Music DAMN KENDRICK Kendrick Lamar released DAMN. on Good Friday. I didn’t listen to DAMN. until Saturday afternoon. I wasn’t busy. I was waiting. I wanted to savour it.

Julia Roberts Julia the Most Beautiful PEOPLE Magazine has named Julia Roberts the World’s Most Beautiful Woman 2017. Last year it was Jennifer Aniston. The year before it was Sandra Bullock. So it’s been three America’s Sweethearts in a row. Interesting strategy. Did you read Claudia Rosenbaum’s piece in Buzzfeed yesterday? The By Lainey • Apr 19, 2017 11:03 am

Quiveration Mark Ruffalo is a turtle My friends and I rarely agree on attractiveness. I always say, for instance, that Duana likes mountain men. Like she’ll always prefer the 45 year old over the 25 year old. I’m with the 25 year old, obviously. One person we can all agree on, however, is Mark By Lainey • Apr 18, 2017 04:16 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Benedict Cumberbatch’s brown sweater Before we talk about Benedict Cumberbatch, I need to tell you what just happened to me.

It’s like my body was By Lainey • Apr 18, 2017 03:47 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Drew’s pretty cold shoulder The cold shoulder was big last year. And it’s still big this year. I LOOOOOOOVE this dress on Drew Barrymore. The cold shoulder is flattering but to me the reason it works is because this dress billows. It billows so perfectly, so prettily. And it’s a dress that By Lainey • Apr 18, 2017 03:25 pm

Bad Hair Ginger Joaquin There’s not much to say here so I’ll keep it short. Joaquin Phoenix was photographed walking his dogs the other day. The last we heard from Joaquin it was about how he and Rooney Mara are/were “madly in love”. That was three months ago, in January. Since By Lainey • Apr 18, 2017 01:38 pm
Girls Adventurous Women You know what’s amazing about Girls, on top of everything else? They stuck unwaveringly to their format for six seasons. There was, I think a ‘To Be Continued’, but mostly, even with ‘One Man’s Trash’ or ‘American Bitch’ they told the stories they had to tell in their By Duana • Apr 18, 2017 12:57 pm
Media Manipulation The Rock’s next move, best move, smart move Late last night, TMZ reported that The Rock and Vin Diesel have “squashed” their boy sh-t and will be signing on for Fast Furious 9. As you’ve probably heard, F8 just set a worldwide box office record. So, obviously, the studio wants in for another one. According to TMZ, By Lainey • Apr 18, 2017 12:18 pm
Music JLO and ARod give back Here are some shots of Jennifer Lopez arriving in the Dominican Republic with her children on the weekend. She was there to perform with Marc Anthony, and I’ve included photos from their concert below.

Movie Reviews and Previews Amy Schumer trades Barbie for Pretty Yesterday it was announced that Amy Schumer will star in a comedy called I Feel Pretty, which is the directorial debut of the writing team behind such mediocre movies as He’s Just Not That Into You and How To Be Single.

Books Intro for April 18, 2017 Dear Gossips, So it’s time for me to harass you again about reading The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas.
