Disney CEOs, AMAs, & Heartbreak š
ā An earthquake in Indonesia, & the Holivia break up ā¤ļøāš©¹
Not a hot take at ALL but how the hell is it the 22nd of November already?? Wtf?? Not much is new with me, except Iām sleeping ALL the time lately (I even dreamt about Matty Healy yesterday which means my obsesh has reached THAT level.) Speaking of Matty Healy, congrats to the angels who won the tickets to The 1975!!! We had HUNDREDS of responses and it is so nice to see how many 1975 stans weāve got in here - we wish we could have given tickets to you all š„ŗš„ŗ
I also started watching The Bear last night and so far itās really fucking good (ik, Iām late to the party on this one too) but it is NOT a chill watch, espesh for anyone whoās ever spent any amount of time working in hospo. Iāve only ever worked with the most douchebag chefs you could imagine, so depending on how this show pans out (no pun intended) maybe my perception will change on that?
I need your ā¤ļøāš©¹hearbreakš stories!!

An earthquake in Java, Indonesia kills 162 and injures hundreds
A 5.6 magnitude quake has struck Cianjur town in West Java (the main island in Indonesia) killing 162 people and injuring hundreds more. The quake struck in a densely populated area, with many people thought still to be trapped in the rubble. More on this story here.
Harry and Oliviaā¦ are on a break?
I was meant to write about this yesterday but I #forgot so youāre getting it today! Now obviously (and much to my dismay) I know neither Harry or Olivia, so I cannot confirm this, but People Magazine kinda have? They reported that the two are ātaking a breakā from their relationship after nearly two years together (confirmed by āmultiple sourcesā). There isnāt much more out there atm, and itās actually not any of my business so Iāll leave it there!
Sydney school students injured after science experiment goes wrong
Yesterday in Sydney, āan experiment involving sodium bicarbonate and methylated spirits was reportedly affected by a gust of windā sending 11 students and one teacher to hospital.
The students were in Year 5, and were conducting the āblack snakeā or āsugar snakeā experiment, when a gust of wind sent it off course. Two students are said to have sustained serious burns to their face and chest, while the others were just treated for minor injuries. This is what the experiment was meant to do:
Bob Iger named Disney CEO again, replacing Bob Chapek, in a shock to Hollywood
Guess whoās back, back, backā¦ back again. Bob Iger is coming BACK to Disney to be their CEO in a shock return. Bob Chapek (apparently to be CEO you have to be called Bob) replaced Iger in 2020 (after Iger worked there for nearly 50 years) but will now be stepping down immediately. People seem to be pumped about this (and shocked too) as Disney shares were up 9% after the announcement.
And it makes sense! Iger was kind of a legend:
Iger has an almost mythical status as the leader of Disney (DIS). He spent 15 years as CEO and was instrumental in acquiring major brands like Pixar, Marvel and Lucasfilm, the home to Star Wars. Iger also closed the $71 billion deal to buy most of 21st Century Fox and kicked off the streaming revolution at Disney (DIS) with the creation of Disney (DIS)+ in November 2019.
Iger has agreed to be CEO for two years while helping the board find a new successor, and is coming out of retirement to do so!!
AMAs results!!
The American Music Awards were yesterday and Ms Taylor Swift CLEANED up by taking home all six of the awards she was nominated for (three of them were for her work on Red which makes me incredibly happy.) Harry Styles (of course) won favourite male pop artist, AND fave pop song for āAs It Wasā and you can see all the rest of the results here!!

The Bear is so good! I loved that everyone was just regular looking.
Just finished The Bear myself! Truly a great watch and the show deserves all the hype it got. I need those "Original Beef of Chicagoland" shirts to be released for sale tho! I'd buy a pack of like 3 colors lol
