Happy Friday! Hope you’re hanging in there. Stay cool out there!
Over at Drinks With Broads: We’re recapping The Bear! Everyone on that show needs therapy and/or a big hug. Here’s the latest recap. Tuesday’s (free!) issue explores the best travel tips from one of my fave old etiquette books (a lot of lightbulb stuff??) and the Derek Blasberg/Goop Poop situation. Yesterday’s issue dove into the Sha’Carri Richardson Vogue cover, Costner’s crash and burn, John Corbett’s existential crisis, and how VERY BAD OMG Madame Web was.

I can’t read these stories about Ellen without thinking about the iconic Real Housewives of Orange County episode where Tamra ran off crying from dinner, screeching that none of the other women will never see her again!!! (Spoiler: They did): Ellen DeGeneres Insists She Isn’t Mean, at Pajiba.
