Quiveration The Goldings go home My new Obsession – and yours! – Henry Golding and Liv Lo were home in Singapore for the Crazy Rich Asians premiere the other night. God, these two. It’s too much.

Bad Style Anna & Blake present at the VMAs As Kathleen wrote earlier, the VMAs were a mess last night, and that’s before Madonna paid tribute to herself. The production was sloppy. The shot selection was terrible. I don’t understand this, because MTV isn’t some amateur media outlet. They have the experience…and the budget. Whatever By Lainey • Aug 21, 2018 02:32 pm

Music Cardi B: VMAs darling This mess of a show needed Cardi B. When it was announced that Cardi B would be opening the VMAs, people assumed that meant a performance. They were disappointed when it became clear that Cardi was only going to show up for a charming but anti-climactic baby reveal gag and By Kathleen • Aug 21, 2018 12:18 pm
Music Ariana & Pete’s first carpet I have something to say but I’m afraid to say it: I listened to Ariana Grande’s album Sweetener this weekend. It’s the first time I’ve ever listened to an AG album all the way through. It was… OK. I didn’t hate it. I didn’t By Lainey • Aug 21, 2018 11:35 am
