Maple Leaf The Shawn Mendes MMVAs As I mentioned in the open, the iHeart Radio MMVAs have always attracted emerging talent, especially Canadian talent. Shawn Mendes is a great example. Here’s Shawn at the 2014 MMVAs, just as he was kicking off his ascent: Look at the crowd behind him. Those faces. They’re turned By Lainey • Aug 27, 2018 11:09 am
Break Ups World War Brange: bring down the “saint” Over the last few months, as we’ve seen, in the escalation of World War Brange, it’s been clear which side is favouring which media outlet. TMZ and Page Six have been undeniably pro-Pitt. Page Six’s approach has been most interesting, starting when they pulled the story about By Lainey • Aug 27, 2018 10:02 am
BFFs Kaylor is unbroken For almost a year now people have been wondering whether or not Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss are still friends. This has been especially hard for people who believe in #Kaylor – that they’re actually secret lovers and the men in their lives are just a cover for the real By Lainey • Aug 27, 2018 09:25 am
Intro for August 27, 2018 Dear Gossips, The iHeartRadio MMVAs are a Canadian summer tradition. This is a major music awards show that takes over an entire city block in Toronto, kids line up for days for their wristbands, they pack the parking lot where the stage is mounted, the energy is amazing. Over the By Lainey • Aug 27, 2018 08:55 am
What Else What Else? Look. I know that I’m pretty conservative when it comes to nail design. And I am, at the same time, very big into nails. I have a standing nail appointment every week. My nails are always in good shape. Duana always gets upset that I can make a manicure By Lainey • Aug 24, 2018 03:11 pm

Equality Issues Who’s Gonna Watch You The Affair, Season 4. My feeling at the end of Season 4 of The Affair, beyond that it was bleak, and beyond the Ruth Wilson Cryptogram, was that we now officially have less than we started with. That is, for all the risks they took and all the passion and By Duana • Aug 24, 2018 02:45 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews John Cho in Searching Movies that break out at Sundance—or any festival—don’t always live up to the hype, but I am glad to say that is not the case with Searching. Aneesh Chaganty’s thriller is as good as advertised, being both a stellar suspense flick and a fantastic leading performance By Sarah • Aug 24, 2018 01:50 pm
Lifestyle Sasha Finds: Uber High Rise Jeans I have and always will be a high waisted denim girl. I don’t know how people do any other style. Not only does it create the illusion of a longer leg but you can tuck in all the side stomach juice. Again, how do you do any other style? By Sasha • Aug 24, 2018 01:04 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Happytime Murders is aggressively mediocre You may have heard that The Happytime Murders, the R-rated puppet noir starring Melissa McCarthy, is getting hammered with bad reviews. It’s currently standing at 27% on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s the worst movie of the year or it’s the worst movie ever, depending on who you ask. By Sarah • Aug 24, 2018 12:08 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Debra Messing's Outfit of the Week The reason this is the OOTW is because the Little Black Dress has always been a great outfit and probably no other outfit will have as much endurance. And Debra Messing’s LBD is pretty special. The high collar, at least, is special to me. I’m so happy the By Lainey • Aug 24, 2018 11:48 am
Celebrity Social Media Smutty Social Media, August 24, 2018 Awkwafina is hosting the iHeart Radio MMVAs this weekend in Toronto. This is the main reason I’m going. Next reason: Shawn Mendes. WHAT?! Anyway, maybe she’ll meet someone in Toronto who doesn’t order steak well done. As she says, “WHO DOES THIS?” Answer: Elvis Presley. Elvis is By Lainey • Aug 24, 2018 11:37 am
Pete Davidson Pete Davidson’s fiction to fact BDE At the risk of sounding like an asshole…no… I will sound like a asshole so there’s no risk, it just is… one of the best things about my job, not just as a blogger but as someone who writes sh-t and tells stories for a living, is that By Lainey • Aug 24, 2018 11:20 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Down the #TATBILB rabbit hole Lainey and I haven’t sent a text to each other this week that wasn’t about To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before. We have major Peter Kavinsky problems. I’ve watched the movie so many times I’ve decided that Netflix should have an instant replay button. By Kathleen • Aug 24, 2018 10:49 am
Quiveration MBJ felt left out Yesterday, I wrote that the majority of the space in my brain reserved for crushes in the past week has been dedicated to Peter Kavinsky. I think Michael Bae Jordan was paying attention. It’s the only explanation for why he posted a two part Instagram video of himself, in By Kathleen • Aug 24, 2018 10:13 am
