What Else What Else? God bless Michael K every day and definitely today for thinking of Little Edie on the Fourth of July. This is an iconic moment in cinema. To be fair, the film itself is iconic. It’s been a couple of years for me. And I now I really want to By Lainey • Jul 04, 2018 04:54 pm
Lifestyle Duana Names: Hello From The Other Side Hi Duana! Or, 'Hello again'? I'm writing to you for baby #2, after writing you a very convoluted letter for baby #1 in 2016. I just reread it for the first time since receiving your response...boy were we confused. But alas, our little Joshua Montgomery By Duana • Jul 04, 2018 04:39 pm
Relationship Assumption Billy & Naomi’s Paris PDA Does that sound like the title of a Rachel Cohn/David Levithan book, only much less clever? The subjects are just as cute too. And I feel like a scene like this could totally happen. Here are Billy Crudup and Naomi Watts at Charles de Gaulle in Paris this week. By Lainey • Jul 04, 2018 04:26 pm
Music Justin Timberlake’s “SoulMate” It’s a little late for submissions for Song of the Summer but Justin Timberlake decided to shoot his shot any way. His new song “SoulMate” (why is it spelled like this, haven’t we suffered enough?) dropped yesterday for no other reason than that JT clearly thinks this song By Kathleen • Jul 04, 2018 03:41 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The First Purge stumbles into a point I have, generally, liked the Purge movies.

Movie Reviews and Previews Take a break with Ant-Man and the Wasp Look, no one is going to argue that Ant-Man and/or the Wasp are Marvel’s most beloved, most important, or most well-known characters. No one is going to defend the Ant-Man franchise as one of the jewels of Marvel’s crown. I’m not even going to defend Ant-Man By Sarah • Jul 04, 2018 01:22 pm
Dumbass Scarlett Johansson doubles down Deadline reported yesterday that Scarlett Johansson and Rupert Sanders are working together again on a film called Rub & Tug, based on the real life story of Dante “Tex” Gill.

Quiveration Glen Powell > Miles Teller Yesterday, Sarah wrote about Top Gun: Maverick and the disappointing news that Miles “kind of a dick” Teller beat out Nicholas Hoult and Glen Powell for the role of Goose Jr. How do you choose MILES TELLER over Glen Powell AND Nicholas Hoult?

Intro for July 4, 2018 Dear Gossips, Kathleen told me yesterday that she’d sent an article over to Duana that she hadn’t shared with me which I completely understood because it’s about musical theatre. But then she changed her mind because it’s not just about musical theatre but musical theatre teens. By Lainey • Jul 04, 2018 10:04 am

Weddings Vanessa, freshly married Vanessa Paradis married director Samuel Benchetrit just outside of Paris this weekend. Daily Mail has photos here. I LOVE her look.

Celebrity Social Media Smutty Social Media, July 3, 2018 This is interesting – a possible thirst trap. But is Jenny setting it for Riz or is Riz setting it for Jenny? They are working on a movie so I’m sure it’s totally above board, professional friendliness and nothing else. But it would be delightful, wouldn’t it? (Thank By Maria • Jul 03, 2018 01:15 pm
