Rihanna Rihanna’s green Billboards Green seemed to be the theme for Rihanna last night at the Billboard Awards. She arrived in brownish olive green on the red carpet, a vintage jacket dress by Thierry Mugler that felt super 80s and set her apart from all the sequins and bandage straps that everyone else had By Lainey • May 23, 2016 01:18 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Keira’s three band dress I love the richness of this dress. It’s exactly a dress to wear to the opera. And I love the three band chest. That extra band is a major side-boob reducer. By Lainey • May 23, 2016 01:05 pm
Gwen Stefani The love song of Gwen & Blake Were you feeling it? I wanted to be feeling it. Really bad. But Duana got to this before I did and she described it to me as “dead-eyed” so now I’m wondering if I was influenced. I don’t think so? Because it’s not like I don’t By Lainey • May 23, 2016 12:47 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Kate Beckinsale’s Billboard white This is an interesting dress, 100%. You know what would be more interesting though? If it wasn’t going back to back on so many special dresses. She wears so many dresses. So many THIS IS THE DRESS dresses. And the effect of that is a lessening of special.

Alecia Beth Moore Pink keeps flying I heard about Pink’s trapeze thing before I actually watched it. And my first reaction was… Again? It’s been a LOT of trapeze flying. Like the Pink Cirque du Soleil performance has happened many, many times before. I don’t know how many more times I can watch By Lainey • May 23, 2016 12:12 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Zendaya’s nude Billboard I feel so not excited about this Zendaya outfit. Zendaya, to me, shouldn’t ever have to wear something Kate Hudson would want. Let’s not pretend this is anything more than a bralet with a piece of fabric wrapped around the waist. By Lainey • May 23, 2016 11:51 am
Britney Spears Justin Bieber, misanthrope? Britney Spears opened the Billboard Awards last night. Halfway through the show Justin Bieber performed. And it’s hard not to connect the two, not only because of the child star thing but because of what was missing from both sets – unmitigated joy. It felt like work. It did not By Lainey • May 23, 2016 11:18 am
Britney Spears Britney’s bests, minus 2 I received an email last night from a very enthusiastic Britney Spears fan. (Hi M!) She’s 27 years old. She grew up on Britney. And she and 12 of her friends got together last night to watch Britney’s Millennium Award performance at the Billboards. Afterwards they were euphoric… By Lainey • May 23, 2016 10:56 am
Madonna It could have been worse When it was first announced that Madonna would be honouring Prince at the Billboard Music Awards last night, people were pissed, understandably. Because Madonna, lately, has been too f-cking much. And Madonna, always, makes it about herself. So the expectations, they weren’t high. And, perhaps, since they weren’t By Lainey • May 23, 2016 10:24 am
Game of Thrones Game of Thrones 6.5: “Hold the door” Game of Thrones Season 6 Episode 5 recap SPOILERS One word, that has meant so many other words. A single word that was so often a joke, a punchline, the word that broke through the brutality and death and tragedy with brief moments of humor—a word no one took By Sarah • May 23, 2016 10:09 am
Seth Rogen Intro for May 23, 2016 Dear Gossips, As Sarah wrote last week in her post about the new Ghostbusters trailer, the first trailer set a record for being the most disliked of all time, or something, because men don’t think Ghostbusters should be women. This is a true story. A similar situation went down By Lainey • May 23, 2016 09:22 am
Lifestyle Duana Names: The Updates You Want, The News You Need No, I’m serious. Think about it. This isn’t just for my benefit, glory, or shaming. These updates actually tell us about the people who resulted from ideas we were just talking about! It’s kind of like we all made the person together, except inasmuch as that’s By Duana • May 20, 2016 04:04 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Kevin Bacon in The Darkness There is a really excellent movie starring Kevin Bacon called Cop Car, which is an indie thriller about a corrupt cop and a couple of punk kids. It’s a really tight, tense movie that doesn’t go in the direction you think it will. It’s very atmospheric, very By Sarah • May 20, 2016 02:04 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The distance between Charlize Theron and Sean Penn… Today at the photo call for The Last Face, directed by Sean, in Cannes. Exactly a year ago in Cannes, this is what Charlize and Sean looked like: I chose this shot specifically because he seems oblivious and she looks like she’s got plans.

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Vanessa’s sheared sleeves It gives me great pleasure that Amber Heard has to deal with designer scraps at an event like the MET Gala while it’s understood that Vanessa Paradis will always have access to Chanel’s best pieces. And this is one of the best Chanel pieces. These sheared, crazy cut By Lainey • May 20, 2016 01:06 pm
Maple Leaf Justin Bieber’s Purpose Tour: Review Justin Bieber played two shows in Toronto this week. I was at the first show on Wednesday. Whatever issues I’ve had with Bieber in the past, I can’t deny how great of an album Purpose is. I loved Purpose. Love Yourself is my jam. I was excited to By Kathleen • May 20, 2016 12:44 pm
