Even if you’re the most hardcore Miley fangirl, you can’t tell me that song is lighting you on fire. Still… Is Miley’s Malibu as boring as her new “image”?

Movie Reviews and Previews Johnny Depp, king of the jungle No joke, I was distracted when I first read the headline this weekend, so my initial reaction was: is Tim Burton doing a Tarzan movie with Johnny Depp? He’s not and they’re not. But that’s also not out of the realm of possibility for those two. Last By Lainey • May 15, 2017 11:31 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Angelina Jolie’s Mother’s Day dinner Here’s Angelina Jolie last night after Mother’s Day dinner with Pax. Not sure where the other five children were. But this has always been a mystery to me, we’ve been talking about it for years – when you have so many kids, how is it decided who gets By Lainey • May 15, 2017 10:22 am
Gossip Nostalgia JT for Mother’s Day…and the dance-off One of the all-time best stories in gossip history is the dance-off that happened between Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake after they broke up. This was pre-TMZ. There were never any pictures. But while there’s never been any actual verification that it went down like that, the idea that By Lainey • May 15, 2017 09:48 am
Nicole Kidman Intro for May 15, 2017 Dear Gossips, The Cannes Film Festival begins on Wednesday. It’s the 70th anniversary.

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Isabelle’s white cuffs How many others could pull this look off without looking like a f-cking asshole clown? Not many. Because it’s not just extra long white lace cuffs at the wrist, it’s also white lace cuffs… around the ankle! I mean, f-ck, I would like to try. Really bad. That’ By Lainey • May 12, 2017 03:48 pm
TV Updates Versace in a pink robe When I first looked at these photos in thumbnail size, I thought it was Jude Law, shooting more episodes for a new season of The Young Pope. Jude Law’s young pope would totally wear a pink robe. It is not Jude Law though. It’s Edgar Ramirez as Gianni By Lainey • May 12, 2017 03:37 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Brie’s best Dior Not normally an admirer of Brie Larson style but this outfit is great on her. Jacket is perfectly tailored. And LOVE the choice to wear boots, which may obviously have something to do with the venue but even if it wasn’t out in the wild, this event, I’d By Lainey • May 12, 2017 03:06 pm
Media Manipulation Angelina Jolie spends time with Jon Voight E! News reports that Angelina Jolie and four of the children had dinner with Jon Voight this week. Follow that link to see photos. A daughter and a father having dinner is not newsworthy. What makes this newsworthy, of course, is that the relationship between Angelina and Jon has always By Lainey • May 12, 2017 01:10 pm

Some think Bad Liar could drop next By Lainey • May 12, 2017 11:10 am
Gorgessity Michelle Pfeiffer forever You know what I said in today’s site intro about weekend viewing, watching, reading, and listening lists? Well next weekend it’s going to be HBO’s The Wizard Of Lies, the story of Bernie Madoff.

Whitney Houston Intro for May 12, 2017 Dear Gossips, I know you have a lot to get done this weekend, because it’s the weekend.
