Adele's new ballad [premiered](https://www.buzzfeed.com/emilymaeczachor/adele-new-song-debut-hold-on-listen) in an Amazon holiday ad about COVID's effect on the mental health of young people. The [commercial](https://youtu.be/1z73AKLBgLg) — which is about how "kindness" is the "greatest gift" one can give — truly made me tear up, I'm not going to lie.

This week saw the release of Adele's second single, "Hold On," on which of the following (somewhat unexpected) platforms?

Pete making his entrance on "The Tonight Show" 

It was Emily who came to Pete's defense! The supermodel and actor was promoting her new memoir on _[Late Night With Seth Meyers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbVi0sI2u9E)_ when Pete's name came up. She had modeled with the _Saturday Night Live_ star before, and [explained](https://www.buzzfeed.com/natalieoganesyan/emily-ratajkowski-pete-davidson-appeal-charm) why so many women seem to find him attractive: "I feel like only other men feel [that he isn't attractive]. Guys are like, 'Wow. What’s that guy got?' And I’m like, I mean, he seems super charming," she said. "He’s vulnerable. He’s lovely. His fingernail polish is awesome. He looks good!" And she is RIGHT!

Which celebrity explained Pete Davidson's appeal for the people who don't get it (aka, the very few and far between)?

While I believe literally every person listed above deserves (and better) get this distinction for their hotness, this year gave a [long-overdue nod](https://www.buzzfeed.com/natalieoganesyan/paul-rudd-peoples-sexiest-man-alive-reactions) to Paul — who has [_been_ fine](https://people.com/movies/paul-rudd-people-sexiest-man-alive-2021/) for the better part of three decades. I'd like to give a personal shoutout to _Clueless_-era Paul, shirtless Paul in _Ant-Man_, as well as Paul with a beard in his upcoming movie, _Ghostbusters: Afterlife_.

Who was named People's 2021 Sexiest Man Alive?

Lauren and Jeff at the 2020 Tom Ford fashion show in Hollywood

Oh, Leo! The viral moment was captured at the 10th Annual Los Angeles County Museum of Art and Film Gala. In the [clip](https://twitter.com/2cooI2blog/status/1457245864271953920?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1457245864271953920%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.buzzfeed.com%2Fandriamoore%2Fleonardo-dicaprio-jeff-bezos-height-difference) — which, of course, garnered [hilarious reactions](https://www.buzzfeed.com/andriamoore/leonardo-dicaprio-jeff-bezos-height-difference) — Lauren looked ready to risk it all for the veteran actor. And, honestly, who could blame her?! In response, Jeff posted probably the most threatening [image](https://twitter.com/JeffBezos/status/1457720343297019909?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1457720343297019909%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.buzzfeed.com%2Fpost%3Fid%3D6094276) I've ever seen, standing behind a sign that reads, "Danger! Steep cliff fatal drop" in all caps. He added the caption, "Leo, come over here, I want to show you something..." for good measure.

Which A-lister's ~flirtatious~ video interaction with Lauren Sánchez (Jeff Bezos' girlfriend) went viral this week?

Is [this](https://www.buzzfeed.com/emilymaeczachor/theres-a-petition-to-keep-james-corden-out-of-wicked-movie) objectively mean? Yes. Is it also objectively hilarious? Also yes! And, honestly, with credits in _Cinderella_, _Cats_, and _The Prom_ (and who could forget this... [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5XUZSFHfQU)), I think we have suffered enough! While we're at it, I don't want to see Crisp Rat in it either!!!

There's a prominent petition going around to keep a certain celeb out of the _Wicked_ movie musical. Who is it?

If you can believe it, the rest of these things [are true](https://www.vogue.com/slideshow/inside-ivy-getty-wedding-weekend-in-san-francisco). But, duh, a rabbit didn't deliver the rings! It was a puppy, silly!

Billionaire heir Ivy Getty recently married. Which of the following is NOT true about the ceremony?

Yes, you did get a bit of help on this question, so I expect correct answers only! Malala [married](https://www.buzzfeed.com/alexgurley/malala-yousafzai-married) Nov. 9, while news of Ivy's extravagant weekend wedding broke on Monday. Paris and Carter [wedded](https://people.com/tv/paris-hilton-and-carter-reum-wedding-every-single-photo/) Nov. 11 in Bel-Air (because of course they did). As for Shailene and Aaron, well, let's just say they're making headlines for [other](https://www.buzzfeed.com/larryfitzmaurice/shailene-woodley-aaron-rodgers-vaccine-statements) [reasons](https://www.buzzfeed.com/natashajokic1/shailene-woodley-aaron-rodgers-covid-instagram)...

There were a lot of celebrity marriages this week. Which of these did not take place?

It's Tay-Tay! To clarify, I mean [Lautner](https://www.buzzfeed.com/natalieoganesyan/taylor-lautner-engaged-tay-dome-reactions). The _Twilight_ alum's proposal to Tay Dome (I know) took place on Thursday. Congrats to them!

Because love is clearly in the air this week (as it was last week, IYKYK), which of these alums from _The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl_ got engaged?

_Squid Game_ lovers (read: everyone) rejoice! Season 2 is officially [in the works](https://www.buzzfeed.com/ishabassi/squid-game-season-2-confirmed-netflix-hwang-dong-hyuk). The news came early on this week, with creator Hwang Dong-Hyuk saying he's currently in the "planning process." As for the rest of these series: _Maid_ is a miniseries based on Stephanie Land's memoir, and is unlikely to get a season renewal; the new _Gossip Girl_ has already been given the greenlight for a [Season 2](https://www.thewrap.com/gossip-girl-season-2-renewed-hbo-max-reboot/); meanwhile, the beloved _Only Murders_ received its [go-ahead](https://www.menshealth.com/entertainment/a37611427/only-murders-in-the-building-season-2-trailer-cast-news-release-date/) back in October.

Which über-popular series was JUST renewed for a second season this week?  


Britney at the iHeartRadio Festival in 2013

That's right, Britney is [finally free](https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/skbaer/britney-spears-free-conservatorship-ends)! Congrats to her, and I hope she's having the best time enjoying her long-overdue liberation.

And, lastly (and most importantly), Britney is:

Oh, honey...where WERE you this week? So much happened, and it all seemingly passed you by! Unless you were attending any of these aforementioned weddings and/or are a billionaire heir, I don't see how you didn't at least get a 6/10 — especially with the freebie. Sigh, you have much studying to do.

Bravo, indeed! Patrizia Reggiani (aka Lady Gaga's character and real-life Italian socialite/murderer) couldn't be more cunning.
