Movie Reviews and Previews Amy Schumer is not Barbie In December we learned that Amy Schumer would star in a live-action Barbie movie, which seemed like kind of a bad idea because Barbie, as a toy and cultural landmark, is already loaded with so many issues. Do we even need a Barbie movie, let alone an Amy Schumer Barbie By Sarah • Mar 24, 2017 11:56 am

Douchebags John Mayer’s performative contrition John Mayer has a new album coming out. It’s called The Search For Everything. And it’s his return to, as he calls it, “blockbuster” music. Basically he says he was on a self-imposed exile from big pop because he hated himself after being a douchebag so he went By Lainey • Mar 24, 2017 11:16 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds in 'Life' Life is a terribly stupid movie, but it’s dumb in that fun B-movie way, a trashy space thriller full of dumb-sh*t dialogue and wildly convenient circumstances. Despite its stupidity, though, Life is decently scary because space is naturally horrifying as we are instinctively afraid of its vastness and By Sarah • Mar 24, 2017 10:26 am
Intro for March 24, 2017 Dear Gossips, Last Friday in this space, I posted about the disturbance in the gossip landscape with American Media Inc’s purchase of US Weekly. Yesterday 40 US Weekly staff members were reportedly let go, including Michael Steele, editor in chief, and editorial director Jamiee Zanzinger. US Weekly’s entire By Lainey • Mar 24, 2017 09:32 am
Celebrity Social Media Smutty Social Media, March 23, 2017 Shade, unintentional gaffe, or inside joke? Judging by Nancy’s response (first time had typos, second time is just a correction), I think it’s the third option. Unless Nancy is operating at a high petty level and is scorching Kristi with social media kindness. But that’s wishful thinking. By Maria • Mar 23, 2017 04:49 pm
TV Updates Alexa & Alex together in New York It’s been a while since Alexa Chung and Alexander Skarsgard have been photographed together. Which is why so many people assumed that they’d broken up. Here they are today in New York, together. Another example of how not being photographed together sometimes doesn’t mean anything. Like the By Lainey • Mar 23, 2017 04:24 pm
Keira Knightley Tomorrow night… Actually Red Nose Day is tomorrow in the UK. So just one more sleep until the Love Actually 10 minute short film that they’ve been shooting all month.

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Elizabeth’s sequined jumpsuit I kept thinking all day that I’ve seen this somewhere else. And then I realised it was Celine Dion. Only she wore it as a dress in green with a giant bow at the Grammys, remember? You can tell that Elizabeth Banks’s jumpsuit and Celine’s dress are By Lainey • Mar 23, 2017 03:49 pm
Royals Kate carries on I’m sorry in advance if what follows doesn’t come out quite right. What happened yesterday in London was senseless and terrible, of course it was. Is it OK to say that I admire so much how so many people reacted to the horror, helping in any way they By Lainey • Mar 23, 2017 03:28 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Three Billboards and Frances McDormand The first trailer for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri was just released and all I really have to say is that in the course of two and a half minutes, Frances McDormand c*nt-punts a teenager, calls Sam Rockwell “f*ckhead”, attacks a dentist with his own drill, cusses out By Sarah • Mar 23, 2017 02:59 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Kiernan’s tiger and stripes This. Sweater. I f-cking love this sweater so much. My mother is a Tiger, born 1950. I’d wear it for her. Or buy it for her. But, of course, it’s Gucci because everything is Gucci right now. And it’s over a grand. And I don’t even By Lainey • Mar 23, 2017 01:35 pm
TV Updates Checking in on Riverdale Thursdays still belong to Shonda Rhimes but for the past 7 weeks, I’ve ventured out of Shondaland and into a mysterious, perpetually overcast town called Riverdale for an hour every Thursday. Riverdale is back with new episodes next week but to hold you over until then, I’m essentially By Kathleen • Mar 23, 2017 01:14 pm
Media Manipulation This week in Brad Pitt I posted the other day about that corny Daily Mail story on Brad Pitt and his sad songs and sad art. Right after that PEOPLE followed with a similar – though maybe less “sad”-focused story – about Brad’s “new hobby – sculpture!” The next day, Wednesday, PEOPLE then reported exclusively that By Lainey • Mar 23, 2017 11:58 am
