When I say the internet is not real life when it comes to Chris Pratt, this is what I mean.

The comment section doesn’t like him but audiences do.

Sports gossip is so bitchy, I love it. There’s an uptick in Rory McIlroy stories thanks to a new unauthorized biography coming out. The drop is timed to coincide with the Masters (Rory is defending champion, you can see his menu for the dinner below –great choices). But “professional athlete cheated” is not news at 11. Even if everything in that book is true… Rory plays the same sport as Tiger Woods. This scandal is pretty tame. I’ve talked to Lainey and friends (sports fans and not) about Tiger’s current troubles. Tiger may be a meme but he’s not a joke. And he’s not disliked. The cheating and the DUIs, his MAGA connections (he is dating Trump’s former daughter-in-law), two mugshots, and you will be hard-pressed to find anyone who wants Tiger to be banished. The golf world certainly doesn’t want that – they talk about him constantly. They would love nothing more for him to come back. If he did, I have no doubt the ratings would be astronomical. Of course people love their sports idols, but none of them are infallible (look at the way Wayne Gretzky is perceived in Canada right now). There is something about the way Tiger transcends sport that is untouchable. I’m making my own point here: I started this post talking about Rory and ended it with Tiger, who won’t even be at the Masters! He is all over my feed and I’m not complaining.

Blake Lively spent the weekend posting about updates to her case against Justin Baldoni and Wayfarer and it makes sense that she took it to social media, because that’s where the fight has been happening. That’s where the damage has been done. (Here’s a legal analysis of the details.) She has been quite consistent in her words and behaviour leading up to the trial and one thing I’ve noticed is that besides Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman and Amber Tamblyn, celebrities don’t engage with her posts. I wonder if this is strategy and she has asked her friends and supporters not to weigh in because it’s so toxic online and she doesn’t want to open them up to being brigaded. Or not?

Here’s Rita Wilson in a barrel leg jean – are these on the way out? A denim buyer told me skinnies are back but it will take about two years to sink in. I’ll believe it when I see a Hadid or Hailey Bieber in a pair.
