I am and will forever be obsessed by the time Adrien Brody bought a castle for Elsa Pataky, then they did a 35-page spread exclusive for Hello! about it, then she dumped him for Chris Hemsworth.

In 2002, Julia Roberts wanted to get married. The problem? Her boyfriend's wife wouldn't sign the divorce papers. So she took matters into her own hands with one iconic but fugly t-shirt. I wrote about A Lot Vera on my newsletter! gossipreadingclub.substack.com/p/do-you-remem…

New on my newsletter. Celebrity Rehab sold itself as an insight into the cold hard reality of addiction, but it was really a vile excuse to gawk at vulnerable people in need. It's truly one of the most evil reality TV series ever made. gossipreadingclub.substack.com/p/do-you-remem…

We gotta make working with David O. Russell the same kind of taboo/mark of shame as working with Woody Allen, both for his abusive on-set behavior, and for—by his own admission—sexually assaulting his teenage niece: vulture.com/2022/10/david-…

“That another year may bring with it nothing but the same old misery is a mundane yet terrifying prospect for many,” Kayleigh Donaldson writes of ‘Happy New Year, Colin Burstead.’ “It’s something that Ben Wheatley captures with caustic accuracy." crookedmarquee.com/new-years-eve-…

When I was a teenager, I got super into Whose Line. I was in the LiveJournal fandom. I made a bunch of lifelong friends there. A few of us got to see Slattery perform with the ensemble at the Edinburgh Fringe a few years ago. It was a lovely full circle moment. He rocked. RIP.

Isabella Rossellini was the highest paid supermodel in the world. Lancome sacked her for being too old. She was 42. So she got her revenge. I wrote about it for my newsletter! gossipreadingclub.substack.com/p/do-you-remem…

Amanda Palmer made her name as a proud shit-stirring provocateur "feminist" who blurred the lines between fan and friend. Now, she's seen as a potential collaborator to her ex-husband's crimes. What do we do with her now? I wrote about it for pajiba. pajiba.com/celebrities_ar…

“‘Henry & June’ shares a lot of ‘Unbearable Lightness’'s DNA,” Kayleigh Donaldson writes of Philip Kaufman’s one-two erotic thriller punch, “as a story concerned with how watching, being watched, and turning those experiences into art irrevocably shapes us.” crookedmarquee.com/crooked-marque…

“Cronenberg’s quieter, somber, and less set-piece driven films tend to be pegged by critics as lesser efforts,” writes Kayleigh Donaldson. “But these displays of Cronenberg’s oft-overlooked directorial versatility are still rooted in his distinct fascinations.” crookedmarquee.com/david-cronenbe…

Remember when accused sex offender Russell Brand asked Katy Perry for a divorce via text message? Right before she was set to perform in front of 25k fans? And a documentary crew captured the whole thing? I wrote about it. pajiba.com/celebrities_ar…

“Why is it the Black man always dies in the first 10 pages?” @ceilidhann shines a light on the true beating heart of the MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE movies--Ethan's ride-or-die hacker confidante, Luther Stickell--and how Rhames brought him to stoic life. rogerebert.com/features/how-v…
