Movie Reviews and Previews Melissa McCarthy’s Ironic Oscar Nom Maybe the title above isn’t fair. Melissa McCarthy got an Oscar Best Actress nomination for playing Lee Israel, an irascible crank in her 50s who pulled off an incredible scam, and Can You Ever Forgive Me is completely worth your time. The nomination is completely deserved and also kind By Duana • Jan 22, 2019 01:14 pm

Lifestyle Duana Names: Let’s Actually Do This Dear Duana, I'm a huge fan of your column but, having no kiddos or pets, wondered if I'd ever get to ask you a naming question. Well, Duana, the time has come: after 8+ years of marriage, my husband and I have bought our first two By Duana • Jan 14, 2019 04:29 pm
TV Updates Connie Britton’s Bad Blind Dates!? We live in a time where revealing truths horrify us daily, so I’m just going to lay it on the line: Sometimes Canadians have to do some shady sh-t to watch what we need to see. And we don’t need any judgment about it, okay? See, Handmaid’s By Duana • Jan 14, 2019 03:43 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Elsie Fisher’s Gloriously Awkward Speech What’s my cardinal awards show rule? The one I carp about at least once every show? “If we’re watching you at a big glamorous party, look like you’re having fun.” I stand by it, too. Almost unimpeachable. Leave it to Elsie Fisher to break my rule and By Duana • Jan 14, 2019 03:19 pm
Lifestyle Duana Names: Who’s Wrong And How Much? Hey Duana! We are due January with our first, and will be our only, baby. We are expecting a baby girl. While my husband either prefers 80’s names (Jennifer, Monica) or 50’s names (think Sandra and Sally), I lean towards more unique and original less common names which By Duana • Jan 11, 2019 04:58 pm
Lifestyle Duana Names: Back To The Drawing Board Hi Duana, Big time fan, 1st time writing in. My question; who is Margot's sibling? I had my first child, Margot, May 2017.

Style Michelle Yeoh: Globes Best Dressed (Duana) As Sandra Oh pointed out, this year’s Golden Globes – while still overwhelmingly Caucasian – had exponentially more Asian representation than ever before, due in part to the cast of Crazy Rich Asians, who really didn’t get enough play, but came out hard in the fashion game nonetheless. I could By Duana • Jan 07, 2019 01:34 pm
Bad Style Emily Blunt: Globes Worst Dressed (Duana) Look, can we not have this get ugly? I’m sorry, okay?! I was nervous enough writing that name at the top of the page – I like Emily Blunt, I think she’s selling the hell out of Mary Poppins Returns, and this dress on someone else might have been By Duana • Jan 07, 2019 11:30 am
Golden Globes 2019 Julia Roberts at the Globes – Chicken or Egg? I’m a Julia Roberts stan. I don’t have anything to hide. One of the saddest moments this fall was realizing she’d had her birthday and I couldn’t pretend to be Oprah interviewing her all “Julia is FIFTYYYYYY” anymore. I take immense pleasure in everything she does By Duana • Jan 07, 2019 08:47 am
Golden Globes 2019 Charlize & Nicole’s Awards Show Sisterhood So we’re sitting around LaineyGossip HQ last night, trying to arrange all the articles and picking out the perfect pairings – people who it makes sense to talk about together – all while navigating dogs and narrowly avoiding ‘that person is MINE’ skirmishes. Then someone (Kathleen?) says, “Oh, Duana, you could By Duana • Jan 07, 2019 06:23 am
Golden Globes 2019 Matthew & Keri Vibe, Yet Again Look, let’s get it out of the way. This is not going to be an insightful post about the way entertainment reflects our world. It’s an astounded, curious, scientific one, as in “WTF is it about these two?” You would have to be a total stranger reading this By Duana • Jan 07, 2019 05:21 am
Golden Globes 2019 Elisabeth Moss & Rachel Brosnahan are Globes Wallflowers A humble prediction: these two are going to be the least talked-about Globe attendees – and one of them won. Not that I think anything should have gone down differently. Elisabeth Moss was deservedly beat by Sandra Oh, which got us one of the greatest moments of the broadcast. And Rachel By Duana • Jan 07, 2019 04:43 am
