TGIF, y’all! Celebrate making it to the long weekend with six of today’s top news items, featuring a kids’ birthday party we would like for ourselves, some more amazing Fuller House news and more!

1. Jessica Simpson throws a good party. The singer / business mogul shared some adorable new family snaps from son Ace Knute’s 3rd birthday party, and it looked unbelievable. “Ace turns three and I feel prehistoric!” she joked in one caption, detailing a volcano-inspired cake. The foliage and dino balloons decorations were only second to Jessica’s amazing — and super on-theme — leaf-printed crop top and skirt, which looked amazing.

2. What would Fuller House be without Danny Tanner and Uncle Jesse? Good thing we’ll never have to find out, because a snap from Jodie Sweetin confirmed their return for season two! If you follow the cast members on Insta you will have seen these already, but it’s great to get confirmation from the show ITSELF, y’know? More spoilers keep leaking out about the show as filming continues, so who knows what we’ll find out next!

3. THERE IS A NEW FERGIE SONG. Did you ever think we’d be saying those words? It’s been a decade since the Black Eyed Peas member went solo with “The Dutchess,” and now she’s returned with her first single “M.I.L.F. $.” Will it be a sleeper hit of the summer? TIME WILL TELL.

4. The #GrowingUpShy hashtag is EVERYTHING. People are using #growingupshy to share their experiences of growing up blushing easily, being afraid to talk in class, taking phone calls, and way, way more, and honestly, it is amazing. The scarily relatable trend is still going strong on Twitter, so maybe just keep that search open in a tab today and do a scroll when you need a break and a YAAAAS.

5. The Internet is dying over this man who sent his baby girl to daycare in overalls and no shirt. When mom needs to leave early for a job interview, dad gets to dress seven-month-old Olivia for daycare, and this is the result. “I sent her with that thing on,” he replied when asked if he sent her with no shirt. When his wife casually mentioned that you’re supposed to put a shirt on under them, he said “Uhm. I gotta plead ignorance here.” THAT PICTURE. Cannot. Stop. Laughing. (h/t Ellen)

6. Quote of the day: “Don’t go too fast. Pay attention to the people you surround yourself with and make sure they have honest intentions. Put yourself first, and just breathe. Be happy and always be grateful for the moment you have in front of you. Be here, now.” Lindsay Lohan gives her younger self (and all of us, really) amazing advice as she reflects on the eve of her 30th birthday. Happy Birthday, Lindsay!

Um, Were Madelyn Cline & Austin Butler Just Caught On A Date?

I always get excited when I think about how many celebrity couples we don't know about yet. Glen Powell & Lily James generated some buzz when they hopped into a car together ahead of the BAFTAs, and Outer Banks star Madelyn Cline & Austin Butler (yes, Elvis himself) were just spotted out and about together. Let's dive in, shall we?

Here's everything we know about those Madelyn Cline & Austin Butler dating rumors.

Madelyn Cline & Austin Butler were allegedly spotted grabbing a meal.

A post shared by curators of pop culture (@deuxmoi)

"Seriously just saw Madelyn Cline and Austin Butler" at a celebrity-frequented restaurant in Los Angeles, a DeuxMoi source said at the end of January. One Instagram user commented that since Madelyn and Austin's exes (Pete Davidson and Kaia Gerber) are exes, "dating in Hollywood is 3 degrees of separation."

However, according to another DeuxMoi source, fans have been paying attention to Madelyn's Instagram activity. The actress previously dated her Outer Banks costar Chase Stokes, and has allegedly been liking posts about "the one that got away," and even posted on her Instagram story that she deserves happiness.

"The timing of Chase's relationship doing so great and her having a string of failed relationships, people are just assuming she's crashing out," the second source continues. Yikes, y'all.

I think it's so fascinating how fans allegedly jump to the conclusion that Madelyn is crashing out, and assume Austin (who is also recently single) is totally fine post-breakup. Listen, a girl can go on a few dates without spiraling, dating really doesn't have to be that serious. It's supposed to be fun!

It's also totally in the realm of possibility that they were having a business meeting. For now, we don't really know. But what I do know? Madelyn Cline and Austin Butler would make a cute couple, and even if they don't end up in a relationship, a delicious dinner and maybe a smooch or two never hurt anybody ;).

Stay tuned for more news on these Madelyn Cline & Austin Butler dating rumors, and while we're on all things lovey-dovey, check out the latest news on Madelyn Cline's New Romance The Map That Leads To You.

Blake Lively Literally Just Connected The CIA To Her 'It Ends With Us' Legal Battle

Not only is Blake Lively speaking out about the "sexist" commentary on her legal battle with Justin Baldoni, she's also enlisting the help of...the CIA? Yes, you read that right. The actress just recruited an ex-CIA advisor to help with her case ahead of the March 2026 trial. Wow.

Here's what we know about Blake Lively's latest move in her legal battle with Justin Baldoni.

Blake Lively just involved an ex-CIA advisor in her case.

Blake Lively has enlisted Nick Shapiro, former CIA deputy chief of staff and senior advisor John Brennan (the former director), to help with her case, according to Page Six and Variety.

“The litigation team for Ms. Lively retained Mr. Shapiro to advise on the legal communications strategy for the ongoing sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit occurring in the Southern District of New York,” Blake Lively's lawyers said in a statement.

This proves more than anything else that Blake is taking the trial really seriously because this is a major move on her part.

Recently, Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni actually agreed on something when they spoke out against the "violent" messages Blake and her loved ones have been receiving.

Blake's legal team requested a stronger protection order (PO), considering Blake, "her family, other members of the cast, various fact witnesses, and individuals that have spoken out publicly in support of Ms. Lively have received violent, profane, sexist, and threatening communications" (as the request states), "good cause exists for the Court to adopt the Proposed PO."

And Justin's legal team went on the record, saying they "do not condone dangerous rhetoric targeted toward anyone no matter the situation. Anyone receiving violent messages by anonymous parties is abhorrent."

“When private parties were wrongfully accused by Lively and her paid team of wrongdoing, they received continuous death threats and visits to private homes where young children reside after their addresses were leaked on her initial complaints," they continue. "No one should have to face that, especially private parties who do not have means for security detail. We do not condone dangerous rhetoric targeted toward anyone no matter the situation.”

Stay tuned for more news on Blake Lively & Justin Baldoni's legal battle.
