Which means I still care who Taylor Kitsch is or is not By Kathleen • Mar 21, 2018 12:56 pm
Music Intro for January 26, 2018 Dear Gossips, I saved two articles to read at bedtime last night. It’s one of my favourite things to do every day – decide which pieces to bank, to look forward to, a small reward after a day of work. Sometimes they’re dense, serious essays.

Taylor Kitsch Riggins forever There are certain celebrities who I will always refer to by the names of the characters they played on TV. The entire cast of Friday Night Lights falls into this category. Tim Riggins will forever be Tim Riggins – even when he doesn’t look that much like Tim Riggins anymore.
