What Else What Else? Ashton Kutcher is another This F-cking Guy for me. Sure. He’s cut down on his f-cksh-t now that he’s with Mila Kunis and is a father but now he’s trying to revisionist his old f-cksh-t and it’s still the same f-cksh-t. Have you heard about how By Lainey • Feb 23, 2018 03:48 pm
Gossip Genie Jennifer Aniston’s possibles? Have you seen those photos of Jennifer Aniston’s sad face leaving the Game Night premiere earlier this week? It’s obviously Photo Assumption.

Relationship Assumption Zendalland, Zomdaya, whatever… are “just friends” Kathleen posted about Zendaya and Tom Holland in London the other day and then they flew back to LA together and she insisted that the portmanteau for this maybe-couple is Zomdaya even though Sarah thinks it should be Zendalland.

What Else What Else? Every curling headline over the last couple of weeks during the Olympics has made me laugh. Especially this one about Curling vs Scientology … sort of. But, seriously, the obsession with curling, or the obsession with tweeting about curling, has been amazing. Curling is on TV in Canada all winter. But By Lainey • Feb 22, 2018 03:58 pm
Break Ups Jennifer & Justin cover the magazines Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux announced their separation exactly a week ago today. America was heading into a long weekend.

Baby and Bump Obsession Where’s Rachel McAdams? Game Night opens this weekend, a comedy for those who might not want to see Black Panther (for the third or fourth time).

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Hong’s blue jumpsuit The shape of this jumpsuit on Hong Chau is great. The material though… I hate this material. It makes an otherwise really great design look cheap. A better outfit on Hong is this one, from a few days ago. Get ready for it because it’s the sh-t: Right? That By Lainey • Feb 21, 2018 12:38 pm
Style Paris & Cara? Paris Jackson was in London this week for Fashion Week and she was hanging out with Cara Delevingne. They were photographed leaving some parties and holding hands.

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Alicia’s bathrobe coat Does this coat look like a bathrobe to you? It’s totally a bathrobe, right? Because it doesn’t have a proper collar, for starters. And then the way it ties at the waist. And then, of course, the material. Also, maybe, the colour. Not that I don’t like By Lainey • Feb 21, 2018 11:44 am
