Taylor Swift’s Encore and CBK Style?

There was some easter egging that came into my feed yesterday – something about a third page added when previously there were only two and Swifties were anticipating an announcement, possibly about the 20th anniversary of her debut album and/or other theories. 👀| The letter on Taylor Swift’s website now

Intro for September 22, 2026

Dear Gossips, Oscar speculation about The Odyssey began the moment it opened in theatres, if not before. But the film’s box office, which has now exceeded $1.7 billion, an astonishing number for an R-rated movie, has made it Universal’s highest grossing film ever, and is definitely

Sarah Pidgeon: Gossip, Hair, and CBK Style

Sarah Pidgeon was in the gossip a few days ago when Joe Alwyn was seen hanging out in NYC with Mary Beth Barone. They went to a few bars, no actual evidence that it was more than friendly, except at one point when she was seen wearing his ballcap which

MC’s MUSIC LOUNGE: Music Inferno

Furthering the complete chokehold that Madonna has had on the gay club-scene all summer long, we have the latest release from Troye Sivan. “Party” heavily samples “Music” by Madonna, so much so that the entire song is basically built around the sample. It brings an instant recognition to the

Jennifer Lawrence: Sunrise is coming

It’s been a couple of weeks since Jennifer Lawrence decided on a random Tuesday during back-to-school week to join Instagram after saying for years that she would never – at least not publicly. It was the most JLaw way to launch JLaw on IG: sarcastic but not mean-

After months of lawsuits and posturing in the media, it is all but over, and the Paramount/Skydance-Warner Bros. Discovery merger will go through.

Timothée Chalamet was not at the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art opening gala the other night in Los Angeles, attended by so many celebrities it seemed like it was a major award season stop, like the Oscar Academy’s Governors Awards. I’m talking about the Oscars because there’s

Tom Cruise: Greatest stunt choreo incoming

Tom Cruise: Greatest stunt choreo incoming

As Sarah wrote in yesterday’s site open, Tom Cruise’s greatest role is that of “Tom Cruise”. She is right in saying that his GQ cover story, both in print and on video, is for all the gossip hounds. Pretty sure we’re all still screaming about it. Tom,

Sydney Sweeney did it again

Sydney Sweeney and a new ad she stars in are at the centre of a controversy in the world of sports. The ad, which promotes a sports trading app called Novig, features Sydney, who appears completely nude for most of it, save for the coverage of sports gear – footballs, a

Dear Gossips, Can you hear that sound? It’s the sound of a million gossip hounds howling with delight as Tom Cruise gave an interview to GQ, his first cover profile with that magazine in twenty years, and it is a SCREAM. It’s entertaining in the way that only

Shailene Woodley - Stirring the Algorithmic Pot?

And now, a conspiracy theory. You may join me in my speculation or you may dismiss my delusion – either is acceptable. Suppose you’re Shailene Woodley, and things are going, honestly, really well. You continue to be an acclaimed actress, and your recurring role on Season 2 of the extremely

At some point on Friday or Saturday, during the chaos of TIFF and running from interview to interview and prepping in between, I saw an article pop up on my feed about Céline Dion, ahead of her first show in Paris…something something about how she would require a backing

Chris Rock is no longer hosting

As Sarah wrote earlier today, Lance Oppenheim and Nathan Fielder’s You Can See Everything, the documentary about Elizabeth Holmes, bulldozed its way into the festival conversation by surprise, taking the wind a bit out of Venice and claiming the spotlight for Telluride. Award season is taking shape now after

TIFF Review: Our Lady Peace honors fans with Gail

Band documentaries can be as insipid as band biopics, glossy and polished and cutting away all the rough spots in favor of presenting a favorable, often self-aggrandizing view of the musicians. Not so in Gail, a documentary that is, ostensibly, about the 30th anniversary tour of Canadian rock band
