Maple Leaf Intro for April 1, 2019 Dear Gossips, There won’t be any April fooling on this site today, partly because I’m not clever enough to run a prank but also because I’ve never associated foolishness with the date.

Lifestyle Duana Names: Back Off, Sussexes Hi Duana, I'm expecting my second child (gender to remain a mystery until arrival) the first week of April and am unreasonably panicked over our lack of boy names.

What Else What Else? We’ve received a few emails this week asking for commentary on Cardi B and #survivingCardiB. Duana and I will be covering this on the next episode of Show Your Work.

Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Soreness Hi Hayley, I'm writing for two reasons: First reason: when I work out I'm in a lot of pain after. I've had shin splints in the past and now get them touch and go. But I get really knotty calves from working out. I By Hayley • Mar 29, 2019 03:41 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Dev Patel and Armie Hammer in Hotel Mumbai Hotel Mumbai is a docu-drama that recreates the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks, with a particular focus on the siege of the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel.

Lifestyle Outfit of the Week: Jessica Williams's dress and camouflage jacket Let’s start with the dress – suuuuch a good dress with all those different shades of colours blending into each other, all of it anchored by that print of a tree, making her look even taller than she already is.

Movie Reviews and Previews NO THANKS, Scary Stories The Super Bowl teasers for the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark movie left a mixed impression.

TV Updates Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ Veep comeback is everything you could want, and she knows it The seventh and final season of Veep premieres this Sunday, and it’s just as sharp, biting, and brilliant as ever.

She’s been making the media rounds By Joanna • Mar 29, 2019 01:49 pm
Douchebags I know Jake’s face Jake Gyllenhaal and Tom Sturridge met up with Adele for dinner last night. As already established earlier this week when Adele and Jennifer Lawrence hung out at Pieces, celebrity friendship is good for gossip.
