BFFs Jennifer Aniston’s Vanity Fair Like I said earlier in the post about Brad Pitt and John Mayer being at Jennifer Aniston’s 50th birthday party, it was the most impressive A-list guest list of any event this year, more than any award show. Her birthday party was what the Oscars want to look like. By Lainey • Feb 11, 2019 12:56 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Amy Adams’s BAFTA taffeta Last Friday, Amy Adams’s red dress in Paris was the Outfit of the Week. It was her best dress of this award season. And I was surprised. Because the dress was so good, so much better than anything she’s worn on any carpet this year, that I wondered By Lainey • Feb 11, 2019 12:06 pm
Music What Kacey and Janelle deserved Kacey Musgraves won Album of the Year. Lainey and I were gushing over Golden Hour all night. We both love the album. I was defending her performance of “Rainbow” to friends over text because while it did feel like it dragged during the broadcast, “Rainbow” is a gorgeous song with By Kathleen • Feb 11, 2019 11:41 am
Music Let Cardi B SHINE That’s a direct message to Offset. I hate that Offset’s name is in the first sentence of anything I’m writing about Cardi B, let alone a post about her first Best Rap Album win for Invasion of Privacy, her FIRST album. Cardi became the first female solo By Kathleen • Feb 11, 2019 11:05 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Margot’s BAFTA Chanel This one is polarising. Margot Robbie is a Chanel ambassador so she probably gets a first look at whatever’s the freshest. This is from the recent Couture collection, presented in January. I get why some people have a problem with it. This is not “pretty”. This is not “safe” By Lainey • Feb 11, 2019 10:47 am
BAFTAs 2019 Bradley’s two wins and first acceptance speech Bradley Cooper was honoured at the Palm Springs International Film Festival back in January and he gave an acceptance speech there but those awards are pre-determined. As we’ve seen, he hasn’t been up on stage very much this award season – until last night when he won two awards. By Lainey • Feb 11, 2019 10:29 am
Grammy Awards 2019 Gaga stays on brand Lady Gaga has always been extra. That word doesn’t seem large enough for what Gaga has always brought to her performances and to her overall aesthetic. She does everything BIG. She FEELS. She LIVES when she’s on stage. She’s Celine like that. Yes, Celine Dion is now By Kathleen • Feb 11, 2019 10:05 am
Royals The Cambridges and the stars Prince William is the President of BAFTA so this of course is a regular event for him and Kate. They seemed a lot more engaged this year than they were last year at the event, but that’s probably because she was pregnant and did not want to extend their By Lainey • Feb 11, 2019 09:37 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Cate’s stone dress We are definitely missing some Cate Blanchett this awards season. With Cate, it’s almost never boring. Even when you don’t like it, it’s not boring. Ugly is better than boring. This dress is not ugly, not at all. It’s Christopher Kane. Hilariously some people online are By Lainey • Feb 11, 2019 09:17 am
Douchebags Thomas Markle’s weekend dump I mean, it’s not like you weren’t expecting it, right? I was expecting it. Last week, when PEOPLE’s “The Truth About Meghan” cover story dropped, with comments from five of her friends advocating on her behalf, I wrote that: The upside is that Meghan’s circle is By Lainey • Feb 11, 2019 08:53 am
Maple Leaf Drake gets cut off This is the Grammys. Set those words to the tune of Childish Gambino’s “This Is America.” The track won Song of the Year and Record of the Year last night, making it the first rap song in HISTORY to win those categories. In its 60-year history, the Grammys only By Kathleen • Feb 11, 2019 08:31 am
Good for Gossip Jennifer Aniston’s two birthday exes Today is Jennifer Aniston’s 50th birthday. Her party was on Saturday, at the Sunset Tower. And as you’ve probably heard, it was probably the most A list guest list of any party in a long time. It could have been an awards show. It may have been more By Lainey • Feb 11, 2019 08:12 am
Award Season Campaigning The BAFTA Favourite Roma and The Favourite have the most Oscar nominations (10) this year. And, since it’s the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, The Favourite was always expected to do well at the BAFTAs. Roma took Best Picture, maintaining its position as the frontrunner with two weeks now to By Lainey • Feb 11, 2019 07:50 am
BFFs Beyoncé is her own Grammys Remember the story that Lin-Manual Miranda told about the time Beyoncé came to see Hamilton and what happened when she met Jonathan Groff backstage? She loved his performance. And in particular she loved Jonathan’s King George walk, so much that she imitated him to him, telling him that, “You By Lainey • Feb 11, 2019 07:21 am
Grammy Awards 2019 Michelle opens the Grammys STRONG Well, if you want to start your award show strong, starting with Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama is one way to do it. I know that the only First Lady we acknowledge didn’t actually open the Grammys (Camila Cabello did with a performance I forgot about immediately after it happened) By Kathleen • Feb 11, 2019 06:57 am
Music Intro for February 11, 2019 Dear Gossips, There are going to be all kinds of think-pieces today about whether or not the Grammys are still relevant and/or how they can stay or become relevant again going forward. There’s no easy answer to that question. But no one can deny that the talent has By Lainey • Feb 11, 2019 06:31 am
