What Else What Else? Our site manager Emily has been sending me the videos of Emmanuel the emu for months – and they’re hysterical, I love them so much, I watch them over and over and over again. But all good things must come to an end, I guess, because people are now saying By Lainey • Oct 26, 2022 05:12 pm

Style Gwyneth and Gal drink the champagne There was a Veuve Clicquot event and Gwyneth Paltrow and Gal Gadot were among the celebrities in attendance, both in black and white. Gwyneth’s dress is pretty special, I’m trying to figure out how it goes on. Side zip for a step-in? I love a step-in dress. I By Lainey • Oct 26, 2022 01:34 pm
Douchebags Intro for October 26, 2022 Dear Gossips, When I last wrote about Kanye West’s antisemitism it was about how his hateful messages were being amplified, even though he had ostensibly been deplatformed from social media. Traditional media coverage of Ye continued – and even though it wasn’t supportive of him, it still ended up By Lainey • Oct 26, 2022 10:47 am
Top Reads James Corden apologises on camera James Corden told the New York Times last week that he would address his “behaving-badly-at-a-restaurant” scandal on his show on Monday. As noted on Friday, he seemed defensive and deflective in that NYT interview but, as we know, people change on camera. Hosting a talk show is a performance. But By Lainey • Oct 25, 2022 03:47 pm
Music The Taylor Swift Video Game Taylor Swift's Midnights is the biggest selling album of the year. It has already crossed the one million units sold mark and she briefly crashed Spotify. There are very few artists who can do that consistently, especially in these turbulent content-consuming times, so some of the big records By Lainey • Oct 25, 2022 01:06 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Annie’s Epic Romance If you’ve been visiting this site regularly over the years, you’re probably aware that I read a lot of horny books, unapologetically.

What Else What Else? There was a Chanel event the other day and everyone showed up in Chanel and I already talked about Andra Day earlier from the Wearable Art Gala and she looks just as good in gold Chanel as she did with the sheer cape. But Chloé Zhao really surprised me! I By Lainey • Oct 24, 2022 04:40 pm
Marcus and Friends (dogs) Olivia Wilde keeps wearing the merch Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis’s former nanny has been talking a lot of sh-t about both of them via the Daily Mail, and was likely paid for it. So as I said last week about this situation, nobody looks good here. The nanny and the Daily Mail seem to By Lainey • Oct 24, 2022 03:52 pm
Gorgessity Headpieces, Feathers, and Drama at the Wearable Art Gala Beyoncé was at the WACO Theatre Wearable Art Gala on Saturday and she was the main event, as she always is. She is selective about her appearances, as we know. And her connection to this party, of course, is her mother, Miss Tina. And together they have made the Wearable By Lainey • Oct 24, 2022 12:18 pm
Music Intro for October 24, 2022 Dear Gossips, First of all, she was seen this weekend. And by she, obviously I mean Beyoncé. That alone is newsworthy. She attended the WACO Theatre Wearable Art Gala this weekend, in support of the organisation co-founded by Miss Tina and Richard Lawson that amplifies Black art and promotes the By Lainey • Oct 24, 2022 09:26 am
Celebrity Social Media Celebrity Social Media, October 21, 2022 I’m still here subbing in for Maria, whose feed, probably, like many others, is a lot of Taylor Swift today. I’ve already written a post about Taylor’s new album, Midnights, but there are people who have a lot more to say and will keep saying it and By Lainey • Oct 21, 2022 03:45 pm
Douchebags James Corden thinks it’s silly James Corden was called out earlier this week by restauranteur Keith McNally for twice being rude and abusive to staff at Balthazar recently. It just so happened that Corden had an interview set up with the New York Times yesterday to promote his new series, Mammals. Coincidently during the interview, By Lainey • Oct 21, 2022 01:53 pm
Music Taylor Swift: Midnights of Fountain and Glitter Gel Taylor Swift released her new album, Midnights, last night and the “chaotic surprise” she promised was not a livestream as I’d predicted but seven extra songs she calls “3am tracks”.

What Else What Else? Like the Fug Girls, I also did not recognise Rose Byrne. It’s the hair, obviously. Have never associated Rose with this hairstyle before. It’s giving Julia Roberts, right?
