Yaya Bey defies everything — from gender norms, to genre, to expectations. Today (March 7), the genderqueer artist dropped her new single, “Sir Princess Bad B*tch,” which is a principled celebration of who she is.
The song opens with her preceding what sounds like a performance in a ballroom. She seems to be certain that the mayor is going to show up to the ball, but make no mistake — she doesn’t give a single f*ck. Over a groovy house-inspired beat, Bey reiterates that she wouldn’t trade the love she has for herself for anything else.
“No other thing but the thing I am / No other thing but the thing I can / Do from the heart ‘cause I know I am / That f*ckin’ girl just ‘cause I am,” she raps on the chorus.
The accompanying music video features Bey taking charge of the dancefloor in lavish fashions, leading a group of other norm-defying individuals into a dance revolution.
The song and video arrive just shortly before Bey is set to perform three SXSW shows next week in Austin, TX.
In the meantime, you can see the video for “Sir Princess Bad B*tch” above.

There’s always that one wedding guest, isn’t there?
For Amy and Harry, their problematic wedding guest wasn’t even technically invited…or human.
As seen in a hilarious now-viral video posted to Instagram by Something Borrowed Films, Amy and Harry’s wedding photographer, the bride and groom stand before the officiant, surrounded by loved ones and the picturesque green fields of their outdoor ceremony venue.
All seems straight out of a fairytale as the officiant begins to ask if anyone has any objections to the partnership. When out of nowhere, a loud “MOOOOOOOOOOO” rings through the air.
Laughter ensues as the officiant tries again if there are any objections, which begets another moo from the “local” cow visible in the video’s background. Understandably, nobody could really keep it together at that point.
“This cow definitely has a sense of comedic timing 😂,” Borrowed Films wrote in the caption of the post.
The clip has racked up over 12 million views and 830,000 likes so far, and gotten some jokes in the comments that were just as funny as the incident itself.
“That has to be an ancestor trying to send a message,”
“You need to hear me out, they said ‘speak cow.’”
“The cow literally spoke at the point the officiant was asking ‘does any person here object?’ When they were done laughing the cow spoke a second time as the officiant asked who may object. That was a sign and they ignored it.”
“A few years later during a fight- “I knew I shouldn’t have married you!!!! I should have listened to that cow!!!” 😂😂😂😂”
“Cow didn’t care about them getting married… they lied to her and said it was a vegan wedding but she saw beef on the menu 😂😂”
All bovine antics aside, Borrowed Films assured everyone that it did not ruin Amy and Harry’s big day. In a follow-up video, we can see how the happy couple’s ceremony was “amazing from start to finish.”
But still, we have the local cow to thank for truly giving them an unforgettable moo-ment.
A Japanese concept known as kaizen is based on making small, continuous improvements daily that eventually result in tremendous growth. The basic idea is that tiny changes can amount to big ones over time.
It’s an interesting concept to put into practice because it’s a lot less overwhelming to make small changes each day than trying to move mountains overnight. Plus, it’s probably easier to stay disciplined.
Blogger David Cain, creator of Raptitude, made three small changes in his life and says they’ve improved his overall sense of well-being by 20%. He admits that it only took about 2% more effort to get results that were 10 times greater.
He started his tiny change routine during Lent, the Christian period of fasting and reflection before Easter. During Lent, Christians are asked to give up something as a form of self-discipline and spiritual reflection, echoing Jesus’ 40-day fast in the desert.
“On a whim, I decided to commit to three small changes for the remainder of Lent, not because I’m religious, but because I like the idea of temporarily renouncing things,” Cain joked.
The three tiny changes he implemented for Lent were deleting Twitter and Reddit from his phone, drinking more water and getting to bed 15 to 20 minutes earlier.
When it comes to significantly improving your well-being overnight, low-hanging fruit isn’t rare.nnhttps://t.co/PUqezt5ENp

“I kept the changes small because small is easy, and might still be worthwhile. First, I renounced the scrolling of Twitter and Reddit, because I kind of got into that again over the winter. I just took five minutes to block them on my phone, and I don’t miss them,” Cain wrote.
“I also started drinking more water again,” he continued. “I’m not sure when I got away from actively drinking water, but now that I’m doing it again, I feel more energetic. Lastly, I stopped pushing my bedtime past my old bedtime by 15 or 20 minutes.”
Cain’s experiment wasn’t about becoming a new person or reaching perfection; he just wanted to make a few small changes. He assumed the changes wouldn’t have a huge impact because they were so easy. Boy, was he wrong.
“How I’ve felt since reminds me of how I felt when I was a bit younger,” he wrote. “I’m sharper, more patient, more inclined to do things. The body moves more easily, the mind finds words more easily, intentions form more easily. It’s not quite an amazing change, but it really is significant.”
Cain’s story should inspire all of us who would like to improve our lives but don’t know where to start. If you don’t have a problem with hydration, scrolling through Twitter, or getting to bed on time, he has a list of over 25 more small changes you can make as well.
As the great Taoist sage Lao Tzu famously said, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.”
“It’s not much of a gamble—to test whether life would get immediately better after quitting some small thing you know is bad for you, or committing to some small thing you know is good for you,” he wrote. “Give it even a week of really doing it, and see.”
(WARNING: Spoilers for the most recent Love Is Blind episode will be found below.)
Clay is the talk of the town after the Love Is Blindseason six. It’s mostly because he opted to not say “I do” to AD during their wedding. “I just don’t think it’s responsible for me to say I do at this point when I still need work,” he said to AD who was shocked by his response. “I still need to get to the point where I’m 100 percent in.” Afterward, AD deemed their relationship as over, but whether that is still the case remains to be seen.
Another reason that Clay is the talk of the town came moments before his wedding. After hearing about him for a few episodes in season six, Love Is Blind viewers were finally introduced to Clay’s father Trevor Gravesande who made quite the impression during his few moments on TV.
Who Is Clay’s Dad From Love Is Blind Season 6? What We Know About Trevor Gravesande
We first meet Trevor Gravesande when he arrives at Clay’s dressing room before the wedding. For reasons unbeknownst to most viewers, Trevor dives into a story of Clay’s early days in track & field. “When I took you out running the first time, I beat you,” he said. “Then, one day, you beat me so bad. You were way before me. I couldn’t believe it.” Trevor then veered a highlight reel of achievements, noting that he nearly reached the Olympics after being an All-American athlete in high school and college. Lastly, he added that he “came as close as the Millrose Games,” but a hamstring injury hindered his promising track career.
The issue here is proof of Trevor’s success as a track star is practically impossible to find, something that both Distractify and We Got This Covered have also noted. Evidence of his participation in the Milrose Games is nonexistent as is his almost-inclusion in the Olympics. So, from the looks of it, it seems like Trevor took advantage of a room full of cameras to boost himself. That, or his name during his track days was not Trevor Gravesande.
As if all that wasn’t enough, Trevor was left to eat his own words and remain in silence after a conversation with his ex-wife and Clay’s mother Rita towards the end of the season six finale. During this scene, Rita and Trevor spoke about how their marriage and Trevor’s cheating within it affected Clay’s view of marriage. Trevor tries to add some charm to the conversation by telling Rita that Clay will soon meet a woman like her. Unfortunately, Trevor’s charm falls flat as Rita replies, “Yeah, you met me but you weren’t good to me.”
Welp.
‘Love Is Blind’ season 6, episode 12 is now available to stream on Netflix.
When it comes to The Takeover — the two-day event series produced by Just Blaze, PaulSellsTX, and Uproxx and hosted on March 13-14 in Austin — you can expect one thing: surprise. Last year’s event brought legends to the stage as Just Blaze was joined by State Property, Jadakiss, Talib Kweli, Bun B, Redman, and a young upstart comedian by the name of Dave Chappelle, all vibing with the crowd, caught in the moment, and toasting the good life.
The next night, Anderson .Paak took the stage as DJ Pee .Wee. What other party can consistently pull off these kinds of feats? Seriously?
For 2024’s Takeover, Just Blaze, PaulSellsTX, and Uproxx are taking over the Summit Rooftop and Lounge for a two-day party (night one is dubbed “Open House” and night two is “Soul in the Horn”). The two nights (plus daytime programming on the 13th) are supported by Rabbit Hole and Farmer’s Gin — with both brands creating exclusive cocktails and tasting experiences on-site.
The current lineup is already awesome but with The Takeover, you always have to bank on unannounced guests. Ticket info below.

Tickets for the Open House and Soul In The Horn takeover are on sale now, with proceeds for the event going directly to charity.
Everyone is entitled to a few nice words at their funeral, as the adage goes. Normally, this is a non-issue. Flaws can be ignored or overlooked for the sake of harmony and a peaceful, optimistic send-off.
But what if the flaws created too much damage and heartache to go without saying?
Sheila Smith made headlines last week with an obituary that was as honest in what can only be described as a brutal sense. Brutal for the departed, her father Leslie Ray Charping, and brutal for the family that had to endure his life and death.
Here’s the obituary in its entirety, taken from the website of Carnes Funeral Home:
Leslie Ray “Popeye” Charping was born in Galveston, Texas on November 20, 1942 and passed away January 30, 2017, which was 29 years longer than expected and much longer than he deserved. Leslie battled with cancer in his latter years and lost his battle, ultimately due to being the horses ass he was known for. He leaves behind 2 relieved children; a son Leslie Roy Charping and daughter, Shiela Smith along with six grandchildren and countless other victims including an ex wife, relatives, friends, neighbors, doctors, nurses and random strangers.
At a young age, Leslie quickly became a model example of bad parenting combined with mental illness and a complete commitment to drinking, drugs, womanizing and being generally offensive. Leslie enlisted to serve in the Navy, but not so much in a brave & patriotic way but more as part of a plea deal to escape sentencing on criminal charges. While enlisted, Leslie was the Navy boxing champion and went on to sufficiently embarrass his family and country by spending the remainder of his service in the Balboa Mental Health Hospital receiving much needed mental healthcare services.
Leslie was surprisingly intelligent, however he lacked ambition and motivation to do anything more than being reckless, wasteful, squandering the family savings and fantasizing about get rich quick schemes. Leslie’s hobbies included being abusive to his family, expediting trips to heaven for the beloved family pets and fishing, which he was less skilled with than the previously mentioned. Leslie’s life served no other obvious purpose, he did not contribute to society or serve his community and he possessed no redeeming qualities besides quick whited sarcasm which was amusing during his sober days.
With Leslie’s passing he will be missed only for what he never did; being a loving husband, father and good friend. No services will be held, there will be no prayers for eternal peace and no apologizes to the family he tortured. Leslie’s remains will be cremated and kept in the barn until “Ray”, the family donkey’s wood shavings run out. Leslie’s passing proves that evil does in fact die and hopefully marks a time of healing and safety for all.
The obituary walks a fine line between uncloaked honesty and mean-spiritedness, repeatedly falling on either side. If this obituary is to be believed (no person or account has publicly questioned or denounced this characterization), his family has a right to be both angry for his life and happy for his death. However, the controversy surrounding this obituary isn’t the survivors’ feelings, but their expression of them.
Sheila, speaking to The Michael Berry Show, a radio program, stood by the obituary she wrote, claiming it was an effort to heal, forget, and minimize the residual impact his death would have on their lives. To realize this, and to fulfill her late father’s wishes, the obituary needed to be honest. She said to the show’s host, ” A week after he passed I sat down and began working on it. I was somewhat blocked and everything I was going to write was going to be a lie,” she said. “He hated a liar and he would appreciate this.”
Speaking earlier to KTRK, Sheila said that those who are bothered by this or the notion of speaking ill of the dead, are fortunate to not understand. “I am happy for those that simply do not understand, this means you had good parent(s) — please treasure what you have.”
She continued to say that whitewashing transgressions that are so endemic and undiscussed in the world, such as her father’s issues with domestic violence and alcoholism, serves no greater good.
She concluded, “I apologize to anyone that my father hurt and I felt it would have been offensive to portray him as anything other than who he was,” she also said. “This obituary was intended to help bring closure because not talking about domestic violence doesn’t make it go away!”
Texas Representative Ronny Jackson has reportedly been misrepresenting his rank as a U.S. naval officer. At the time of this writing, Jackson’s congressional website claims he “retired from the United States Navy as a Rear Admiral.” However, Jackson was apparently quietly demoted to captain after an investigation into his behavior as the White House physician for Donald Trump.
For years, Trump officials have attempted to bat down claims that Jackson was the White House “Candyman” who routinely doled out drugs to staffers like your favorite drunk neighbor hands out treats at Halloween. According to a new Rolling Stone report, Trump’s White House was allegedly awash with speed and Xanax because of Jackson. However, his misbehavior didn’t stop there.
According to The Washington Post, a 2021 inspector general report led to Jackson’s demotion after detailing “substantiated allegations” about his conduct in Trump’s White House:
A Navy official confirmed that the service took unspecified action against Jackson in the wake of the 2021 inspector general’s report, which found that Jackson berated subordinates in the White House medical unit, “made sexual and denigrating statements” about a female subordinate, consumed alcohol inappropriately with subordinates and consumed the sleep drug Ambien while on duty as the president’s physician. At the time of the report, Jackson was classified by the Navy as a rear admiral (lower half), a one-star admiral that is distinct from the two-star rear admiral position.
Mediaite reports that Jackson mentioned the inspector general investigation in his July 2022 memoir, but conveniently left out the part where he was demoted from rear admiral to captain.
And, yes, Jackson is the same physician who routinely touted Trump’s incredible health and claimed the former president “could live to 200” if he ate better. Clearly, a trustworthy source if there ever was one.
If you’re ready to embark on a solo trip to Madrid this Spring or make a last-minute send to SXSW, dive into these plane ticket buying tips and strategies to save yourself more money and earn more points.
Ticket prices can be absolutely egregious at times. I’m constantly looking for a way around paying any price for tickets if I’m being honest or trying to figure out if I can offset a ticket with an annual travel credit I get with one of my credit cards. My favorite way to buy a ticket without paying for a ticket directly is buying airline points directly from an airline and then using those points to get that ticket.
I recently booked a positioning flight to my home airport with Southwest Airlines. I was able to get my ticket with the Rapid Rewards points I still had left over, however, the price of the ticket in a cash fare was kind of outrageous to buy for my wife — I quickly checked the price to buy the amount of points needed and it turned out I would save $70. Win!
Wanna know an even better redemption?
Many times Lifemiles, Avianca Airlines’ frequent flier program, has bonus promotions when buying miles. You can get up to 165% and recently they had up to 175% bonus miles when purchasing a specific amount of miles. Lifemiles requires 87k miles to fly first class with Lufthansa, depending on the bonus being offered, you may only be paying $1,000-$1,300 for miles which will then be used instead of a typical $8,000-$10,000 cash fare. If you are originating from Munich or Frankfurt, you will get to experience the Lufthansa First Class terminal as well as being driven to your plane in a Porsche.
This is by far my favorite way to hack the normal cash fare of a ticket.
Brighton & Mila (@themilescouple): Use AMEX Platinum To Earn 5x Points On Flights
We most frequently use our Amex Platinum to book our flights — not just for the protections that it offers travelers, but because it earns 5x points on flights. If you don’t have the Amex Platinum, we recommend booking with other high-tier cards that earn bonus points on travel categories. Additionally, if you have status with a particular airline, one of the easiest ways to get the most miles out of a booking is to keep increasing in status tier so as to gain more points per dollar spent.
Finally, if you ever see award flights going on sale but you already have a flight booked, always check if your flight is included in the sale! In this case, you can call customer service and ask to be rebooked. Often, this will be at no additional (or very little) cost, and you’ll get to save some points for your next trip!
Allison Tackette (@luckytictac): Use A Credit Card Offering Travel Protections
Whether using cash or points, make sure to pay with a credit card offering travel protections. These travel protections cover baggage delays, flight delays or cancellations, and even rental car coverage. The protections help cover you in the event something happens and you have unplanned out-of-pocket expenses. Take weather delays for example. Airlines don’t have to provide any compensation for hotels, Ubers, or food. But by using the right credit card to pay for travel, you can submit for reimbursement and recoup those costs.
Ryan Horn (@profitsandpoints): Book Southwest Flights As Early As Possible
One of my favorite hacks is booking Southwest flights as early as possible. Southwest Airlines is very generous with their refund process if the price of the flight you booked drops after you book it. If you book a flight with Southwest, and the price of your flight drops, you can rebook that flight and receive a Travel Funds credit for the difference in fare. If you paid with points, the difference in Rapid Rewards points will automatically go back into your account!
All you have to do is sign on to your Rapid Rewards account and use the “Change Flight” option. You’ll then simply change your flight to the flight you were already on.
Serena Stone (@passionforpoints): Use The Correct Credit Card To Lower Your Price
I prefer to use points and miles to book flights but sometimes award flights are not the best choice nor readily available. In these cases when you need to pay out of pocket for a flight, here are four options to reduce the ticket price:
1) Capital One: If you hold the Capital One Venture X card, you will get a $300 travel credit each card member year to use toward travel booked through the portal. In addition, you will earn 5x on flights purchased through the portal with the option to use Capital One miles to cover the cost of the flight to erase the charge from your statement. Capital One also comes with a price match guarantee. Additionally, if you have both the consumer and business versions of the Capital One Venture X card, you will get a total of $600 in travel credit, which can be used for one transaction.
2) Chase: Chase Sapphire Reserve cardholders can book flights through the Chase travel portal and redeem points for 1.5 cents toward flights. In addition, you will have a $300 travel credit each card member year and earn 5x points on airfare booked through the portal.
3) American Express: Business Platinum cardholders can book flights through American Express Travel, use points to pay for the fare, and get a 35% points rebate. This applies to all first/business class tickets and any class of ticket booked with the selected qualifying airline on your American Express account.
4) Direct with the airlines: If booking airfare directly with US airlines, use Google Flights to track prices for your route and dates. You will be notified if the airfare drops so you can contact the carrier for a travel credit.
Angel Trinh (@pennywisetraveler): Use Southwest Airlines & American Airlines For Backup Flights
I love using Southwest Airlines and American Airlines for backup flights. Both airlines have free cancellation, so if I find a better flight or cheaper cash deal I will cancel my flight that I booked with miles/points. The miles/points will go straight back to my airline account, and then I can take advantage of the cheap cash deal or better flight.
Spencer Howard (@straighttothepoints): Use Positioning Flights For Cheaper International Flights

SPENCER HOWARD
Positioning flights, hands down. There’s no way around it, sometimes when booking flights with points or cash, the prices out of our home airport will be absurd. For trips abroad, a great way to get around this is to book a separate cheap ticket to an airport that has much better prices for the flight abroad.
This can be even more useful when booking long-haul flights with points as it can sometimes be tough to find a domestic connection for your flight abroad. With a cheap positioning flight, you can open up many more opportunities.

Believe it or not, buying flights from certain locations can cost more or less. If you have the time, don’t be shy about browsing through a VPN and even from a different country. You can test out different locations to see if the price changes. It might not be a huge difference but if you browse in private or use a VPN, it could end up saving you some money!
Angelo Minella (@paidwithpoints): Consider Booking Flights Through A Travel Portal
When buying a plane ticket be sure to search and compare all sites. Search prices, point requirements, and routing options. Sometimes it makes sense to buy through a travel portal. Sometimes that same flight is cheaper directly with the airline. Sometimes the flight can be cheaper in incognito mode. Also, check for different one ways. If your city has multiple airports sometimes it may be cheaper to fly out of LGA vs round trip to JFK.
Welcome to SNX DLX, your weekly roundup of the best sneakers to hit the internet. And what a week it is — for the first time in 2024 SNX is coming at you with a full list of 10 fire drops. We always aim for a perfect 10 but rarely get there, so this is a week worth celebrating.
There’s something on offer for every type of sneakerhead this week, too. Jordan heads have a new High Cacao Jordan 1 and AJ 4 White Gold (both are women’s exclusives), for the skaters, we’ve got a Converse Stüssy link up, b-ball fans got the Fruity Pebbles LeBron, and for the club kids we’ve got the latest from Rick Owens and Dr. Martens.
Spring is almost upon us so now is there perfect time to refresh that footwear rotation. Let’s dive into the best sneakers dropping this week.
Nike Women’s Air Jordan 1 High Cacao Wow and Sand Drift
We’re feeling the spring vibes with this warm-toned Jordan 1 high top. Dubbed the “Cacao Wow and Sand Drift,” this women’s exclusive features a Sand Drift nubuck leather upper with Dusted Clay and Burnt Sunrise accents, bright purple insoles, and an embossed wing-logo collar.
After months of cool-toned colorways, we’re greeting this change-up with open arms.
The Nike Women’s Air Jordan 1 High Cacao Wow and Sand Drift is set to drop on March 6th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $200. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.
The classic Chuck 70 is getting the shag treatment. Made in collaboration with Stûssy, this Chuck 70 swaps out the usual canvas upper for a hairy suede build with unvarnished foxing, and a vivid true red colorway. Rounding out the design is an altered tongue tag that combines the All-Star name with Stüssy’s star symbol.
The Converse x Stüssy Chuck 70 is set to drop on March 8th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $100. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.
LeBron James looked to his favorite cereal for inspiration for the LeBron 4 Fruity PEBBLES. Only LeBron can take a concept like that and somehow make it work still.
The sneaker features a Foamposite upper in white with a Fruity Pebbles-speckled midsole, and hints of purple. Doubling down on the cereal vibe, the insoles feature Fruity Pebbles branding with an all-over graphic of the cereal.
The Nike LeBron 4 Fruity PEBBLES is set to drop on March 7th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $250. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app or aftermarket sites like GOAT or Flight Club.
Typically the Vomero 5 utilizes a monochromatic colorway, but this Black and Blue Gaze rendition goes a different route with a four-color scheme. The sneaker features a mixed real and synthetic leather upper with plastic accents, and reflective details that give the shoe a glow in low light.
The color combination features a mix of Black, Light Bone, Total Orange, and Blue Gaze. Overall the sneaker has a sporty vibe which is in keeping with the Vomero 5’s heritage as a runner.
The Nike Women’s Zoom Vomero 5 Black and Blue Gaze is set to drop on March 8th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $180. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.
Nike is linking up with the Charlotte-based streetwear brand Social Status for a new take on the John McEnroe Mac Attack. Built on a Summit White soft suede upper, this tennis shoe sports an aged midsole, Social Status branding on the left tongue tag, and black accents.
Underneath the soft suede overlays sits a reflective mesh upper that shimmers in low light. Overall this is a winner, proving once again that the Mac Attack is one of Nike’s best silhouettes, despite not being that well known.
The Nike Attack x Social Status Summit White is set o to drop on March 8th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $140. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.
If you liked the vibe of the Stüssy Converse link-up but you’re not a fan of the low-top Chuck 70 (or the color red) then you’ll be pleased to know that there is a high-top rendition dropping as well.
This version still features the same hairy suede upper, but the red color is swapped for baby blue. Overall, we think this is the stronger release of the two.
The Converse x Stüssy Chuck 70 is set to drop on March 8th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $110. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.
Looking for an ultra-clean Jordan to rock this spring? Look no further than this White & Gold rendition of the Jordan 4. This sneaker features a luxe leather upper in different shades of white over an off-white midsole with metallic gold accents and an embossed Jumpman logo.
It’s one of the few Jordans you can easily pair with some jewelry.
The Nike Women’s Air Jordan 4 White & Gold is set to drop on March 9th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $210. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app or aftermarket sites like GOAT and Flight Club.
The Summit White and Phantom Air Max 1 is a sneaker designed almost exclusively for hardcore fans of the silhouette. The sneaker looks to marble sculptures for inspiration, sporting a marbled two-color suede upper with a textured midsole.
It has a strong and distinct look, yet it’s neutral enough to pair with pretty much any fit. It is a testament to the Air Max 1’s incredible base design.
The Nike Air Max 1 ’86 Summit White and Phantom is set to drop on March 9th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $170. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.

The Sydney’s Signature Collection 9060 is set to drop on March 7th at 9:00 AM PST for a retail price of $149.99. Pick up a pair at New Balance or aftermarket sites like GOAT and Flight Club.

It’s always fun when someone shows up unannounced in a movie, like when Lindsay Lohan showed up in the new Mean Girls movie, or when John Cena appeared in just about any of his films. But it can be nerve-wracking when somebody arrives unannounced in real life, because then that could potentially cause confrontation, and actors aren’t good at that kind of stuff. Good thing Jennifer Coolidge is universally loved enough to show up just about anywhere!
The White Lotus actress appeared at the pre-Oscars Green Carpet Fashion Awards, which was co-chaired by Zendaya, Annie Lennox and Helen Hunt, though she made it clear that she wasn’t exactly invited to the event. Luckily, she was welcomed with open arms.
Coolidge appeared on stage to say, “I am sort of an imposter here tonight,” the “White Lotus” star told the crowd. “I am just staying in the hotel. I didn’t know about this. I didn’t know it existed. I didn’t know how incredible [it is]. I got in on this in a sneaky little way,” she said before offering up some compliments. “I just want you to know I am so impressed. And I am going to give some money tonight. I made great friends.”
The actress then presented Donatella Versace with the 2024 Game Changer Honor in recognition of her service to the global LGBTQ community, which is ironic considering Coolidge’s history. The lesson here is that you can show up anywhere if you have enough confidence!
