What Else?
Karlie Kloss and Joshua Kushner got married and now I’m looking forward to how the #Kaylor shippers will rationalise this wedding. Maybe the wedding was a cover for the fact that Karlie and Taylor Swift recently brought home their adopted baby and they needed the media to be distracted. Full Story
Naomi Osaka’s Birthday Bae
Naomi Osaka turned 21 on Tuesday. What do you get a 21-year-old who beat the GOAT at the US Open? If you’re Ellen DeGeneres, you get her crush– MY Michael Bae Jordan—to send her a shirtless photo. I stan a generous King. The last time I wrote about Naomi and Michael B Jordan, he was surprising her with a personalized video message Full Story

Is it only Day 4 of this tour? It feels long for me, can you imagine how it feels for them? Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were back in Sydney today and started their Friday schedule with a visit to Bondi Beach where they kicked off their shoes and walked barefoot in the sand and sat in an energy circle with members from OneWave to talk about mental health.

Before we get to all of Bradley Cooper’s looking, he was seen a few times in New York yesterday. Here he is out for lunch and he was also photographed out for a walk with Irina Shayk and their daughter Lea. About a week ago, Page Six reported Full Story
Zayn’s fingers
Backgrid
That sounds dirtier than I intended. Zayn Malik has a new single called “Fingers” and it’s all angst-ridden and rife for interpretation. The song isn’t great but I wish it was because the lyrics are perfect for 2018. Full Story
It’s not all Gaga
A Star is Born is a big movie. It has emerged as the Oscar Best Picture frontrunner – for now. Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga will receive multiple nominations.

Melissa McCarthy is best known as a comedienne, but really she’s a good actress with a talent for playing cranks and borderline unpleasant, blunt characters.
