Award Season Campaigning Hollywood’s Great Cate Here’s what I’ve observed about how people in Hollywood perceive Cate Blanchett over the last 17 years I’ve spent working as an entertainment reporter. I’ll always remember Mark Ruffalo walking out of a junket suite at TIFF jokingly exclaiming to an entire hallway of journalists that By Lainey • Feb 14, 2023 12:04 pm
Award Season Campaigning Tom Cruise’s Hollywood Homecoming It’s an Oscar tradition: the Nominees Luncheon, where the nominees gather to congratulate each other and ostensibly put a pause on their campaign activities (as if) and take a class photo.

What Else What Else? Beanie Feldstein looks great in this Rodarte animal print dress and we haven’t seen much of her since, you know, the whole Funny Girl debacle. Two things can be true here – maybe she wasn’t right for the role, but also… it doesn’t seem like they gave her By Lainey • Feb 13, 2023 04:04 pm
Top Reads The Bennifer Super Bowl Co-Pro It wasn’t a secret that Ben Affleck would be doing a commercial for Dunkin’ as the news was already reported weeks ago when he was seen working the checkout back home in Massachusetts.

Baby and Bump Obsession Rihanna Handles Halftime How about that run of hits? Hit after hit after hit. Someone online said it was anthems – and that’s a great word for what Rihanna delivered last night at the Fenty Bowl: an endless and explosive set of anthems, songs that were made for huge stadiums, for singing along By Lainey • Feb 13, 2023 11:25 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Intro for February 13, 2023 Dear Gossips, Do you think Rihanna’s people deliberately leaked all that nonsense about the announcement of a tour/album ahead of Fenty Bowl to divert attention away from the confirmation of her pregnancy? Or is this just another case of The Sun getting it wrong? It was The Sun By Lainey • Feb 13, 2023 08:18 am
Style Outfit of the Week: Julianne Moore’s Cape and Bow At first I thought this was Chanel, because Julianne Moore wears a lot of Chanel. Classic black and white Chanel, too. And she almost always looks great in Chanel (unlike Margot Robbie), and since she looks so great here, that was the assumption. This, however, is Valentino. But it’s By Lainey • Feb 10, 2023 03:17 pm
Music Rihanna: Feel It Coming In The Air It wasn’t hyperbolic when I posted yesterday about the Rihanna concert that’s happening on Sunday.

What Else What Else? I love houndstooth. I want houndstooth in everything – sweaters, bras, pants, socks, all of it. This houndstooth suit looks great on Alison Brie. And red goes so great with houndstooth so the bodysuit she’s wearing underneath works really well too. (Go Fug Yourself) Jay-Z has thoughts on Beyoncé, the By Lainey • Feb 09, 2023 04:00 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Emma Stone’s Frankenstein Year We haven’t been getting much Emma Stone content these days. She keeps a very low profile and it’s not like she was ever the kind of celebrity to be thirsty for attention and pap walks all the time. Now that she has a baby she’s even more By Lainey • Feb 09, 2023 12:53 pm
Music What Will Rihanna Say? Rihanna’s Halftime Show is now just three sleeps away and today is the day – it’s press conference day, which is happening at 6pm in Arizona.

Music Intro for February 9, 2023 Dear Gossips, Does a song follow you around…or is it more that when you like a song so much you’re just that much more in tune to hearing it wherever you go?
