Movie Reviews and Previews Liam’s “little angel” Last week, to commemorate International Kissing Day (there are too many goddamn “days” – like “international pretzel day”, which I just made up but I’m totally convinced exists), Miley Cyrus posted a throwback photo from The Last Song, which is the movie she was working on when she met Liam By Lainey • Jul 10, 2017 03:09 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The Hiddles-Dream is dead (probably) There was a tremendous amount of speculation last year about Tom Hiddleston and James Bond. It was fueled by Hiddleston’s performance in The Night Manager as well as Hiddles’ general thirstiness for the role, and then we spent months arguing over whether or not his relationship with Taylor Swift By Sarah • Jul 10, 2017 01:09 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews Goop at the movies Here is Gwyneth Paltrow yesterday in the Hamptons, hosting a screening of Despicable Me 3 to kick off a run of movie-related sh*t at goop MRKT (sidebar: the way goop punctuates drives me nuts).

Movie Reviews and Previews Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler in The House Yet another R-rated comedy bit the dust as The House bombed over the July 4th weekend.
