Movie Reviews and Previews Lucy + Taye It’s the romantic comedy pairing I didn’t know I needed. Taye Diggs and Lucy Liu play love interests in the upcoming Netflix rom-com Set It Up and as soon as I saw them on screen together I was like YES, PLEASE WHY DID THIS TAKE SO LONG GOOD By Kathleen • May 16, 2018 02:44 pm
Ben Affleck Lindsay Shookus gets profiled Lindsay Shookus is famous by association. She’s fame-adjacent. I don’t think that’s up for debate. A new feature on Lindsay in ELLE opens with the following line… Lindsay Shookus isn’t famous. Or is she? … and continues with an anecdote about diners at 30 Rockefeller Plaza trying By Kathleen • May 16, 2018 02:10 pm

Celebrity Social Media Smutty Social Media, May 16, 2018 I don’t understand what we are fignting about. Forget Yanny. There is no Yanny. Yanny?! pic.twitter.com/vys4BkwAYb— Zach Braff (@zachbraff) May 16, 2018 There are conflicting reports about which Spice Girls will attend the royal wedding: Page Six is reporting that the two Mels are not invited.

Leonardo DiCaprio Leo is not in Cannes!? I was shocked to see new photos of Leonardo DiCaprio this week – because they weren’t taken in Cannes, but in New York. How is Leo still in New York when Cannes – and all the parties in Cannes – has been underway for a full seven days? There’s time. The By Lainey • May 16, 2018 12:47 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Leighton’s blonde and roses I am still not used to Leighton Meester platinum blonde. It happened in early April and it didn’t become a permanent fact in my mind because I assumed that… she’d go back to the way she always is in my mind, which is not blonde but brunette.

Movie Reviews and Previews Rami Malek nailed it I’ve been writing about the Freddie Mercury movie since my first days at LaineyGossip. Back then, it was a Sacha Baron Cohen vehicle. Then he dropped out, and Rami Malek took over. After that, coverage of this project took a turn as Bryan Singer was named on the Hollywood By Sarah • May 16, 2018 12:14 pm
Cannes 2018 Adam Driver: let’s fight I just wrote about the potential importance of BlacKkKlansman. Adam Driver is in Cannes in support of Spike Lee’s film. I want to establish that I know the serious subject matter of BlacKkKlansman and that I respect it before I go low classy and turn this into a conversation By Kathleen • May 16, 2018 11:47 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansman at Cannes Spike Lee was back at Cannes for the first time since 1991 for Jungle Fever. For his return, Spike premiered his latest joint BlacKkKlansman. The film was received with a 10-minute standing ovation. Critics are calling it Spike’s best film in years. There is even talk that BlacKkKlansman will By Kathleen • May 16, 2018 11:14 am
Cannes 2018 John Travolta’s Cannes hair, Cannes moves We have, over the years, enjoyed reporting on John Travolta’s hair. His hair has been spray-painted, shellacked, and the hairline has gone through some fascinating changes. The colour, for example, was so dark at one point, Elvis Presley would have been jealous. John was in Cannes last night with By Lainey • May 16, 2018 10:33 am
Weddings Amal Clooney’s Met Gala and royal wedding dresses Amal Clooney wore one of the most polarising dresses at the Met Gala. Her Richard Quinn pants-dress combination was a bust for me. Duana, always the contrarian, didn’t hate it at all. Turns out though that that was one of two options for her – and the fact that she By Lainey • May 16, 2018 09:50 am
Maple Leaf Harry & Meghan’s wedding kids I wrote earlier about the British royal family’s ability to “carry on”. And this is what they’re doing, even though there may probably be eight new Thomas Markle developments between now and Saturday. There’s a wedding to focus on. There are plans in place. They are moving By Lainey • May 16, 2018 09:29 am
Royals Thomas Markle not attending royal wedding Like I said yesterday, every few hours there’s a new development. And we are getting every new development from Thomas Markle directly…via TMZ. Yesterday afternoon, Meghan Markle’s father, Thomas, told TMZ that despite the fact that he’d changed his mind earlier in the day and does By Lainey • May 16, 2018 09:13 am
Style Lando and Han on the Croisette Quiet Cannes, right? There was the women’s march, and Kristen Stewart took off her shoes, and Lars Von Trier predictably annoyed everyone, but it’s been relatively quiet, yes? It’s been quiet enough that The Hollywood Reporter ran an article devoted to Cannes’ “decline”. Frankly, it doesn’t By Sarah • May 16, 2018 08:56 am
Intro for May 16, 2018 Dear Gossips, Here’s one advantage to being a time zone ahead of your friends: you wake up to start your day just as they’re ending the previous one and you get to jump in last on a debate. You and your friends are probably having the same one. By Lainey • May 16, 2018 08:24 am
What Else What Else? If you haven’t watched this yet… please do. I am sitting in a hotel room CRYING over this video. Like the way Duana cries – with joy, always with joy! – now whenever Hugh Grant’s name comes up. This is it for me. This is the moment I fell in By Lainey • May 15, 2018 04:01 pm
