Movie Reviews and Previews Glen Powell and an “Upgraded” new rom-com Glen Powell was papped shirtless on the beach in Mexico this week. That was my hook in getting you to read this post.

Jennifer Lopez JLo’s Cinematic Love Story: The Trailer It’s an On The JLo day! It hasn’t happened as frequently recently but I do still get a thrill when I get a ping in my inbox from Jennifer Lopez with a new installment of her On The JLo newsletter.

Taylor Swift Kelce covers PEOPLE Jason and Travis Kelce cover the new issue of PEOPLE Magazine. This isn’t surprising. The NFL playoffs are underway, the Super Bowl is happening in less than a month, and both brothers were in the Super Bowl last year. And while they were relatively famous back then, in their By Lainey • Jan 17, 2024 11:23 am

What Else What Else? This is a really good piece by Marin Cogan on the Show Your Work of 50 Cent, the “most versatile man in entertainment”. I know, right? I’ve never thought of 50 that way, but points have been made! And now I’ll be paying closer attention to his career By Lainey • Jan 16, 2024 04:00 pm
Gorgessity Ayo Edebiri: Emmy’s Best Dressed (Lainey) It’s all coming up Ayo Edebiri! Ayo won the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress Comedy Series and she won the fashion award too because this custom Louis Vuitton was… simply… ridiculous. Ridiculously, stupidly, f-cking unreal. And it would have to be because it’s really just a strapless black By Lainey • Jan 16, 2024 03:12 pm
Emmy Awards 2024 The Emmys Most Polarising Some dresses we can all agree on. They’re fine to good, maybe even better than good, but that’s it, no strong feelings either way. Example from last night: Riley Keough. Nobody’s having an argument over Riley Keough in Chanel and no one’s wig is missing over By Lainey • Jan 16, 2024 12:12 pm
Gorgessity Emmys So Extra When I said that the fashion on the television side at the Critics Choice Awards on Sunday night seemed subdued and we’d likely see them release what they’d been holding back at the Emmys, I meant Hannah Waddingham. Hannah brought the EXTRA that was missing – the extra glamour By Lainey • Jan 16, 2024 09:10 am
Emmy Awards 2024 Intro for January 16, 2024 Dear Gossips, There wasn’t much suspense or surprise at the Emmys, at least not where the winners were concerned, right? Succession, The Bear, and Beef – it’s what happened at the Globes, and Critics Choice, and now at the Emmys, these are the three series that basically pulled off By Lainey • Jan 16, 2024 06:14 am
What Else What Else? Harrison Ford was not grumpy at all at the Critics Choice Awards last night. In fact, quite the opposite – he seemed quite moved by his lifetime achievement honour and also moved by what he was seeing during the show. As he acknowledged during his speech, as an industry veteran, he By Lainey • Jan 15, 2024 04:06 pm
Steven Yeun A Beef Sweep? Beef came up big at the Golden Globes last week. Last night they picked up several more wins – for Ali Wong and Steven Yeun in the lead acting categories, Maria Bello in supporting, and the series was named best limited/anthology. If the last two events are any indication, it’ By Lainey • Jan 15, 2024 03:43 pm
Tom Hiddleston Romance Updates for Barry and Tom It’s been a minute since we’ve seen Tom Holland on an award show red carpet. He was at Critics Choice last night as a nominee for The Crowded Room. I like the brown and pink combination – very handsome. And I also like that he gave the internet something By Lainey • Jan 15, 2024 03:10 pm
Taylor Swift Taylor Swift’s Post-Season Fit Kansas City beat Miami in the AFC wild card on Saturday to advance to the divisional round next week. KC was at home… and it was frigid with many parts of North America experiencing arctic temperatures. I’m about to walk 15 minutes to the train after I finish up By Lainey • Jan 15, 2024 12:52 pm
Top Reads Barbie, Ken, and America the MVP Let’s start with fashion though because did you see last week at the Governors Awards that Margot Robbie and Emily Blunt wore very similar black dresses with silver embellishment and people were saying that they were twinning?

Rihanna Rihanna votes for Barbie? Interrupting our Critics Choice coverage with an important update: Rihanna is blonde.

Carey Mulligan The Actresses and the Critics Almost all the lead actresses in contention in the best actress race were in attendance at the Critics Choice Awards last night. Almost. Sandra Hüller who was at the Globes last week skipped the Critics and Annette Bening, fresh off her SAG nomination, wasn’t there. But the two frontrunners, By Lainey • Jan 15, 2024 10:39 am
