\n Those who have spent any time online in the past few days already know what happened. Over the weekend, Clarkson \u201cdrove all the way to Brooklyn to check out this store I thought looked really rad,\u201d she wrote on X.<\/a>\n <\/p>\n \n The outing didn\u2019t end well \u2014 she wanted to buy something (later revealed to be a $15,000 bird sculpture that the store said was not for sale) and \u201cwas looked at as if I couldn\u2019t afford it,\u201d she wrote.\n <\/p>\n \n Clarkson called out the store, saying: \u201cWow, dude. You\u2019re an idiot and just lost a huge sale,\u201d comparing her experience to \u201cbeing treated like Julia Roberts character in Pretty Woman.\u201d\n <\/p>\n \n The store replied<\/a> by saying the bird \u2014 named Molly \u2014 wasn\u2019t for sale and called out Clarkson for putting them on blast.\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cIt\u2019s been a surreal experience to be the focus of such widespread outrage after just one mention by a celebrity,\u201d they wrote, before quoting \u201cwhat doesn\u2019t kill you makes you stronger\u201d from Clarkson\u2019s hit 2012 single \u2014 which struck some fans as snarky.\n <\/p>\n \n The back-and-forth somehow continued, with Clarkson accusing the shop of lying, while Art of Play co-owner Adam Rubin told Curbed <\/a>that \u201cKelly Clarkson has put us in danger.\u201d\n <\/p>\n \n Fast forward to Tuesday night, and Torres\u2019 video, which has been viewed over 350,000 times.\n <\/p>\n \n Clarkson looked unglamorous in the video \u2014 no surprise to her fans, who have long loved her for her down-to-earth personality, something she appears to have held on to since winning the first season of \u201cAmerican Idol\u201d in 2002 to just a few weeks ago, when she ended her eponymous Emmy-winning daytime talk show after seven seasons.\n <\/p>\n \n Those fans have been super supportive of Clarkson through everything from her weight loss journey to divorce and single parenthood, which made it even more jarring to see online discourse paint her as an entitled celebrity bullying a small business, a position taken by many in Brooklyn itself.\n <\/p>\n \n Even the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union has weighed in, with its president saying in a statement <\/a>that: \u201cWhether it involves a high-profile celebrity or an everyday shopper, no customer has the right to abuse retail workers on the floor or mobilize online harassment against them.\u201d\n <\/p>\n \n The announcement that Dunham was getting the band back together for a limited revival of the hit series \u201c\u2018Girls\u201d\u2019 she created on HBO (which shares a parent company with CNN) came via a video of a mock Zoom call between Dunham and her costars Allison Williams, Jemima Kirke, Zosia Mamet and Andrew Rannells.\n <\/p>\n \n The show epitomized early 2010s Brooklyn culture, and fans have been wondering how they will bring the show into the present day, with many parts of the borough even more gentrified (and expensive) than they were then.\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cWe always said we would only return to GIRLS if there was a specific story we were burning to tell. I\u2019ve missed these characters, but for a long time I couldn\u2019t quite picture them in the present day,\u201d Dunham said in a statement<\/a>. \u201cThen, right around my fortieth birthday, they started talking to me in the shower. And, as you may remember, once this fivesome starts talking it\u2019s pretty hard to get them to stop.\u201d\n <\/p>\n \n It was surprising given that Dunham said in an interview back in April that she had never rewatched her series. \u201cWe got asked to do at one point if we wanted to do a \u2018Girls\u2019 rewatch podcast and I was like with total gratitude that anyone would care, that\u2019s actually my nightmare job,\u201d she said at the time.<\/a>\n <\/p>\n Lena Dunham has never rewatched ‘Girls,’ but do go ahead\n <\/p>\n Many millennials are obsessed with rewatching the TV show “Girls” — but the show’s creator, Lena Dunham, says she isn’t one of them. “I’ve never done the rewatch,” she says.<\/p>\n Lena Dunham has never rewatched ‘Girls,’ but do go ahead<\/p>\n 1:01<\/p>\n \n Production is set to begin in 2027 \u2014 a decade after the season six finale \u2014 which gives fans time to imagine the storylines. The questions are already bubbling, including: What\u2019s happened with the son of Dunham\u2019s character Hannah Horvath? And will they at all mention Adam Driver\u2019s character given that he\u2019s not listed as returning and Dunham wrote in her recent memoir about clashing with him on set?\n <\/p>\n \n It also serves as a reminder to the show\u2019s many haters, who called out its unlikeable characters (including Dunham\u2019s Hannah,), lack of diversity and atmosphere of privilege.\n <\/p>\n \n Which brings us back to Brooklyn.\n <\/p>\n \n In the spirit of cooperation, perhaps Dunham could bring Clarkson on for a guest spot that satirizes her toy store drama and gives her a chance to play the villain she\u2019s being accused of being?\n <\/p>\n \n That just might kill two birds with one stone.\n <\/p>\n ![\"Lena](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/tcdgirl-ec099.jpg\")
