Movie Reviews and Previews Angelina’s perfect witch cackle Angelina Jolie has recently rebranded herself as the First Lady of Disney, a path lit up by the live-action remake of Maleficent that came out a few years ago.

TV Updates Mr. Ratburn from PBS’s Arthur is Gay and Married When I was younger (yes Sarah, I used to be EVEN younger), my favourite show on TV was Arthur.

Lifestyle Duana Names: Chew On This Dear Duana, A very good friend of mine is due to give birth to baby #3 next week. She massively struggles with names (this is the text she sent me earlier today: "Why is naming a human soooo difficult???"), but she and her partner did an exceptional job By Duana • May 13, 2019 04:20 pm
What Else What Else? Tom Holland was asked to spell GYLLENHAAL on television and couldn’t get it right. I know why they decided to spend two minutes on this – because, I GUESS, it makes for better television, watching a celebrity try to spell, but what’s good TV to me would have been By Lainey • May 13, 2019 04:08 pm
TV Updates Team Silky or Team Yvie Things that aren’t controversial: Miss Vanjie should have won the makeover challenge and Nina v. Silky was probably one of the worst lip syncs in the history of Drag Race. I love Nina West too much to call for a double sashay, but if there was ever a moment By Prem • May 13, 2019 03:25 pm

Celebrity Social Media Celebrity Social Media, May 13, 2019 Last week, Lainey wrote about how Taylor Swift incorporated Game of Thrones into her album promo. What do you think is bothering her more – that a “yee haw ass song” has blocked her from #1 or that the “yee haw ass song” is now part of Game of Thrones lore. By Maria • May 13, 2019 01:35 pm
Girl Sh-t Constance & Gemma?! So far today, we’ve speculated about a queer celebrity hookup and we’re about to get into a possible beef between two Asian actresses. Is this equality? LOL, obviously that’s a joke of a question. Backstory: on Friday, after Constance Wu tantrum-ed on social media about Fresh Off By Lainey • May 13, 2019 12:58 pm
Hook Ups Lupita & Janelle?! Lupita Nyong'o and Janelle Monáe set Twitter ablaze following the Met Gala and it was for more than their fire outfits. People, and possibly me, are convinced there could be a romance brewing between them, especially since there are rumours that Janelle and her frequent professional and personal By Melayna • May 13, 2019 11:57 am
Girly Throw Downs YouTube Drama: James Charles and Tati Westbrook YouTube drama is the best drama, mostly because I’m jealous that young twenty somethings get to film themselves talking at a camera and earn enough money to buy mansions. The best part? This particular gossip starts with a betrayal brand deal for (wait for it) HAIR CARE VITAMINS!!!! (I’ By Prem • May 13, 2019 11:19 am
TV Updates Constance Wu breaks character Duana and I will be unpacking the Constance Wu (bad) work situation on Show Your Work this week.

Game of Thrones Game of Thrones: Burn them all SPOILERS At this point, I think we’ve accepted that no one is really going to be happy with how this ends. I don’t think this is what ANYONE wanted out of the final season of Game of Thrones. Have there been some great moments? Yes. The first two By Sarah • May 13, 2019 08:52 am
Game of Thrones Intro for May 13, 2019 Dear Gossips, If you can’t please everyone, who do you choose to please? That was the task for the showrunners of Game of Thrones – and after last night’s episode, “The Bells”, the answer, apparently, is The Spectacle. You indulge The Spectacle. In that sense, Game of Thrones, to By Lainey • May 13, 2019 08:27 am
What Else What Else? We are nowhere near Christmas but I’m sure this is what you asked for, right? Mel Gibson is playing Santa. It’s not a feel-good movie, because, well, Mel Gibson. It’s been a long time since the words “Mel Gibson” and “feel good” made sense together. The title By Lainey • May 10, 2019 04:57 pm
