After escorting Kim Kardashian to the Met Gala dressed as President John F. Kennedy, I was convinced that nothing Pete Davidson could do would shock me. Then I heard rumors about him and Emily Ratajkowski, and shocked I most certainly was. Not that I’m mad about it. Actually, in the photos that just surfaced of the model-comedian duo courtside at Madison Square Garden for a New York Knicks game this weekend, they looked good together. Like, really good.
After a lengthy battle with Namor (Tenoch Huerta), the fine ass villain who wages war against Wakanda when Princess Shuri (Letitia Wright) refuses to join forces to “burn the world,” Queen Ramonda is killed as she sacrifices her life for RiRi Williams (aka Iron Heart, played by Dominique Thorne). She’s a teen science prodigy whose vibranium-adjacent inventions land her in hot water with Namor and the people of Talokan, an underwater city, who are desperate to preserve their way of life. Wakanda vows to protect RiRi and Queen Ramonda’s death is the price they pay for that commitment — well, according to Namor. Ask any of the many angry fans on Twitter (bad Wakanda Forever takes may be the social media platform’s last hurrah) and they’ll say that the queen’s death was unnecessary, uncalled for and downright cruel. As someone who was hyperventilating crying in the theatre before Queen Ramonda’s death and who yelled “NO!” through sobs so loud I got shushed when she died, I will put aside my emotions for a second to say that it was absolutely the right choice and it was not only necessary, it was essential to the story being told by director Ryan Coogler.
Most weekends will leave you with a good case of the Sunday scaries as you bid adieu to two days of relaxation and revelry to confront the workweek. However, tomorrow is no ordinary Monday; it’s the Monday after Black Friday.

We know you might be feeling a bit, um, shopworn after a week’s worth of deal-scrolling — especially after the extra-fertile crop of Black Friday sales that we’ve seen this year. So we’ve created a TV Guide of sorts to the best Cyber week deals and promo codes that are worth one last click. The most need-to-know markdowns are just ahead, featuring sales from top-shopped brands. And, if you’ve got the brain space for more deals, you’ll score big on everything from mattresses to fashion, beauty, wellness, sex toys, home decor, gifts, and more. We also highlighted the best discount goods from reader-favorite retailers like Nordstrom, Walmart, and Amazon for your browsing pleasure.
If we’d told you a couple of years ago that knee-length skirts were going to be cool again soon, you might’ve questioned our authority. Perhaps we should’ve because here we are. This has, undoubtedly, been the year of the skirt, with maxi and miniskirts dominating our attention and the stock at practically every retailer. Now, it’s the ’90s-inspired knee skirt’s turn.
