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 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.

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.

As I also wrote, however, Cate and By Lainey • Dec 09, 2016 11:01 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

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

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.

TV Updates Katie’s upcoming birthday Katie Holmes is promoting the film she directed, All We Had. The premiere was last night.

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.
