Celebrity Social Media round-up for December 19, 2024

Recipes are another easy thing to share and talk about (talking about food while eating is my favourite pastime) – here’s Tom Holland asking about roasted potatoes. I have never mastered this kind of crust but his question is good: why start with cold water?

Spending the holidays with people you don’t want to talk to? I have the perfect solution: The Food Network. Fighting about food is a neutral zone. Show this video of Bobby Flay talking about how he washes his chicken, doesn’t wash his rice, and the only animal permitted in the kitchen is a cat and let the non-political debate start!

The Cut created a list of horny Christmas movies you DO NOT want to watch with your family; this is important work. I know someone who watched Unfaithful with her in-laws, not knowing what it was about before it started and everyone was too mortified to turn it off. Don’t let that happen to you.

Love Island USA had a stellar year with host Ariana Madix in the mix. But things have also worked out well for former host Sarah Hyland, who went to do Little Shop of Horrors and will next play Daisy Buchanan in The Great Gatsby on Broadway. It’s a win-win! The stars aligned for this one.

Football players and singer/actress/models have always been a thing, but they’ve been a very hot story in 2024 for obvious reasons. And it’s not just TNT – Hailee Steinfeld is engaged to Josh Allen. Hailee was once in the squad, making an appearance in the Bad Blood video; Taylor liked the post so obviously they are still friendly. I don’t think Hailee and Josh will have a long engagement and considering she posted the engagement photo, I wonder if we will get a classic PEOPLE Magazine spread.

Will there be a holiday news dump from Jessica Simpson? I don’t know, but she hasn’t done anything to squash the speculation about a separation. Jeremy Renner likes all of her posts, OMG can you imagine. Let’s go into the new year with that kind of gossip energy.

This is my last post of the year, so of course this is how I end it. Season’s greetings!
