Movie Reviews and Previews James McAvoy is tremendous in Split Following The Visit, M. Night Shyamalan continues his return to form with Split. It’s his second collaboration with Blumhouse Pictures, and where in The Visit there is discernable friction between Shyamalan’s impulse to go big and Blumhouse’s frugal, lo-fi approach to filmmaking, in Split there is no By Sarah • Jan 20, 2017 10:29 am
Intro for January 20, 2017 Dear Gossips, “Dreams are lovely. But they are just dreams. Fleeting, ephemeral, pretty. But dreams do not come true just because you dream them. It's hard work that makes things happen. It's hard work that creates change." – Shonda Rhimes If you need a short break By Lainey • Jan 20, 2017 09:58 am
Celebrity Social Media Smutty Social Media, January 19, 2017 Seth Rogen tried to sass his mom on Twitter and she had the best clapback.

A Special Birthday Shout-Out A couple of weeks ago, we all got together for our annual LaineyGossip team dinner. Missed you Hayley, Maria, and Sarah. As we sat down to dinner, we toasted Sasha, whose birthday was earlier in the week. And then Sasha sassed us for forgetting her birthday – which is something she’ By Lainey • Jan 19, 2017 04:43 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Yara’s 2 PCA looks Yara Shahidi is becoming a style star. Already a style star? I am obsessed with everything she wears on black-ish. Her hair, her accessories, her clothes, all of it. And I’m obsessed with her award show choices. Two looks last night at the People’s Choice Awards. Basically Yara By Lainey • Jan 19, 2017 04:36 pm
Johnny Depp Johnny Depp needs the people Johnny Depp was named Favourite Movie Icon last night at the People’s Choice Awards. Johnny had a couple of major releases in 2016 – Alice Through The Looking Glass, which was critically panned and did not do well at the box office, and Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them By Lainey • Jan 19, 2017 04:12 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Ashley’s lilac sequins Worst dress at the People’s Choice Awards. This colour…it’s just so awful when there’s SO MUCH OF IT. And then when there’s this much of it… in sequins. It’s the kind of choice you expect from a teenager who’s just getting into glamour By Lainey • Jan 19, 2017 03:55 pm
Baby and Bump Obsession How about Halle Berry? The other day, when writing the Squawking Chicken’s Chinese zodiac horoscope for those born under the sign of the Horse, and how Horses could be in for a lot of love luck this year, I mentioned Halle Berry. She’s a 1966 Horse. Halle is currently shooting a film By Lainey • Jan 19, 2017 03:46 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Cressida Bonas in a movie The Bye Bye Man, alternatively, “I Sat Through The Bye Bye Man So You Don’t Have To”. And I did it mostly because The Bye Bye Man is Cressida Bonas’ feature film debut as an actress. You might remember Bonas as Prince Harry’s ex, and you will never By Sarah • Jan 19, 2017 03:13 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: SJP’s metallic pleats I think you might hate it? I don’t hate it at all. I think I might love it. I might even love the addition of those sleeves which is probably the most controversial part of this dress. Without the sleeves, it’d be metallic and pleated and strapless. The By Lainey • Jan 19, 2017 02:14 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Priyanka in pink at the PCAs Not saying this is the best dress ever. But I did like seeing it on her because it’s a different aesthetic. She favours a lot of elaborate, extra dresses. Like Sofia Vergara. And this one, it’s just so easy and relaxed, with so much flow and it’s By Lainey • Jan 19, 2017 01:53 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Wolverine and Little Wolverine A new trailer for Logan has arrived, and while it’s not a perfect little film like the first one, it does confirm what the first trailer only hinted at—the little girl, Laura, is in fact X-23, the Logan clone who is currently serving as the comic book version By Sarah • Jan 19, 2017 01:23 pm
Style Blake Lively is the People’s Choice What I do appreciate about the People’s Choice Awards is that it’s a popularity contest, as almost all award shows are, and doesn’t pretend to be anything else. The more prestigious awards are popularity contests too – Hollywood inner circle popularity and who can campaign harder to earn By Lainey • Jan 19, 2017 01:06 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews Sebastian Stan’s tragic ’stache We just saw Margot Robbie in costume as Tonya Harding the other day, and now it’s Sebastian Stan’s turn to show off his Jeff Gillooly look. Spoiler alert: It’s f*cking tragic. It’s so tragic a friend asked me if it was affecting my crush. (No, By Sarah • Jan 19, 2017 10:48 am
Music The People choose the worst song of the year Oh the People’s Choice Awards. It’s no secret that they’re not prestigious but I’ve always wondered how it actually works, like logistically. Because the People’s Choice Awards are the Who Can Come To The Show Awards. If you can come, you win. We’ll even By Lainey • Jan 19, 2017 10:14 am
