#But I actually had to unfollow her twitter in October or November or so because she posted some incredibly tasteless

[salvadorbonaparte]

Is Mona Baker's anti-semitism in reference to her support of palestine or is there something I'm missing

Have you seen her twitter account lately lmao

[jolivia-things]

I don't think she's given up her family, her and Jason had split anyway. —— There are those beach pictures of Jason and Olivia where they actually look quite happy, these were taken in November 2020. I very much believe Olivia and Harry had something going since October. I also believe they were found out somehow and the wedding pap walk was a direct result of that. Sorry but Harry was def a big factor in Olivia’s and Jason’s permanent split. Jason was still hoping for marriage counselling to help them stay together.

The beach pictures are from September 2020, I agree they seem happy however I'll be honest I do genuinely think Jason and Olivia were struggling from late 2019 through 2020. That's not to say a break up was inevitable - indeed the video I posted of them from May 2020 shows them absolutely fine - but even Jason admits he had some stuff going on.

I also agree Jason wanted to patch things up. If you have a spare couple of hours then I encourage you to listen to his Questlove podcast recorded 30 December 2020. Another anon mentioned it somewhere and I listened and I think because he's friends with Amir (Questlove) he opened up about stuff more than usual. Amir asks him outright about the split and Jason's answer indicated he wanted a reconciliation.

My personal thoughts on the timeline are as follows:

October/November 2020: Jason and Olivia split

November/December 2020: Jason tries to work on himself to get her back. (He said he lost 30lb, and interviews from this time show him as self-reflective if a little sad.) He refers to Olivia as his partner which confused a lot of people, but I believe it's because she's giving him the impression she's open to trying again. Pictures of him and Olivia were taken seeming physically close if not together.

January 2021: The turning point. Pictures of Olivia and Harry are released. I think this was something she planned behind the scenes without telling Jason. The morning the photos are released was when Jason did the Ted Lasso panel with Yvette Nicole Brown (and incidentally the final time he referred to Olivia as his partner.)

He was in London by this point, and to be honest I think this was his final straw. He released the article in People about being blindsided and Olivia lying about the timeline which is out of character for him. He also unfollowed her on Twitter which again is out of character as he stays on good terms with his ex's.

January/February 2021: This is where it all falls apart for Jason and Olivia. She deletes pictures of him from IG, he unfollows her on Twitter as I said above. It's also when I believe he starts seeing Keeley.

Something must have happened in this timeframe to make Olivia and Harry pull back the PR for a few weeks. I don't know if it was because of the backlash but I get the feeling more was planned and they stopped it. Hence we only got the weird Olivia moving her stuff to Harry's videos.

This wound up being an essay anyway so I'll stop now.

Soooooo ..... Zachary Levi and I are a thing now (*wink*)

Back in late 2015, early 2016, I found myself on a Zachary Levi kick after watching him on Eva Longoria’s short-lived comedy series “Telenovela.” I thought the show was funny and had some actors whose worked I’ve enjoyed for years, plus some actors who I was discovering for the very first time. Zachary showed up on the series in the unexpected role of a studio head with a serious case of workaholism who was attracted to Eva’s character.

Yes, he looked hot in that scene where he carried her in his arms after being outside in the rain. And yes, it was intentionally shot to look like the cover of a romance novel, and it succeeded. But what really caught my attention about Mr. Levi was when he serenaded Eva’s character, hoping that she would marry him go with him to his cousin’s wedding after only dating for a short period of time. (See clip below.)

Now I knew Mr. Levi could sing, and although I had not watched it at that time, I knew he was technically a Disney prince in the film Tangled and millions of people had already learned to swoon over him in animated form. But as I said during my mini-obsession then, he didn’t really get my motor running. At best, I thought he was adorkable and sweet.

But when Zac performed that number on “Telenovela,” I could suddenly see why so many adored him. That voice was like butter, and when combined with his self-effacing sense of humor, general charitable nature, and natural smolder (*wink*), he’s got a lot to make the crowd go “Well, damn!”

Following my “discovery” of his lovely voice, I decided to get tickets to see She Loves Me for my birthday back in 2016. Even though I’m not a big fan of romantic comedies, I do enjoy those older rom-coms from the 60s-70s with actresses like Doris Day, where the comedy is often in the form of unlikely coincidences or cases of mistaken identity. And would you know it, She Loves Me was so good, I went back to see it a second time (thank you TodayTix!). And this time, I stood by the stage door and promptly photographed and recorded everyone in the cast as they went down the line humoring us little people with easy banter and autographs. 

You can see more of how that went in my post here. Sorry if most of the images are blurry. 

But I got to meet Mr. Levi, embarrass myself in front of him, and walk home in shame said embarrassment that would last a good fortnight. I didn’t share those pics of us together because despite showing the woman I asked to take the photo how to use my camera -- it was so easy, I’m not sure how she didn’t understand, you literally only had to just touch the screen -- the photo is too dark and out of focus to share as proof of that moment. 

Well, since I was still inwardly kicking myself for making Zac feel weird from my awkward stuttering, I allowed myself to follow him on Twitter and keep my distance like a good non-stalker. 

Fast forward to the month of November 2016. I’ve now seen Zac on Broadway 3 times thanks to his role in a strictly limited production of Sunday in the Park With George starring Annaleigh Ashford and Jake Gyllenhall in October. They added an extra show at the last minute, and yep, my credit card is still charging me interest on it. No regrets. 

But as you may recall, November was the now infamous US election that will ring through history long after countries no longer exist, and in the aftermath of the results, Zac showed himself to be less than ... “aware” of what was actually happening in America before or after the election, and I decided to unfollow him on social media.

Still a fan, sure. But I knew if I wanted to stay a fan, I needed to keep my attention focused on his work. Not his politics. 

Over the course of 3 years, I watched him “Heroes Reborn.” I finally watched Tangled. I hated his death in Thor: Ragnarok (still do!). I nursed my heartache over the death of Fandral with his role of Billy Goldrick in Psych the Movie. I squee!ed in excitement when he was announced as Shazam for the DCEU. And I respected the hell out of him when he decided to be more and more forthright about his struggles with mental illness. 

But ultimately, I’ve kept my distance from Mr. Levi since 2016. That is, until now. 

What’s changed? I finally got around to watching “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.” Yes, I kept hearing good things about it. But sistas are broke these days, and stupid Amazon Prime doesn’t let you just purchase the series to watch it online by itself. No. You have to subscribe to their subscription service like a chump. 

I investigated the possibility of using someone else’s subscription to watch the series, but so far, I couldn’t find anyone to let me try. Sooooooooo ... I signed up for the 30-day free trial, and I’m going to cancel the subscription before they can charge me for the first month. I have 2 weeks left. Ha! Suckers.

Anyway. I watched Mrs. Maisel and immediately loved it. And when Zac showed up, immediately loved him too. And yes, he broke my heart in his last scene in season 3, and I’m still not over it. 

Regardless of my coping mechanisms, my obsession with Zac has been renewed. And for the last 2.5 weeks, I’ve been either re-watching things I’ve seen him in (She Loves Me on BroadwayHD; Psych the Movie; clips from his talk show interviews on YouTube) or watching things he’s been in that I’ve never seen before (Geeks Who Drink game show series; Weiners; First Date captured through a brave, but shaky pirate cam on YouTube; that clip of him in Office Uprising). And I’m not even close to done. 

I’m going to ride this obsession until I’m completely Levi’d out. Over the next week, I plan to watch Alias Grace on Netflix; re-watch Tangled (I own it actually); Shazam! (of course); and every YouTube video of his InstaStories Q&As and his comic con Q&As I can find. At some point, I will get sick of him. I just know it.

And when I do, I wonder if it will fall before or after I attend Awesome Con in D.C. in May. Yep, I already bought a ticket. I’m determined to get a half-way decent photo with him this time. Here’s hoping the trip won’t break the bank.

Anyway, that’s all for now. This post is already long as hell. I just needed to give this obsession room to breathe, and explain why you may see me reblog a lot of images and clips featuring Zac over the next week or so. So consider yourself warned.

Remember: No regrets.

Word On The Curb Is That NBA Baller Jimmy Butler Is Dating Singer Selena Gomez

What’s cooking up between Miami Heat player Jimmy Butler and singer Selena Gomez? Find out inside…

Another COVID connection? Possibly.

Word on the curb is that Miami Heat baller Jimmy Butler and singer Selena Gomez are dating. The Internet is abuzz with rumors that the 31-year-old athlete and the 28-year-old singer are hooking up, according to rumors on Twitter, the Miami Herald and IG account @Deuxmoi.

According to the @Deuxmoi account, a source supposedly overheard that the staff at French bistro Lucien in the East Village were scrambling to accommodate Selena and a bevy of basketball players last month. Turns out, it was just one basketball player in particular, which is Jimmy.

Here are their receipts about their “date”:

Jimmy & Selena have a few things in common. They are both from Texas and they both seemingly have an interest in cooking:

  A source told E! News Selena is currently single and that she’s "keeping her options open but has been on a few dates with Jimmy and thinks he's a great guy." The source revealed "they hung out a few times while Selena was in New York City. Jimmy asked her to go to dinner and they had a great time," but at the moment "it's very casual and she's open to seeing where things go, but isn't settling down just yet."

In an Apple Music’s Beats 1 interview, Selena talked about how everyone in Hollywood pretty much dates the same people.

“Everyone dates everyone. It always seems to be within a little bubble and it’s because it’s safe, right?,” she said.

We've definitely noticed....

  Fans were quick to notice Jimmy’s daughter’s mom/ex Kaitlin Nowak unfollowed Selena on IG. They have been questioning her about it in her IG comments. Oop.

Jimmy and Kaitlin welcomed their one-year-old daughter in 2019. While the NBA was in the Orlando bubble, Kaitlin was seen cheering Jimmy on during his NBA Championship games against the Lakers back in October. So it looks like he's maybe been chillin' with both chicks simultaneously.

Are you here for this coupledom situation…IF they’re actually dating?
