Every day, Kate and Allison will keep you updated on the biggest entertainment stories and conversations of the day so you have something to search in incognito at work in between meetings.

Lucy (@lucyontheground) joins the hosts of "I Am The Cute One" to break down "She's The Man," and she has them on a close watch to make sure they're dishing - not dissing - one of her favorite movies. Lucy wows the duo with her Amanda Bynes impression, Chelsea shares a tale about her worst roommate, and Donny wishes he could go to the multiverse where Amanda's career is thriving and she's suffering in silence. Also, Donny broke up a marriage. #spidermanFollow Us on Social Media:The Dipp: @thedippChelsea: @ohnochelsDonny: @donnyhadfieldsmith
