BFFs The Perfect Interview starring Jennifer Lawrence Earlier this week I was preoccupied by how Beyoncé has redefined what an “interview” with her really means. An “exclusive” interview with Beyoncé (for ELLE) means that the writer, a family friend, is given the opportunity to observe Beyoncé at a photo shoot. And then present her with a series By Lainey • Apr 07, 2016 11:15 am
Shine on Name Therapist! Tuesday was a big day for us at LaineyGossip as we celebrated the release of Duana’s first book, The Name Therapist! From Duana: Tuesday night I got to celebrate “The Name Therapist” with my friends and family and all the people who made it happen, including so many people By Lainey • Apr 07, 2016 10:11 am
BFFs Tom Cruise gives cake That is not a euphemism for anything, although I wish it was. Starting with this today because a reader called Cecile sent it over and she’s right in that even though it’s not super insidery dirty gossip, it’s one of those insightful little stories that also spins By Lainey • Apr 07, 2016 09:45 am
TV Updates Intro for April 7, 2016 Dear Gossips, I have pre-set recordings for probably a dozen shows. Mostly I try to catch up on all of it on the weekend. There are exceptions though. Game Of Thrones I always watch on the night. And Black-ish has become a show I watch as close to the air By Lainey • Apr 07, 2016 09:25 am
Marcus and Friends (dogs) Harry sweats Prince Harry went to Nepal a few weeks ago and stayed a few days longer than originally planned so he could help with rebuilding efforts following the earthquake. Those photos were just released yesterday. He’s digging and sweating and getting dirty and you f-cking love it. Today Harry was By Lainey • Apr 06, 2016 04:40 pm
Media Manipulation Ben’s next climb Ben Affleck stepped out yesterday. Some photo agencies are saying he was leaving the therapist’s. Gives me a great excuse to write about how he’s going to heal his latest cycle of shame. Sarah posted in the previous article about Warner Bros’ plans and that there’s been By Lainey • Apr 06, 2016 03:49 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Diane’s pink beads I wonder if I would feel differently about this if it wasn’t pink. And this particular shade of pink. It’s not my favourite. I feel like it’s the kind of colour and beading combination that, to me, is super Elie Saab, even though this isn’t Elie By Lainey • Apr 06, 2016 01:24 pm
Xenu Tom’s Mummy Tom Cruise has started working on The Mummy reboot. Check him out on set in London last night with Annabelle Wallis. He looks intense, as usual. Question: are you getting a Kelly McGillis vibe from her here? I ask this because you could have seen it once, right? Maybe you By Lainey • Apr 06, 2016 01:07 pm
Harry Potter Mindy Kaling, Slytherin Well now I have another reason to love her. Mindy Kaling and I are housemates. Mindy attended the opening of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Hollywood last night. I was lucky enough to go to the opening of the one in Orlando a few years ago.

Music Rihanna: reluctant “role model” In the previous post, Kathleen mentioned the Black Girls Rock event that aired last night. Rihanna was presented with the Rock Star Award. During her acceptance speech, she made a sassy comment about how “You know, role model is not the… title they like to give me, you know”. And, By Lainey • Apr 06, 2016 11:06 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Naomi’s blue-grey sparkles Hard to find anything to complain about here. And it’s the only time light blue is tolerable – when it’s slightly muted with a grey fade. Which offsets the potential cheesiness of those red and purple and orange sequins. Even though it’s high collar and long-sleeved, this is By Lainey • Apr 06, 2016 10:07 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Janet’s “family” break Back in December, Janet Jackson postponed her Unbreakable tour, telling fans that she had to have surgery. There followed all kinds of rumours about her being sick and a few weeks later she had to post a message on Twitter denying that she had cancer. Yesterday she posted yet another By Lainey • Apr 06, 2016 09:46 am
Maple Leaf Intro for April 6, 2016 Dear Gossips, If Duana’s not trying to harass the people in her life with non-stop wall-to-wall Hamilton she’s harassing all of us about Drake. Few people feel Drake like Duana. And, yesterday, in honour of the release of her first book, Drake dropped two new singles, Pop Style By Lainey • Apr 06, 2016 09:19 am
Top Reads Beyoncé’s ELLE takeover: the interview The exclusive ELLE interview with Beyoncé was released digitally today – have you read it yet? I did this morning. As I wrote yesterday, Beyoncé was supposedly “in conversation” with Tamar Gottesman, presumably the daughter of billionaire hedge fund manager Noam Gottesman – the Carters are tight with him.

Quiveration Climb On Board I don’t have many words for this post. But do know that while I looked through these pictures, I was trying not to fondle myself at work. It’s Zayn. It’s Gigi. In VOGUE. In Italy. And the word they use to describe this photo shoot: Wanton. That’ By Lainey • Apr 05, 2016 01:48 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Anna’s off-the-shoulder Been a while since we’ve seen Anna Paquin. Last time I think she had dark hair? Back to blonde. Looks fresh with this off the shoulder dress. Not terribly excited about the dress. But definitely approve of the shoe pairing. By Lainey • Apr 05, 2016 01:00 pm
