Emmy Awards 2026 Duana’s Best Dressed – Chase Infiniti If I’m honest with myself, I never stood a chance. There are always a few dresses, right when a carpet begins, that make you despair for any fashion to come. They’re usually not really that bad, of course, only pedestrian; the kind of looks worn by people who By Duana • Sep 15, 2026 12:44 pm
Emmy Awards 2026 Shailene Woodley - Stirring the Algorithmic Pot? And now, a conspiracy theory. You may join me in my speculation or you may dismiss my delusion – either is acceptable. Suppose you’re Shailene Woodley, and things are going, honestly, really well. You continue to be an acclaimed actress, and your recurring role on Season 2 of the extremely By Duana • Sep 15, 2026 10:50 am
Emmy Awards 2026 Buffy And Angel In The Hollywood Hellmouth I would love to have been around for the pitch meetings where producers were discussing hypothetical presenters. It’s late June, early July maybe – plans are still relatively casual and not in full panic mode just yet, but someone complains “It’s going to be the same old same old By Duana • Sep 15, 2026 09:26 am
Emmy Awards 2026 Jean Smart Made Sure We Got Hacked The beautiful thing about Hacks is that over five seasons, it knew what it was and stayed what it was. It began as a two-hander starring two very unsentimental broads and stayed a two-hander betwe– okay, well, hang on. (tap to view stories) Yes, Hacks is, and was By Duana • Sep 15, 2026 08:10 am
Emmy Awards 2026 Intro for September 15, 2026 Dear Gossips, The 78th Emmys were tight, if not sharp, with an overwhelming story of triumph for freshman comedy-thriller Widow’s Bay. Star Matthew Rhys had a historic double win for acting in two categories, a surprise that made the Widow’s Bay sweep all the sweeter. …or did By Duana • Sep 15, 2026 06:27 am
What Else There’s Something About Them… …our job today, and of course, tonight, is to figure out what it is. Obviously that headline is imperfect and if I were doing the homage to There’s Something About Mary properly, it would read ‘There’s Something about Keri.’ But – even though Keri Russell has had an incredible By Duana • Sep 14, 2026 04:04 pm
Emma Stone Emma Stone’s Professional Personal Relationship There are pictures over the weekend of Emma Stone and Chris Pine shooting The Catch, an upcoming feature directed by her husband, Dave McCary.

TIFF 2026 coverage Intro for September 14, 2026 Dear Gossips, It’s been another incredibly busy weekend at TIFF, and I’m delighted to say I was able to be out in it this year for the first time in a long time. As exciting as it is to have the festival in our city, the irony is By Duana • Sep 14, 2026 09:56 am
What Else Saoirse In Venice Brings Out the Soapbox In Me I can plead ignorance or busyness as much as anyone else, but honestly when I read that Saoirse Ronan was at the Venice Film Festival for Orrizonti, I assumed it was an Italian film and went on to obsess over her outfit. But as usual with Saoirse, the truth is By Duana • Sep 11, 2026 04:01 pm
Constance Zimmer The Wrap celebrates the Emmys All the love here over the past couple of days has been wonderful, but wondering how much goodwill I’m going to burn if I lean into my word-based curmudgeonism? Because I love that The Wrap did an Emmy Season event. View this post on Instagram A post shared By Duana • Sep 11, 2026 02:19 pm
Julia Roberts Julia Roberts Always Commits Lainey and I have lots and lots in common – both as people and in our pop culture interests. But arguably what makes us both better are the parts that belong to only one of us, like musical theatre or the K-pop oeuvre. We learn by osmosis from each other, By Duana • Sep 11, 2026 12:00 pm
Theatre Nerd Intro for September 11, 2026 Dear Gossips, You know how things sometimes (not always) happen for a reason? I had a ball yesterday editing the site, cosplaying Lainey and/or Sarah, guided by the capable (Emily) and patient (lol, Jacek) artists behind the scenes, and scanning the pop culture landscape as a whole, as much By Duana • Sep 11, 2026 10:17 am
What Else High School Girls Are Complex Again, Huzzah I didn’t know Prime was remaking Carrie as a miniseries. That is, maybe I read a headline about it somewhere or other, but first of all, we all know a headline like ‘Amazon Prime to adapt Stephen King’s Carrie’ happens five times a day. Sometimes, something awesome comes By Duana • Sep 10, 2026 04:09 pm
Anne Hathaway Anne Hathaway Raises Questions At Bvlgari New York and Toronto don’t always have similar weather. But last night in Toronto was particularly gorgeous – one of those balmy, breezy nights that feels almost tropical and laughs in the face of ever needing a jacket. It was amazing and felt like you would have the energy to By Duana • Sep 10, 2026 01:43 pm
Jimmy Kimmel Jimmy Kimmel’s Huge Week Isn’t Even Over I think we’ve all known that since his brief suspension last year and this spring’s Strike Force Five reunion in support of Stephen Colbert, and just… life in general, that Jimmy Kimmel was going to face down any kind of opposition with relish and zeal and absolute banger By Duana • Sep 10, 2026 11:58 am
Maple Leaf Intro for September 10, 2026 Dear Gossips, Last night was the eTalk TIFF kickoff party, celebrating the 25th season. I arrived pretty late, as in, I missed Sarah altogether and only briefly got to see Jacek in *party attire* – but the feeling in the room was, incredibly, almost the same as it was back in By Duana • Sep 10, 2026 09:57 am
