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
Top Reads #Taymerica: the drop Breaking… They’ve made the drop. Following the annual gathering at Camp Swift, the squad has released its annual photo share on social media. What’s different this year is that Taylor’s introduced the official hashtag of the annual event: #Taymerica. Which, bless her, makes it so much easier By Lainey • Jul 05, 2016 03:41 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Margot’s summer turtleneck I’m OK with a turtleneck on a dress, no matter what the season. Especially this dress. I want it! Even though it poses a tricky bra situation! Halter bras hurt my neck – do you have this problem? Also, the shoes. And I do not consider this a kitten heel By Lainey • Jul 05, 2016 01:54 pm
Style Willow at Chanel Willow Smith was at the Chanel show today in Paris. Willow, as you know, is now a Chanel Ambassador. Because Willow Smith Style is… well… look. In this pantsuit. And those shoes. And the gloves. For Willow though, as she told the Telegraph today, it’s more than just fashion By Lainey • Jul 05, 2016 01:25 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: twigs’s headpiece I feel like FKA twigs loves a headpiece. And on her a headpiece doesn’t look like some asshole at Coachella. I love that she’s wearing 18 things and it doesn’t seem like it’s too much. How come Johnny Depp can’t do that? By Lainey • Jul 05, 2016 12:41 pm
Top Reads Swoki Karaoke It was a fun-filled Fourth of July at Camp Swift yesterday! Last year, I think I remember Taylor giving out star spangled banner onesies. This year, in the afternoon, she and several members of her squad were seen in red, white, and blue swimwear – in men’s trunk, women’ By Lainey • Jul 05, 2016 12:25 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Marion's full sleeves We’ve seen a lot of full sleeves lately. Sleeves that try to be a cape. Structured sleeves too. I love that sleeves are taking over the personality of an outfit. And these sleeves on Marion Cotillard are gorgeous. By Lainey • Jul 05, 2016 11:58 am
Maple Leaf Celine: the new style (and stylist) Celine Dion’s been performing in Paris the last couple of weeks. And giving us a lot of style porn, as I’ve highlighted several times here, and here, and here, and here. We were meant to notice too. Because Celine is working with a new stylist. And the reason By Lainey • Jul 05, 2016 11:13 am
Sports Intro for July 5, 2016 Dear Gossips, The Opening Ceremony will take place exactly a month from now, August 5, at the Olympic Games in Rio where, despite the Zika controversy, superstars will be made and legends will be re-legended… can I make up that word? Greed really is the most powerful virus. And By Lainey • Jul 05, 2016 10:04 am
Lindsay Lohan Still no Oscar Lindsay Lohan’s 30th birthday was on Saturday. My friend Lorella reminded me… She still hasn’t won that Oscar yet. Not that anyone was expecting her to, but for literally 10 years now, Lindsay Lohan has been telling people that that’s the plan. Ten years ago, actually, is By Lainey • Jul 04, 2016 04:14 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Alicia’s fluttered shoulders I love this copper colour against her skin tone. And the fluttered shoulders. It’s a little aprony, this dress, but I don’t mind. That said, does it remind you of the Givenchy that Cate Blanchett wore to the Oscars a couple years ago (that most people hated)? By Lainey • Jul 04, 2016 03:28 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Miley & Liam: back together for Fourth It’s been a couple of years since Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth celebrated Independence Day together. Here they are at Soho House in Malibu yesterday. Speaking of Independence Day, the movie, Resurgence, was supposed to be Liam’s claim to leading action hero status. And, well, the reviews were By Lainey • Jul 04, 2016 03:16 pm
