My name is Lainey and most of you have probably found your way here today from LaineyGossip.com, the celebrity gossip website I founded in 2003. Before the blog, though, LaineyGossip began as a newsletter. It was 2002, I’d just quit my job, and I started sending an email to my two officemates at that job as a way to stay in touch. The emails were a way for me to keep them up-to-date on what was going on in Hollywood, because for the years that we worked together, I was their gateway to gossip and I took that responsibility very seriously.
This is giving me Celine Dion - THANK YOU so much for all these FEELINGS! We were nervous today about this launch. Excited, of course, because we've been trying to find a way to do this for a long time, but nervous because it's new and sometimes change can be uncomfortable. Reading this feedback, I am so moved. Please know how much we have appreciated your support over the years. Please know that I know how fortunate I am to still be doing this. Can't wait to grow in this space with all of you. Yours in gossip, Lainey
Lainey & team, I’ve been along for the ride for quite a few years and I’ve learned, laughed, cried, and been entertained. The least I can do is give you $120 per year for the privilege of experiencing what you put out on the daily. Thank you!
Veronica thank you so much for the generous support and to everyone who has subscribed so far. And thank you for sticking with us over the years. The site has changed a lot over that time and we feel like a lot of folks like you who started in the early days have changed with us too and have been open to new perspectives.
Reading and growing with you all has given me a completely different outlook, and a how I view things.
I know I would not be the person I am today without this site and everyone who helps it. It has opened my eyes and allowed me to see different view points.
At first this site was a fun way for me to escape my life as a new mom, but now I come to hear different perspectives and views and it helps me see the world around me differently, and in turn how I teach my now teenagers (yes, long time reader here! Lol)
So thank you Lainey and team, my emotional intelligence has expanded and I’m turn, I’m raising a better generation for it!
I second this. I’ve been reading Lainey since the newsletter was forearded to my work email in the days before I had kids - and one is turning 19 in a few short days! I’ve cheered her on with every move she’s made into the entertainment space.
LaineyGossip has for sure helped shape how I interpret and consume media, has taught us all a lot about growth and accountability.
Brava, Team Lainey, on this next evolution! Looking so forward to the conversations :) <3
This is one of the things that has excited me the most about our launch and the comments that have flooded in. Quite a few folks have said something along these lines as well.
We lost some readers over the years who came for the nastiness in the early days and didn't stay to hear the stuff about themselves through the arc Lainey went along examining herself because it didn't align with their beliefs. Excited that you stayed and hoping we'll all get something more out of this new platform.
Oh man, this is going to be my whole life now! Love your blog and have been following for so many years but this is going to be next level! Thank you so much!
I feel like as someone who had your OG newsletter sent to me, then a reader of your blog from 2006 onwards... this is a mandatory subscription for me!!!
That's going back FAR! Thanks for sticking with us for this long! And we're hoping this is the right forum for these kinds of chats. We've wrestled with comments/no comments on LG for so long but always landed at no, and this feels like a good way to start.
So happy to be here!! I am forever grateful for this team - years ago the Marvel and Star Wars content helped me bond with my stepson and now that he’s a teenager we go deep on the inside baseball of celebrity, media, and gender. Thank you for how you’ve enlightened me on perspectives I wouldn’t otherwise have encountered, and for offering new avenues to connect with my amazing bonus kid!
I am so excited for this!! I've been reading since about 2006 and it was a no-brainer to find more ways to support you AND get to be around fellow gossips
Congratulations! I’ve been a reader for at least 15 years when my BFF said we need to skip the magazines and get our goss online and she sent me your site! As soon as I saw you comments on Gwyneth 🤦🏼♀️and those old school blinds I was hooked! 💕🥰
I have been following your site since around 2006, very much looking forward to this new experience and the opportunity to support you. I have gotten so much enjoyment out of your posts over the years and learned to see things in new ways!

I have never subscribed so fast. Can’t wait to live in these comments.
