Music Intro for November 15, 2018 Dear Gossips, Mariah Carey’s new album, Caution, comes out tomorrow. Mimi’s previous album, Glitter, is currently #2 on iTunes. It’s a surprise. It happened because of the Lambily and the movement they call #JusticeForGlitter. Glitter, as you know, was a punchline when it came out but, like By Lainey • Nov 15, 2018 08:35 am
TV Updates Chance, Cardi and TI get their own show YES, PLEASE. I yell those two words at my computer screen often. Usually, it’s at pictures of Michael Bae Jordan or when I see a casting announcement I’m excited for. Sometimes, I yell YES, PLEASE at Netflix specifically, like when they’re giving me a new musical to By Kathleen • Nov 14, 2018 03:25 pm
Music Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper’s campaign promise We are in it now. It’s mid-November. Golden Globe nominations will be announced in three weeks. And while we do have a front runner for Oscar Best Picture, the major prize, the one that matters the most, I’m not sure anyone is convinced at the moment that A By Lainey • Nov 13, 2018 01:11 pm
Maple Leaf Intro for November 8, 2018 Dear Gossips, Joni Mitchell turned 75 yesterday and was celebrated at an event in Los Angeles, many big stars in attendance. What’s your favourite Joni Mitchell lyric? Probably the answer to this question, about any artist really, depends on your mood. Mine is from a song called “All I By Lainey • Nov 08, 2018 09:35 am
Music Ariana Grande: Woman of the Year and First Wives Club Did I know? Of course I didn’t know. I had no idea that Ariana Grande would become such a delight. Seriously. It’s super corny to say but she can’t stop being delightful and bringing me so much delight. Which is a f-cked up thing to say because By Lainey • Nov 07, 2018 11:05 am
Break Ups The Island of Zayn We are supposed to call Zayn Malik just “Zayn”, no more Malik. I’m still not used to it. Anyway, Zayn is featured in the new issue of British Vogue and in the excerpt, it’s not clear what this is for. Obviously, presumably, there’s new music coming out, By Lainey • Nov 06, 2018 03:07 pm
Music Shawn Mendes and Khalid’s “Youth” There’s a good chance you come to this site for snark. By now, you know us. You get us. We live for gossip and pop culture analysis, mostly with a side of snark. This post will be severely lacking in that department because after watching the music video for By Kathleen • Nov 06, 2018 11:57 am
Music Intro for November 6, 2018 Dear Gossips, On Saturday night, at precisely 11:08pm, I texted Duana: “I’m obsessed with Ariana Grande. It’s official.” Her response: “I love when you have a turnaround.” It’s true. It’s a turnaround. And, if you’ve been reading this site consistently for a while, you By Lainey • Nov 06, 2018 09:03 am
Music Four Spices go on tour It wasn’t much of a surprise. Which is why it’s not really breaking the internet even though I read some hilarious headlines yesterday that the announcement would probably break the internet. No announcement breaks the internet when the announcement is preceded by an announcement announcing that there will By Lainey • Nov 05, 2018 01:48 pm
Music Janet too If it feels like the only stories we’re hearing about the #MeToo movement recently are about people offensively maligning it or about another “disgraced” man heading back to work, know that its founder, Tarana Burke, is still putting in her work. There are still women who are sharing their By Kathleen • Nov 05, 2018 12:12 pm
Break Ups Ariana Grande thanks her exes Sometimes, I get to speak at my old high school. It makes me feel REAL OLD instead of the SO YOUNG that I’m used to but it’s pretty rewarding because I get to give impressionable youth my favourite piece of non-work related advice: Break. Up. With. Him. It’ By Kathleen • Nov 05, 2018 10:08 am
Music Taylor’s big decisions Taylor Swift is currently on tour in Australia. Which is why she voted early. Yesterday Taylor posted her third election message on Instagram. The first time, she identified her preferred candidates and criticised the candidate she would not be voting for. The second time she PSA’ed about early voting. By Lainey • Oct 31, 2018 04:39 pm
Girly Throw Downs Cardi and Nicki’s fight night At this point, the Cardi B and Nicki Minaj beef is going to go on for as long as 50 Cent and Ja Rule’s. Twenty years from now, which one is going to be the 50, hanging on to the petty for dear life and buying out stadium seats By Kathleen • Oct 30, 2018 10:35 am
Quiveration Shawn Mendes gets lost in Japan We’ve been raving about Shawn Mendes’s song “Lost in Japan” since it dropped in March. The song kicked off a new grown and sexy era of Shawn, transforming him from baby-faced tween dream to bona fide heartthrob for the 21+ set. With every awards show performance and every By Kathleen • Oct 26, 2018 11:56 am
Music Britney turns 20 They are three of the most recognizable opening words in pop music. All it takes is “oh baby, baby,” sung in that classic Britney Spears way – “oh baybin, baybin” – to transport me back to 1998. “… Baby One More Time” is one of those songs that is such a snapshot of By Kathleen • Oct 24, 2018 10:36 am
Music Dolly says not yet I am EXCITED. As I posted yesterday, even though A Star is Born is currently the Oscar frontrunner across most major categories, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Bradley Cooper, they’re not letting them run away with it. Nobody is standing aside, not yet. Why would they? It’ By Lainey • Oct 23, 2018 11:00 am
