Are we getting new Lorde?! Oh, praise be! - (Lainey Gossip)

Speaking of Lorde, she maybe was/is going to join Charli XCX at Coachella, which started yesterday, but don’t fret if you’re not there! You can still catch all the acts from the comfort of your living room/bedroom/bathroom - (EW)

From Dustin: She remains adamant in her opposition to Trump, even as he freezes our funding and wallops the state with pointless investigation after investigation. - (NYT)

Back in the day, Bill Hader got fired from his movie theater job for spoiling the ending of Titanic to sorority girls who made fun of him. Not the ship-sinking part, the Leo’s character part. I hope they already knew about the sinking. - (Variety)

Oh, hey, did we miss this? Madonna and Elton John made nice with each other after TWENTY YEARS of sniping! - (SocialiteLife)

If I saw Max Greenfield in person, I’m sure my brain would just fritz out on Schmidt lines. But right this minute? I would yell either “hair chut-en-y” or “janky freshwater bitch fish” at him. Dammit, time for a New Girl rewatch. - (Celebitchy)

A pigeon landed on Peter Doocy’s dumbass head during a live broadcast from the White House, prompting Doocy to query, “Hey! President Trump, if you’re watching upstairs, we’ve got to do something about these birds. Where’s the [National] Park Service?” Hey! Dumbass Doocy, he fired them all, remember? - (PEOPLE)

On last night’s Real Time, Bill Maher discussed the dinner he had with the 47th President of the United States, as arranged by their mutual friend, Kid Rock. Maher said about exactly what you’d expect Maher to say. The word “gracious” may have been used, and I may have up-chucked-the-boogie. (Deadline)

Speaking of: Because the NASDAQ continued to tank with tariffs on China, the 47th President exempted smart phones, electronics, and computers from the tariffs. So, like, most of the things that matter to American companies. (The Verge)

Hugo was the first being to elicit a genuine laugh from me today. Thank you, Hugo! If you desperately need a smile or laugh, I hope Hugo can do the trick for you, too. Sound on is beneficial but not required.

This is Hugo. He is facing off in an epic battle against his toy ball. Just waiting for his opponent to make the first move. 12/10
