Each week we take a look at what was trending on Twitter and provide some deep and meaningful insight. Or we just bitch about it.
November 10th-November 16th
- Selena and Justin
When: 11/11
Why: Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber end their young love affair
Shir: Like I said in #ICYMI, I’m actually pretty upset about this. I’m not a huge Justin Bieber or Selena Gomez fan, but for some reason I felt pretty affected by this. E! News has not made it any easier for me to get over this breakup, either, considering it is all they effing talk about (and that is obvi my main source of news).
Kara: You know what, I kind of liked them together. Oh well. By and large the most entertaining part of this was the reactions of Justin’s army of Bieblers on Twitter. Emotions ranged from elation, to sadness, to the usual delusional that is rampant among this crowd. Check out some of my tweets from that day if you’re into laughing at tweens.
- Elmo
When: 11/13
Why: Kevin Clash, the voice of Elmo, is accused of sexual misconduct which was later recanted by the accuser
Shir: Again, just some heart breaking news. Have you guys seen the documentary Being Elmo? It’s about this guy Kevin Clash (the one being accused of doing some bad things) and his life and it is so touching (no pun intended). Seriously though, stuff like this sucks.
Kara: Damn, Elmo too? IS NOTHING SACRED ANYMORE PEOPLE?
- Channing Tatum
When: 11/14
Why: Channing Tatum is revealed as People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive
Shir: DUHHHHHHH. P.S. to everyone I’m physically in Tampa right now and I have been thinking about Channing Tatum in Magic Mike since the second I landed. What are YOU doing to celebrate his new title of Sexiest Man Alive?
Kara: What lesson do we takeaway from this boys and girls?: It always pays to play a stripper.
- Nobody’s Business
When: 11/15
Why: Rihanna’s new collabo with Chris Brown leaks
Shir: When will people stop being surprised by what Rihanna does? It needs to be soon because we all know pretty damn well she doesn’t give a fuck what you think so it doesn’t matter if you are upset by her collab with Chris Brown. Get over it.
Kara: My biggest concern here is that younger fans will hear this and not realize that it’s a blindingly obvious homage/ripoff of Michael Jackson. Those little twerps are actually going to think that they came up with the line “Ain’t nobody’s business but mine and my baby.” Look, we all know I love RiRi but come on. I just can’t allow Chris Brown to taint MJ’s legacy like this.
- Hostess
When: 11/16
Why: Hostess announces that it will close
Shir: I have a feeling a lot of overweight Americans are finally starting to believe the world may actually end this year…
Kara: Well Yodel my Ring Ding Ho Ho and slap me with a Ding Dong Sno Ball.
