After breaking up with Ana de Armas, Ben Affleck barreled into the tabloid frenzy known as Bennifer 2.0, and we all saw how that turned out. Without missing a beat, Affleck is already knee-deep in his next disaster: A reported romance with RFK Jr.’s daughter, Kick Kennedy. — You can stop with the Jennifer Garner rumors. That poor woman does not deserve that smoke. — According to Page Six, Affleck and Kennedy have reportedly been hanging out over the summer while Jennifer Lopez has been taking his kids school shopping. Bro. More importantly, this news is barely 24 hours old, yet it wasted no time in unearthing an absolutely incredible new chapter in the “Never Leave RFK Alone With Dead Animals” saga. It makes the whole bear incident look like a walk in the park. Pun not intended, I swear to God.

Ladies and gentlemen, the whale juice story. Via Town & Country:

Kick’s taste for the extreme was fed by her dad’s eccentric environmentalism. Exhibit A: When she was six, word got out that a dead whale had washed up on Squaw Island in Hyannis Port. Bobby — who likes to study animal skulls and skeletons — ran down to the beach with a chainsaw, cut off the whale’s head, and then bungee-corded it to the roof of the family minivan for the five-hour haul back to Mount Kisco, New York. “Every time we accelerated on the highway, whale juice would pour into the windows of the car, and it was the rankest thing on the planet,” Kick recalls. “We all had plastic bags over our heads with mouth holes cut out, and people on the highway were giving us the finger, but that was just normal day-to-day stuff for us.”

Imogen, Obviously by Becky Albertalli isn’t the kind of book Bea Pants would choose (the cover is so pink!), but she’s glad her book club made her read it. “It takes a lot to thaw out my cold, misanthropic heart but Imogen, Obviously did it.” Which books are you glad someone made you read?
