Happy Friday, friends! I hope this weekend treats you right.
At Drinks With Broads this week, our recap of this most recent season of Emily in Paris has landed, asking such questions as: Why is Gabriel such a wet noodle? Is Luc actually TERRIBLE at his job? And is Camille the worst, or what? We felt bad for Kylie Jenner but not for Katy Perry, and saluted J.Crew’s old fall catalogs. And, of course, we discussed THE DIVORCE. Again, I just want to extend a huge thanks to everyone who has become a paid-tier subscriber to the newsletter. It is not hyperbole to say that without the Substack income, GFY would probably no longer be here. (Ad sales are bad, but photos are still expensive!) We appreciate you so much!
Don’t miss the return of our Get a Rec/Give a Rec afternoon chat!
This drama around the Megalopolis trailer is WILD. Maybe, you know, don’t farm EVERYTHING out to AI? [Lainey Gossip]
I also thought Lainey’s take on the Bennifer divorce was smart.
