Golden Globes, Frozen Todgers and Demon Robot Dogs

Orly Minazad
Orly Minazad is a freelance writer and regrets it every day of her life. She moved to the States from Iran in 1991 with her family seeking better opportunities only to waste them earning a Masters in Professional Writing degree from USC which no longer exists, cost a lot of money, and for which she has nothing to show. No, she is not bitter at all. Why do you ask? Oh, you didn’t, ok. She lives with her husband and son in Los Angeles where she spends the day loading and unloading the dishwasher.

I’m sorry to kick this off on a sad note, but Britney Spears is not going to make an appearance in Beyonce’s music video. (Page Six)

I’m all for making people talk less, so respect to Michelle Yeoh for telling the Hollywood Foreign Press Association to STFU so she can bask in the glory of her win.

Alpha Males is new series on Netflix and–fun fact–it is not as bad as it sounds. (Pajiba)

This AI predicts what celebrities will look like when they’re old so we can plan our crushes ahead of time. (My Modern Met)

M&Ms will go to any length to troll Tucker Carlson. At least it’s for a good cause. (Boing Boing)

I know I will not be able to get back up once I get in this grass lounge, but totally worth it.

It looks like WWE was sold to Saudi Arabia to “transform and modernize the country’s economy.” (Bleeding Cool)

In other news, Saudi Arabia, which has a strict “put a ring on it” policy before allowing people to live together, is making an exception for Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez. (talkSport)

TMI, Prince Harry, but do go on.

You had me at “18 Microwave Snacks You Can Cook in a Mug.” (BuzzFeed)

I did not have Bad Bunny as executive producer on the series adaptation of YA novel They Both Die at the End on my 2023 bingo card, but I’m happy for him and us. (Deadline)

I can’t wait to use my son as an excuse to go to this Super Mario Brothers-themed restaurant at Universal Studios Hollywood. (Eater)

Finally a big win for Elon Musk, who set the Guinness World Record for largest loss of wealth ever. (USA Today)

Yes, this is disturbing. No, I didn’t lose my appetite.

I’m not a gamer but I can be if it means I can have some of these weird Nintendo Switch accessories like the Fidget Pop Bubble Case. (Kotaku)

This list of 62 observations about Netflix’s Kaleidoscope is worth more of your time than actually watching it. Trust. (The Antagonist)
