Salma Hayek Intro for December 14, 2017 Dear Gossips, Salma Hayek’s essay in The New York Times about Harvey Weinstein – like all of the other stories about predators we’ve heard over the past couple of months and well before that too, the details are disturbing and her pain is real.

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Hana’s classic dress Certain “classic” dress shapes I could do without. For example, the wrap dress. I’m also not big on the sweetheart neckline that fits to the waist and then puffs out to the skirt. Hana Mae Lee is wearing a “classic” dress. I don’t know what the word for By Lainey • Dec 13, 2017 02:44 pm

Star Wars Two Princes and a Droid It’s Star Wars week, right? The movie opens very, very soon. Everybody’s talking about how good it is. So if everyone’s talking about Star Wars, why is no one f-cking talking about R2-D2? R2 is the OG. The OG! An OG should always take precedence By Lainey • Dec 13, 2017 12:51 pm
Star Wars Oscar & Elvira at the premiere I called it Oscar Isaac Week yesterday. I should also have called it I Saw Him First Week because I did.

What Else What Else? As you know, we don’t talk much here about the Kardashians. My favourite thing about them, though, is probably what they did to Paris Hilton. Ebola Hilton.

Thom Yorke Thom & Dajana on the carpet I mentioned Thom Yorke at the end of the previous post about Oscar Isaac and how he’s rarely on a red carpet.
