Celebrity Social Media, June 19, 2026
After a few very busy months, Anne Hathaway announced her pregnancy on Instagram. I’m not sure if she posted this before or after the pap pics came out but hopefully she had the heads up and could do it on her own time.
Olivia Rodrigo took in the No Doubt show at the Sphere; Gwen Stefani pulled her onstage and Olivia showed off her cute sign. You Seem Pretty Sad For a Girl So In Love is a hit (which isn’t a surprise) and with that, Olivia could also be influencing the drink of summer. It’s a simple throwback: the vodka cran. I hope this releases bartenders from the tyranny of espresso martinis, negronis, and Aperol spritzes.
Move over, Aperol spritzes and espresso martinis — there’s a new drink of the summer. The beverage of the effortlessly cool and, as Olivia Rodrigo sings, the open-hearted: the vodka-cran. https://t.co/RCC1ugPhV3

The UK media is breathlessly reporting on the Sussex family visiting the UK; the tabloids are having a field day and the more legitimate outlets seem to be hedging their bets a bit more with the language. The tabloids are still obsessed with her so of course they want her to visit, there are still daily Meghan headlines and half of them are about how “irrelevant” she is. So irrelevant you can’t stop talking about her! Page Six is calling As ever’s new brand collab “desperate”, which is also silly. Lifestyle companies collaborate with other brands big and small all the time, it’s completely normal and expected. Now is As ever moving jam at the pace it expected after the initial launch? Probably not. I do think a pivot is coming, fragrance or fashion. Consumables like jam are tricky, you don’t want that stock sitting around.
ALO has a superyacht for hosting influencers and some bigger names, like Kylie Jenner and Alix Earle. It’s obviously a great marketing gimmick but does this not seem like the least-fun trip ever? Maybe it’s because I look like a baby gazelle when I do Pilates but working out on a reformer machine in the blazing sun is not my idea of a good time. I don’t even like eating on patios.
This AI Val Kilmer is going to flop and everyone knows it, so I don’t understand treating it like a cultural watershed moment. Who is the audience for this? All due respect to Val Kimer but towards the end of his career, he was not an in-demand movie star who got projects greenlit. He had passed that phase of his career and that’s completely normal. So I don’t understand this need to build an artificial world around him when there are dozens of actors of his stature and age who could have done this role. It’s not like he was a Heath Ledger or Philip Seymour Hoffman, actors who died very suddenly and tragically (not to give AI people any ideas, that would be disgusting and there’s no way either of their estates would ever allow it). Zelda Williams (daughter of Robin) had to ask people to stop sending her AI-generated videos of her dad.
