Movie Reviews and Previews Assassin’s Creed certainly looks like something The first trailer for Michael Fassbender’s Assassin’s Creed came out last night and it is certainly something. Parts of it are gorgeous. Other parts of it are f*cking horrendous. Fassbender does look very cool as a medieval assassin. Marion Cotillard is delivering lines like she just had By Sarah • May 12, 2016 11:41 am

Movie Reviews and Previews The Woody Allen Problem A reader named Regina emailed me and asked, “Why are we not ready for Mel Gibson to come back but we’ll still embrace Woody Allen’s films?” Turns out Regina has something in common with Ronan Farrow, because he’s asking the same question.

Intro for May 12, 2016 Dear Gossips, Before bed last night I read a piece at Salon about pop culture FOMO that I’m still thinking about this morning. Artists keep dropping new releases without warning. And then the internet rushes to consume and analyse…before the next New Big Thing comes out. Kendrick Lamar By Lainey • May 12, 2016 09:31 am

Celebrity Social Media Smutty Social Media, May 11, 2016 So if you watched UnREAL (and if you didn’t – why??) here is an interesting tidbit: Anna (pictured centered) and Adam are together in real life. So basically the fake Everlasting does its job better than the real Bachelor franchise. Some things never change #unrealtv A photo posted by Shiri By Maria • May 11, 2016 04:50 pm
Cannes 2016 Posh’s understated Cannes Victoria Beckham is in Cannes. Don’t ask me what official business she’s there for. Does it matter? It’s Cannes. As you know, the Cannes carpet is the EXTRA carpet. This is where, if you want to, you can do MORE. It’s excessive, it’s obscene, and By Lainey • May 11, 2016 04:44 pm
Music Lin-Manuel Miranda: the answer? Yesterday I posted about Justin Timberlake, Trolls, and Can’t Stop The Feeling, whether or not the song would be his Oscar. And then a reader called Stefanie wrote to remind me that Lin-Manuel Miranda is writing the music for Disney’s Moana, opening in November, just a couple By Lainey • May 11, 2016 04:22 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Lupita on screen Last week Kathleen wrote about Lupita Nyong’o’s defense of her (perfectly reasonable) decision to do a Broadway play—for which she’s Tony-nominated—instead of taking more film roles after winning an Oscar. In that piece, Kathleen mentioned that it’s been two years since we’ve By Sarah • May 11, 2016 02:36 pm

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Naomi’s Cannes one-piece I’m in love. I mean, the outfit on its own is wonderful, the print, the wide white cuffs… But the scarf around the neck and those adorable, adorable sandal-heels make the entire look really special. By Lainey • May 11, 2016 01:07 pm
Relationship Assumption Courteney & Johnny’s first back-together carpet The BMI Pop Awards happened last night.

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Kate Beckinsale’s sheer panels I’m shocked Kate Hudson didn’t get to this dress first. In white. Or JLO. I mean, it’s fine. It’s obvious. And the little flare detail at the bottom is trying to make it less obvious but it’s still obvious what this dress is trying to By Lainey • May 11, 2016 12:51 pm
Media Manipulation Batfleck Big Homie “Big Homie better grow up” is what Beyoncé sings in Sorry on Lemonade. I compared B’s Lemonade to Jennifer Garner’s Vanity Fair last week – click here for a refresher. And, well, like Jay Z, Ben Affleck might be hugging some ankles before the end of the summer too.

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Isla’s hip bow If you’d shown me this dress on the hanger, I’d be like, get that prom sh-t away from me. But Isla Fisher puts it on and…it works! The hip bow looks great on her. And this is a great shoe choice that you wouldn’t see By Lainey • May 11, 2016 12:05 pm
Maple Leaf Drake talks Rihanna, Nicki, Kanye in new interviews Drake rarely does press. He’s not the guy who is constantly on the talk show circuit, lip-syncing with Fallon or carpool karaoke-ing with James Cordon. He doesn’t need those shows to help him go viral. He does that all on his own. But while Drake might By Kathleen • May 11, 2016 11:46 am
