Celebrity Social Media, August 22, 2024

You know who’s shaken about the end of Bennifer 2.0? T.J. Holmes. I didn’t know him and he and Amy Robach don’t live together but he woke up and texted her about it first thing in the morning, which is a sign of top-level gossip behavior. 

Now these two love love. 

As Lainey has mentioned, the Oscars are looking for a host. This is a very tough gig as taking chances don’t often pay off (see: Anne Hathaway and James Franco). Every year, it feels like a large portion of the audience watches the Oscars just to complain about how long and boring the ceremony is. You will never appease those people unless you get like the Hawk Tuah girl to host. 

But I do have a suggestion: Conan O’Brien. He’s obviously experienced at hosting, self-effacing, well-liked by audiences and other celebrities, game for a bit of nonsense – I think I’m onto something here. 

Kiernan Shipka was spotted out with Johnny Lowe (Rob Lowe’s son). No clue if they are dating but I also don’t think she’s dating John Mayer. I really think they are friends, because there’s a very specific LA/New York social circle they all hang in that includes Andy Cohen, a New Yorker writer, a producer, and two podcasters. Don’t ask me how I know this, long story.

I read about a woman who got scammed by a Jonathan Bailey impersonator and lost the bulk of her savings. Obviously scammers suck and she’s the victim of a crime but I wonder if at any point in their chats she looked at his Instagram? That perhaps would have been a sign that “Jonathan Bailey” was not as into her as it seemed.
