TV Updates The Acolyte Don’t Say “Skywalker” Challenge May 4th, also known as Star Wars Day because “may the fourth be with you” and all that, fell over the weekend, and I totally blanked on it. Star Wars as a narrative universe has so consistently failed to do anything interesting since its reemergence under Disney that I have By Sarah • May 08, 2024 09:24 am
Met Gala 2024 Sleeping Boy Beauties with a side of chips Sebastian Stan showed up at the Met Gala and a bunch of us gasped because he has us locked in his tractor beam of hotness despite being deep into his scumbag era. He showed up with slicked-back hair, sunglasses, and flower decals on his black duster, looking like the villain By Sarah • May 07, 2024 01:41 pm
Met Gala 2024 The Fairytale Crowd Like I said before, the broadness of the Met Gala theme stymied many attendees. Some played with the concepts of gardens/flowers or time, others leaned into the fairytale aspect of the “Sleeping Beauties” museum exhibit. It made for a muddled presentation in where there was little consistency on the By Sarah • May 07, 2024 09:48 am
Oscars 2024 A Sheer Roundup I HATE saying this, but I think my biggest disappointment of the night was Lily Gladstone. She’s had SUCH a good red carpet run ever since the Cannes premiere of Killers of the Flower Moon last year, I had high hopes for her first trip to the Met Gala. By Sarah • May 07, 2024 08:31 am
Met Gala 2024 Shiny happy people I owe Lainey an apology. We were discussing the Met Gala theme—“Garden of time” to go with the “Sleep Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” exhibit in the museum—and she was down on it, predicting a boring event. I, however, defended it, hopeful that a broad, accessible theme might lead more By Sarah • May 07, 2024 07:31 am
Met Gala 2024 Met Gala couple speculation The Met Gala is tonight and I am already in Met-Mode, because I am just assuming that any celebrity in New York at this point is going to the Met Gala. Like, Dua Lipa hosted SNL this weekend—it was a mediocre episode but Dua was game, and I especially By Sarah • May 06, 2024 11:35 am
What Else What Else? Maya Rudolph is a rich person playing a richer person on the series Loot, and she looks appropriately rich on the cover of Town & Country, a magazine that aspires to be for the richest people. (Go Fug Yourself) It’s Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month—because a By Sarah • May 03, 2024 04:06 pm
TV Updates Benedict Cumberbatch is back It seems like we haven’t seen Benedict Cumberbatch for a while, which isn’t true—Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness came out in 2022, and he was in two of Wes Anderson’s Oscar-winning Roald Dahl shorts last year, as well as Jeymes Samuel’s The Book By Sarah • May 03, 2024 01:04 pm
TV Updates John Mulaney is in LA The Netflix Is A Joke comedy festival kicks off this weekend and one of the centerpiece events is a six-part live special called John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s In L.A., hosted by John Mulaney.

Movie Reviews and Previews Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt in The Fall Guy Literally since the dawn of cinema, action stunts have been a key part of the art form. Early movie stars were also stunt men, such as Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd, and the first hit film is arguably 1903’s The Great Train Robbery, one of the first action movies.

Pharrell Williams Pharrell’s Tiffany takeover Pharrell is launching a new line of jewelry with Tiffany & Co. called “Tiffany Titan”, and there was a debut event last night in New York, where I presume at least half of these guests will be at the Met Gala on Monday.

Ryan Gosling Intro for May 3, 2024 Dear Gossips, We have been talking a LOT about Ryan Gosling over the last year, his Kennification and how he’s carrying his Kenergy forward into new projects like The Fall Guy (which is very much the action figure version of Ken). But we haven’t actually talked about what By Sarah • May 03, 2024 09:23 am
