Yesterday was the spiritual end of summer. We have a few weeks yet, but it feels over doesn’t it? It’s coat season, which perfectly coincides with the first few episodes of Only Murders in the Building. Mabel has an outstanding coat closet and in real life, so does Selena.
She went with camel for her Telluride appearance, great choice.
But I’m not ready for a coat! Summer isn’t over! I’m sorry, it’s out of our hands.
goodbye forever brat summer.

Leah Remini has been bubbling up in headlines in relation to the Bennifer split and I recently observed that she hadn’t posted about her husband in a while. Well, they split and she dropped a classic long-weekend announcement— very under the radar.
As for Leah and Jennifer, it is unclear if they’ve reconnected. When Leah was a no-show at the wedding, the assumption was that she didn’t approve and maybe that is true, but it could also just be a case of two long-time friends who were out of sync for a moment. Jennifer was madly in love—again—and getting married while Leah’s marriage was ending. Maybe that was a strain. Friendships are long, often longer than romantic relationships!, so what is a year of disconnect? Nothing they can’t come back from. And I hope they do.

One Tree Hill is being rebooted at Netflix with Sophia Bush and Hilarie Burton leading the way. This makes a lot of sense as the cast and fans are still quite attached. Some of the “rewatch” podcasts led by actors are like a focus group to gauge interest; if the ratings are high and the social media engagement is there, they can take that data to a streamer. Streamers love that multi-level marketing.
Yolanda Hadid set Twitter aflame with her newest Architectural Digest house tour, a vacation home in Texas (I think she lives in Pennsylvania). In some ways, this tour is very typical of AD‑ there’s lots of talk about wood; rich people love to talk about where their wood came from. And the chaps in the house, which the Texans are having a field day with in the comments. For those of us who witnessed Yolanda’s Malibu “walk in glass fridge” era, we fully embrace her smug ridiculousness. When she pointed up at the towering honey bar, it felt right. She would never show off a jewellery collection, that would be tacky. But honey hits just the right “I’m better than you sweaty slobs” note.
Jennifer Meyer announced her engagement to Geoff Ogunlesi. Speaking of rich, her dad was a studio head – fine, great. Very well-connected, very wealthy. His dad is part of a venture capital group that owns an airport. Not an airplane, not a hangar, not a fleet of jets but a full international airport. Gatwick to be exact. This wedding is going to be a triple A list event.
