Nelly and Ashanti were at the ceremony to honour Kevin Hart with the Mark Twain Prize for American Humour and you wouldn’t know it because this could have been 2004, they both haven’t changed all that much and now they’re back together and expecting a baby and I’m too happy for them to be cynical. Also they look so great in these matching fits. (GoFugYourself)
As you may know if you visit here regularly, I’m a regular Saturday Night Live watcher. And general consumer – the books, the oral histories, all of it is interesting to me, and the show, the institution, is still, after all these years, interesting to me. Which is why I’ll be watching the sh-t out of Jason Reitman’s new film about the first night of SNL. We’re still a while away from it opening in theatres, but we are getting more details about the story now. (Pajiba)
When I’m on a plane or a train and I’m looking for a seat, the person I want to sit next to is the one with a mask on. If they’re wearing a mask it tells me they are extra cautious about their health and the health of others around them – and why would I want to avoid that consideration...unlike this drunk dude from Yellowstone. But now that I’ve said this, I have to say that I do mask more than the average person so I wonder… does that make me someone others want to sit beside? Because I’m that hypocrite bitch who wants the free seat next to the masked person but doesn’t want anyone to take the free seat next to me, LOL. (Celebitchy)
Sean Diddy Combs is the biggest story this week and I don’t have anything to add to the reporting, but I did find Rolling Stone’s timeline that was posted yesterday super helpful. This has been going on for decades. (Rolling Stone)
Whenever we mention Nelson Peltz on this site, it’s never a good story which… I guess… makes sense because he’s a billionaire. There was that whole lawsuit over Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham’s wedding. There’s all the f-ckery with the Disney board and those shareholders pushing for cost saving measures, resulting in thousands of jobs lost. And now he’s giving interviews talking about Marvel movies and disparaging the decision to make them about women and Black people. Imagine the freedom and the audacity you have to have to be able to say that sh-t on the record and not be afraid because as a billionaire you’re basically untouchable. This is the man who is engaging in corporate warfare for control of Disney, the company that produces so many movies and television shows and so much of the content that shapes our cultural perspective.
