TV Updates Show Your Work: Snubbed By Shonda, Jessica Alba’s Out, and the Divine Pettiness of Ryan Murphy We didn’t set out to make an all-TV episode of Show Your Work – but when we sat down to record the podcast on Friday night, it was Friday afternoon on the West Coast – so all the pilot pickups and passes were being tweeted more or less in real time, By Duana • May 14, 2018 04:36 pm
Baby and Bump Obsession Kirsten Dunst and Landry name their baby! I know. I know it’s not fair not to not name Jesse Plemons in the headline, especially since a lot of outlets are referring to it as “Kirsten Dunst’s baby” and leaving Plemons out of it altogether. But I have to chalk it up to the power of By Duana • May 14, 2018 03:40 pm
Lifestyle Duana Names: What Does This Say About Us? Hey Duana, We're having our third (and final) kid this spring. Her brothers are Tristan and Cash. We've been dead set on Evangeline for a girl since I was pregnant with Cash (Princess and the Frog song, "Ma Belle Evangeline" - yes, I' By Duana • May 11, 2018 05:12 pm
Gorgessity Jennifer Lopez: Met Best Dressed (Duana) I checked and checked myself. Is she really my best dressed? Is this really the most arresting look of the night? But it is undeniable. This is the one I loved best. I think I might be grading on a curve again, but the overall look is like nothing we’ By Duana • May 08, 2018 12:18 pm
Met Gala 2018 Scarlett Johannsen: Duana's 2018 Met's Worst Dressed Look, she was already going to be my worst dressed. She was already on the “f-ck you” list for showing up to THE COSTUME INSTITUTE in something that looks like it was an also-ran for one of her We Got A Zoo premieres in Europe. I get that the highlight By Duana • May 08, 2018 11:52 am
Met Gala 2018 Zendaya: Best Met Armor I mean, God. She could have also been best Joan of Arc cosplay, best imitation of metal, best custom Versace any of us can remember. It’s truly spectacular. I can’t stop looking at it. And to top some of her previous Met Gala looks is an extremely high By Duana • May 08, 2018 11:13 am
Met Gala 2018 Donald Glover: Met Weekend Winner Is it weird to say that Donald Glover ‘won’ the weekend considering what he won with? I hope not, because to not do so would take away from how… everything he is. So yesterday Kathleen asked ‘HOW is he so good at everything?’ and I self-importantly texted her to tell By Duana • May 08, 2018 10:51 am
Met Gala 2018 Michelle Williams & Emma Stone: Met Worst Effort It’s a THEMED Gala! Where the theme is about what you wear! THEEEEMMME! Do these two really deserve to be yelled at in the same breath? Maybe not, though I think putting them in the same category is understandable… and yes, they’re both wearing Louis Vuitton, but that’ By Duana • May 08, 2018 10:04 am
Met Gala 2018 "Pretty Girl" Crowns: The Met’s Most Overdone Accessory They just kept piling up. When Lily Collins arrived in what I described as her “Wednesday Addams First Communion” outfit, I was stunned by the spiky saintly halo. Even when she posed with Hailee Steinfeld, who had the whole ‘Heavenly Angel’ interpretation going kind of literally, it was kind of By Duana • May 08, 2018 09:27 am
Met Gala 2018 Sarah Jessica Parker: Best Met Royalty I’m mad now. I went to google how long SJP and Andy Cohen had been friends and got sucked into a long chain of Plead The Fifth segments (which I am going to make all of our friends play next time we’re all together) and wasted an obscene By Duana • May 08, 2018 08:28 am
Met Gala 2018 Zoe Kravitz: Met’s Best Literal Interpretation There is nothing that makes me more mad than people who don’t lean into the theme of the Met Gala, except maybe people who decide they’re going to wear a straight up costume. More on both those offenses later. But there is a way to break the rules. By Duana • May 08, 2018 08:15 am
Met Gala 2018 Janelle Monae: Best Met Synergy Here is gifted actress, musician, and fashion icon Janelle Monae at the Met Gala: Here is gifted actress, musician, and fashion icon Janelle Monae as pictured on her new album Dirty Computer: I believe this is what we call ‘synergy’. I guess it’s possible that it was unconscious that By Duana • May 08, 2018 06:56 am
Met Gala 2018 Madonna: the Met Gala’s Best Obvious Icon I’m just going to say it. We would not be here if it weren’t for Madonna. The theme is being referred to as ‘Heavenly Bodies’, and the dress code was also tongue-in-cheek-ishly ‘Sunday Best’, but the official theme is “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination”. Fashion wouldn’ By Duana • May 08, 2018 04:01 am
Style Amal Clooney: Best Met Theme Twist I had always assumed, up to now, that the co-chairs of the Met Gala were just chosen relative to what the theme might be, or, given that we’re talking about Anna Wintour here, even informed that they were being appointed co-chairs without being asked in so many words. But By Duana • May 08, 2018 02:26 am
Lifestyle Duana Names: Short Yet Delightful Name Updates A flying update today as we get ready for all things Met Gala – but no less satisfying, as we get answers to a couple of December questions. First there was this update to Letter Writing Win, Name Jury Out: Hi Duana, Sorry it took so long for the update. She By Duana • May 07, 2018 04:27 pm
Lifestyle Duana Names: Get Him To The Greek Hi Duana, We're expecting our first baby next spring, and while both my husband and I always thought we'd have a girl, the last scan showed enough to convince the Dr to 'lean' towards it being a boy! I don't care either By Duana • May 04, 2018 04:37 pm
