Equality Issues Intro for July 12, 2021 Dear Gossips, No matter who you’re rooting for, the only decent reaction (and decent is the bare minimum) to seeing a 19-year-old player miss his penalty shot, the biggest shot so far of his career, is to feel for the kid. Bukayo Saka has a promising future By Lainey • Jul 12, 2021 09:02 am
What Else What Else? Hilaria Baldwin is defending her right to be Spanish again by saying she’s “culturally fluid”, and conflating her fight for her identity to an issue of acceptance and the idea that everyone is unique and should be embraced…which… is not it. And it’s not the same as By Lainey • Jul 09, 2021 04:07 pm
Amazingness Drake’s Stadium Date The last time I posted about Drake, he was with Michael B Jordan at a high school basketball game. Not just any high school but Sierra Canyon, where LeBron James’s son, Bronny, plays with Amari Bailey, a top prospect.

Style Beyoncé’s Shopping Bag Beyoncé was seen yesterday. This, of course, is newsworthy because it’s not often that the Queen takes a break from all the genius sh-t that she does every day and steps out among mortals.

Intro for July 9, 2021 Dear Gossips, MURRAYA. When I first heard the word, like an idiot, my mind went to someone butchering “Mariah” Carey’s name. This is why Zaila Avant-garde is the Scripps National Spelling Bee champion and not me. Because her question, which was still related to a celebrity, was much By Lainey • Jul 09, 2021 09:27 am
What Else What Else? Margot Robbie covers British Vogue and that gold jacket she’s wearing is amazing but the highlight here, for me, is her hair. It looks slightly darker than we’re used to seeing on her, which I love. But mostly, it’s the cut. These long bangs on her really, By Lainey • Jul 08, 2021 04:04 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews Jodie Turner-Smith whips her first Cannes I don’t remember seeing Jodie Turner-Smith in Cannes in the past, and I can’t find any photos of her there either, so I’m pretty sure this is her first time – and when it’s your first time, and it’s the festival coming back after a By Lainey • Jul 08, 2021 01:35 pm
Sports Prince William and Adele: England to the Finals As I’ve been saying all week, royal drama is not the headline this week in England, not when Three Lions are the top story.
