Dalton Gomez Looks Sad In Public
Ariana Grande’s future ex-husband Dalton Gomez was spotted looking glum on a night out on the town, as per this singular image from TMZ – but does he look glum or was he just not smiling for ten seconds? I can’t stand these things because everyone has the potential to look sad when they’re randomly caught off guard. Like, no one actually is sitting there smiling 24/7 when they’re out of the house. If there were a series of images of him crying into someone’s arms or something, then okay; but this just looks like he’s sitting there waiting for the bartender to finish his drink or something. Regardless, he’s ringless, which obviously just confirms that their marriage is over.
Also, so unrelated but quick sidebar about Ariana – does anyone else think it’s so strange how every so often she trots out Mac Miller’s memory for PR? I love a lot of her music, but she does have this way of manipulating public opinion (for example, how we don’t talk about her cultural appropriation era anymore lol). Like with this ten year anniversary of her album Yours Truly, she keeps talking about how their music video together is her favorite video she’s ever done because it was pure and loving etc. etc. It’s so uncomfortable to me and she always low-key neglects to mention that they had already broken up before he passed away. Also, this whole Mac Miller press circuit is coming right when she’s been getting hate for the whole drama of her getting with Ethan Slater. Convenient…but nvm…
Selena Gomez Shoots Down Rumors That New Song Is About The Weeknd
Selena Gomez has released a new track called “Single Soon”. It’s a fun ditty about how she’s getting ready to break off her relationship and go have herself a little hot girl summer. For reasons lost on me, some people think it’s about her ancient relationship with The Weeknd, which she summarily shot down in the screenshot above.
Selena Gomez has this quirk that, when there’s a rumor about her, she likes to fan the flames by making a big show of denying it (as opposed to just ignoring it and letting it die). I first picked up on this tactic of hers back when she and Haley Bieber were at war and all of her fans were constantly flaming Haley’s comment section. Once it had finally started to die down, Selena Gomez takes to Instagram and makes a big statement about how she does NOT stand for hatred and her fans need to STOP coming for Haley: “I’ve always advocated for kindness and really want for all this to stop.” Like wow, what a great way to keep this issue in the news cycle while perpetuating your perfect angel narrative. It would be soooo horrible if you guys just kept calling Hailey a dumb b!tch in her comments section, omg I would hate that so much. Genius!
Anyways, all this is to say that this song is probably not about The Weeknd at all. I’ve listened to it and it’s a fun but super generic track, so I’m not sure what specific lyrics in there would allude to a relationship with the rattail from The Idol The Weeknd in any capacity. However, her comment is definitely a way for her to drum up buzz for this new single.
Euphoria Season Three Delayed Until 2050
No, I’m just kidding — but, due to the ongoing writers’ strikes, the next season is delayed until at least 2025. Personally, this means nothing to me, especially after Sam Levinson (Euphoria show runner) already tried to ruin all of our lives with The Idol, AKA the worst show anyone on Earth has ever seen (it was so funny how it was “news” that The Idol was cancelled the other day. Like yes, we assumed lmao)
It’s kind of funny, however, because Euphoria isn’t exactly the type of show you’d think would be affected by the writers’ strike. Like, when I think of shows that would be hit the hardest in this situation, I’m thinking prestige television: White Lotus. The Crown. Maybe The Last of Us. Definitely not a show about 27 year olds pretending to be in high school, I’ll tell you that much.
If the show is that desperate for writers, I’ll happily lend my services. Behold, Season 3, Episode 1, Act 1:
[We open to Cassie and Maddie taking shots before third period.]
Maddie: Where the fuck is my fucking boyfriend?
Cassie: Um, just because you gave him a blow job during AP History, doesn’t make him your boyfriend.
Maddie: I hate you. Pass the meth, you whore.
[Cassie and Maddie start making out. Cassie cries]
You see? Not that hard. Until 2025!
The Problem(s) With And Just Like That
I’ve been trying to watch the second season of And Just Like That, and let me tell you, it is an exercise in endurance. I’m still quite behind (I’m right where Charlotte accidentally had a brownie and now wants to go back to work), but I feel like I’ve gained enough ground to share my perspective on where the show has gone wrong. The following is an exhaustive list of me complaining about issues both small and large. Hope yall enjoy, I nearly gave myself a hernia writing this out:
Behind the mere $5 paywall, see an exhaustive list of all my problems with this reboot from hell. We appreciate you! Xx
