Well, that was a weird week for Americans -- that day off right in the middle had me confused about what day it actually was for the rest of said week. Like, I'm being as productive today as I would be on a Tuesday. It's weird and unsettling. Ease yourself into the weekend with:

\-- Thinking about what you are going to wear to **our East Coast book signings**! They're so soon, and are as follows: We are at **Books and Greetings in Northvale, NJ on Tuesday, July 17th** at 6pm; at **WORD in Brooklyn on Wednesday, July 18th,** at 7pm ([you can RSVP here, but you don't HAVE to](https://www.facebook.com/events/361675057232131/) but it might make YOUR life more convenient); and at **Brookline Booksmith in Boston on Friday, July 20 at 7pm**. COME ON OUT and talk about SPOILED, MESSY, this here website that you're reading, the new *Dallas*, my shoes, Katie and Tom's divorce, etc. Books will be read, books will be signed, questions will be asked and answered, and a good time will be had by all.

\-- [Clooney DOES look like a good host.](https://laineygossip.com/Articles/Details/23998/George-Clooney-Stacy-Keibler-spend-Fourth-of-July-in-Como?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) What kind of intern never invites his bosses to his Italian lake house? A BAD ONE. Maybe he's mad because I keep saying, out loud, that I can't believe he and Stacy Keibler are still together. (Lainey)

\-- This is so awesome. The Awl recently did a piece called...[All the Presidents' Menus. YES](https://www.theawl.com/2012/06/all-the-presidents-menus?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Apparently John Tyler loved him some pigeons, and Nixon was always on some crazy 60s diet. Really interesting. (The Awl)

\-- You might need to know[ how each of the 50 states got its name ](https://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/132523?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)\-- what if you end up on *Jeopardy*? (Mental Floss)

\-- Let's look at this [awesome photography featuring TURBANS](https://www.laimyours.com/21451/turbans/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). (Los Angeles, I'm Yours)

\-- [Flavorwire discusses the bands that make you undateable](https://www.flavorwire.com/305537/these-are-the-bands-that-make-you-totally-undateable?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). You know, if you're a megafan. Not like if you accidentally hear a Nickleback song in the dry cleaners it marks you for life or something. That being said, I totally like some of these artists. THIS EXPLAINS EVERYTHING. (Flavorwire)

\-- Allegedly, [Channing Tatum hates Alex Pettyfer](https://www.celebitchy.com/237757/channing%5Ftatum%5Falex%5Fpettyfer%5Fwere%5Fbitchfighting%5Fon%5Fthe%5Fmagic%5Fmike%5Fset/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). TEAM CHANNING. (Celebitchy)

\-- Speaking of Chan-Chan, [Vulture helpfully breaks down the nudity in *Magic Mike* in charts.](https://www.vulture.com/2012/06/magic-mikes-nudity-in-graphs-and-charts.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (Vulture)

\-- This story about how[ a young journalist and an Olympic swimmer chanced each other's lives](https://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/01/sports/olympics/swimmer-and-young-writer-inspired-each-other-in-1976.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) might make you cry a little. (New York Times)

\-- Brilliant: [quotes from Joey Potter that could currently also apply to Katie Holmes](https://www.refinery29.com/joey-potter-advice?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (Refinery29)

\-- We talked to Stuff in support of MESSY; [read our interview](https://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/fashion/7233186/An-interview-with-the-Fug-Girls?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)! (Stuff)

\-- Speaking of, What YA Reading called MESSY "[the quintessential beach read: light, fun, and knock-your-socks-off hilarious](https://www.whatyareading.com/?p=756&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)." Thank you!! (What YA Reading)
