There’s a lot going on in the world right now, so take a break from the upsetting headlines and take a look at what else happened from April 22nd to April 29th:
1. Giuliana Is My Best Friend: Live- streaming apps Meerkat and Periscope are making it even easier to connect with your favorite celebrities, so I highly recommend downloading them so what happened to me can happen to you. Giuliana Rancic and Jason Kennedy were using Meerkat on the set of E News! and only 31 people were watching the stream (this is a new thing and not everyone is as hip as me, obvi) and when I commented that Giuliana should sing (she was asking what to do and I know she loves an excuse to belt it out), she read my name and comment out loud. THAT’S RIGHT, GIULIANA SAID MY NAME AND TRIED TWO DIFFERENT WAYS TO PRONOUNCE HEARON, SO BASICALLY WE’RE BFFS.
2. Bruce Jenner Interview: So while G’s live-stream was the best thing to happen to me this week, the most watched and reported on event was Bruce Jenner’s ABC interview. Kim K’s stepdad confirmed what the media has been reporting for weeks, and gave additional details on his current transition into a woman, and I think it’s great that he’s giving a voice to other transgender men and women. Most of the feedback Bruce is receiving is positive– there have been a countless tweets from family and friends, as well as male and female fans posting pictures of their nails with the caption “#PaintYourNailsForBruce.” Bruce’s new E! show will premiere at the end of July, and I’m definitely counting down the days (#87days).
3. Radio Disney Music Awards: While I unfortunately missed the Radio Disney Music Awards, I know a few things from the headlines: Ariana Grande won everything, Nick Jonas gave JLo a “hero” award (#lol) and the cast of Dancing with the Stars left the ballroom to attend (#HowIsChrisSoulesStillDancing?)
4. Daytime Emmys: E! News lost the Daytime Emmy and two soap operas TIED for best drama, so there’s nothing important to report.
5. Kim Richards is Drunk: You know your life is in trouble when you’ve been arrested and you’re on Dr. Phil every other day. The Beverly Hills housewife and alcoholic is reportedly in rehab, and has admitted her last three years of “sobriety” have been a sham. I wonder if they’re filming a spin-off in rehab with Scott Disick right now.
6. Tyga’s New Kylie Tattoo: The 25 year old rapper and father got a tattoo of the 17 year old reality star’s name. I’m sure the relationship will last almost as long as it took Tyga to decide where to get the tattoo on his body.
7. Ian and Nikki’s Wedding: Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed tied the knot over the weekend after dating for less than a year. His ex and costar Nina Dobrev was not in attendance, but his vampire brother Paul Wesley was. I’m sure the two will live happily ever after, and debate The Vampire Diaries vs Twilight until death do them part.
8. Stephen Hawking on Zayn from 1D: Yes, you read that right– Stephen Hawking the PHYSICIST was asked about Zayn Malik the EX-BOY BAND MEMBER, and his answer was perfect. “My advice to any heartbroken young girl is to pay close attention to the study of theoretical physics,” Hawking said. “Because one day there may well be proof of multiple universes. It would not be beyond the realms of possibility that somewhere outside of our own universe lies another different universe. And in that universe, Zayn is still in One Direction.” #CrushedIt
9. Fuller House Update: The Full House reboot has been more drama than any episode of the sitcom. First, Lifetime announced they are working on “The Unauthorized Full House Movie” a la “The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story.” While the SBTB movie was basically Oscar worthy, I don’t know if Full House has enough behind the scenes 90s drama for Lifetime (would the main storyline be which Olsen twin should play Michelle in this scene or should Uncle Jesse wear a leather vest, leather jacket or both in this scene?) Let’s be real, none of the good stuff happened until Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) started doing drugs and John Stamos accused MK and Ashley of lying about knowing about the reboot. First Uncle Jesse called BS, and now he’s tweeting about a good talk with MaryKate. Family, forever? #YouGotItDude
10. McDreamy McPetition: Remember my freakout about Derek dying on Grey’s? Turns out I’m not the only one. There is a petition to get Shonda Rhimes to bring back Patrick Dempsey’s character back from the dead, which makes zero sense, but hey, I can’t say I would be mad if it worked.
11. Hilary Duff on Tinder and #LizzieMcGuire: The recently divorced actress revealed she is currently on TINDER and went on her first date from the app the other night. I’m not judging you Hils, but I have a feeling you could meet guys another way. The date was a group bowling date, and Miranda and Matt from Lizzie McGuire were there! Do you think Gordo was the dude she met on Tinder, but he was too embarrassed to be in the reunion pic?
12. Zac Efron’s Questionable Outfits: Troy Bolton is filming a new movie, and I think it’s called “How To Make All Of The Teenage Girls In Love With Me Get Over Me.”
13. Nate and Chuck 4eva: The Gossip Girl guys reunited at a fundraiser last week, and looked just as hot and drunk as their characters always used to. #Spotted #XOXOGG
14. Talvin Confirmation: Calvin Harris basically confirmed his relationship with Taylor Swift over the weekend by posting a picture of her cats. I don’t know if anyone is calling them Talvin, but I am because #duh. I’m thinking these two will only last the first leg of T.Swift’s world tour, but either way, we should get some good music out of it.
15. Miley + Liam: There’s A LOT of rumors that these ex-lovebirds are texting and potentially getting back together. I don’t know if this is true, but I’m ALL for it. The Last Song 2, anyone?
16. Revenge is Cancelled: The ABC drama is officially being crossed off the schedule with a red sharpie. It makes sense because the ratings have been getting lower and lower, but it’s a shame because the show was finally getting good again. Here’s hoping we get one epic finale.
