Royals Princess at the screening We’ve been getting new visitors to the site – Hi! Welcome! – and one of the common questions that comes up is why I call her Princess Kate and it’s wrong and I am mistaken and she’s actually Duchess Kate. First, I hate the word “duchess”. It’s such By Lainey • Nov 03, 2016 04:54 pm
Music 10 years of award show Taylor When she first started attending award shows, Taylor Swift would be in the audience, getting her photo taken with other artists by event photographers for mass release. Backstage too. That was before Bad Blood. When Taylor and Katy and Rihanna and Selena and Nicki, they would happily get in place By Lainey • Nov 03, 2016 04:33 pm

Bad Style Carrie and Brad start strong… Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley have hosted the CMAs for the last 9 years. And you know what? I like their chemistry. I liked it last year and I quite enjoyed their opening monologue this year. I mean it was corny, but also, they know their audience. And it worked By Lainey • Nov 03, 2016 03:18 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Benedict Cumberbatch IS Doctor Strange Benedict Cumberbatch stars as Stephen Strange, an arrogant neurosurgeon who is great at his job but terrible at everything else. He’s arrogant, rude, belittling, and selfish, and he’s mean to Rachel McAdams which is a shorthanded way of making a character instantly unlikeable. There’s a strong similarity By Sarah • Nov 03, 2016 02:26 pm
Music Chest thumping at the CMAs Some people weren’t feeling Beyoncé and the Dixie Chicks’ performance at the CMAs. (I see you, Kenny Chesney. But I also understand that no one wants to follow Beyoncé.) Other people were feeling it hard. Faith Hill knew all the words and was singing along. Miranda Lambert was getting By Lainey • Nov 03, 2016 01:19 pm
Music Beyoncé & the Dixie Chicks A few weeks ago, we had a memory scientist on The Social who talked about how sometimes we remember things that we can’t possibly remember. Like your dad feeding you a piece of chocolate when you were 14 months old and you spat it out and it’s the By Lainey • Nov 03, 2016 11:47 am
Music Justin Timberlake Can’t Stop Sorry, I should say Justin Timberlake won’t stop. He will never stop promoting Trolls. America could be well into HRC’s second term and JT will still be rocking a troll costume and singing the most annoying song of 2016. Name a more annoying song than Can’t Stop By Kathleen • Nov 03, 2016 11:11 am
Winona Ryder Intro for November 3, 2016 Dear Gossips, Duana sent over an article this morning to us on group chat that I can’t stop thinking about. It’s about Soul Asylum’s Runaway Train. Remember the song? And, in particular, the video? In addition to the band, the video featured photos of real missing kids. By Lainey • Nov 03, 2016 10:25 am
Celebrity Social Media Smutty Social Media, November 2, 2016 I love Christmas movies that involves a bunch of family members going home for the holidays. The way Danny Glover mutters “who is this white man” kills me. A video posted by Mo'nique (@therealmoworldwide) onNov 1, 2016 at 3:57pm PDT I just want to point out that By Maria • Nov 02, 2016 05:01 pm
Lifestyle Duana Names: To Pin Down The Twang Hi Duana, My husband and I are expecting our first baby in early November and are hitting a bit of a wall on names. We were in agreement about baby girl names for the most part (Dorothy/Dotty as a front runner) and only found out the gender because we By Duana • Nov 02, 2016 04:49 pm
Music Beyoncé. Tonight. CMAs. “This is not a drill” … is what you say, what you hear, when something like this happens. That is, when Beyoncé happens. The CMAs are tonight. And while some people cared at the start of the day, a LOT of people are caring a lot more now because it’s By Lainey • Nov 02, 2016 04:38 pm
Xenu Leah Remini: SJW (Scientology Justice Warrior) The first trailer for Leah Remini’s Scientology show is here – and it’s as crazy as an alien volcano explosion (or whatever Scientology is). The trailer is short but it includes a lot of accusations you’d know about if you watched Going Clear, like the practice of disconnection By Maria • Nov 02, 2016 04:17 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Jessica Chastain too We’ve been hearing over and over again that this year’s Best Actress Oscar race is the most competitive it’s been in a while, much more competitive than Best Actor. We’ve been hearing over and over again that Emma Stone (La La Land) is currently the frontrunner, By Lainey • Nov 02, 2016 04:01 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews BEHOLD, Beauty and the Beast Last year, I mentioned I was excited about Ewan McGregor starring in the live-action version of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. But then, Duana, the resident musical dork, was unenthused by the teaser. Well now Entertainment Weekly has released the first image from the film—the iconic Yellow By Sarah • Nov 02, 2016 02:56 pm
Quiveration Jake’s promise to Ellen Said this before, will say again, I love watching Jake Gyllenhaal on Ellen. They have a really cute chemistry. My favourite is from years ago when he kept calling her on his birthday. Have you watched that back lately? His voice is hilarious, the way it gets more and more By Lainey • Nov 02, 2016 02:12 pm
