BFFs Gina Rodríguez: Globes Worst Dressed (Kathleen) This hurts. I don’t want to do this. Gina Rodríguez is slowly starting to suffer from the Jameela Jamil condition of being charming and wonderful on television and well-meaning but grating in person.

Golden Globes 2019 Richard Madden’s Fiji Water photobomb Richard Madden’s face is a distraction. I found his face distracting in Bodyguard.
