Roy Kent really is everywhere
Brett Goldstein, who plays the grumpy and loveable Roy Kent on the hit show Ted Lasso, made his way to Sesame Street.
There he met the equally grumpy and lovely Oscar the Grouch. The Grouch held up a sign telling Goldstein to “scram” and the two exchanged some growls.
@sesamestreet For a second there we thought Oscar had met his match! #BrettGoldstein #OscartheGrouch #SesameStreet
Blake Lively dishes out relationship advice
While meeting fans at a Wrexham football game, Blake Lively, whose husband owns the club, was asked to say “hi” to a fan’s girlfriend.
She did, and then she told the girlfriend, Stephanie, to leave the man, covering her mouth in shock at what had just come out of her mouth.
Don’t worry though, apparently, Stephanie was very happy with Lively’s response.

Element flattening
In a very satisfying video, Engineered Labs rated how well elements flattened.
There were some surprises, a few let downs and a few perfect scores, but it left people wanting more and requesting more elements to be flattened.

She’s the Crown Princess of Denmark, but it doesn’t mean her kids won’t poke fun at her.
Princess Mary’s children said her Australian accent sometimes results in her pronouncing words a little funny.
