Madonna Intro for April 21, 2026 Dear Gossips, As MC mentioned in his post yesterday about Madonna’s appearance at Coachella this past weekend with Sabrina Carpenter, she was there to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Confessions and also hype the arrival of Confessions 2, so she wore her own pieces from that era for this By Lainey • Apr 21, 2026 09:19 am

TV Updates Is The Studio tackling awards season? The Studio is still filming scenes for season two in Venice, Italy, and, duh, it just occurred to me that they’re probably doing something with the Venice Film Festival, right? They have filmed scenes at real events before, notably the Golden Globes in season one, but they also recreated By Sarah • Mar 20, 2026 10:43 am
TV Updates Madonna joins The Studio Though The Studio mopped up pretty much every major award for a comedy series during the 2025-26 awards season, I don’t think this show is actually THAT popular. Like it’s not Ted Lasso, an Apple TV+ series we can say with confidence “everyone” watched. Ted Lasso had a By Sarah • Mar 17, 2026 10:03 am
Break Ups Gwyneth Paltrow gets the Anna Wintour treatment Gwyneth Paltrow is on the cover of the new issue of PEOPLE this week because the magazine has an exclusive excerpt of Amy Odell’s biography of her releasing on July 29.

Music For the Gays: Two Queens Reconcile One of pop culture’s most high profile beefs has been squashed. High profile because there are two legendary artists: Elton John and Madonna. And they’ve been nasty to each other for over 20 years. Or, rather, Elton’s been nasty to Madonna. For the most part, she’s By Lainey • Apr 08, 2025 12:54 pm
Music Vogueing, Popping, and Punning with Sabrina Carpenter Sabrina Carpenter covers the new issue of Vogue, not a surprise. She’s had a massive year, and just won two Grammys, has leaned in hard to a certain look – and Vogue is all about looks. This look, however, is familiar but also fresh. Sabrina is the pinup for the By Lainey • Feb 12, 2025 02:06 pm
Maple Leaf When Ryan met Madonna Do you think Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman even know what day it is anymore?

Celebrity Social Media Celebrity Social Media, January 27, 2023 The Madonna biopic is dead at Universal – not “paused” or “on hold” or “being retooled.” It’s over, which makes me think Madonna pulled the plug. She is such a perfectionist that a world tour and biopic at the same time would be too much, especially if she is directing. By Maria • Jan 27, 2023 02:27 pm
