Taylor Swift’s Feet 

Tikmero_’s TikTok about Taylor Swift/foot fetishes “I think it’s about time that we Swifties just acknowledge… that there’ve been too many instances, over the many, many years of Taylor Swift having a social media presence in which her feet are like, a huuuuge part of it. At this point, it is literally impossible that she doesn’t know about posting your bare feet on the Internet.

Chris Pratt

“the culture of "my wife moves mountains for me, sacrifices her personal happiness for mine, is way out of my league in every way, and I am..a man who does nothing for her in return haha🥰 men, get you a woman who's serving you while you just sit there!" is so toxic and must die.”

PopCrave “Anna Faris trends on Twitter as people show her love after her ex-husband, Chris Pratt, praised his new wife in a new Instagram post, saying: “she's given me an amazing life, a gorgeous healthy daughter.” Anna Faris has been open about her son Jack's health issues.”

TIL when Dr. Joyce Brothers was a contestant on The $64,000 Question the show’s sponsor Revlon tried to get rid of her because she didn’t wear makeup on air. She was asked increasingly obscure questions but was able to answer them all correctly and became the show’s first woman to win the top prize.

This week's episode is as bittersweet as it gets.

22-year-old #VanLife blogger Gabby Petito and her boyfriend, Brian Laundrie went on a road trip and only one of them came home. For once, Internet chatter about a disappearance was not only helpful, but appreciated by the family. This story has a tragic ending that is still writing itself.

Before we get in to the story of Gabby and Brian, we touch on other big topics this week that we couldn't ignore. Nicki Minaj's cousin in Trinidad's friend's balls, JoJo Siwa is pissed at Nickelodeon and Switchfoot says, "GAY RIGHTS!"
