Movie Reviews and Previews Bombshell is coming for Oscar…and is MBJ coming for Charlize? Last week at LaineyGossip, we played “Leave Room For” in the Oscar race. Sarah wrote that award season has to leave room for 1917 and in my post about leaving room for Queen & Slim, I mentioned that we also have to leave room for Bombshell. Bombshell comes out December By Lainey • Oct 15, 2019 12:33 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews How Harley Quinn got her groove back I have two wishes for pop culture in 2020. One is that Dev Patel becomes the next James Bond. The other is that we take Birds of Prey as seriously as we’re taking Joker. I want a full Harley Quinn Discourse. I want us to discuss the emotional, romantic, By Sarah • Oct 01, 2019 03:09 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews THE Suicide Squad The cast for James Gunn’s THE Suicide Squad mulligan has been taking shape for the last several months, including additions of Taika Waititi and Idris Elba (now playing an unknown role, as apparently Will Smith wants to hang onto Deadshot in case Gunn successfully reboots this franchise). Friday afternoon, By Sarah • Sep 16, 2019 12:21 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The Other Bombshell Recently, the title “Bombshell” has been most affiliated with Hedy Lamarr, who has been relaunched into public awareness largely thanks to a documentary called Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story. However, there is a new Bombshell on the block, and it’s the story of Roger Ailes’ downfall starring Nicole Kidman, By Sarah • Aug 21, 2019 01:44 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Quentin Tarantino’s wistful Hollywood fairytale You could never accuse Quentin Tarantino of being a brief storyteller, but even by his loquacious cinematic standards, Once Upon a Time in… Hollywood is shambolic, a shaggy, unkempt story that wanders to and fro, sliding back and forth in time with extended flashbacks and multiple shows-within-a-show. The pacing is By Sarah • Jul 25, 2019 01:24 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The Passing Through Interview Watching big stars avoid traditional press is becoming its own form of entertainment. Beyoncé comes to mind, obviously, but Angelina Jolie doesn’t much do the talk show circuit either. And she too has written her own essays for fashion magazines. Angelina junketed for First They Killed My Father though By Lainey • Jul 23, 2019 12:10 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Margot Robbie’s Barbie, by Greta Gerwig “Life in plastic” finally looks fantastic, now that Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach will team up to co-write the long-gestating Barbie movie. Margot Robbie is still set to star in the title role, which has bounced around from Amy Schumer to Anne Hathaway, and changed hands between even more creative By Joanna • Jul 16, 2019 11:14 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Brad goofs I keep thinking Once Upon a Time in…Hollywood doesn’t open until August. It actually opens in two weeks, on July 26. Doesn’t have much competition that same week but, of course, it’ll be contending with The Lion King from the week before. A more specific audience, By Lainey • Jul 12, 2019 09:33 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for May 23, 2019 Dear Gossips, Cannes 2019 isn’t over yet but the festival’s biggest story is and will likely continue to be Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time …in Hollywood. So the Cannes love affair with QT continues. They adore him there and, apparently, since the reviews have been outstanding By Lainey • May 23, 2019 08:48 am
Faux Gossip Brad, Margot, and Leo’s Cannes dreams Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie were seen in LA yesterday on a photo shoot, presumably to promote Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Everyone was expecting Quentin Tarantino’s latest film to screen at Cannes – they love him there – but when the initial lineup was released a few weeks ago, By Lainey • May 03, 2019 11:45 am
Movie Reviews and Previews First look at Quentin Tarantino’s second-to-last film Assuming Quentin Tarantino actually retires after ten films, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is his second-to-last film. Today, a teaser trailer was released—with those boring ass posters coming out I figured a trailer wasn’t far behind—which gives us our first look at QT’s penultimate movie By Sarah • Mar 20, 2019 03:09 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Margot’s BAFTA Chanel This one is polarising. Margot Robbie is a Chanel ambassador so she probably gets a first look at whatever’s the freshest. This is from the recent Couture collection, presented in January. I get why some people have a problem with it. This is not “pretty”. This is not “safe” By Lainey • Feb 11, 2019 10:47 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Harley Quinn is back, this time Joker-free The only good things to come of Suicide Squad is Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn and Viola Davis as Amanda Waller. We can—and probably will—pretend like the rest of that mess never happened, but Harley Quinn and Amanda Waller can stick around for the DC Extended Universe Mark By Sarah • Jan 29, 2019 11:46 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Margot Robbie warming up Chanel Margot Robbie did not present at the SAGs since, apparently, the Academy is insisting on exclusivity for their show. But she was on hand as a nominee for Best Supporting Actress, and she showed up in a sunny golden Chanel dress that feels like a warmup for the main event By Sarah • Jan 28, 2019 02:39 pm
Drama Award Season Presenter Drama? Scott Feinberg of The Hollywood Reporter came out with some delicious award season inside baseball this morning. So the Golden Globes happened on Sunday. Since the show takes place right after the new year and since they honour both TV and movies, and since it’s the show where people By Lainey • Jan 09, 2019 01:34 pm
