What Else What Else? I think I love this man and want to be his friend. First of all, he’s at a Janet Jackson concert which automatically, at least to me, means he understands #NeverForget.

Gossip Girl Kiki & Landry go to the ball It still f-cks me up that Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons, aka Landry Forever, are not only a thing but that they’re engaged.
