I mean, not according to science but generally accepted in society – next week most people will have gone back to school and work after a lighter schedule the last couple of months; and the schedule goes balls out in entertainment By Lainey • Aug 30, 2019 09:15 am

Movie Reviews and Previews The Lion King, but no charisma Jon Favreau’s remake of The Lion King, using photo-realistic computer animation techniques, is stunning. It is stunning to look at. The Serengeti looks real, as detailed and gorgeous as the best nature documentary. The animals are stunning, as tangible as any creature in a National Geographic photograph.

Sarah went to an advance screening yesterday and I haven’t heard from her since. I wonder if she’s keeping me in suspense or if it was just not worth reacting to. Sarah is not By Lainey • Jul 11, 2019 12:47 pm
Baby and Bump Obsession Louis and his sunglasses and the Beyoncé countdown I mentioned Prince Louis and his sunglasses in my post yesterday about the royals at the polo but there are more shots now and he’s so cute and hilarious, I’m throwing up more shots today.

Movie Reviews and Previews The Lion King cast portrait One of my favourite things in life right now is the cast portrait of The Lion King released by Disney yesterday.

Chinese Squawking Chicken Miss Tina “annoys” her Beyoncé Beyoncé is known for locking things down, the ultimate control freak. With one exception: her ma, Miss Tina Lawson.
