Happy weekend, everyone! The Golden Globes were this past Tuesday, and [if you missed the red carpet, you can catch up here.](https://www.gofugyourself.com/tag/2023-golden-globes?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

This piece has made the rounds a lot this week, and correctly so. If you haven't read it, it's excellent: [Gwen Stefani: "I Said, 'My God, I'm Japanese.'"](https://www.allure.com/story/gwen-stefani-japanese-harajuku-lovers-interview??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[Allure\]

Sad news, via Vogue: [Tatjana Patitz, One of the Original Supermodels, Has Died. ](https://www.vogue.com/article/obituary-tatjana-patitz?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

[Lisa Marie Presley also died this week](https://people.com/music/lisa-marie-presley-dead-at-54/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), which is also very sad and surprising. (I feel so much for Priscilla Presley; she has really gone through a lot in her life.) \[People\]

I've like....literally never seen [Ben Affleck as happy as he is in this first photo at Lainey, working the Dunkin' drive-through](https://pubx.co/XMesPH?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). You know how they say that influencers are the most successful when they take on spon-con that really meshes with their personal brand? This is literally the best example of this that I can think of. We know Ben is devoted to Dunkin!

Important intel: [Globes Pianist Says She Would Never Play Music Over Winners’ Speeches and Cleared the Air With Michelle Yeoh](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/music-news/globes-pianist-chloe-flower-music-winner-speeches-michelle-yeoh-1235296871/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). This poor woman! \[THR\]

Eater thinks that[ all things gelatin are ready for a comeback.](https://www.eater.com/23547001/ken-albala-the-great-gelatin-revival-book-q-and-a-jelly-cake-aspic-trend-jell-o?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) I will say that I was looking through an old cookbook the other day and I *did* say the words, "this Jell-o salad sounds great." So!

Oh nooooo[ do I need this sweater???????](https://rstyle.me/+O2WgmKor7SlPbUwW6gO9iQ?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) It's embroidered! \[Boden, affiliate link\]

Also, this is a crazy question maybe but Fug Nation will know. I just got a CostCo membership. (YES I LIVE ALONE.) [Do I need a Food Saver](https://rstyle.me/+YhyjfhOF8tPMlCN3-SsBVA?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)??????? I currently have a box of 50 egg rolls in my freezer. \[affiliate link to Food Saver; Food Savers for all???\]

I saw some of this float past on Twitter last week and only finally sat down to find out what's actually happening. I LOVE hearing about Big Budget Movie Drama:[ Francis Ford Coppola is in trouble (again)](https://pubx.co/pwSkcL?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). \[Lainey\]

[Margaret Cho sat down for an interview with The Socialite Life](https://pubx.co/YtOiT0?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) and it's really wide-ranging and good. I love this quote: "I guess to sort of step into…sort of being old. Like, I think I’m old now. I don’t know. Like that thing where you cross the line where I think I’m old? Like before you would be on a show like *Hotel* or like you would be sort of like the grand dame, like *Murder She Wrote*, kind of feeling, that vibe. I wonder what that’s like. Maybe I am now sort of like a grand old dame, like a lady. " The idea that you used to know you were old because someone cast you on *Hotel* is....perfect.

I'm ENRAGED by this piece's take on the Coffee Bean's Ice Blended: [Starbucks, Dunkin’ and more: Who has the best frozen coffee drink?](https://www.latimes.com/food/story/2023-01-05/starbucks-frappuccino-ice-blended-coffee-bean-showdown?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) The VANILLA is clearly the best Ice Blended, HELLO!!!! \[LA Times\]

This is a fun power ranking, also at the LAT: [Awards show power rankings, from worst to first](https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/awards/story/2023-01-09/ranking-awards-shows-oscars-golden-globes??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). I think they kinda chickened out by giving so many ties toward the top, though. That's a cop out!!

Fascinating, at Smithsonian: [The Misunderstood Roman Empress Who Willed Her Way to the Top.](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/misunderstood-roman-empress-willed-way-to-top-180981294/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Proud to have been quoted in this piece at WaPo: [The return of the going-out top.](https://wapo.st/3vZgVZ2?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (That's a gifted link so you should be able to read it no matter your WaPo subscription status.)

This seems like a bad idea all around, possibly? What do I know: [Kanye West reportedly got married to Yeezy-employee Bianca Censori](https://www.celebitchy.com/800229/kanye%5Fwest%5Freportedly%5Fgot%5Fmarried%5Fto%5Fyeezy-employee%5Fbianca%5Fcensori/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[Celebitchy\]

This story is A RIDE and a very good piece: [My Week With a No-Needles Lip Filler.](https://nymag.com/strategist/article/ourself-lip-filler-review.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[The Strategist\]

Finally, if you watch *Ted Lasso*, this is truly the greatest:
