Is Jennifer Garner Engaged?

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson were spotted out together yet again, this time at a NYC private club. I have no idea what’s going on with these two, but if we know about this, it’s because she wants us to know about this.

-Meanwhile, this piece on Pete Davidson being a rare straight male muse is fascinating. “Davidson has carved out a niche for himself as a master of the fleeting engagement: the person you meet on an app, see for a few months, then part ways with as though you’d never met. His flings resemble the sorts of ephemeral attachments that many of his fans are likely most familiar with. More common than love, quite possibly a waste of time, with the potential to be much more destructive, but hard to avoid, if you don’t want to be alone.”

Cardi B and Kal Penn‘s twitter exchange about her officiating his wedding is hella cute.
