Faux Gossip Intro for May 4, 2017 Dear Gossips, This is the cover of the new issue of US Weekly - what really happened on the plane last September to kick off World War Brange.

Movie Reviews and Previews David Fincher does Brad Pitt a solid Today in WTF News: David Fincher has signed on to direct World War Z 2. The last time Fincher directed a sequel was Alien 3, his first feature film, all the way back in 1992. The last time Brad Pitt starred in a good World War Z movie is never.

Faux Gossip Sienna Miller: Brad Pitt’s not-yet girlfriend Earlier this week Page Six reported that Brad Pitt and Sienna Miller seemed super into each other at The Lost City Of Z premiere in LA.

Baby and Bump Obsession Angelina’s weekend in London Angelina Jolie and all six kids were photographed at LAX on Saturday heading to London. Where I grew up, in Toronto, the unofficial term for this time of year is “March break”. Some schools call it “winter break”. And of course in the US I’ve heard “spring break”.

Coincidence or conspiracy World War Brange: the new game It was a game we watched for a decade: Coincidence or Conspiracy, Brange and Jennifer Aniston – when one side did something, conveniently, the other side would show up with something else.
