Happy weekend and reminder: The Met Gala is MONDAY! Just as we did for the Oscars, [we'll be having a live thread over at Drinks With Broads to discuss the red carpet as it happens](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/). The ability to comment is one of the perks of being a paid subscriber, so if you've been thinking about subscribing or upgrading your subscription, this is a good time! (All subscribers, of course, can *read* the comments, though.) It should be fun.

Speaking of Drinks With Broads, this week all subscribers got [our primer on the Sofia Richie wedding *and* the Shannen Doherty divorce](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/in-which-more-rich-people-get-married), and [paid subscribers got a long one encompassing](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/in-which-jessica-is-influenced-and): rich people fighting over a villa, more Rupert Murdoch romantic shenanigans, Heather's take on *Mrs Davis* (which seems insane???) and I discuss having been Influenced to buy a kind of kooky wardrobe addition that I ended up....liking??? It's a good time.

ALSO here at GFY, in case you missed these chats, they were fun: one about [the menu item you ](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/your-afternoon-chat-whats-the-one-thing-you-always-order-04-2023/)[*always*](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/your-afternoon-chat-whats-the-one-thing-you-always-order-04-2023/)[ order if you see it](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/your-afternoon-chat-whats-the-one-thing-you-always-order-04-2023/), and the other about [the One That Got Away ](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/your-afternoon-chat-whats-the-one-that-got-away-04-2023/)— not a romantic partner. The thing you should have bought and didn’t, and always regretted.

Now on to OTHER PLACES:

I'm obsessed with [this post about dips at Julia Turshen's newsletter, Keep Calm and Cook On](https://juliaturshen.substack.com/p/i-dip-you-dip-we-dip). It has charts!

Also at Lainey: [Jury Duty is 2023’s first must-watch show.](https://pubx.co/j5kPbh?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) People seem to love this show. Should I be watching? *\[YES JESSICA! James Marsden is a national treasure and must be protected at all costs. -H\]*

Socialite Life reports: "[Officially On-Again? Shawn Mendes Picks Up Flowers For Date Night With Former Ex Camila Cabello](https://pubx.co/eW3O0C?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)." I think this whole thing is a scam.

Good for her, I can't wait to see the pics!
