TV Updates Where has THIS Hawkeye been? One of my eternal disappointments with the MCU is how Clint Barton turned out. I am a HUGE fan of Hawkeye in the comics, and despite a pitch-perfect appearance in Thor way back in 2011, the Clint we ended up with in the movies is the most boring, least fun By Sarah • Sep 13, 2021 02:03 pm
Equality Issues Lil Nas X: Carpet Shade and a Big Win Is the art of the live red carpet interview completely lost? Watching MTV’s pre-show Sunday evening was often more awkward than enjoyable. Whatever happened to looking at the artist while you ask the question? The quick chats with celebrity arrivals left a lot to be desired. I think it’ By Cody • Sep 13, 2021 01:24 pm
Relationship Assumption Fighting and Making out at the VMAs MTV is celebrating its 40th anniversary and this story kinda feels like a throwback to the MTV messiness of years past? Axl Rose and Kurt Cobain beefed at the VMAs at one point. There was also a tense situation at one of the shows between Kid Rock and Tommy Lee. By Lainey • Sep 13, 2021 12:41 pm
Music Olivia Rodrigo Lends VMAs Some 'It Girl’ Power Olivia Rodrigo showed up the the VMAs in a dress older than she is. Her strapless mermaid gown is from Atelier Versace’s Spring/Summer 2001 Haute Couture collection. I love this girl’s style. Everything is a reference the 90s or early aughts. There’s nothing modern about an By Cody • Sep 13, 2021 11:51 am
Movie Reviews and Previews TIFF Review: Benedict Cumberbatch in The Power of the Dog That Benedict Cumberbatch is capable of great performances is not a surprise at this point, but still there is something astonishing about his performance in Jane Campion’s The Power of the Dog. Adapted by Campion from Thomas Savage’s novel of the same name, Cumberbatch plays Phil Burbank, an By Sarah • Sep 13, 2021 11:25 am
Relationship Assumption Bennifer: Back on the Block We interrupt our VMAs coverage now to focus on a spectacle that, for some of us at least, might actually be bigger than the MTV VMAs, ha. Actually, no, Jennifer Lopez presented at the VMAs, so I guess this kinda counts? For Bennifer content, though, it doesn’t, because Ben By Lainey • Sep 13, 2021 10:31 am
Gorgessity Normani: VMAs Best Dressed Fashion at the MTV VMAs should not be what we see at the Emmys or the Oscars. Are we seriously hoping for Oscar de la Renta and no fun at an award show that’s notorious for over-the-top ridiculous spectacle? Remember, Lady Gaga once showed up in an egg.

Music Chloe Crushes Solo Debut at VMAs Beyoncé proteges Chloe x Halle have quickly proven themselves on raw talent, collecting five Grammy nominations across two albums, while gracing the small screen on the Yara Shahidi-led Grown-ish for the last four seasons. On that show they play twins and that’s pretty much how they’ve been packaged By Cody • Sep 13, 2021 08:55 am
Music Intro for September 13, 2021 Dear Gossips, At the MTV VMAs last night, for its 40th anniversary, MTV brought back several industry legends at various points in the night to celebrate its history. Which makes sense for those of us who came of age at the same time but I am curious how many from By Lainey • Sep 13, 2021 08:24 am
What Else What Else? R Kelly and his legal team are desperate because this explanation that they just tried… it’s epic foolery. And also scientifically baseless. So f-cking tired of the whole MSG thing. It’s bullsh-t, and it’s always associated with Chinese food which has shaped an entire generation’s misconception By Lainey • Sep 10, 2021 04:59 pm
Celebrity Social Media Celebrity Social Media, September 10, 2021 Olivia Munn has made her first professional appearance since John Mulaney confirmed her pregnancy. It is for Petco and the comments are a very mixed bag (which is always the case when animals are the topic). But I do think that Olivia Munn, who definitely had fans before, is now By Maria • Sep 10, 2021 04:42 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Ben and JLo Premiere Themselves I hope you were watching the livestream. Not that these pictures aren’t dynamite – they’re really, really, really f-cking amazing.

Style Lewis is light in Italy F1 qualifying is happening as I’m writing this. So my eyes are on Italy right now – one eye on the qualifying times in Monza and the other on the photo agencies and social media for Bennifer’s arrival on the red carpet in Venice. Right now, Lewis Hamilton is By Lainey • Sep 10, 2021 02:23 pm
Gossip Nostalgia Bennifer on a Venice Balcony Look. It’s Friday. And we don’t post on weekends. But Bennifer isn’t stopping. So we have to push all of this out now so that we don’t get backlogged for Monday – because by then I don’t know how much more these two are going to By Lainey • Sep 10, 2021 01:38 pm
TV Updates The Wheel of Time doesn’t have dragons Even though the last seasons and finale disappointed pretty much everyone, Game of Thrones was a HUGE success, so huge that, naturally, everyone raced to copy it. Netflix was first out of the gate with an expensive fantasy series touted as “the next Game of Thrones” with The Witcher, which By Sarah • Sep 10, 2021 01:21 pm
