The Fug Girls are right – this is indeed a very Rooney Mara outfit. And it’s great.

Speaking of Adele… remember when Seth Rogen was super front and centre during Adele One Night Only? This is how it happened – and of course he was high, but I don’t know why that needs to be said. Isn’t that like saying JLo is glowing? Always! (Pajiba) 

I’ve never wanted to play golf with Kenny G, and after reading this piece, I totally do now. (The Ringer)
