Music Beyoncé & Jay-Z: the Oscar party and a new tour? Maria wrote in the previous post about Beyoncé’s recent avocado Instagrams and why they felt so … not Beyoncé, what with the exclamation points and the use of actual words. Over the years, I have given Beyoncé my money. A lot of money. I’ve bought albums, concert tickets, tour By Lainey • Mar 06, 2018 11:58 am
Celebrity Lifestyle Brands Beyoncé’s Avocado Toast In May of 2015, I wrote about Beyoncé and Jay-Z partnering with 22 Days Nutrition. Since then, I’ve heard very little about 22 Days and have yet to have anyone tell me they have used the service. But even before that partnership was made public, I wondered if Beyoncé By Maria • Mar 06, 2018 10:44 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for March 6, 2018 Dear Gossips, What did you think of the set at the Oscars? It was gorgeous, right? They used 45 million Swarovski crystals – more details here with online reaction. The set was definitely not a problem. I didn’t, however, love how some of the shots were set up. They were By Lainey • Mar 06, 2018 10:17 am
Style The Tiffany Haddish Problem Behold my Tiffany Haddish problem: If we write about everything Tiffany Haddish did that was amazing and exciting last night, we will be here for 2500 years. It was only a four hour show! Counting the carpet, five. I guess. But even within that time – when Tiffany Haddish was a By Duana • Mar 05, 2018 04:57 pm
Style Nicole Kidman’s Oscar art Earlier when I was writing about Gal Gadot’s one dress, and I shared that thought with Duana and Kathleen, Duana argued that most people have one dress, citing Jennifer Lawrence as an example. I don’t know if I agree with this. Jennifer Lawrence wears one designer, because she’ By Lainey • Mar 05, 2018 04:13 pm
Style Lupita shuts it down Lupita Nyong’o is a flirt. Lainey wrote about how “extra-close” she was with Winston Duke on the red-carpet last night. We’ve seen her insta-flirt with Chadwick Boseman and social media flirt AND real-life flirt with my Michael Bae Jordan. How dare she. Just kidding. If anyone can have By Kathleen • Mar 05, 2018 03:58 pm
Bad Style Gal Gadot’s one dress I was excited to see Gal Gadot at the Oscars. It’s Gal Gadot. Her face, it’s unreal. And she’s never, ever going to look like sh-t. And the possibility of seeing her in something bold, unexpected – I looked forward to it. But I think we now have By Lainey • Mar 05, 2018 03:22 pm
Oscars 2018 Not Emma Stone’s Night If one wonky thing happens to me in a day, I barely notice. If there are three – an annoying work call, a gross lunch, and a traffic jam, I might feel entitled to grump around for 15 minutes when I get home, even though what I just described is basically By Duana • Mar 05, 2018 02:54 pm
Oscars 2018 Saoirse’s familiar pink at the Oscars One of my favourite Oscars behind-the-scenes stories is from 2013 when Anne Hathaway changed her dress last minute because she found out Amanda Seyfried was wearing something similar. The dress Anne Hathaway changed into was a pale pink Prada situation that, as Duana aptly noted at the time, “is not By Kathleen • Mar 05, 2018 02:35 pm
Oscars 2018 Jennifer Garner: Oscar meme Every year, a celebrity in the audience at the Oscars becomes a meme when the camera cuts away to them and they’re serving some kind of face. It’s happened to Chrissy Teigen. It’s happened to Chris Pine. It happened to Meryl Streep, yes girling Patricia Arquette. Now By Lainey • Mar 05, 2018 02:12 pm
Jordan Peele Jordan Peele’s Get Out Oscar This was another one of those articles we all wanted to write. I think because Get Out affected each of us in a particular way. As I mentioned on Show Your Work, I only watched it recently, but have been thinking about it ever since. Awards for Get Out started By Duana • Mar 05, 2018 01:53 pm
Oscars 2018 Winston & Lupita? While the Oscars were happening, Black Panther was busy winning the box office for the third weekend in a row. The movie has now grossed over $900 million worldwide. They’re predicting it’ll be officially a billion dollars next weekend. A BILLION. The Oscars, then, as we’ve been By Lainey • Mar 05, 2018 01:28 pm
Oscars 2018 Jennifer Lawrence and Friends The day after the Oscars we all have writing ebbs and flows, but I was doing OK productivity-wise until we started talking about the ages of various presenters/ nominees/ winners, and then I realized I’ve done nothing with my life and should probably just give up now. Yes, I By Duana • Mar 05, 2018 01:00 pm
Oscars 2018 Eiza Gonzalez’s first Oscar dress There were a number of people at the Oscars last night for the first time as presenters or nominees or both. What’s the strategy? Do you remember the first time Emma Stone was at the Oscars? She co-presented with Ben Stiller. She was one of the best presenters of By Lainey • Mar 05, 2018 12:36 pm
Oscars 2018 Kumail Nanjiani Won The Oscars He didn’t, of course. He and his wife Emily V. Gordon were nominated for their screenplay The Big Sick and didn’t win, though it picked up Best First Screenplay at the Independent Spirit Awards the night before. I was anxious about this – The Big Sick was a totally By Duana • Mar 05, 2018 12:01 pm
Girlcrushes Janelle Monae 2067 I’m convinced that Janelle Monae is a time-travelling superhuman from 2067. She is too damn cool for us mere mortals of 2018. She also loves telling futuristic fantasies and sci-fi fairy tales through her music, just like a future space traveler would. Look at this picture Janelle posted from By Kathleen • Mar 05, 2018 11:28 am
