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
Music Taylor Swift’s Aberforth mirror Taylor Swift loves the number 13. And since it’s Friday the 13th, she just dropped the video for Style, easily one of the best, if not the best, songs on the 1989 album. Also, not surprisingly, she’s wearing shorts. I love Style. So I was really, really looking By Lainey • Feb 13, 2015 10:21 am
Music Janet in Milan This past Super Bowl was the 10th anniversary of Janet Jackson and that punk who let her eat all the sh-t that happened after. I was thinking about that the other day because we’ve been playing some Janet in the studio during commercial breaks. And then I thought about By Lainey • Feb 12, 2015 01:46 pm
BFFs New friends and combinations The Grammys saluted Stevie Wonder last night at a special performance in LA featuring several big name artists all gathered to honour the legend. The show will air on February 16 on CBS. In addition to Gladys Knight, Annie Lennox, Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga, John Legend, the Band Perry, By Lainey • Feb 11, 2015 01:07 pm
