Celebrity Social Media Celebrity Social Media, April 7, 2021 When I hear Giorgio Baldi, I think of Rihanna. Do you think other celebrities go there hoping to spot her? This would be a solid plan. Yesterday Lainey wrote about Jennifer Lopez for InStyle and her friendship with Charlize Theron. Someone else stuck out for me: Judy Greer, who is By Maria • Apr 07, 2021 02:28 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews Action Angelina into the Fire Oh, right. It’s summer movie season soon. Which is why there are so many trailers. I just haven’t been in that mindset because I’ve spent over a year in lockdown so the usual markers of time aren’t a thing for me anymore. But here we are, By Lainey • Apr 07, 2021 01:21 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Andrew Garfield’s Nic Cage phase Andrew Garfield’s last movie was 2018’s Under the Silver Lake, a deliberately confounding film that some people love and some people hate.

What Else What Else? While I do get the occasional headache – I have one today from not sleeping last night – I have never suffered from migraines. However, I am close to several people who do, including Jacek, my husband. And also Emily, our site manager. They’re debilitating. For some people, it’s a By Lainey • Apr 06, 2021 04:02 pm
TV Updates The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is struggling We are now halfway through The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and man can you feel the gears grinding on this one. WandaVision took a second to get going, but once it got there, it took off and hit some really interesting and heady highs in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. By Sarah • Apr 06, 2021 03:30 pm
Good for Gossip Saint Angie and the DJ??? Imagine if we wrote the name of every romantically unattached celebrity and threw it into a hat. Then imagine we chose two names.

Gorgessity JLo, Charlize Theron, and the J-dough?! Jennifer Lopez covers the May 2021 issue of InStyle and I really like what they’ve done with this feature – “in her own words (and everyone else’s)” so we’re getting JLo on JLo but we’re also getting dozens of other celebrities and dignitaries, like Michelle Obama, Matthew By Lainey • Apr 06, 2021 11:43 am
