Movie Reviews and Previews Jon Hamm in Beirut Beirut is a period piece political thriller that doesn’t need to be period and is weirdly unconcerned with how its politics read in 2018. With a script by Tony Gilroy (of the Bourne franchise, Rogue One’s infamous reshoots, and, most importantly, THE CUTTING EDGE), and directed by Brad By Sarah • Apr 20, 2018 12:21 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews Chris Evans picks up the slack Chris Evans is currently on Broadway, which means he is excused from most of the Avengers: Infinity War press. (He is expected at the premiere on Monday, which means he will still be rocking That Mustache. He’s going to look like that at the Avengers premiere.) But! A Marvel By Sarah • Apr 20, 2018 10:27 am
Scandal The Final Scandal Olivia Pope’s walk is impressive. It commands respect and attention. Olivia Pope doesn’t just walk, she stomps. She powers through hallways and struts down sidewalks.

Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: A 20 minute, barefoot workout I’m off for a little solo R&R this week on the beaches of Croatia and as much as I love to run while I’m on vacation my carryon is filled with shoes to drink and eat in, not workout in. Luckily I have just enough room By Hayley • Apr 19, 2018 04:31 pm
Royals Meghan & Harry made the list As previously mentioned in the Crazy Rich Asians post, TIME released the TIME 100 list today and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are both on it, under the “Leaders” category, hilariously right next to Donald Trump.

Girlcrushes Letitia Wright: Infinity War’s MVP If anyone was going to make me cry before 10am this morning, it was going to be Letitia Wright. Letitia Wright makes me emotional all the time.

Relationship Assumption Knowing Dr Oxman Brad Pitt and Neri Oxman, artist, architect, academic, may or may not be dating. Over the last couple of weeks, “sources” connected to Brad haven’t done much to change the “may or may not” description of whatever is happening between them. And, remember, it’s not like celebrities aren’ By Lainey • Apr 19, 2018 12:53 pm

Weddings Gwyneth on Broadway Gwyneth Paltrow was in San Francisco last night for the Pre-Broadway opening Head Over Heels. It’s a musical set to songs by The Go-Go’s about an aristocrat family in Elizabethan times. That totally sounds like her jam, right? Period pieces and 80s music. She is one of the By Lainey • Apr 19, 2018 11:19 am
