The Super Bowl is next weekend, but ads are already dropping online. Uber Eats got Jennifer Coolidge, so they win by default. (Popsugar)
People have Opinions on Nick Cannon announcing he and Brie Tiesi are expecting a new child just eight weeks after his five-month-old son, Zen, passed away from a brain tumor. Is there a RIGHT way to announce a new baby on the way after the death of a child? Seems like an emotionally loaded situation no matter how you cut it. People just generally need to have less opinions about other people’s kids. (DListed)
The Fug Girls look back at the relationship of Julia Roberts and Kiefer Sutherland. Shameless self-promotion, but I deep dived on this a while back. It was a WILD time, and I feel like these days, no one remembers that Julia was a runaway bride. What I really got hung up on, though, was the description of the bridesmaids dresses. Seafoam green! With dyed-to-match shoes! SO Nineties. (Go Fug Yourself)
James McAvoy married his long-time girlfriend, Lisa Liberati. James has a passionately devoted fanbase. Wonder how they’re taking the news? Perfectly reasonably, I’m sure. Fans are great about their faves settling down. (Celebitchy)
One of the weirdest true crime(ish) stories of 2021 was the tale of the “Spine Collector”, a thief targeting unpublished literary manuscripts that then never resurfaced anywhere. No ransoms, no black market sales, no pirate leaks online. Someone was just stealing manuscripts and…reading them? The original story is here. Now, there’s an update. The FBI arrested an Italian national named Filippo Bernardini. He appeared in court this week, and the judge seems as mystified as everyone else by this case. What is the motive? Just…superiority?
