Unrelated: I got VERY sucked into the classic Grey's Anatomy episode that ABC aired last week -- it was the one with the bomb in the guy -- and man alive, Patrick Dempsey is a top-tier gazer. His gazing is so good! ## Matthew Morrison and Marissa Jarrett Winokur ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/05/shutterstock_editorial_390360ad-1621366508.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Matt Baron/BEI/Shutterstock (390360ad) Matthew Morrison and Marissa Jarrett Winokur 'SWEET HOME ALABAMA' FILM PREMIERE, NEW YORK, AMERICA - 23 SEP 2002 Remember they dated?

Manhattan, New York Photo® Matt Baron/BEImages Striped blazer night at the Malle/Bergen homestead! Let me be clear and note that dig both these blazers, Candice looks perfect, and I think I owned the full-length version of Chloe's, purchased in a final-sale frenzy at Kitson even though it was two sizes too big for me and I never wore it and I ended up selling it! A JOURNEY! ## Kristyn Osborn, Kassidy Osborn and Kelsi Osborn of SHeDAISY ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/05/shutterstock_editorial_390360z-1621366644.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Matt Baron/BEI/Shutterstock (390360z) Kristyn Osborn, Kassidy Osborn and Kelsi Osborn of SHeDAISY 'SWEET HOME ALABAMA' FILM PREMIERE, NEW YORK, AMERICA - 23 SEP 2002 Kristyn Osborn, Kassidy Osborn and Kelsi Osborn of SHeDAISY arriving to the premiere of Touchstone Pictures' "Sweet Home Alabama" at the Clearview Chelsea West Cinemas in New York City on September 23, 2002\.
