Memorabilia: Picture It
Have you ever wanted to own a piece of Golden Girls history? Now you can. Julien’s Auctions is offering one of the show’s most iconic props: Sophia’s purse. Estelle Getty originally bought the purse for her audition, and it appeared in nearly every episode of the NBC sitcom, becoming central to the character and the show’s legacy. First auctioned in 2009 with Getty’s estate for $9,150, the purse is up for bid at Julien’s until August 12.
Celebrity: The Buck Stops Here
In 2002, Rosie O’Donnell was offered $100 million to extend her popular talk show but turned it down. Why, you ask? “I was like, ‘Because I already have that money,’” she told Page Six exclusively. “And if I think I need more, something’s wrong with me.” The comedian went on to make waves on ABC’s The View and is currently doing a limited off-Broadway run of her one-woman show Common Knowledge.
Music: So Yesterday
For millennials who grew up with Hilary Duff, this is what dreams are made of. The actor and singer—who for years distanced herself from her Disney childhood stardom’s music and Lizzie McGuire character—is leaning into her younger era. Duff’s Lucky Me tour is officially promoting her new album luck…or something, but fans are showing up to relive their childhood memories.
Records: Bald Ambition
Pitbull set a Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people wearing bald caps when 22,141 fans came together during his performance at the British Summer Time festival in London on July 10. Fans often dress up like the Miami-born singer, donning bald caps and sunglasses, earning them the nickname “Bald-Es.” Mr. Worldwide himself thanked those who showed up, saying without them, there would be “no Pitbull, no movement, no revolution.”
Sports: Victory Lap
The ESPYs, aka the Oscars for sports, made it official: Everyone is still riding high on the New York Knicks after their NBA championship win, the team’s first title in 53 years. With Karl-Anthony Towns and co named Best Team at the ESPN awards show, it’s the cherry on top of a stellar year for a fanbase that has waited (and suffered) long enough. Here’s hoping they don’t make us wait another half century for a season like this one.
