Music Taylor & Matty in New York As I first reported on Monday, Taylor Swift was seen in Chattanooga on Friday where Matty Healy and The 1975 were performing. Click here for a refresher. Then she went to London for Victoria’s Secret. Now she’s back in New York. And last night she and her model By Lainey • Dec 05, 2014 09:09 am
Hook Ups Taylor Swift’s new boyfriend? Just before the American Music Awards last weekend, Taylor Swift was photographed wearing a The 1975 t-shirt. She and Selena Gomez and some other friends went to see the band’s show at the Palladium. That wasn’t a secret. She posted about it on Instagram. Here’s the By Lainey • Dec 01, 2014 09:26 am
Music Madonna’s Rebel Heart Parts of Rebel Heart, a new song from Madonna, leaked last night. Alan just sent me a link to it. Click here to listen. People are complaining about the vocals. They’re rough right now but this is probably a rough cut. To me this is not what’s offensive. By Lainey • Nov 28, 2014 01:19 pm
Music New music from Idris Lorella texted me this morning and asked me if I’d heard Idris Elba’s new song. I told her I hadn’t and that I didn’t want to. Because…well… You’ve seen his Private Garden before, right? Look. I’d love a situation in which my private By Lainey • Nov 28, 2014 10:07 am
Music Do we need to talk about Nick Jonas? People have been talking about Nick Jonas since the end of the summer. I’ve not posted once about him. Part of it is because I didn’t quite believe it would stick. But Nick Jonas seems to be sticking. Is it the song? Is it Jealous? I mean, it’ By Lainey • Nov 27, 2014 03:45 pm
Music Gaga comes home Lady Gaga has been touring all over the world, dressed in a variety of crazy ass outfits for attention because, well, the Gaga hype isn’t what it was, is it? After a while, none of it is all that remarkable anymore. The more outlandish the costume, the less I By Lainey • Nov 26, 2014 04:27 pm
Music Intro for November 26, 2014 Dear Gossips, This fall I read Sheila Weller’s new book The News Sorority about Christiane Amanpour, Diane Sawyer, and Katie Couric. SO good. Empowering and dishy at the same time – like good gossip? A debate for another day. The News Sorority is Weller’s follow-up to Girls Like By Lainey • Nov 26, 2014 08:30 am
Music Rihanna, Brad Pitt, JayZ, and Grandpa Rihanna was in New York yesterday for a meeting with JayZ. She had her grandfather with her. There have been reports for a while now that she’s been readying a new album. Some rumours had it dropping before Christmas. So far it’s all just speculation but even she By Lainey • Nov 25, 2014 01:33 pm
Music A great ass doesn’t make a song Jennifer Lopez got all wet-haired and grindy for the final performance of the night with Iggy Azalea at the American Music Awards which came with an advance warning that it was going to be all kinds of raunch. Hardly. Instead, it was a lot of dancing. And a costume By Lainey • Nov 24, 2014 12:49 pm
Music Annoying has a brother Can you really be called a great vocalist when it’s just sounds coming out of your mouth with no words? I don’t understand a word of what Ariana Grande is singing because she’s too busy doing sh-t with the notes. She also has, like, zero stage By Lainey • Nov 24, 2014 11:46 am
Music An angel and the shower On the subject of perspective… I’ve written about it so many times, what heartbreak is like at that age – so singular and isolating, so…narcissistic. You don’t think anyone has ever hurt the way you hurt. You think you INVENTED hurt. Despite what she posted on Instagram from By Lainey • Nov 24, 2014 11:02 am
Music Fergie & Iggy at the AMAs Perspective. Makes you look like an asshole. And it took Iggy Azalea to make me realise how much I like Fergie. As I’ve said before re: Iggy Azalea, I am not a believer. I refuse to buy into her star. Madonna was the one who taught us how to By Lainey • Nov 24, 2014 10:21 am
BFFs 80s steeze and a new friend collected Last night was all about Sam Smith’s coat. That coat! It took me back. Back to 80s London pop. Before Rick Astley was properly appreciated. Before he became an internet meme. I haven’t been Rick-rolled in so long I almost miss it. Sam Smith was like the By Lainey • Nov 24, 2014 09:57 am
BFFs All of Taylor’s emotions At this point I think she should just change the name of the song to Lonely Starbucks Lovers. Yes, I can read the lyrics. But all I HEAR is “Lonely Starbucks Lovers”. And reading your emails and tweets, it seems you are the same. I love that they had to By Lainey • Nov 24, 2014 09:25 am
Music Beyonce’s 7/11 In advance of the American Music Awards – and the RIDICULOUS fact that Iggy Azalea was nominated for more awards than she was, WTF? – Beyonce dropped her video for 7/11 on Friday. Which is what everyone was talking about for most of the weekend. And she stepped out with Jay By Lainey • Nov 24, 2014 08:34 am
Music Intro for November 24, 2014 Dear Gossips, I love a lot of things about Duana. But one of my favourite things, especially during award season, is that she still calls her Giuliana DePandi. I’m like a kid when she does it, begging her, “Do it again! Do it again!” It’s the best. So. By Lainey • Nov 24, 2014 07:26 am
