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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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

Jeremy Renner #huh? I follow an embarrassing amount of celebs on Instagram for Smutty Social Media. There is a predictability and pattern to most of their feeds – Nicki Minaj is fierce luxury, Miley is unfiltered hippie, Katie Holmes is bland gratitude. And then there's Jeremy Renner.

Business of Hollywood Intro for March 23, 2017 Dear Gossips, Have you seen the headlines today about Ryan Gosling?
