What Else?

As mentioned earlier, Milan Fashion Week ends today and aside from D&G, Gucci was another show with a healthy celebrity presence. The Fug Girls note here that half of the front row looked like Coachella – this is true and hilarious but also, it was Alessandro Michele who brought the boho bougie to Gucci and it looks like his influence is still lingering. Especially with the presence of Dakota Johnson. She’ll always, to me, be associated with Alessandro. And I wonder how long before her contract with Gucci is done and she saunters over to Valentino.

Andy Serkis is now an A.I. cheerleader and he’s out here trying to reassure actors and other creatives that A.I. won’t be used by studios to wipe out human jobs. Andrew Sanford is generous here when he describes Andy as “naïve”. I don’t see naivete, but do see opportunism. (Pajiba)

I saw Janet Jackson trending on the weekend and instantly regretted turning on my phone after almost a full day off of it. As for why she was and is still trending – it’s another reminder that celebrities are just as susceptible to disinformation as we are… only in the case of celebrities, when they’re always bitching about how the tabloids and the blogs are lying about them, it’s not like they’re all that great about separating fact from fiction. As for Janet? Well, she’s wrong, obviously, and it’s also obviously super disappointing and worrying because she’s so famous and so insulated, and celebrities are almost always surrounded by “yes” people, or those who might take advantage. Also this story is just multiple levels of WTF because who was the random issuing an apology on her behalf and then completely shut down? How many other outlets did this person try it with. Did Buzzfeed get duped? (Celebitchy) 

Speaking of conspiracy theorists, The Ringer published a piece the other day on Aaron Rodgers and how to make sense of his football legacy and…well… all his other f-cksh-t. Aaron sat out most of last season because he was injured pretty much immediately with his new team. Now the Jets are 2-0 to start the season and as noted in the article, if he keeps winning, how will everyone engage with all the chaos and harm that keeps coming out of his mouth? (The Ringer)

Taylor Swift was not at the Kansas City game yesterday. She was seen this weekend though – out for dinner with Gigi Hadid. So Swifties are gonna Swiftie and analyse every piece of clothing and the accessories for hints about… something. Some of them now think her outfit was leading them towards a new album. JFC, can she rest!? (Teen Vogue)
