Julia Roberts Julia Roberts Always Commits Lainey and I have lots and lots in common – both as people and in our pop culture interests.

Theatre Nerd Intro for September 11, 2026 Dear Gossips, You know how things sometimes (not always) happen for a reason? I had a ball yesterday editing the site, cosplaying Lainey and/or Sarah, guided by the capable (Emily) and patient (lol, Jacek) artists behind the scenes, and scanning the pop culture landscape as a whole, as much By Duana • Sep 11, 2026 10:17 am
What Else High School Girls Are Complex Again, Huzzah I didn’t know Prime was remaking Carrie as a miniseries. That is, maybe I read a headline about it somewhere or other, but first of all, we all know a headline like ‘Amazon Prime to adapt Stephen King’s Carrie’ happens five times a day. Sometimes, something awesome comes By Duana • Sep 10, 2026 04:09 pm
Celebrity Social Media Celebrity Social Media, September 10, 2026 Jennifer Lawrence goes Instagram official (with herself), and you just know she already had a finsta. She is way too nosey not to have social media. This is the perfect first video, because her ‘following’ list is already getting picked apart on the hellscape known as Twitter. But let’s By Maria • Sep 10, 2026 02:08 pm
Anne Hathaway Anne Hathaway Raises Questions At Bvlgari New York and Toronto don’t always have similar weather. But last night in Toronto was particularly gorgeous – one of those balmy, breezy nights that feels almost tropical and laughs in the face of ever needing a jacket. It was amazing and felt like you would have the energy to By Duana • Sep 10, 2026 01:43 pm

Jimmy Kimmel Jimmy Kimmel’s Huge Week Isn’t Even Over I think we’ve all known that since his brief suspension last year and this spring’s Strike Force Five reunion in support of Stephen Colbert, and just… life in general, that Jimmy Kimmel was going to face down any kind of opposition with relish and zeal and absolute banger By Duana • Sep 10, 2026 11:58 am
Maple Leaf Intro for September 10, 2026 Dear Gossips, Last night was the eTalk TIFF kickoff party, celebrating the 25th season. I arrived pretty late, as in, I missed Sarah altogether and only briefly got to see Jacek in *party attire* – but the feeling in the room was, incredibly, almost the same as it was back in By Duana • Sep 10, 2026 09:57 am
What Else Maitreyi Ramakrishnan: The Best of Everything Maitreyi Ramakrishnan is in New York today making the talk show rounds to promote her new Netflix movie Best of the Best.

Celebrity Social Media Celebrity Social Media, September 9, 2026 Quinta Brunson is locking in for Abbott Elementary’s sixth season, saying the fifth season meandered a bit and had some filler. Of course she holds herself to a high standard, but some filler is expected of a network sitcom that runs for years and years. Friends had filler, Modern By Maria • Sep 09, 2026 12:28 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Billionaires suck in bad sweaters Since “billionaires suck” is a theme at the movies, I guess it’s a theme on the site today too.

Movie Reviews and Previews Luca Guadagnino has entered the awards chat Just yesterday I mentioned Luca Gudagnino’s upcoming film Artificial, about OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and lo, we have a teaser.

What Else Céline’s team is working hard Before anyone gets mad and misconstrues my words, because reading comprehension is at an all-time low and nobody understands nuance (and the schools happen to be open today!), I’m not saying that Céline Dion’s team has anything to complain about. For them, no doubt, it’s wonderful By Lainey • Sep 08, 2026 04:47 pm
Chris Rock Chris Rock is no longer hosting As Sarah wrote earlier today, Lance Oppenheim and Nathan Fielder’s You Can See Everything, the documentary about Elizabeth Holmes, bulldozed its way into the festival conversation by surprise, taking the wind a bit out of Venice and claiming the spotlight for Telluride.
