In her snap-analysis of Evans’ selection, Elaine Lui, aka the esteemed LaineyGossip, explained, “The SMA had lost some of its specialness when it seemed like PEOPLE was just giving it to any male coach on The Voice and David Beckham, suggesting that maybe the movie stars were done with it altogether.” It’s rebounded in recent years, landing Idris Elba, John Legend, and Michael B. People’s picks, which used to attempt to choose “ the guy of the moment,” an editor once explained, have become increasingly subject to publicist negotiations, going not to the sexiest star but the sexiest star willing to put up with the whole rigmarole.

Last week, Saturday Night Live comic Pete Davidson and reality star/entrepreneur/influencer Kim Kardashian held hands while riding a roller coaster at Knott’s Scary Farm, a California theme park decked out for Halloween. And to that fact, all I can say is: How has no one burst into the People printing plant and yelled, “Stop the presses!”?
