JLo is making her way through Italy and charming the locals. I hope she is eating, praying, loving her way around (eating pasta and getting her back blown out by a handsome stranger).

That’s my birthday wish for her.

Once in a while, I am humbled with a reminder that there is a whole world out there I know nothing about. Like this list of the highest-paid podcasters. I only recognize four names.

Ana Gasteyer, “I truly apologize as this is not my fault.” LOLLOLLOL. If you aren’t familiar with September L. Davis, think Jiminy Glick, but on Broadway.

You know the phrase “iPhone face” (a face that looks too modern for period pieces)? I feel like in theory Annabelle Wallis should have it but she doesn’t, she slips into other time periods pretty well. This Unabomber movie looks really interesting.

“Revenge of the Simps” is an all-timer headline and this investigative report, about a group of porn addicts who gather in a Reddit forum to form a plan to rescue a camgirl they believe is being abused, is absolutely fascinating. This will be optioned for a film, I’m sure of it. In my mind, I’ve already cast Timothée Chalamet.

Forget summer flings, it’s an Ariana Grande ex-maxxing summer.

I love the story of Ben Affleck and Jeopardy! champ Jamie Ding winning a million dollars for the Eastern Congo Initiative. If you had to go on a trivia show with a celebrity, who would you choose? Ben is a great choice, he’s quite intelligent. My pick would Lisa Kudrow (who worked as a medical researcher before Friends) or Ken Jeong (an actual doctor).
