Movie Reviews and Previews Book Club: The middle-aged rom-com we need Based on its trailer, Book Club looks like a fake movie from an SNL sketch.

Lifestyle Sasha Finds: Honey Bronze Drops of Sun Dudes, I'm super excited about this new product I just discovered. It's SO damn good. And I found it at...wait for it...The Body Shop.

Movie Reviews and Previews Solo isn’t bad, it’s also not necessary After all the behind-the-scenes drama and production strife, Solo: A Star Wars Story turned out okay. Better than okay—parts of it are really good. Unlike Rogue One, which bears the Frankensteinian scars of a multiple-director vision, Solo is cohesive from beginning to end, tonally and narratively consistent. Despite its By Sarah • May 25, 2018 03:07 pm
Royals Royal Wedding Dress Shade! So Meghan Markle’s wedding dress was designed by Clare Waight Keller for Givenchy. And it was a very well-kept secret. Clare and Givenchy weren’t mentioned in the weeks leading up to the wedding. As my colleague Traci Melchor would say, the Daily Mail came out wrong and strong By Lainey • May 25, 2018 02:50 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Cate Blanchett's Outfit of the Week Holy sh-t, this suit is amazing. Is it a suit? Yes. It’s … a f-cking track suit. Right? It’s a track suit and a business suit at the same time. Because… zipper! I mean, I wouldn’t mind it as a business suit either. It could definitely work as By Lainey • May 25, 2018 02:28 pm
Bad Hair Lucy Liu is blonde and Asian hair colour Lucy Liu was at the Obie Awards the other day and her hair is now blonde. There’s a blonde Asian trend happening right now.

Relationship Assumption Nicki and Marshall, sitting in a tree Yes, I’m 5. But I don’t really know how to react to the “news” that Nicki Minaj and Eminem are dating.

Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Three Circuits You don’t need much time or equipment to give yourself a full body workout, so there really is no excuse not to exercise. However, my problem with a lot of the “at home” or “limited equipment” workouts is that they tend to be a bit on the easy side By Hayley • May 25, 2018 01:28 pm
Celebrity Social Media Smutty Social Media, May 25, 2018 Amy Schumer is starting a podcast about “pop culture, politics and the world of stand-up comedy”. I’m prejudging it because I don’t think Amy Schumer has the critical eye for talking about pop culture, which includes gossip. She can punch down for sure, but can she’s also By Maria • May 25, 2018 12:42 pm
Music Zayn’s “mysterious” rollout Zayn Malik has been teasing the rollout of his new album as “mysterious” and “different than anything anyone has done before.” So far, he’s released a lead single called “Let Me” with an accompanying (and embarrassingly bad) music video and now we have the follow up single, “Entertainer,” complete By Kathleen • May 25, 2018 12:25 pm
Royals Royal Meghan’s Coat of Arms Well, sh-t. I totally forgot about this. For many non-royal people, getting married involves a lot of planning – the ceremony, the rings, the dress, etc etc etc. For Meghan Markle, getting married also involved the design of her own royal letterhead and her coat of arms, both of which were By Lainey • May 25, 2018 11:45 am

Baby and Bump Obsession Normal Blue Ivy If I had to choose a few words to sum up Blue Ivy Carter, the first ones wouldn’t be “normal” or “regular” or “relatable”. I’d probably choose words like “extraordinary”, “celestial”, or “prodigy”. Blue Ivy Carter is not like other six-year-olds. Her parents are two of the greatest By Kathleen • May 25, 2018 10:32 am
