Douchebags Intro for July 25, 2017 Dear Gossips, People are talking about TJ Miller today. Because the whole point of TJ Miller’s f-cksh-t is to get people talking about his f-cksh-t while he promotes The Emoji Movie which I wasn’t planning on seeing, f-cksh-t or not.

Dumbass Jennifer Garner vs PEOPLE Yesterday I posted about the new issue of PEOPLE Magazine featuring Jennifer Garner. At the time, I noted the story had the feel of an exclusive but that it wasn’t exactly an “official” Jennifer Garner interview. Still, there were “insiders” and “sources” presumably from Jennifer’s camp talking about By Lainey • Jun 01, 2017 04:13 pm
Dumbass This is not helping the way you think it’s helping PEOPLE just published an “exclusive” on Johnny Depp today.

Dumbass This Jennifer Lawrence-Darren Aronofsky article PEOPLE posted an exclusive today about Jennifer Lawrence and Darren Aronofsky. They’re “getting serious”. Fine. This is not what I’m bumping up against. Rather, it’s the way PEOPLE’s “industry source” seems to be rationalising the relationship. And what makes it work. And how into him she By Lainey • Mar 29, 2017 04:22 pm
Dumbass F-cking Sorkin! “F-cking Sorkin!” is what Duana and I outburst at each other because Aaron Sorkin is impossible.
