Bougie on a budget: Conrad Spa's sneaky good deal
Welcome to Bougie on a Budget, an occasional feature in which we try to have fancy Indy experiences without breaking the bank.
I'm sharing a secret I learned a few months ago for having a very bougie day on a (relatively) affordable budget.
Where we're doing: Spa day — bougie, I know.
Where we're going: The Conrad. One of downtown's most expensive hotels probably isn't the first place you think of for a budget experience, but their spa is a sneaky good deal.
Book any treatment and you get access to the pool, hot tub, dry sauna, steam room and relaxation room for the day — before and after your appointment.
You can even order lunch to be delivered poolside while you hang out in the provided hotel robes and slippers.
💭 My thought bubble: I did this with a group for a friend's birthday a few months ago, and it was absolutely worth it.
While the treatment prices are on the high end — massages and facials start at $185, manis and pedis start at $75 — the experience is wonderful and you're absolutely getting way more bang for your buck than anywhere else if you plan well and make a day of it.

Ben Stiller, Timothée Chalamet, And Spike Lee Were Mercilessly Mocked At A Knicks Game, And Now Ben's Called Out The 'Weird' Behavior
Hollywood stars have been showing out for the New York Knicks games over the past few weeks, but it's safe to say that no one on celebrity row has been doing it quite like Ben Stiller, Timothée Chalamet, and Spike Lee. At least one of the trio of native New Yorkers has been present at nearly every game of the Knicks' run to the Eastern Conference finals, bringing with them next-level enthusiasm, great fits, and occasionally some super famous friends (Kendall and Kylie Jenner, I'm talking about you). And while most fans appear to be loving the dedication, it seems Ben, Timothée, and Spike weren't made to feel so welcome when they visited Indianapolis earlier this week to watch the Knicks take on the Indiana Pacers in front of their home crowd. Related: Sophie Turner Opened Up About Her "Incredibly Sad" Split From Joe Jonas At the beginning of the game, sports pundit and Pacers fan Pat McAfee took a moment to do some trash-talking, taking aim at the 'bigwigs from the big city' sitting courtside. Hyping up the home crowd, he yelled into the mic: 'Spike Lee is here. Ben Stiller is here. Timothée Chalamet is here. Let's send these sons of bitches back to New York with their ears bleeding!' As you'd probably imagine, each name was met with increasingly intense boos from the Indiana crowd. While we all love a bit of playful trash-talk in sports, this felt a little mean-spirited — and it seems Ben agrees. Related: 28 Celebs Who Never Seem To Get Canceled Despite Some Pretty Awful Behavior Responding to a video of the moment on X, Ben replied: 'Yes. Weird. We were happy to be there and cheer our team and other than that Indy fans were awesome,' adding in another response: 'No bitterness at all Indy fans were amazing good win for you guys.' Replying to another fan who said that Pat's moment 'pissed [them] off so much,' Ben further explained his confusion, also emphasizing that he still had a great time. 'He must be playing around - if it's an actual point of view it seems a little anachronistic or cliche?' he wrote of Pat. 'Like we are 'big city celebs' and we shouldn't be there in the heartland? 😂Again, everyone we met was awesome and incredibly cool.' Before long, Pat caught on to criticism from people calling him 'classless' and spoke out to set the record straight. 'These guys are all front row, they're a part of the show,' he said on his show on May 28, admitting that 'sons of bitches' was perhaps not the best term he could've picked. 'I would like to let them all know, mad respect for coming out. Mad respect for the amount of support they're showing the Knicks. All love.' And for what it's worth, Ben cleared the air from his side, too, suggesting that Pat ought to come to Game 5 at Madison Square Garden later today. All's well that ends well, but let's just see who takes the W tonight… More on this This Is What Happened To Kendall Jenner Moments Before The Knicks Game With Kylie Jenner And Timothée ChalametMychal Thompson · May 15, 2025 Fans Are Apparently Getting Ben Stiller And Adam Sandler Confused, And I'm ConfusedMychal Thompson · Nov. 30, 2024 Timothée Chalamet Was Asked About Kylie Jenner, And I'm Impressed With How He Handled ItChelsea Stewart · Jan. 4, 2025 Also in Celebrity: "I Can't Emphasize Enough How Filthy Some Of These People Are": 39 Hollywood Secrets People Have Learned From Working With Celebs Also in Celebrity: If You Think You're Smarter Than The Average Celebrity, Prove It By Correctly Answering These Questions They Got Wrong On "Jeopardy" Also in Celebrity: 12 Celebs Who Came Out At A Young Age, And 13 Who Came Out Way Later In Life

‘Back at it in Miami!' The dress Danica Patrick wore to cover F1 divides the Internet
News 'Back at it in Miami!' The dress Danica Patrick wore to cover F1 divides the Internet Danica Patrick at the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series/Miami Herald file Orlando Sentinel What do you wear to cover the Miami Grand Prix? Danica Patrick went for cute and comfortable for Sunday's race, opting for a pair of white sneakers and a white minidress. Imagine the former IndyCar Series driver's surprise when she shared a picture of herself working at the Miami International Autodrome, then got backlash in the comments. Alongside the snap of herself, Patrick wrote, 'Back at it in Miami with @skysportsf1!' While a good chunk of her fans were complimentary (e.g., 'Total goddess!'), a few people couldn't help but opine. Their issue was with the 43-year-old's one-shouldered number. A couple of trolls wrote Patrick looked like she was headed to a toga party. A few others said the dress resembled a bed sheet. One social media user had enough time on his/her hands to analyze the slinky meets sleek get-up: 'I love Danica clear back to her Indy days,' wrote the keyboard warrior meets fashion critic. 'She is a beautiful, motivated woman. But this dress looks like her luggage missed the plane and she had to use a hotel towel. Bad is bad.' There was at least one adult in the room: 'Don't look if you don't like. If one has nothing pleasant to comment, then keep the trap shut.' Patrick didn't tag the designer, nor did she respond to her haters. Seems she owned the dress, and hopefully even swapped out the sneaks for heels and rocked it at the club later.
