Quiveration MBJ’s baby blue cling Michael B Jordan was in a movie with Zac Efron a couple of years ago. I can’t be bothered to remember the title. Because MBJ played the best friend and not the main event – in a rom-com! Why in f-ck wouldn’t MBJ be the main event in a By Lainey • May 05, 2016 02:02 pm
MET Gala 2016 Michael B Jordan: MET Gala short pants I am trying so hard to stan my eyes into seeing Michael B Jordan’s short pants in a positive way. Up top, the jacket with gold V? Gorgeous. And the pants, they actually kinda work when he’s walking. Sort of. But when he’s standing still, just posing… By Lainey • May 03, 2016 08:18 am
Michael B Jordan Michael B Jordan and Black Masculinity (Lainey: Kathleen’s first article went up yesterday – please click here if you missed it.

Oscars 2016 Rachel McAdams: the Oscar rebrand Rachel McAdams presented last night with Michael B Jordan. MBJ did not walk the carpet. So there are very few shots of him, which is disappointing because, hello, he’s Michael B Jordan. Anyway, after they presented all kinds of people tweeted at me about Gossip Genie’ing the two By Lainey • Feb 29, 2016 03:01 pm
Media Manipulation Chris Rock plays it close There have been reports that Chris Rock is under a lot of pressure to maybe not host the Oscars this year because of the lack of diversity in the nominations. There are other reports that there’s no way he’s not hosting and that he’s working on a By Lainey • Jan 20, 2016 04:45 pm
BFFs Coogler & MBJ take London There’s a really great double profile on Ryan Coogler and Michael B Jordan in the new issue of New York Magazine this week. The interview took place just before Christmas. Shanice’s I Love Your Smile is mentioned early on in the piece. So, obviously, I loved every word. By Lainey • Jan 13, 2016 11:37 am

Movie Reviews and Previews MBJ and a baby It’s Golden Globes weekend. Michael B Jordan has not been nominated and Creed was not included in the film categories, its only nomination was for Sylvester Stallone as Best Supporting Actor – which will be one of the best speeches of the night if he wins, I promise you.

Amazingness Still the underdog Please tell me you’ve seen Creed. Creed was my favourite movie of 2015. It was on Sarah’s Top 10 of 2015 – click here if you missed that. And it was a box office success, honouring the Rocky franchise’s legacy and introducing it to a new generation. That’ By Lainey • Jan 06, 2016 12:39 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Rocky at the Globes This is what I mean when I say I’m torn. Because I love Idris. But this won’t be Idris’s only opportunity, only award season. For Sylvester Stallone as Rocky, well, it’s not going to happen again. And so far it’s my favourite story of award By Lainey • Dec 10, 2015 12:35 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews The Creed era Creed opens on Wednesday just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday box office in the United States. The early reviews are solid. Actually, more than solid. Some are saying this is the best installment in the Rocky franchise since the original. Um. EXCUSE ME. Better than Rocky IV? When Rocky By Lainey • Nov 20, 2015 11:48 am
Movie Reviews and Previews It’s Michael’s time There have been several prestige films that were supposed to take off this award season and become contenders for Oscar and they haven’t delivered. Our Brand Is Crisis kinda bombed this weekend. Nobody cared about the Steve Jobs movie even though the critics (mostly) loved it. Nobody noticed Joseph By Lainey • Nov 02, 2015 11:25 am
Michael B Jordan Michael B. Jordan’s most excellent apology Celebrity apologies usually come in two flavors: 1) I’m sorry you’re upset, and 2) I’m sorry I got caught (sub-category; I’m sorry you misunderstood). Owning personal responsibility is, depressingly, rare in this strata of humanity, but when Michael B. Jordan found himself the target of public By Sarah • Sep 28, 2015 01:21 pm
Media Manipulation The smooth, calculated Michael B. Jordan Michael B. Jordan is one of three cover profiles in October’s GQ, alongside Ryan Reynolds and Rob Lowe.

Movie Reviews and Previews Fantastic Four is an unmitigated disaster The writing was on the wall, but even amid downgraded expectations, Fantastic Four managed a spectacular belly-flop over the weekend. Dismal reviews and bad word of mouth—the movie got a C- from CinemaScore—led to a dismal $26.1 million opening weekend. With a production budget of $122 million, By Sarah • Aug 10, 2015 10:33 am
