What's Trending
The Jennifer Lawrence Instagram debut is the moment of the day, full stop. BuzzFeed's coverage is basically keyboard-smash energy, and honestly, fair — this is a celebrity who avoided public social media for years, teased a "secret life," and then pulled the curtain back with a first comment that immediately took off. Timing-wise, you love a mid-week internet event.
Dillon Danis, meanwhile, is fighting for his life against viral photos that purportedly show him snorting a white substance. His argument to TMZ: he didn't "magically lose all his tattoos overnight," so it can't be him. I'm not a detective, but tattoo forensics is a new genre of celebrity denial and I'm riveted.
And in "viral but slightly terrifying" news: former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon sat down with Anderson Cooper just one day after his AI warning went viral, and reassured everyone we don't have to worry about artificial intelligence wiping out humanity... "yet." The "yet" is doing a LOT of work there.
Music
The Harry Styles letter is giving full romantic-era fan-service: "I hope to see you there," he wrote, confirming Together, Together tour dates are on the way for 2027. No dates yet, just vibes and a two-year runway to emotionally and financially prepare.
Slipknot is back with "Arsenal," their first song since Sid Wilson's departure, plus a appropriately spooky video. Corey Taylor opens the track with "I got a lot to f*in' say" — so, business as usual, and we wouldn't want it any other way.
Over in AI-land, Variety reports Suno has rolled out its new label-backed model v6 after months of collecting music licensing deals "like Infinity Stones." The AI music arms race continues whether we like it or not.
And a sweet one: James Farnham shared rare photos of dad John Farnham for Australia's Father's Day, calling him "a glorious basket of positivity, fun and silliness." Country legend, certified great dad.
Movies & TV
Variety's review of Netflix's YA rowing drama Crew Girl is brutal in the most poetic way — the headline literally says it "capsizes and sinks." The series, created by Vivian Lin, follows 16-year-old single sculler Teagan Tao (Miku Martineau), and apparently the drama stays in the boat where you can see it. Ouch.
Better news across the pond: Four Weddings and a Funeral and Love Actually producer Duncan Kenworthy — Richard Curtis's longtime collaborator — is receiving the BAFTA Fellowship, the British Academy's highest honor. A career of making everyone cry at weddings and airports, honored.
Casting corner: Woody Norman, Malachi Kirby, Tuppence Middleton, Conrad Khan, and Kola Bokinni (hi, Ted Lasso family) are teaming up for the British urban horror thriller Skag & Bone. That's a genuinely stacked ensemble for a genre flick.
Celebrity Tea
The Henry Winkler–Tom Hanks situation: Winkler opened up on "In Depth With Graham Bensinger" about why his relationship with Hanks is so tense — and despite everything, he says repairing it isn't off the table. The Fonze extending an olive branch? I'm emotional.
Elon Musk is calling BS on baby mama Ashley St. Clair, telling TMZ she was never actually offered the $40 million NDA she claims she rejected. That is an objectively insane number to be arguing about publicly, and yet here we are, via a new TMZ YouTube collab.
Also from BuzzFeed: a roundup of celebrities who look drastically different these days — facelifts, dissolved fillers, and some VERY dramatic hair transformations. Harmless, addictive, exactly what a Wednesday needs.
TikTok & Internet
The viral K-beauty pore cleanser is back on everyone's FYP, with reviewers claiming they can literally see the gunk getting pulled out of their pores. Disgusting? Yes. Will I be purchasing? Also yes.
Quiz corner, because it's that kind of week: BuzzFeed wants Millennials to ID classic '90s movies from a single frame (harder than it looks), Gen Z to do the same with '00s films ("the Golden Age of Cinema. FIGHT ME."), and everyone to pick six favorite singers to reveal their "Off Campus" boyfriend. There's also a pop culture crossword if you're feeling superior. And if your FYP is more add-to-cart than trivia, there are new Walmart, Abercrombie, and Amazon fashion roundups tempting you to buy the same comfy lounge set in four colors.
Sadly, some real news in the influencer world: international bodybuilder Einar Méndez died at 48 after what his wife described as a "sudden heart attack," sharing the news in a heartbreaking post. Sending love to his family and his 47,000 followers who followed his journey. 💔
That's the day! J-Law broke Instagram, Harry gave us homework for 2027, and Dillon Danis's tattoos are his alibi. See you tomorrow.
