Award Season Campaigning Intro for January 2, 2024 Dear Gossips, Happy New Year! I had a moment of disbelief just now as I created a new file on my laptop labelled “2024”. Really?! How are we already 24 years past the year 2000?! It just keeps speeding by, and there’s no time to waste, because we’re By Lainey • Jan 02, 2024 09:13 am
What Else What Else and Happy Holidays! We have arrived at what we expect to be the last post of the 2023 – unless, of course, some major sh-t goes down over the next ten days in which case, yes, we will be here. If not, we wish you the best of the season and we hope you By Lainey • Dec 22, 2023 04:03 pm
Outfit of the Week Outfits of the Week: Ruth and Rosamund Ruth Negga stars in Dan Levy’s new film, Good Grief, premiering on Netflix on January 5. I can’t wait to see it, the trailer looks amazing. And I appreciate the release date because the mood of the movie, the tone of it from the preview, it’s totally By Lainey • Dec 22, 2023 01:53 pm
Faux Gossip Did Taylor bait the Ring Rat? Let’s start with the fresh and work backwards. Taylor Swift was in New York last night, photographed leaving Electric Lady Studios after a reported recording session with Kendrick Lamar, Common, and Jack Antonoff. Because while her personal life has dominated the headlines these days, it doesn’t mean that By Lainey • Dec 22, 2023 12:16 pm
Ben Affleck Counting down to Bennifer by Bennifer Jennifer Lopez resumed filming on Unstoppable a couple of weeks ago – it’s the film she’s starring in that’s produced by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s Artists’ Equity.

BTS Intro for December 22, 2023 Dear Gossips, Today is our final day of posting on the site as we are pausing for the holiday break. Should something huge go down, and by huge I mean Travis Kelce gets down on one knee on the field at Arrowhead after the game on Christmas Day and proposes By Lainey • Dec 22, 2023 09:36 am
What Else What Else? I adore Emma Chance’s piece on Charles Melton which is basically just chronicling her gradual, line by line, answer by answer, submission to his charms. He is sweet and earnest and appreciative and self-aware and it’s a full takeover, one culture critic at a time! (Pajiba) Staying with By Lainey • Dec 21, 2023 04:16 pm
Award Season Campaigning Rachel McAdams (barely) campaigns too Here’s something for those who still carry a lot of Notebook gossip nostalgia for Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams. Is there a chance that they could both show up to the Oscars in March? A small one, but it’s still a chance. And on that note, let me By Lainey • Dec 21, 2023 11:29 am
Award Season Campaigning Ken Kampaigns at Kristmas I hope the team behind the Barbie market campaign this past summer, ahead of the release of the movie and also now, during award season, is getting a holiday bonus. Because the work they produced delivered measurable results (a massive box office) and made a huge cultural impact. Barbie was By Lainey • Dec 21, 2023 10:35 am
Mariah Carey Intro for December 21, 2023 Dear Gossips, Mariah Carey, the Queen of Christmas, is now at her North Pole…which is Aspen. It’s where Mimi spends Christmas every year. She is there with her children, Moroccan and Monroe. She is not there with Bryan Tanaka and there’s been speculation for a while now By Lainey • Dec 21, 2023 09:24 am
What Else What Else? Kate Winslet is coming back to HBO – this time playing the chancellor of a European country and it’s satire and politics and probably terribly people being assholes so like if Succession and Veep had a baby? (The Mary Sue) The fight I’ve been picking with you all this By Lainey • Dec 20, 2023 04:11 pm
Top Reads TNT: A Pre-Christmas Gift It’s Wednesday, which means it’s a new episode of the New Heights pod, with so many more listeners over the last three months, all of them tuning into for rom-com crumbs. Which both Jason and Travis Kelce are no doubt aware of – and it’s so interesting how By Lainey • Dec 20, 2023 11:05 am
Break Ups Intro for December 20, 2023 Dear Gossips, It’s supposed to be the season of kindness and forgiveness, right? Supposed to be but, you know, that’s not how it often plays out. And that’s definitely not how it’s playing out between Cardi B and Offset. Cardi confirmed a couple of weeks ago By Lainey • Dec 20, 2023 09:00 am
What Else What Else? As we all well know, Mimi works for about six or seven weeks of the year, starting on November 1. And it’s basically a job she’ll keep forever since she wrote one of the most lasting Christmas songs of all time. The song has made her eternal. If By Lainey • Dec 19, 2023 04:03 pm
Joshua Jackson Jodie’s “Decision to Leave” Jodie Turner-Smith stepped out yesterday to run errands with her daughter, Juno. NOT JANEY/JANIE. Juno. And sorry to be smug about that but the media, and not just the tabloids but like legit entertainment media, got it wrong for sooooo long on the name and it only came out By Lainey • Dec 19, 2023 01:12 pm
Rihanna Rihanna and Rocky on a Monday night Rihanna stepped out last night at the launch party for the Fenty x Puma Creeper Phatty wearing a big purple fur to match her kicks. The Creepers were always popular and now that she’s brought them back, I’m sure it’ll be the same. There’s a strong By Lainey • Dec 19, 2023 10:44 am
