“Any answer other than ‘Ange-uh-luh Bassett’ is the wrong answer.”
In the world of pop culture, this year has been a wild ride. And while we’re still a month away from 2024, I think a recap of some of the best moments is needed…
1. Barbenheimer
2. The “Susi store-bought pesto” stitches on TikTok

4. Shakira finding out that her partner was having an affair thanks to a jar of jam
5. Cole Sprouse’s cringe-inducing interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast
6. Rihanna casually announcing her second pregnancy during her Super Bowl performance
7. The cockroach on the Met Gala red carpet stealing the show
Yup, the insect caused quite the buzz (sorry) when it appeared on the celebrity red carpet earlier this year. In true internet fashion, the cockroach became centre of attention, until we sadly found out through a tweet that it had been squashed. My heart is very much still broken.
8. Gwyneth Paltrow’s ski accident trial
9. Prince Harry releasing his memoir, Spare
10. McDonald’s Grimace milkshake
Celebrating the 52nd birthday of Grimace (a character from McDonaldland), this milkshake went viral with people trying to get it. Of course, TikTok turned this into a horror-themed-meme where users were pretending that Grimace is actually a demonic entity, and strange things happen once you’ve tried the milkshake. If you missed this, my apologies, you had to be there.
11. Kylie Jenner wearing a giant Lion’s head
