Movie Reviews and Previews TIFF Review: Sighted Eyes/Feeling Heart In 1959, Lorraine Hansberry wrote, “One cannot live with sighted eyes and feeling heart and not know or react to the miseries which afflict this world.” It’s a variation of, “if you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention.” That quote has now become synonymous with Heather Heyer, By Kathleen • Sep 15, 2017 02:35 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The best comedy so far this year: The Death Of Stalin Armando Ianucci (Veep, In The Loop) is one of the best satirists working today—certainly the best working in narrative forms.

Movie Reviews and Previews Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool may be the one for Annette Bening Annette Bening and Jamie Bell dance their way into your hearts in Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool. Really, they do. Within the first 10 minutes of the movie, they’re grooving to Boogie Oogie Oogie inside Gloria Grahame’s boarding house. Yes, obviously, there’s an age difference By Joanna • Sep 15, 2017 01:47 pm

Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Inspired by Janet Jackson Hayley, I just saw pictures of Janet Jackson and she looks great. I am a young 53, and struggle like hell to lose 50lbs. What are some of these celebrities doing in order to lose weight so fast? She had a child and was somewhat larger even before that. Now, By Hayley • Sep 15, 2017 12:29 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews TIFF Review: Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri Mildred Hayes (Frances McDormand) lives at the end of a lonely road in rural Missouri, the only thing marking her way are three decrepit billboards. She buys the ad rights for the billboards and up go three violently red billboards asking the town police chief why her daughter’s murderer By Sarah • Sep 15, 2017 12:12 pm
Baby and Bump Obsession Angelina’s big New York premiere Angelina Jolie met with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres yesterday at the United Nations headquarters. Details of what was discussed were not released but he was formerly the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and she’s the Special Envoy for the UN Refugee Agency so it’s probably not hard By Lainey • Sep 15, 2017 10:54 am
Movie Reviews and Previews TIFF Review: Borg McEnroe The other tennis movie that played at TIFF is Borg McEnroe, which was the opening night film because…someone at TIFF really likes tennis? It’s a tennis themed year. If you’re a big tennis fan, you might enjoy Borg McEnroe for its recreation of the 1980 Wimbledon finals By Sarah • Sep 15, 2017 10:07 am
Weddings Jennifer Aniston: the wedding dress and wellness too Jennifer Aniston is on the cover of the October 2017 issue of Harper’s Bazaar to promote her new fragrance, Jennifer Aniston Luxe. Amy Sedaris did the interview though. Which is why it’s a longer conversation than what usually happens in a Jennifer Aniston beauty magazine feature. I feel By Lainey • Sep 15, 2017 09:34 am
Top Reads Gwyneth tries to rescue retail and print The first issue of goop, Gwyneth Paltrow’s quarterly “wellness”-themed magazine in partnership with Conde Nast, was released this week.

Beyoncé Intro for September 15, 2017 Dear Gossips, I had an entirely different open planned for today. And then I woke up at 5am and saw how supported Rihanna was last night at her third annual Diamond Ball. Kendrick Lamar performed (in a great pair of well-tailored black pants). Dave Chappelle spoke. Jamie Foxx showed up. By Lainey • Sep 15, 2017 07:37 am
What Else What Else? Tips! It’s a dramatic conversation. We just talked about tipping yesterday on The Social: do you tip when you take out? I do. But it’s because I used to work as a takeout girl. And I know the work involved in packing and organising and the injuries sustained By Lainey • Sep 14, 2017 04:42 pm
Music Blake Shelton Thinks My Job Is Easy My favourite off-book celebrity conversation these days is ‘who do you think is for real?’ Whose tweets, whose self-deprecating Instagram captions, whose appealingly honest posts are real reflections of who they might be? Until yesterday, it would never have occurred to me to include Blake Shelton in the analysis one By Duana • Sep 14, 2017 04:28 pm
Quiveration The cast of Riverdale is really pretty We knew this. There may be murder mysteries on murder mysteries and secrets on secrets in Riverdale but if there’s one thing we’ve always known for sure, it’s that the entire cast is really f-cking good-looking.
