Happy birthday to my college roommate, Jen! And happy Friday to everyone else. This week feels as if it's been a very chaotic one for the world; I hope the following bring you some relaxing entertainment.

At Drinks With Broads, we had a VERY FUN discussion this week about[ Your Definitive Version of various stories and/or roles, and also talked about how apparently the Rock sometimes shows up EIGHT HOURS late to work](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/cracks-in-the-rocks-facade-plus-who). We also p[repped for the Met Gala, and talked about how Lauren Sanchez is being styled by Anna Wintour, among other things](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/the-met-gala-cometh). The Met is this Monday -- if you want to join our very fun chat, [that's a perk for paid newsletters subscribers and we'd love to have you!](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/subscribe) (You might also want to get on board for when *Bridgerton* recaps start in a couple of weeks!)

Very interesting, at Lainey: "[An interesting thought experiment to imagine how any rom-com plays out if you swap the characters around.](https://www.laineygossip.com/the-idea-of-you-starring-anne-hathaway-nicholas-galitzine-sexy-sweet-heartbreaking-hopeful-romance/78135?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) *Notting Hill*, but Will is the movie star badgering normal-gal Anna for a second chance; *While You Were Sleeping* but Jack is the stranger who swiftly ingratiates himself into a traumatized family (the first act of a crime drama!); *Pretty Woman* but Edward is a hustler—actually that’s just *American Gigolo*."

Absolutely fascinating: [The children who remember their past lives.](https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2024/05/02/children-past-lives/?pwapi%5Ftoken=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJyZWFzb24iOiJnaWZ0IiwibmJmIjoxNzE0NjIyNDAwLCJpc3MiOiJzdWJzY3JpcHRpb25zIiwiZXhwIjoxNzE2MDA0Nzk5LCJpYXQiOjE3MTQ2MjI0MDAsImp0aSI6Ijc2MzQ1ODY5LWNjODktNDE2OS04NmFlLTJlZjE4N2I5YjUxYyIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lndhc2hpbmd0b25wb3N0LmNvbS9saWZlc3R5bGUvMjAyNC8wNS8wMi9jaGlsZHJlbi1wYXN0LWxpdmVzLyJ9.IlWlZjx4XBNhYpDRaVy9n57wFJjektWOd3tQUU0T9qI&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[WaPo, gifted link\]

This is interesting[ inside-baseball look at press junkets from Lainey, over at her Substack, The Squawk.](https://thesquawk.substack.com/p/tashi-duncan-aint-shit-and-the-anniessance)

And at Vulture: [The Actual Tennis in *Challengers* Is Kind of a Serve.](https://www.vulture.com/article/the-actual-tennis-in-challengers-is-kind-of-a-serve.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

I agree: [Ravioli’s Day of Reckoning Has Arrived.](https://www.jezebel.com/raviolis-day-of-reckoning-has-arrived??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[Jezebel\]

Speaking of *Challengers*, if you're in the market for cute new tennis gear, you should know there's[ a very cute Prince collab at Target](https://rstyle.me/+QSP%5FYTOu0GBSY7TRXkBrug?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), AND [Tuckernuck's tennis/golf stuff is really cute right now](https://tnuck.com/pages/sport?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). I love[ this skirt](https://rstyle.me/+RozzVh9eWbmsQJFZhsjHJQ?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). I also [rounded up a bunch of shorts for the summer here.](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/fug-nation-loves-shorts-2-05-2024/)

Wild. At SFGate: [The California man who hid for 6 months in a secret room inside Circuit City.](https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/california-man-hid-months-secret-room-circuit-city-19422415.php??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

At the NYT:[ A Peek Inside the Brains of ‘Super-Agers’](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/29/well/mind/super-agers-study.html?unlocked%5Farticle%5Fcode=1.pE0.aMk3.28EEnMuCd%5FpZ&smid=url-share&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[gifted link\]

This was a good idea for a piece, at Slate: [America Has Revealed Which New Taylor Swift Songs Are the Skips](https://slate.com/culture/2024/04/taylor-swift-tortured-poets-department-billboard-hot-100-songs.html??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)
