Music Intro for March 20, 2015 Dear Gossips, Zayn is always the one you worry about. He always seemed to be the most fragile. And he wears it on his body. So this “stress leave”, over a few photos that showed up on social media, and the ensuing anxiety for both him and his fiancée…I By Lainey • Mar 20, 2015 09:50 am
Maple Leaf Madonna will wait for Justin Bieber If Madonna thinks he’s hot, are you still giving me sh-t when I say I think he’s hot? Probably. But I’m telling you, if you just look at him and you don’t think about WHO HE IS, he’s hot. No? Fine. We will agree to By Lainey • Mar 18, 2015 03:57 pm
Music The only combination This must be how some people feel about Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt. It was certainly how I felt about Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow. That I could never see him with anyone else…until Angelina Jolie happened. And now, with Brange, there is no other combination. Which is kinda By Lainey • Mar 16, 2015 03:35 pm
Music FKA twigs’s Savage Beauty I tried to go to the Alexander McQueen Savage Beauty exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art a few years ago. It was a summer. A really hot day. I was in New York for a junket, and after working the previous night and the next morning, and not really By Lainey • Mar 13, 2015 12:50 pm
Music Madonna on Howard Stern Like many of you, I was waiting all week for this. Some of you wondered about the Gwyneth question, whether or not Howard would go there. As I told my friend (and top Madonna scholar) Iain, Howard didn’t ask G about M, so there was no way he was By Lainey • Mar 12, 2015 10:02 am
Music The Life and Times of Rihanna Deadline is reporting that Peter Berg will direct an upcoming feature documentary on Rihanna. They know each other from Battleship, and we know Peter from Friday Night Lights (and more). Friday Night Rihanna, oh my God. Rihanna, for me, is the pop star of her generation but she also embodies By Maria • Mar 11, 2015 02:28 pm
Music Selena & Zedd: the video Selena Gomez was in Paris today for the Louis Vuitton presentation. Last night the new video for her song with Zedd, I Want You To Know, was released online. She’s dancing. She’s sweating. She changes multiple times. To me it looks like an advertisement for GUESS by Marciano. By Lainey • Mar 11, 2015 12:50 pm
Girlcrushes Kelly Clarkson is your favourite No, really, isn’t she? She’s my favourite. I can’t be neutral on Kelly Clarkson. All I can do is go positive, ultra-positive, all the time. Because she’s SO lovely, SO nice, SO fun. And it’s real. You can tell when it’s not real. On By Lainey • Mar 03, 2015 02:09 pm
Music Madonna after the fall Madonna looked great last night in London, seen here leaving her party at a private members club. She’s always had the most beautiful eyes. So about that fall at the BRITs, she was on Jonathan Ross yesterday talking about the performance. When he wanted to replay it for her, By Lainey • Feb 27, 2015 10:08 am
BFFs A dragon dress and Hillary Clinton hair Blank Space not Style. She’s sticking with the big hit and I understand this, but I just love Style so much and I kind of wanted a tease for what it might look like on tour. And that’s maybe another reason why she stayed with Blank Space. Because By Lainey • Feb 26, 2015 01:10 pm
Music Madonna falls It’s been 20 years since Madonna last performed at the BRIT Awards. So there was a lot of buildup ahead of her performance. By now I’m sure you’ve heard that she fell. She couldn’t get her cloak untied in time and the dancers pulled and she By Lainey • Feb 26, 2015 11:25 am
BFFs Taylor’s ELLE & Style Taylor Swift was in London last night with all her model friends and musician friends and lots of friends, friends everywhere. It was the ELLE Style Awards. And, can you believe it, she’s not wearing Elie Saab. Or shorts. This might be the best dress I’ve seen her By Lainey • Feb 25, 2015 01:25 pm
Maple Leaf Tegan and Sara & Lonely Island: Best Worst Song Nothing but love for the steeze that Tegan and Sara brought to the carpet at the Oscars, and not just because they’re Canadian. Also not just because Mae Whitman is in their I Was A Fool video. But that too. All of that, on top of the fact that By Lainey • Feb 23, 2015 03:51 am
BFFs Taylor & Kanye have dinner Last night in New York. At The Spotted Pig. Taylor Swift and Kanye West were both there, papped leaving within minutes of each other after meeting for dinner supposedly to discuss their upcoming collaboration. This shouldn’t be a surprise as he told Ryan Seacrest last week: “Yeah, she wants By Lainey • Feb 18, 2015 10:31 am
TV Updates Opening and closing with Justin Timberlake I understand opening SNL40 with Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake. It certainly wasn't a surprise though. This is a great example of choosing to give people what they want over what they need. Then again, the idea of a reunion show is a "want over need" By Lainey • Feb 17, 2015 09:29 am
Maple Leaf Everybody is Beyonce I mean I guess you can’t do something like this anymore without mentioning her. And she wants the credit, godammit! (Or at least Kanye West does.) Drake released a short film yesterday. Then, last night, a new album. Tape? He’s calling it a tape. Collection? Whatever. It’s By Lainey • Feb 13, 2015 02:05 pm
