Charli XCX’s Brontë Era
Following its Sundance premiere, the Charli XCX mockumentary The Moment hits theaters this weekend. There was another premiere last night in Los Angeles, well attended because everyone is in town for the Grammys. Charli showed up with Kylie Jenner, which I’m sure a lot of people have big feelings about.
They sort of look like sisters dressed for Halloween???

Chappell Roan was also there, as was Troy Sivan, Demi Lovato, Tove Lo, Avan Jogia, and Meg Stalter. The Moment was generally well received at Sundance, though this is the kind of film where I’m not sure I trust critics, myself included. I think it’ll either work for you, or it won’t, no in between. You either like Charli’s meta schtick, or you don’t. What I know I like for sure is Alexander Skarsgard playing a dippy director. That is some good casting.
Also, Jamie Demetriou is a surefire way to get my butt in a seat. I will literally watch him do anything.
But Charli is moving on from her Brat era and is fully in her Brontë era with her Wuthering Heights concept album. She released the full track list on social media, including at the end of a photo dump on Instagram:
I more or less enjoy Charli’s music, I’m sure at least one of these tracks will be good. Whatever people may think of Emerald Fennell’s visual style, her soundtracks are on point. Entrusting an entire Fennell-film soundtrack to one artist should be interesting. Although let’s be honest, no one is defeating Kate Bush when it comes to songs about Wuthering Heights.
What else happened today…
Walking! The good old-fashioned exercise! For real, though, it is a game changer. I had a blood pressure spike last year and since heart disease is the #1 killer of women and I’m in my 40s now—ladies, check your tickers!—my doctor recommended adding a stupid little walk to my daily routine, on top of my regular yoga class rotation. So I started walking every day for 30 minutes. When that felt too easy, I bumped it up to 40 minutes, now I’m up to 50 minutes every day with weights for added resistance. My blood pressure? The lowest it’s been since my 20s. Walking works! (Popsugar)
The rest of the crew from the Crime 101 premiere the other night. Still laughing about Barry Keoghan’s terrible Beatles hair. (Go Fug Yourself)
Wagner Moura gave a great interview, talking about how dictatorships “happen slowly” (we’ve been on at least a 20-year slide in the US). I am genuinely rooting for him to win Best Actor. Timothee Chalamet will get his Oscar eventually, that is not in doubt, but opportunities like this do not come every day for guys like Wagner Moura. Never mind that his performance is genuinely good! He actually does deserve it on merit! He just also makes it so easy to root for him (at a time when Timmy is making it harder and harder). (Celebitchy)
News just broke that Catherine O’Hara has sadly passed away at age 71. We don’t really do obits here at LaineyGossip, but Catherine O’Hara is a performer who brought us all a lot of joy over the years, from movies like Beetlejuice, Home Alone, The Nightmare on Elm Street, Best In Show and all her work with Christopher Guest. And then there is, of course, her TV work with SCTV, The Studio, and her goddess-tier performance as Moira Rose in Schitt’s Creek. When I need a pick-me-up, supercuts of Moira Rose is one of my go-to rabbit holes.
It’s been a terrible month, let’s go gently into the final weekend of January positively bedeviled with meetings, with the best of Moira Rose. (People)
