What Happened This Week Feat. Bradley Cooper, Drew Barrymore, and Some Fake Plane Parts

Also: some suspiciously early buzz for Hugh Jackman's memoir.

Hi friends, it was another one of those weeks where all of my very carefully calibrated plans went haywire because of, yes, CHILDCARE! We DON’T love to see it. I’m here now only because Matt took Henry to Disneyland this afternoon, which quite frankly is maybe the last thing I would want to be doing on an 85 degree Sunday afternoon of a holiday weekend, so I am extremely grateful to him!

Also: this week we’ve got news about Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid maybe going on a date, Drew Barrymore’s writers not coming back to the show post-WGA strike, Hugh Jackman getting some memoir buzz basically the second he started to write, and a scam about fake plane parts that I’m kind of floored actually worked (at least, until they found out).
