Beyoncé and Jay Z’s now annual Gold Party, in its second year, held in the Chateau Marmont parking lot, brings in even bigger names. And many of those big names By Lainey • Feb 26, 2019 11:19 am

Coincidence or conspiracy Kanye vs Drake, the saga continues As Lainey mentioned in her intro, The Social: Year in Gossip airs tonight in primetime on CTV. We shot it last week.

Gossip Nostalgia Drake’s 2000s Birthday Not many things make me feel old because I’m SO young, as you know. The 20th anniversary of “...Baby One More Time” didn’t make me feel old. The fact that High School Musical: Senior Year came out 10 years ago yesterday didn’t faze me either. As important By Kathleen • Oct 25, 2018 10:38 am
Drake Drake Intro for October 24, 2018 Dear Gossips, Remember back in March, when Drake went viral for playing Fortnite on Twitch with Ninja?

Music Pusha’s side The tea is hot and the plot is THICK. Pusha Tea is delivering on his nickname once again. On Monday, I wrote about Drake’s version of the events leading up to best rap beef of summer ‘18 (I’m putting Cardi and Nicki squarely in the fall season). Drake By Kathleen • Oct 17, 2018 03:31 pm

Music Kanye rants The last time we checked in on Kanye West and Drake, Kanye was apologizing, saying sorry for work sh-t like record releases and studio time and whatever part he supposedly played in the Drake/Pusha T beef. Now, it’s personal and Kanye is no longer repentant. Yesterday in a By Kathleen • Sep 21, 2018 10:06 am
Boy Sh-t Kanye’s apology tour Kanye West apologized to Drake in a series of tweets yesterday. Last week, he expressed remorse for his outlandish “slavery sounds like a choice” comments on TMZ. I won’t call that one a proper apology because in classic New Kanye form, he didn’t exactly admit he was wrong. By Kathleen • Sep 06, 2018 09:48 am
Maple Leaf Official “Feelings” Sorry if you were misled into thinking this post would be about Celine. To me, the word “feelings” and “Celine Dion” are interchangeable and she owns them, all of them.
