The new year, reliably, has brought with it a new round of articles built entirely on arbitrary speculation about the private lives of public figures.
For this go-around, the subjects are Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde, two artists who are currently mid-collaboration on the Booksmart director's forthcoming film Don't Worry Darling. Following a round of largely tweeted speculation from a number of people who apparently do not possess the ability to understand that people can simply be friends, not to mention that none of this is any of our business, TMZ jumped into the drowning-prone tabloid ocean on Monday with an article that includes the phrases "are a couple" and "very much together."

"You're pathetic," Wilde told the conservative media personality.
Don't Worry Darling, also starring Florence Pugh and Chris Pine, paused production last November after a member of the team tested positive for COVID-19. A release date has not been officially announced.
