Happy Friday, friends! I hope your weekend is going to be fun and exciting. ICYMI, we had [a very fun Get a Rec/Give a Rec chat this week](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/your-afternoon-chat-get-a-recommendation-give-a-recommendation-08-2022/)! I'm also[ taking requests for shopping posts here](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/fug-nation-loved-these-ten-things-the-most-in-2022-so-far-08-2022/).

I am *distraught* about this; everyone in Los Angeles has truly lost a beloved member of our family: [Vin Scully’s voice, a serenade of rebirth, will live on forever in Los Angeles](https://www.latimes.com/sports/dodgers/story/2022-08-02/plaschke-vin-scully-voice-serenade-of-rebirth-live-on-forever-los-angeles??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[LA Times\]

Great reporting from Marie Claire, and this piece is chilling: "Slick Instagram ads promised the perfect figure at a great price. But for these women, [their Brazilian Butt Lift dreams turned into a life-threatening nightmare](https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/goals-plastic-surgery-deaths-investigation/??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)."

[Jake Gyllenhaal is remaking Road House?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!](https://pubx.co/HRucSe?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) I DON'T THINK SO. \[Lainey\]

I did laugh out loud at this headline: [Tom Cruise helicoptered to the top of a cliff, greeted hikers & paraglided to the bottom](https://www.celebitchy.com/778022/tom%5Fcruise%5Fhelicoptered%5Fto%5Fthe%5Ftop%5Fof%5Fa%5Fcliff%5Fgreeted%5Fhikers%5Fparaglided%5Fto%5Fthe%5Fbottom/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[Celebitchy\]
