What Else What Else? While the current comparison is to say that Lisa Marie Presley is having Johnny Depp problems, it actually sounds like she’s having Presley problems. As in her dad, Elvis.

Sexiest Man Alive 2017 Sterling K Brown & Milo Ventimiglia: SMA 2017 Odds As covered yesterday, Mark Walhberg is my unfortunate prediction for PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive 2017. Is he sexy? F-ck no. Not to me. Not to many of you. But, again, this it the PEOPLE demographic. He’s pretty popular with the MiniVan Majority. Also it’s those Calvin By Lainey • Nov 09, 2017 03:20 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Kelsea’s un-CMA dress There’s a certain style aesthetic to the country music red carpet. A CMA carpet is not a Golden Globes carpet. It’s brighter and sparklier. The hair is bigger, the bows are wider. So I was surprised to see this dress on Kelsea Ballerini. It’s not the best By Lainey • Nov 09, 2017 02:14 pm
Media Manipulation Ben Affleck’s PR angles Justice League is a week away. So the North American press push for the movie should be underway.

Back in September, before the Harvey Weinstein sexual assault scandal broke, I had been anticipating that Ben and Lindsay By Lainey • Nov 09, 2017 02:00 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Faith’s Jolie dress Faith Hill wore a black one-shoulder Armani gown on the red carpet at the CMAs last night. Don’t care for it. And not because of all that gathering creeping up her neck on one side. But because of that black sparkle material. It’s so specifically of an By Lainey • Nov 09, 2017 01:31 pm
Music Taylor Swift is not an underdog As expected, Taylor Swift won Song Of The Year for Better Man last night at the CMAs. She wrote the song for Little Big Town. It was obvious the minute Karlie Kloss came out on stage as one of the presenters. No matter how you feel about her, what’s By Lainey • Nov 09, 2017 12:00 pm
Top Reads Mimi too? Earlier this week, it was announced that Stella Bulochnikov, who’s been Mariah Carey’s manager for a couple of years now, was stepping down from the “day-to-day management” of Mimi’s career.

Music Intro for November 9, 2017 Dear Gossips, I don’t listen to much country music. I’m unfamiliar with most of the songs performed at the CMA Awards. But almost every year for the last several years, I’ve watched most of the show. It’s a really well produced show. Like, I don’t By Lainey • Nov 09, 2017 09:32 am
What Else What Else? The MET Gala theme has been set for 2018. It’s “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination”. Which means there will be zero imagination. Because every basic will show up in a crucifix. Except… Rihanna, of course. Always Rihanna at the MET Gala. And she’s also co-chairing By Lainey • Nov 08, 2017 06:24 pm

Sexiest Man Alive 2017 Justin Timberlake: SMA Odds 2017 Arguments for: - F*ck him. As far as I’m concerned there are zero arguments in favour of Justin Timberlake being named the Sexiest Man Alive. But the truth is, this is a minority opinion. Especially not with the MiniVan Majority. Which is what PEOPLE caters to. - He’s in By Lainey • Nov 08, 2017 04:28 pm
Sexiest Man Alive 2017 Drake: SMA Odds 2017 Arguments for: - If Adam f-cking Levine can be the Sexiest Man Alive, why not Drake? - Drake is a bigger superstar than Adam Levine who is, so far, the only musician to ever have been named SMA. - Drake sells. - Drake just showed up on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter.

Sexiest Man Alive 2017 Alex Rodriguez: SMA 2017 Odds Arguments for: - Jennifer Lopez. This is the main case. He’s dating her.

Sexiest Man Alive 2017 Jake Gyllenhaal: SMA Odds 2017 Arguments for: - Another one who gets handicapped year after year. A couple of years ago at TIFF, Jake was the most googled star of the festival.
