1. Ayo Edebiri and Paul Mescal spark dating rumors

Ayo Edebiri and Paul Mescal have sparked dating rumors after sharing a photo of themselves together over the weekend. Edebiri posted the image on her Instagram Story on Sunday—which was St. Patrick’s Day—writing “Happy St Paddy’s” over it. The image sees the pair sitting on a staircase, and Edebiri smiling widely with her eyes closed while embracing Mescal with one arm. He, in turn, smiles directly at the camera with one hand resting on her lap.

Fans on social media immediately began speculating that the photo may have been the actors soft-launching their relationship. Still, the two have not commented on the rumors, and it’s just as likely they’re simply good friends. 

Last March, they were pictured together at the 2023 Film Independent Spirit Awards. In October, they were photographed at a party together with friends. In November, Mescal said in an interview with Awards Watch that he’d love to do “a rom-com with Ayo.” And this February, the pair were seen catching up at the BAFTA Awards in London.

2. Static noise from Taylor Swift’s new album is No. 1 on iTunes

An eight-second video from Taylor Swift’s upcoming “The Tortured Poets Department” album that has no sound skyrocketed to the top of the iTunes Top Videos chart on March 18. While the video, titled “All’s Fair in Love and Poetry,” itself didn’t have any vocals, it did include a backdrop with a description that Taylor revealed in February when she announced the upcoming album, which hints at its vibe.

“And so I enter into evidence,” the blurb reads. “My tarnished coat of arms / My muses, acquired like bruises / My talismans and charms / The tick, tick, tick of love bombs / My veins of pitch-black ink / All’s fair in love and poetry…/ Sincerely, the Chairman of the Tortured Poets Department.”

This feat accomplished by the star did not go unnoticed by fans, as one joked on X, formerly Twitter, “My favorite thing about Swifties is we can make static noise go number 1 like it’s nobody’s business.” Along with the technical mishap, fans of the singer also noticed that her upcoming album, out April 19, is now available to pre-save on Apple Music. As one fan quipped, “My first agenda this morning: pre-adding.”

4. Oprah Winfrey reveals why she really left WeightWatchers

Oprah Winfrey has opened up about her decision to leave the WeightWatchers board. The media mogul, 70, appeared on a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, where she revealed that she resigned from her position on the board of WeightWatchers, after nearly a decade, due to her upcoming special about prescription weight loss medications.

“I decided that, because this special was really important to me and I wanted to be able to talk about whatever I want to talk about, and WeightWatchers is now in the business of being a weight health company that also administers drug medications for weight,” Winfrey said. “I did not want to have the appearance of any conflict of interest.”

The TV special, titled ​​“An Oprah Special: Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution”, aired on March 18 on ABC. Following her departure from the board, she donated all of her shares in the company to the National Museum of African American History and Culture. “So, nobody can say: ‘Oh, she’s doing that special. She’s making money and promoting.’ No. You cannot say that,” Winfrey added. When asked by Kimmel whether WeightWatchers cried when she announced her resignation, the film producer quipped: “They almost did.”

5. Iga Świątek wins second Indian Wells title 

World No. 1, Iga Świątek brushed aside Maria Sakkari in straight sets to earn the second Indian Wells title of her career, beating the ninth seed 6-4 6-0 in Sunday’s final. The Polish superstar didn’t drop a set during the tournament and lost just 21 games en route to her second WTA 1000 title of the year after winning February’s Qatar Open.

Świątek, who was stunned by Linda Noskova in the Australian Open third round, has now won her last six WTA finals to extend her career record to 19-4. “I’m really proud of myself,” Świątek said, per the WTA. “I’m super happy. I mean, even though this tournament looked like, the scores, maybe I had everything under control, it wasn’t from the beginning to the end so easy. So I’m happy I could improve during the tournament. I felt really good on the last two matches, big amount of confidence.”

Still only 22 years old, Świątek has already won four grand slam titles and eight WTA 1000 titles.
