It’s that special time of year when we must revisit Tom Cruise’s strangest (and most iconic) holiday tradition — the infamous ‘coconut cake list.’ We’re diving into how this sugary gift became an elite Hollywood status symbol, who’s made the cut this year, and who’s been heartbreakingly dropped… and is still absolutely devo about it.

Plus, a brand new rom-com is on the way, and the trailer alone has sent us into a full spiral. It stars two actors who were once pegged as the next big thing — and now might be hoping this film is their ticket to a much-needed career revival.

And Elizabeth Olsen has opened up about what it was really like growing up in the shadow of Mary-Kate and Ashley. From childhood fame chaos to carefully distancing herself from nepotism, her new interview paints a picture of one of Hollywood’s most fascinating families.
