'And Just like That' fans spot major Season 3 plot hole
The "Sex and the City" revival, which sees three of four leading ladies reprising their iconic roles, has been on thin ice with its audience since its debut season, drawing criticism from haphazard plot lines and even more haphazard headwear (we're looking at you, Carrie).
The discontent flared once again this week when eagle-eyed fans noticed a plot hole involving friend to the main cast Lisa Todd Wexley (Nicole Ari Parker). In an episode airing July 3, Wexley calls Charlotte (Kristin Davis) to inform her that her father has just died suddenly from a stroke.

Fans were quick to point out, however, that during Season 1, Parker's character revealed that her father had died the previous year. Stitching together the clips on social media to point out the recycled plotline, viewers voiced disbelief, with one social media user writing: "Has 'And Just Like That' completely forgot they killed Lisa's dad off already?"

To add insult to injury, fans also noted that after announcing his death in Season 1, the show seemingly ignored the fact to bring him on as a guest star (played by Billy Dee Williams) for an episode in Season 2, only to kill him off again in Season 3.
"Don't forget he was already passed in season 1, and came for dinner in season 2, now he is gone again… not everyone gets that kind of second chance," one user quipped on TikTok.

"Carrie will be having dinner with Big next episode," another wrote, referencing Mr. Big, Carrie's one-time love interest who was killed off during the first season. Chris Noth, the actor playing him, was accused of sexual assault around the time the onscreen death occured.
The cast, however, is mourning Lisa's father's death (the second one) for real.
"I grew up (watching) Billy Dee Williams, so I was very sad in real life that we wouldn't do any more work together in this series," Sarah Jessica Parker told USA TODAY in a recent interview.

Klay Thompson teases Megan Thee Stallion romance with PDA photos
Klay Thompson and Megan Thee Stallion are apparently making their love known on the 'gram. Days after the Grammy-winning rapper included the Dallas Mavericks star in a poolside Instagram post, Thompson, 35, shared a collection of vacation shots Saturday on the social media platform that featured him cozying up to a woman in the Bahamas. Although Thompson's lady in question had her face turned away from the camera, the bright pink nails matched those Megan, 30, rocked in her original pool shoot on July 9. 6 Klay Thompson packed on the PDA in new Instagram photos. Klay Thompson/Instagram 6 The photos were shared days after Megan Thee Stallion included the Dallas Mavericks star in a poolside post. Instagram/@theestallion Thompson added a photo of a couple holding hands to his PDA-packed carousel. Prior to her romance with Thompson, Megan was linked to Chicago Bulls forward Torrey Craig last summer. At the time, the pair participated in a TikTok couple's challenge, where they answered questions about one another by pointing at each other or themselves with their eyes shut. 6 Klay Thompson held a woman's hand in one snap, with her nails appearing to match the shade Megan sported. Klay Thompson/Instagram 6 Megan Thee Stallion rocked bright pink nails in recent bikini snaps. Instagram/@theestallion Megan shared the video before deleting it. Thompson, who was previously involved with actress Laura Harrier, is coming off his first season in Dallas after spending the first 13 years of his NBA career with the Warriors. A four-time NBA champ with Golden State, Thompson averaged 14 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists this past season. 6 Klay Thompson (31) just wrapped his first season with the Dallas Mavericks. NBAE via Getty Images 6 The four-time NBA champion spent the first 13 years of his career with Golden State. Getty Images Thompson originally agreed to a three-year, $50 million contract with the Mavericks during free agency last July. The Mavericks, fresh off a 2024 NBA Finals run, then shook up the NBA in February when they stunningly traded star Luka Doncic to the Lakers, resulting in a turbulent fallout for the Dallas franchise. When asked in April if he still would have chosen the Mavericks, knowing what he knows now, Thompson scoffed at the 'ridiculous' question. 'You can't do that to me… That's kind of a ridiculous question,' he said. 'I don't own a time machine, and I don't believe in looking back. If I didn't have my whole career, I would not be where I'm at, and I wouldn't have been able to persevere through two really hard injuries.' The future is looking bright for the Mavericks, though, as the team selected former Duke standout Cooper Flagg with the first overall pick in last month's NBA draft.

'90s Trends That Should Never Come Back
Recently, I asked the BuzzFeed Community which '90s fashion trends they hope never ever make a comeback. Here are 22 of their top responses: "Hypercolor t-shirts. Tits and pits immediately turned the hypercolor color, so that's all people would focus on." —justjen0178 "Those zigzag headbands that had 'teeth.' They were uncomfortable and not that cute." —edgyskeleton362 "Let's leave chunky highlights dead and buried where they belong." —Anonymous, 44, Wisconsin "Hammer pants! Why all that fabric?" —Anonymous, 43 Glens Falls, NY "Dayglow anything. It's already back, but I don't understand why unless you're working and need high vis apparel." —Anonymous "Slip dresses. You can only wear them standing, because if you sit in them, permanently creased. I hated them then, and I continue to hate them." —hollycc "Acid-washed jeans are the worst clothing item ever made." —stephaniev23 "Colored lens glasses with rhinestones." —surprisedtrout753 "It's already too late because they did, but rayon pants. The loose and flowy pants or shorts are not flattering on anyone. 99 percent of those who wear them are not doing their butts a favor. I hated them then. I hate them now." —fabcactus808 "Anything with a leopard print." —Anonymous, 16, Gordon's Bay "Repeat after me; THIN. EYEBROWS. This needs to stay dead and buried unless it actually fits your face. Seriously, I know people who did it that regret their eyebrows never growing back in. And, it's a little creepy. Just do your eyebrows to fit your face, not some trend you see on TikTok." —Anonymous, 32 "JNCO jeans. I grew up in the PNW, so anyone wearing them would end up dragging around soggy denim all day. It was gross." —Anonymous, 39 Texas "Whale tails." —Anonymous, 45 "Matching windbreaker pants and jacket suits. Usually in bright colors. Always with a lining that was so itchy and uncomfortable, and the pants went 'swish swish' when you walked." —Sam, Louisville, KY "Overalls are a big cringe. I wore stonewashed shortalls in the '90s, with a mauve lettuce shirt (rib-knit t-shirt with ruffled edges), and I just cannot believe I ever thought I looked cool. It was just the most awkward look." —caroliner4f34a2a95 "I'll never forget wearing jelly sandals on a hot summer day, walking down the street with a friend, and my shoes were MELTING (or so I thought). They were getting stuck in the hot asphalt. They were a cheap pair I picked up at Dollar General." —toomanykidsnotenoughtime "Stirrup leggings. I lived in them as a kid, but they were so bad, looking back as an adult." —Anonymous, 39 Texas "Shoulder pads need never return." —Anonymous "Why do these '90s lists never talk about wearing dog chains [a chain wallet]? I distinctly remember being in 5th and 6th grade, and kids walking around with dog chains hanging from their belt loops." —askaspie "The plaids from Clueless are seriously embarrassing!!!" —gemininorthnode "Another trend that never needs to come back is those sandals and flip flops with the footbed that looked like a bath mat (they were comfortable, but OMG, germs and just gross)." —toomanykidsnotenoughtime And finally: "Jean jackets have been a trend since the '50s, they're not exclusive to the '90s, and I would argue they were probably most ubiquitous in the '80s... However, the particular style worn in the '90s — boxy, oversized, shapeless — can stay back in the '90s (coming from someone who LIVED in those jean jackets back then!)." —trilingualmom Some of these trends were more niche than others, so what's an obscure or "forgotten" '90s trend you remember? Tell us all about it in the comments!
