-She may be feuding with Sarah Jessica Parker, but Kim Cattrall still has (kind of?) nice words for at least one of her former SATC costars. She tweeted her support for Cynthia Nixon’s New York Governor bid. It wasn’t the most glowing endorsement, but still…

-The Shia Labeouf comeback tour is upon us.

I really hope this tweet is Gillian Anderson’s response to the news that they plan to continue The X Files without her. Or the reaction to the season finale which I haven’t watch yet, but according to the outrage on Twitter, did her character dirty. Whatever it’s about, it’s expert shade.

Gwendoline Christie and John Boyega Face Their Fears

-Could The Last Jedi press tour be any more charming? Here’s the cast taking the “Which Star Wars Character From The New Trilogy Are You?” Buzzfeed quiz. Buzzfeed also had Oscar Isaac and John Boyega read thirst tweets about themselves. And my favourite:  Gwendoline Christie and Boyega sticking their hands in a creepy box.  “Is it a crab?! Is it a CRAB?!”

-While we’re all buying canned goods and prepping our makeshift bunkers for the end of times, Taylor Swift is reflecting on how awesome 2017 was. You do you, girl.

-On the flip side, this is, without a doubt, the best Twitter thread to ever exist.
