Holy airball! Have the nepo babies found another way to put everyone's backs up?
Name: Wealth bragging. Age: There's Buddhist scripture warning against it, so let's assume pretty old. Appearance: Evolving. Don't worry, I'm very up to date on this. It's all about stealth wealth these days, right? You mean subtle demonstrations of wealth that deliberately make a point of not looking obnoxious? Yes, that's exactly it. Ha ha ha. No. What has it changed to? Are you familiar with the 'holy airball' trend? I'm an adult with real-world responsibilities, so of course I'm not. OK, so the TikTok kids are saying 'Holy airball' whenever someone underestimates them. For example, the professional swimmer Alexia Sotomayor posted a video that said 'told him i'm a swimmer, he said 'i used to swim in the summer, i can probably beat you''. Then there was a clip of her preparing for the world championship, and the word 'Holyfrickenairball'. Oh, gross. Yes, it's a wildly ostentatious boast. But now the nepo babies are doing it. Give me an example. Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe's daughter, Ava, just posted a TikTok that read: 'I told him my mum's a lawyer, and he said, 'Oh what firm does she work at?'' The holy airball moment here was a photo of her mother in Legally Blonde. Any others? Martin Scorsese's daughter, Francesca, got in on the act ('I told him my dad is a film-maker. He said 'Oh nice, for like commercials or something?'' ) and Akon's daughter, Alianna ('told him my dad was in the music industry … he said 'oh, like a manager?''). Oh, it's wrong to be proud of your parents now, is it? Well, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Because now the children of CEOs have waded in. The daughter of an Airbnb executive posted a TikTok reading, 'I told him my family owned an Airbnb. Him: 'Oh their little apartment must be cute'', followed by a slideshow of expensive rental properties. The daughter of an Anthropologie designer did one that said: 'I told him my mom designed a famous candle. He said, 'like for a farmer's market?'.' This is sweet. No it isn't. It's one thing to brag about your own accomplishments, but it's far uglier to brag about accomplishments you had nothing to do with and only benefit from. The subtext of all these TikToks is essentially: 'Look how rich I'm going to be when my parent dies.' I'm not sure that's the case. And the format of the videos is offputting too. God forbid anyone asks you a follow-up question when you're boasting about your mum. So I shouldn't show off about my parents online? Not unless you want everyone to think you're incapable of standing on your own two feet without them, no. Do say: 'TikTokers are bragging about generational wealth.' Don't say: 'Their parents must be so proud.'

Jessica Alba focuses on 'friendship and self-care' as she chills by pool
Jessica Alba was cool by the pool as she celebrated 'friendship and self-care' during a sun-soaked weekend getaway. The actress, 44, was seen relaxing in a white and beige patterned bikini and sunhat as she flashed a peace sign for the camera. Following her divorce from Cash Warren, she wrote in the caption of her post: 'Channeling chill - breathwork - friendship and selfcare.' In her series of snaps she also posed in a strapless leopard print swimsuit while spending time at a luxury spa. Her vacation comes after she was recently spotted kissing and cozying up to a new man just weeks after her divorce from Cash Warren. But recently an insider has shed light into Jessica 's life back on the market. While she seemed to have a potential new beau in London, a source insisted to Us Weekly that Jessica isn't dating anyone in particular at the moment and is merely 'embracing' the attention coming her way. '[Jessica has] gone on dates, but she isn't seeing anyone specific right now,' the source said. 'She's having a lot of fun going out with her girlfriends and being more spontaneous. She's embracing all the attention she's getting.' Indeed, Jessica seems to be living it up now that she is single again. Her Instagram account shows her traveling to numerous destinations where bathing suits are a must, and she even celebrated her birthday with her gal pals in Las Vegas. 'A vegas birthday was not in the cards, but a time was definitely had,' Jessica mused on Instagram as she shared snaps from her travels to Sin City in early May. 'Grateful for the women who have been by my side through every season with nothing but love & support. No matter where we are in the world, we have the best time when we're together - te amo.' The post even included the LE Bowman poem A New Kind Of Sexy, a telling clue of her post-divorce attitude. While Jessica may be an independent woman, she has had some company in recent weeks. Earlier this month Alba was spotted enjoying a cozy stroll with a man in London's Regent's Park. An onlooker told The Sun the pair could be seen kissing on deckchairs and embracing as they strolled through the park. They said: 'They looked very intimate. They were hugging and holding hands as they walked through the park together. 'They rented out some deck chairs and they were sitting on them kissing. 'It looked very much like a new relationship.' Jessica cited 'irreconcilable differences' as the reasoning behind her separation from Cash when it was announced earlier this year, with him soon filing afterwards. During the course of their marriage, the former couple welcomed three children: Honor, 16, Haven, 13, and Hayes, seven - and both have requested joint physical and legal custody of their kids. Eight months before it was revealed that Jessica and Cash were 'set for divorce,' the Hollywood star uploaded her final anniversary post to celebrate 16 years of marriage. At the time, Alba shared an assortment of images to her main Instagram page of the pair from over the years. She also penned a cryptic caption to accompany the snaps while reflecting on how they have gone through 'thick and thin.' '16 years of marriage, 20 years together and forever to go… Happy Anniversary @cashwarren,' the mother-of-three began. 'I'm proud of us for making it this far. There is no real set of rules or guidance that can ever prepare you for what it means to commit to another person and choose to be family.' The Honey star concluded: 'Through thick and thin we have continually found our way back to each other and have chosen one another. Cheers to us, I love you.'
