Have you read Gwyneth Paltrow’s essay in British Vogue about “conscious uncoupling” and her marriage to and divorce from Chris Martin? Parts of it are insightful but parts of it are, well, very GP. Like there’s an unmistakable taking of credit for popularising the term as an example of how people are so resistant to the sh-t that she promotes on goop before they become part of the general culture. Point of the story. GP did everything first, OK? (Dlisted)
According to someone who talks to Us Weekly, Prince Harry cooked Meghan Markle a three-course dinner for her birthday earlier this week but they didn’t reveal what exactly he cooked. Which would have been my follow-up question. Does three-course mean that he also made dessert? Dessert is f-cking hard. (Cele|bitchy)
This is exactly the mask I would have picked out for Catherine of House Cambridge. Floral print but not aggressively floral or bright. What other patterns do you think she’d be willing to wear? Gingham? Gingham would be safe for her but I think she’d worry that gingham is too much like napkins. (Go Fug Yourself)
Did you see that meme that Reese Witherspoon started? Very clever. Other celebrities have followed. And you know who I think won it? Kate Beckinsale, of course. Her September is genius. But I might be biased because September is my favourite month? Why? I’m glad you asked. I was born in September. I’m a birthday whore. September 26 is my birthday. Here where I live, we’re in Phase 3 and so far things are opening up although I personally haven’t opened up. I’m still getting groceries mostly delivered (except I go to the butcher once a week) and I haven’t yet been to a patio or to the nail bar or to the movies or any of the places we’re allowed to go. I don’t know when I’ll be ready. I feel like my birthday will be in my basement. (Pajiba)
What a year Paul Mescal is having. If you watched Normal People, I know you know what I’m talking about and I know you’re on this. He’s been nominated for an Emmy. And now he stars in a Rolling Stones video. (Vulture)
