JLaw joins the circus

Earlier this month, Lainey clocked the Jennifer Lawrence haircare line, pointing to her Instagram carousel and bio change to mes° beauty (that styling is going to give me so much trouble). Now it’s officially here, launching with a new profile in The Cut. Great choice for media – not strictly

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.

So long, Eric Bauza

You may not know Eric Bauza to see him but I know you know his voice. Because he is the “modern voice of Looney Tunes” – performing the voices of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety, Elmer Fudd, Foghorn Leghorn, Porky Pig, Road Runner, and SOOOOO MANYYYY more. His work is prolific,
