Duana’s hype song, like on days when you cannot get yourself out the f-cking song, is Kylie Minogue’s Love At First Sight. I went with Spice Girls. And then I actually sang it.

Celine Dion “Boy, if you don’t stop” What Drake needs to stop is going up on stage and telling a different girl he loves her. Last August it was Rihanna at the VMAs.

Celine Dion Celine Dion: the Angel and her “girly days” We’re going to start with the dress. And if you can’t get with this dress, if you can’t see the glory in this dress, I don’t know if we can move forward. What other dress would have been more perfect for this occasion, this milestone?

Nicole Kidman Tom Cruise & Russell Crowe Please don’t tell me that I have to convince you to care about this. This is a great gossip story, with all kinds of gossip backstory. But first… I totally forgot about The Mummy until I saw a trailer for it during Saturday Night Live this weekend. The movie By Lainey • May 22, 2017 12:04 pm

Royals Big G at the royal-adjacent wedding A few people messaged me over the weekend asking why I wasn’t covering the “royal wedding”. Ummm… WHAT ROYAL WEDDING? If I sound like a c-nt it’s because I am one. Pippa Middleton is not royal. Pippa Middleton is royal-adjacent. Can we please stop declaring that she’s By Lainey • May 22, 2017 10:24 am

Celine Dion Intro for May 22, 2017 Dear Gossips, That.Ass. Cher’s ass, of course. I mean, I think part of the point last night was to notice the nipple pasties and the ass, the 71 year old ass. After all, she did let us know when she was accepting the Icon Award at the Billboard By Lainey • May 22, 2017 09:09 am

Movie Reviews and Previews The Rock’s “fourth level” As noted in the previous post about Johnny Depp, Dwayne The Rock Johnson’s Baywatch opens next week alongside Johnny Depp’s Pirates 5. So it’ll be Lifeguards vs Pirates at the box office, sort of. Again because Baywatch is R-rated and Johnny Pirates is PG. And the budgets By Lainey • May 19, 2017 01:14 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Lily’s Cannes stripes and sequins I’m obsessed with this striped top. It’s complicated – which is why I’m so obsessed with it. Because even with the one shoulder falling off, and the one dramatic sleeve, and the bow at the back, it still doesn’t feel overwhelming, not to me. And somehow the By Lainey • May 19, 2017 12:52 pm

It’s Johnny Depp vs Dwayne The Rock Johnson. Sort of? Sort of, because Baywatch is R-rated. So it’s not exactly an even game. Pirates By Lainey • May 19, 2017 12:30 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Tracee’s khaki suit Is it just me or did you think about Meryl Streep in Out Of Africa when you saw Tracee Ellis Ross in this suit?

Relationship Assumption The Taylor & Joe timeline It’s almost as though Taylor Swift knew that Katy Perry would be releasing her answer to Bad Blood this week. And decided to take over the conversation. With a new boyfriend. I wonder if it feels even more satisfying to know that Swish Swish is not a great song. By Lainey • May 19, 2017 10:35 am
Music Intro for May 19, 2017 Dear Gossips, Earlier this week I posted about Katy Perry being a judge on the American Idol reboot and whether or not it’s a good move.
