-There are certain profile writers that are so good, you know you’re going to love the article the second you see their byline. Taffy Brodesser-Akner is one of those people. Her Tom Ford profile slayed me, and now she’s back again with a GQ cover story on Tom Hiddleston. She asks him about the infamous Taylor Swift tank top, and her asides are even better than his response. (He is definitely, without a doubt, someone who would put on an “I ♥ T.S.” tank top, both to protect a scratch from sun damage and to make his new friends laugh while th—wait, sorry, he’s still talking…He still isn’t looking at me. The last piece of my steak is now poised on his fork in mid-air. He is so sad, and I can’t take it anymore, so I put my hand on his and I say, “Tom, Tom, it’s okay. You don’t have to talk about the tank top anymore. I got it. I understand. I’ll tell the world.” But he can’t stop talking about it. He literally cannot stop talking about it.) Perfection. Go read/devour the whole thing.
–Chrissy Teigen was in a car accident but she’s already tweet-joking about it so it’s all good.

-If Feud’s opening credits are any indication, this show is going to be so, so good. (I can’t wait for this show. Did you know that when Bette Davis was nominated for an Oscar, Joan Crawford sent letters to all the other nominees in that category saying that in case they couldn’t make the awards ceremony, she’d gladly be there to accept for them? And then she did!)
–Kate McKinnon is ready to climb on the Magic School Bus as Miss Frizzle, which is pretty brilliant casting.
-Legion premieres tonight! I hope it lives up to all the raves it’s getting.
