Reneé Rapp reveals Towa Bird 'topped her' before they started dating
Reneé Rapp is getting candid about her relationship with fellow musician Towa Bird, and her description of how the two lovebirds met is hilarious.
On the Tuesday, May 27 episode of Good Hang with Amy Poehler, the Mean Girls star opened up about why she thought it was 'so hot' that her singer-songwriter girlfriend didn't seem to like her when they met for the first time.
Bird rose to fame on TikTok, so Rapp knew who she was and thought she was 'sexy' long before they ever met in person.
"I just always thought she was so f*cking cool," the 'Too Well' singer told host Amy Poehler.
Rapp asked a close friend to introduce her to the British singer-songwriter even though Bird wasn't ready to meet someone. "I said, 'I couldn't give a f*ck less. I'm not either, but I'm gonna meet her. We need to at least be friends,' Rapp explained.
But when the two finally met, Bird was 'so f*cking mean' to her. Luckily, Rapp was into it.
'She's scary," the talented 25-year-old pop star said. "Well, she's like from the U.K., so, like, her humor is super different. She's also just like, such a bitch.'

Rapp told Bird that she had heard 'so much' about her, but instead of being flattered, the 'Drain Me!' singer responded by asking, 'Why are you talking about me so much then?'
The second time they met, the two lesbians started talking about what cars they drove, and Rapp said that she 'wouldn't have pegged' Bird for someone who owned 'that kind of car.'
Bird cheekily responded, 'Oh, you don't want to peg me?'
Poehler jumped in to say, 'She topped a top,' which Rapp immediately agreed with. 'She literally topped a top. She out flirted me,' she said.
Despite their relationship starting with Bird 'really negging' Rapp, according to Poehler, the 26-year-old guitar player was the first one to say 'I love you.'
While on the beach "high out of our minds,' Bird said the three magical words, but instead of saying them back, Rapp 'didn't say a word' and then asked her girlfriend to repeat herself.
"And she was like, 'Are you f---ing kidding me right now?'" she remembered Bird saying before Rapp said she felt the same.

Elsewhere in the interview, Poehler helped Rapp come up with her drag king name and the results will have you giggling.
When asked what her drag king name would be, Rapp was stumped, but the Parks and Rec alum came in clutch.
'Instead of Timothée Chalamet, you could be called Timothée Chala-Gay.'
'That's it,' Rapp agreed.Watch the full episode below.

Israel's actions in Gaza are genocide, says Ben & Jerry's
The independent board of Ben & Jerry's has claimed that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza in a move that threatens to further inflame tensions with its parent company Unilever. The ice cream brand, known for its outspoken approach to social issues, said: 'We join with those around the world who denounce the genocide in Gaza. 'We stand with all who raise their voices against genocide in Gaza – from petition-signers to street marchers to those risking arrest.' The independent board made the comments in a statement seen by Reuters. Its description of Israel's actions as genocide comes just weeks after one of the brand's co-founders, Ben Cohen, was arrested in the US Senate for protesting against the provision of military aid to Israel during testimony by Robert F Kennedy Jr, the US health secretary. The statement by the independent board threatens to deepen the disagreement between Ben & Jerry's and Unilever. The two sides have been at odds over Israel and Gaza for many months. The ice cream brand sued Unilever in November 2024, claiming that the company had attempted to block it from making public statements about the conflict. The two companies have clashed over Israel before, including in 2021 when Ben & Jerry's stopped selling its ice cream in the occupied West Bank, arguing that doing business there was 'inconsistent' with its values. In response, Unilever sold its Israeli ice cream business, causing a legal battle that was later resolved. Founded by Cohen and Jerry Greenfield in 1978 in Vermont, Ben & Jerry's has repeatedly spoken out on issues such as refugees' rights, LGBTQ+ issues and climate change. Though it has been owned by Unilever since 2000, an agreement was written into its $326m (£241m) acquisition deal to allow the company to continue operating with an independent board. This effectively protected the company's ability to take a stand on social issues. However, Ben & Jerry's has accused its owner of undermining that deal. In March, the brand accused Unilever of ousting Dave Stever, its chief executive, over his outspoken approach to political and social issues, rather than because of performance. Escalating tensions threaten to overshadow the much-anticipated spin-off of Unilever's ice cream arm into a separate business in an effort to streamline and focus on its core business of consumer goods such as Dove soap and Hellmann's mayonnaise. A Unilever spokesman said: 'We took notice of the comments made by members of the social mission board of Ben & Jerry's. 'Unilever supports efforts for a peaceful resolution and the end of violence to conflicts around the world. Unilever is in litigation with the above mentioned board and will not comment on its positions.' Ben & Jerry's and its founders were approached for comment.

Woman Reveals Names Gen Z Thinks Are 'Old-Lady Names'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Picking a baby name is a big decision. So some parents may be dismayed to find out that Gen Z has its own baby-name list—ones they think sound like "old lady names." In a TikTok, creator Kelley Cole explains which names made it onto the "old" list, and the results might surprise you. Why It Matters Baby-naming trends can often reflect broader cultural shifts and social values. The Social Security Administration (SSA) recently released its list of the most used baby names in the United States for 2024, with Olivia and Liam maintaining their reign as America's top choices for the sixth consecutive year. Newcomers on the list included Truce and Colsen for boys, and Ailany and Marjorie for girls. A doll in front of two notes with speech bubbles containing the names Marie and Elias.

Frank Rumpenhorst/picture-alliance/dpa/AP Images What To Know "I was told my name was an old lady name by the teenagers on the adolescent unit I was working on a few months ago," Cole says in the video that has been viewed more than 350,000 times. "I was surprised." Cole goes on to explain that teens shared with her what names are "old lady names" versus "young names." The list of names that the teens said were "old lady names": Ashley, Amanda, Jessica, Stephanie, Jennifer, Christie, Tracy, Stacey, Amy, Crystal, Kelly, Lisa, Jordan, Michelle, Shelly, Laura, Laurie, Kathy, Tammy, Heather, Angela and Angie. The "young girl names" were Bella, Isabelle, Olivia, Olive, Ava, Eden, Abigail and Abbie, Ella, Gracie, Zoe and Rose. And it's not the first time that so-called "old lady" names have sparked a debate between generations on TikTok. In 2024, a creator named Amber posted a video on the topic that went viral, receiving 4.3 million views as of reporting. "The other day my daughter told me the name Ashley or Amanda, or my name is Amber, are like old-people names," she says in the video. "I never thought about it this way, but she's like yeah my teachers' names are like Miss Erica, Miss Samantha, there's Amandas and Ashleys—those are just old-people names." Amber went on to list some of the young names her daughter had highlighted, including Scarlet, Charlotte, Olivia, Penelope, Isabella, Bella and Ella. Though the two videos were posted more than a year apart, there is overlap in what the group of young people told Cole, and what Amber's daughter told her, were old- and young-people's names. What People Are Saying Kelley Cole, in her TikTok video, after listing the "young-girl names": "Who's gonna tell these girls that those were our grandmas' names. Those are the old-lady names, not Kelley." What Happens Next Cole's remarks about the "young names" being "grandma names" taps into a key naming trend. There is a theory around names called the 100-year rule, where names cycle in and out of a fashion and it takes a century for the cycle to complete. In practice, this means names that were common for the grandparents or great-grandparents of Gen Z could be about to come back. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for their parents' names, but they may well come back around for future generations.
