Style Moms in slips Back in February I posted about the slip dress trend after Jennifer Lopez stepped out in one. As noted at the time, it started in the back half of last year, a throwback to the 90s with Drew Barrymore and Kate Moss, and also the 2000s and the party girls By Lainey • May 12, 2026 02:59 pm
Stephen Colbert Strike Force for Stephen The final episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will air next Thursday 21 May, not because Stephen wants to get out of late night, but because CBS wants to get deeper into Donald Trump’s a--.

What Else Savannah and Wordle Every headline about Savannah Guthrie this year has been horrible. I don’t think I need to explain why. Obviously she and her family will never recover from what happened – on top of the loss of someone so dear, there are so many unanswered questions, so much that may never By Lainey • May 11, 2026 04:39 pm

Demi Moore Demi will serve (and serve) in Cannes The Cannes Film Festival totally snuck up on me. Didn’t even realise it starts tomorrow until I saw these shots of Demi Moore arriving. How is it already Cannes? How is the Met Gala already over? My brain and my body are still back at the week after the By Lainey • May 11, 2026 01:42 pm

Demand for By Lainey • May 11, 2026 12:41 pm
Rihanna Celebrity Mother’s Day Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are still in New York after the Met Gala. I wonder if NYC will be their official home base now since, understandably, they probably don’t want to f-ck around in LA after what happened outside their house. Whatever issues there may or may not By Lainey • May 11, 2026 11:54 am
Bowen Yang Intro for May 11, 2026 Dear Gossips, In the United States, May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. In Canada it’s Asian Heritage Month.

Top Reads TNT: A Day in London and the Fictional Predictions Taylor Swift has resurfaced with Travis Kelce in London.

What Else Baby Elle, but not Baby Elle The first trailer for the Legally Blonde prequel, called Elle, was released yesterday starring Lexi Minetree in the Elle Woods role made famous by Reese Witherspoon.

Timothee Chalamet The Former Marty Supreme As predicted earlier this week, Timothée Chalamet was not at the Met Gala, not only because he’s not a regular there but because between the Met Gala and the Knicks playoff game, there was no doubt where he’d prefer to be. He was courtside for the Knicks game By Lainey • May 07, 2026 11:27 am
Martin Short The Real Marty Supreme It’s so good to see Martin Short, last night at the premiere of his upcoming documentary, Marty, Life is Short, premiering on Netflix next week.

BTS Intro for May 7, 2026 Dear Gossips, BTS will perform the first of three concerts tonight in Mexico City GNP Seguros Stadium and the stop in Mexico felt like a state visit – not hyperbolic.
