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 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
Music The Mr & Mrs Carter Show? Page Six is reporting exclusively that Beyonce and Jay-Z will tour together this summer: 20 cities in the US starting in June and they may do the Fourth of July in New York. Because it’s New York and “4” is their favourite number. There has been no comment By Lainey • Apr 16, 2014 11:05 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Gwen’s out of the cave That’s what she called it on Twitter after showing up with Pharrell at Coachella for Hollaback Girl. Video is below. “Feels good to be out of the cave.” And now Billboard reports that she may be working on a solo project again. More Love.Angel.Music.Baby. Less The By Lainey • Apr 15, 2014 10:30 am
Music Weekend: Rihanna & Drake Rihanna celebrated her best friend Melissa Ford’s birthday this weekend. There was a dinner. And Drake was there too. Good sign? They’re comfortable together in their own circles. You want your lover to be ok with your homies, right? I don’t know if that used to matter By Lainey • Apr 14, 2014 02:12 pm
Music Coldplay’s Magic video: Coincidence or conspiracy Coldplay’s new album Ghost Music drops in May. The video for Magic was released yesterday. I’ve already told you how I feel about the song. Click here for a refresher. It’s TERRIBLE. But while everyone else initially thought those lyrics were for Gwyneth, I wondered if they By Lainey • Apr 08, 2014 02:13 pm
Music Gaga like Beyonce Lady Gaga performed at the Roseland Ballroom last night. It was the last of 7 sold out shows and the final show ever before the historic venue closes down. Gaga is a New York City girl. No doubt it meant a lot to her to have this opportunity. In other By Lainey • Apr 08, 2014 10:38 am
Music Taylor’s stiff bang Trying to decide whether or not I’m feeling Taylor Swift’s stiff feathered bang at the ACM Awards last night. It’s super 80s. And I’m always down for some super 80s steeze. Throw a black bow around that sh-t and suddenly we’re Desperately Seeking Susan. By Lainey • Apr 07, 2014 10:45 am
Maple Leaf Days In The East I love this thing where songs just get dropped, kind of at random. When one feels like it. Keeps the fans on their toes, right ? This one is called Days In The East and allegedly, it is about the romance between he and Rihanna, now that it’s back. It By Duana • Apr 03, 2014 02:31 pm
Break Ups Who is the Magic? Now that Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin have confirmed that they’re “consciously uncoupling”, everyone is creeping every old photo and everything they’ve ever said about each other – or other people – that could remotely be construed as a clue into their conscious uncoupling. No. I do not think she By Lainey • Mar 27, 2014 11:46 am
