Here we go again: some signs point to Jennifer Lawrence and her mother! director Darren Aronofsky getting back together (the couple broke up in October after dating for a year). E! News reports that on Wednesday Lawrence, Aronofsky and Pippi the small dog were photographed entering a New York City residence—an occurrence neither star has accounted for yet. But that’s what sources are for! E!’s source said on Thursday that the two, “are friends.

Over the weekend, Rose McGowan lashed out at Meryl Street on Twitter for what she perceived to be Streep’s hypocrisy regarding Harvey Weinstein, writing that, “Actresses, like Meryl Streep, who happily worked for The Pig Monster, are wearing black @goldenglobes in a silent protest. YOUR SILENCE is THE problem. You’ll accept a fake award breathlessly & affect no real chance. I despise your hypocrisy. Maybe you should all wear Marchesa.

Election results are in for ABC’s annual “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest” performance, and they’ve chosen... Mariah Carey! I! love! this! tradition! Mariah Carey, living, breathing woman with less luster and enthusiasm than a dysfunctional animatronic replica of herself. Whose song we’ve loved so dear that we’ve had it on repeat for twenty years and who didn’t bother to practice when we asked her to sing it.

Hello. It’s a few days before Christmas and somehow, everything... sucks. The Republicans just pushed through a tax bill that will benefit Scrooge McDuck and his cohorts while leaving millions of Americans in the dust. If you have to get on an airplane in the next few days, godspeed. It’s also the Winter Solstice—the shortest and darkest day of the year—and, according to astrologers, the worst day. Of the year.

D-O-G (pronounced dee-oh-jee) the Cat is helping a St. Louis dog training group get their canines in order by offering a little lesson on what it’s like to be around a feline. The Associated Press reports that Support Dogs, Inc. took in D-O-G over the summer and put him to work. Their dogs are trained to help humans who may already have a much less helpful animal in residence.

2017 was not a good year. In the last twelve months, the United States has been plagued by hurricanes, wildfire, gunfire, and a group of meglomaniacs hellbent on dismantling social safety nets so they can get tax breaks on their private jets. Billionaires destroyed media companies. Ice shelves cracked. Tom Petty died. The Great British Bake Off imploded.

Some have tried to mask, or at least deemphasize, the acute nastiness of these past 300-whatever days by declaring the color of the year is “ultra violet” (a good color), or that the word of the year is “feminism” (a fine word and even better practice). But, let’s be honest, if this year were a drink, it would be blue drink.

Every once in awhile, it’s nice to remember that love is real, and it is embodied by the relationship between Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor. In a new cover story with The Edit (in which she, unrelatedly, looks amazing), Sarah Paulson talks about her roles as they’re cast by Ryan Murphy, who she claims likes artists who are a bit “off-center.

In October of 2016, Jessica Leeds accused then-Presidential candidate Donald Trump of grabbing her breasts, attempting to put his hand up her skirt, and forcibly kissing her on the mouth when the two sat next to each other on a plane in the ’70s. She was one of a growing list of women to make similar claims against Trump, and over a year later, she’s not done talking.

It’s a real shame that Stassi Schroeder—lover of fried goat-cheese balls and one-time queen of Sexy Unique Restaurant in West Hollywood—is required to promote the latest season of Vanderpump Rules so soon after her podcast, Straight Up with Stassi, was rocked with controversy due to some very ill-advised and dismissive commentary on the #MeToo movement. A shame for HER that is. For us, it is—like most things VPR—pure schadenfreude.
