We don’t need Bennifer when we have JLo Squared: Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Lewis. These two are friends, and yes I mean real friends and have hung out together multiple times. And JLo isn’t part of the LA gang, she’s not like hiking with Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston.
You know this is genuine because it’s not like Jennifer Lewis could or would fake it. Why would she? People try to impress her, not vice versa.
Lainey wrote about Goop’s current troubles with reporting in Puck, a very reputable publication. Compare it with say, Drew Barrymore at Walmart. Walmart loves Drew and Drew loves Walmart. She has her own air fryer! And while Drew is highly underestimated as a businessperson, she has also spoken about how her ex father-in-law Arie L. Kopelman (who passed away this month) was an executive at Chanel and taught her a lot about the retail business. Jessica Simpson worked very closely with Vince Camuto. Rhode’s CEO worked at The Honest Company and was COO of Clorox. Scott Friedman is CEO of Rare Beauty, he has a long list of experience in that space. You know who is her own CEO? Robyn Rihanna Fenty, CEO of Fenty Beauty. But her SVP MaiLy Pham Kopatsy was at Sephora for nearly a decade.
This is not a coincidence because while there’s a lot of valid criticisms of executives being overpaid, what they bring to the operational side - like vendor connections and the ability to push in-store marketing - isn’t sexy. But in these very, very competitive spaces, it’s necessary.
Solange threw a birthday party for Ms. Tina and everybody dressed up and drank cocktails. Look how grown up Julez is! Do you think Blue gets mad her cousin gets to go to the adult parties and sit at the table with them?
People are absolutely rabid for Adam Brody right now – Erin Foster just dropped a new podcast with him, enjoy.
Liam Neeson kind of hinted about retiring from action films but I think he’s hedging. He also said he’s done with dating. Understandable, and if he doesn’t care to date, that is valid. But, and this is theoretical, who can we Gossip Genie him with? It worked for Martin Short and Meryl Streep and no one can tell me differently. Liam is working with Pamela Anderson right now and he said he adores her. I’m just saying.
