File this one under, you can’t make it up (but we’re hoping she did?!) Kylie Jenner has made a life-changing food decision, and no, she isn’t going gluten-free. She is now consuming cereal with milk. She shared the news on Twitter, writing: “last night i had cereal with milk for the first time. life changing.” Uuuh?, social media shrieked. As it turns out, Jenner has long been a fan of cereal, especially the “amazing” Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but that it never seemed to occur to her to add milk. She explained: “i always liked cereal dry i never bothered to put milk.” Jenner isn’t the only celeb to make weird, highly public food revelations. Tom Brady recently ate his first strawberry on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
Jane Fonda has had more than her share of heartbreak and drama, but nothing can hold a candle to the trauma the actress and activist went through when her mother committed suicide. The 80-year-old sits down with People to discuss the heartbreak of her mother taking her own life when she was 12, and the impact it has had on her, even as an adult. “If you have a parent who is not capable of showing up, not capable of reflecting you back through eyes of love, it has a big impact on your sense of self,” she tells People editor-in-chief Jess Cagle, in the latest installment of the Jess Cagle Exercise on PeopleTV. She continues: “As a child, you always think it was your fault…because the child can’t blame the adult, because they depend on the adult for survival. It takes a long time to get over the guilt.” Her mother, Frances Ford Seymour, married Henry Fonda in 1936; together, they had Jane and Peter. Her mother took her own life at a mental institution when she was 42. Fonda didn’t realize she’d committed suicide until she read about it in a movie magazine. She’d been told her mother died of a heart attack. “When I wrote my memoir [2005’s My Life So Far], I dedicated it to my mother because I knew that if I did…I would be forced to really try to figure her out,” Fonda says. “I never knew her because she suffered from bipolarity.” She says she’s grateful for the research she did, because it enabled her to forgive herself, and her parents. “It wasn’t that I wasn’t lovable. They had issues,” she adds. “And the minute you know that, you can feel tremendous empathy for them. And you can forgive.” Fonda is currently promoting the HBO documentary, Jane Fonda in Five Acts, out September 24th.

KENDALL JENNER, KAIA GERBER, GIGI AND BELLA HADID WALK FERRETTI: Italian designer Alberta Ferretti’s Spring / Summer 2019 show was a star-studded affair, featuring Kaia Gerber, Gigi and Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner. “It’s not boho…I’m going to say it’s very Florence,” Queer Eye‘s Tan France told E! News of the show. “Think Florence, the Machine and that’s the look. It almost looks granola-y, but in the most beautiful way. Small prints, earth tones-it’s kind of whimsical.”
