Hello, friends. I hope you're well, and that this upcoming weekend is pleasant for you. It's been a very heavy week for Americans, following yet another school shooting, this time in Nashville, and I hope you are holding up okay. It has gotten to a point where I am sort of out of words. [I gave money to March For Our Lives this time.](https://marchforourlives.com/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) If you have other suggestions -- beyond, of course, voting for folks who are in favor of gun law reform and encouraging your elected representatives to be reasonable -- please share them in the comments. Or, if you are also out of words, that is okay.

To other items:

This [is an interesting piece on menopause and perimenopause over at Lainey](https://pubx.co/nlMhLh?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io); apparently Drew Barrymore had her first hot flash on air, and it's actually surprisingly sweet. Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler are so nice to her.

We recently had[ a great chat about the most memorable meal you've ever had](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/your-afternoon-chat-whats-the-most-memorable-meal-you-ever-ate-03-2023/). I also rounded up[ "normal" spring dresses -- which was tougher than you'd think.](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/fug-nation-loves-normal-spring-dresses-03-2023/)

FYI: [Banana Republic is currently having 40% off sale prices sale; if you were eyeballing any of their excellent sweaters, pop over there and see what you can do](https://rstyle.me/+-F8aR%5FPBP4BuOmuwBeKbLQ?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Sizes are limited but you never know! \[commissionable link\]

In an exclusive at Variety: [‘The Bachelor’ Creator Mike Fleiss Departed Franchise After Investigation Into Racial Discrimination.](https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/mike-fleiss-the-bachelor-exit-investigation-diversity-investigation-1235569534?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

So interesting, at Two Bossy Dames: ["A Very Bossy Tribute To Way Bandy: The most talented makeup artist in the world."](https://twobossydames.substack.com/p/a-very-bossy-tribute-to-way-bandy?)

Gisele Fetterman wrote an excellent essay for Elle: [The Tired Trope of the ‘Power Hungry’ Woman](https://www.elle.com/culture/career-politics/a43430966/gisele-senator-john-fetterman-essay/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

SUCH a good piece at We Have Notes. This took me BACK! [We Have to Go Back: NY Mag's Iconic Power Girls Cover.](https://wehavenotes.substack.com/p/ny-mag-power-girls-cover-story?)

This is...a real ride:[ BuzzFeed Is Quietly Publishing Whole AI-Generated Articles, Not Just Quizzes.](https://futurism.com/buzzfeed-publishing-articles-by-ai??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) EVERYTHING is a "hidden gem." \[Futurism\]

Logistically very juicy: [How Rich People Get Divorced in Secret.](https://www.thecut.com/2023/03/how-rich-people-get-divorced-in-secret.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[The Cut\]

Also at Lainey: "[Diane Keaton is shedding some light on why she doesn’t date, why she doesn’t *ever* see herself getting back into the dating scene and why she never married](https://pubx.co/ElsHG2?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)."

As a person who has what can best be termed Resting Murder Face, I chuckled at this: ["Ben Affleck says he has a ‘very unhappy-looking resting face.’"](https://socialitelife.com/ben-affleck-says-he-has-a-very-unhappy-looking-resting-face/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[Socialite Life\]

Speaking of faces: [Justine Bateman won’t get Botox: ‘I just don’t give a s–t. I think I look rad’.](https://www.celebitchy.com/810690/justine%5Fbateman%5Fwont%5Fget%5Fbotox%5Fi%5Fjust%5Fdont%5Fgive%5Fa%5Fs--t%5Fi%5Fthink%5Fi%5Flook%5Frad/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Good for her! I think she looks rad, too. (I on the other hand, DO get Botox and I love it; to each their own!) \[Celebitchy\]

Pajiba reports news I cannot believe: ['Riverdale' Is Back Goddamnit](https://www.pajiba.com/tv%5Freviews/riverdale-is-back-goddamnit.php?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Fun, at USA Today: [Sitting in the nosebleeds for the Final Four? Why fans say you should 'absolutely do it'](https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaab/2023/03/29/final-four-seats-nosebleeds-worth-it/11556531002/??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Related, at Esquire: "Eminent Domain (!), a coach in handcuffs (!!), a top-secret Army base (!!!), biological warfare testing (?!). [If you think you know the March Madness Cinderella archetype, think again. Florida Atlantic’s backstory is like nothing you’ve ever heard before](https://www.esquire.com/sports/a43472569/fau-florida-atlantic-university-final-four-story/??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)."

While we're on the subject of sports, Eater is asking the real question: [Will Baseball’s New ‘Pitch Clock’ Threaten Ballpark Beer Sales?](https://chicago.eater.com/23653488/major-league-baseball-rule-change-pitch-clock-ballpark-beer-sales-vendors-white-sox?%5Fgl=1%2A1qsifui%2A&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

GREAT question: [Why are movies so dark these days?](https://www.polygon.com/23661749/why-movies-look-dark-cinematography?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[Polygon\]

Finally, we had SO much fun over at Drinks With Broads This Week. Paid subscribers got[ our coverage of *Succession* and *Yellowjackets*](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/the-watercooler-discussing-this-weeks), as well as yesterday's edition containing[ HOT (UNSUBSTANTIATED) CELEB GOSSIP, me whining about a new *X-Files* reboot, and intel about a very luxe and fancy jewelry sale that took me down several Wiki deep dives and also onto a website about yachts](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/is-the-truth-out-there-again-seriously). Everybody got [Tuesday's missive explaining the Reese Witherspoon divorce (jewelry was maligned), Harry Styles and EmRata, and our query about what's going on with Zach Levi](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/breakups-and-hookups). It's a hoot!
