What Else What Else? Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are not the only people with conspiracy theorists clinging to an alternative narrative. When RP was engaged to FKA twigs, the relationship was called a sham because IRL he and Kristen are married with children. Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss are also secret lovers.

Models Kaia’s big runway hair Kaia Gerber walked the runway at the Valentino show yesterday during Paris Fashion Week. I wouldn’t call this a dress. I’d call it a pink bird. But if you have to say it’s a dress, it’s a LOT of dress. And so I guess they decided By Lainey • Jul 05, 2018 11:48 am

What Else What Else? God bless Michael K every day and definitely today for thinking of Little Edie on the Fourth of July. This is an iconic moment in cinema. To be fair, the film itself is iconic. It’s been a couple of years for me. And I now I really want to By Lainey • Jul 04, 2018 04:54 pm
Relationship Assumption Billy & Naomi’s Paris PDA Does that sound like the title of a Rachel Cohn/David Levithan book, only much less clever? The subjects are just as cute too. And I feel like a scene like this could totally happen. Here are Billy Crudup and Naomi Watts at Charles de Gaulle in Paris this week. By Lainey • Jul 04, 2018 04:26 pm
