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.

Movie Reviews and Previews Dear Evan Hansen polarises TIFF 2021 It makes perfect sense why Dear Evan Hansen was selected to open the 2021 Toronto International Film Festival, on paper. It is the big-screen adaptation of the massively popular Tony-winning musical of the same name, and is a super emotional crowd-pleaser. Plus, with the star power of Amy Adams, Julianne By Joanna • Sep 10, 2021 11:27 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Math-Man Returns While we wait for Bennifer’s big premiere in Venice, let’s kill time with some non-Bennifer related Ben Affleck news… One of my favorite dumb-fun movies in recent memory is The Accountant, aka Math-Man Begins, in which Ben Affleck plays a neurodiverse CPA with a secret double life as By Sarah • Sep 10, 2021 10:47 am
