But also a look ahead to 2020 – and her first ever British Vogue cover, the February 2020 issue:

If you’re wondering who Ellen DeGeneres wants to kiss at midnight tonight…

I’ll see you at midnight tomorrow night, @HowardStern. pic.twitter.com/Tt8ZH9qFAf— Ellen DeGeneres (@TheEllenShow) December 30, 2019

It’s NYE. What are you doing tonight? Do you have an outfit for it? When I was young(er), the NYE outfit used to be a priority. And back then the priority was not going to be ruined by a big winter coat. I once went out on NYE in a white vest dress. It barely covered my ass. It was snowing. It was icy.

I can’t remember the last NYE though where I wasn’t in pyjamas. Which is pretty much how Mindy Kaling is spending hers.

Drake will not be pyjamas tonight. Or, rather, he’ll be in the kind of pyjamas they wear in Vegas. No, actually, he’ll just be wearing money – because this night is going to be a f-cking HUGE paycheque for him.

Ava DuVernay reflects on the decade that was. Her first paid directing job was a documentary about women in hip-hop. And then it was ESSENCE. And then, and then, and then. This thread is about possibility. And MORE. More Ava. We all need more Ava.

Reflecting on the decade.

In 2010, I got a call from @BET. They heard I’d made an indie documentary about LA hip hop the year before. They offered me a doc on women in hip hop. It was my first paying directing job. I remember crying with joy. And hope.pic.twitter.com/XiE55dBpWl— Ava DuVernay (@ava) December 30, 2019

And finally, because I’m subbing in here for Maria and Maria’s first gossip obsession is always the Beckhams, they made it 20 years and this one without any divorce speculation. The Beckhams are OK! And bonus – a mini Spice Girls reunion!
