Award Season Campaigning Intro for January 7, 2026 Dear Gossips, Even though Timothée Chalamet was the Critics Choice for best actor the other night, prognosticators don’t seem convinced that he’s the favourite for the Oscar. As Sarah noted in her post about Timmy’s win, the Academy has been reluctant to award younger actors in this By Lainey • Jan 07, 2026 09:40 am
Style The Actresses and the fashion houses at the Gothams As we saw with every other acting category, almost every actress in contention for the five best actress Oscar nominations was in attendance at the Gothams last night. Because it’s looking pretty competitive between several of them for what’s most likely the two final spots. Chase Infiniti, the By Lainey • Dec 02, 2025 02:26 pm
Award Season Campaigning Intro for November 13, 2025 Dear Gossips, Dolly Parton covers the new issue of PEOPLE Magazine, just revealed yesterday. It’s great to see her, always, but especially now since she’s had some health issues recently, and then her sister went rogue and scared everyone into thinking it was worse than it was.

Gorgessity Best Actresses Wickedly Quiet The Academy Museum Gala happened over the weekend. This is a major event on the awards circuit calendar because it’s literally the Oscar Academy fundraising for their museum and so a huge draw for those in contention to get in front of voters and campaign. And it’s especially By Lainey • Oct 20, 2025 03:00 pm
Baby and Bump Obsession Rihanna and Rocky: Anniversaries and Film Festivals I know she doesn’t do it on purpose but it really is thoughtful how Rihanna maintains her schedule while she’s pregnant and consistently steps out every few days or so with an unintended but appreciated update. She and Rocky were running errands in LA yesterday and had RZA By Lainey • Sep 03, 2025 11:17 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Starry Sundance It was a star-studded opening weekend for the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, maybe the most star-studded since the pandemic. A slew of weekend premieres and parties brought out the likes of Benedict Cumberbatch, Lily Gladstone, Carey Mulligan, Chloe Sevigny, and Joel Edgerton (who is already getting trophy By Sarah • Jan 27, 2025 02:28 pm
TV Updates Physical is back to annihilate us Physical is one of the best shows of 2021, but it’s also one of the darkest and bleakest things put on television under the banner of “comedy” in recent memory. The White Lotus and Severance and even Barry have their moments, but they also have enough laugh out loud By Sarah • May 13, 2022 11:31 am
TV Updates Physical gave us misery and LEWKS Physical, the dark half-hour comedy-drama starring Rose Byrne wrapped up last week. The show is a tough watch, no doubt, that brings up a lot of feelings about body positivity and diet/workout culture, but the season ended strong, with Sheila (Byrne) tasting her first success as an aerobics instructor By Sarah • Aug 11, 2021 11:35 am
TV Updates Are we really more body positive now than we were then? Warning for discussion of disordered eating/self-harm There are myriad reasons Physical is a tough watch, but the thing I keep coming back to the most is the relationship between Sheila (Rose Byrne) and Greta (Dierdre Friel). Their dynamic reminds me of a friendship in my past. From the outside, By Sarah • Jun 23, 2021 03:13 pm
TV Updates Rose Byrne in Physical Warning for discussion of eating disorders/bulimia and self-harm Physical, the new Apple TV+ series starring Rose Byrne as an aerobics guru, is about as anti-nostalgic as a period piece can be (as someone born in the 1980s, it crushes my soul that this now qualifies as “period piece”). It’ By Sarah • Jun 22, 2021 11:56 am
TV Updates Mean Rose Byrne is real! When we first glimpsed the upcoming Apple TV+ series Physical, I wondered if the acidic, mean version of Rose Byrne’s character was somehow a product of her imagination, a bored, frustrated housewife projecting herself into the glamorous world of celebrity aerobics. No! Apparently not! A full trailer for Physical By Sarah • May 28, 2021 10:12 am
TV Updates Rose Byrne gets Physical Rose Byrne is a deeply underappreciated actor, and few things make me happier than seeing a deeply underappreciated actor get a great leading role, Physical is right up my alley. It’s a new series coming to Apple TV+ this June starring Byrne as a 1980s housewife who discovers aerobics By Sarah • Apr 28, 2021 10:26 am
Style Rose and Matt’s beachwear Rose Byrne was photographed on the beach in Byron Bay, Australia this week and I really love her swimwear. The pattern is super cute and I like that the cut of the bikini top is more like a sports bra. Mostly though, it’s the high-waist full bottom that I’ By Lainey • Aug 13, 2020 12:52 pm
TV Updates THR’s TV Drama Actresses Roundtable 2020 Voting for this year’s Emmy nominees starts July 2nd and that means the stars are (virtually) out campaigning.

Style Like Three Bosses I wish I was the one to have thought of putting Tiffany Haddish and Rose Byrne together in a movie. It’s the kind of “of course!” connection that the moment you see them, you’re like… OF COURSE. Obviously. This is exactly what we needed. Tiffany, obviously, is hilarious.

Maple Leaf Finally, Rose Byrne and Bobby Cannavale get the J-Rod treatment! We talk often about great cutaways in awards show history, and yada yada Taylor Swift dancing, but one that often goes overlooked involves my favourite celebrity couple, Bobby Cannavale and Rose Byrne. When Bobby was accepting his Emmy for Boardwalk Empire in 2013, he gave an endearingly rambly list of By Joanna • Dec 06, 2019 12:22 pm
