White House press secretary Sean Spicer offhandedly jabbed celebrity magazine Us Weekly over the weekend as a poor source of stock tips — but that didn't stop the website from offering him investment tips anyway.

In a Saturday tweet responding to a report from Washingtonian magazine that the Trump administration was considering replacing him, Spicer pushed back on the idea, writing that "getting government updates from @Washingtonian is like getting stock tips from @usweekly."

Undeterred, the celebrity magazine's Twitter account told Spicer that he should be investing in index funds instead of stocks and called him "Spicey" — an apparent reference to comedian Melissa McCarthy's "Saturday Night Live" portrayal of Spicer as an embattled, belligerent press secretary who refers to himself in the third person as "Spicey."

.@seanspicer Thanks, Spicey! @usweekly does not recommend investing in individual stocks. Stick with a broad mix of low-cost index funds. — Us Weekly (@usweekly) February 13, 2017

While Hollywood gossip may be Us Weekly's mainstay, its investment advice holds up — many investment advisers see index funds as a less volatile form of investing than picking individual stocks.
