Amazingness Swoki: the nomination and the confirmation Duana posted about the Emmy nominations earlier. And at the end of the post, yes, Tom Hiddleston received a nomination for his work in The Night Manager. Which means… Swoki Love has to last until the Emmys, right?

Maple Leaf Celine’s Parisian farewell There are farewells… and then there are Celine Dion farewells. Celine in Paris has become the best part of our dark days, non? On Saturday Celine was seen in Paris filming what’s presumably a new video in jeans and a long jacket. She can emote, even when she’s By Lainey • Jul 11, 2016 05:12 pm
Maple Leaf Celine’s heart will go on See? You see how generous she is? I have been waiting all day for Celine Dion to step out of her hotel in Paris to give us something, something we can share, something we can group hug about. I begged for it in the open. And she came through, as By Lainey • Jul 08, 2016 03:40 pm
Amazingness Mimi meets the challenge These are bleak times. This is the word Mimi likes to use when the lighting is bad. But this week, for those less fortunate – basically everyone – it’s been a f-cking asskicker. Which is why we need all of Celine’s Joy and … all of Mimi’s festive. Festive, in By Lainey • Jul 07, 2016 05:30 pm
Maple Leaf Pope Celine I have a problem. It’s a serious problem. My problem is this: Mimi is my JOY. My Butterfly JOY. But…lately? Celine Dion is the JOY. Celine in Paris has been the Miracle Joy. (She loves miracles. She talks about miracles like Mimi talks about moments.) Almost every single By Lainey • Jul 07, 2016 01:08 pm
Amazingness The Shallows: Mimi version Yesterday a reader called Jessie sent me Wesley Morris’s review of Blake Lively’s The Shallows for The New York Times.

Amazingness Bradley Cooper dancing Glastonbury just wrapped up. All kinds of celebrities show up but, so far, I don’t feel about it the way I feel about Coachella which has become People Dressed Like Assholes Pretending To Care About Music.

Amazingness The Real Magic of Jesse Williams Jesse Williams was honoured last night with the Humanitarian Award at the BET Awards for his work with the Black Lives Matter movement.

Music Beyoncé & Kendrick’s opening Freedom Beyoncé was not announced to perform at the BET Awards last night. As we’ve seen, surprise is her thing. And the song she chose to surprise with to open the show was Freedom. If you’ve been to the Formation tour, you know this performance. It comes near the By Lainey • Jun 27, 2016 10:04 am
BFFs Batman Taylor Swift We’ve heard Taylor Swift described as many things, in many ways. But Batman? I did not see that coming. Dave Grohl was in Cannes for a private performance, and before he played his song he told a long anecdote about being at a party with Paul McCartney. Paul gets By Maria • Jun 23, 2016 03:21 pm
Maple Leaf Intro for June 22, 2016 Dear Gossips, There were nights when the wind was so cold… When Celine Dion tells me that the wind is so cold, I believe that she believes that the wind has never been colder. Because Celine is the gatekeeper of all feelings. The feeling I want to share with you By Lainey • Jun 22, 2016 09:37 am
Amazingness Mimi answers with kicks Kathleen wrote in the previous post that Demi Lovato, for whatever reason, has taken it upon herself to defend JLO over our Mimi, calling Mimi “mean” and “rude”. OK but, um, again, when has Mimi ever been advertised as otherwise? This is what I don’t understand – at what point By Lainey • Jun 20, 2016 11:55 am

Baby and Bump Obsession Will gets told As mentioned in the open earlier, we are looking for joy. And while the internet, and Twitter in particular, can be the opposite of joy, there’s no denying that when the internet gives, it gives so good. So, on top of all the Swoki happiness we’ve been delighting By Lainey • Jun 16, 2016 03:59 pm
Music Beyoncé & Gabrielle Here are some new shots of Beyoncé today and yesterday in New York.

Amazingness Hamilton at the Tony Awards “I am inimitable, I am an original” You could be forgiven if you felt a little overwhelmed by the amount of Hamilton coverage lately. It’s so ubiquitous because Lin-Manuel Miranda and the show Hamilton are at once separate entities and inextricably linked. Miranda won two Tonys personally last night, By Duana • Jun 13, 2016 02:40 pm
