Royals Big G at the royal-adjacent wedding A few people messaged me over the weekend asking why I wasn’t covering the “royal wedding”. Ummm… WHAT ROYAL WEDDING? If I sound like a c-nt it’s because I am one. Pippa Middleton is not royal. Pippa Middleton is royal-adjacent. Can we please stop declaring that By Lainey • May 22, 2017 10:24 am
Hook Ups ScarJost Too easy! Sorry! Scarlett Johansson showed up on the SNL season finale cold open this weekend as Ivanka Trump. She stayed until the farewell. And then, according to Page Six, she and Colin Jost were all over each other at the after-party: A witness told Page Six, “Scarlett and By Lainey • May 22, 2017 09:37 am
Celine Dion Intro for May 22, 2017 Dear Gossips, That.Ass. Cher’s ass, of course. I mean, I think part of the point last night was to notice the nipple pasties and the ass, the 71 year old ass. After all, she did let us know when she was accepting the Icon Award at the Billboard By Lainey • May 22, 2017 09:09 am
Drama “Birth control, baby, pull out stuff” Alex Rodriguez was in the booth last night for the Yankees game against the Royals. His job is to comment on the game. And he’s not bad at it. Many have noted that his insight and experience have added value to the broadcast. He added value when he was By Lainey • May 19, 2017 04:01 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The Rock’s “fourth level” As noted in the previous post about Johnny Depp, Dwayne The Rock Johnson’s Baywatch opens next week alongside Johnny Depp’s Pirates 5. So it’ll be Lifeguards vs Pirates at the box office, sort of. Again because Baywatch is R-rated and Johnny Pirates is PG. And the By Lainey • May 19, 2017 01:14 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Lily’s Cannes stripes and sequins I’m obsessed with this striped top. It’s complicated – which is why I’m so obsessed with it. Because even with the one shoulder falling off, and the one dramatic sleeve, and the bow at the back, it still doesn’t feel overwhelming, not to me. And somehow the By Lainey • May 19, 2017 12:52 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Johnny Depp on the hustle You know what just occurred to me because I’m slow? Pirates 5 opens next weekend. You know what else opens next weekend? Baywatch. It’s Johnny Depp vs Dwayne The Rock Johnson. Sort of? Sort of, because Baywatch is R-rated. So it’s not exactly an even game. By Lainey • May 19, 2017 12:30 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Tracee’s khaki suit Is it just me or did you think about Meryl Streep in Out Of Africa when you saw Tracee Ellis Ross in this suit? Obviously Tracee’s suit is way steezier in these times. But that’s definitely the vibe, non? I love how the jacket is blousing at the By Lainey • May 19, 2017 11:26 am
Relationship Assumption The Taylor & Joe timeline It’s almost as though Taylor Swift knew that Katy Perry would be releasing her answer to Bad Blood this week. And decided to take over the conversation. With a new boyfriend. I wonder if it feels even more satisfying to know that Swish Swish is not a great song. By Lainey • May 19, 2017 10:35 am
Music Intro for May 19, 2017 Dear Gossips, Earlier this week I posted about Katy Perry being a judge on the American Idol reboot and whether or not it’s a good move. It’s becoming more clear now why she and her team think it’s a good move. Unlike previous hits from previous albums, By Lainey • May 19, 2017 09:34 am
Break Ups Single for Cannes? Leonardo DiCaprio and Nina Agdal have been together since last year, around this time. Nina just turned 25 years old in March. Guess what? They broke just broke up. PEOPLE reports that it was a few days ago. So the streak is alive: No Leo bonafide has made it past By Lainey • May 18, 2017 03:58 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews I don’t think I can watch this movie Netflix has two films at Cannes and Netflix has been the source of all the bitching at the festival because they’re insisting on theatrical release for eligibility; the new rules take effect next year. If they were in place this year, Okja, Bong Joon-ho’s highly anticipated new By Lainey • May 18, 2017 02:58 pm
Jennifer Lopez JLO in the bathroom Jennifer Lopez was at the Robin Hood Foundation gala the other night in New York. Page Six reports that when she went to use the washroom, four security guards blocked other patrons from coming in so that she could be in there alone. So people had to queue for a By Lainey • May 18, 2017 11:26 am
Style The Cannes princess dress You know what makes me crazy? When people make fashion calls without considering what the event is. An outfit for the Oscars is not an outfit for the VMAs. The Emmys and the MET Gala are not the same. You can wear the most beautiful classic ball gown but if By Lainey • May 18, 2017 10:42 am
Media Manipulation How Taylor hid Joe Now that we know that Taylor Swift has been dating Joe Alwyn undercover for the last few months, we’re getting more details about how they’ve been hiding. Because all these Taylor sources managed to keep her sh-t tight all this time…and suddenly they’re willing to By Lainey • May 18, 2017 09:59 am
Style Wonderstruck in Cannes Have you seen Far From Heaven? I just checked – Far From Heaven is 15 year old this year. I loved Far From Heaven. Like many others, it’s my favourite Todd Hayne’s film.
