Can you believe that the “Ellen DeGeneres might not be very nice” story happened at the beginning of the pandemic? And now, four months later, it’s still a conversation…because of all the reports that the workplace culture at her show is toxic. So there’s a third party investigation underway. That said, as we’ve seen, there’s often a disconnect between “internet knowledge” and “non-internet knowledge”. I know you know about this Ellen drama because you’re reading this site and you spend time online. But what about the people who watch Ellen and who DON’T participate in online gossip. Do they have any idea that the sunniest, “kindest” talk show host on television may be fronting an ugly workplace? (Dlisted)
Princess Beatrice is on her honeymoon because people in Europe can travel. I wonder when it’ll be safe for everyone to travel again. We always go away in November and, right now, we’re not sure if that’s going to happen because we’re having a hard time with the airplane thing. Or, I should say, Jacek is having a hard time picturing himself on an airline. He keeps saying that if he ever gets on a plane again he’s going to insist that we wear those heavy duty construction masks. (Cele|bitchy)
How do you feel about a house dress? I have a couple but during lockdown, a house dress hasn’t been my go-to clothing item. There’s a very simple reason for this: I don’t want to have to shave that much, and when you wear a house dress, your bare legs rub against each other and in my case there are prickles. That said, I really like this tie-dye one. (Go Fug Yourself)
Oh look. For the second day in a row, Elon Musk is showing up in this space because he wants people to pay attention to him. If he could, would he switch places with a cast member on The Bachelor? And give up his billions? This man craves the airtime. Anyway, I’d never seen footage of Elon Musk dancing, and this article exposed that to me. My life has not improved. (Pajiba)
A lot of people are talking on Twitter about the Emmy nominations. But do you know who’s been dominating Twitter all day today? Like with hundreds of thousands of tweets across multiple hashtags? That’s right. It’s Jungkook. He released a cover of “10,000 Hours” and since JK uses social media so sparingly, the reaction was appropriately enormous. (Soompi)
