Us By Lainey • Apr 30, 2025 04:07 pm
Jeremy Renner Intro for December 2, 2024 Dear Gossips, In all the time we’ve been doing this website which, crazily, is over 20 years now, I can’t remember ever posting about the Hollywood Christmas Parade, even though the tradition itself has been happening for 92 years. This year’s event was yesterday and scrolling through By Lainey • Dec 02, 2024 09:17 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Expanding the Knives Out 3 fantasy cast Knives Out 3, officially titled Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, continues casting apace. On top of recent additions Andrew Scott, Josh O’Connor, and Cailee Spaeny, Glenn Close has joined the cast—will she play a patrician matriarch or a kook?—as have Jeremy Renner and Mila By Sarah • May 31, 2024 01:50 pm
TV Updates Hawkeye is the low stakes hangout Marvel needs Hawkeye wrapped up yesterday, and it ended as it began—fun, light, not super invested in the larger lore of the MCU. Sure, we have a new Hawkeye in Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld), and Maya Lopez (Alaqua Cox) is off to reinvent herself as something more like a hero, and By Sarah • Dec 23, 2021 11:09 am
TV Live Blog Hawkeye easy, breezy Marvel fun Marvel Studios’ foray into television has yielded some highs (the Emmy-lauded WandaVision and wildly confident Loki) and some lows (the pedestrian bordering on boring The Falcon and the Winter Soldier). With Hawkeye, Marvel seems to have found their footing at last—you can practically feel them learning on the job By Sarah • Dec 03, 2021 01:00 pm
TV Updates Hawkeye’s branding problem One of the smoother aspects of Disney+ Day was the new Hawkeye clip, probably because it came via Good Morning America and live television demands a certain amount of—maybe not “polish”, because anything can and will go wrong at any moment, but certainly—preparation. So Jeremy Renner popped up By Sarah • Nov 15, 2021 02:53 pm
TV Updates Jeremy Renner flashback Jeremy Renner always knows just when the world needs him, whether it’s bringing us mediocre dad rock during a pandemic, or revolutionizing social media with the Jeremy Renner app. Now, however, Jeremy Renner is bringing us something I almost forgot he had in his repertoire—decent acting. He has By Sarah • Oct 29, 2021 01:42 pm
TV Updates Where has THIS Hawkeye been? One of my eternal disappointments with the MCU is how Clint Barton turned out. I am a HUGE fan of Hawkeye in the comics, and despite a pitch-perfect appearance in Thor way back in 2011, the Clint we ended up with in the movies is the most boring, least fun By Sarah • Sep 13, 2021 02:03 pm
TV Updates Alaqua Cox on set Filming for Hawkeye is under way in Georgia, bringing us our first clear shots of Alaqua Cox on set as Maya Lopez, aka Echo. (Interestingly, there was an industry-wide outcry in 2019 when the Georgia state legislature attempted to severely restrict reproductive rights, but in the wake of Georgia’s By Sarah • Apr 09, 2021 12:41 pm
Equality Issues Hawkeye brings Echo, a deaf Native superhero, to the MCU As we previously discussed, the real reason to care about the Hawkeye-centric Disney+ series is not because of Jeremy Renner, but because of Kate Bishop. Now we have another reason to mildly anticipate Hawkeye, and it’s still not because of Jeremy Renner, but because of actress Alaqua Cox, a By Sarah • Dec 04, 2020 01:47 pm
TV Updates Hailee Steinfeld is the good Hawkeye One of my biggest disappointments with the MCU is Hawkeye. It started out promising—back in 2010, Jeremy Renner was one of the new rising stars, hot off The Hurt Locker, and his cameo in Thor seemed to nail the tone of the wise-cracking ace archer, Clint Barton. But then By Sarah • Dec 03, 2020 10:23 am
Music Jeremy Renner is here to save us Just last Friday, Lainey wondered if Jeremy Renner would release a new song since he’s claiming in court the corona crash is affecting his ability to make child support payments. WELL GUESS WHAT? Jeremy Renner has, indeed, released a new song; in fact, he has released a whole new By Sarah • Mar 30, 2020 01:09 pm
Break Ups Could Marvel dump Jeremy Renner? Jeremy Renner has had A Year. It started with rumors of a romance with Lady Gaga—which did not materialize, but I would like to visit the alternate universe where Jeremy Renner/Lady Gaga and Brad Pitt/Charlize Theron happened—and then he released his completely mediocre karaoke album, and By Sarah • Oct 28, 2019 11:40 am
Celebrity Social Media Celebrity Social Media, Renner Edition - September 5, 2019 Usually this space is reserved for a light dissection of celebrity social media activity. But we cannot ignore the current of anguish, confusion, disbelief, heartache... and more confusion ... that has overtaken social media.

Relationship Assumption Lady Gaga’s new boyfriend PEOPLE acquired and posted the exclusive photos yesterday of Lady Gaga kissing her new boyfriend, Dan Horton, a sound engineer. There’s no doubt that this is romantic, these kisses are romantic. And also… it’s not like they were hiding. They were out for lunch, not inside but outside. By Lainey • Jul 31, 2019 03:51 pm
