What Else What Else? That Kanye West and Jeffree Star rumour… is wild. But it says a lot about where we are with gossip and gossip investigations and how crazy sh-t can take off – and who benefits from it initially and then who benefits from it in the aftermath. Because I don’t think By Lainey • Jan 08, 2021 04:11 pm
Celebrity Social Media Celebrity Social Media, January 8, 2021 Yesterday in this space I wrote about Karlie Kloss’s reaction to people asking her about Ivanka Trump (she responded “I’ve tried” to someone who asked her about it). After that, Tavi Gevinson, actress, writer and founder of Rookie, took to Instagram stories to call Karlie a “Resistance Barbie” By Maria • Jan 08, 2021 03:23 pm
Name Nerd Duana Names: What’s in a “Baby/Baybi” Name? …Are we okay?! Of course we’re not. Is anything we’re going to discuss going to affect anything, or is it just distraction? I mean, I would have gone with the latter, if not for you guys. This is what we do, we listen to each other, take care By Duana • Jan 08, 2021 02:27 pm
Gossip Nostalgia Outfits of the Week : Britney & Justin, 20 Years Later You cannot call yourself a pop culture enthusiast if you don’t know this photo, I’m sorry. Britney Spears is a popstar beyond borders, famous around the world, no matter the culture. And her relationship with Justin Timberlake is known around the world, no matter the culture. There would By Lainey • Jan 08, 2021 01:34 pm
Top Reads Taylor Swift’s Bonus Beefs It was confirmed earlier this week that Taylor Swift’s album, folklore, was the #1 album of 2020 based on a combination of sales and streaming data.

Baby and Bump Obsession Kit Harington’s Grey Run Do you know anyone who has binged Game of Thrones during the pandemic? I’m not asking to be a dick about the series, I’m asking because as we’ve heard over the last year, there are certain shows that experienced a resurgence in popularity or were rediscovered as By Lainey • Jan 08, 2021 11:43 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Zayn’s new “Vibez” Obviously we’re looking for a different vibe going into 2021 and so far we’ve been getting a lot of the same. Even for those of us who like to stay plugged in, sometimes you need a little escapism and music is certainly a great distraction from the state By Cody • Jan 08, 2021 10:18 am

For me it’s going to be Martin Scorsese’s Pretend It’s A City, which follows Fran Lebowitz around her beloved New York City, a docuseries companion to Public Speaking, which just marked its tenth anniversary in November.

What Else What Else? We’re a week into the new year and I haven’t mentioned Celine Dion, our Queen of All Feelings, yet and that is a problem because… SO MANY FEELINGS. The Fug Girls are giving us the Celine content today – a throwback from 17 years ago when she was honoured By Lainey • Jan 07, 2021 04:00 pm
Kate Hudson Celebrity Social Media, January 7, 2021 Yesterday in What Else, Lainey posted to a story about Justin Bieber distancing himself from Hillsong Church and in this instance, I can see Justin’s frustration. There’s rarely a headline about Carl Lentz that doesn’t include Justin’s name, even though JB stopped actively attending Hillsong services By Maria • Jan 07, 2021 03:10 pm
Relationship Assumption Olivia, Harry, and their friends The gossip week started with the news that Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles are dating after they were photographed holding hands at a wedding on the weekend and sources have since confirmed that it’s been “a few weeks” after they started working together on Don’t Worry Darling.

TV Updates Search Party is back! It feels VERY weird to write about anything else right now, let alone a trailer for a TV show, but you know, life goes on, I guess.

Dumbass Drag Race Drama: Dragdemic We’re only on Day 7 of the new year, and I’m already looking forward to 2022.

In case you missed it, here’s the breakdown: Unfortunately, By Prem • Jan 07, 2021 12:27 pm
TV Updates The History of Swear Words: 2021’s first disappointment I had such hopes. The History of Swear Words looked like the right combination of interesting and funny, and while the full series is sort of interesting, it is not very funny. And worse, pursuit of jokes actually makes it less interesting. The series, directed by Christopher D’Elia—not By Sarah • Jan 07, 2021 11:40 am
