Actually, if this were anyone else, like, say, Penelope Cruz, who’s done the feather thing so many f-cking times, I would probably hate it.

Dumbass Disney’s dumb power play Disney has had quite the week. On the one hand, Thor: Ragnarok is champagne-toasting success, but on the other hand, they stumbled into an incredibly stupid and ill-timed power play with the LA Times. As Lainey mentioned briefly yesterday, it all started with an investigative report about Disney’s dealings By Sarah • Nov 08, 2017 08:58 am
Intro for November 8, 2017 Dear Gossips, A year ago today, people were making predictions. One major prediction. That prediction didn’t happen, and it sucked. I’m going to do what we did a year ago today on this site – which is make another kind of prediction. That prediction ended up coming true. And By Lainey • Nov 08, 2017 08:00 am

Movie Reviews and Previews Fifty Shades: Lifestyle Porn Remember when Fifty Shades of Grey was described as “mommy porn”? And then, I guess, “let down porn” because despite talking a big game about being a 21st century Last Tango In Paris, the Fifty Shades movies have been, so far, mildly horny at best.
