What Else What Else? I am very, very into Rachel Brosnahan’s umbrella on the set of The Marvelous Mrs Maisel. I love umbrellas like this. The ones that truly form a dome around you. And I’ve always loved a clear umbrella because I’m clumsy and never know where I’m going By Lainey • Mar 03, 2021 04:06 pm
Royals The Curious Case of Meghan’s Earrings If it wasn’t obvious that the new report in The Times, featuring information provided by royal aides, was part of a smear campaign against Meghan Markle, the story about the earrings, packaged in along with allegations that she bullied staff members, pretty much drives the point home. It has By Lainey • Mar 03, 2021 11:53 am
Top Reads The Royals On The Attack We are now just four days away from Oprah Winfrey’s exclusive two-hour special on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, featuring their first sit-down interview together since their engagement.

What Else What Else? Do you know who the British Royal Magnificent Seven are? The word “magnificent” is a stretch here, apparently, because some people have pointed out that there doesn’t seem to be all that much excitement about the allegedly magnificent royal seven. And that’s an issue for the royal PR By Lainey • Mar 02, 2021 04:02 pm
Books Intro for March 2, 2021 Dear Gossips, If you love books, if you’re looking for a new book, today is a good day. Today is the release of Nobel Laureate Kazuo Ishiguro’s Klara and The Sun, published by Penguin Random House, his first novel since winning the Nobel Prize. And we need it, By Lainey • Mar 02, 2021 09:46 am
What Else What Else? Viola Davis’s dress was magnificent last night at the Globes. I was so curious about it because you could only see it from the chest up but they cut to her every chance they got – because she’s Viola but also because that dress really popped in her shot.

Golden Globes 2021 A Red Dress for Rosamund Pike I am… a little bit afraid of Rosamund Pike. And I think that’s OK. I think it’s a compliment about her performances, how she can be subtly sinister. Rosamund doesn’t rely on predictable ways of conveying danger (ahem, Jared Leto); rather it’s the way she can By Lainey • Mar 01, 2021 12:11 pm
Golden Globes 2021 Anya & Tiffany: The Law of Golden Globes As mentioned in the open, I’m not sure there was that much fashion to talk about at last night’s Golden Globes, and definitely not in comparison to years past or even the Emmys. There were, of course, a few standouts. And two of them were produced by Law By Lainey • Mar 01, 2021 10:42 am
Equality Issues Chloe Zhao in the Lead Chloe Zhao made history last night at the Golden Globes. She’s now only the second woman to win Best Director after Barbra Streisand did it in 1983 – which means it’s been, do the math, 38 years between women – and the first woman of Asian descent to be given By Lainey • Mar 01, 2021 09:39 am
Golden Globes 2021 The Crown: A Royal Sweep Not the best night for the actual British royals was it? Before the Golden Globes started, CBS dropped their first teaser for Oprah’s exclusive with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle which is all they’re talking about in the media in England today, and then during the Globes, The By Lainey • Mar 01, 2021 08:14 am
Golden Globes 2021 The Golden Globes About the Golden Globes This is how Golden Globes weekend usually works – party after party leading up to the event, and excitement about who will show up and who they’ll be sitting with, or not sitting with, and what the red carpet will look like, and basically all kinds of distractions and hype.

Golden Globes 2021 Intro for March 1, 2021 Dear Gossips, Ordinarily in this space on Golden Globe Monday, we’d be leading with a note about the Globes to kick off our Globes package. That… is not what’s happening today. And it’s not just because the Globes were virtual-ish. After all, we had a whole Emmys By Lainey • Mar 01, 2021 05:00 am
What Else What Else? I hadn’t heard of this story until today – and despite the fact that it’s a really unfortunate tattoo considering all that’s happened, and I totally understand why she’s mortified now, she’s handling it the only way to handle it: laughing. I mean who could have By Lainey • Feb 26, 2021 04:08 pm
Equality Issues BTS and Anti-Asian Racism Over the last few weeks, there has been a louder – not loud enough, in my opinion – but at least louder conversation about anti-Asian racism and the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes. This is in part due to Daniel Dae Kim and Daniel Wu raising awareness about the attack on a By Lainey • Feb 26, 2021 01:47 pm
Amazingness Prince Harry’s Carpool Karaoke Thirst Trap What a major score for CBS and the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle exclusives. Their Oprah Winfrey special with the Sussexes airs on March 7 and they also air James Corden, which means Carpool Karaoke is theirs too. Before we get to the Harry specifics though, let me just get By Lainey • Feb 26, 2021 09:58 am
