Christine Blasey Ford and Brett Kavanaugh will each give testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday at 10 a.m. eastern. Watching the hearing might be hard, watching cable news cover these allegations and the lead up to the hearing like the Super Bowl has already been hard.

While appearing on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live last night, Naomi Campbell was asked for her thoughts on a young model named Kendall Jenner.
