You’ve mastered the pentastack; you’re maxed (maxxed?) out on protein; you have Dr. Garth Fisher on speed dial. But are you sufficiently concerned with the state of your vagina? If not, Sarah DiGregorio’s latest piece might have you reconsidering everything—presuming you’re the type of person who believes it is, in fact, possible to have a “top one percent vagina,” à la Kate Tolo, current girlfriend of notorious longevity influencer Bryan “Don’t Die” Johnson. (Who recently wondered publicly if he’s “taken this whole longevity thing too far,” thus doing the only thing he could to possibly surprise us at this juncture: showing some degree of self-awareness.)

That was a lot of information! Let’s cleanse our brains on this lovely summer Friday by either agreeing or disagreeing with Chris Murphy’s advice for Tom Holland, and thanking our lucky stars we don’t live in the same house as Eric Goode, the Tiger King director and reptile enthusiast. More tomorrow!

Ariana Grande and Bowen Yang Get Wickedly Honest With Each Other

BY VANITY FAIR

With the release of the Grammy-winner’s eighth studio album Petal, we revisit the time when Grande and her fellow Shiz University classmate Bowen Yang took the hot seat for VF’s lie detector test.

Relive the fun as the costars grill each other about the moon landing and whether Bowen thinks Ariana is a better kisser than Sydney Sweeney.

Earlier this month, Andrew and Tristan Tate strutted around Washington as MAGA royalty. It was surprising, then, to see the footage that emerged after the Tates returned last weekend to the manosphere hub of Miami. Federal agents arrested Andrew, wearing a half-buttoned purple mesh shirt and his customary ultracropped, ultratight pants, and Tristan, in a rigid three-piece suit, after British authorities brought 38 new sex-crime charges against the brothers, bringing the total counts against them there to 59, and made an extradition request that left prosecutors working for Trump’s Justice Department fighting on the United Kingdom’s behalf. Dan Adler writes about the brothers’ reversal of fortune, and poses a burning question: Has the manosphere lost its political cachet?

Elsewhere, Chris Murphy digs into the—ahem—impossible quest to release the soundtrack to Whitney Houston and Brandy’s canonical 1997 take on Cinderella, while Claire Howorth has a lovely meditation on the joys of Phish. (I’m not super familiar with the band’s work, but I do admire them for inspiring the best Ben & Jerry’s flavor.) More tomorrow!

But as the influencer and his brother face extradition to the United Kingdom on rape and sex trafficking charges, Karoline Leavitt says the president won’t intervene. Has the manosphere lost its political cachet?

The Mouse That Roared

BY TINA BROWN

Following the 45th anniversary of Charles and Diana’s lavish royal wedding, we revisit the October 1985 issue when then editor in chief Tina Brown examined how much marriage had changed the princess: “The introvert unable to cope with public life has emerged as the star of the world’s stage.”
