What Else What Else? Really enjoying how Michelle Yeoh is playing with hair these days, experimenting with colour and wigs. I love the latest – a severe look on her with the blunt cut and those bangs, it works with the dress and the eye makeup. And as the Fug Girls say, makes her look By Lainey • Jan 23, 2025 04:05 pm
What Else What Else? Totally agree with the Fug Girls here – a French buddy comedy starring Isabelle Huppert and Marion Cotillard? Yes. Please. Make it. Now. Also I love her in this Chanel dress.

What Else What Else? I did not watch the hell that happened yesterday in Washington, DC, though I’ve read enough about it to know all the f-cksh-t that was said and done, including deplorable hand gestures.

What Else What Else? Justin Baldoni and his partners have now formally sued Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. It’s over 170 pages and I’m about 60 pages through it and so far my takeaway is that Justin Baldoni says that Justin Baldoni is awesome and innocent and a hero to women and By Lainey • Jan 16, 2025 04:11 pm
What Else What Else? Justin Baldoni’s bombastic legal team made headlines again yesterday because he came for Disney – something something about communications related to the Nicepool character in Deadpool and Wolverine and whether or not this is proof that Ryan Reynolds bullied him. Another distraction tactic which is part of the DARVO playbook. By Lainey • Jan 15, 2025 04:02 pm
What Else What Else? Brooke Shields is on a press tour to promote her new memoir. She made headlines last week because in the book she talks about the time a doctor, without her consent, gave her vulva a glow-up when we she went in for a medically necessary procedure.

What Else What Else? Between Sarah, Duana, and me, I was probably the one who was most supportive of Elle Fanning’s Golden Globes dress. They weren’t into the ball gown sameness of her choice.
