What Else What Else? Stephanie Hsu had a great 2023. She went to the Oscars as a performer and a nominee. She starred in the film that won Oscar Best Picture. She also starred in probably my favourite comedy of the year, Joy Ride. I just watched it again over the holidays and it’ By Lainey • Jan 02, 2024 04:02 pm

Models Lewis Hamilton: New Year, New G? As a fan of Lewis Hamilton, there were very few professional highlights in 2023. The car was bullsh-t, and the only bright spot really was that Lewis extended his contract with Mercedes through 2025 which means he’ll be racing for at least two more seasons. And hopefully they’ll By Lainey • Jan 02, 2024 11:19 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

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.

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.

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?
