It’s a bit confusing. BLACKPINK, By Lainey • Feb 06, 2025 09:23 am
Style Bridget does layers Renée Zellweger and her castmates, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Leo Woodall, from Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, minus Hugh Grant, were in Rome to promote the movie today. This is one of my favourite outfits on her of all time. It’s Maison Margiela and there’s some excellent layering By Lainey • Feb 05, 2025 04:01 pm
Celebrity Social Media Celebrity Social Media, February 5, 2025 Meghan Markle posted a video of herself unpacking Billie Eilish merch that is going to a victim of the LA fires. For those who say Meghan is calculated, this video shows the opposite of that – she’s breathy and not the best off-the-cuff storyteller actually. Some will say this her By Maria • Feb 05, 2025 03:30 pm
BFFs Billie campaigns for Ari As noted in today’s open, the Karla Sofía Gascón scandal has upended award season. Emilia Pérez is plummeting, Zoe Saldaña’s chances are in jeopardy, and other nominated films and actors are gaining momentum – that includes Ariana Grande. It was once thought that the nomination would be a win By Lainey • Feb 05, 2025 02:12 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Jurassic World Reborn The first trailer for Jurassic World Rebirth—which I think should be called Jurassic Reborn—dropped this morning, and as with yesterday’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps teaser, I expected to see this during the Super Bowl. We still might, a lot of people do not pay attention to By Sarah • Feb 05, 2025 01:11 pm
Shoes Horror and Romance Anya Taylor-Joy and Miles Teller have been in New York promoting a new movie called The Gorge. Hadn’t really been paying attention to it until I saw all the sidewalk runway shots of Anya doing the talk show circuit. We’ll get to the fashion in a minute, let By Lainey • Feb 05, 2025 12:30 pm
BFFs The Girls are OK Sometimes the gossip that comes out of an award show is beefy. Two stars refusing to sit next to each other. Actors avoiding each other on the red carpet. Exes and their currents awkwardly walking past. Girl sh-t and boy sh-t and mess. Sometimes, however, the gossip that comes out By Lainey • Feb 05, 2025 11:15 am
Dumbass Another Simple Favor ends another dumb rumour I mean, the dumb rumour should have ended as soon as it was birthed but you know how the internet works now and how people are increasingly incapable of detecting bullsh-t. Sarah addressed this nonsense a few weeks ago when a totally unqualified random on Twitter claimed that Amazon had By Lainey • Feb 05, 2025 10:26 am
Award Season Campaigning Intro for February 5, 2025 Dear Gossips, As Sarah wrote yesterday in her post about the Karla Sofía Gascón mess, the situation has had repercussions all over the award season calendar – and is definitely shifting momentum in the Oscar race overall.

Music Drake is far away Drake is keeping his distance right now, conveniently on the other side of the world, far from the Grammys, and the upcoming Super Bowl in New Orleans where, as we all know, Kendrick Lamar is the headliner. And we also all know that he will for sure perform “Not Like By Lainey • Feb 04, 2025 04:14 pm
Celebrity Social Media Celebrity Social Media, February 4, 2025 Benson Boone is all over the radio but until now he has existed to me in theory, like quantum physics. Sure it exists but it’s none of my business. But now he’s a great example of a Grammys breakout performance – everyone is talking about his backflip and little By Maria • Feb 04, 2025 03:20 pm
TV Updates BUFFY IS (apparently, actually, potentially) BACK?! I really didn’t expect good news this week, since the past few days/lifetime have been A Bit Unusual where world news is concerned – and, like everyone else, my resolve to be aware of/not obsessed by the news is pretty rusty. I need discipline. Which has come from By Duana • Feb 04, 2025 02:23 pm

Music MC’s MUSIC LOUNGE: Musical Trilogies and Whitney-Keke As the old saying goes, “good things come in threes”, so it should come as no shock that when the rule of threes gets applied to music, the result can be great. Beyoncé being the most current example, the Album Of The Year winner is on album #2 of her By MC • Feb 04, 2025 12:33 pm
Equality Issues Karla Chaos Last week, I wrote about Emilia Pérez star Karla Sofía Gascón and her increasingly off-the-rails, weirdly defiant apology tour for (not so) old racist, xenophobic, homophobic tweets that resurfaced in the wake of her Oscar nomination for Best Actress. Gascón is the first out transgender actor to be nominated for By Sarah • Feb 04, 2025 11:33 am
Amazingness They call him Spider-Man We can disagree about movies and TV shows, Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, Drake and Kendrick, Taylor Swift’s footwear, Ed Sheeran’s music… but you know what brings us all together? Zendaya and Tom Holland. I know they bring the internet together. All they have to do is walk By Lainey • Feb 04, 2025 10:32 am
