MARLOWE DOBBE

MONDAY, MARCH 19

Dearest darling dears: Welcome back to One Day at a Time, where you can always find the latest news about Ben Affleckโ€™s massive back tattoo depicting a phoenix rising from the ashes! (Cโ€™mon, rich white men! DO BETTER.) As you undoubtedly recall, Benny has previously denied the existence of his back tat, telling Extra in 2016 that the body art was โ€œfake, for a movie.โ€ Welp, thatโ€™s some temporary tattooโ€”because a photog recently snapped shirtless Ben in Hawaii, and the phoenix was still there! (Apparently โ€œrising from the ashesโ€ takes a smidge longer than expected.) MEANWHILE… Today we learned the unsettling news that Cambridge Analytica, a digital company hired by Trumpโ€™s campaign, reportedly stole 50 million Facebook usersโ€™ personal information in order to influence the 2016 election (all under the watchful eye of pineapple-faced evildoer Steve Bannon). Weirdly, people werenโ€™t happy about that: Facebookโ€™s stock nosedived, and the company suffered a $50 billion loss in market value. By Wednesday, the #DeleteFacebook hashtag took hold on Twitter, and untold numbers of users deleted their Facebook accounts… including our fave celeb Cher, who said she was doing so out of โ€œlove for my country.โ€ However, at least one person is refusing to get rid of Facebook: Hubby Kip, who claims that deleting his account would โ€œirreparably harm those who have come to expect daily photos of my lunch (usually a bologna sandwich and Cheetos) or selfies with my life-size cardboard cutout of Worf, son of Mogh and Lieutenant Commander of the USS Enterprise.โ€ #DeleteHubbyKip
