Intro for April 16, 2020 Dear Gossips, My friend Lolo sent over a tweet that had been posted the other day that some might consider inflammatory. Whether or not you agree, it’s an important discussion that we should all have an opinion on, but you should know that my opinion is correct. First, here’ By Lainey • Apr 16, 2020 09:02 am
What Else What Else? In a much, much, much lower stakes way, one that doesn’t involve animal abuse and alleged murder, there’s a baseball equivalent to the hate-on between Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin. It’s Jose Canseco and Alex Rodriguez. I guess…does that make ARod the Carole in this By Lainey • Apr 15, 2020 04:05 pm
Show Your Work Podcast Show Your Work: Do you wonder about Gal Gadot? On this episode of Show Your Work, Duana begins with a question: does Beyoncé have a “quarantine voice” – and this kicked off a disagreement.

Top Reads Cameron Diaz’s self-quarantine life…and career? Didn’t expect to see Cameron Diaz come up in my feed today. Because, as we all know, Cameron Diaz has kinda retired from being a celebrity. But she was on Instagram live with Katherine Power of Who What Wear yesterday and she talked about being a parent (her daughter, By Lainey • Apr 15, 2020 11:40 am
Maple Leaf Justin Bieber: Quarantine Fashion Icon I just read an article about Justin Bieber that made me laugh and then I sent it to Sasha because a few months ago, on an episode of our What’s Your Drama?

Royals Intro for April 15, 2020 Dear Gossips, Princess Anne covers the new issue of Vanity Fair in a piece that’s meant to mark her upcoming 70th birthday in August.

What Else What Else? This Martha Stewart “Instagram mess” story made me laugh. First of all, is it really that much of a mess? Yes, she was drunk. The comment was incomprehensible. But as far as celebrity social media messes during the pandemic go, this one is pretty … tame? Even cute? She’d had By Lainey • Apr 14, 2020 04:03 pm
Music Drake’s new record sets a record Well, this shouldn’t be a surprise. Drake knows how to capitalise on social media almost better than anyone else, with the exception of maybe BTS, in ordinary times so he obviously knows how to take advantage of it right now, when everyone’s on lockdown and on their devices By Lainey • Apr 14, 2020 02:51 pm
Equality Issues Kate Beckinsale’s new boyfriend Well now we know who Kate Beckinsale has been in isolation with. New photos of her holding hands on a dog walk with Canadian musician Goody Grace were released yesterday. And he’s evidently the “mystery man” she was seen with at a Grammys party in January – attached. So they’ By Lainey • Apr 14, 2020 02:22 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews Timothee and Zendaya’s “glowing blue eyes” One of 2020’s most highly anticipated films is Denis Villeneuve’s adaptation of Dune, starring Timothee Chalamet. Dune is scheduled for release in December, late enough in the year that it hasn’t been affected (yet) by the pandemic. You can imagine the hype for this though, right?

Zac Efron All Reunions, All The Time The COVID-19 global health crisis has resulted in a show business trend: reunions. Supermodels are reuniting, ex-lovers are reuniting, cast members from medical shows are reuniting, the cast of Hamilton reunited, and boy bands might be reuniting too.

Gossip Nostalgia Intro for April 14, 2020 Dear Gossips, Today is a big anniversary in Gossip History. Do you know what it is, off the top of your head?

What Else What Else? I know that a lot of people out there care a lot of Real Housewives. I’ve never watched an episode but I do appreciate that the housewives understand, sometimes more than other entertainers, what their job is – and they’re constantly creating content. Is it “created”, as in fabricated? By Lainey • Apr 13, 2020 04:10 pm
Music One Direction 2020? Last Friday when I took over temporarily for Maria for Good Friday, I mentioned the One Direction reunion rumours, because Liam Payne said in an interview that he’d been in touch with Niall Horan, Harry Styles, and Louis Tomlinson about a 10th anniversary celebration. As I said, it’s By Lainey • Apr 13, 2020 02:19 pm
