We are well-conditioned for the \u201cI\u2019M IN ITALY\u201d photo dumps, it happens every summer on Instagram. This year feels a little more muted on that front \u2013 maybe celebs are reading the room and not flaunting their vacations? I\u2019m not sure.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kate Hudson and Dakota Johnson were in Rome, Shay Mitchell in Florence, Dua Lipa in Palermo, Leonardo DiCaprio was spotted playing tennis with his girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti (she didn\u2019t post it, obviously). And yet\u2026no Clooney sightings, as far as I know. Maybe Amal is too busy with work for a long vacation. (Update from Emily: The Clooneys are in Italy! Brand new photos were just released today and they are attached below.)<\/p>\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I recently finished Sticks<\/em> (which stars Marc Maron) and enjoyed it; there\u2019s a bit of a Ted Lasso<\/em> underlay to the \u201cmen expressing their emotions through sports\u201d theme. But Sticks<\/em> commits to creative choices that most comedies (I think it\u2019s a comedy \u2013 maybe a dramedy?) wouldn\u2019t and it\u2019s the better for it. It also helps that no one does loveable f-ck up better than Owen Wilson. No one!<\/p>\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Chrissy Teigen is leaning all the way into the early aughts with this look. Skimpy sandal, oversized sunglasses and a ludicrously capacious bag.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I\u2019m not getting into the JaNa and Kenny breakup (I\u2019m sure Stephanie will!) but I did watch a few episodes of After the Villa<\/em>. No one could have predicted how much this particular Love Island<\/em> cast was going to blow up and the interesting part of the aftermath is the soul-crushing work of being an influencer. Some of the cast is built for that life, and some people can\u2019t stand living in LA and hustling for brand partnerships. It\u2019s also interesting to watch people who are clearly struggling (like Aaron) and can\u2019t escape this kind of bizarro world; the online vitriol makes them feel like the entire world hates them, so they have no choice but to stay in the bubble.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n LANDMAN<\/em> who lives on the LAND and is MAN. Probably the dumbest show on TV, I will watch every episode of season two. At least Sam Elliot will be there, that makes me feel a little better about it.<\/p>\n
