Josh Duhamel, Fergie’s ex-husband, thought Draymond Green should apologize for snickering during Black Eyed Pea’s meme-ified butchering of “The Star Spangled Banner.”

Green and the Golden State Warriors pretty much did the exact opposite of that by throwing a post-game party set to DJ Suede’s remix of the terrible national anthem rendition following their 128-100 win over the Knicks on Friday. 

A quick recap: Fergie’s aforementioned performance before the most recent NBA All-Star Game went viral for all the wrong reasons back in February. Watch it below if you must: 

Note that Green fails to keep a straight face while he’s on camera. 

Cut to Duhamel’s Thursday interview with Fair Game host Kristine Leahy. 

“The thing that made me upset was that she was taking a lot of really cruel comments, people were really trolling,” Duhamel said before calling Green a “prick” and questioning his manhood. 

“I was pissed off at Draymond Green, first of all. I think he owed her an apology. I thought he was kind of a prick. Just because he knew the camera was on him, and he snickered about.”

“I just thought that, if he would have been a real man, he would have at least called her and said, ‘Listen, I’m sorry that I caused all this,'” he added. “That’s what a real man would have done, in my opinion.”

But when Duhamel saw the Warriors’ epic response to his comments, even he had to admit that it was fantastic. 

“Note to self: Think twice before you call out the champs,” Duhamel tweeted. “Well played.” 

Indeed. 

Surely you’ve heard of the insanely decadent lives of “Rich Russian Kids” (RRK), and how they love to flaunt their wealth (and surgically enhanced butts) on Instagram by posing with their cars, yachts, butts, and other expensive playthings.

But now, there’s a new way these wealthy millennials are showing off how rich they are: The “Falling Stars Challenge.”

As the name vaguely implies, the challenge showcases rich people pretending to fall out of their expensive vehicles, such as cars, private jets, and yachts, and some choose to “accidentally” spill the contents of their designer purses on the ground.

Ah, yes. Just yesterday I, too, casually fell out my personal helicopter and dropped my million dollars in cash and someone took a perfectly timed picture of it…said no one ever.

This absurdly ostentatious Instagram trend first started in Russia in August, but couldn’t be contained to just one country, and now is spreading like wildfire across the globe.

However, this trend is particularly famous in China, and has basically taken over the Chinese social media site Weibo, where the massive country’s wealthiest individuals just cannot stop posting these flamboyant pictures.

The challenge is trending on the site with the Chinese hashtag #炫富假摔, which translates to “show off fake fall,” and has over one million messages and 2.3 billion views.  

Not surprisingly, though, the “Falling Stars” meme became famous with commoners, too, and people took the opportunity to create their own humble versions of their ultra wealthy counterparts.

Maybe it’s just me, but seeing an item on everyone in my Instagram feed typically deters me from buying it a little—no matter how covetable the item in question may be. Such was the case with the Insta-famous Christy dress from It-girl brand Réalisation. Since its launch in 2015, this dress has been worn in solid and printed versions by everyone and their mom, literally. I’ll admit it was love at first sight for me too, but seeing it blow up on social media so fast made me second-guess hitting that “Place Order” button.

Fast-forward many months, and after seeing its cool square neckline and flattering shape worn by so many dream girls, I finally succumbed to my desires and ordered the tiny dress for myself. Well, let me tell you: My only regret is that I waited so long to do so. There aren’t enough words in the English language to convey how perfect the fit of this dress is—it’s 100% worth the hype. It also currently comes in six colors and checks out under $200, just saying.

The same day it arrived, I wore the ’90s-style dress with an oversize black denim jacket and ankle boots for date night. Then, the next evening, I swapped out my black denim jacket for a vintage blue one and my ankle boots with sneakers for dinner with friends. Fast-forward two days later, and I pulled a black sweater over it, slipped on some sandals, and headed to brunch. Moral of the story: It’s quickly become the MVP of my wardrobe, and I have to actively decide to wear something else. In fact, I ended up ordering it in white as well to double the outfit options I have and (hopefully!) fool people into thinking I’m not wearing the same thing every day—not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Let’s be real. Cult items become cult items for a reason. Whether it be the perfectly fitted white tee, the hugs-in-all-the-right-places pair of jeans, or the give-you-legs-for-days heels, certain items end up in the closets of every fashion girl because they’re that good. Case in point: this dress. If you’re still thinking how a dress can seriously be this life-changing, keep scrolling to see how I and Réalisation’s coolest dreamgirls style ours. If owning the Christy dress everyone has is wrong, then I don’t want to be right.

Loving Réalisation as much as I am? Here are eight more ways to style its latest It pieces.

Hi, hello! Dispatching to you from New York City, I’m here to share everything I just added to my (teeny-tiny West Village) closet. If you’re not familiar with the weather situation that’s been going down over here as of late, the temperature has been comically unpredictable. One day it may be 80 degrees, and the next we’re talking low 40s. To paraphrase, there’s a decent—nay, likely—chance New Yorkers won’t experience a real, true fall this year, which, although disappointing, also seems to be a reoccurring theme here. While we watch this confused weather conundrum unfold, why not allow me to open my metaphorical wardrobe doors and show you around?

Over the last couple of months, I’ve strategically been adding pieces to my closet that are a mix of staples and style-forward separates. My personal vibe is pretty pared down (no zebra prints or cowboy boots over here, unfortunately), so much of what you’ll find below, you can likely incorporate into your own wardrobe no matter your personal style, be it adventurous or subdued. Also, I’m a freelance writer, so much of what I invest in has to translate to a gamut of situations—dinners; coffee with clients; the occasional party; and the less glamorous, more frequent scenario: working from the library. Or coffee shop, depending on my mood. Whatever the case, scroll down to see and shop my 24 NYC fashion picks of the moment.

Looking ahead: your essential 2019 shopping list.
