This is a social media feud I like because it involves The West Wing. Did you know Bradley Whitford has been dogging Rob Lowe on Twitter for about three years? What would President Josiah Bartlet say?

 

Isla Fisher got a new dog called Maisy. That’s a wonderful name for a dog (and a human). Isla is married to Sacha Baron Cohen who has been on Facebook’s jock for a while, particularly talking about the way Silicon Valley’s algorithms allow hate speech and disinformation campaigns to flourish. You can read Cohen’s remarks to the ADL here. Right now, Facebook is getting some pushback from major advertisers, which seems altruistic but it’s also economically advantageous as many of those same companies are trimming their advertising budgets because of the pandemic. Cutting off Facebook allows them to look like allies and it helps them wrangle their budgets. Is Zuckerberg worried about the downturn? Probably not about his dollars, but certainly about his public image. 

Speaking of public image, Jeff Bezos’s girlfriend’s brother is still suing The National Enquirer for libel (they said he was the source for the Jeff/Lauren affair story, he says he only confirmed it but didn’t bring them the story). Um, let it go. This is costing them more in legal fees than the settlement will be worth. And if Lauren’s brother really wants to shake a money tree, he should look closer to home. 

 

The new 73 Questions for Vogue features Alicia Keys. Now obviously she has an incredible singing voice, but her speaking voice is very soothing and buttery. 

How did we go from minimal information about Brian Austin Green to a steady trickle of stories about Brian Austin Green? I don’t know if we need to know who he had lunch with, do we?

Lenny Kravitz is 56 and ready to release his memoir. How juicy do you think this will be? Here’s the thing, I think Lenny has lived a very glamorous life, but I don’t know if he’s the kiss-and-tell type. Like I don’t think he will sell out Nicole Kidman even though they were engaged. Remember?! 

 

I honestly love digging into the crevices of social media to bring you guys the most nonsense possible, but for this clip, I need your help. Who is she? If you can, listen to this with the volume on because the music is essential. The punching dance moves. The friends who are completely oblivious to her tears. What is she crying about? I need to know every detail. Did she catch her summer fling making out with someone else in the bathroom? Rejected from grad school? Did she fail a final? Her story is our story.
