Music Ariana cut her hair It takes commitment to create a signature look. Ariana Grande has a signature look: oversized sweatshirt, over-the-knee boots, and a high very long ponytail. Last week she told Camila Cabello the cost of that ponytail – a lot of pain. It’s true. I have long hair too. And every time By Lainey • Nov 16, 2018 09:33 am
Music Intro for November 16, 2018 Dear Gossips, Many eastern cities in Canada and the US are dealing with the first snowstorm of the season. I was watching local New York City news last night and this was the big story – the collisions, the transit delays, it was a terrible afternoon commute. Most people were really By Lainey • Nov 16, 2018 08:32 am
Music Kacey Musgraves: CMAs Best Dressed This is not an outfit I expected to see at the Country Music Association Awards. At the same time, it’s a really, really country outfit. Which kinda describes what I’m learning about Kacey Musgraves and her career. According to The Ringer, Kacey “beat the CMAs by not joining By Lainey • Nov 15, 2018 03:26 pm
Baby and Bump Obsession Carrie and Brad’s 11th time It’s been 11 years, right? That Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley have hosted the Country Music Association Awards? The point is, it’s been many, many years. It’s now a tradition. And as I’ve said over the years, I enjoy watching them, I enjoy their chemistry. I By Lainey • Nov 15, 2018 09:56 am
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
