Top Reads Teyana Time As Sarah noted in our post-Globes coverage about Teyana Taylor and the Best Supporting Actress race, up until Sunday night, it was Amy Madigan’s performance in Weapons who was considered the frontrunner in the category.

As expected, the tour is massive – 79 shows so far taking them across the planet, with more stops in 2027 “coming soon”. I thought I did what I could do to prepare for the confirmation.

Maple Leaf Connor’s first time It’s been a seemingly endless series of first times for Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie of Heated Rivalry the last few weeks.

Golden Globes 2026 Fashion Misses at the Globes Before we get into some of the style disappointments from last night, a quick word on the DJ. Not all of the production elements worked at the Golden Globes this year – the GPS thing was dumb, some of the technical transitions were clunky, the lighting was terrible at times.

Golden Globes 2026 Jessie, Hamnet, and the Lead Actresses Sarah has written today about One Battle After Another and how it is now, unquestionably, the frontrunner for Best Picture at the Oscars over Sinners which will likely get many, many nominations but few if any wins.

Golden Globes 2026 Leo goes double viral Nikki Glaser’s monologue last night wasn’t the best Golden Globes host monologue we’ve ever seen but it was far from the worst.

Style Lucy Liu: All the looks and the red coat For many of us, especially women, growing up in the Chinese diaspora, Lucy Liu is…like…the word icon doesn’t begin to describe it.

What Else The Globes of Rivalry A clever person would find a way to connect the Globes, as in the award show, to the ass, as in the hockey butts of Heated Rivalry. I’m tapped out of puns today, but I just wanted to tell you I’ll never tap out on all the bum By Lainey • Jan 08, 2026 04:31 pm
Relationship Assumption Katy Perry: Exes and Trudeaus Come on. That was a good pun, right? I suck at puns, it’s like a 16-year comet cycle when I can come up with one. And it works with Katy Perry’s most recent Instagram post. It’s a much better start to 2026 for Katy than it was By Lainey • Jan 08, 2026 02:42 pm
