Whether you consider Lena Dunham the voice of a generation, or just “a voice” of “a generation”, or just a hack, it can’t be denied: she has pop culture power. Since Girls premiered, Lena Dunham has been the topic of endless conversation, a one-woman think-piece cottage industry. Is she a feminist? Is she reductive? Is she subversive? Is she a white feminist (derogatory)? Is she too privileged to see past her own nose? Is the hatred of her fueled by an undercurrent of misogyny? I don’t know!
Yellowjackets’ fourth and final season comes to Paramount+ on November 20, and yesterday, a teaser dropped showing the survivors’ long-awaited homecoming. In the timeline of the show, it’s been 19 months since the plane crash in the 1990s, and the kids are not alright. Nor are their adult counterparts in the present-day half of the split timeline. But in season four, it’s finally time for The Rescue, and to see how the survivors did, or did not, reintegrate into their lives, and what all se
One of Netflix’s biggest gambles of all time comes in February of next year in the form of Greta Gerwig’s first post-Barbie project, Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew. The trailer dropped yesterday, and it is certainly fantastical and colorful. I would have really liked to have an upbeat, family-friendly adventure film for the 2026 holidays, given that the other big releases of the holiday season are Dune: Part Three (downer) and Avengers: Doomsday (heard it’s a bummer). Oh well! The Magician’s
Jacob Tierney may not be as famous as Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie but even beyond the Heated Rivalry fandom, he is known for his work, for adapting Rachel Reid’s book into a smash television hit. While most of the attention to do with HR is around Hudson and Connor, Jacob’s in the spotlight right now because he’s just released his own book, I’ll Believe in Anything: The Making of Heated Rivalry season one. It’s the collection of annotated scripts, so that includes scenes that were cut or
Wicker, the “raunchy” rom-com starring Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgard is, er, coming at the end of the month. Press has begun, and there was a screening last night in New York. Alexander Skarsgard showed up wearing his most normal outfit in recent memory, along with Olivia Colman, who is sporting beautifully greying curls. They really seem to enjoy each other. I have a longstanding theory that intimate scenes either make actors best friends for life or turn them into enemies. Yo
Sydney Sweeney continues working on The Housemaid’s Secret in New Jersey, and this time she was joined by co-stars Brittany Snow and “Golden Boy” Paul Anthony Kelly. For anyone who is wondering about Sydney Sweeney’s popularity today, she’s drawing big crowds to set, so yes, people are still interested in her. She also brought Scooter Braun out to Jersey, so that cursed coupling is still going strong. Or else they’re putting up a good front because websites I’ve never heard of before a
Tate McRae has dropped her first new music in nearly a year, kicking off what will become the era of her as-of-yet untitled fourth studio album. “Housewife” is a pop/dance track crafted alongside her usual team of hitmakers including Julia Michaels and Ryan Tedder. She’s been teasing this chapter for months now, from dipping her entire body in gold at Lollapalooza a few months back to launching a new fragrance and gearing up for an upcoming performance at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
Wake up, losers, there’s a new Mummy movie filming and Rachel Weisz and Brendan Fraser are back on set! While I am deeply skeptical that we need another Mummy movie—the 1999 The Mummy is nearly perfect and every sequel was a case of diminishing returns—thanks to Brendan Fraser’s career resurgence, it is happening. The Mummy’s technically untitled legacy sequel is filming now in London, and Rachel Weisz and Brendan Fraser, who together formed a generation’s bisexual awakening, were seen on s
Dear Gossips, Ryan Murphy’s latest unwatchable series is American Horror Story 13, which brings back a lot of fan favorites from the AHS franchise for its 13th season. AHS 13 features Paul Anthony Kelly, hot off his breakout role in Love Story. And congrats to Paul Anthony Kelly’s publicist, because despite being widely derided for his acting ability—or lack thereof—he’s one of four cover stars for Esquire UK’s “Better Men” winter issue. View this post on Instagram “The Golden Boy”? I s
Speaking of being on set, Sydney Sweeney and Zoe Kravitz are both working on films shooting in New York right now. Sweeney is working on a sequel to The Housemaid called The Housemaid’s Secret, based on the second novel in Freida McFadden’s book trilogy. The sequel brings back Paul Feig as the director, Sweeney as housemaid Millie, and Michele Morrone as Enzo the groundskeeper. Sweeney and Morrone were having a moment as Millie and Enzo while filming. Amanda Seyfried won’t factor into
Taika Waititi’s new film, Klara and the Sun, hits theaters on October 23. The press tour has started and has already been hijacked by a REAL star: Jenna Ortega’s dog, Twigs. Ortega stars as the eponymous Klara, a robot friend in the future. The movie looks maybe good? Taika’s on a weird streak. His films aren’t as sharp as they were in the last decade, but yet he did incredible work in front of and behind the camera in Our Flag Means Death. It’ll be interesting to see what the combinat...
I know there’s an abundance of celebrity podcasts and a confounding number of interview setups where celebrities eat on camera, but add Jesse Tyler’s Dinner’s On Me (if you don’t already listen). First off, Jesse knows everyone so he has an interesting roster of guests and second, I kind of like how he pairs the vibe of the restaurant with the guest.

Here at LaineyGossip, it’s been Maria who has been predicting the rise of Skyler Gisondo, anticipating for over a year that Skyler, who’s been scene-stealing for years now, would break out in a big way very soon. As she put it, he is “Walton Goggins for people who grew up with home internet”. Skyler Gisondo is extremely popular and recognisable on the internet, he is constantly memed, in a way that’s been much more advantageous than Ben Affleck’s experiences with how social media has laugh
Once considered an underground pop artist mostly famous to queer audiences, Slayyyter has risen in the pop world going toe-to-toe with some of today’s biggest artists on both the top 40 radio and streaming charts. After her viral hit “DANCE…” blew up earlier this year along with the release of her new album WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA, she has been going at lightning speed. Now she’s gearing up for the release of Wor$t Man In America, an album that she’s calling an “inverse album” where every song is
Cailee Spaeny was seen in New York yesterday on the set of Deep Cuts, the film adaptation of Canadian author Holly Brickley’s bestselling book. It’s a good, quick read – about two people who are brought together and then torn apart by music. This is a classic soundtrack friend and love story, cinematic from the first page. Initially Saoirse Ronan and Austin Butler were supposed to star in the film, playing the lead characters, Percy and Joe. And Odessa A’zion was confirmed as Zoe Gutierrez
