Drama at the 'Today' Show as Kelly Rowland Walks Off Set Before Hosting Gig

Mention of The Good Wife this week made me think about Matt Czuchry (it really doesn’t take much to make me think about Matt Czuchry. It could be a random blond dude at the grocery store. Or just a Tuesday afternoon… Whatever, shut up. YOU’RE NOT MY SUPERVISOR.) and evidently, we (I) have a Gilmore Girls writer to thank for his career. (Also, not gonna’ even try to lie, I liked Logan. SUE ME.) - (PEOPLE)

Kelly Rowland appeared as a guest on the Today show on Thursday but was meant to return to co-host the 10:00 hour. However, after she complained that her dressing room was not up to snuff, and realized that they wouldn’t give her the green room because it was occupied by J.Lo, she walked off the set, leaving producers to scramble and find a replacement. Rita Ora, who was there as a guest, agreed last minute to do the gig. (Page Six)

Thom Browne’s Runway Show Was His Telling of The Raven. There are some lewks in here for sure, but really, there are a couple I kind of like. But mostly, I just want to tell Thom, Moira Rose did it better. - (GFY)

Tennessee House Republicans, why are you so blatantly racist? OMG! - (Pitchfork)

While we’re here, Republican Congressman and Doctor Feelgood to TFG is an absolute mess of a human, a doctor, and a military representative. There’s a lot to digest in this article. A lot. But I think one of the things that pissed me off the most was this: “The White House team also refused to order low-cost generic drugs because their patients preferred to use brand names such as Ambien — which was about 174 times more expensive than its generic equivalent. That decision squandered taxpayers’ dollars, the Pentagon concluded; the unit wasted about $100,000 just on buying Ambien, Provigil and sleeping drug Sonata between 2018 and 2019, rather than their cheaper generic equivalents.” - (WashPo - free article)

A couple of weeks ago, Selma Blair made some heinous now-deleted anti-Islam comments on an Instagram video and she’s been getting draaagggged over it. She apologized earlier this week and has seen the error of her ways, she says. - (Jezebel)

I knew I couldn’t be the only person who did this, so I looked it up, and not only am I not the only one, there’s an actual name for it: Screen Apnea! Do any of you do this, too? (This article is a couple of years old, but hey, if you haven’t read it, it’s new to you.) - (Get The Gloss)

I’m fascinated by people who can’t recognize just how strong their soap/detergent/perfume actually smells. My dad is one of these people and genuinely thinks I was being mean to him or flat-out lying when I told him I could literally taste his cologne it was so strong! He would tell me, “No one else has ever said it’s too strong.” Oh, ok, well then, in that case, it’s settled! - (Slate)

Also fascinating is just how much of Twitter’s/X’s traffic may have been fake during the Super Bowl. Spoiler: SO MUCH! - (Mashable)

The most fascinating? Oh, I don’t know, just Newsies dancing to Beyoncé’s new country jam “Texas Hold ‘Em.” - (TMS)

It’s only 6 episodes, but my butt will be planted on the couch on March 14th watching Peacock Netflix. - (Lainey Gossip)

Like her or not, Amy Schumer has been subject to some shitty personal comments about her looks/body/being over the years; she addresses the recent comments about her “puffier” face due to endometriosis that, unfortunately, I’m sure many women can relate to. - (Today)

Ovarian tissue freezing may help delay and even prevent menopause. Is that a good thing, though? - (Medical News Today)

This is pretty wild. “A woman rented designer clothing. Then she made $750K selling it, feds say.” - (WP - gifted article)

It’s a few days past Valentine’s Day, but I couldn’t resist these dogs and their heart marks.
