TV Updates Being Beloved Is Buffy’s Curse Famed screenwriter William Goldman said it best – “Sequels Are Whores’ Movies”.

Movie Reviews and Previews Spider-Man’s Hauntingly Lonely Brand New Day Zendaya’s big week continues with the official trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, though I suppose this is technically a Tom Holland-first thing.

Style Zendaya: Something old… with meaning Zendaya, of course, was the main character at the premiere of The Drama last night in Los Angeles. She continues to not answer directly whether or not she and Tom Holland are married – but she also continues to wear the wedding band at all her appearances.

Celebrity Social Media Celebrity Social Media, March 17, 2026 I didn’t think Jesse Plemons would be at the Oscars because he wasn’t nominated for Bugonia. It was an excellent performance and his day will come, so maybe that’s why he wasn’t petty about it. He also had an (off-camera?) exchange with Michael B. Jordan. By Maria • Mar 17, 2026 02:18 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Tall Skinny Dune No rest for the wicked! The Oscars are over and we are MOVING ON! Today, it’s the Dune: Part Three teaser, tomorrow, it’s the Spider-Man: Brand New Day teaser! The person I really feel bad for is Zendaya, caught in the middle of the Marvel-Warner Bros.

Movie Reviews and Previews The Exorcist tempts fate once again The Studio is not the only project in production, as Mike Flanagan’s remake of The Exorcist is up and running in New York, with both Scarlett Johansson and Chiwetel Ejiofor on set yesterday.

TV Updates Madonna joins The Studio Though The Studio mopped up pretty much every major award for a comedy series during the 2025-26 awards season, I don’t think this show is actually THAT popular. Like it’s not Ted Lasso, an Apple TV+ series we can say with confidence “everyone” watched. Ted Lasso had By Sarah • Mar 17, 2026 10:03 am
Oscars 2026 Intro for March 17, 2026 Dear Gossips, Now that the Oscars are over, it’s time to autopsy the Oscars. In Variety, Daniel D’Addario asks, Why were the movie stars in hiding? While the headline irritated me, D’Addario is actually onto something, particularly in the capital-letter Movie Star department. There was a By Sarah • Mar 17, 2026 09:08 am
Oscars 2026 Li Jun Li: Best in Red I can’t get enough of how Li Jun Li moves. If you’ve seen Sinners as many times as I have, you should have That Scene memorised by now – as Miles Caton’s Sammie performs “I Lied To You” at the juke joint, and everyone’s molecules become possessed By Lainey • Mar 16, 2026 03:13 pm
Oscars 2026 Sarah’s Best Dressed – It’s Actually a Tie From very early in the evening, I was calling Rose Byrne my best dressed in a floral trumpet gown, but then I saw Anne Hathaway, also in a floral trumpet gown, so it’s actually a tie. This honors Kumail Nanjiani’s masterful handling of the real tie that happened By Sarah • Mar 16, 2026 02:56 pm
Oscars 2026 Teyana Taylor: Best Dressed (Duana) Let’s get something straight right off the top – Teyana Taylor has had an incredible style run in the One Battle After Another awards season, but she’s not yet a staple on the carpet year after year. This is a good thing. Because let us be honest, both the By Duana • Mar 16, 2026 02:30 pm
Oscars 2026 The boys are back in town Boys will always insist on being present, and it was no different at the Oscars. I regret to inform you that there were many boys at the Oscars last night.
