Celebrity Social Media Celebrity Social Media, May 13, 2021 This morning I wrote about the tentative “cancellation” of Chrissy Teigen and I want to talk about a different kind of cancellation now – The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which is ending after 19 years.

Girly Throw Downs #chrissyteigen Another day, another Chrissy Teigen social media story. It seems like every few months there’s a new one (Alison Roman, fake QAnon conspiracy theories, blocked by the US president, arguing about chicken wings, getting into trouble for tweeting about her mom treating AirPods as disposable); this is a small By Maria • May 13, 2021 11:35 am

Celebrity Social Media Celebrity Social Media, May 11, 2021 As Lainey wrote, Bennifer: Part Deux is giving social media a lot of life. Top-tier, A+ content is being posted by the hour. My favourite so far, on the timing it all: Ben Affleck didn’t wait until free agency official started. That’s tampering. The league will investigate https: By Maria • May 11, 2021 01:30 pm

Celebrity Social Media Celebrity Social Media, May 7, 2021 I’m fascinated by all of the machinations of people who film at home because lightening a shoot is such a particular skill. Victoria Beckham showed a snippet of how much work goes into those videos, including having Ken Paves on hand to help and David Beckham directing. He is By Maria • May 07, 2021 02:55 pm
Celebrity Social Media Celebrity Social Media, May 6, 2021 Like Lainey, I’m not all that interested in the gossip behind Bill and Melinda Gates and I think their divorce statement was released to calm the markets, not to appeal to the public. But we are clearly in the minority because it is being reported on like a celebrity By Maria • May 06, 2021 01:45 pm
Celebrity Social Media Celebrity Social Media, May 5, 2021 Lainey’s intro this morning focused on Adele’s birthday and since that post went up, Adele posted three photos on Instagram (it’s a carousel, click the arrow to see the other two shots). It’s an acknowledgement of 33, but as Lainey said, people are always trying to By Maria • May 05, 2021 02:31 pm
Celebrity Social Media Celebrity Social Media, May 4, 2021 As Lainey mentioned in her opening, this Tuesday in May we’d usually be coming off the Met Gala, which is an all-nighter.

Celebrity Social Media Celebrity Social Media, May 3, 2021 This morning’s top story is of course the possible return of Bennifer – this is seismic gossip, the kind that makes CNN.

Celebrity Social Media Celebrity Social Media, April 30, 2021 As someone who learned to drive as an adult (and not a teen), some of you all have real driver’s license test superiority complex.

Celebrity Social Media Celebrity Social Media, April 29, 2021 One unexpected inconvenience of this pandemic has been the need for a printer. It started last March with home schooling and, judging by my Twitter feed, I am not the only one with this problem. Turns out people are expected to have printers in their homes?

Celebrity Social Media Celebrity Social Media, April 27, 2021 Lainey analyzed the Oscar ratings this morning and to her question, I DO have some ideas to save it. The host is always a tricky one because I’m bored of Jimmy Kimmel and Ellen talk-show types, but there’s a familiarity for the audience. My picks would be another By Maria • Apr 27, 2021 03:29 pm
Celebrity Social Media Celebrity Social Media, April 26, 2021 Like The Rock, I opted out of the Oscars.
