Travis Kelce and the First Lady of Tight Ends

This weekend in TNT wedding speculation reminded me of a Taylor Swift song lyric from a track off 1989, my favourite out of all her albums. It’s this line from “I Know Places”: “Baby I know places we won't be found and… They'll be chasing

Taika and Jenna Ortega team up in the sun

Yesterday, I asked if we’re concerned about Taika Waititi and Rita Ora not being seen together for over three months and the answer was a resounding “no”. So noted. But Taika is busy, with a new film, Klara and the Sun, adapted from Kazuo Ishiguro’s novel of the
