What Else What Else? The Jingle Ball is still happening and Katy Perry reliably dressed up like an ornament. I don’t hate this liquid silver dress on her but the next dress is offensive. It needs a tug and a yank and even then I’m not sure it would make the cut By Lainey • Dec 16, 2024 04:05 pm

Amazingness Timmy-Bob is extra Bob It’s not that I’m ever not a fan of Timothée Chalamet. He checks all the boxes for me personally and professionally – so talented, so pretty, so perfectly of the celebrity moment, so good for gossip.
