Most Important Couple of the Week: Rihanna's nipples. More influential than Jay-Z and Beyonce, and more controversial than Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain, Rihanna's nipples made a giant splash on the world of celebrity couples this week after showing up together on the CFDA red carpet. This is most likely not the last time we'll see them out and about. -- Justin Moran


Genius/Disgusting Video of the Week: Tinder pick-up lines read aloud. -- Abby Schreiber

Best Scientific Study Telling Us What We Already Suspected: That Stephen Colbert is teaching us more than the actual news. -- M.E.

Most Important Fashion Statement: Jay Z's Rodarte jersey. Jay Z in an athletic jersey is hardly anything newsworthy, but Jay Z in a $304 woman's jersey by Rodarte makes us absolutely elated... and slightly confused. It's unclear whether Hov borrowed from Beyoncé's closet, but here's to hoping he throws on a floor-length Rodarte gown next! -- J.M.

Most Unsettling Song Re-Invention of the Week: Funny Or Die's version of Reading Rainbow's classic theme song in honor of the fact that Levar Burton's Kickstarter on behalf of the beloved children's show has already raised $3.5 million in only a few days. -- M.E.

Most Understandable Breakup Rationale: Divorcing your husband because he doesn't like the movie Frozen. Everyone seems to be up in arms about how irrational this woman must be, but to us, she's completely justified in this decision. Our advice to her husband? "Let it go, let it go. Turn away and slam the door." -- J.M.


Pre-World Cup Trick Video of the Week: French comedian/amateur soccer player Rémi Gaillard's. His skillz are from the distant future, his pants from 2002. YAY RÉMI! SOCCER WOO! -- Tucker Chet Markus

Book That Should Top Your Summer Reading List: Adam, by Ariel Schrag. Out next week, Schrag's debut novel is about a young man who, through his sister, gets involved in NYC's lesbian scene, falls in love with a gay girl, and questions whether he should pass as transgender. (And, p.s., Schrag will have a book reading on Wednesday, June 18 at Greenlight Bookstore in Brookyn.) -- A.S.
