Happy weekend, everyone! Hope you’ve been eating your Wheaties, both the SAGs AND the Independent Spirit Awards are this upcoming weekend. We’ll have full coverage here at the site starting Monday.
Are you feeling low-key bummed out? I rounded up a bunch of little things that you might want to treat yourself to.
At Drinks With Broads, we brought you so much! Here’s your recap of the latest episode of Feud, which is a fascinating mess! Heather watched and weighed in on J. Lo’s new (insane) movie, and we tackled the new adaptation of One Day, the newest Vanity Fair Hollywood Edition, and wacky failed pilots. As we’ve recently hit the one year anniversary of the newsletter, I want to give HUGE THANKS to everyone who has subscribed. The income from paid subscribers literally kept this website afloat this past year, as the ad sales market is currently dire. Also: it’s been SO FUN.
I’m excited about this new Zendaya movie. (I’m not talking about Dune.) [Lainey]

I’m gonna do this when I win the lotto: The Guy That Built His House in a Sports Stadium. (This guy did OWN the Astrodome.) It is HIDEOUS. [Messy Nessy Chic]
I laughed at this characterization of Taylor and Travis: “Season two of TNT has officially begun, on location. Not unusual for hit shows – bigger budget with a bigger audience.” [Lainey]
Interesting: How the loneliness crisis is fueling “stan culture” [Salon]
We were on Kate Casey’s podcast this week, talking about Real Housewives and The Traitors! It was a blast. Give it a whirl.
