What Else What Else? I feel for parents at the grocery store when this happens – when their child throws themselves on the floor during a tantrum and the mom or dad is trying to deal with the shopping and the embarrassment and the kid screaming its head off. When it happens in the driveway By Lainey • Nov 19, 2018 04:36 pm
Award Season Campaigning Constance, Michelle, and co: Team Crazy Rich Asians at the Governors Awards There aren’t usually this many Asians at Oscar events. Because there aren’t usually all-Asian casts in Hollywood. Crazy Rich Asians came out in August. It’s one of the most successful movies of the year.

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Lily is regal at the Governors Awards I don’t think if this outfit was on a hanger I would give it a second look. The off-the-shoulder top isn’t my thing. And the colour of the skirt isn’t either. The skirt itself though… I f-cking love the shape of this skirt. It’s regal. The By Lainey • Nov 19, 2018 01:27 pm

Bohemian Rhapsody continues to perform very well at the box office. Right now it’s approaching $400 million worldwide and could make as much as $500 globally by the end of its theatrical run. Despite the problems that many critics – including Sarah – had with By Lainey • Nov 19, 2018 11:43 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Saoirse’s Governors white I love a slinky turtleneck dress. But it’s tricky. A turtleneck can pull. And depending on the material, all that pulling can look weird in the light. Saoirse Ronan’s is white. And despite some fit issues, which you can clearly see, it’s a strong look. It’s By Lainey • Nov 19, 2018 11:18 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Lady Gaga and Sam Elliott: Team ASIB at the Governors Awards Martin Levy was one of the honorary Oscar recipients at the Governors Awards last night.

Award Season Campaigning Intro for November 19, 2018 Dear Gossips, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Governors Awards happened last night as the recipients of this year’s honorary Oscars were celebrated.

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Janelle Monae's Outfit of the Week There’s been a shortage of really special outfits lately.

Quiveration Taron and Sofia out for dinner Taron Egerton is currently promoting Robin Hood. This movie was shot a while ago. The release date was pushed back at least once.

It fits her beautifully. The jacket sits nicely around her shoulders, through the waist. And I love the pant length on her. By Lainey • Nov 16, 2018 10:07 am
Music Ariana cut her hair It takes commitment to create a signature look. Ariana Grande has a signature look: oversized sweatshirt, over-the-knee boots, and a high very long ponytail. Last week she told Camila Cabello the cost of that ponytail – a lot of pain. It’s true. I have long hair too. And every time By Lainey • Nov 16, 2018 09:33 am
