There's a celeb hotness battle happening on Twitter

TUESDAY, MAY 16 2023

Howdy, folks!

Today I'm deep in this Twitter discourse about the celebs we considered "thick" in the 2000s who were actually just plain thin! It's crazy to see Gen Z doubt us, because thankfully the body diversity landscape has changed so much. Even the queen Lizzo chimed in with her thoughts. Dive in with me on this topic and everything else going on online! ✨

Tiebreaker Needed

This is what Twitter was *made* for: an impromptu viral poll ranking celebrity hotness. When @offbeatorbit asked their followers to vote for either young Al Pacino or young Robert De Niro (the key being them in their ~golden~ years), it went viral. People shared their very strong opinions, either for Team De Niro or Team Pacino. But then the unthinkable happened: the poll closed with a tie. Maybe it's like this person said: why pit two hotties against each other?

This House Is A Circus

I have an obsession with watching tours of people's crazy houses, whether they're mega-rich and have home theaters and water parks or they just have impeccable style and have decorated it to a tee. So I lost it at this TikTokker's childhood home, which features an *elaborate* circus-themed room that her mom hand painted. It literally looks so real, I — and the 26 million other watchers — couldn't believe it.

A Mother's Day Dilemma

Another day, another Chris Pratt drama. As arguably the most-hated Chris in Hollywood, people were quick to jump on his Mother's Day post on Instagram for one glaring reason: forgetting to mention his ex (and mother of his son) Anna Faris. His post featured loving words for his new wife and his own mother, but people were *livid* he failed to even mention Anna, especially since they share custody. Awkward!

Almond Mom Wedding

Heads up: this story talks about eating disorders — proceed with caution! The internet is obsessed with breaking down the psychology of "almond moms," which are the universal experience of having a mom who carefully watches everything she eats and doesn't let you forget it. Now, a wedding on TikTok has gone viral for encapsulating this "almond" mentality, with the bride only drinking green smoothies and raw veggies and offering "anti-bloat" pills at every table. The backlash even made its way to Twitter, so safe to say the almond mom reign might be coming to an end.

Watch: Keith Urban jamming out at a T-Swift concert (and accidentally revealing Phoebe Bridgers and Bo Burnham making out).

LOL: At this reaction to the mermen in The Little Mermaid.

Nap: As hard as this adorable bear.

Bake: Not tres...not quatro...not cinco...a SEIS leches cake.
