What do。 Lena Dunham。, Logan Paul, and, most recently, Drake have in common?

They've each at some point employed their iPhone Notes apps to pen statements and apologies for all the world to see. Those longwinded chunks of text are an inevitable part of most celebrity scandal life cycles. 。

Now, in my humble opinion, the Notes app is strictly to be used for grocery lists, makeshift diary entries, and lists of shows your friends tell you to watch, though you never will. Celebrity drama would be much more interesting if famous people would break free from Notes app mold and try something new.。

But first, how'd we get here?

Thanks to social media, the nature of how celebrities interact with the public has changed significantly. Platforms like Twitter and Instagram serve as a direct portal to consumers (that's us, the plebeians) and the need for a middle man to relay information has become somewhat unnecessary.。

As they explained in a 2016 piece for 。 Vanity Fair。:。

"All of these notes—posted to Instagram or tweeted—took the place of a traditional press release or a two-page spread in。 People 。magazine.。 We don’t need those things anymore。, many of our favorite (and not-so-favorite) celebrities agreed."  。

As Finger noted on Jezebel back in 2016, it's a tactic that's been used by everyone from Ariana Grande, who apologized for that infamous doughnut-licking scandal, to the NFL.。

Today, this method is a go-to for public statements of all kinds. Just last week, Drake。used to the app to clarify the details behind a damming 2007 photo in which he's seen wearing blackface.。

Personally, we're tired of this. But where, if not the Notes app, should celebrities put their apologies? Here are a few of my very real suggestions. Famous people, take notes on any medium you choose. 。

1. The back of a receipt。

While you're confessing your sins and asking for our forgiveness, you might as well share what you're spending your hard-earned money on. We stan transparency of all kinds!。 。

2. On the back of the handwritten recipe for your mom's famous cookout dish 。

That way we know you're really serious about your apology.。

3. Paint it on a mural.. 。

There's nothing like disguising your lackluster apology in beautiful imagery to distract people from the fact that you didn't actually use the word "sorry." 。

4. ...or rent a billboard。

Billboards are typically reserved for advertising or for admissions of love, but isn't a successful celebrity apology note essentially a combination of both?
