Shall we, kittens? It’s MONDAY, after all. May as well plunge into it — and by that we mean do everything you can to avoid having to deal with anything. Join us in our irresponsibility! We have many ways of distracting you today planned.

SNL UK Debuts with a Tina Fey F-Bomb, Reanimated Princess Diana
The UK iteration of Saturday Night Live kicked things off with a familiar format—but way more vulgarity.
As she took the stage as the first-ever host of SNL UK, Tina Fey raised the question many have mulled: “Why do a UK version of SNL?” The longtime Saturday Night Live writer and castmember answered her own question with her trademark disingenuous deadpan. “Like so many large scale American operations these days, no one knows why.”
Fey’s monologue, which used the US show’s familiar Q&A format, also pulled in Bridgerton’s Nicola Coughlan to ask why it was Fey, not any of the UK’s multitudes of acting and comedy greats, who was hosting the show’s premiere. Fey’s answer? “For this first episode, none of you fuckers would do it.”

Saoirse-Monica Jackson Isn’t Afraid to Get Intense
The world was first introduced to Saoirse-Monica Jackson as the awkward and expressive schoolgirl Erin Quinn in Derry Girls, navigating Troubles-era Northern Ireland and its conflict with the same fervor as her crushes, convent school, and cringe-inducing teenage chaos. The Irish coming-of-ager, created by Lisa McGee, became a cultural phenomenon that transcended time and place. Now, four years after its end, Jackson has reunited with McGee for the zany murder-mystery How to Get to Heaven From Belfast.

33 of the best 2000s movies, from Dreamgirls to Legally Blonde
The early Noughties really were a golden era for films.
There’s no denying that the Noughties brought with it an iconic era in movies. So Glamour has rounded up the best 2000s movies and where to watch them.
Above all, the 2000s gave us the golden standard when it comes to chick flicks, from How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days to A Cinderella Story and The Notebook, there’s basically a must-watch romantic movie from the early Noughties for every day of the week, and then some.

Who is Zelda in Peaky Blinders?
Wait… who is Zelda again?
The Peaky Blinders film The Immortal Man is here — and it finally gives us a definitive ending to the tale of Tommy Shelby. Spoiler — he is, it turns out, not an immortal man — and, yes, his demise is just as Shakespearean and tragic as one might have hoped. […] For Peaky Blinders fans who haven’t recently done a big rewatch — or, for that matter, for newcomers — there may be a little head-scratching going on here. Who is Zelda? And why is she so important?

Here’s how to style an oversized button-up for your most stylish spring yet
All the New York girls are wearing them right now.
Figuring out how to style an oversized button-up shirt will unlock so many outfits. Take it from someone whose wardrobe includes a full collection of button-downs in a whole variety of colours. This should come as no surprise, since fashion editors and French girls alike have long sworn by the magic of a classic collared top. It’s one of the key capsule wardrobe building blocks, and it can transform even the simplest warm-weather outfits into polished, head-turning looks.

Black flared trousers are having a moment – here’s 10 ways to wear them
Once a boring office go-to, these are looking totally chic and sexy for spring. And we’re here for this fashion renaissance.
If there’s a fashion piece that marks the beginning of adulthood, it’s a pair of black flared trousers. You know, those slacks you purchase once you get your first ‘real’ office job, upon the advice of your mum who brutally breaks the news: your wardrobe is in desperate need of ‘appropriate clothes’. But this spring, black flared trousers are more than just a business casual essential – they’re a styling piece that can help unlock a whole new wardrobe.

Who’s in the cast of The Other Bennet Sister?
A new one for your watchlist, period drama fans.
With Bridgerton on hiatus until next season and Wuthering Heights mania dying down, you might be on the hunt for your next period drama fix. Thankfully, we have The Other Bennet Sister, a BBC drama based on the timeless Jane Austen classic, Pride and Prejudice, and focused on one of the lesser talked about Bennet family members, Mary — you know, the one that’s described as a bit ‘dull’, ‘awkward’ and not the best singer.
Not exactly traditional main character energy, but we’re glad that Mary’s finally getting her flowers. The 10-part series explores the middle child’s journey of self-discovery from her family home to London and the Lake District as she seeks independence, a life outside her sisters’ shadows, and finds an unexpected love story. The story also explores themes of feminism and a women’s worth not just being tied to her looks.

The Brazilian soccer player had harshly criticized the singer-songwriter regarding an alleged incident involving his daughter.
An alleged incident involving a tween girl and Chappell Roan on the eve of Lollapalooza Brazil music festival has turned into a media case. On Saturday, Jorginho Frello, a midfielder with the Flamengo soccer team, told his 4.9 million Instagram followers about a distressing situation involving the pop star and daughter Ada Law, whom he shares with wife Catherine Harding and Ada’s biological father, Jude Law. The internet’s reaction was instantaneous.

The Story Behind Queen Elizabeth II Becoming Spring’s Unexpected Style Muse
Don your Hermès scarf and grab your top-handle bag.
Who would have thought we’d all be dressing like Queen Elizabeth II in SS26? While the late monarch might not seem like the most obvious runway muse, echoes of her signature looks were undeniably woven throughout the new-season collections – from the skirt-suits at Jonathan Anderson’s Dior debut to Simone Rocha’s tiaras and Demna’s new look at Gucci, where the designer styled a bright-red car coat with a silk headscarf.
At Chanel, a stately pillar-box red look was finished with pearls, while Celine jodhpurs and Givenchy trench-coats evoked her countryside-casual style. And then, of course, there were Prada’s gloves and top-handle bag combinations.

Saturday Night Live: Everything You Need To Know About The Incredibly Funny Cast Of Sky’s SNL UK
Will you be watching the first episode?
After decades of speculation and aborted attempts, this weekend we will finally have Saturday Night Live UK airing on Sky.
The much-loved US version of the show is one of the biggest comedy programmes in the world and has launched the career of pretty much every American comedic actor you know, from Amy Poehler to Jason Sudeikis.
So, we eagerly anticipated the news of who would be the British versions of those megastars to lead SNL UK. The 11 cast members are mostly comedians, so if you’ve seen them before, it’s most likely at a comedy night or show – though there are a few who’ve had parts in TV series you might recognise them from too.

The Best Nail Looks of the Week Prove Why Gold and Metallics Are Always Good Manicure Ideas
Time to sparkle.
This week, the best nail looks I fell in love with came straight from the Oscars red carpet. I’m talking about bold golden spheres and gold jeweled details. A rosé shimmer with golden undertones and icy glazed finishes. There are also some fun, cheeky nail art like a corset-inspired for every dark romance girlie out there or an olive-designed mani for dirty martini lovers.

 
The Chappell Roan Fan Drama With Soccer Star Jorginho, Explained
Roan says she did not send a security guard to reprimand Jorginho’s 11-year-old daughter.
Chappell Roan denies sending a security guard to reprimand an 11-year-old fan.
On March 21, Roan found herself at the center of a new controversy when professional soccer player Jorginho Frello accused the “Good Luck, Babe” singer of making his daughter cry. He seems to be referring to his wife Catherine Harding’s 11-year-old daughter, Ada Law, whom she shares with her ex, Jude Law.
After the story went viral, Roan posted her own side of the story, claiming she was not involved in the incident involving an “aggressive” security guard at their shared hotel. “That makes me really sad,” she said of the child’s experience. “You did not deserve that.”

This New Book About the Joys of Butter Will Make Your Heart Melt
In 2024, Americans reportedly set a new record for butter consumption. Butter molds and sculptures have become a popular piece of edible decor for dinner parties and events. Butter yellow has maintained a spot in the color trend landscape in fashion and home decor. People want butter skin. To top it all off, runners are now carrying heavy cream and salt on runs to make butter in a new trend called “churn and burn.” In other words, it’s high time for a book about butter.
And cookbook author Anna Stockwell has answered the sweet-cream call. The Bon Appétit and Epicurious alum’s new book, The Butter Book, is a celebration of the star of the dairy aisle. Part historical deep-dive, part recipe book, part decorative object, the book was designed by Lizzie Vaughn to look like a stick of butter, complete with a cloudy, wax paper book jacket.

19 Ways to Use Store-Bought Pizza Dough for Pizza Nights and Much More
Use premade dough for pizza, calzones, and stromboli, but also for scallion pancakes, kouign-amann, and roasted chicken.
Pick up a ball of premade pizza dough in the deli section or freezer aisle of your grocery store or at your local pizza place.

(Garlic knots, too, were invented as a way to use up leftover dough.)

We Tasted 9 Caesar Salad Dressings — These 3 Are Our Surprising Standouts
Romaine calm, we tried nine store-bought Caesar dressings so you don’t have to.
Caesar salad hits all the right notes, with crisp romaine, buttery croutons, and the creamy, garlicky, umami-rich dressing that gives it its signature savor. The dish was born at Caesar’s in Tijuana, Mexico, over 100 years ago, though its inventor is disputed. It rose to popularity in the United States thanks to chefs like Julia Child, and remains one of the most popular salad options in restaurants and home kitchens.
Because you can’t make a good Caesar salad without a good Caesar dressing, we tried nine bottled dressings side by side to crown the very best.

‘Saturday Night Live UK’ Makes Its Debut: Celebrity Cameos, Edgy Humor — and Mixed Reactions
Tina Fey hosted the inaugural episode of ‘SNL UK,’ broadcast live from London Saturday night and watched by over 220,000 people in Britain — but was it funny? The Hollywood Reporter rounds up the sketches and reviews.
The reviews are in for Saturday Night Live UK, hosted by Tina Fey with musical guest Wet Leg in its debut this weekend.
The sketches on the first-ever international spinoff of Lorne Michaels’ hit NBC show — impressively executed by a relatively unknown cast and watched on Sky by over 220,000 people — were wide-ranging and made use of the U.K.’s over-performing rolodex of British talent.
The cold open began with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer (played as a dawdling, anxious mess by George Fouracres) enlisting the help of a Gen Z consultant (Jack Shep) to work up the courage to send a voice note to U.S. President Donald Trump and declining to go to war with him. “I’ll do anything,” says Fouracres as Starmer. “Except take a stand.” Hammed Animashaun was on standby as a sycophantic deputy PM, David Lammy.

Chappell Roan Says “I Do Not Hate Children” After Soccer Star Jorginho Frello Criticizes Singer’s Treatment of Daughter
The Grammy winner also addressed Frello’s claims that her team was “extremely aggressive” towards his child, saying the security guard involved in the incident “is not my personal security.”
Chappell Roan is telling her side of the story after Brazilian soccer player Jorginho Frello slammed the pop star and her team’s “extremely aggressive” treatment of his daughter at a São Paulo hotel on Saturday.
The athlete alleged on his Instagram Story that one of the Grammy winner’s security guards confronted his wife and daughter at the hotel they were both staying at after his child “simply walked past the singer’s table, looked to confirm it was her, smiled, and went back to sit with her mum.”
Frello did not share the name of the child, though his wife, Catherine Harding, shares an 11-year-old daughter with Jude Law.

The legendary American sketch show lands in London, hosted by Tina Fey, with surreal highs and a young cast brimming with potential
Saturday Night Live, the American sketch juggernaut that has launched a thousand comedy careers, has landed in Britain.
Known simply as SNL and synonymous with New York, a UK version just debuted, live from London, with a cast of fresh British talent.

Jason Momoa Flees Oahu’s North Shore Amidst Extreme Flooding: ‘We’re Safe for Now but There’s a Lot of People Who Weren’t’
Jason Momoa was forced to evacuate the area where his family was staying on Oahu after a massive storm hit Hawaii, causing the worst flooding the island has seen in 20 years.
The “Aquaman” star took to Instagram to reveal that he and his family fled Oahu’s North Shore on Friday after losing power, and floodwater forced mass evacuations near the Wahiawa Dam, which was under imminent threat of collapse.
“We’re safe for now but there’s a lot of people who weren’t, so sending all of our love,” said Momoa in a video on his Instagram stories. “The conditions on the North Shore are knarly.”
11-Year-Old Ada Law’s Mom Speaks Out About Chappell Roan Incident That Jorginho Called Out: Ada ‘Didn’t Do Anything’
Catherine Harding, Jorginho’s wife — who also goes by Cat Cavelli — addressed the incident on Instagram on March 22
“I didn’t realize it would get this crazy,” Harding said of the situation. “I know that Chappell has responded saying that it wasn’t her security and she didn’t do it.”[…]
Harding added, “100 percent, this security guard was not a security guard of the hotel … I don’t know if he was her personal security guard, but he was with her. That is all I know. Did she send him to do it? Again, I don’t know.”

Barry Keoghan is ‘hiding away’ after online ‘abuse’ over his looks: ‘You don’t want to even be on screen anymore’
“I say this being absolute pure and honest to you. It’s becoming a problem.”
Barry Keoghan is reflecting on the vitriol he’s dealt with online as his star has risen in Hollywood.
The Saltburn actor addressed the negativity he has faced throughout his career during a candid interview on Friday.
“There’s a lot of hate online,” Keoghan said on SiriusXM’s The Morning Mash Up. “There’s a lot of abuse of how I look, and it’s kind of past the point of — you know, everyone goes through that… but it’s made me shy away. It’s made me really go inside myself, not want to attend places, not want to go outside.”
He continued, “I say this being absolute pure and honest to you. It’s becoming a problem.”
