What Else What Else? Generally, I don’t support breaking other people’s stuff, but some dipsh-t called Travis Kelce the f-word over the weekend, and Jason Kelce did personal property destruction about it. It happened at Penn State, where Jason was making an appearance for ESPN’s College Game Day. Some By Sarah • Nov 04, 2024 04:17 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Saldaña, Gomez, and Gascón in Emilia Pérez My dislike of musicals is well documented and sometimes people will ask why I dislike musicals, and I now have a succinct answer to that question: Emilia Pérez is why I dislike musicals. Jacques Audiard’s award-winning cinematic musical embodies everything that I don’t like about the form. By Sarah • Nov 04, 2024 03:52 pm
Hugh Grant Everyone is outside We are in the thick of press tour season, because all the holiday movies want to get their press tours out of the way before Americans collectively unbutton our pants for the five weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year’s.

Style Wickediator kicks off Ever since Paramount and Universal doubled down on releasing Gladiator II and Wicked congruently on November 22, the studios have been trying to make a Barbenheimer-style double bill event happen, but it hasn’t really gained any traction. Partly because you can’t force a Barbenheimer situation, but also By Sarah • Nov 04, 2024 10:58 am
Style Ladies outside at LACMA The 13th annual LACMA Art + Film Gala was held in Los Angeles over the weekend. The turnout was good, but maybe not as starry as in recent years? It definitely doesn’t feel like there were as many A-listers this year. Still, the event, which was co-chaired by By Sarah • Nov 04, 2024 10:02 am

What Else What Else? You’ve heard of skorts, jorts, and jeggings, clothes that double duty! But what about clothes that do nothing, serve no purpose, achieve no goals? Well, now there’s something for the underachiever in us all! Introducing useless pants! Useless pants, the pants that don’t keep you warm OR By Sarah • Nov 01, 2024 04:11 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Tom Hanks and Robin Wright in Here Thirty years after Forrest Gump, filmmaker Robert Zemeckis, screenwriter Eric Roth, and stars Tom Hanks and Robin Wright reunite for Here, a bland, mawkish film that takes the “drawing room” part of “drawing room play” incredibly seriously. Roth and Zemeckis collaborate on a script adapting Richard McGuire’s experimental graphic By Sarah • Nov 01, 2024 12:50 pm

Anne Hathaway Intro for November 1, 2024 Dear Gossips, Lainey may hate Halloween, but I don’t. I’m writing this after handing out candy in gale-force winds, nothing keeps me inside on Halloween night, not even a dry hurricane. Halloween also brings out celebrities in force, often in elaborate costumes. But sometimes not! Kirsten Dunst By Sarah • Nov 01, 2024 09:42 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Mikey Madison in Anora Sean Baker’s latest film, Anora, is drawing a lot of comparisons to Pretty Woman, and it’s easy to see why. That film is about a sex worker and a rich man falling (somewhat improbably) in love, a Cinderella story dressed up with contemporary wit. Anora is also about By Sarah • Oct 30, 2024 02:21 pm
