Music Lin-Manuel Miranda & Ben Platt Release Found/Tonight Last week I almost caused a traffic accident.

Celebrity Social Media Smutty Social Media, March 21, 2018 Chris Evans isn’t on Instagram… yet. He should join. I’m actually curious as to why he hasn’t as he’s pretty active on Twitter.

Movie Reviews and Previews Tiffany Haddish and some other people Tiffany Haddish, as Duana noted after the Oscars, is a Star. She has It. When Tiffany Haddish is around, all you want to be looking at or listening to is Tiffany Haddish. And she is beginning to have projects built around her, as Stars do, including one called The Kitchen. By Sarah • Mar 21, 2018 01:24 pm
Friday Night Lights Taylor Kitsch on a date? I am still invested in Taylor Kitsch. Even though he can’t seem to catch a break professionally (despite promising trailers and decent reviews, Waco came and went rather quietly), I still care about Taylor Kitsch. Riggins forever. Which means I still care who Taylor Kitsch is or is not By Kathleen • Mar 21, 2018 12:56 pm
Style T’Challa and Pepper Chadwick Boseman and Gwyneth Paltrow were also at the THR Power Stylists event last night. I wrote about THR’s 2018 list earlier today and G’s stylist, Elizabeth Saltzman, who also works with Saoirse Ronan, is ranked 2nd. So that might be the connection with Saoirse’s pink Oscar By Lainey • Mar 21, 2018 12:10 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Can’t catch Jeremy Renner One of the more high-concept (mainstream) comedies in the works is Tag, based on the idiotic but true story of a bunch of guys who played a game of tag for thirty years. Any story that wacky is destined to be optioned, and indeed, the rights were snapped up and By Sarah • Mar 21, 2018 11:17 am
Music Cardi B and #MeToo in hip-hop Cardi B does not fit the mold of the “perfect victim.” The “perfect victim” is not an ex-stripper. She’s not a woman of colour. She doesn’t dress the way Cardi B dresses or talks the way Cardi B talks. We’ve seen it time and time again in By Kathleen • Mar 21, 2018 10:36 am

What Else What Else? I’m too stupid to understand what these live action adaptations will look like. The Lion King, for example, which I’m really excited about – is Donald Glover voicing Simba and is Beyoncé voicing Nala or are they actually acting as animals? But people? If they’re people, how can By Lainey • Mar 20, 2018 04:36 pm

Celebrity Social Media Smutty Social Media, March 20, 2018 This morning, Lainey wrote about Eva Mendes’ new interview with E! News in promotion for her latest New York & Company line. A reader called Lea sent in this video of Eva tying a headwrap for an editor at Harper’s BAZAAR. Eva’s energy is vivacious and very loose. By Maria • Mar 20, 2018 02:42 pm
Quiveration Scarlett & Adam Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver were photographed in New York on Friday working on Noah Baumbach’s new film. A Noah Baumbach film is a good reset for Scarlett. I’d like to see her in a smaller, quieter film. But my first thought when I saw these pictures was By Lainey • Mar 20, 2018 01:05 pm
