Happy Sunday. I know I’m late, but after an impressively fast binge-watch of Sterling Point, I’m counting down the days until we get a second season. While I await our return to the Canadian wilderness, I’ll also…
Make my apartment smell like that first gust of crisp fall air, with this clever cleaning trick. Not only do I already have everything I need, but there’s also something delightfully witchy about the whole process.
Purchase the statement-making piece of outerwear that’s haunted my Depop searches for years and just got the Cool Girl stamp of approval for fall. How chic would it look in a dark brown suede?

🔮 Call it the Practical Magic 2 effect, but “supernatural scarlet” is this season’s most bewitching hair color trend. Quick, gather your coven — sorry, colorist.
👔 If the agony of wearing another basic white button-down has become too much to bear, good news — we’ve entered the “suit shirt 2.0” era. Think: less stiff, less corporate, and way less boring.
But somehow that wasn’t the biggest Woodley story of the night. Per Us Weekly, the actress was spotted at the awards ceremony “deep in conversation” with Olivia Munn, who she happens to have a certain something — or rather, someone — in common with. (Correct, “football guy” Aaron Rodgers.) The obvious question: What did they talk about? Perhaps a cameo in the upcoming season of Big Little Lies?Maybe Woodley was congratulating Munn on being married to the funniest guy of the night (DJ Khaled, we await your response)? Who’s to say, but the outletalso claimed “Munn held Woodley’s hand as the latter shook her head,” which, in our experience, is the universal sign of sh*t-talking your ex. That’d make sense, since a few days earlier the Steelers quarterback, who hasn’t been linked to Woodley in over four years, went on his teammate’s podcast and seemed to go out of his way to say a lot of awful things about her, including a rather revealing admission about their engagement — before telling her to “move on.” Wondering how Woodley responded when asked about Rodgers’s comments? She laughed and walked away. Take that, Aaron.
So much for the hard-knock life. In honor of the musical’s 50th anniversary next year, Annie is heading back to Broadway. Details are slim, but here’s what we know: It’ll be directed by Sam Pinkleton (of Oh, Mary! fame), who’s apparently the world’s No. 1 Little Orphan Annie fan, and it’s coming — not tomorrow, but in fall 2027. Not that Big Broadway™ asked for our input, but we took the liberty of casting this, frankly, quite necessary revival:
Meg Stalter as Annie. Sure, the role is usually filled by an adorable unknown, but hey, the Great White Way has ticket sales to keep up with — and no one commits to a bit like Meg (see above).Our sincerest apologies to Jesse Tyler Ferguson and his Tony-worthy audition tape.
Pitbull as Daddy Warbucks. After all, they both know a thing or two about what it’s like to be (a) very rich and (b) very bald. Dale.
Wendy Kelce-Swift as Sandy. It’s time our favorite nepo dog made her stage debut…dirtied up for believability, of course.
Miss Piggy as Miss Hannigan. No explanation necessary.

Growing up is hard…even in your 50s. In Youth, the new HBO series premiering tonight, Queen of Messy Dark ComediesSharon Horgan (Bad Sisters, Catastrophe) plays Alex, a London literary agent who’s navigating her “dick for brains” ex (how he’s listed in her phone) moving abroad, her teenage son heading off to college, and her aging parents’ care — all while trying to break her dry spell in her “like, 10 years left as a sexual person.” As Alex juggles clubbing as a 50-year-old and a situationship with a childish 47-year-old (Rupert Friend), expect sex scenes “so wild you’ll be laughing for weeks,” middle age observations that hit a little too close to home, and a main character who’ll have you calling your therapist. As one commenter put it, “I would follow Sharon Horgan into a volcano.”
