Music Diana & Tracee It all started with Diana Ross, who was receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award at the AMAs last night, staying on her feet during Tracee Ellis Ross’s entire opening monologue. That’s Miss Diana Ross. Not a legend in that moment but a proud mother, refusing to sit down. It By Lainey • Nov 20, 2017 12:15 pm
Music Kelly’s greatness Have you listened to Meaning of Life yet? It has been almost a month exactly since I asked you nicely to listen to Meaning of Life. Well, now I’m yelling. If you didn’t believe me that Kelly Clarkson’s new album is GREAT, her AMAs performance was essentially By Kathleen • Nov 20, 2017 11:33 am
Music HOW? Moments before Pink’s AMA performance, Lainey and I were sh-tting on it over text. Lainey texted me, “Why does Pink always have to wire stunt?” To which I responded, “I have no idea. It’s f-cking tired.” Well, you know what Pink has never done before? DANCE- By Kathleen • Nov 20, 2017 10:13 am
Music For Whitney Viola Davis walked on stage at the AMAs to a standing ovation, as she should, to pay tribute to Whitney Houston and introduce Christina Aguilera. Viola Davis hadn’t finished speaking and I was already crying. The tribute marked the 25th anniversary of The Bodyguard and its soundtrack, the best- By Kathleen • Nov 20, 2017 09:41 am
Music Intro for November 20, 2017 Dear Gossips, If I seem distracted today it’s because BTS is my whole sh-t right now and I’m too busy trying to pick fights with people about how Jungkook is obviously the best, although V might be my #2, and f-ck you, I am totally allowed By Lainey • Nov 20, 2017 07:59 am
Maple Leaf Hero Drake We’ve come to know a lot of Drakes over the years. There’s Sensitive Drake, Heartbreak Drake, Fangirl Drake, Petty Drake, Mogul Drake and my favourite: Hopelessly Devoted Drake. That’s not including the many alter-egos Drake has given himself, like Champagne Papi, Chaining Tatum and 6 God, By Kathleen • Nov 16, 2017 03:59 pm
Music Selena & JB at hockey again When Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber first got back together 3 weeks ago, they were right up in our faces – bike riding, sleepovers, brunches, church, and hockey. Then it went quiet, like for a week. Last week there were no pap sightings of Selena and JB together. They were together By Lainey • Nov 16, 2017 03:05 pm
Music Taylor’s reputation style I didn’t even notice what I did there until after I did it, not that it’s particularly clever. Thanks for your emails and tweets about reputation and whether or not I’ll be posting an album review. Eventually, yes. The reason for the delay is that we were By Lainey • Nov 14, 2017 04:10 pm
Music Ms Jackson, still nasty Janet Jackson was honoured at the OUT100 Gala in New York last night. She won a Music Icon Award, as she should. Janet Jackson is a music icon. This is not up for debate. Put some respect on her name. But no matter how much we glow up Janet on By Kathleen • Nov 10, 2017 11:00 am
Music Taylor Swift’s reputation I’ve been wondering for a few weeks now, on a few occasions, since the first four songs released off reputation haven’t been all that strong, whether or not Taylor Swift was banking the good sh-t for the album release. And it turns out she was. Or at By Lainey • Nov 10, 2017 09:28 am
Maple Leaf Celine at the club I meant to get to this yesterday but we had to post all the Sexiest Man Alive posts. And then I wanted to save this for tomorrow because it’s such a great Friday weekend sendoff but in these times, we shouldn’t put off our joy. Every day a By Lainey • Nov 09, 2017 04:17 pm
Quiveration Harry Styles, cupcakes and puppies AND cute kids. The new Harry Styles video has assembled all things adorable to blatantly pander to his cupcake-loving, puppy-loving, children-in-suits-loving fan base… aka everyone. He is pandering to everyone. Teenage girls may have willed this video into existence but find me a person who By Kathleen • Nov 09, 2017 01:06 pm
Music Taylor Swift is not an underdog As expected, Taylor Swift won Song Of The Year for Better Man last night at the CMAs. She wrote the song for Little Big Town. It was obvious the minute Karlie Kloss came out on stage as one of the presenters. No matter how you feel about her, what’s By Lainey • Nov 09, 2017 12:00 pm
Music Intro for November 9, 2017 Dear Gossips, I don’t listen to much country music. I’m unfamiliar with most of the songs performed at the CMA Awards. But almost every year for the last several years, I’ve watched most of the show. It’s a really well produced show. Like, I don’t By Lainey • Nov 09, 2017 09:32 am
Music Taylor Swift redirects Most headlines about Taylor Swift yesterday, just three days before the release of reputation, were about how she tried to legally intimidate a blogger and ended up getting scolded by the ACLU. As Spencer Kornhaber wrote yesterday for The Atlantic, this was a consequence of her “anti-PR campaign”. Taylor By Lainey • Nov 08, 2017 09:47 am
Music Taylor Swift: release week drama Taylor Swift’s new album, reputation, is out on Friday. So far she’s released four songs. I’m not super into any of them. But she’s already pre-sold 400,000 units of the album, and it’s Target’s biggest music pre-sale of all time. As By Lainey • Nov 07, 2017 09:09 am
