BFFs The Perfect Interview starring Jennifer Lawrence Earlier this week I was preoccupied by how Beyoncé has redefined what an “interview” with her really means. An “exclusive” interview with Beyoncé (for ELLE) means that the writer, a family friend, is given the opportunity to observe Beyoncé at a photo shoot. And then present her with a series By Lainey • Apr 07, 2016 11:15 am
Music Adele wins 4 BRITs I posted about Adele partway through the BRIT Awards yesterday – click here if you missed that. At that point she’d won, I think, two awards and publicly supported Kesha.

Music Adele is not in black!!! I may have puked out a few too many exclamation points there but it’s Adele and she’s not wearing black and it was a surprise for me and I thought that, maybe, it might be a surprise for you too and also I’m all jacked up because By Lainey • Feb 24, 2016 03:58 pm
Ellen Degeneres Intro for February 18, 2016 Dear Gossips, Adele is the guest today on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. And she’s straight up about what happened to her sound at the Grammys and how she reacted – by crying all day the next day. Although she does clarify that if she’d performed flawlessly, she still would By Lainey • Feb 18, 2016 09:48 am
Music Adele’s Grammy audio Producers of the Grammys confirmed last night that the problems with Adele’s audio were on their end. Apparently a mic got dropped when they were positioning the piano and when they tried to go to a backup feed, there was a sound delay. So, no, it’s not on By Lainey • Feb 16, 2016 01:15 pm
Adele Intro for December 22, 2015 Dear Gossips, Have you read Adele’s TIME cover story yet? Adele, as always, is candid and warm. And decidedly UNprecious. The woman has sold almost 6 million copies of 25 in just four weeks – which is f-cking bananas – and she remains totally UNprecious. I mean obviously the entire article By Lainey • Dec 22, 2015 09:23 am
Adele The Adele bob Adele performed on The X Factor finale last night in the UK with a haircut. It’s a bob. The Adele bob. And because it’s Adele, and the only permissible reaction to anything related to Adele is adoration, people are really excited. Also tempted. How many of you will By Lainey • Dec 14, 2015 09:27 am
Weddings Marriage & Cigarettes Mary-Kate Olsen married Olivier Sarkozy. It happened in New York, in a penthouse, only 50 guests. No photos, obviously. That’s not MK’s style.

Music Intro for November 25, 2015 Dear Gossips, By now you know that Adele’s 25 has smashed ‘NSYNC’s first week sales record. And she only needed 3 days to do it.

BFFs Won't use that word Adele, Emma Stone, and Jennifer Lawrence went out for dinner in New York last night. This is very, very exciting to me. I want to know if they got sh-tfaced. I want to know who they gossiped about. Don't tell me Adele doesn't gossip. Adele is By Lainey • Nov 24, 2015 02:17 pm
Music Adele & Miss Piggy Adele has said that she’s pretty discerning about who or what she licenses her music to/for. The Muppets TV show belongs to ABC. That’s not a free parody. They would have had to ask/pay for permission. And, you know, for Adele, it’s not about the By Lainey • Nov 23, 2015 04:49 pm
Music Intro for November 20, 2015 Dear Gossips, Shonda. SHONDA! Duana’s coming with the Scandal and How To Get Away With Murder recaps right away but for now… Just Shonda.

Adele Countdown to Adele I read a few articles today on how hard Justin Bieber’s been hustling his album, Purpose. And how badly he wants to outsell One Direction. He probably will. But, really, will it matter in 4 days when Adele’s 25 comes out? I leave on holiday on Saturday and By Lainey • Nov 16, 2015 05:05 pm
Music Intro for November 6, 2015 Dear Gossips, Adele. But who else am I going to talk about?

Music Adele gives the best interview “Do you think everyone will be disappointed that I’m happy?” This is what Adele asks Brian Hiatt who wrote the cover article for her new Rolling Stone profile.
