What Else What Else? This is a really good piece by Marin Cogan on the Show Your Work of 50 Cent, the “most versatile man in entertainment”. I know, right? I’ve never thought of 50 that way, but points have been made! And now I’ll be paying closer attention to his career By Lainey • Jan 16, 2024 04:00 pm
What Else What Else? Harrison Ford was not grumpy at all at the Critics Choice Awards last night. In fact, quite the opposite – he seemed quite moved by his lifetime achievement honour and also moved by what he was seeing during the show. As he acknowledged during his speech, as an industry veteran, he By Lainey • Jan 15, 2024 04:06 pm
What Else What Else? Developments in the Tom Cruise/Warner Bros. Discovery deal, apparently Paramount is hacked off that Cruise shot down TV series based in the Mission: Impossible or Days of Thunder universes. Cruise, who famously defended movie theaters in the post-COVID world, did not okay those projects, which maybe helped hasten By Sarah • Jan 12, 2024 04:11 pm
What Else What Else? Did you hear about the FKA twigs Calvin Klein ban in the UK? Something something about it the images being offensive and people complained that she was being depicted as a sex object. Which is so much f-cking bullsh-t because, and twigs called them out on their hypocrisy By Lainey • Jan 11, 2024 04:00 pm
What Else What Else? Many of the men at the premiere of Book of Clarence wore white, including Jay-Z, LaKeith Stanfield, and James McAvoy. I wonder if they coordinated. My favourite, however, is an all-black one – on Teyana Taylor, of course. The bomber jacket is amazing, the pants fit her perfectly, and By Lainey • Jan 10, 2024 04:06 pm
What Else What Else? Today is Princess Kate’s birthday. She is now 42 years old. In other Kate news, apparently she and William want to move into Royal Lodge but Prince Andrew has been squatting there but now that the Epstein files are out there and everybody is talking once again about removing By Lainey • Jan 09, 2024 04:37 pm
What Else What Else? I admit that my reaction to this outfit on Kate Hudson is irrational – it’s not just that I don’t like it, I despise it, to the point where I might actually be personally offended by it. And it’s not the wearer or even the individual pieces, but By Lainey • Jan 08, 2024 04:01 pm
What Else What Else? Quick programming note: next week, there will not be a newsletter for The Squawk, as there are two awards shows back-to-back to start the week, so we’ll be working through those shows and red carpets here on LG. We will, however, be live-chatting on The Squawk By Sarah • Jan 05, 2024 04:02 pm
What Else What Else? HOLY SH-T, what now, huh? I blanked on this knowledge, like it’s not that I don’t remember, it’s that I actually didn’t know it… which I guess is how TikTokkers feel every time you tell them what happened five years ago, LOL. The Fug Girls By Lainey • Jan 04, 2024 04:00 pm
What Else What Else? Oh hi, it’s me again talking about Saltburn, because apparently something that happened on social media a lot these last couple of weeks is people tricking their family members into watching it with them and LOL forever. I watched it with Jacek, my husband – and that’s considered a By Lainey • Jan 03, 2024 04:07 pm
What Else What Else? Stephanie Hsu had a great 2023. She went to the Oscars as a performer and a nominee. She starred in the film that won Oscar Best Picture. She also starred in probably my favourite comedy of the year, Joy Ride. I just watched it again over the holidays and it’ By Lainey • Jan 02, 2024 04:02 pm
What Else What Else and Happy Holidays! We have arrived at what we expect to be the last post of the 2023 – unless, of course, some major sh-t goes down over the next ten days in which case, yes, we will be here. If not, we wish you the best of the season and we hope By Lainey • Dec 22, 2023 04:03 pm
What Else What Else? I adore Emma Chance’s piece on Charles Melton which is basically just chronicling her gradual, line by line, answer by answer, submission to his charms. He is sweet and earnest and appreciative and self-aware and it’s a full takeover, one culture critic at a time! (Pajiba) Staying By Lainey • Dec 21, 2023 04:16 pm
What Else What Else? Kate Winslet is coming back to HBO – this time playing the chancellor of a European country and it’s satire and politics and probably terribly people being assholes so like if Succession and Veep had a baby? (The Mary Sue) The fight I’ve been picking with you all this By Lainey • Dec 20, 2023 04:11 pm
What Else What Else? As we all well know, Mimi works for about six or seven weeks of the year, starting on November 1. And it’s basically a job she’ll keep forever since she wrote one of the most lasting Christmas songs of all time. The song has made her eternal. If By Lainey • Dec 19, 2023 04:03 pm
What Else What Else? Susan Lucci looks really, really, REALLY good. And constant. Like if I told you this photo of her was from 2003, you would believe me, wouldn’t you? Think about the grind of the daytime soap opera schedule. And she did that for 40+ years. Which is how people remember By Lainey • Dec 18, 2023 04:02 pm
