Amazingness Tom Cruise: Rides and Dives Yesterday I posted about Tom Cruise jumping out of an airplane and falling through the sky while delivering a thank you and happy holidays message and promoting Top Gun: Maverick on streaming and on its Oscar campaign.

Royals Report: King Charles to pay for Andrew’s security Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been telling people for years that they are at risk from attack by white supremacists who’ve been encouraged by the tabloids spreading disinformation about them.

Royals Intro for December 20, 2022 Dear Gossips, At the time of my post yesterday about Jeremy Clarkson’s abhorrent comments about Meghan Markle in the Sun, his article was still up on the Sun’s website. Shortly after, the piece was taken down and replaced by a note explaining that Jeremy had asked them to By Lainey • Dec 20, 2022 09:09 am
What Else What Else? I didn’t know this was Rita Ora at first. Lately when I see pictures of her I actually have to look a few times because it’s not matching up with the image that’s in my head. Anyway, she’s deep into a low-rise maxi skirt right now By Lainey • Dec 19, 2022 04:15 pm
TV Updates Austin Butler on SNL: Silly, Sweet, and Sincere As I wrote last week re: Austin Butler hosting SNL, the timing couldn’t be better for him.

Amazingness Happy Holidays from Tom Cruise Tom Cruise is ABSURD. Tom Cruise is always, absurdly, Tom Cruise. So what else did we expect a holiday message from him to look like? It is exactly what you would expect – because Tom Cruise is consistently and dependably absurd. Which is why he’s sending us his holiday wishes By Lainey • Dec 19, 2022 10:22 am

TV Updates Intro for December 19, 2022 Dear Gossips, I don’t belong to the club of people every week who declare, like they’re the first person to ever say it, that “I don’t watch SNL anymore, it’s not funny anymore”.

Style Outfit of the Week: Lucy Boynton as a doll I almost didn’t recognise Lucy Boynton at the premiere of The Pale Blue Eye because she’s changed her hair colour. For a while there, Lucy’s look was chin-length blonde bob, and now she’s grown it out a bit and gone red. I like it, and not By Lainey • Dec 16, 2022 02:28 pm
Music An Invitation from Beyoncé As mentioned yesterday in What Else?, the Hive was buzzing yesterday just after 3pm, when we all checked our inboxes and saw that we had an invitation from Beyoncé: And by “all”, I mean those of us who subscribe to Beyonce.com, obvs. So our phones were blowing up, and By Lainey • Dec 16, 2022 11:38 am
Royals Harry and Meghan: Titles and Futures Ever since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down as senior members of the British royal family there have been people trolling for them to be stripped of their titles…even though Prince Andrew is, like, RIGHT THERE.

What Else What Else? I love everything about this look on Sarah Michelle Gellar because it’s my personal style aesthetic. Thom Browne, school uniform, socks with heels… and a bit of a throwback to Kathryn Merteuil from Cruel Intentions. (Go Fug Yourself) So I guess it’s not enough that Olivia Wilde and By Lainey • Dec 15, 2022 04:34 pm
Royals Harry & Meghan: The Leaks, Briefs, Reveals, and Screams There is a LOT to unpack in volume two of Netflix’s Harry & Meghan.
