Music Bieber is not Timberlake Justin Bieber’s new album, Purpose, is good. I’m not going to make you admit it because I know that the wall of irritation that you’ve built up for him the last two years is too thick for your ears to break through but I’m telling you, By Lainey • Nov 23, 2015 10:53 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Zendaya in collared pink What makes this outfit is that it’s prim. Peter pan collar. Long full sleeves. What takes away from it, for me, is the matchy-matchyness of the shoes. And the particular shade of pink of these shoes, in combination with the slightly lighter pink of what’s on top, makes By Lainey • Nov 23, 2015 10:16 am
Music Coldplay & the Gorillas And I don’t mean Gorillaz because they would never let themselves be part of something so earnestly CRINGE. They made a big f-cking deal of the fact that Coldplay hasn’t performed at the AMAs in 7 years. It’s gross enough that every time I listen to this By Lainey • Nov 23, 2015 10:03 am
Music I Can’t was there You might not like Taylor Swift but there is no way that Taylor Swift, who held the biggest album in years before Adele’s 25, loses in every category she’s nominated in, and definitely not to I Can’t Ariana Grande. This is what we were dealing with last By Lainey • Nov 23, 2015 09:45 am
Music JLO opens and changes Jennifer Lopez hosted the American Music Awards last night and opened with a medley of the year’s biggest hits. She gave it everything. She hit every move. She was a machine. She was the Entertainer. It was an awesome display of all of her performance skills. But here’s By Lainey • Nov 23, 2015 08:58 am
Maple Leaf Intro for November 23, 2015 Dear Gossips, So the American Music Awards. And Celine. And Alanis. Both sounded amazing. Definitely two of the highlights. There were some notable presenters too. I enjoy the new, much more congenial Harrison Ford. Like, he was never at Tommy Lee Jones levels of grumpy but this current attitude – playful By Lainey • Nov 23, 2015 08:07 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Julianne in sparkly green I’ve been thinking about this dress for a couple of days. I mean, it’s her colour, for sure. And it’s not body-con and I do like how it falls. So why am I not in love? Maybe it’s the quality of the sparkles? It looks hard. By Lainey • Nov 20, 2015 02:26 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Events with Irina Bradley Cooper’s Burnt was not well received by critics or at the box office. If he’s going to show up during award season then, it’ll be for David O Russell’s Joy. And he’s been nominated the two previous times that David O’Russell’s directed By Lainey • Nov 20, 2015 02:16 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Katie’s two outfits – one black one white And both surprisingly don’t suck. I like these white pants on her, the controversial culottes. And I’m happy she wasn’t the one who designed them because can you imagine a pair of culottes in her hands? Also her skin looks really good. I’m thinking about skin By Lainey • Nov 20, 2015 01:34 pm
BFFs Cam & Nicole: Hollywood Wives There was a report this week that Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are having marriage problems. This is one of those marriages that people are always keeping an eye on, because of Nicole’s past but also because they got together and had children when they were pretty young. But By Lainey • Nov 20, 2015 12:47 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The Creed era Creed opens on Wednesday just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday box office in the United States. The early reviews are solid. Actually, more than solid. Some are saying this is the best installment in the Rocky franchise since the original. Um. EXCUSE ME. Better than Rocky IV? When Rocky By Lainey • Nov 20, 2015 11:48 am

Music Intro for November 20, 2015 Dear Gossips, Shonda. SHONDA! Duana’s coming with the Scandal and How To Get Away With Murder recaps right away but for now… Just Shonda. Shonda who for some reason is not revered in the same way that the Matthew Weiners and the David Cranes are whenever people start talking By Lainey • Nov 20, 2015 09:33 am

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Halle Berry’s long bangs Never, ever, ever thought I’d say this… But Halle Berry needs a makeover. This dress. It reminds me of those pieces they sell from fitness clothing stores where they try to convince you that you can wear something to yoga and then unwrap or wrap it around your body By Lainey • Nov 19, 2015 04:19 pm
