Pop Culture Fridays!
Okay y’all, I’ve calmed down (mostly) from the excitement of the Oscars. One thing I failed to mention in Tuesday’s newsletter, and would like to call attention to, is that RUTH CARTER is the first Black woman to win two Oscars. She won Best Costume Design for both Black Panther and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
Elsewhere, Pete Davidson has moved on to dating Chase Sui Wonders, an actress/model who could recently be seen in Bodies Bodies Bodies. She is also the niece of Chinese-American fashion designer Anna Sui. I continue to be baffled by Petey boy’s seeming magnetism and demand an explanation from the universe, which I know I will not receive.
And now, here are your questions:
1. What controversial country singer beat Drake and Taylor Swift by setting a single-week record for most songs on the Billboard charts? His song “Last Night” currently sits at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
2. What is the title of Chris Rock’s new stand-up special, in which he takes aim at the incident between him and Will Smith at last year’s Oscars?
3. What is the subtitle to the sequel to Shazam!, out in theaters this weekend?
4. What Philadelphia rapper is a bit of a Tik Tok sensation? Two of his tracks, “BILLIE EILISH” and “GOATED,” have become the source of popular viral dances.
5. The youth are once again up to no good. A viral drinking challenge known as BORG has swept college campuses. What does BORG stand for?
