Celebrity Social Media Smutty Social Media, August 2, 2018 Have you heard of Cameo? It’s a service that allows people to book personalized celebrity shout-outs for a nominal fee. They have 1400 “celebrities” on their roster (I use this phrase loosely because on a quick scroll, I didn’t recognize 95% of the names, but I don’t By Maria • Aug 02, 2018 01:08 pm
Amazingness Leslie, Brie, and the DVD As mentioned yesterday in the Sebastian Stan post, Avengers: Infinity War is now available on DVD. Which means the 19 people who didn’t see it in theatres can finally catch up on what they missed. One of those people, apparently, hilariously, is Leslie Jones.

Music Mariticide is the new black I read a lot of fiction novels, and lately I’ve noticed a pattern: dead husbands. Men who are brought down (physically, or socially and financially) by an underestimated woman. This isn’t new, of course. Some of the biggest books of the decade have centered around a woman who By Maria • Aug 02, 2018 11:42 am
BFFs Taylor, Karlie, and Harry I wanted to use these photos of Taylor Swift yesterday in New York so, while figuring out what to write in this post, I noticed that the first link in the google carousel was this headline at Cosmopolitan: Karlie Kloss Hung Out with Harry Styles, and Taylor Swift Fans Are By Lainey • Aug 02, 2018 11:05 am
Tiffany Haddish Put Tiffany Haddish in Wonder Woman Really just put Tiffany Haddish in All The Things, but when Vogue asked her “what’s a role you’d love to take on” as part of their “73 Questions” series, Haddish responded, “Wonder Woman’s sister”. Wonder Woman does have a black twin sister, Nubia, so this is ENTIRELY By Sarah • Aug 02, 2018 10:24 am
Dumbass The James Gunn Saga This f-ckin’ mess. On July 20, the shocking news broke that James Gunn was fired by Disney, to be immediately removed from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which he was writing/directing. It’s an exhausting story that involves the alt-right and America’s ongoing culture war—here’s By Sarah • Aug 02, 2018 09:59 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for August 2, 2018 Dear Gossips, I’m not trying to be dramatic but yesterday morning, when The Hollywood Reporter posted its new Crazy Rich Asians cover and story, my hands started shaking. Seeing people who look like me or my family, who are more likely to have our shared experience, on the cover By Lainey • Aug 02, 2018 09:30 am
What Else What Else? Here’s why I believe this story about Tom Cruise not cruising online for porn. Because I don’t think he uses the internet. Like my immigrant parents. Actually, no. My dad uses the internet. But he’s the one who keeps sending email chain jokes and I’m pretty By Lainey • Aug 01, 2018 05:11 pm
Lifestyle Duana Names: Therein Lies The Paradox Hey Duana! (My cousin) and her husband have been obsessing over names for their 2nd baby girl, due in August, and are really stuck. I've tried to jump in with suggestions, but really nothing feels "just right." They have a 2 year old, Alivia Nicole, and By Duana • Aug 01, 2018 04:20 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Sebastian Stan and Bucky’s romper Posting about Sebastian Stan has become unexpectedly contentious here on this blog. Sarah saw him first and Kathleen saw him later and they end up yelling at each other on Twitter about it and then I have to pull them apart. So I’m doing this one – Sebastian Stan in By Lainey • Aug 01, 2018 04:10 pm
Quiveration Glen Powell shows his work By now you’ve seen Set It Up, right? Back in the day, rom-coms made stars out of actors. That stopped happening but… could it start happening again? Will it happen for Glen Powell? Glen’s been working steadily the last few years. And he’s worked in some high-profile By Lainey • Aug 01, 2018 03:35 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews WTF is Tom Hardy saying Lainey emailed me about the new Venom trailer with this note about Tom Hardy’s acting choices: “Why does he always have to play characters where you can’t understand what the f*ck he’s saying?” Tom Hardy loves to do silly voices, as he always does one. He By Sarah • Aug 01, 2018 02:26 pm
What Else Smutty Social Media, August 1, 2018 I have been reading, and re-reading, The Ringers “The 100 Best TV Episodes of the Century”. A lot of it I agree with (like “Bitch Slap” and “Forgive and Forget”). I would have chosen different for The Sopranos, The Walking Dead, Friday Night Lights, Game of Thrones, Lost and Breaking By Maria • Aug 01, 2018 01:41 pm
Music Even JLo knows Jennifer Lopez will receive the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award on August 20th at the VMAs. If you were paying attention last year when Pink was awarded this honour, you know that I was not impressed. I am still not impressed. I will not rest until MTV puts some respect By Kathleen • Aug 01, 2018 01:08 pm
Style Gemma Chan: meet your new obsession Everyone I know who’s seen Crazy Rich Asians came out of there obsessed with Gemma Chan. It was inevitable. This is why when I wrote about the trailer back in April, I noted that it was low on Astrid, her character, deliberately. Rachel Chu, played by Constance Wu, is By Lainey • Aug 01, 2018 12:08 pm
Gross Millie Bobby Brown breaks up No. Nope. NO. This is not happening. 14-year-olds do not need to release breakup statements on social media. This is not going to become a trend. NOPE. Not on my watch. The breakup of a 14-year-old is not newsworthy, even if that 14-year-old is famous. Celebrity breakup statements are Good By Kathleen • Aug 01, 2018 11:25 am
