We did the scrolling so you don’t have to

Saturday 27 August: The Brotherhood of Immortal Jeans
They may not build statues of critics, but over in Birmingham all it took the infamous ‘four lads in jeans’, was a pre-game fit-pic for the city to consider them worthy of posterity – no wonder the UK tears so many of its memorials down.

Tuesday 30 August: Hot Girl Summer is dead, long live Christian Girl Autumn
It’s officially fall season, marking the return of UGG boots, lawn decorations and Pumpkin Spiced Lattes – aka everything Middle America has given us that we’d like them to take back. What gave the season away? PSL fan Lizzo’s tweet: ‘BITCH I’m getting a pumpkin spice latte tomorrow.’

Friday 2 September: Go West, life is peaceful there?
TGIF! What better way to kick off the weekend than with West doing what West does best: harassing his ex-wife Kim Kardashian on the internet. Time for a drink, I think.

Saturday 3 September: Serena Williams: the GOAT
96 career titles. 39 Grand Slams. 319 weeks as World No 1 and $94 million in career prize money – where else is being the greatest just the beginning?
Sunday 4 September: The ‘Macbeth’ of Venice Film Festival
The world waits with collective breath baited ahead of tomorrow’s VFF premier of Don’t Worry Darling in the wake of reports of director Olivia Wilde and leading lady Florence Pugh’s souring relationship. Fingers crossed the on-screen drama lives up to what’s unfolding off it.
