The final trailer for X-Men: Apocalypse is here, and I ask this sincerely as someone who has mostly enjoyed the X-Men movies: Is ANYONE pumped for this movie? I keep forgetting it’s even coming out, and when I do remember, it’s only in the context of, By Sarah • Apr 25, 2016 04:30 pm
Lifestyle Duana Names: Searching for Klarity Duana! I’ve struggled my whole life to come to terms with my name because not only did my Chinese parents give me a French name that they can’t pronounce, they had to go and spell it differently! They did the same cruel thing to my sister. It’s By Duana • Apr 25, 2016 04:25 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Mischa’s daywear You know those photos I posted earlier today of Kelly Rowland? Click here for a refresher. Almost everyone at that event was dressed in similar fashion – flats, casual. Mischa Barton? A cocktail dress. And a terrible one with pantyhose holding together the chest. Ten years ago Mischa Barton wouldn’t By Lainey • Apr 25, 2016 04:11 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Jesse Eisenberg: Woody Allen’s perfect muse As we’ve seen through the decades, Woody Allen has his muses. But now? Forget Diane Keaton, Scarlett Johansson, Emma Stone, forget the actresses, because he’s finally found The One, the one he’s been looking for all this time: Jesse Eisenberg.

Relationship Assumption Chris, Alex, and Alexa Alexa Chung and Alexander Skarsgard are still together and, together, they were at Kate Hudson and Jennifer Meyer’s joint birthday party. At some point they ran into Chris Martin. As you know from the previous post, Chris Martin’s ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow and her boyfriend Brad Falchuk attended By Lainey • Apr 25, 2016 12:19 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Kelly’s white jeans and waist knot My ma used to tie a shirt like this at her navel when she was young. I’ve always loved the look. But it doesn’t work on every shirt. It can’t be too long or there will be too much material, making the knot bulky at the waist. By Lainey • Apr 25, 2016 11:48 am
Break Ups Gwyneth’s lap dance Kate Hudson’s joint “hot mess”-themed birthday party with Jennifer Meyer was this weekend. She broadcast most of it on social media so you don’t feel like you missed out.

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Selma’s caped shoulders The caping is just over the shoulders, while the back remains bare. Like it? I do. It’s like shoulder-wings. Or soft armour. It’s so flattering. And I love that, as opposed to a true cape, the effect from the front and the back is the same. By Lainey • Apr 25, 2016 11:15 am
Maple Leaf Diane & Joshua in the sun Diane Kruger and Norman Reedus promoted their film Sky in New York recently. Click here to see those awkward pictures. They also interviewed each other for Buzzfeed a few days ago. Several of you emailed me after reading that article to say that you could feel the tension between them By Lainey • Apr 25, 2016 11:01 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Joan Jett’s sheer stars So good that she’s not wearing this top with a bra underneath because I feel like it would ruin the effect of the stars. Which is always the dilemma with sheer. It always takes away from the design of it when you have to be “modest”. It’s just By Lainey • Apr 25, 2016 10:08 am
Quiveration Charlie in New York This weekend was already amazing, what with Beyoncé’s Lemonade and Game Of Thrones and now new pictures of Charlie Hunnam. He was in New York the other day with his partner Morgana McNelis. She is tall. I always forget that she’s so tall. Like 5 ft 9 at By Lainey • Apr 25, 2016 09:58 am
Music Lemonade: Beyoncé’s Black Feminist Declaration It is important that the word ‘black’ is in this headline. A few outlets have omitted that word from the bolded titles of their respective Lemonade reviews. They’ve focused on the visual album’s Southern Gothic influences, the fashion, and Becky. Yes, all of those things are worthy of By Kathleen • Apr 25, 2016 09:31 am
Music Lemonade: Beyoncé’s Black Feminist Domination Please note: Kathleen’s piece on Beyoncé will follow mine. Because there’s just so much to unpack. You could write a think-piece on every single frame of Lemonade and it almost still wouldn’t be enough. Lemonade, of course, as you know now, is Beyoncé’s visual album, By Lainey • Apr 25, 2016 09:09 am
Game of Thrones Game of Thrones 6.1: “I saw him in the flames” Game of Thrones Season 6, Episode 1 recap SPOILERS We’re back! And we’re having a coming out party for the women of Westeros.
