And you thought the inauguration would be the biggest news this week. Disgraced influencer Olivia Jade Giannulli is returning to the fertile ground from whence she sprung — no, not tremendous privilege — YouTube, where she posted her first video in over a year. Deeply underselling things with the title “daily vlog x olivia jade,” Giannulli, 21, begins the video by saying, “This is so crazy!” (We’re with her so far.) Her introduction makes reference to her “Red Table Talk” appearance — which angered “RTT” host Jada Pinkett Smith’s mom and pleased Sofia Richie — and directs viewers to revisit it should they have any questions about her thoughts on the college admissions scandal that landed both of her parents in prison. She then interrupts the video w...

Casey Affleck and Jason Segel in Our FriendPhoto: Gravitas Ventures The opening scene of Our Friend, a tender indie tearjerker built from the blueprint of a wrenching true story, finds a husband and wife on the precipice of a difficult conversation. It’s time for Nicole (Dakota Johnson) and Matt (Casey Affleck) to talk to their children. Nicole, we’ll soon learn, is sick, and though it’ll be another hour before the film reveals the specific nature of what they’ll disclose, it’s clear that the discussion won’t be an easy one. At least they have one helpful instruction from the doctors: Avoid euphemisms. Give it to them straight. Because there should be no misunderstanding about what’s coming. They have to face reality head on and together. There’s a certain irony to this in media re...

She also donned a rainbow bow atop her head, though that isn’t out of the ordinary for the star known for her colorful wardrobe. Then later posted another video dancing to Paramore’s “Ain’t It Fun” with stars from “Teen Beach Movie.” She mouthed the words, “Baby now you’re one of us,” and captioned the video “#Prideh...

Olivia Jade Giannulli is attempting a YouTube career comeback. The 21-year-old daughter -- whose parents Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli pleaded guilty for their involvement in the college admissions scandal -- returned to the video content platform with a new message to her followers on Thursday.   "This is so crazy! Welcome back to my YouTube channel," Jade began. "I am really excited because obviously I haven't filmed in a really long time and I'm just grateful to be back on YouTube and I'm really excited for you guys to watch this video." "I wanted to film this little intro part just because I didn't want it to, like, just start the vlog and me not address anything," she explained. "Obviously did my 'Red Table Talk' interview and I think if you have any questions for me or you...
