Music Britney turns 20 They are three of the most recognizable opening words in pop music. All it takes is “oh baby, baby,” sung in that classic Britney Spears way – “oh baybin, baybin” – to transport me back to 1998. “… Baby One More Time” is one of those songs that is such a snapshot of By Kathleen • Oct 24, 2018 10:36 am
Music Lady Gaga’s Oscar song “I’ll Never Love Again” has been insulted on this site by Lainey Lui multiple times now. Yesterday, she dared to call it “sh-t". That was the last straw. I refuse to stand by and let the most impressive song on the A Star Is Born soundtrack be disrespected By Kathleen • Oct 23, 2018 10:32 am
Quiveration Naomi Osaka’s Birthday Bae Naomi Osaka turned 21 on Tuesday. What do you get a 21-year-old who beat the GOAT at the US Open? If you’re Ellen DeGeneres, you get her crush– MY Michael Bae Jordan—to send her a shirtless photo. I stan a generous King. The last time I wrote about By Kathleen • Oct 19, 2018 03:17 pm
Music Zayn’s fingers That sounds dirtier than I intended. Zayn Malik has a new single called “Fingers” and it’s all angst-ridden and rife for interpretation. The song isn’t great but I wish it was because the lyrics are perfect for 2018. This should be a young millennial/Gen Z anthem. ' By Kathleen • Oct 19, 2018 11:31 am
Break Ups Diddy and Cassie are done Sean “Diddy” Combs and Cassie Ventura were together for 11 years. That number is higher than I expected and every time I’ve read it in a story about their breakup, I’ve had to pause and be like, “11 YEARS? Damn.” As Lainey pointed out, that timeline makes Cassie By Kathleen • Oct 18, 2018 02:14 pm
Style Apologies to my Best Chris Earlier, I suggested that Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth were making me re-evaluate my Chris rankings. I even had the audacity to imply that Hemsworth could outrank Pine. For this, I sincerely apologize. My Best Chris attended the European premiere of his new movie Outlaw King at the London Film By Kathleen • Oct 18, 2018 11:13 am
Gorgessity Tessa and her Chris If there’s anyone who could make me re-evaluate my Chris rankings, it’s Tessa Thompson. Pine is still my number one but watching Tessa and Chris Hemsworth hang out while shooting the new Men in Black is really strengthening Hemsworth’s stock. He only slightly edged out his brother By Kathleen • Oct 18, 2018 10:31 am
Music Pusha’s side The tea is hot and the plot is THICK. Pusha Tea is delivering on his nickname once again. On Monday, I wrote about Drake’s version of the events leading up to best rap beef of summer ‘18 (I’m putting Cardi and Nicki squarely in the fall season). Drake By Kathleen • Oct 17, 2018 03:31 pm
Photo Assumption Zomdaya wraps and Zendaya’s new collab Tom Holland and Zendaya just wrapped filming Spider-Man: Far From Home. They were shooting abroad for most of the summer but for the past couple weeks they’ve been back in New York City.

What Else What Else? Kathleen here. Lainey is all about ending period stigma. Knowing that, I don’t think she’ll mind if I tell you that she’s dealing with some period f-ckery today which is why I’m stepping in for What Else. No shame. No stigma. Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson By Kathleen • Oct 16, 2018 04:20 pm
Business of Hollywood Shonda brags Shonda Rhimes is great at bragging. Shonda brags like she writes: confidently, bravely and exceptionally well. When Shonda brags, I cheer. I love when she declares that her “pen has power” and proudly accepts her role as the woman who owns Thursday nights. She’s a black woman who became By Kathleen • Oct 16, 2018 04:05 pm
Music Solange is coming Solange is about to release her next studio album. It’s her follow-up to A Seat At The Table, one of my all-time favourite albums, one of the best of 2016, and undoubtedly the best of Solange’s discography. It’s not the first time Solange has had to face By Kathleen • Oct 16, 2018 12:46 pm
Girly Throw Downs Drake spins Oh, he’s GOOD. Drake is telling his side of the infamous Drake/ Pusha T/ Kanye beef of summer ‘18 and if there was any question about who would win this feud in the long run, the answer is here. I stand by my initial track by track assessment of By Kathleen • Oct 15, 2018 03:58 pm
Maple Leaf Get to know Stephan James If you don’t already know Stephan James, you will soon. He’s at the point in his career I like to call the Oprah Burn. You know the Oprah quote. The one she says Quincy Jones said first but no one remembers that. “Your future is so bright it By Kathleen • Oct 12, 2018 03:01 pm
TV Updates Love for Lana Noah Centineo owes all of the love he’s been getting to two women: Jenny Han for creating Peter Kavinsky and Lana Condor for making him look so good by being so damn good herself. In the aftermath of the To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before hype, Noah By Kathleen • Oct 12, 2018 12:30 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The Women of Wakanda are back I think about the Black Panther press tour a lot. Mostly, I think about how much I miss it and how much joy it brought into my life. Well, awards season is coming, and the Black Panther press tour is getting a second leg. Angela Bassett, Danai Gurira, and Lupita By Kathleen • Oct 11, 2018 11:27 am
