I'm not kidding, there was just a massive eruption of women screaming and cheering in the office. Could hear it coming from everywhere.

Then I went to Twitter and saw why.

She needs to hide 1 golden wedding invite Willy Wonka style inside Showgirl vinyls. That would guarantee at least a 5M first week debut…
