Music Intro for August 25, 2017 Dear Gossips, I was at the Mimi/Lionel Richie All The Hits show in Toronto last night with my friend Marci Ien. Lionel Richie is 68 years old, my dad’s age.

What Else What Else? I never thought this would happen but the world is caring about Tom Cruise’s ass in the same way that they care about other notable asses, Lopez, Kardashian, Minaj, Chyna, or otherwise. What’s next? Will Tom Cruise photocopy his ass to prove that…? I actually can’t remember By Lainey • Aug 24, 2017 04:06 pm
TV Updates This Is Our Emotional Reckoning We’ve reviewed This Is Us twice on Lainey Gossip – I did the first three episodes here and Duana wrote about it in the spring. I stand by my season one review; my perspective on the emotional shallowness of the plot twists and the underwritten characters hasn’t changed. But By Maria • Aug 24, 2017 03:52 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Aubrey Plaza in Ingrid Goes West Ingrid Goes West is equal parts scathing social satire, horror movie, and character portrait. It’s self-aware enough to include a Single White Female joke, but it’s not the kind of jokey movie that winks at itself. Aubrey Plaza caps her stellar year with her best performance yet, turning By Sarah • Aug 24, 2017 03:23 pm

Music Taylor Swift: approaching Snake hour As promised yesterday, Taylor Swift will be releasing the first single off her new album, Reputation, some time tonight. As I noted yesterday, I’m thinking it’ll be late. Late enough that it could technically be considered Friday. Not only to get the jump on the weekend and, possibly By Lainey • Aug 24, 2017 02:09 pm
Music Katy Perry’s air ball Katy Perry dropped the official video for Swish Swish this morning. In about 12 hours, Taylor Swift ushers in a new era. As much as I would like to, I can’t pretend that I don’t care about Taylor’s Reputation. Even if the cover art made me roll By Kathleen • Aug 24, 2017 01:34 pm
Media Manipulation Gwyneth’s distracting ring A couple of days ago, Robert Downey Jr posted a photo with Gwyneth Paltrow and Jon Favreau on Instagram, confirming that both would be back for Avengers: Infinity War. I posted new photos of all of them on set yesterday, along with Mark Ruffalo. Also yesterday? Goop was making headlines By Lainey • Aug 24, 2017 12:31 pm
Maple Leaf Celine shines bright like a diamond Celine Dion was in Montreal yesterday for her bag launch. And, well, where Celine goes, the feelings go. So it was a spectacle. Not only because she’s Celine Dion, after all, but also because, of course, Celine is from Montreal. Well, technically she was born in Charlemagne, but that’ By Lainey • Aug 24, 2017 11:26 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Speaking of maybe-not Batman… Here’s Ben Affleck on Tuesday leaving his hotel in New York with Lindsay Shookus and then at the airport, presumably heading back to LA after spending the weekend with her.

Movie Reviews and Previews What is HAPPENING with DC Films? Wonder Woman is the biggest movie of the summer, breaking all kinds of records, and successfully lighting a path for DC Films after Zack Snyder’s grimdark vision didn’t pan out.
