You know who has been on the product collaboration train for years? Sarah Jessica Parker. Wallpaper, shoes, furniture, perfume, wine, Uggs. Her recent work is with lab-grown diamonds.

She had a fashion line at one point called Bitten, it was not expensive. I wonder if she would ever consider going back to it because I think where a lot of the mid-aughts celebrity clothing lines went wrong was doing too much too fast – most of them were full seasons. She should do one grey cardigan, it would sell out.

Rita Ora singing at a car event, Emma Chamberlain’s collaboration with West Elm – these gigs are very 2010s coded. There’s a shift in the air, a feeling that brands are moving away from celebs getting paid $100k to throw up an Instagram post that gets lost in Meta’s sh-tty algorithm. Social media is now the equivalent of digital junk mail.

Yesterday I wrote about actors who look like they were born as adults (Fran Drescher, George Clooney, Catherine Zeta-Jones) but I forgot to mention the gold standard: John Slattery. Has John ever been a young boy? Doubtful.

I like how all the men in this photo are doing a kooky pose and Anya Taylor-Joy is like, no.

Jon Bernthal and Ebon Moss-Bachrach are starring in Dog Day Afternoon and the reviews are… not great. The Hollywood Reporter called it “disastrous” and the New York Times said, “The flamboyantly flustered Bernthal doesn’t evoke Pacino so much as “Welcome Back, Kotter”-era John Travolta.” There are reports that there were creative differences over tone during rehearsals.
