Marvelous Happy Things

Happy Friday! So much has been happening in the entertainment world recently, and I felt inspired to share some bits. 1) Jake Paul and Tana Mongeau's Wedding: In one of the quickest relationships fans and the press have ever seen, Jake and Tana have been YouTube buddies for the past few months. They're tying the knot in a livestream ceremony this weekend after The Challenger Games ( see 2). Have any celebrities (not counting royals) livestreamed a wedding? Not as far as anyone knows. In Jake's most recent video both he and Tana seemed nervous about the wedding and all of the speedy planning they've had to do. Also, I haven't seen a time yet on Twitter for this. Odd. It took a while for anyone to believe that their relationship is real — but Logan cried when Jake asked him to be his best man. It's most likely legitimate. 2) The Challenger Games: Logan Paul organized this one, and it will also be live on YouTube this weekend. The Pauls are busy! It's a tr...

It's been a few weeks, yet the media industry still turns. Here are some bits that stood out to me. Taylor Swift feat. Brendan Urie, "Me"- It's her first single in a year. This is the new, shiny pop version of Taylor. I somewhat miss the harsh sound of reputation, but she may bring that on future singles, who knows? Brendan was a nice addition to this song. I'd seen people praise his voice online a lot, but I'm not familiar with him. What a great introduction. The Jonas Brothers album, "Pure Happiness"- It's out on June 7! They've been performing all over the place, from the Billboard Music Awards to SNL. And they're going on tour! I won't be there, but they've already sold out one leg so far, and tickets for a second North American leg are on sale. I also didn't think I'd be able to buy Jonas Bros merch in 2019, but here we are. Louis Tomlinson, "Two of Us"- I'm a proud Directioner this week. Louis has...

The entertainment world moves a mile a minute. So does your life, probably. I've realized recently that I can't write in depth about every moment because there are too many. Here's a solution: a new column I'm calling Pop Culture Bits. I'll write briefly about moments that impact me and maybe share some entertainment news. Here we go . . . 1) "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X featuring Billy Ray Cyrus- I realized this song was everywhere when I listened to it for the second time one night and then heard someone blasting it while picking up some young men who live nearby. I don't even know what it is that makes this song so popular. It could be because Billy Ray's rap verse isn't half bad or because he stepped in so people would put it back on the country charts. That actually happened —  look it up. 2) Courteney Cox on Ellen with a surprise guest- I've watched many episodes of the show Friends , so the fact that I'm writing about the a...
