Doesn't "2024" feel like a fake year? I know it is real but it just sounds like a year in a movie to me. Is this an existential crisis?!

In case you missed it, the [Oscar noms are out and we had a robust convo about them](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/the-oscar-nominations-are-here-and-theres-a-lot-to-talk-about-01-2024/). I also rounded up[ a bunch of cool Lunar New Year things!](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/fug-nation-loves-cool-lunar-new-year-stuff-01-2024/)

At Drinks With Broads: [This week's *Traitors* was GREAT](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/parvatis-kill-brings-beautiful-chaos); [Sotheby's and CFDA auctioned off some very interesting stuff and Heather reviews *The Brothers Sun*](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/the-latest-in-auctions-michelle-yeoh); and [we talked about our most parasocially beloved celeb couples and the new J. Lo movie](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/who-is-your-most-beloved-parasocial). Next week kicks off recaps of the new season of *Feud*, and I'm currently writing an explainer of all the swans that should come your way on Tuesday. It's gonna be DISHY.

Lainey brings us the new trailer for [the Jake Gyllenhaal reboot of *Roadhouse*, a truly wild sentence to type.](https://www.laineygossip.com/trailer-for-remake-of-road-house-starring-jake-gyllenhaal-has-dropped-i-hate-it/77563?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

This was a fun -- and surprisingly mostly wholesome! -- thread at Reddit, [where everyone shares what went wrong on their wedding day.](https://www.reddit.com/r/wedding/comments/19d3txa/what%5Fwent%5Fwrong%5Fat%5Fyour%5Fwedding/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

This one is also fun: [What was your wildest impulse buy at Costco?](https://www.reddit.com/r/Costco/comments/19f3fr8/your%5Fwildest%5Fimpulse%5Fbuys/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) I LOL'ed at the top (at the moment) response: "My husband came home with the orange, blowup, personal watercraft that has oars. Its meant for fishing or hunting. He doesn't fish or hunt and has no way to transport a personal watercraft. He assembled the entire thing and it has sat in our garage untouched for over 6 months. We park our car outside of the garage now because of this impulse buy. It was \~$500 with tax."

This is [one of the most UNHINGED Captain Awkward letters I have ever seen.](https://captainawkward.com/2024/01/22/1418-need-to-convince-my-ex-husband-to-have-my-babies/??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) The Captain's response is perfect.

T&C asks, [Do Celebrities Have Private Lives Anymore?](https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/money-and-power/a46277760/celebrity-secrets-private-lives-pr-management/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) This piece is so juicy and good!

I love that Lainey is[ asking the right questions about Taylor Swift's schedule right now: About packing](https://www.laineygossip.com/taylor-swift-follows-mid-week-schedule-with-another-girls-night-in-new-york/77549?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

A great interview at Vanity Fair: [Simone Biles Talks Marriage, WAG Life With Taylor Swift, and the Paris Olympics](https://www.vanityfair.com/style/simone-biles-cover-interview??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Pajiba reports [John Oliver Is 'Surprised' that Jon Stewart Is Returning to 'The Daily Show'](https://www.pajiba.com/tv%5Freviews/john-oliver-is-surprised-that-jon-stewart-is-returning-to-the-daily-show.php?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). (But not mad about it!)

I clicked on this so fast:[ What the Ultrarich Wear to the Grocery Store.](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/20/style/class-of-palm-beach-tiktok-instagram-wealth.html?unlocked%5Farticle%5Fcode=1.QU0.7ZhP.fh5mOneKPU3L&smid=url-share&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[NYT, gifted link\]

Also at the NYT: [The F.D.A. Warned an Asthma Drug Could Induce Despair. Many Were Never Told. ](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/09/health/fda-singulair-asthma-drug-warning.html?unlocked%5Farticle%5Fcode=1.QU0.A%5FQ9.jVLkkfoBARFu&smid=url-share&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)I am (intermittently) on this drug! I definitely knew it could cause aggression, because I remember reading that one of the side effects is "irrational rage" and I joked to Heather, "how am I supposed to know it's *irrational*?" (It feels apt to note that this was in 2016.) FWIW, it DOES make me cranky and I call it my "rage drug," so I only take it when my asthma is very bad. (I do not need it daily.) If your kids are on Singular, please be aware -- these effects are stronger in kids.

Love a heist! [Chauffeurs accused of stealing $34M from Oregon publishing magnate in ‘colossal heist’](https://www.oregonlive.com/crime/2024/01/new-republic-tin-house-publishing-magnate-fleeced-by-chauffeurs-for-34-million-feds-allege.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). \[The Oregonian\]

This is very pertinent to my interests: [*Law and Order: SVU* Celebrity Guest Stars, Ranked.](https://www.vulture.com/article/law-and-order-svu-best-celebrity-guest-stars.html??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[Vulture\]

Architectural Digest takes us [Inside the Most Expensive Hotel Room in the World](https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/inside-the-most-expensive-hotel-room-in-the-world?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Finally, we had some fun chats here this week, including one [where we all talked about what we're currently shopping for ](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/your-afternoon-chat-what-are-you-currently-shopping-for-01-2024/)and[ our favorite cozy recipes.](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/your-afternoon-chat-whats-your-favorite-cozy-recipe-01-2024/)
