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. I've been reading your column for ages and didn't even feel the need to write to you for my 1st child By Duana • Jan 09, 2019 05:20 pm
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
Assy 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
Golden Globes 2019 Rosamund Pike Deserves It All Rosamund Pike, wearing Givenchy Haute Couture, was very nearly my best-dressed of the night. By rights, she should be. Look at what is happening here. First of all, her black dress made me care about black dresses, which I never do. It is perfectly tailored, it is the perfect black By Duana • Jan 07, 2019 04:21 am
Golden Globes 2019 Chrissy Metz vs. Alison Brie via Live TV Didn’t we all agree 2019 was going to be better? Didn’t we all think we were better than this? Early in the night, Twitter blew up because, in the words of social media, “Chrissy Metz called Alison Brie a bitch, you guys!!” on a Facebook Live Globes preshow By Duana • Jan 07, 2019 03:30 am
Golden Globes 2019 Kristen Bell, Jameela Jamil, and The Good Place At The Globes How much difference a year makes. Last year when Kristen Bell hosted the SAG awards I said I was the only one banging the Veronica Mars drum, and now? Now there’s a Veronica Mars revival currently in production, and that’s joyful enough on its own, but have you By Duana • Jan 07, 2019 03:02 am
Lifestyle Duana Names: What The Name Needs Hi Duana! My husband and I are expecting our second (and last) child in early January, a boy. We've been throwing names around for a few months now, and nothing feels quite right. We recently ran across the name Axel, and we both really like it, but I By Duana • Dec 19, 2018 04:38 pm
Lifestyle Duana Updates: Monday Morning Quarterback Updates So I was ready to do an updates post again – call it an end-of-year nostalgia – and wanted to see not only how you’ve been doing, but whether I was anywhere close in my suggestions. Partly because we’ve been talking about writing and what it’s for and what By Duana • Dec 17, 2018 04:37 pm
Lifestyle Duana Names: No Vampires! Hi, Duana! I’m pregnant with our first baby, due at Christmas. We found out early on we’re having a girl, which is thrilling, but definitely threw us for a loop – I was convinced it was a boy and had a name LOCKED DOWN. Girl names, though, are presenting By Duana • Dec 14, 2018 03:58 pm
