What Else Jacob Tierney doesn’t hold back Jacob Tierney may not be as famous as Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie but even beyond the Heated Rivalry fandom, he is known for his work, for adapting Rachel Reid’s book into a smash television hit.

Taylor Swift Taylor Swift: Autumn Girl in Autumn Colours As mentioned earlier, there’s been a lot of Grammy coverage in the trades and entertainment outlets because Grammy nomination voting is happening right now and it’s a pretty competitive year, with female artists dominating the industry.

Movie Reviews and Previews A Deep Cut Romance Cailee Spaeny was seen in New York yesterday on the set of Deep Cuts, the film adaptation of Canadian author Holly Brickley’s bestselling book. It’s a good, quick read – about two people who are brought together and then torn apart by music. This is a classic soundtrack friend By Lainey • Oct 13, 2026 12:37 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews MV85 LFG I like this thing that studios are doing just as production begins on a film – sharing footage from the screen test process as the actors begin to find their characters and their performances through their wardrobes. It helps to build anticipation for the project but also they often time it By Lainey • Oct 13, 2026 11:14 am
Rosalia Vila Tobella Intro for October 13, 2026 Dear Gossips, In addition to the unfunny, lazy, and offensively bad jokes that the audience had to endure on Saturday Night Live this weekend, delivered by a host who Lorne Michaels obstinately insists on inviting back (because he’s the ultimate instigating troll), one of the other downsides is that By Lainey • Oct 13, 2026 09:36 am

What Else CZJ is doing press too Interesting timing – Michael Douglas has been promoting his memoir, One Helluva Ride. Every couple of days or so there’s a new revelation, most of it has to do with his sex life. Like how he and Kathleen Turner had an affair while they were filming Romancing the Stone but By Lainey • Oct 08, 2026 04:57 pm
Jessica Chastain All of Jessica Chastain’s Horrors Jessica Chastain was at Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night to promote her movie Other Mommy, opening this weekend, and I will not be seeing it because I am not built for that kind of fright – but I do LOVE that she’s a scream queen, a proud scream queen, a By Lainey • Oct 08, 2026 03:28 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The Debut in theatre kid central As I’ve already mentioned a number of times, The Debut was my favourite film of TIFF 2026. I LOVE this movie SO MUCH, to the point where it became my festival personality – all I wanted to do was talk to people about The Debut, perhaps to verify that the By Lainey • Oct 08, 2026 12:53 pm
Maple Leaf Intro for October 8, 2026 Dear Gossips, My favourite annual fashion event is Toronto is the Cashmere Collection show. For 23 years, established and emerging designers from across Canada are invited to design one-of-a-kind pieces made out of a bathroom tissue in support of the breast cancer cause. Cancer, unfortunately, has affected By Lainey • Oct 08, 2026 09:18 am
What Else Noah Centineo is Street Fighter now The Street Fighter hype has completely missed me until today. I was never into the video game beyond having to listen to my friends talk about it so it makes sense that the movie hasn’t infiltrated my algorithm and that I’ve been barely aware that it’s about By Lainey • Oct 07, 2026 04:15 pm

Style A Tribute to Jennifer Lawrence It’s wild to me that the original tribute is being tributed but, sure, I guess that much time has passed since Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen volunteered as tribute and now she’s the one who people are styling themselves after. The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping opens By Lainey • Oct 07, 2026 12:17 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for October 7, 2026 Dear Gossips, Ang Lee’s sumptuous 1995 film, Sense and Sensibility, is widely considered to be a gold standard for Jane Austen adaptations. As Sarah often says, though, every generation deserves their version of Austen – and they’re getting it this fall in theatres and on television. Netflix’s Pride By Lainey • Oct 07, 2026 10:20 am
What Else Zendaya re-wears Zendaya I forgot about Louis Vuitton when I posted about Chanel this morning – the LV show happened today as the closing show for PFW and as usual the main event is Zendaya wearing Zendaya, and by that I mean she wore a piece she’s already worn, and not that long By Lainey • Oct 06, 2026 04:20 pm
Top Reads Here comes Artificial Aaron Sorkin’s The Social Reckoning, about Meta and Mark Zuckerberg and whistle blowing, opens this Friday. Reviews are embargoed until tomorrow but from the early reactions that I’ve seen so far, the most common description is that it’s “solid”.
