Jonathan Bailey is sending Paul Mescal a message, letting him know that he will not have dominion over short shorts. JB is challenging Paul’s claim to them, and doing what Paul has yet to do so far. Because even though Paul has taken his short shorts out for a spin while running errands or going to festivals, Jonathan brought out the short shorts and his ripped thighs for a photo call. 

 

It’s serious!

THIS IS THE WICKED vs GLADIATOR BATTLE WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR!

Your move, Paul!

And while you’re at it, Paul, can you match this level of slay?!

 

Staying with Wicked – I had no idea what Ariana Grande’s full name was until now. So the Wicked press tour, while exhausting, is at least teaching me some things. 

As mentioned yesterday, I’m covering for Maria this week but she couldn’t stay away and sent me a note about Gwyneth Paltrow to include in her column. 

“Considering her feud with Graydon, interesting choice!”

Graydon Carter, former editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair, founded Air Mail a few years ago. And now the magazine is featuring Gwyneth. I flipped through this carousel and blah blah blah it’s a series of boring Gwyneth recommendations. Until I got to the fifth slide. MOUTH TAPE?! 

 

Jacek is probably going to jump in here because I fall asleep anywhere, in any moving vehicle, and my mouth often falls open. Is the mouth tape to keep your mouth shut when you’re sleeping? Can we add this to the list of ridiculous and stupid sh-t she does in her quest for immortality? 

 

Today at The Squawk, I posted my annual Sexiest Man Alive prediction piece. PEOPLE Magazine will announce this year’s Sexiest Man Alive next week and, as I do every year, I consider the candidates and their odds and end on who I think it will be based on the criteria – and one of the considerations is name recognition. Gong Yoo has name recognition for those of us who watch Korea dramas but the average MiniVan Majority PEOPLE reader wouldn’t know. Which is too bad because this man is SO fine. 

Same, Cardi, same. 

 

While Cardi is stressing, if Rihanna is anxious, she’s managing it in a different way. Rihanna made it clear yesterday who she would vote for if she could vote – in the most RiRi way possible, haha. 

 

But then, when the trolls came for her she jumped into the comments and started clapping back. This is a throwback, because it’s been years since she did it – but when she used to do it, it was always comedy. That side of her came out to play politics. “I came here to work and pay taxes! You’re welcome”, a legend. 

Jungkook has been in military service for like eleven months now and is still out here setting records. 

That, really, was just an excuse to tee up another distraction though, because a lot of us need one today. Here’s a video that I come back to over and over again and I swear, it’s not just because he’s shirtless and SO fit. It’s also because he’s such a great looking dancer.
