Top Reads Margot on the picket line SAG-AFTRA organised a rally yesterday from Netflix Studios to Paramount Studios and it looked like a strong turnout. The reason they did it yesterday is because it marked exactly two months since the union issued the strike on July 13. Since then SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP have not met a By Lainey • Sep 14, 2023 09:30 am
Music Intro for September 14, 2023 Dear Gossips, People have been buzzing online the last few days about the Destiny’s Child website.

What Else What Else? No surprise, Kathleen’s piece on Lil Nas X’s documentary, which premiered at TIFF this past week, is beautifully written and insightful and makes me want to see it even more than I already did.

Celebrity Social Media Celebrity Social Media, September 13, 2023 In the words of Taylor Swift, “karma’s a relaxing thought.” So let’s think about Shakira. She had a big night last night and she’s riding a huge wave of goodwill (and has been popular for years). Shaki has 88 million followers, compared to her ex who has By Maria • Sep 13, 2023 03:59 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews TIFF Review: Chris Pine’s Poolman Chris Pine’s directorial debut, Poolman, is, to put it nicely, a kooky love letter to Los Angeles with a neo-noir flair. There is a lot of energy on display in Poolman; there is not, however, any focus or successful management of tone. Swinging from hipster homage of bygone eras By Sarah • Sep 13, 2023 03:37 pm
Gorgessity A Night of Non-VMA Fashion As mentioned earlier in my post about Selena Gomez, the fashion last night at the MTV VMAs wasn’t great. A couple of highlights but overall, not all that interesting. That was in Newark. Over in New York City though, there was big fashion at the Kering Foundation Caring for By Lainey • Sep 13, 2023 03:21 pm
As Seen on Social Media As Seen On Social Media: US Open style Game, set, fashion, match… All eyes were on tennis because of Coco Gauff’s epic win and also because the crowd felt extra glamorous this year. I have two requests: the first is for First Lady Michelle Obama’s strapless denim dress (it’s Oscar de la Renta, Vogue has By Maria • Sep 13, 2023 02:29 pm
Gorgessity The VMA for Best Cutaways goes to Selena Gomez I mentioned a couple of months ago the popularity of Rema’s song “Calm Down” featuring Selena Gomez and earlier this week, it made history, becoming the first track led by an African artist to join the Spotify Billions Club. Rema and Selena also won an MTV VMA last night By Lainey • Sep 13, 2023 01:59 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews TIFF Review: Pain Hustlers The best thing that happened to Dumb Money is that I saw Pain Hustlers before that review posts, because after seeing Pain Hustlers, I went back to my Dumb Money review and revised it as “not THAT bad”. Pain Hustlers, however, IS that bad. Directed by David Yates (of Harry By Sarah • Sep 13, 2023 01:35 pm
TV Updates Drew Barrymore chose a (wrong) side It looks like the fallout from Drew Barrymore’s decision to resume production on her talk show is not easing up anytime soon. There’s been a flurry of activity since she made the announcement in an Instagram post over the weekend that her show would be picking back up By Stephanie • Sep 13, 2023 12:44 pm
Hook Ups Taylor wins and distracts Taylor Swift wore Versace at the MTV VMAs last night. I like this dress, especially from the back… …but I prefer her look for the after-party, this flirty denim mini-dress with different washes in the skirt to make it look like it’s pleated but it’s not. At least By Lainey • Sep 13, 2023 12:20 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Spooky season is almost here I don’t know what it says about me that two of my “comfort shows” in recent years are The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor. Maybe it just means that I really like the work of filmmaker Mike Flanagan, and I shouldn’t overthink it. By Sarah • Sep 13, 2023 11:26 am
Douchebags Megan Thee Stallion vs. Justin Timberlake? What did Justin Timberlake say to Megan Thee Stallion backstage at last night’s Video Music Awards? One of MTV’s backstage feeds caught what looked like an argument between the two before Megan’s performance with Cardi B.

What Else What Else? Kate Winslet covers the new issue of Vogue and I LOVE this photo. I love how … interior … it is. Literally. But also not claustrophobic. Just intimate. And offbeat. Fashion magazine covers can often look like beauty product ads. This is an actual piece of art. This is a PHOTOGRAPH. That By Lainey • Sep 12, 2023 04:01 pm
