Intro for January 18, 2018 Dear Gossips, I’ve now read the Ellen Pompeo Hollywood Reporter article so many times I think I could recite it at a speech competition. Did you have to do that in school? Memorise a passage from a book or a speech you were studying and perform it in front By Lainey • Jan 18, 2018 09:09 am
What Else What Else? We have been getting a LOT of emails today about the same thing: Ellen Pompeo’s The Hollywood Reporter cover story in which, OMG holy f-ck, f-ck holy, sh-t sh-t sh-t, Christ Jesus, she burns it alllll down.

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Marion’s best pants of 2018 so far It’s January 17. I know it’s early. But I’m going to have a hard time for the rest of the year finding another pair of pants that are as amazing as the pair Marion Cotillard is wearing here. Everything about these pants is my life. I’m By Lainey • Jan 17, 2018 03:35 pm
Douchebags Justin Timberlake “made peace” with Janet Jackson...? This is the headline you will read all day and probably tomorrow. That, after leaving Janet Jackson for dead after the Super Bowl in 2004, Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson actually “made peace”. Those aren’t the words that come of out his mouth though. Those are the words that By Lainey • Jan 17, 2018 03:22 pm
Amazingness Tiny Tim takes us back to high school Usually I have a certain order planned every day as to what posts go up and when. Sometimes I call an audible and throw out the lineup. Which is what I’m doing now, because of what Sasha just texted me. Sasha is avoiding me because of my nasty cold. By Lainey • Jan 17, 2018 12:20 pm
Royals Princess Kate visits the tennis club It’s been a busy week so far for Princess Kate. Yesterday she and Prince William visited Coventry Cathedral and today there have been, so far, two events on her schedule – first she dropped by at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London to officially open Mittal Children’s Medical Centre By Lainey • Jan 17, 2018 11:07 am
BFFs Someone explained it to Matt Damon Late last year, Matt Damon was promoting Downsizing when the Hollywood Predator Advent Calendar was opening its doors every day to show us a new piece of sh-t. And, well, Matt talked out of his ass. On a couple of occasions. Follow those links if you need a refresher, we By Lainey • Jan 17, 2018 10:08 am
Woody Allen Intro for January 17, 2018 Dear Gossips, “I am credible and I am telling the truth.” About what Woody Allen did to her – this is what Dylan Farrow says to Gayle King during her first TV interview that will air on CBS This Morning tomorrow. CBS announced the interview yesterday, a few hours after Alec By Lainey • Jan 17, 2018 09:01 am
What Else What Else? I won’t lie – am very much looking forward to knowing the name of this baby. I’ve already put in an advance request with Duana for her to write the post, considering she wrote the posts for North and for Saint. Which are good names. Right? I can think By Lainey • Jan 16, 2018 04:28 pm
Relationship Assumption Dakota & Chris at the beach Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin spent time together just before the holidays in Paris. They were seen together at Soho House on the weekend. Then, on Sunday, they were papped in Malibu, strolling down the beach with their arms around each other. Amazingly, even though there were photographers around, Chris By Lainey • Jan 16, 2018 02:39 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Tracee’s sequined swimsuit dress Can we call this the sister dress to Tessa Thompson’s beaded pantsuit I posted about earlier? Same shade of champagne. This dress reminds me of Jennifer Lawrence’s red Calvin Klein dress that she wore to her first Oscars. We called that a swimsuit cut. And this, too, on By Lainey • Jan 16, 2018 02:08 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Kerry in black taffeta I am ordinarily not a fan of taffeta. There are better materials, less limiting materials. Taffeta can usually only be one thing – a princess prom gown which… I mean the princess prom gown, I guess, has stood the test of time, so I suppose it will never go away – but By Lainey • Jan 16, 2018 12:50 pm
BFFs Is Wendi Deng a political operative? Wendi Deng refers to herself as Wendi Murdoch on Instagram. I have always found this interesting. Because Wendi is Chinese. And in Chinese culture, we don’t take our husbands’ last names. Before you get too excited, this wasn’t an example of advance feminism on our part. The tradition By Lainey • Jan 16, 2018 12:25 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Tessa’s sequined pantsuit There are a lot of things I love about this pantsuit on Tessa Thompson. First, this shade of champagne, or whatever you want to call it, is a great colour on her. Also, right now, I’m all about finding an all-sequin tuxedo for an upcoming event. So I’m By Lainey • Jan 16, 2018 11:55 am
Top Reads Can I keep loving Timothee Chalamet? My love for Timothee Chalamet started at TIFF after seeing Call Me By Your Name. I think, at the time, I called him my “new obsession”. On that note, have you seen #CMBYN yet? Would you? It’s a gorgeous film. It’ll stay with you for a long time. By Lainey • Jan 16, 2018 11:01 am
