Movie Reviews and Previews Michael Shannon in Midnight Special Midnight Special has something in common with 10 Cloverfield Lane—you don’t want to know too much about this movie going in. The whole narrative is structured for discovery, and it unfolds with a real sense of wonder we don’t get to feel much at the movies anymore. By Sarah • Apr 07, 2016 10:01 am
BFFs Tom Cruise gives cake That is not a euphemism for anything, although I wish it was. Starting with this today because a reader called Cecile sent it over and she’s right in that even though it’s not super insidery dirty gossip, it’s one of those insightful little stories that also spins By Lainey • Apr 07, 2016 09:45 am
TV Updates Intro for April 7, 2016 Dear Gossips, I have pre-set recordings for probably a dozen shows. Mostly I try to catch up on all of it on the weekend. There are exceptions though. Game Of Thrones I always watch on the night. And Black-ish has become a show I watch as close to the air By Lainey • Apr 07, 2016 09:25 am
Marcus and Friends (dogs) Harry sweats Prince Harry went to Nepal a few weeks ago and stayed a few days longer than originally planned so he could help with rebuilding efforts following the earthquake. Those photos were just released yesterday. He’s digging and sweating and getting dirty and you f-cking love it. Today Harry was By Lainey • Apr 06, 2016 04:40 pm
Lifestyle Duana Names: 4 names, 4 weeks, no clues Hi Duana, My husband and I are in a bit of a bind. We have 4 weeks until our due date and are still circling around 4 very different baby names - we would LOVE some help on narrowing this down or any insights or thoughts you might have.

Celebrity Social Media Smutty Social Media, April 6, 2016 OSCAR WINNERS Leo and Adrien Brody go undercover.

Media Manipulation Ben’s next climb Ben Affleck stepped out yesterday. Some photo agencies are saying he was leaving the therapist’s. Gives me a great excuse to write about how he’s going to heal his latest cycle of shame. Sarah posted in the previous article about Warner Bros’ plans and that there’s been By Lainey • Apr 06, 2016 03:49 pm
Media Manipulation And so the Warner Bros. shuffle begins After the antipathetic public reaction to Superhero Face Punch, it seemed inevitable that Warner Brothers would have to make some changes to their plans for the DC Extended Universe, which is what they’re calling their cinematic universe. But they stuck with Zack Snyder as the director of The Justice By Sarah • Apr 06, 2016 03:06 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Diane’s pink beads I wonder if I would feel differently about this if it wasn’t pink. And this particular shade of pink. It’s not my favourite. I feel like it’s the kind of colour and beading combination that, to me, is super Elie Saab, even though this isn’t Elie By Lainey • Apr 06, 2016 01:24 pm
Xenu Tom’s Mummy Tom Cruise has started working on The Mummy reboot. Check him out on set in London last night with Annabelle Wallis. He looks intense, as usual. Question: are you getting a Kelly McGillis vibe from her here? I ask this because you could have seen it once, right? Maybe you By Lainey • Apr 06, 2016 01:07 pm
Media Manipulation Macaulay Culkin seems to be fine Macaulay Culkin, one of the most famous child actors of all time, keeps a low profile. There are only nine posts on LaineyGossip pertaining to him, even from back in the Mila days. He doesn’t create many opportunities for coverage, and beyond that, a lot of people go out By Sarah • Apr 06, 2016 12:26 pm
Harry Potter Mindy Kaling, Slytherin Well now I have another reason to love her. Mindy Kaling and I are housemates. Mindy attended the opening of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Hollywood last night. I was lucky enough to go to the opening of the one in Orlando a few years ago.

Music Rihanna: reluctant “role model” In the previous post, Kathleen mentioned the Black Girls Rock event that aired last night. Rihanna was presented with the Rock Star Award. During her acceptance speech, she made a sassy comment about how “You know, role model is not the… title they like to give me, you know”. And, By Lainey • Apr 06, 2016 11:06 am
Kerry Washington Kerry Washington’s Adweek Photoshop Yesterday, I wrote about Kerry Washington’s new feature in Adweek. Click here for a refresher. I raved about the choices she is making when it comes to her brand. I didn’t mention the cover. To be honest, I thought she looked a bit off but that wasn’t By Kathleen • Apr 06, 2016 10:25 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Naomi’s blue-grey sparkles Hard to find anything to complain about here. And it’s the only time light blue is tolerable – when it’s slightly muted with a grey fade. Which offsets the potential cheesiness of those red and purple and orange sequins. Even though it’s high collar and long-sleeved, this is By Lainey • Apr 06, 2016 10:07 am
