Books Intro for November 17, 2016 Dear Gossips, New Zadie Smith interview! New Zadie Smith interview! Her book, Swing Time, came out this week. Have you started? Do you love it?

Bradley Cooper “And Bradley Cooper” As Kathleen wrote yesterday Dave Chappelle’s entire monologue on Saturday Night Live was the best. I just watched it again last night and am definitely keeping the recording on my PVR. So many punchlines were memorable, but unprintable. There’s one though that’s pretty safe, hilarious for his By Lainey • Nov 16, 2016 04:44 pm
TV Updates Tom hails the king Tom Hiddleston arrived in LA yesterday from London. He’ll be on Jimmy Kimmel tonight to promote the release of the new Kong: Skull Island trailer.

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Michelle’s pink jacket Strapless yellow floral print dress – it’s fine on its own. Pretty but not all that memorable. With the jacket though, definitely a lot more special. The softness of the pink is such a nice contrast to the boldness everywhere else. And I particularly like how she’s wearing it By Lainey • Nov 16, 2016 04:12 pm

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Michelle’s leather espadrilles I miss summer. Although I’m not allowed to say that because I’ve been in the Caribbean. But I don’t have this outfit! I don’t have leather espadrilles. Which look so good on Michelle Williams I’m putting them on my summer 2017 wish list now. Also By Lainey • Nov 16, 2016 03:27 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews Marion does the talking Marion Cotillard was at the New York premiere of Allied last night. I love this outfit, the colour, the stripes, the shape of that jacket. I also love the red-lipped sweater she wore today. Marion has been doing a lot of the talking during this Allied press tour. Most of By Lainey • Nov 16, 2016 02:41 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Alexa’s loops and leather I would be so tempted to pull those white loops that sit like a crop on top of that leather dress. You know, like pieces of carpet. Not that I don’t appreciate what’s going on here because I do, and it’s definitely a look that’s made By Lainey • Nov 16, 2016 02:13 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Lily in yellow and blue Turquoise blue? Can I call it turquoise blue? Whatever you want to call it, I like that it’s used here as an accent, only on the sleeves and in bits on the sides, instead of as the main event. I would hate this colour as a main event. But By Lainey • Nov 16, 2016 02:04 pm
Top Reads The Rock is the Sexiest Man Alive Last Tuesday, before the world changed, I handicapped potential candidates for PEOPLE Magazine’s 2016 Sexiest Man Alive and predicted, quite confidently, that it would be Dwayne The Rock Johnson. This Tuesday PEOPLE Magazine confirmed that their Sexiest Man Alive is indeed Dwayne The Rock Johnson. I’m good at By Lainey • Nov 16, 2016 01:06 pm
Harry Potter Big Budget Ezra Miller Ezra Miller, before, seemed to go out of his way to remind you that he’s not mainstream. That he doesn’t wear clothes, he’s dons “textiles”. It felt like a sneer, like a judgement of those who are mainstream, rather than a celebration of the joy of not By Lainey • Nov 16, 2016 12:00 pm
