Because we hope you spent your weekend not caring about anything other than what time happy hour starts, we’re bringing you our Pop Culture Roundup: your one and only stop for the top five pop culture moments from this weekend that will get you through your mid-day Monday slump. It’s like cold brew for the soul, only cheaper.
Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny have called it quits. The couple initially sparked rumors of romance back in February, but were last seen together at a Saturday Night Live afterparty in October. Despite the unlikely pairing, when I heard they went HORSEBACK RIDING in early spring I was convinced it was true love. If you tell me it was during sunset I might melt into a puddle. Oh well! Onto the next, baby girl.
After a year of dating, Demi Lovato and musician Jutes are engaged! Jutes proposed on Saturday with a massive rock of an engagement ring. (I mean, I’d say yes too after taking a look at that thing.) The couple got together two years after she ended her previous engagement with actor Max Ehrich. Let’s just say the Camp Rock alum is “Sorry Not Sorry” about her big diamond and hot emo fiancé.
If your life is also held up by brief respites from current tragedies by nostalgic references, then I’ve got good news for you! Almost two decades after the first Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants movie premiered, Blake Lively (Bridget), Alexis Bledel (Lena), America Ferrera (Carmen) and Amber Tamblyn (Tibby) are still friends!!! The girl gang gathered to celebrate America’s performance in “Barbie.” How I love being a woman!
For anyone else who was devastated by Ziwe’s self-titled show being canceled after two seasons, the satirical talk show host is back with ZNN (Ziwe News Network). Her first iconic guest? Former New York Rep. George Santos, who was expelled from Congress earlier this month. In a teaser released on Sunday, it’s clear that she’s asking the hard-hitting questions: “What could we do to get you to go away?” The full interview is available to stream on Ziwe’s YouTube channel, and I will be sat.
Melanie Whyte (she/her) leads the lifestyle and relationship content at Betches. As an amateur New Yorker and professional bisexual, she enjoys writing about the bane of sex and relationships in the city. She is also perpetually in her messy house era despite spending all of her money on Instagram ads.
