Dolly Parton Dolly wouldn’t want this drama Obviously I didn’t know Dolly Parton. But I don’t think anyone had to have known or even met her to understand that what’s playing out in public is not what she would have wanted.

Sarah Pidgeon Sarah Pidgeon: Gossip, Hair, and CBK Style Sarah Pidgeon was in the gossip a few days ago when Joe Alwyn was seen hanging out in NYC with Mary Beth Barone. They went to a few bars, no actual evidence that it was more than friendly, except at one point when she was seen wearing his ballcap which By Lainey • Sep 22, 2026 03:08 pm
Jennifer Lawrence Jennifer Lawrence: Sunrise is coming It’s been a couple of weeks since Jennifer Lawrence decided on a random Tuesday during back-to-school week to join Instagram after saying for years that she would never – at least not publicly.

Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for September 22, 2026 Dear Gossips, Oscar speculation about The Odyssey began the moment it opened in theatres, if not before. But the film’s box office, which has now exceeded $1.7 billion, an astonishing number for an R-rated movie, has made it Universal’s highest grossing film ever, and is definitely By Lainey • Sep 22, 2026 09:22 am
What Else Timmy on a bike Timothée Chalamet was not at the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art opening gala the other night in Los Angeles, attended by so many celebrities it seemed like it was a major award season stop, like the Oscar Academy’s Governors Awards. I’m talking about the Oscars because there’s By Lainey • Sep 21, 2026 04:03 pm

Brad Pitt Brad and Quentin double down If you’ve been reading this site over the years, from at least before the pandemic, you might remember our reaction to Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood when it came out.

Royals Intro for September 21, 2026 Dear Gossips, Charles Spencer’s book, Swan Song, about his sister Princess Diana, releases tomorrow and as you may have seen, he’s been doing a series of interviews to promote it.

Sienna Miller Sienna Miller is at WAR Never heard about this series until yesterday but now that I know, I’m in. Also, it’s HBO Max, and George Kay (Lupin etc) is the showrunner so it’s giving prestige…but with a healthy amount of trash. And it should be a little trashy considering the subject By Lainey • Sep 18, 2026 10:28 am

Tom Cruise Tom Cruise: Greatest stunt choreo incoming As Sarah wrote in yesterday’s site open, Tom Cruise’s greatest role is that of “Tom Cruise”. She is right in saying that his GQ cover story, both in print and on video, is for all the gossip hounds. Pretty sure we’re all still screaming about it. Tom, By Lainey • Sep 17, 2026 11:07 am
