Hilary Duff Is Looking Like the Toxic Mom in Ashley Tisdale's Former Group

I’m tired of this, Grandpa. I’m struggling. I know many of you are, too. I’m including a couple of rando links in the roundup tonight. None of it is sponcon. It’s just stuff I’ve come across that made me smile or I thought might make you smile. Keep treading water. We need you. The world is better because you’re in it. Don’t let the brain weasels convince you otherwise! You matter.

The biggest celebrity “scandal” of the moment is who made Ashley Tisdale’s mom group so toxic that she had to leave, and folks, we have a very strong contender: Hilary Duff. Thanks to the stupidity of her husband, who couldn’t resist spouting off on social media, she now looks like the main culprit. Deleting the post ain’t gonna fix that one, champ. - (THR)

Heated Rivalry star Hudson Williams reveals closeted pro athletes have reached out to share their stories. - (PEOPLE)

Travis Kelce hasn’t made a decision, at least not publicly, about whether he’ll return for another year of pro football. If I had money for betting (and sadly, I do not have money for betting), I’d put it all on “You already know, babe.” - (Celebitchy)

I’ve never heard of ex-football player Matt Kalil or his former wife, influencer (I still can’t believe that’s a real job) Haley Kalil, but now I know too much about both of them, and since now I know, now you all have to know. THOSE ARE THE RULES. - (Lainey Gossip)

Spencer Pratt (Remember him? No. It’s ok. You don’t have to.) is running for L.A. Mayor. Good luck with that. - (EW)

My Cluck Hut sells eco-friendly soaps and stuff, and they really hate fascists! Their videos are a treat! - (Bluesky)

Despite the Zachary Levi of it all, Tangled is my all-time, hands-down favorite Disney movie, so I am trepidatious about the upcoming live-action adaptation. I’m not familiar with either of these two young actors, but I will say that they do look like Rapunzel and Flynn. - (THR)

I couldn’t pick a favorite. Those blues do look sumptuous. - (GFY)

I know it’s dumb, and my teeth also know it’s dumb, but I want this. - (AVC)

When the day is just not doing what I need it to do. When it’s hard. When I can’t get the slime off me and I need to sleep but my ADHD brain refuses to stop running on the hamster wheel, I like to listen to Pat & Sean mashups. - (YouTube)

Are you looking for a place to review the books you got as gifts or bought yourself because you saw them on a Best of the Year list? Cannonball Read would love to be that place for you. Registration is open. Join them, and stick it to cancer one book at a time. (Cannonball Read 18)

Our hearts are broken, and our rage is incandescent. She should not have an obituary today. - (Minnesota Star Tribune)

This is Chilli. He can go from zero to sixty in a matter of seconds. Uses this extraordinary ability to say good morning very promptly. 14/10 (IG: chilli.thegreyhound)
