Break Ups DJ Carly Simon Taylor Swift is known for writing songs about her exes. And it’s gotten to the point where people act like she invented the practice. But Carly Simon was doing it over 40 years ago. We all know that song. It’s not just women though. Men do it all By Lainey • Jul 07, 2016 11:22 am
Hook Ups Rachel McAdams has a boyfriend Last month I posted about Rachel McAdams at a wedding with screenwriter Jamie Linden after a reader called Anna mentioned that she was wondering if Jamie could have been the person mistaken for Taylor Kitsch when Rachel was spotted by fans in Paris in May. It would appear that it By Lainey • Jul 07, 2016 10:23 am
Chris Evans Intro for July 7, 2016 Dear Gossips, Stucky. This is the portmanteau that fans have come up with for Captain America Steve Rogers and his best friend Bucky Barnes, the Winter Soldier, played by Chris Evans and Sebastian Stan respectively. Stucky shippers want Steve and Bucky to get romantic. To be honest, I haven’t By Lainey • Jul 07, 2016 10:00 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Vanessa’s amazing shoes I needed to compose myself after seeing these shoes and becoming hysterical over them. The combination of gold and black is gorgeous. The black cap toe keeps the gold from overpowering. The black straps and the triangle sides make the shoe more than just a generic mary jane. This is By Lainey • Jul 06, 2016 04:42 pm
Amazingness The Shallows: Mimi version Yesterday a reader called Jessie sent me Wesley Morris’s review of Blake Lively’s The Shallows for The New York Times. It is a hilariously bitchy piece of writing. Wesley was initially excited about going to see The Shallows. Because… he thought the star of The Shallows was Kate By Lainey • Jul 06, 2016 04:38 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Sienna’s Wimbledon oxfords I like the bottom of this dress more than I like the top. But I feel like it’s more about the fit. If I were her I would have gone one size larger. These oxfords though. With the side buckle? They’re on my Want list for sure. By Lainey • Jul 06, 2016 03:48 pm
Music Gwen & Blake in the shadow of Swoki Gwen Stefani covers the new issue of Harper’s Bazaar. And it’s a good interview too because, as the writer notes right off the top of the article, Gwen is candid. She will later say that she really has no choice because "I'm not here to By Lainey • Jul 06, 2016 03:30 pm
Sam Rockwell Leslie & Sam, by request We’ve had a couple of requests come in recently for Leslie Bibb and Sam Rockwell, one of my favourite un-Swoki low-key celebrity couples. And they have endured! Here they are getting pizza in New York today. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who doesn’t appreciate By Lainey • Jul 06, 2016 02:51 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Rihanna’s yellow in Stockholm All of THIS. You don’t like the print right? You’re accusing it of being old-fashioned curtains, right? Nope. Not on Rihanna. And not when it’s dressed with these boots. And a clean top-knot is exactly the hair to wear with it. I am freaking out over this By Lainey • Jul 06, 2016 01:32 pm
Models Bradley Cooper & Irina Shayk at Wimbledon Last night, Bradley Cooper was in Paris at the Vogue Foundation Gala with Irina Shayk. He’s been with Irina for Paris Fashion Week. Today they’re at Wimbledon, in support of Roger Federer during a tough 5 set match. Anna Wintour was there too. As you can see, Coop By Lainey • Jul 06, 2016 01:24 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Alexa’s perfect dress One of the best dresses I’ve seen all year. Checks all my boxes. The white collar, the white cuffs, a subtle keyhole, and a Chinese button knot just above the waist, and then again, offset on the hip. Plus…that print! By Lainey • Jul 06, 2016 01:04 pm
Media Manipulation The Swoki backlash: they don’t know Tom Before we begin, let us give thanks to Swoki for the gossip they’ve delivered. Every summer, there’s a celebrity who comes through for us in gossip: Prince Harry in Vegas, Brange having babies, last year it was Ben Affleck being Ben Affleck, and in 2016, we have Swoki.

BFFs The era of #Taymerica Someone sent me an email yesterday and it made me laugh for a long time because of its brilliance which makes it even worse that I forgot to take down your name – I’m sorry. This was the observation: Taylor Swift is doing to Independence Day what Mariah Carey did By Lainey • Jul 06, 2016 11:10 am
Music Intro for July 6, 2016 Dear Gossips, Billboard posted an article yesterday about the Song of the Summer, one of the signs that monoculture isn’t quite dead yet. The Song of the Summer is usually crowned by Labour Day, although I don’t even know why we have to have this discussion this year By Lainey • Jul 06, 2016 10:09 am
Relationship Assumption Swoki’s “performative happiness” As of this post time, Taylor Swift has yet to post a shot of Tom Hiddleston on her own Instagram account. That might change, depending on when you read this because she and her squad have been coordinating their social media drops every five minutes. The first “official” photo of By Lainey • Jul 05, 2016 05:03 pm
Taylor Swift Anti-#Taymerica? On social media, everything means something…right? At the start of Camp Swift’s annual Fourth of July weekend, fans claimed to have seen Selena Gomez at the beach with Taylor Swift and Blake Lively. Selena didn’t show up in any of the group swim shots though. And she’ By Lainey • Jul 05, 2016 04:06 pm
