Not many of us can say that 22 was the best year ever — but Riverdale star Madelaine Petsch definitely can.

The actress, who turns 23 today, has had an AMAZING year — from her CW series being a major hit and all the way to win a Teen Choice Award last week — we could only wish that 22 was that amazing for us.

“22 was the best year of my life,” she wrote on Instagram today. “I achieved a lot of my goals & dreams and I feel lucky everyday to be able to be surrounded by people I love, respect and who challenge me.”

Madelaine adds, “Thank you to everyone for already making this day so special. I can’t wait to see what 23 has in store for me.”

Neither can we! Happy birthday, Madelaine!

Madelaine Petsch and the cast of Riverdale are starting to become household names now and that comes with a wealth of fans — some crazy, some not so much.

However, the Cheryl Blossom actress revealed to ET that she’s also went through her first crazy and overwhelming fan encounter, right after they wrapped on season one.

“My first [encounter] was so overwhelming,” she says. “I was at the Grove, it was right after we got back from filming, and a fan yelled my name, actually ‘Cheryl Blossom’ at the top of her lungs, but it didn’t really register.”

Madelaine adds, “[She] starts running, like a soldier, running at me, and then jumps on me. I was so stressed out.”

We hope this fan encounter turned out better than it started!

She adds, “We are all headed back to work now!!! Sad we couldn’t stay longer. Thank you so much for having us @TeenChoiceFOX.”

Emojis are pretty much a full blown language now — but there was always something missing from it — the redheaded emoji.

We’ve seen countless complaints about the lack of a redheaded emoji and the world definitely needs one. In fact a little campaign was started earlier this year after the latest update on our phones.

And they listened!

In a new press release, the redhead emoji is set to debut in June 2018. Still, it’s a bit of a wait, but still worth it, yes? Yes.


“This changes everything,” Calum Worthy wrote on Twitter after the announcement.

It does, Calum. It does.
