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.

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?

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.
