TV Updates The Wiz Live! “…Hello, Dorothy!” I mean, come on. Did you see that star? That alleged ‘rookie’, Shanice Williams? Did you see her kill this show, without breaking a sweat? What a blast that was to watch. It’s not just people being nice (when have you ever heard of people being nice By Duana • Dec 04, 2015 11:13 am
Girly Throw Downs Badu vs Iggy and the tweet of all time Earlier this week I posted about Erykah Badu giving it to Iggy Azalea at the Soul Train Awards. As a refresher, here’s what that looked like: Iggy was off social media for a month. But the next day, she posted this tweet, seemingly in response to Badu’s side-eye: By Lainey • Dec 04, 2015 10:12 am
Sports Intro for December 4, 2015 Dear Gossips, The NFL confirmed yesterday that Coldplay will front the Super Bowl halftime show. Bruno Mars will reportedly also make an appearance and, supposedly, they’re trying to negotiate with Beyoncé to drop by too. What does it say about the headliner when the guests are the bigger draw?

Music Gwyneth opens in New York I have no plans to be in New York this month. Which is great because I want to be at home. But it never sucks to go to New York. And if I found myself in New York I’d totally hit up the Goop MRKT. The opening was last By Lainey • Dec 03, 2015 10:57 am
Music Taylor Swift pulled over Taylor Swift is touring in Australia. While driving around today she saw a girl wearing a Taylor Swift t-shirt and pulled over impromptu to meet her. The ended up posing for a few photos. Obviously the best surprise ever for a pre-teen. I’m surprised she’s not telling her By Lainey • Nov 30, 2015 01:07 pm
Girly Throw Downs Erykah isn’t a believer either I wrote a long time ago that I’m not a believer in Iggy Azalea. Even when Fancy was getting overplayed and people were swinging their fingers back and forth reciting every lyric, nah, no, not a believer. I am also not a believer in Ed Sheeran, for different reasons, By Lainey • Nov 30, 2015 10:18 am
Maple Leaf Intro for November 30, 2015 Dear Gossips, Now that all the Thanksgivings are over, can we talk about Christmas? Jacek just put up the lights outside our house yesterday. We are putting up the tree at midnight on Saturday, a tradition. While listening to Christmas songs. Which is basically the only thing I'll By Lainey • Nov 30, 2015 08:32 am
Music Taylor Swift’s quiet Thanksgiving Taylor Swift has been quiet. For a couple of weeks now. Nothing on social media this week, not even a Thanksgiving message? At the time of this writing (Friday 6am) there’s been nothing. Taylor spent the week in New Zealand. She was apparently shooting a new music video (possibly By Lainey • Nov 27, 2015 10:16 am
Music Intro for November 25, 2015 Dear Gossips, By now you know that Adele’s 25 has smashed ‘NSYNC’s first week sales record. And she only needed 3 days to do it. You also know that her accomplishment is even more remarkable considering the way the music industry has changed. ‘NSYNC members JC Chasez, Joey By Lainey • Nov 25, 2015 09:32 am
Music Rihanna is ready We’ve been waiting all year for Rihanna’s 8th album. A couple of months ago, she confirmed that the album would be called Anti. Then, yesterday, she announced a world tour starting in February in North America. In June she’ll move over to Europe. The tour will conclude By Lainey • Nov 24, 2015 10:23 am
Music Adele & Miss Piggy Adele has said that she’s pretty discerning about who or what she licenses her music to/for. The Muppets TV show belongs to ABC. That’s not a free parody. They would have had to ask/pay for permission. And, you know, for Adele, it’s not about the By Lainey • Nov 23, 2015 04:49 pm
Music Bieber is not Timberlake Justin Bieber’s new album, Purpose, is good. I’m not going to make you admit it because I know that the wall of irritation that you’ve built up for him the last two years is too thick for your ears to break through but I’m telling you, By Lainey • Nov 23, 2015 10:53 am
Music Coldplay & the Gorillas And I don’t mean Gorillaz because they would never let themselves be part of something so earnestly CRINGE. They made a big f-cking deal of the fact that Coldplay hasn’t performed at the AMAs in 7 years. It’s gross enough that every time I listen to this By Lainey • Nov 23, 2015 10:03 am
Music I Can’t was there You might not like Taylor Swift but there is no way that Taylor Swift, who held the biggest album in years before Adele’s 25, loses in every category she’s nominated in, and definitely not to I Can’t Ariana Grande. This is what we were dealing with last By Lainey • Nov 23, 2015 09:45 am
Music JLO opens and changes Jennifer Lopez hosted the American Music Awards last night and opened with a medley of the year’s biggest hits. She gave it everything. She hit every move. She was a machine. She was the Entertainer. It was an awesome display of all of her performance skills. But here’s By Lainey • Nov 23, 2015 08:58 am
Maple Leaf Intro for November 23, 2015 Dear Gossips, So the American Music Awards. And Celine. And Alanis. Both sounded amazing. Definitely two of the highlights. There were some notable presenters too. I enjoy the new, much more congenial Harrison Ford. Like, he was never at Tommy Lee Jones levels of grumpy but this current attitude – playful By Lainey • Nov 23, 2015 08:07 am
