What Else What Else? There was a bit of an uproar earlier this week when it was reported that Ariana Grande was paid 15x more for Wicked than Cynthia Erivo. This originated on social media, specifically TikTok and Reddit, and now Universal has shut that sh-t down, clarifying that their salaries were the same. By Lainey • Nov 27, 2024 04:02 pm
Baby and Bump Obsession Jodie Turner-Smith’s team travel This post was originally just going to be about Jodie Turner-Smith’s looks in New York this week while promoting The Agency.

Movie Reviews and Previews Zac and Phoebe are Famous This sounds like the title of a YA book from the 2000s– Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist, Naomi & Ely’s No Kiss List, Dash & Lily’s Book of Dares… I used to read them compulsively and haven’t had that much time over the last few years, By Lainey • Nov 27, 2024 12:23 pm
TV Updates Intro for November 27, 2024 Dear Gossips, Yesterday, to mark the one month countdown to the release, Netflix dropped the official trailer for Squid Game season two. As Sarah wrote back in September after an early preview was shared, “it looks as intense and as upsetting as ever!” There’s also a new poster, which By Lainey • Nov 27, 2024 10:01 am
What Else What Else? Wicked is currently the biggest movie on the planet. And while some people might be tired of all the promotion and the hype, please do read Kathleen’s piece at Unbothered about Elphaba and Cynthia Erivo who, as Kathleen writes, “transforms a villain into the hero Black girls need”.

Movie Reviews and Previews Missing Timmy Last week I mentioned in a couple of posts that the first screenings for A Complete Unknown were taking place and that we should be hearing initial reactions. And indeed the ones right out the gate were overwhelmingly positive. There have since been a few that are more mixed and By Lainey • Nov 26, 2024 12:46 pm
BFFs Pre-Thanksgiving with Scarjo, Sienna, and JLaw Scarlett Johansson was on Live! with Kelly and Mark today in New York. This caught my eye because Scarjo doesn’t have a movie to promote right now so, even though I haven’t watched the episode, presumably she was there not on a press tour for a film or By Lainey • Nov 26, 2024 12:00 pm
Style Gwyneth Paltrow: A Sweater and a Suspect For over a decade, we’ve been rhapsodising about a cream knit sweater here at LaineyGossip. And it remains the standard by which all cream knit sweaters are judged, Maria and I message each other about it at least three times a year, and every winter for sure. It was By Lainey • Nov 26, 2024 10:18 am
Matthew McConaughey Intro for November 26, 2024 Dear Gossips, American Thanksgiving is on Thursday so it’s either all about whatever crazy sales are happening for Black Friday or … recipes.

What Else What Else? I posted earlier about Angelina Jolie’s subdued look at the Torino Film Festival. And Sharon Stone showed up in the opposite style energy. This is about as wide awake as possible – and glorious. But as eye-catching as this red caped number is, I prefer her second look, which is By Lainey • Nov 25, 2024 04:03 pm
Amazingness The “Glen-terprise” As expected, since the Timothée Chamalet lookalike contest a few weeks ago, the copycats have been relentless. There are lookalike contests popping up all over the place and all of them have been …well… kinda sad and desperate because, of course, everyone in large part is doing it in the By Lainey • Nov 25, 2024 02:19 pm
Amazingness Hugh Grant’s glorious misery It was six years ago, during the Golden Globes, that LaineyGossip became a Hugh Grant fansite. Duana was the one who wrote the post back in 2018 during our Globes coverage – Hugh was there as a presenter, his job was to introduce Dunkirk, one of that year’s nominees, after By Lainey • Nov 25, 2024 12:57 pm
Style Angelina non-stop It’s been non-stop promotion for Angelina Jolie over the last three months as we’ve seen her promote Maria the way others might promote a Marvel/Disney tentpole – only with a muuuuuuch smaller budget. From Venice to Telluride to Toronto to New York to London and LA and, this By Lainey • Nov 25, 2024 11:23 am

Sports Polo: Succession on horseback? And I was just saying the other day that we’d yet to see a trailer for Polo, the docuseries about the sport produced by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
