On our Friday afternoon Zoom, Dylan Efron is giving Totally Normal, Chill Dude with his dark gray plaid button-down and signature warm smile. But this easygoing chap is the same man who, not too long ago, strategized his way to the Traitors finale and performed a steamy Paso Doble on Dancing with the Stars. Plus, he happens to share DNA with the man who sexually awakened me when I was six. No big deal.

Lisa Kudrow is back, baby — and so is Valerie Cherish, Hollywood’s most painfully relatable trainwreck. After nearly 12 years (!!) since season 2, The Comeback returns for its third and final season, and Kudrow is right in the thick of it, co-writing all eight episodes.

Because we hope you spent your weekend not caring about anything other than what time happy hour starts, we’re bringing you our Pop Culture Roundup. Your one and only stop for the top five pop culture moments from this weekend that will get you through your mid-day Monday slump. It’s like cold brew for the soul.

As much as I love New York, when August rolls around, I look for any possible excuse to escape the city’s sweltering heat. So when I got the chance to head to Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City to try their new Girl Dinner experience, I had my weekender bag packed before I even requested PTO. Lol, oops. This summer, their steak house is offering their version of Girl Dinner — the “Tini Meal,” which includes a dirty martini, caesar salad, and truffle fries (WAFFLE CUT!!) for $49 at the bar.

Ellie Goulding once said, “Anything Can Happen.” And she knew what she was talking about. Just a decade ago, Charli XCX was playing at gay clubs, Sabrina Carpenter was singing about twiddling her thumbs and whatever else that song is about, and Zara Larsson was enjoying a quick burst of global success before years of being criminally overlooked.

I can’t pinpoint exactly when Survivor went off the rails — and I say that as someone still yelling at my TV like this show didn’t shape my personality. Was it when they ran out of theme concepts and greenlit a season called “Heroes Vs. Healers Vs. Hustlers?” Was it when they started solely casting crybaby dweebs who sleep in Survivor sheets, eliminating any compelling conflict or rootable personalities?

Bachelorette parties seem to be getting out of hand. From theme outfits for every activity on the jam-packed itinerary to brides expecting their ten closest friends to have the time and budget to join them across the world for a week. So, it’s no surprise some brides end up being disappointed their big weekend didn’t live up to their vision. You know what they say: if you want something done right, do it yourself.

Day trader, fisherman, soccer player, soccer coach, Tim Howard hater, New Zealand citizen, casino dealer… These are all terms that allegedly describe season 10 Love is Blind villain Alex Henderson. Or is his name Alex Ferrell? After scrolling my way into Alex Tok (a dark place), I am thoroughly bamboozled. It pains me to quote Ashley Carpenter’s Trumpie dad in a complimentary way, but he did kind of eat with: “I don’t think honesty is his strength.” I don’t think so either, Paul.
