Mother’s Day was this past weekend, and that was made clear by the millions of social media posts that were made yesterday in honor of moms everywhere. Taylor Swift crafted a heartfelt post in honor of her mother as well, in which she shared a cute home video of herself as a child, having a conversation with her mother, Andrea Swift.
The minute-long clip starts with Andrea prompting Taylor to count, and being supportive even when Taylor jumped from two all the way to five. Taylor used this video to highlight how chats with her mom are among her fondest memories. Swift wrote, “My conversations with my mom have always been and will always be some of my favorite memories – from when I was 10 months old in this video from October 1990 to now talking every day on the phone. Our talks are everything to me. Myyyyyyyy goodness I love you Mom. Happy Mother’s Day. PS for those of you who are separated from your loved ones or struggling with this day, my heart is with you.”
One of the best episodes of The Office is also one of the sweetest. Season six’s “Niagra” finally found those crazy kids Jim Halpert and Pam Beesly tying the knot after years of “will they, won’t, Roy they” longing from across the Dunder Mifflin conference room. It’s an eventful two-part episode, with Jim accidentally disclosing Pam’s pregnancy in front of her family, Andy puncturing his scrotum, and the happy couple aboard the Maid of the Mist ferry boat, but it’s mostly remembered for the dance sequence down the aisle. Not Jim and Pam dancing down the aisle, but their co-workers, especially a giddy Michael.
On Some Good News, host John Krasinki got the cast back together to recreate the dance. He was inspired by Susan and John, real-life The Office fans who, as the actor jokingly put it, “elegantly ripped off our show for your proposal.” He got ordained to marry the pair, enlisted country star Zac Brown to perform “The Man Who Loves You the Most” at the virtual wedding, and brought in familiar faces to the Zoom call: Steve Carell, Mindy Kaling, Rainn Wilson, Angela Kinsey, Ed Helms, Jenna Fischer, Kate Flannery, Brian Baumgartner, Phyllis Smith, Oscar Nunez, and Creed Bratton. It’s a lovely gesture from Krasinki, even if the Chris Brown of it all hasn’t aged particularly well. Still: very cute!

I can only assume Kevin was wearing his tissue-box shoes.
Post Malone capped off April by performing a livestream set of Nirvana covers, and people who were in or close to the band gave their approval (namely, Courtney Love and Krist Novoselic). Now, the remaining surviving Nirvana member, Dave Grohl, has shared his thoughts on the livestream, and he was a big fan.
He spoke about it during a recent interview with ALT 98.7 FM, saying:
“It was so weird, because I was writing… I started this Instagram page called ‘Dave’s True Stories,’ because I thought, ‘Well, I just wrote a whole record, I don’t wanna write music. And I don’t really know what else to do, so I’ll just write all these stories.’ So I’m sitting there writing one of these stories out, and someone said, ‘Hey, Post Malone is live on YouTube right now doing a whole set of Nirvana covers.’ And I’ve met him before. He’s really nice, he’s really cool. I’ve met his dad, he’s cool too. So I was, like, ‘Oh, that’s kind of cool. I’m in the middle of writing something.’ And then I started getting hit with texts, people texting me, like, ‘Yo, are you watching this Post thing?’ And I’m, like, ‘No, I’m writing right now.’ They’re, like, ‘It’s pretty good.’ I’m, like, ‘Really?’ So I keep on writing. Another text comes in, ‘Dude, are you watching this Post Malone thing?’ And I’m, like, ‘No.’ So finally I tuned it. […] I started watching, and first of all, watching Travis [Barker] play the drums to those Nirvana songs, I was honored. I thought that was super cool. More than the sound of it and more than the chords and whatever, it just sort of felt good. To me, it didn’t feel weird. They were killing it. So I watched a bunch of it. I was like, ‘That was really cool.’ I don’t get to see other people do Nirvana songs often, and he seemed perfectly comfortable with it, and it sounded great. […] Even the die-hard Nirvana people that I know were, like, ‘Dude, he’s kind of killing it right now.’”
During the chat, Grohl also compared the upcoming Foo Fighters album to David Bowie, saying, “It’s filled with anthemic, huge, sing-along rock songs. It’s kind of like a dance record, but not an EDM, disco, modern dance record. It’s got groove. To me, it’s our David Bowie’s Let’s Dance record. That’s what we wanted to make, we wanted to make this really up, fun record.”
Jerry Stiller, beloved Seinfeld actor and father to Ben Stiller, has died from natural causes at the age of 92. The news arrived through a tweet from Ben, who paid tribute to Jerry as “a great dad and grandfather, and the most dedicated husband to Anne for about 62 years.” Ben added, “He will be greatly missed. Love you Dad.”
