Make Ups/Break Ups/Hook Ups/Babies Update:

• Lady Gaga (singer) has split from fiance Taylor Kinney (actor)

• Liv Tyler (actress) had a baby girl, Lula Rose

• Selena/Justin watch...still off?  Selena turned 24 last week, but no big news to report.

Trader Joe's Update

(Random, yes!  Needed, yes!  Since we have a new TJ that opened, I'll share my favorites)

• I love the 3 Layer Hummus, as the name states, it has three layers:  traditional, cilantro hummus, and spicy.  Be careful of putting it in a tupperware and bringing it to work, some people may think it's spoiled and throw it away. :(

July 18th

Alright, let's go--

Music Pop Update:

Britney Spears:

• I know...could we be more excited that Britney may be having a new song?   Private Show is being teased!  Her outfit is a bit risque, but wow she looks good!

Ingrid Michaelson:

• I love Ingrid Michaelson, she's a bit more indy than pop, but heard her new song today:  Hell No.  The video is WEIRD..it's like every snapchat filter combined (and I don't really get snapchat, so I can't even be certain that's what it is...can someone please confirm?)  But I do love her song The Way I Am (circa 2007)

Videos to watch Update:

• Sneak Word was really fun on Jimmy Fallon (thanks Chalupa)

Make Ups/Break Ups/Hook Ups/Babies Update:

• Rumors are swirling that Natalie Morales (TV anchor) is leaving the Today show for Access Hollywood because of an affair with Matt Lauer (TV anchor) ending.  This is not the first time affair rumors have surfaced.  
• Ozzy Osborne (singer) and his wife Sharon "have fallen in love again"
• I don't quite get this story, but I imagine it will be important...Taylor Swift penned the song that Calvin Harris wrote (and Rhianna sang--last pop update), and Taylor's peeps have said Calvin should be glad that she's allowing him to still perform it.  Now there's some twitter feud.  She's also in a feud with Kimye...watch this video to get caught up.  What's the common denominator...hate to say it, but it's T-Swift!
• Joshua Jackson (actor) is splitting from long time love Diane Kreuger (actress)
• Selena/Justin watch...still off?  The Biebs has been busy playing Pokemon Go, maybe no time for Selena?

Style Update

Shows to Binge Watch

• Netflix just released Stranger Things, only 8 episodes, so easy to binge.  It's about a boy who gets abducted by some sci-fi monster thing.  A bit hokey at times, but entertaining.

Random Updates

• Jennifer Aniston has a post going viral that starts with "I am not pregnant, what I am is fed up"  She blasts tabloids for scrutinizing women.  Read it here
• Celebrity quiz, because you want to know which celebrity couple you and your S.O. are...I came up as Chrissy Teigen and John Legend: two peas in a pod -- just like you and your SO! You may come from different backgrounds but your similar dispositions make you perfect for each other
• As mentioned, I should've posted last week when I read a post on Pokemon Go and we could've been first.  Think Geocaching for kids (and adults).  I've heard it was meant to get people out and about (and make Nintendo mass amounts of $)  Here is a 5 minute tutorial, if you're interested. Even the Biebs has been playing.

Shows to Binge Watch

• Home Free just started.  Love this show on Fox...it's reality show where people are buildilng/reno houses and the final winner wins a dream home.  The catch is each week they work on a home and a person is elimanted...the elimanted person ends up getting the home for a week.  Everyone is a winner!

Random Updates

• Opening box office numbers for Finding Dory-- $136 million, knocking Shrek the Third from top animated opening weekend at $121 million

• I don't love a lot of the pre-made sandwich stuff at TJ's (I'd go so far as to say I hate the sushi) but the tofu spring rolls are yum-o...it could be the peanut sauce that makes it.
