BFFs Angelina & Halle: The Enemies to Lovers Trope I just wrote in the previous post about Joshua Jackson and Lupita Nyong’o and the Friends to Lovers trope. Now we have another trope happening – it’s the Enemies to Lovers trope, very popular, and while this isn’t about a conventional romance, friendships can function like romances.

BFFs Leo’s Birthday plus Olivia and Chris? Leonardo DiCaprio’s 49th birthday was on Saturday and he celebrated with a big party because, well, partying is what Leo does. Partying and modelising are Leo’s lifelong priorities which I guess is kind of impressive, in a weird way. When you’ve been partying for as long as By Lainey • Nov 14, 2023 11:16 am

BFFs Intro for November 6, 2023 Dear Gossips, I am currently in Japan which means I have no idea what time it is in North America.

BFFs Taylor Swift: Billionaire Takeover Even if you’re not Taylor Swift’s biggest fan, it’s impossible to deny the fact she has completely dominated the culture over the last few weeks – and at a time when the monoculture is dying, these takeovers don’t happen all that often.
