#RyanGosling
o The actor is not only starring in the number one movie in the country right now, but this week he scored himself a spot on the Billboard Hot 100.
o His song from the Barbie movie “I’m Just Ken” entered the chart at No. 87.
o It gained 5.2 million U.S. streams and 2,000 downloads in its opening week.
o Now even though it is Ryan Gosling’s first entry on the Hot 100, it’s not his first chart appearance.
o In 2016 his solo version of “City of Stars” from the movie La La Land, spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Jazz Digital Song Sales chart, while the duet with co-star Emma Stone reached No. 8 on the Hot 100’s Bubbling Under ranking and No. 45 on Digital Song Sales.
#TaylorSwift
o We thought she was wrapping up the U.S. leg of her Eras tour this month in LA this weekend and next but the show must go on!
o Taylor announced that it is NOT the end of an era as she has extended her North American dates and added shows in Miami, New Orleans, Indianapolis and Toronto.
o If you want to make the trip, the shows are in October and November.
o Verified fan registration for all shows is open now on Ticketmaster.
#Burrata
o Who would have known that there would be an internet battle over burrata?
o It’s the debate taking over the internet right now and it started after an article called “A Big Fat Blob of Boring: Can we cool it with all the burrata balls?” came out.
o The author claims the popular dish is boring, blaming many restaurants for making “the thick blob of cold dairy” a stand-alone dish on the menu.
o The initial support was huge with people saying things like “Thank you for this much-needed truth-telling,” and “I’m so glad burrata discourse has finally come around so I can confess: I HATE IT. I’M TIRED OF PRETENDING TO LIKE IT.”
o Cue the cheese enthusiasts who have eagerly come to the cheese’s defense wondering why the media is coming after burrata with another joking, “More burrata for the rest of us.”
