Equality Issues Channing Tatum recognises Channing Tatum was in Cannes this week because he’s launching his own vodka label, Born and Bred. During a Facebook interview with Cosmpolitan, he was asked about sex and how he and his wife, Jenna Dewan, keep it fresh.

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Celine's deluxe pyjamas A pantsuit. But also comfortable like pyjamas. And super super deluxe. Every inch of this outfit looks expensive. Also the earrings. The earrings are kinda perfect with this outfit. By Lainey • Jun 24, 2016 12:30 pm
Media Manipulation Swoki: handkissing at dinner Before we get to the glorious gossip gift (alliteration is so earnestly Swoki, non?) that is Swoki Love, let’s take a moment to acknowledge the loser with four names. These comments showed up on Instagram yesterday: (Source: ONTD) Clayton Hawkin’s rep has apparently denied that that was really By Lainey • Jun 24, 2016 11:54 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Susan’s backpack I would totally copy this outfit, item for item, including the backpack, even though I haven’t worn a backpack in years. The way Susan Sarandon is wearing a backpack however makes it seem eternally cool. Much cooler than I’ll ever be and I’m almost 30 years younger. By Lainey • Jun 24, 2016 10:56 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Gwyneth on Brexit Day After a few days in Cannes earlier this week, Gwyneth Paltrow was in London yesterday. She was there for a talk at the China Exchange, wearing a gorgeous and very on-the-nose red Gucci suit.

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Kate B’s pink bow I really love this dress. I love the high sweetheart neckline and the black and white print too. But the bow definitely makes it. The shoe choice, though. I totally disagree with it. By Lainey • Jun 24, 2016 10:06 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Ben counts his f-cks There was a rumour that Ben Affleck was seen in Halifax, Canada on Wednesday. On Wednesday he was papped in LA working on Live By Night. He was also on set yesterday in costume. So… it seems highly unlikely he was in Halifax. Also, do the people who think they By Lainey • Jun 24, 2016 09:56 am
Intro for June 24, 2016 Dear Gossips, Duana sent me a text yesterday: “Drop everything and read this right now”. There was a link attached - Variety’s oral history of the making of The Devil Wears Prada. I did not follow Duana’s instructions. Because I wanted to save it for just before bed.

Faux Gossip Swoki obliges When I wrote about Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston at Selena Gomez’s show the other day, I asked for some updated photos of them that I could use. And they obliged. That night they were papped leaving the venue, holding hands, in the same frame. Last night Taylor and By Lainey • Jun 23, 2016 03:48 pm
Blind Riddles A bag for silence A known randy man, celebrated lothario, international party animal, and now an actor who’s supposed to be in a serious relationship …but before that happened he got a lot of action. The right thing to do when you have herpes is to disclose the information before the sex happens. By Lainey • Jun 23, 2016 02:58 pm
Quiveration The Beckhams in Paris and New York You know how Brad Pitt wasn’t looking so great until he reclaimed the hot recently? I felt the same way about David Beckham, even though he’s the reigning Sexiest Man Alive. That said… Check him out in Paris at the Louis Vuitton show. And he too has reclaimed By Lainey • Jun 23, 2016 01:56 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews Ben Affleck’s “wife” As mentioned in the previous post, Ben Affleck actually sounded pretty lucid during his appearance on Any Given Wednesday with Bill Simmons before Tom Brady came up in conversation and he felt the need to go full Perry Mason in support of his friend with the potentially shady cell phone.

Sports Ben Affleck rants Ben Affleck was on Bill Simmons’s Any Given Wednesday last night. Everyone’s talking about one particular clip during which he goes OFF on the NFL in defence of Tom Brady. Tom, of course, plays for the New England Patriots and Ben is from Boston. Tom Brady is their By Lainey • Jun 23, 2016 10:43 am
