Music The Bennifer Drought is Over In my last post about Jennifer Lopez, I wrote – and not even jokingly – that we were in a sort of Bennifer drought, because by their standards, they hadn’t been photographed together in almost a month. That’s not to say that that’s a problem, I was simply pointing By Lainey • Sep 18, 2023 12:50 pm
BFFs Taylor Swift: Great Boots and Dating Rumours Everyone is still talking about whether or not Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are dating. Travis isn’t talking about it though, which is smart, not only to protect whatever may or may not be happening with Taylor but also to fuel the intrigue. In the absence of real answers, By Lainey • Sep 18, 2023 11:42 am
Douchebags Intro for September 18, 2023 Dear Gossips, Trigger warning for sexual assault. It’s been years since I’ve paid all that much attention to Russell Brand, and frankly I don’t want to start paying attention to him again. In the periphery, though, I was aware that he’d been swerving to the right By Lainey • Sep 18, 2023 09:26 am
Media Manipulation Pacifist Good Samaritan, a short film starring Jonathan Majors Jonathan Majors’s publicist and legal team probably don’t want me to be calling this video a short film. But life is art, and in our times we live our lives on screen. Sure, there’s a possibility that this was indeed an unscripted, totally spontaneous event but the By Lainey • Sep 15, 2023 10:30 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Outfits of the Week: Vogue World London 2023 The first Vogue World happened last September, during NY Fashion Week. It was a fashion show and a street fair and a celebration of culture. So many stars were there, including Serena Williams who opened the show.

What Else What Else? It is so great to see Tori Kelly back out, after her health crisis earlier this year, and now she’s on tour. She kicked off in Toronto just the other day. Tori’s hair here, as usual, is living and giving. And this outfit… she’s just convinced me By Lainey • Sep 14, 2023 04:19 pm
Style Bad Bunny won’t clarify Bad Bunny covers the new issue of Vanity Fair which dropped on Tuesday right before the VMAs. It’s another quality profile by Michelle Ruiz who does a great job here as the piece both introduces Benito to those who may not be as familiar with his backstory and meteoric By Lainey • Sep 14, 2023 12:29 pm
Top Reads Margot on the picket line SAG-AFTRA organised a rally yesterday from Netflix Studios to Paramount Studios and it looked like a strong turnout. The reason they did it yesterday is because it marked exactly two months since the union issued the strike on July 13. Since then SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP have not met a By Lainey • Sep 14, 2023 09:30 am
Music Intro for September 14, 2023 Dear Gossips, People have been buzzing online the last few days about the Destiny’s Child website. It’s the 25th anniversary and if they’re doing something with the website… The official Destiny’s Child website will be updated soon to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the group’s By Lainey • Sep 14, 2023 08:58 am
What Else What Else? No surprise, Kathleen’s piece on Lil Nas X’s documentary, which premiered at TIFF this past week, is beautifully written and insightful and makes me want to see it even more than I already did.

Gorgessity A Night of Non-VMA Fashion As mentioned earlier in my post about Selena Gomez, the fashion last night at the MTV VMAs wasn’t great. A couple of highlights but overall, not all that interesting. That was in Newark. Over in New York City though, there was big fashion at the Kering Foundation Caring for By Lainey • Sep 13, 2023 03:21 pm
Gorgessity The VMA for Best Cutaways goes to Selena Gomez I mentioned a couple of months ago the popularity of Rema’s song “Calm Down” featuring Selena Gomez and earlier this week, it made history, becoming the first track led by an African artist to join the Spotify Billions Club. Rema and Selena also won an MTV VMA last night By Lainey • Sep 13, 2023 01:59 pm
Hook Ups Taylor wins and distracts Taylor Swift wore Versace at the MTV VMAs last night. I like this dress, especially from the back… …but I prefer her look for the after-party, this flirty denim mini-dress with different washes in the skirt to make it look like it’s pleated but it’s not. At least By Lainey • Sep 13, 2023 12:20 pm
TV Updates Intro for September 13, 2023 Dear Gossips, Today is the last day of NY Fashion Week this year and the highlight from all the runways for me were the OG supermodels. Naomi Campbell opened with her own collection and it was Christy Turlington who closed the Ralph Lauren show the other day. Christy Turlington (followed By Lainey • Sep 13, 2023 09:23 am
What Else What Else? Kate Winslet covers the new issue of Vogue and I LOVE this photo. I love how … interior … it is. Literally. But also not claustrophobic. Just intimate. And offbeat. Fashion magazine covers can often look like beauty product ads. This is an actual piece of art. This is a PHOTOGRAPH. That By Lainey • Sep 12, 2023 04:01 pm
