Meghan Markle is currently at Wimbledon watching her friend Serena Williams play in the second round. At the time of this writing, they’re in the third set, Serena came back to win the second after dropping the first. More on this and Meghan tomorrow. For now, here are some photos.
My favourite part of this story is not that influencers were denied free ice cream but the line “Let’s make hard work ‘huge right now’”. Can that go viral? Also this whole thing is worrying me. Because as I’ve said before, my preferred ice cream is soft serve. I don’t like the f-cking artisan sh-t that you have to put your muscles into scooping because it’s “natural”, or whatever, and they make you eat it out of a mason jar. SOFT SERVE IS THE BEST. But are influencers going to ruin soft serve? Am I ruining soft serve? F-ck me. (Dlisted)
We are coming up on the 20th anniversary of the death of John F Kennedy Jr, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, and her sister Lauren. JFK Jr covers a special issue of PEOPLE ahead of the release of a new book about him. Among the revelations: he would have run for office had he lived. Can you imagine that alternate universe?

There is, indeed, a lot going on with Gigi Hadid’s outfit here and not even she can make it work. The sequin collar, the caped sleeves, whatever that is dipping down below the waist, the bustier on top of the shirt, all of it is too much. But I am most offended by those shoes. (Go Fug Yourself)
Now that Jeremy Renner has released his song and is trying to convince us that we should accept him as a singer, Kayleigh Donaldson has compiled a list of the best and worst actors trying to be singers. I mostly agree and I’m also not all that happy to be reminded that Bruce Willis tried. Also… Kayleigh is brilliant, but I have to disagree on Robert Downey Jr. She puts him in the “best” column. That is… not what I’m hearing. (Pajiba)
As far as marriage proposal videos go, this one is badly produced. Baseball player Michael Kopech asked Vanessa Morgan to marry him by a waterfall. Very romantically cheesy setting. Someone was shooting it on a smartphone. I don’t know if it was much of a surprise since you can clearly see Michael directing whoever’s holding the phone to start filming. I mean if you’re going to document it, make it better quality! (TMZ)
Remember last week when that “Be Beyoncé’s assistant” choose your own adventure thread went viral on Twitter? It was a genius idea. But it worked because Beyoncé is unknowable, “a mystery we can’t stop trying to solve”. (Buzzfeed)
