If you don’t have anything nice to say, come sit by me—and Lindsey Weber and Bobby Finger, whose canonical podcast about Q-list celebrities, Who Weekly, has now inspired an impeccably titled book: I Want to Be Famous: When Everybody and Nobody Is a Celebrity. Today in VF, Lindsey and Bobby chart how celebrity gossip has evolved since the days of hard-charging muckrakers like Walter Winchell and Dorothy Kilgallen, the Broadway columnist Frank Sinatra angrily nicknamed the “chinless wonder.” It’s an excerpt that reads like a dishy conversation with a few well-informed friends, and what more do you need on a Monday evening than that?
Elsewhere, Katie Nicholl catches up with Princess Diana’s former bodyguard, and Rebecca Ford reminisces about Moonlight with Barry Jenkins, 10 years after the director’s dreamy Oscar winner premiered. More tomorrow!
