A couple years ago, one such film emerged, The Beekeeper, which is just the right combination of bonkers premise and stellar acti…

Officially it’ll be 16 shows but unofficially it’s so much more than that. Because there’s been a daily pre-show when she leaves the hotel and the nightly post-show when she returns to the hotel,…

Is it enough to feel your physical body in space or is every reflection just as much you as you, endless re…

Ortega looks stunning, the dress is so good I don’t even mind the unnecessary hat. The dress is custom Torlowei, for the record.…

No details about that have come out, and I haven’t gone looking for them. It’s obviously something major, and Reeves and his family deserve their privac…

I continue to be a little baffled by that move, because while I c…

First off, Jesse knows everyone so he has an interesting roster of guests and second, I kind of like ho…
- [Skyler and Austin Autumn](https://www.laineygossip.com/skyler-gisondo-and-austin-abrams-are-having-career-years.md) - Here at LaineyGossip, it’s been Maria who has been predicting the rise of Skyler Gisondo, anticipating for over a year that Skyler, who’s been scene-stealing for years now, would break out in a big way very soon. As she put it, he is “Walton Goggins for people who grew up with home internet”. Skyle…

While I am deeply skeptical that we need another Mummy movie—the 1999 The Mummy is nearly perfect and every sequel was a case of diminishing returns—thanks to Brendan Fraser’s career resurgence,…

The press tour has started and has already been hijacked by a REAL star: Jenna Ortega’s dog, Twigs. Ortega stars as the eponymous Klara, a robot friend in the future. The movie looks maybe good? Taika’s on a weird streak. His…
- [Olivia and her Wicker man (ft. William Shatner)](https://www.laineygossip.com/alexander-skarsgard-olivia-colman-really-seem-to-enjoy-each-other-at-the-new-york-screening-of-wicker.md) - Wicker, the “raunchy” rom-com starring Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgard is, er, coming at the end of the month. Press has begun, and there was a screening last night in New York. Alexander Skarsgard showed up wearing his most normal outfit in recent memory, along with Olivia Colman, who is spo…
- [Celebrity Social Media, October 14, 2026](https://www.laineygossip.com/simu-liu-allison-hsus-wedding-in-france-looked-dramatic-posh.md) - Simu Liu and Allison Hsu got married at a chateau in France – the photos are really dramatic and posh. Woody Harrelson is in one of the pictures (he did a reading) and the bride wore a dress designed by her sisters, who own the bridal line, Nicole + Felicia. Now let’s talk about the music: Renee Ra…
- [Greta Gerwig’s colorful Narnia is here](https://www.laineygossip.com/first-trailer-for-greta-gerwigs-narnia-the-magicians-nephew-looks-cool-and-psychedelic.md) - One of Netflix’s biggest gambles of all time comes in February of next year in the form of Greta Gerwig’s first post-Barbie project, Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew. The trailer dropped yesterday, and it is certainly fantastical and colorful. I would have really liked to have an upbeat, family-friend…
- [All adventurous women do](https://www.laineygossip.com/where-will-we-find-hannah-marnie-shoshanna-jessa-in-return-of-hbo-girls.md) - Whether you consider Lena Dunham the voice of a generation, or just “a voice” of “a generation”, or just a hack, it can’t be denied: she has pop culture power. Since Girls premiered, Lena Dunham has been the topic of endless conversation, a one-woman think-piece cottage industry. Is she a feminist?…
- [Pedro before Behemoth!](https://www.laineygossip.com/what-are-pedro-pascals-oscar-odds-for-behemoth-in-unusually-competitive-year-for-best-actor.md) - One of my lingering question marks for awards season is Behemoth!, the film about film composers written and directed by Tony Gilroy and starring Pedro Pascal. It premiered a couple weeks ago at the New York Film Festival to generally positive reviews, but so far, it doesn’t seem like it’s blowing…
- [Intro for October 14, 2026](https://www.laineygossip.com/keri-russell-and-allison-janney-promoting-the-diplomats-fourth-season-are-the-balm-my-tired-spirit-needs.md) - Dear Gossips, I am still so mad about Shane Gillis hosting SNL for the THIRD time and continuing to be SO bad it—like literally each of his monologues is TERRIBLE—and like Lainey, I am clinging to Rosalía’s performances as an all-time highlight. (Related, have you seen Rosalía’s performance of “Ber…
- [Jacob Tierney doesn’t hold back](https://www.laineygossip.com/how-jacob-tierney-spending-the-cultural-capital-hes-accumulated-over-the-last-year.md) - Jacob Tierney may not be as famous as Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie but even beyond the Heated Rivalry fandom, he is known for his work, for adapting Rachel Reid’s book into a smash television hit. While most of the attention to do with HR is around Hudson and Connor, Jacob’s in the spotlight…

It just doesn’t work on Instagram or Threads or TikTok. "I mean, it's a one-of-a-kind singing and dancing bird automaton, Michael. What could it cost? $15,000?" pic.twitter.com/ZAWlSbpZuC —…

Between Ella Langley’s megahit “Choosin’ Texas” and Olivia Dea…
- [MC’s MUSIC LOUNGE: Slayyyter Rises](https://www.laineygossip.com/mcs-music-lounge-the-world-catching-up-to-slayyyter.md) - Once considered an underground pop artist mostly famous to queer audiences, Slayyyter has risen in the pop world going toe-to-toe with some of today’s biggest artists on both the top 40 radio and streaming charts. After her viral hit “DANCE…” blew up earlier this year along with the release of her…
- [A Deep Cut Romance](https://www.laineygossip.com/how-does-deep-cuts-marketing-team-feel-about-co-stars-cailee-spaeny-drew-starkey-dating-in-real-life.md) - Cailee Spaeny was seen in New York yesterday on the set of Deep Cuts, the film adaptation of Canadian author Holly Brickley’s bestselling book. It’s a good, quick read – about two people who are brought together and then torn apart by music. This is a classic soundtrack friend and love story, cinem…
- [MV85 LFG](https://www.laineygossip.com/vibes-are-vibing-pastels-are-pastel-ing-in-new-photos-from-set-of-miami-vice-85.md) - I like this thing that studios are doing just as production begins on a film – sharing footage from the screen test process as the actors begin to find their characters and their performances through their wardrobes. It helps to build anticipation for the project but also they often time it just ah…
- [Intro for October 13, 2026](https://www.laineygossip.com/how-rosalia-lived-up-to-themes-in-album-lux-with-extraordinary-snl-performance.md) - Dear Gossips, In addition to the unfunny, lazy, and offensively bad jokes that the audience had to endure on Saturday Night Live this weekend, delivered by a host who Lorne Michaels obstinately insists on inviting back (because he’s the ultimate instigating troll), one of the other downsides is tha…
- [Here comes John Malkovich](https://www.laineygossip.com/will-john-malkovich-dominate-awards-season-with-wild-horse-nine.md) - Programming note: it’s Canadian Thanksgiving on Monday. We’ll resume on the site on Tuesday but as always, we’ll keep the chat threads going on The Squawk. Join us there! The BFI London Film Festival is happening, which is the stop on the trophy trail that best serves the BAFTAs. The premiere of Ma…
- [Chloe Grace Moretz is back with a rom-com](https://www.laineygossip.com/this-years-sacrificial-october-rom-com-is-love-language-starring-chloe-grace-moretz.md) - It’s October! It’s spooky season! You know what that means…it’s time for a rom-com! Seriously, there’s a history of romantic comedies coming out in October. I clocked it first twenty years ago with Sweet Home Alabama, when I spent half the film pondering the October timing (because I was bored), an…
- [Celebrity Social Media, October 9, 2026](https://www.laineygossip.com/did-ted-lasso-season-4-writers-give-hannah-waddingham-and-jason-sudeikis-so-few-scenes-together-on-purpose.md) - There’s a segment of the very passionate Ted Lasso fandom that ships Hannah Waddingham’s character Rebecca and Ted together. Now that season 4 is complete, a few sleuths analyzed how much screen time the two shared (not much). I wonder if this is kind of a reverse fan service, like the writers were…
- [Crazy Rich Chinamaxxing](https://www.laineygossip.com/crazy-rich-asians-the-series-announced-as-chinamaxxing-goes-full-mainstream.md) - It was announced yesterday that the Crazy Rich Asians sequel has been greenlit as a series on HBO. The film came out in 2018, becoming the highest-grossing rom-com of its decade, opening at #1 at the box office with around $30 million domestically, and ending up at almost $250 million globally afte…

Now, Sorkin is back with a sequel-ish film, The Social Reckoning, and this time there is no Davi…
- [Zendaya and her pixie in Paris](https://www.laineygossip.com/is-zendaya-shopping-for-dune-part-three-press-tour-looks-in-paris.md) - Paris Fashion Week is over, but Zendaya is still in town and still serving face with that pixie cut that is making everyone long for short hair, like Halle Berry before her. She was seen shopping at Prada, which could be just another Thursday, or it could maybe be looking for Dune looks? The Dune:…
- [Intro for October 9, 2026](https://www.laineygossip.com/how-will-esquire-cover-star-glen-powell-bounce-back-from-the-running-mans-flop.md) - Dear Gossips, Glen Powell is on the cover of Esquire’s October issue, because JJ Abram’s The Great Beyond, in which he stars, was supposed to hit theaters in November, only it got moved to October 2027, taking over The Batman Part II’s original(ish) release date (that movie might legit be cursed).…
- [CZJ is doing press too](https://www.laineygossip.com/catherine-zeta-jones-gives-excellent-answer-when-asked-if-shes-read-michael-douglass-book.md) - Interesting timing – Michael Douglas has been promoting his memoir, One Helluva Ride. Every couple of days or so there’s a new revelation, most of it has to do with his sex life. Like how he and Kathleen Turner had an affair while they were filming Romancing the Stone but he was still technically m…
- [All of Jessica Chastain’s Horrors](https://www.laineygossip.com/jessica-chastain-giving-horror-genre-her-full-respect-with-new-movie-other-mommy.md) - Jessica Chastain was at Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night to promote her movie Other Mommy, opening this weekend, and I will not be seeing it because I am not built for that kind of fright – but I do LOVE that she’s a scream queen, a proud scream queen, a scream queen before her Oscar and a scream quee…

Rare Beauty is doing extremely well and over the summer, Samsonite acquired a majority ownership of BÉIS, with Shay Mitchell staying on as chief brand officer. Going into luggage while mo…
- [The Debut in theatre kid central](https://www.laineygossip.com/jesse-eisenberg-has-never-been-as-engaging-and-accepting-of-himself-as-he-his-with-the-debut.md) - As I’ve already mentioned a number of times, The Debut was my favourite film of TIFF 2026. I LOVE this movie SO MUCH, to the point where it became my festival personality – all I wanted to do was talk to people about The Debut, perhaps to verify that the thrill I experienced while watching it was l…
- [Zoe Kazan’s East of Eden stands on its own](https://www.laineygossip.com/television-review-zoe-kazans-east-of-eden-stands-on-its-own.md) - East of Eden is one of John Steinbeck’s seminal American classics; a biblical allegory dressed up in family feathers; a love letter to California’s Salinas Valley; and a warning to America to choose its destiny a little bit better (no one listened, lol). In 1955, Elia Kazan directed a film adaptati…
- [Sebastian Maniscalco and the Sirius comedy mess](https://www.laineygossip.com/how-sebastian-maniscalco-says-hes-addressing-concerns-over-his-takeover-siriusxms-raw-comedy-channel.md) - Sebastian Maniscalco is setting the record straight after fellow comedians caused an uproar following his takeover of SiriusXM’s Raw Comedy channel, formerly known as channel 99.

For 23 years, established and emerging designers from across Canada are invited to design one-of-a-kind pieces made out of a bathroom tissue in support of the breast cancer cause. Cancer, unfortunately, has…
- [Noah Centineo is Street Fighter now](https://www.laineygossip.com/noah-centineo-has-moved-past-teen-boy-peter-kavinsky-image-to-become-street-fighter.md) - The Street Fighter hype has completely missed me until today. I was never into the video game beyond having to listen to my friends talk about it so it makes sense that the movie hasn’t infiltrated my algorithm and that I’ve been barely aware that it’s about to come out. So when I saw new photos of…
- [Ben and Kerry do good press](https://www.laineygossip.com/is-kerry-washington-ben-afflecks-chemistry-in-netflixs-animals-as-good-as-it-is-in-real-life.md) - Ben Affleck and Kerry Washington have been all over my feed for at least a week now as they promote their new movie, Animals, arriving on Netflix on October 9. Kerry plays Abigail to Ben’s Mark Kimball, who is running for mayor when their son is kidnapped. It’s a thriller but, it sounds like, a med…

Any time there’s a big real estate move like this it brings up the questions…. she’s been married a very long time and her husband is not mentioned in the pull quotes. But there’s a li…

The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping opens in six weeks and…
- [Intro for October 7, 2026](https://www.laineygossip.com/these-are-all-the-clever-ways-sense-and-sensibility-marketing-team-promoting-their-film.md) - Dear Gossips, Ang Lee’s sumptuous 1995 film, Sense and Sensibility, is widely considered to be a gold standard for Jane Austen adaptations. As Sarah often says, though, every generation deserves their version of Austen – and they’re getting it this fall in theatres and on television. Netflix’s Prid…

Here’s what it looked like the first t…

Some people think it’s embarrassing, but I read it completely differently – Owens’ trajectory in the NFL has included injuries and cuts, it has been a grind. His work ethic and tenac…

They only heard their voices. The premise of the show was a combination of Making The Band and The Voice, and the result was a set of strong vocalists. The western…
- [Here comes Artificial](https://www.laineygossip.com/luca-guadagninos-artificial-making-a-lot-more-noise-than-aaron-sorkins-the-social-reckoning.md) - Aaron Sorkin’s The Social Reckoning, about Meta and Mark Zuckerberg and whistle blowing, opens this Friday. Reviews are embargoed until tomorrow but from the early reactions that I’ve seen so far, the most common description is that it’s “solid”. Solid is good, but it is not spectacular, and I say…
