Kate McKinnon Intro for December 12, 2016 Dear Gossips, As John Oliver said on the last episode of his show last month, F-ck You 2016. But while 2016 has overwhelmingly laid down more sh-ts than hits, there are some who were able to rise above the hell, a welcome light in a swamp of feces. One of By Lainey • Dec 12, 2016 08:38 am
Amazingness Mimi, voluptuary I read the best article about Mimi in the New York Post this morning. Best as in hilarious. Hilarious as in… bitchy and stanny at the same time. Even the title cracked me up: How Mariah Carey turned Christmas into a second career Like if you asked her, oh hey, By Lainey • Dec 09, 2016 04:13 pm
Music Taylor Swift in February People lost their minds last night because Taylor Swift and Zayn Malik released a song. Kathleen made me laugh earlier when I texted her to tell her that I had to admit that I liked it. She wrote back that “Omg I tried so hard to hate it. I can’ By Lainey • Dec 09, 2016 03:50 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Go into the matrix to find the apple Sarah emailed me the new trailer for Michael Fassbender’s Assassin’s Creed this morning. “Jesus Christ, does anyone understand this premise? I play these games and I'm kinda WTF-ing it.” I don’t play these games and now, having seen this trailer, I think Assassin’s Creed By Lainey • Dec 09, 2016 02:34 pm
Maple Leaf Drake in December Drake is supposed to release a new album, More Life, this month. There was never an officially announced release date. But there aren't that many more release dates left, really. You don't want to do it too close to Christmas. You don't want to By Lainey • Dec 09, 2016 01:01 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Natalie’s wrinkled holiday dress This is a festive dress. I understand why someone would want to wear it this time of year. And I think the hairstyle choice for it is perfect. The dress itself, however, is kind of a disappointment, mostly because of the material. I like the billowy design, I like the By Lainey • Dec 09, 2016 12:07 pm
Photo Assumption Photo Assumption: Cate and Andrew in New York Back in October, Andrew Upton was pictured in Sydney with his arm around actress Harriet Dyer. The Daily Mail published the photos and while there was nothing obviously incriminating about them, as I posted at the time, that body language made me uncomfortable. As I also wrote, however, Cate and By Lainey • Dec 09, 2016 11:01 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Emma & Ryan’s weekend Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling were immortalised together in Hollywood the other day. When I posted about this yesterday, I wondered whether or not that was premature – and most of you agreed. Now though, is it up to them to live up to it or us to ask them to By Lainey • Dec 09, 2016 10:07 am
Intro for December 9, 2016 Dear Gossips, At least once a week, for the last two months, I’ve been getting emails from Norwegian gossips about Skam. Skam is the teen TV series watched by 20% of the Norwegian population. That’s more than just teens. Norwegian teens are obsessed with Skam, obviously, but so By Lainey • Dec 09, 2016 09:16 am
Ryan Gosling Is this premature? Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling were memorialised together in Hollywood yesterday. Here they are at their hand and footprint ceremony at the TCL Chinese Theatre. As you know, they’re the stars of La La Land. And La La Land is one of the frontrunners for Best Picture Oscar. The By Lainey • Dec 08, 2016 01:52 pm
BFFs Missing Taylor Swift The premiere of Office Christmas Party last night in LA. Jennifer Aniston and Katy Perry were both there. And hanging out together. Which of course is notable because of John Mayer. Obviously he's not a factor. Which is how it should be. PS Jennifer and Gwyneth are also By Lainey • Dec 08, 2016 12:16 pm
Break Ups World War Brange: the legal letters As posted yesterday, a judge denied Brad Pitt’s application to seal the divorce documents after Angelina Jolie formally filed their temporary custody agreement with the court last Friday. He claimed that she was compromising the privacy of their children. Her side argued in court documents that “his request is By Lainey • Dec 08, 2016 11:03 am
Intro for December 8, 2016 Dear Gossips, Over the last few days, there’s been all kinds of confusion about what happened on the set of Last Tango In Paris. To be clear, even though the initial headlines that exploded all over Twitter certainly suggested it, Maria Schneider was not actually raped. My friend Jessica By Lainey • Dec 08, 2016 09:44 am
Break Ups World War Brange: sealing the documents Several updates on World War Brange this week. So I wanted to wait to have it all in today’s post. To recap, let’s go back a few weeks.

TV Updates Katie’s upcoming birthday Katie Holmes is promoting the film she directed, All We Had. The premiere was last night. She looks good in this dress, presumably it’s Zac Posen, but I’m still not feeling those bangs. While doing interviews in support of the film, Katie was asked about a Dawson’s By Lainey • Dec 07, 2016 01:50 pm
Maple Leaf Ryan’s “first day out” La La Land Hollywood premiere last night. La La Land, as you know, is a frontrunner for Best Picture, in a tight race right now with Moonlight and, maybe, Manchester By The Sea although I feel like Manchester’s big hope might be Casey Affleck, the alleged sexual harasser.
