Hi Wrecklings! Last week was a week- as evidenced by my forgetting to include a fun lil intro. I’m driving cross-country this week and have been listening to The Missing Crypto Queen podcast — unrelated to the absolute trash week the crypto markets are having, and the financial markets in general, RIP my 401k.

• “Kim Kardashian Allegedly Damaged Marilyn Monroe Dress at Met Gala”- Not body shaming here — it seemed inevitable that such a delicate, one-of-a-kind piece would have been damaged by whoever wore it… so why’d they let KimK do it?

• “Influencer is BUSTED Photoshopping her glamorous fashion shoot after fans spy a glaring mistake - so did you notice it?”- Uh, I 1000% thought the steps were some fancy art-deco design but dang, that was some insane photoshopping.

• “Restaurants fed up with ‘fake’ TikTok ‘influencers’ demanding free meals”- Somehow TikTok’ers have made the “do you know who I am” move even more insufferable. Unrelated but I’ll look for any excuse to bring it up, remember when Martha Stewart was called out for posting the most unappetizing food pics?

• “Where is Jenna Marbles Now? The Internet Darling Who Became Persona Non Grata”- Nothing super groundbreaking here but it’s an interesting read if you watched Jenna Marbles way back when.

• “Larry Ellison’s Lanai Isn’t for You—or the People Who Live There”- A fascinating and heartbreaking read, with a very 👀🍿🧃 Tom Cruise allegation in there.

• “The Office Hero Who Used a 'Pasta Pass' to Buy His Coworkers $5,000 Worth Of Olive Garden”- Not all heroes wear capes. Wonder if he’s single, for a friend (obviously).

• “‘There is no correct answer’: Influencer’s video on buying, selling kidneys sparks debate”- I liked the “are there more wheels or doors in the world” debate more.

• “Jamie Lynn Spears And Her Mom Publicly Celebrated Britney Spears’ ‘Special And Sentimental’ Wedding Despite Not Being Invited Amid Their Messy Feud”- Britney’s family needs to stop leveraging her for clout, they’re looking like thirsty parasites.

• “US tourist throws scooter down Rome’s Spanish Steps, causing €25,000 damage”- Delightful to see that some Americans feel like we’re not embarrassing ourselves enough as a country and wreak havoc in foreign places.
