First,
Olivia Rodrigo asks everyone she dates a very simple question . . . and a guy’s answer determines whether he’s got a shot . . . or if he gets kicked to the curb.
She asks them if they’d want to go to outer space.
So what do you think the red flag is . . . a YES or a NO?
Turns out it’s YES.
She says, quote, “If they say yes, I don’t date them. I just think if you want to go to space, you’re a little too full of yourself.”
Olivia is 21, and currently dating British actor Louis Partridge, who we can safely say has no interest in being an astronaut.
Second,
Coming into 2024, no one would’ve guessed THIS would become the sensation of the year.
The Collins Dictionary has just announced that “brat” is its Word of the Year. They define “brat” as “characterized by a confident, independent, and hedonistic attitude.”
This was inspired by the Charli XCX album “Brat”, which came out in June. It led to the “brat summer” phenomenon, along with several “brat” memes.
Charli describes brat like this: “You’re just like that girl who’s a little messy and likes to party and maybe says some dumb things sometimes.
“She like feels herself, but then also maybe has a breakdown but kind of like parties through it . . . is very honest . . . is very blunt, and a little bit volatile.”
Third,
Ryan Reynolds better watch his back, because someone just drew a bead on him . . . and this someone has done HARD TIME.
During an interview last week, Martha Stewart had this to say about Ryan . . . quote, “You want to know something? He’s not so funny in real life. No, he’s not so funny.”
Ryan knew better than to step up to Martha, though.
Responding to a Tweet about Martha’s comments, he said, quote, “I’d disagree with her. But I tried that once. The woman is unexpectedly spry. She really closed the gap after a mile or so.”
But Hugh Jackman didn’t mind getting involved. He replied, quote, “Finally someone says it.”
