Ranked: 7 Thursday Pop-Culture Moments, From 'Aww, Fine' To 'Kourtney Vs. Jennifer Lawrence, Round Two'
Kourtney got an email from Jennifer Lawrence, Justin Timberlake owned a very confusing paparazzi pic, and James Gunn went to WAR over Clayface. We ranked Thursday's best pop-culture moments.
Stop scrolling, because Thursday has delivered a stacked pop-culture lineup, and we have opinions. Here are seven real stories from the last 24 hours, ranked from "sad but gentle" to "the group chat is on FIRE."
7. Minka Kelly And Dan Reynolds Have Reportedly Split
Let's start with the quiet one. E! News reports, citing multiple outlets, that the Friday Night Lights alum and the Imagine Dragons frontman have broken up after almost four years.
They only made their red carpet debut in May, which makes this extra sting-y. E! says it has reached out to reps and hasn't heard back, so we'll keep this one gentle. Sending good vibes.
6. Milania Giudice Apologizes To Mom Teresa
After that heated airport incident, TMZ reports Milania took to Instagram to say sorry, re-sharing a post about appreciating how she was raised. Page Six adds that her caption read, "You are the best sorry."
Family drama with a soft landing? We love to see it. Ranked low only because it's the least chaotic ending possible.
5. Travis Kelce's Birthday Brag Is Not About Taylor (Sorry)
Travis turned 37 with dinner at Torrisi in NYC alongside Taylor Swift, per E! News. But on New Heights, he said the "best news" he got was that the Chiefs beat the Raiders 30-27 to go 4-0.
Priorities, folks. He also described one dessert as "weird" but "nice," which is the most Travis review imaginable.
4. Travis Barker's Hospital Selfie Has A Very Practical Explanation
Fans had questions about that hospital photo, and Travis answered them. He had cubital tunnel release surgery after numbness in his arm, hand and fingers following a show last month, E! News reports.
His goal is to keep drumming "for a long long time," and he says he should be good in a few weeks. The caption joke about Kourtney looking so happy in the pic? Chef's kiss.
3. James Gunn Went To BAT For Clayface
When a Threads commenter asked "who tf asked for a Clayface movie," the DC Studios boss did not let it slide. According to Variety, he fired back with a list: "Who tf asked for Back to the Future? Casablanca? ... Fury Road? Weapons? The Matrix?"
His argument: public voting on IP isn't the only way to make a movie. Clayface hits theaters Oct. 23, and Gunn clearly isn't taking questions on whether you wanted it.
2. Justin Timberlake Is Not Okay With THAT Paparazzi Pic
A photo of JT stepping out in NYC made it look like he was kissing his chauffeur on the head. It's an optical illusion, and Justin knows it. "Why y'all have me looking like I kissed this man on his head??" he commented, per E! News.
Bonus: he also apologized to the internet for his beatboxing era. "Too many boots. Too many cats." We have never respected him more. π
1. Kourtney Kardashian Got An Email From Jennifer Lawrence
Remember when Jennifer Lawrence called Kourtney "more annoying than ever" on Vanity Fair's lie detector test? On the Kardashians season eight premiere, Kourtney revealed J.Law emailed her about it, according to E! News.
The message, per Kourtney: J.Law feels like she's "one of your sisters." Kourtney's verdict on the email? "So nice." Then the joke: next time Jennifer visits, "we can go at it, Kourtney and Kim style."
Season eight, episode one, and we already have a winner.
The Tea β
- Kourtney took J.Law's shade in stride, joking about a Kourtney-and-Kim-style showdown.
- Gunn, Timberlake and Barker all addressed the internet directly. Respect.
- Two relationships/families made headlines too, one sad, one soft.
Honorable mention: Page Six has the "where to watch" for the Kardashians premiere if you need it.
So what's YOUR ranking? Is Kourtney's email reveal the clear No. 1, or does Justin Timberlake's "too many boots, too many cats" take the crown? Sound off in the comments.
