Celebrity Social Media, November 19, 2019 Swifties are claiming a partial victory for the AMAs, but there’s still the Netflix documentary. And Shawn Mendes is a target now, too – not because he has anything to do with Taylor Swift’s master recordings, but because he was on John Mayer’s Instastories talk show, “Current Mood By Maria • Nov 19, 2019 03:25 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Seriously, though, Cats???? Since July, I have been conducting a thorough scientific inquiry into What Is Cats? So far, I have only questions, no answers, as I try to determine What Is Cats, a question seemingly designed to boggle even the sharpest minds. My first hypothesis is that Cats is a coke-induced mania, By Sarah • Nov 19, 2019 02:02 pm

Royals Did the Queen know about Prince Andrew and his sweat glands? The fallout from Prince Andrew’s shambolic interview with Emily Maitlis on BBC Newsnight continues. It was a unanimous bomb. A major disaster. A total sh-t show to the point where even the British tabloids can’t avoid it as, you know, they prefer another royal target. But it’s By Lainey • Nov 19, 2019 10:36 am

What Else What Else? I don’t understand the premise of the new movie Nicolas Cage is doing – just that it’s about Nic Cage playing Nic Cage. Which totally makes sense in how little sense it makes. Which means it’s a very good idea and a very bad idea at the same By Lainey • Nov 18, 2019 05:11 pm

Celebrity Social Media Celebrity Social Media, November 18, 2019 Modern Family is filming its final season, and the show has done several family trips as a storyline.

Royals Prince Andrew’s “honourable” sweat glands As noted in the previous post, Prince Andrew and Team York did a piss poor job preparing for their interview with BBC Newsnight and Emily Maitlis.

Douchebags Prince Andrew and Team York: amateur hour It is the year 2019. And we are talking about the sweat glands of a member of the British royal family, the beloved second son of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of England. We have already talked extensively about his fat fingers. Now we’ve moved onto his sweat glands. By Lainey • Nov 18, 2019 10:11 am
Douchebags Prince Andrew and the n-word This f-cking idiot. Before we even get to his interview with Emily Maitlis on Newsnight this weekend, we have to address another one Prince Andrew’s messes – this time his alleged use of the n-word. The Evening Standard reports that he said it at a meeting back in 2012. “Rohan By Lainey • Nov 18, 2019 09:40 am
