Dumbass Another Simple Favor ends another dumb rumour I mean, the dumb rumour should have ended as soon as it was birthed but you know how the internet works now and how people are increasingly incapable of detecting bullsh-t.

Amazingness They call him Spider-Man We can disagree about movies and TV shows, Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, Drake and Kendrick, Taylor Swift’s footwear, Ed Sheeran’s music… but you know what brings us all together?

Amazingness Queen of All Culture, Mother of the Meme You’ll note in my previous post about Beyoncé today, I did not address her reaction to winning the Grammy for Best Country Album. That post was meant to focus on her tour announcement and the Album of the Year Grammy that had eluded her up to this point. But By Lainey • Feb 03, 2025 03:15 pm
Music Beyoncé All Weekend There was already so much Beyoncé to talk about even before she won all her Grammys last night. So we’ll start there and jump around the timeline. Beyoncé was supposed to make an announcement on January 14 which she ended up postponing due to the wildfire situation in LA. By Lainey • Feb 03, 2025 12:03 pm
Relationship Assumption Kaia Gerber isn’t moping When it was confirmed a few weeks ago that Kaia Gerber and Austin Butler had broken up, I wrote that it wasn’t all that surprising given their ages. She’s 23 years old, in a totally different phase of her life. And after three years together, there might not By Lainey • Jan 31, 2025 11:33 am
Amazingness Reese Witherspoon gives good gossip January 2025 is almost over and this month has been a F-CK. Monsters in power, disasters and destruction, and a lot of celebrity gossip but, like, not really the fun kind – sorry but sexual harassment and counter lawsuits that set off right-wing pile-ons and wild and crazy conspiracy theories that By Lainey • Jan 31, 2025 09:51 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Harris Dickinson and the new actor Beatles Fifteen years ago there were four actors from the UK and Ireland who happened to have once lived together and seemed to be in all the movies, taking over pop culture: Jamie Dornan, Andrew Garfield, Robert Pattinson, and Eddie Redmayne.

Style Tuesday in Paris Paris Fashion Week continues today and Chanel is the main event, but let me just back it up because there are some looks from yesterday that I didn’t get a chance to cover.

Music Timothée Chalamet: Completely Singular I’ve been writing for months during this press tour for A Complete Unknown, how thrilling it’s been as a student of pop culture to watch Timothée Chalamet resist doing celebrity by prescription. Maybe even describing it that way is a disservice itself to his celebrity and the way By Lainey • Jan 27, 2025 11:41 am
Break Ups Sutton supports Hugh Hugh Jackman’s residency at Radio City Music Hall began on Friday night. Lainey previously wondered if Sutton Foster would show up to support him, and the answer is yes. She was there, as was Ryan Reynolds, who was featured in a bit during the show.

BFFs Benny C in Variety It feels like it’s been forever since we’ve talked about Benedict Cumberbatch, a 2010s staple.

Movie Reviews and Previews The Oscar nominations are finally here (someone stop Emilia Pérez) After a couple of weeks of delays and fire-related chaos, the nominees for the 97th Academy Awards are here, and I am in a VERY “I told you so” mood because Monica Barbaro snagged that Best Supporting Actress nomination that I’ve been saying she could get since last fall.

Douchebags Blake v Justin: The Video Assumption move In my post last week, after Justin Baldoni formally filed his lawsuit against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, I called it a “Lawsuit for Gossip” and here’s how I ended that article – sorry to quote myself: “… prior to the Depp-Heard trial, audio recordings were leaked online that were then By Lainey • Jan 22, 2025 11:35 am
