Anyone miss the MTV Music Awards from the 90s/early 2000’s??? Courtney Love throwing rocks at Madonna. Rage Against the Machine drummer protesting Limp Bizkit (and rightfully so). Fiona Apple telling us she sold out and starved herself and we shouldn’t! THOSE were awards shows!

CIA created Hollywood right after WW2. When I googled “CIA created Hollywood” the first article that appeared was about BEN AFFLECK saying HOLLYWOOD IS FULL OF CIA AGENTs!! 🤯🤯

Hold on. The United States CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY is following only 36 accounts and like 10 of them are random celebrities?! WTAF is this about

I can’t stop thinking about it.

Help! How do we understand this? I"m so confused about the Jen Garner/Ben/CIA thing... They also follow Claire Danes, Tom Hanks, Ryan Reynolds, Jessica Chastain, Pierce Brosnan, Byran Cranston, John Krasinki and Melissa McCarthy. Is this just some low level person at the CIA who follows the state department plus celebrities they like??

Something like that…

YES. Go look. 🤯🤯🤯🤯

I just did and that’s why I came here to discuss! Like WHAT

It’s actually absurd. WHY???

Expand full comment

I know! You think it would be government accounts. Like…. 🤯

Operation mockingbird???

I’d love to believe it was because they were working to bust horrifying deeds being done in hollywood..but..a bad tipper = icky

Expand full comment

Could it be they’ve all plated characters who are CIA?

It is the verified CIA account. Their highlight bubbles are about careers, internships, scholarships. They have around 500k followers. I don’t think it’s a troll account.

Expand full comment

Melissa McCarthy? Like it’s already super weird and then the actual selection of celebrities is another level of random. 😳

Expand full comment

They are all actors who have played a CIA part in movies/shows.

Expand full comment

Interesting

Expand full comment

Wouldn't it be cool if farmer girl Jen, was really a spook? She travels alot for work. It would make sense to have some spies because they travel internationally for movie premieres and they have been through the training. Interesting indeed.

Expand full comment

I wish they would expand a little 😆

Expand full comment

Yeah I mean these are not the only actors to have played intelligence agents in movies.

Expand full comment

In the early 2000s Jennifer Garner did some official CIA recruitment videos following her role on ABCs Alias

Expand full comment

Okay - However, there has to be many more who have played CIA agents in moveies/tvs. Why these? There is more to it than this. There has to be.

Expand full comment

Exactly!!!

Expand full comment

Except not really

Expand full comment

Hmm ok I guess that makes sense

Expand full comment

I thought the same thing.

Expand full comment

That was what I assumed.

Expand full comment

Yes this....I'm so confused and now I need to know more!

Expand full comment

Why does the CIA have a social media account tho???? 🤔

Expand full comment

It’s all so strange

Expand full comment

I’ll also add that I almost spit out my wine at “Lizzo as a glorified blood clot” 🤣🤣 brilliant Jessica!

Expand full comment

That line was IT! I just read that whole paragraph out loud to my husband! Hey, if Ben had to suffer through the Grammys then my husband can handle Jessica's Grammy recap.

Expand full comment

That got a genuine audible laugh out of me. And then I repeated it and laughed again 🤣

The spit curl on the forehead was kinda cute tho

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oh God, Madonna looked like Ms. Trunchbull from Matilda! It was actually difficult to look at her face, and, I didn't even watch the show. I'm so happy to be a child of the 80's! Every single thing I saw in the Grammy recaps/memes was cring. Harry looked pretty but I'm team Ben, clearly would rather be anywhere else on the planet.

Expand full comment

Harry IS pretty. But that outfit wasn’t it.

His live performance was less than expected.

His fit was Jack in the box vibes for me. He's a beautiful man, but his style reeks of desperation...yawn.

And her voice had zero accent. Obviously the accent was fake but why would she lose it now? I did not and will not watch any mutual masterbation (my favorite line from Van Halen) show again but, of course, can't look away from the cluster eff that is posted online. It's getting so that I have no clue who at least a third of the people are.

Expand full comment

I’m not buying the love story that Jlo is (desperately) selling here. He’s never looked happy with her (google images with Ana de Armas for comparison). Staged?

CIA following celebrities?? Not at all surprised but WEIRD.

Sam Smith felt like a hot mess. Why??? He was even throwing up the 666 hand signs in the performance. He’s such a great singer, and could have created a truly interesting and original performance. All these satanistic references are getting old. I don’t care to engage with that energy.

On that note... I’m truly obsessed with Pamela Anderson after her documentary (just started her audiobook yesterday and it’s amazing so far!). I want more of that energy in my life. Vulnerable, honest and authentic. I was so thrilled when you shared in your stories... can’t wait for your recap ❤️

Expand full comment

She’s the anti-Markle

Expand full comment

😂

Expand full comment

This is the lazy recap I needed. I can't bring myself to watch any of the award shows anymore.

I love your view of the Ben and JLo mystery. He looks so miserable all the time....unless he is courtside at a game--even then he looks like he is trying to hide his joy so JLo doesn't get mad the attention isn't on her.

Expand full comment

He looked so bored and not sober. Painful to watch the few clips I saw. My prediction, the marriage won’t make it to December. Also I’m here for every H and M jab - they deserve them all. :)

Beyoncé is still making music?! 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

Expand full comment

I wondered that too, had no idea she had new music 🤷

Expand full comment

I’m really glad I’m not the only one who is in the dark 😂

Expand full comment

She was super late to the show. Trevor Noah was her hype man and she wasn’t even in the room. You should’ve seen lizzo looking around and mouthing “where’s Beyoncé” in the background. It was hilarious.

Expand full comment

Big boob Beyoncé makes me so sad for all the TRULY talented singers in the world. And she isn’t one of them.

Expand full comment

Why does Ben also look like he's had either some bad plastic surgery, or is wearing too much contouring make up?

Expand full comment

I literally googled earlier "What has Ben Affleck done to his face?" and I think he's contractually obligated to spousally support the Oompa glow.

Expand full comment

Because he is the victim of both, boo.

Expand full comment

Yes something is going on! I feel like that contributes to his look of malaise

Expand full comment

I mean, he's also an alcoholic, and could have dipped into other things, pair that with his weight loss (or post-drinking bloat reduction), along with makeup and definite cosmetic procedures -- in the very least, injectables, he's also had major dental work -- his facial distortion is notable. But I put nothing past celebrities as far as nips, tucks, and tweaks go. I'm a sucker for Lorry Hill's plastics analysis and various other plastic surgeon takes on the LITERAL BUFFET of what famous folk do to themselves!

Expand full comment

Watch the excellent movie “Chasing Amy” to see Ben’s old teeth before his major dental work.

Firstly, the Grammys are now officially worse than their Australian counterpart the Arias!!

Pammy - I have an absolute new found love of her, and kick myself of the years I assumed she was baseless. She is absolutely awesome and me as a 40 something woman, feels all the more stronger because of watching her story.

Nicole....please spill the tea! She lives, or has another compound, just down the road from me and I can't wait to see her in my local grocery store and give her a disapproving stare - I already had one ready for her Balenciaga affiliation, now I can have one for being a Weinstein ho! Us Aussies are nothing if not judgemental about cheating your way to the top - it's called Tall Poppy Syndrome LOL

Walmart Grammys (no offense to Walmart shoppers 🙊).

What happened to class? The Grammys I grew up watching in the 70s, 80s, & 90s could not be missed!

No one cares anymore. They’re all frauds. They’re all tacky. Actually, Ben looks like the only interesting guy there. Let’s go tear up the tables Mr. Affleck 🥃🎲♠️

Everyone is lameeee. Next year it’s gonna be like “I’m the first person to opening sacrifice a child accepting an award”. But Adele looked beautiful. I didn’t watch cause I can’t support rich people giving rich people gifts

Yes, Adele looked stunning and classy of course.

But Adele is rumored to be a real diva and HORRIBLE to staff

I have heard this but I will always love her

While I am down for a good conspiracy all the actor accounts the CIA follows are main characters in CIA movies/shows . Ryan -safe house, John- Jack Ryan, Claire Daines- homeland, Affleck-Argo.
