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

BFFs Jennifer Garner on the Walk of Fame Jennifer Garner received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame yesterday and to mark the occasion, she brought along three people who “define [her]:” her kids Violet, Seraphina and Samuel.

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 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

Quiveration Shawn Mendes in the rain Stage rain. But whatever. It worked for me, and wasn’t that the point?

Even the wardrobe was By Lainey • Aug 21, 2018 10:16 am
Music Jennifer Lopez: A Vanguard in love Jennifer Lopez was the recipient of MTV’s Michael Jackson Video Vanguard award last. She became the first Latin woman to receive the award.

Douchebags Madonna tributes Madonna I don’t need to define “caucacity” for some of you. I feel like I don’t need to define it at all because what Madonna did last night on the VMA stage was such an egregious act of caucacity, it really speaks for itself in this context but if By Kathleen • Aug 21, 2018 09:13 am
Tessa Thompson Intro for August 21, 2018 Dear Gossips, Last week, after Emma Stone’s interview for ELLE by Jennifer Lawrence came out, I posted about how, more and more, especially in major magazines, celebrities are either interviewing themselves (Beyoncé) or interviewing each other and, as much as I love Beyoncé, there’s something that gets lost By Lainey • Aug 21, 2018 08:40 am
What Else What Else? Ohhhh kayyy, EMMA. She’s a repeat champion, FINE. But I’ve just looked at her technique. And she makes her times, great, and crosses the finish line (which some of her competitors can’t seem to manage), but does it count when it’s a chase?! And not a By Lainey • Aug 20, 2018 05:52 pm
Music JLo from the block and her hype man As I’m writing this, Jennifer Lopez is getting ready. Hair and makeup have already started. There will likely be several changes.
