Movie Reviews and Previews Sonic no longer has human teeth Last spring we saw a trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog, a live-action movie based on the classic video game.

And Sonic the Hedgehog was delayed three By Sarah • Nov 13, 2019 11:17 am
TV Updates Quibi is still a thing: Nicole Richie edition Every time I see a new story about Quibi, I’m reminded that 1. It exists, kind of and 2. It isn’t quite anything yet. It hasn’t launched, but the money behind it has been busy acquiring talent and picking up shows with Chrissy Teigen, Zac Efron, Justin By Maria • Nov 13, 2019 10:11 am
TV Updates Disney+ launches with The Mandalorian Disney+ launched yesterday with much fanfare and crashing servers. People struggled to log on all day (my first attempt failed, but it was smooth sailing after attempt number two), and headlines screamed all day about how overwhelmed the service was with new users signing on. I am sure the struggle By Sarah • Nov 13, 2019 09:43 am
Chrissy Teigen John Legend: PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive 2019 Didn’t see this one coming – but probably it’s because I’d already decided back in May/June that Keanu Reeves should be PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2019 which is why I didn’t bother running the prediction feature we do every year here on the site.

Gross Intro for November 13, 2019 Dear Gossips, If you’ve been visiting this site a while, you know how much I love gross sh-t. Dr Pimple Popper is just my appetiser. My self-care is panda videos and looking for the gnarliest, nastiest ooze and goo and body fungus I can find. Which is something I By Lainey • Nov 13, 2019 08:37 am
What Else What Else? When I saw this headline I thought maybe it was an archived link. From like 2005? Next year will mark the 15th anniversary of Kate Moss and Pete Doherty. And those of us who remember those times...don’t necessarily want to remember those times. And the thing is, it By Lainey • Nov 12, 2019 04:20 pm
TV Updates Watchmen: The villain (probably) enters the scene Even though episode four, “If You Don’t Like My Story, Write Your Own”, adds another new character to the Watchmen pile, several threads also start coming together. The cold open introduces a nice childless farming couple who live next door to a giant and mysterious clock that is under By Sarah • Nov 12, 2019 03:45 pm
Maple Leaf Courtside with Shawn and Camila What did I tell you last week when I posted about Camila Cabello being papped while on the phone, assuring us that she and Shawn Mendes were still together? I wrote that Shawn was on break from his tour soon and that we’d be imminently getting another relationship update By Lainey • Nov 12, 2019 03:21 pm
BFFs The Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson Buddy Circle The working title of this piece was “Evans and ScarJo circle jerk”; I cleaned up the headline because I am a PROFESSIONAL. But make no mistake, any interview format that involves actors interviewing each other is a circle jerk, and the Variety “Actors on Actors” series is no different. It’ By Sarah • Nov 12, 2019 02:34 pm
Award Season Campaigning Brad and Adam, the actors Variety’s Actors on Actors series is hit and miss for me. And it all depends on the actors. Sarah’s got Scarlett Johansson and Chris Evans coming up next and there’s some intrigue and insight there because of the Avengers connection and for me, I’m always curious By Lainey • Nov 12, 2019 02:12 pm
Celebrity Social Media Celebrity Social Media, November 12, 2019 Brooklyn Nine-Nine is one of those shows that might not have the biggest audience, but the fans are diehards – it was basically saved by a social media campaign. It’s gone through changes, too - what happened with Chelsea Peretti’s character Gina? When she left the show, she gave By Maria • Nov 12, 2019 01:29 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews Last Christmas in London In the previous post about Charlie’s Angels, I posted about the movies that aren’t for critics but people love them anyway. Here’s another example – Independence Day, the original, from 1996 starring Will Smith. Critics weren’t into it. I regularly watch the sh-t out of that movie By Lainey • Nov 12, 2019 11:49 am
Girlcrushes Good Morning, Angels Charlie’s Angels opens this weekend and director Elizabeth Banks and stars Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska were in Hollywood last night for the premiere. At post time reviews for the film have not yet been released which, normally, is not a good sign. At the same time, By Lainey • Nov 12, 2019 10:45 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Noah Centineo: The People’s Comedy Movie Star LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. Remember what I just said in the previous post about the People’s Choice Awards? That they mean nothing. Well… Here’s a good example. Noah Centineo was the People’s Choice for Best Comedy Movie Star. Not any of the stars of Booksmart, one of the funniest movies By Lainey • Nov 12, 2019 10:02 am
TV Updates Jennifer Aniston: The People’s Icon I say this every year about the People’s Choice Awards – they don’t mean anything. And it’s comical how little they mean. Like it’s always been unclear who actually votes for them. And if you see the list, some of the categories and their winners are as By Lainey • Nov 12, 2019 09:32 am
