Emmy Awards 2018 Leslie Jones: Emmys Best Reactions Leslie Jones was the Emmys’ Audience Surrogate. That’s the character in a movie or TV show that essentially acts as the proxy for the viewer. In other words, she was all of us. It’s my favourite thing about Leslie Jones. Whether she’s watching the Olympics or Game By Kathleen • Sep 18, 2018 05:04 am
Emmy Awards 2018 Mandy Moore: This Is Us at the Emmys At last year’s Emmys, Mandy Moore was my Worst Dressed. This year is an improvement. Her custom Rodarte still feels like something Kate Hudson would wear but I don’t hate it. She looks GREAT so there’s that. Last year, Mandy Moore was “snubbed” for a Best Actress By Kathleen • Sep 18, 2018 04:37 am
Emmy Awards 2018 Letitia & Gina: Emmy Underused & Underwhelming Faves Letitia Wright was nominated for an Emmy for Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or Movie for her work in Black Mirror.

Quiveration “Thirst architect” Noah Centineo Internet crushes are fickle. When we were first introduced to Peter Kavinsky and the world declared Noah Centineo the latest ‘Internet Boyfriend", I listed the slew of actors who had previously been given this designation. The Internet, as a collective, moved on from each of these hot actors to By Kathleen • Sep 17, 2018 03:31 pm
Weddings Justin and Hailey... married? Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin went to the courthouse “where marriage licenses are issued” in New York City yesterday, TMZ is reporting.

What Else What Else? Lainey is casually moderating the Q&A after the 25th anniversary screening of The Joy Luck Club at TIFF right now. No big deal. I’m kidding; it’s a VERY BIG DEAL. I would tell you to send her good luck but she doesn’t need it. While By Kathleen • Sep 13, 2018 04:53 pm
Music Missy’s “funky white sister” You probably don’t know Mary Halsey by name. You probably have seen the video of her rapping to Missy Elliott’s “Work It.” I’ve tried to do this song at karaoke and it is HARD. Mary doesn’t make it look hard. Mary’s got the funk. Mary’ By Kathleen • Sep 13, 2018 03:18 pm
Models Rihanna x Fenty x NYFW Yesterday Lainey wrote that New York Fashion Week “begins and ends with Rihanna”. Rihanna debuted her new Savage x Fenty lingerie line and she did not disappoint. It wasn’t your typical runway show. Rihanna reinvented what a lingerie runway show could look like. The Savage x Fenty show was By Kathleen • Sep 13, 2018 01:07 pm
Sports Naomi Osaka’s moment + MBJ There has been a lot written about what Naomi Osaka deserved during her first grand slam win.

Quiveration Peter Noah: the puppies and the letdown Sierra Burgess Is A Loser started streaming on Netflix last Friday. It’s TIFF time and this week was the kickoff of The Social’s season six so it’s been hectic.

Assy Style Blake Lively does the most Yesterday, I described one of Blake Lively’s outfits as “P.T. Barnum meets Tuxedo Mask”. Now she’s just fully cosplaying as Willy Wonka walking around New York City with a literal cane. At first I thought that she was campaigning to play the Penguin in the next Batman By Kathleen • Sep 11, 2018 03:46 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews TIFF Review: The Hate U Give A few years ago, book-to-screen YA adaptations meant sci-fi worlds of vampires or dystopian futures. Their heroines were named Bella or Katniss or Tris and even though their stories were unique in their own ways, a few things were constant. Love was as integral to these teen girls as forces By Kathleen • Sep 11, 2018 09:58 am
What Else What Else? It’s Kathleen again. I’m handling What Else while Lainey is off partying with Sebastian Stan and Taika Waititi. Just kidding, she’s working more red carpets.

Hook Ups Mel B’s rebound Zefron Mel B and Zac Efron reportedly had a “night of passion” after they met on a dating app. Yes, that Mel B. And yes, that Zac Efron. I read a lot of books that include nights of passion. Reading The Sun’s breakdown of Mel B and Zac Efron’s By Kathleen • Sep 10, 2018 12:13 pm
Girly Throw Downs Cardi vs. Nicki Violence is never the answer. Violence is not funny. Before I address the Cardi B and Nicki Minaj situation, I want to first make it clear that I don’t think that most physical altercations are laughing matters and that when it comes to rap beefs, we know how serious By Kathleen • Sep 10, 2018 10:27 am
What Else What Else? Note: Kathleen here. Lainey is in back-to-back TIFF screenings for the rest of the day so you’re stuck with me for What Else. I promise every story won’t be about Chris Pine’s penis… but at least one of them will be! Geoffrey Owens played Elvin on The By Kathleen • Sep 07, 2018 04:33 pm
