Music “I can’t make love to you anymore” That’s about as far as I could make it. Robin Thicke’s new video for the song Get Her Back, part of his new album full of songs about getting her back. Her being Paula Patton. The album is called “Paula”. F-ck everything he is so gross. GROSS. As By Lainey • Jun 23, 2014 12:28 pm
Music Is Rita Ora a “boss bitch”? Rita Ora covers the new issue of FLARE, available on NextIssue on July 3 and newsstands July 14. It’s a gorgeous photo. And here’s what caught my eye: the creative director of the shoot is Nicola Formichetti whose vision was instrumental in imagining Lady Gaga. Formichetti and Gaga By Lainey • Jun 23, 2014 09:32 am
Music Baby Girl on Lifetime They’re making a movie about Aaliyah. It’s a tv movie. On Lifetime. Who’s playing her? Zendaya. I wasn’t happy about this this morning. So I emailed the only person I know who cares about Baby Girl as much as I do: Sasha (who’s in Paris By Lainey • Jun 18, 2014 04:29 pm
Music JLO’s new album is a year late Jennifer Lopez’s new album AKA dropped yesterday. She spent the day in New York doing promotion and gathered with friends and family to celebrate. It was evidently a pink day. You know what word I keep hearing about her right now in reference to the record? Twerk. Ugh. It’ By Lainey • Jun 18, 2014 01:19 pm
Music Johnny plays for Willie Willie Nelson played a show in Boston last night. And Johnny Depp played a set with him. Willie apparently introduced him as just “Johnny”. Which, fine, I guess he didn’t want to upstage the main act but if he wasn’t Johnny DEPP, would he have been invited to By Lainey • Jun 18, 2014 10:56 am
Maple Leaf Lorde & Ariana Grande at the MMVAs Last night. The MuchMusic Video Awards. Toronto’s biggest block party, a massive spectacle, an annual tradition, and one of the few events outside New York and LA that draws some of the biggest names of the time. Lorde performed. Ariana Grande closed the show. Both videos are below. Did By Lainey • Jun 16, 2014 11:08 am
Music JLO opens the World Cup This song is a mess. I don’t even know what it actually sounds like. And they didn’t even have to sing live. But the music wasn’t the point. The point was her embellished tights. Also, Pitbull’s pants. Brazilian recording artist Claudia Leitte’s all like, hey By Lainey • Jun 13, 2014 10:24 am
Music Lovers In Japan It’s the name of a Coldplay song off the album Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends. The first time I heard it I thought of Steve Winwood. But perspective is a gift. Because I’d rather listen to Lovers In Japan than the embarrassingly sh-tty Magic By Lainey • Jun 12, 2014 12:26 pm
Sports JLO to the World Cup You ready? The FIFA World Cup starts tomorrow. This is why no one in Europe will be going to the movies for an entire month. This is why Laura, our supervising producer on The Social will be screaming at the television for an entire month (or less – ha!). She’s By Lainey • Jun 11, 2014 01:56 pm
Music Don’t slum this away JLO performed at home in the Bronx last night. There were many costume changes, including an outfit that was an homage to her infamous Grammys Versace dress. We just talked about JLO on The Social today. My colleague Cynthia Loyst, a trained belly dancer, posited that JLO isn’t an By Lainey • Jun 05, 2014 03:14 pm
Music Gwyneth’s Memorial Day blues Gwyneth Paltrow spent Memorial Day in California this year, seen here at the Brentwood Country Mart in a cute blue top over shorts. I don’t know where to buy her outfit. But maybe a publicist will blast out that information using these pap shots and link to her site, By Lainey • May 27, 2014 10:28 am
Music Arcade Fire & Andrew Garfield: We Exist The video for Arcade Fire’s We Exist has now been released starring Andrew Garfield in what may be one of the finest performances of his career. To me, it’s what he’s saying to me as he’s dancing. Dancing by himself. Like totally …abandoned. Completely unselfconsciously. In By Lainey • May 16, 2014 03:34 pm
Maple Leaf Intro for April 29, 2014 Dear Gossips, Everything Almost. It’s Jann Arden’s new album, released today. I’ve had the honour of working with Jann the last few weeks and knowing her the last few months on The Social. There never was a more generous, honest, crazy kind, and hilarious artist…friend…person.

Maple Leaf 14 and under This is what I always say about Avril Lavigne: her fan base never grows with her. So she has to keep going back to mining from the 14 and under demo. That’s the only age range that will appreciate –if that’s the word – her new video for the By Lainey • Apr 23, 2014 12:39 pm
Hook Ups Katy Perry & Diplo Are dating. Apparently they were all about each other at Coachella. I feel like this is a pattern. She breaks up. She hooks up. At Coachella. In 2012 there was a musician. F-ck, what was his name. Hang on, I have to Google. Got it. Robert Ackroyd. Florence + The Machine. By Lainey • Apr 16, 2014 12:16 pm
Marcus and Friends (dogs) Miley’s allergic reaction Miley Cyrus has had to cancel two shows this week because she’s been hospitalised with an “allergic reaction” which some people are comparing to Lindsay Lohan’s “exhaustion”. I don’t blame you. We’ve been conditioned over the last decade when it comes to young celebrities to be By Lainey • Apr 16, 2014 11:26 am
