What Else What Else? Suki Waterhouse and Darren Aronofsky are not dating. They were just walking very close together and we were played by Photo Assumption, our favourite game of baseless conclusions…? These denials came quick though. So does this mean that Suki is still with Diego Luna? Does it mean that Darren wants By Lainey • Jan 26, 2018 03:57 pm

Baby and Bump Obsession Dunst is a belly cupper My favourite part of the hysterical Taylor Kitsch GQ profile Lainey wrote about in the intro this morning was "Jesse and Dunst." I also love that the writer is sure Kirsten would never answer to "Dunst." I'm pretty sure of that too which is By Kathleen • Jan 26, 2018 03:05 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews Talking myself into Captain Marvel At every step and stage Captain Marvel has failed to produce excitement, which is a shame when you consider it is Marvel’s first and long-awaited solo superheroine film. Brie Larson is a good actress but an uninspiring choice to play Carol Danvers—PLEASE prove me wrong, Brie—and By Sarah • Jan 26, 2018 10:36 am
Dumbass Gwyneth & Colbert Stephen Colbert, over the years, has mocked Gwyneth Paltrow and goop for their batsh-t recommendations and promoting of fake science. Have you seen his Covetton House features? Basically he dresses up as a poncy asshole and recommends things like “scrotal dry cleaning” and “nacho cheese soaks”. Gwyneth was his By Lainey • Jan 26, 2018 10:15 am

Emily V. Gordon Emily V. Gordon adapts The Nest I’m about to make a controversial statement about Oscar-nominated writer Emily V. Gordon: I was worried she was being overlooked this Oscar season.

Celebrity Social Media Smutty Social Media, January 25, 2018 Praise Xenu, Tom Cruise has joined Instagram! What do you think his feed will look like?
