Dumbass Another Simple Favor ends another dumb rumour I mean, the dumb rumour should have ended as soon as it was birthed but you know how the internet works now and how people are increasingly incapable of detecting bullsh-t. Sarah addressed this nonsense a few weeks ago when a totally unqualified random on Twitter claimed that Amazon By Lainey • Feb 05, 2025 10:26 am
Award Season Campaigning Intro for February 5, 2025 Dear Gossips, As Sarah wrote yesterday in her post about the Karla Sofía Gascón mess, the situation has had repercussions all over the award season calendar – and is definitely shifting momentum in the Oscar race overall.

Music Drake is far away Drake is keeping his distance right now, conveniently on the other side of the world, far from the Grammys, and the upcoming Super Bowl in New Orleans where, as we all know, Kendrick Lamar is the headliner.

Celebrity Social Media Celebrity Social Media, February 4, 2025 Benson Boone is all over the radio but until now he has existed to me in theory, like quantum physics. Sure it exists but it’s none of my business. But now he’s a great example of a Grammys breakout performance – everyone is talking about his backflip and little By Maria • Feb 04, 2025 03:20 pm
TV Updates BUFFY IS (apparently, actually, potentially) BACK?! I really didn’t expect good news this week, since the past few days/lifetime have been A Bit Unusual where world news is concerned – and, like everyone else, my resolve to be aware of/not obsessed by the news is pretty rusty. I need discipline. Which has come from By Duana • Feb 04, 2025 02:23 pm
Theatre Nerd Michelle Williams’ journey back Michelle Williams appeared on Good Morning America yesterday and spoke about her current role in the Broadway show, Death Becomes Her.

Music MC’s MUSIC LOUNGE: Musical Trilogies and Whitney-Keke As the old saying goes, “good things come in threes”, so it should come as no shock that when the rule of threes gets applied to music, the result can be great. Beyoncé being the most current example, the Album Of The Year winner is on album #2 of her By MC • Feb 04, 2025 12:33 pm
Equality Issues Karla Chaos Last week, I wrote about Emilia Pérez star Karla Sofía Gascón and her increasingly off-the-rails, weirdly defiant apology tour for (not so) old racist, xenophobic, homophobic tweets that resurfaced in the wake of her Oscar nomination for Best Actress. Gascón is the first out transgender actor to be By Sarah • Feb 04, 2025 11:33 am
Amazingness They call him Spider-Man We can disagree about movies and TV shows, Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, Drake and Kendrick, Taylor Swift’s footwear, Ed Sheeran’s music… but you know what brings us all together? Zendaya and Tom Holland. I know they bring the internet together. All they have to do is walk By Lainey • Feb 04, 2025 10:32 am
Movie Reviews and Previews The New New Fantastic Four I was expecting it during the Super Bowl, but Marvel just dropped the first teaser for Fantastic Four: First Steps, the film more than any other they hope will get the good ship SS Total Box Office Dominance back on track.

Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for February 4, 2025 Dear Gossips, Goonies Never Say Die! If you are 40, you know this war cry.

What Else I’d rather talk about Kim Someone tried to pull focus at the Grammys last night by showing up uninvited and making a whole spectacle with his wife’s body. I would rather talk about his ex-wife who, around the same time, was with their children. Kim Kardashian took North to see a performance of By Lainey • Feb 03, 2025 04:03 pm
Celebrity Social Media Celebrity Social Media, February 3, 2025 The Grammy’s red carpet is often kind of kooky (which I like) but Gracie Abrams in Chanel is just bad. The cut, the fit, the finish – it looked unfinished and the hem paired with the black pumps looked cheap. I love a veil but the way it met the By Maria • Feb 03, 2025 03:44 pm
Amazingness Queen of All Culture, Mother of the Meme You’ll note in my previous post about Beyoncé today, I did not address her reaction to winning the Grammy for Best Country Album. That post was meant to focus on her tour announcement and the Album of the Year Grammy that had eluded her up to this point. But By Lainey • Feb 03, 2025 03:15 pm

Music Gaga, Miley, and Billie: Shōgun at the Grammys I was in flight for the first part of the Grammys so I’d only seen a few looks when Emily our site manager texted me to say that there was a lot of Shōgun at the Grammys.
