$3 Million Watches and Caviar for the Cat: How Becca Bloom Became the Queen of RichTok
BECCA BLOOM smiles at the camera and tells her followers she's going to serve a breakfast prepared by her private chef. She holds up a lime-green porcelain Versace platter patterned with an explosion of gold leaves and flowers. 'Oscar and I are eating from matching chargers this morning,' she says brightly. As she assembles the food, she lists each ingredient in a soft, soothing voice: sushi-grade salmon sashimi, tuna bone broth, soft-boiled quail eggs, salmon roe caviar, freeze-dried codfish, edible flower garnishes—and a single blueberry. 'So he can play around with it after he's done,' she explains. After all, the spread isn't for the influencer, whose real name is Rebecca Ma, but her cat. The video cuts to Oscar (a Scottish fold, which Ma chose because Taylor Swift has two of them), contentedly licking away at the salmon from a plate sitting atop the decorative Versace dish. His caviar remains untouched.

Taylor Swift Fuels Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga Album Theories With Sneaky Likes
THE RUNDOWN Taylor Swift continued her new The Life of a Showgirl era by dropping a few hints about the direction of her new album—and the two A-list singers who might be connected to the project. Swifties on X noticed that the singer liked a post from a fan who pointed out that Swift announced her album exactly 12 years to the day that Gaga released her song 'Applause' (on Aug. 12, 2013). E! noted the song was also part of Swift's intro playlist during her Eras Tour. Swift also liked a tweet about a possible collaboration with Ariana Grande. A Grande fan account tweeted in Portuguese, 'Everyone knows that there are two people in the world capable of breaking the internet with a feat,' alongside a photo of Grande and Swift. The post appears to have been deleted, but the user kept a screen recording confirming that Swift had liked it. Swift also liked tweets identifying Easter eggs for The Life of a Showgirl in her 'Anti-Hero' music video and 'Bejeweled' music videos: Of course, Swift has only begun to tease what's coming in her 12th album. She's expected to reveal much more later this evening during her appearance on boyfriend Travis Kelce's podcast, New Heights. The episode comes out at 7 P.M. ET.

George R.R. Martin Finally Finishes Writing Sequel To ‘Erin Brockovich'
SANTA FE, NM—Stressing that fans of the franchise were about to be richly rewarded for their patience, author George R.R. Martin announced Tuesday that he had finally finished writing his sequel to the 2000 film Erin Brockovich . 'At long last, the wait is over—my script for Erin Brockovich 2: A Kiss Of Chromium is officially complete!' Martin said in a press statement, adding that the project had stalled as a result of his involvement in other creative ventures, as well as his perfectionism and desire to give the Erin Brockovich character the ending he felt she deserved. 'It took more than a decade of hard work to build out the setting of California enough to make this sequel feel real. But I think fans are ultimately going to be glad I took my time writing it, even the ones who spent years badgering me to hurry up! Now that it's complete, I have plans for a prequel series set 8,000 years before the original Erin Brockovich .' At press time, Martin had reportedly delayed the sequel for rewrites after spoilers about Erin Brockovich's life leaked on her Wikipedia page.
