Happy weekend! Go have some fun!

In Thursday's Drinks With Broads newsletter, [I looked at the #1 bestseller for every week of the summer of the 1980s, and H tried to give A.I. our job, with mixed results](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/ai-cant-take-our-jobs-not-before). Plus: Tom Brady and Kim K?!?!?!?!!? In the free Tuesday newsletter, we brought you a [dozen intriguing facts about the Cannes film festival, and the ultimate Eurovision playlist, plus some thoughts on this T. Swift/Matty Healy thing](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/as-eurovision-fades-cannes-will-rise). You could be getting all this in your email [if you subscribe](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/)! It's fun!

GOOD FOR ARIANA. [She's composed and thoughtful in the freaking New York Times](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/18/style/ariana-madix-tom-sandoval-vanderpump-rules.html?unlocked%5Farticle%5Fcode=aj-g-iJtVsIYwd8KP3uTeGvkwdC5FFPzF1IAgHegXfXXh6ig6Y23Li-48ZCh90DwsFIvtfYaXv%5Fhtr6%5Fni5Vvjt0ApDZSe9jqUrx7-fEAGJ4IZUQGB35wl5APtQ75kX34fZcsI2VR-MF2ktDQ2oF5H3hA197rNn-brZfEagfx0RmN2AKJLO6lsyma7LP6INgfyXjet5yIIRJUgaRJPNRYpiXr-%5FHmzKaghf8lA4kfIpMdy1b3yKQN9AOxJ%5F3I7rdr0M72f0vNd7pe4TeiZELS-nlOPxPSHxtcVcPsLFyHnSTc%5FgT26MwUw-z%5FDCc%5FoCS-KnOxxFA9SA2rW56ysmcKtgBrXFhnIv1wKS%5FC-Ymq4pOXg&smid=url-share&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and Tom Sandoval is....WHO CARES? \[NYT, gifted link\]

[I *love* this piece at The Stripe](https://thestripe.com/summer-style-muse-marge-sherwood/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), because Gwyneth's character in *The Talented Mr. Ripley* is often my own summer style inspiration!

Speaking of summer, we rounded up[ Fun (and Maybe Unhinged) Items You Might Need -- like pool floaties and margarita machines!](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/fug-nation-loves-fun-and-maybe-unhinged-items-for-summer-05-2023/)

Super interesting, at Lainey: [Jennie & V: A Big (Silent) Deal.](https://pubx.co/lf8Z40?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) I learned about this development literally from this post on Lainey.

I suspect this is relevant to your interests: [Chloe Sevigny’s ‘Sale of the Century’ causes a frenzy](https://wapo.st/3IjpQv2?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). \[WaPo, gifted link\]

This somehow feels related, at Curbed: [Century 21 Is Back.](https://www.curbed.com/2023/05/century-21-flagship-store-reopening.html??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Also really interesting and thoughtful at Lainey -- and about much more than the headline indicates: [Gabrielle Union: Miss Hyper-Independent.](https://pubx.co/R1xhup?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Fascinating, at the LA Times: [Ex-NFL player thought ‘Shark Tank’ would launch his barbecue empire. It became a nightmare, he says.](https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2023-05-18/shark-tank-al-baker-daymond-john-mark-burnett-mark-cuban-abc?fbclid=IwAR0E4X2xhMjPQv4%5F3Ee6yFBuOL3FMoBPo-wKxpUb2dH-MIAZT1JJg905XJs&utm%5Fsource=pocket%5Fsaves)

This is wild to me: [Rachel Bilson Lost a Job for Talking Openly About Sex on a Podcast](https://www.pajiba.com/celebrities%5Fare%5Fbetter%5Fthan%5Fyou/rachel-bilson-lost-a-job-for-talking-openly-about-sex-on-a-podcast.php?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[Pajiba\]

Yikes: "[Chris Pratt ripped apart for shading his ex-wife Anna Faris with ‘ignorant’ post: ‘I’ve lost so much respect for you.’](https://pubx.co/2OEiGu?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)"I feel like Pratt is one of those celebs who just needs to hand over his social media to a professional. I don't think this is a huge nightmare error on his part, or anything, but it's kind of an own-goal. \[Socialite life\]

I've got notes on this season of *Barry* \-- namely that I am not really enjoying it and also it's really not a comedy anymore -- but this is IMPORTANT AND VITAL WORK:[ How ‘Barry’s NoHo Hank Became One of TV’s Greatest Fashion Icons.](https://decider.com/2023/05/15/barry-noho-hank-wardrobe-anthony-carrigan-fashion-icon-costume-designer-interview-season-4/??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[Decider\]

I KNOW you want to see[ RuPaul's house in Architectural Digest!](https://www.architecturaldigest.com/gallery/rupaul-beverly-hills-home??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

[GQ reports:](https://www.gq.com/story/vintage-fashion-books-are-booming??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) "Why Every Fashion Kid Is Suddenly Collecting Old Books: Following a few cool moodboards on IG isn’t enough anymore. To achieve true aesthetic clout, you need to own physical copies of vintage fashion tomes, lookbooks, and magazines—and a new generation of book dealers is here help." Ah, children. Welcome to being a hoarder! I say this as a person who just put 5 years worth of *Tatler* in storage. (I'm not throwing them out!)

Useful, at Vulture: [21 Movies We Can’t Wait to See This Summer](https://www.vulture.com/article/upcoming-new-movies-coming-out-soon.html??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

This is nuts.[ No one OWNS "Taco Tuesday." Taco Tuesday belongs to the people!](https://qz.com/taco-tuesday-trademark-taco-bell-campaign-1850444315?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[QZ\]

Finally, Heather and I are obviously not crime writers, but we were happy to donate a lot to [the Sisters in Crime auction benefiting The Innocence Project](https://www.32auctions.com/CrimeWritersForJustice??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). You can bid on a [set of autographed copies of all four of our novels here](https://www.32auctions.com/organizations/105782/auctions/138592/auction%5Fitems/4541512?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), or[ on all kinds of other interesting and cool items here!](https://www.32auctions.com/CrimeWritersForJustice?utm%5Fsource=pocket%5Fsaves)
