Margot Robbie Gossip

James Gunn’s not-a-reboot-but-not-really-a-sequel-either Suicide Squad movie is filming in Panama, which means set photos are emerging that show characters old and new suited up for their do-over. There are blurry shots of Margot Robbie sporting a new look as Harley Quinn, and she is joined by David Dastmalchian as Polka-Dot Man, Daniela Melchior as Ratcatcher, Steve Agee in a mo-cap get-up for King Shark, and Idris Elba suited up as a mysterious character. Full Story

There’s nothing wrong, really, with Margot Robbie’s Oscar 2020 dress. It’s fine. It’s black. It’s strapless. There’s chiffon wrapped around her forearms leaving a trail down the length of her body. And I suppose that’s a pretty-ish effect, but also not really all that special?  And that’s been the great mystery (at least to me) about her partnership with Chanel. Full Story

Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) is juggling a lot. It’s a sequel/spin-off hybrid of Suicide Squad, a movie it does not drop-kick out an open window but one it does have to push off stage and make the audience forget. It’s a reimagining of Harley Quinn and an introduction to the Birds of Prey, and it has to work as part of a larger whole but also stand on its own. Full Story

It’s Oscar week in Hollywood which means parties every night starting tonight for the next few days. Even those who aren’t nominated or invited to present show up in LA for Oscar week – a lot of work happens at the cocktails, the private dinners to celebrate production companies/studios, the fundraisers, and this is when and where many actors and writers and executives etc start to line up future projects. Full Story

At the start of this award season, no one would have predicted that it would be Brad Pitt coming through with the best speeches, but here we are now as week after week, on his way to his first acting Oscar, which he will 100% win next Sunday for his performance in Once Upon a Time in…Hollywood, he’s the one who’s killing it up at the podium, even when he’s not actually at the podium. Full Story

Margot Robbie is having a busy winter. She’s in the middle of award season as an Oscar nominee, and she has Birds of Prey opening on February 7, which is Oscar weekend. Over the next few weeks she’ll be splitting her time between nominee appearances and Birds of Prey press, which, as a person who doesn’t like going places or doing things, sounds like a nightmare. Full Story

The first trailer for Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) was very promising. The second trailer has now arrived, and Birds of Prey still looks awesome. Full Story

All right… let’s do this.  I even cracked my knuckles in anticipation.  Webster’s Dictionary defines ‘best dressed’ as…  Yeah, yeah, okay. Tired joke. But, knowing that I was gonna choose this look, and also knowing how many people already hate it, I wanted to actually try to do a bit of homework-slash-introspection, and figure out why I thought this was the best dressed of the night. Full Story

Bombshell tells the story of Roger Ailes’ ouster at Fox News amid a sexual harassment scandal. In hindsight, it’s a proto-#MeToo story about a predator felled when enough people listened to enough women recount horror stories of harassment and abuse, and it happened at one of the most insular media companies in America. Full Story

The cast of Bombshell, Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, and Margot Robbie, attended a special screening for the film last night in LA, just before the Screen Actors Guild nominations this morning. Bombshell came up big, with all three women earning nominations – Charlize in the leading category and both Nicole and Margot in supporting. Full Story

Last week at LaineyGossip, we played “Leave Room For” in the Oscar race. Sarah wrote that award season has to leave room for 1917 and in my post about leaving room for Queen & Slim, I mentioned that we also have to leave room for Bombshell Full Story
