Philomena Cunk is earnest and miseducated

It seems like 2026 has been quite the year of…endings, at least so far. And with there still being two months left in the year and an already seemingly full graveyard of high-profile relationships, the collapse of institutions and the cultural eras that came to an end, whether

New York Galas, continued

Meanwhile, also in New York last night, the second of the double-header galas happened at the WSJ Innovator Awards. Sometimes I feel like these gala names are just word salad. You wanted to have a party! That’s okay! I will applaud the first group to name their gala

The youths came out for the Time100 Next Gala

We’re moving into the last months of the year, which means it’s gala season. Everyone will have their year-end fetes over the next six-ish weeks, and it started last night in New York with the first of double-header galas: the Time100 Next Gala. There were

A Sexy Good Hang

This post is not about Noah Wyle being named the 2026 PEOPLE Magazine Sexiest Man Alive which, as already noted in today’s site open, is a pretty safe, predictable choice that frankly is a bit of a letdown after the way they nailed it last year with Jonathan Bailey.

Dear Gossips, In addition to the unfunny, lazy, and offensively bad jokes that the audience had to endure on Saturday Night Live this weekend, delivered by a host who Lorne Michaels obstinately insists on inviting back (because he’s the ultimate instigating troll), one of the other downsides is that
