Intro for May 10, 2017 Dear Gossips, I have a checklist of sites I go to every night. Teen Vogue is near the top of that list. Duana and I talked about Teen Vogue on one of the early episodes of Show Your Work, how Teen Vogue has become a voice of resistance and activism, By Lainey • May 10, 2017 10:32 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Charlie Hunnam’s “consistent” romance Charlie Hunnam at the Hollywood premiere of King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword last night. The movie opens this Friday. Have you, um, read any of the reviews? So far not so good. Only 13% on Rotten Tomatoes at post time. Which may explain why it’s been rescheduled and By Lainey • May 09, 2017 03:49 pm
Relationship Assumption ARod dances for JLO Can I just start with this? Jennifer Lopez is ridiculous. And I don’t mean her behaviour. I mean… HER FACE! She looks better now than she did 20 years ago! And yes, we’re not supposed to notice and talk about this sh-t because it makes us feel like By Lainey • May 09, 2017 03:11 pm
Music Don’t come for Katy Perry Katy Perry was interviewed by Entertainment Weekly this week to promote her new album but it still doesn’t have a title. Or, from what I can see, an official release date? No release date was mentioned in the EW article and I find this to be an interesting strategy, By Lainey • May 09, 2017 01:17 pm
Hook Ups Harry Styles: new video, new love interest? Harry Styles’ video for Sign Of The Times was released yesterday. There’s been a lot of focus on the flying. They strung him up – and a body double too – from a helicopter and then digitally manipulated the footage to look like he’s Superman or Iron Man and I By Lainey • May 09, 2017 11:27 am
Amazingness I like Spider-Man very much Sarah wrote yesterday about the new Spider-Man clip that aired during the MTV Movie and TV Awards on Sunday. About how cute and nerdy Tom Holland and his friend, Jacob Batalon, are together. They are, indeed, really, really cute. And I am getting really, really excited to see this movie.

Music Intro for May 9, 2017 Dear Gossips, Wait…!? How is it that we haven’t talked yet about How To Make Lemonade? F-cking MET Gala! Last week, Beyoncé announced the upcoming release of the Lemonade box set, How To Make Lemonade.

Show Your Work Podcast Show Your Work: Make Brad Pitt Great Again That Brad Pitt piece in GQ – as I wrote last week, this was a solid appeal to the base. But if you’re not part of the base… were you rolling your eyes? Duana and I go through the eye-rolly parts. And those eye rolls brought us to “Make Brad By Lainey • May 08, 2017 04:38 pm
Royals Harry & Meghan’s weekend at polo Last week, when I wrote about Prince Philip’s retirement announcement and the initial speculation that it might be a Prince Harry engagement, I mentioned that these things, they happen on a schedule. Harry has been observing the royal schedule his entire life. And if he cares about Meghan as By Lainey • May 08, 2017 03:51 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews No MET but Cannes? Given this year’s MET Gala theme honouring Rei Kawakubo and Comme Des Garcons, it would have been great to see FKA twigs’s interpretation. She and Robert Pattinson were there in 2015 and 2016 but skipped last week – or they weren’t invited…? Anna Wintour reportedly wanted to keep By Lainey • May 08, 2017 02:56 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Hailee’s lavender cutouts This is not an easy colour. In certain situations, it’s actually a super corny colour. Corny. Or tacky. The way Hailee Steinfeld’s wearing it here? I’m gonna say it’s a corny-tacky combination. Mall at the prom. What you’d like to be forgiven for the first By Lainey • May 08, 2017 12:33 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Tracee’s sequined patches Sasha emailed me last night freaking out about Tracee Ellis Ross’s look at the MTV Movie and TV Awards last night. It’s her “favourite for all of 2017”. I like it too, though I’m not sure I would say it’s my favourite for the entire year By Lainey • May 08, 2017 11:58 am
Gwyneth Paltrow Gwyneth Paltrow’s “smart” kitchen It’s been almost a week since Gwyneth Paltrow showed up at the MET Gala and decided not to participate – in my opinion because, as a member of the establishment, she cannot and refuses to represent the counterculture as it would undermine the status quo, which exists in her favour. By Lainey • May 08, 2017 11:42 am
TV Updates Chris Pine, “The Boy Is Mine” On Friday in Smutty Tingles, I wrote about my unexpectedly high expectations for Chris Pine hosting Saturday Night Live after seeing him get loose in the promo. Before that, in no world would I have imagined looking forward to Chris Pine on SNL. And then he delivered! I’ll go By Lainey • May 08, 2017 10:19 am
Movie Reviews and Previews The Moonlight kiss In my earlier post about Emma Watson and how MTV has gone gender neutral with their acting awards, I wondered about the impact – specifically whether or not this kind of decision will encourage diversity in storytelling and diversity in storytellers, creating more opportunities for women in the industry. The MTV By Lainey • May 08, 2017 09:29 am
Emma Watson Emma Watson makes history MTV announced a few weeks ago that for the first time in history, the acting categories at the MTV Movie and TV Awards would be based on performance only, not separated by sex. Last night Emma Watson became the first to win the Best Actor in a Movie award. Others By Lainey • May 08, 2017 08:25 am
