Every Friday, Aaf Brandt Corstius highlights two remarkable celebrity news. Today: Roos van Reedijk and Harry Styles.
Grass
Your stargazer’s favorite program has started again: Buy without looking† Three hundred million Dutch people watch it every week, but just to be sure: in this program frustrated home seekers sign a contract blindly so that celebrity broker Alex van Keulen can buy them a house. He is flanked by celebrity contractor Bob Sikkes, celebrity Ibiza stylist Roos van Reedijk and celebrity Martijn Krabbé.
This week two news about the program: Alex van Keulen fell backwards into a neglected ornamental pond during an inspection of a dilapidated 1930s house in Hilversum (the wet dream of every thirty-something in the Randstad). This fragment was widely shared, whereby according to your stargazer there was too little attention for what Bob Sikkes did immediately afterwards: he talked undisturbed about the extension and the sliding doors. craftsman.
The other news was that a buying couple has risen and been embraced by Twitter rather than toxically reviled. Roos Reedijk discussed them in RTL Boulevard† Cevar and Shannon, who were overjoyed with their new home in rural Groningen and danced incessantly with delight. ‘I smell this and I think heee,’ was one of the quotes from Cevar, who wanted a garden with grass and got it.
Boulevard also announced that Reedijk would reveal the ‘secret behind the Chamber of Commerce styling budget’. According to your stargazer, that is ostentatiously walking into a furniture store where the name of the store in question is constantly visible. But according to Reedijk, the secret is: ‘Shopping on Marktplaats and very cool vintage sites.’
Jealous
So much Harry Styles news, an ordinary person can no longer keep up. Now that Harry Styles is not only enchanting more tribes of weak teenagers, but also an increasing battalion of forties fangirling about his new record (forties say record), it’s time for a month-long recap of Stylesnieuws.
Around the launch of the album Harry’s House there was already a lot of fuss about Styles’ big lacquered toe, which stuck through a hole in a sock on the cover of the magazine Better Homes and Gardens† The toe divided his fans: was this a bridge too far or just unbelievably Harry?
Some tweeted that ‘Harry Styles’ big toe tattoo is finally getting the recognition it deserves’ or simply said ‘HIS TOE’ in love. Others were more like, ‘Whose monstrous idea was this?’
Then hassle again: part of Harry’s House leaked out prematurely, and fans were outraged about that.
Next, paparazzi captured Styles at a circus school, where he learned to fly acrobatics for an upcoming music video. He wore a plumage and men’s shoes: all fans confused with joy.
And this week, Mick Jagger, who Styles is often compared to, showed up as well. Jagger expressed himself in the Sunday Times as an old jealous, sorry, boomer: ‘I used to wear a lot more eye makeup than he did. I was much more androgynous. (…) He also doesn’t have the same voice as me and doesn’t move on stage like me.’ Jagger must know about Styles’ fan army. So this is brave.
