BFFs MBJ gets emotional Sarah started the site off today with a post about Timothée Chalamet and how he’s been cracking us up with his Marty Supreme…fruitionising, LOL. As I mentioned on Monday, Timmy hasn’t been making the rounds on the usual Oscar campaign stops, focusing instead on the hilarious marketing By Lainey • Nov 21, 2025 02:12 pm
Quiveration The Vanity Fair All-Men Hollywood Issue Up until last year, Vanity Fair’s annual Hollywood issue was always released in February-ish timed for around the Oscars.

Leonardo DiCaprio All the Actors… but one It is very funny to me that for all the campaigning we’ve seen, and for all the debate that happened last year when Timothée Chalamet won the SAG Award and declared that he was aspiring to greatness, that he’s actually the one who’s been skipping so many, By Lainey • Nov 17, 2025 03:05 pm
Tom Cruise MBJ returns the favour On Wednesday the Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning train made a brief stop in Cannes.

Movie Reviews and Previews Michael B Jordan 2x Ryan Coogler’s secret project starring Michael B. Jordan is called Sinners, and it’s a vampire movie. This will be tough for Lainey, because MBJ is playing a dual role and looks equally hot in both parts, but Sinners also looks scary and, well, she doesn’t do horror. By Sarah • Jan 29, 2025 11:11 am

Quiveration Michael B Jordan: Quiet Time and Love Island We have barely posted about Michael B. Jordan this year, because that’s how MBJ prefers to manage his celebrity.
