Drew Barrymore is turning 50! And she sounds like she’s pretty ok with it. She’s this month’s AARP cover. Goddamn, I feel very old suddenly. - (AARP)

And here’s Colin Jost as a college student on The Weakest Link in 2002. God. Colin Jost was a college student in 2002. My bones are making actual creaking noises now. - (LateNighter)

While we’re in that old creaking bones area, hey, guess what? It’s a new month and a new year and I forgot to give you a perimenopause/menopause article! I probably forgot because of the perimenopause fog… - (The Guardian)

After she received a ton of backlash for performing at RFK, Jr’s inaugural event, Jewel has taken to Instagram to apologize (sort of), expressing regret for causing pain, especially to those in the LGTBQ community. She claims she played the inauguration to support mental health, but I have no idea how performing in front of a MAGA crowd supports anyone’s mental health. (Instagram)

Today I learned Playboy is back in print. (I’m going to be totally honest here and admit that I didn’t actually know Playboy stopped being in print, so…). I also learned that Gavin Rossdale has a cooking show on Vizio? I didn’t know Vizio had its own programming and I forgot Gavin Rossdale was a person who exists, so… Learning a lot today! - (Lainey Gossip)

One January Sixer doesn’t want Trump’s pardon. She’s out of the cult now and can see it for what it was. Good for her! - (Idaho Statesman)

What is going on with Billy Ray Cyrus? - (PEOPLE)

Listen. I know the NYPost is trash. I KNOW. But, listen. When Roxana posted this in our Pajiba Slack, I KNEW it needed to be shared beyond. This headline was too much to pass up. I couldn’t. IAMWEAK! “Man who only ate cheese, beef and sticks of butter for 8 months suffers shocking side effect” WHAT?! You don’t say! - (NYP)

I guess TikTok just gets credit for everything now? Okay, so I’ve been doing this for, like, I don’t know, 20 years, and I have friends who have been doing it at least that long, maybe longer, but now that TIKTOK is doing it, I guess it’s “A Thing.” whatevs (but it totally does work) - (PS)

This mom asked her daughter to lower her babysitting rate because she is 15 and “unskilled labor” and she’s setting her rate at higher than what nurses make. I don’t know what to think. If that’s the market rate then that’s the market rate. It seems ridiculously high, but I don’t have kids, so I don’t have any idea what the going rate is for babysitters these days. - (SM)

Marilyn Manson Won’t Be Charged After Long Investigation of Sexual Assault Allegations. And we wonder why women don’t come forward and report their abuse… - (THR)

Online reviews are getting to be nearly pointless. The fake reviews for everything from Amazon to nail salons to movies to local attorneys are so plentiful and so good that it’s nearly impossible to tell what’s genuine and what isn’t anymore. - (The Walrus)

Why Ikea Is the Perfect Location for a Second Date - (Food & Wine)

I know there are many of you who are like me: We care deeply about everyone affected by the fires in Southern California and we hope they’re in a safe place! That said, I know we also were terribly worried about the animals! And where could some people go if they had their beloved pets with them? Here’s at least one happy story about pets being very welcomed at some luxury hotels in the LA area. - (Robb Report)

I love this cartoon dog!
