The My 600 Lb Life JT episode is one fans have been awaiting eagerly, even if they didn’t know it. It turns out that native Oklahoman JT Clark is the person behind the mystery 892 pound weigh-in we saw in the Season 8 trailer a few weeks back. Fortunately for viewers still frustrated with Bethany’s story, it looks like JT’s episode has a very different outcome.

REALITY TEA – There’s a rumor going around about NeNe quitting RHOA after this season, which appears to be based on the fact that she’s barely appeared in any episodes for an appreciable amount of time and because Wendy Williams says NeNe is “keeping a major secret,” one that could lead to her departure

CELEBITCHY – There’s a ton of Brad & Jan gossip out there right now, so let’s all remember the basics of their SAG Awards (non) drama: “Brad Pitt & Jennifer Aniston went to the same SAG after-party & did not hang out”

JEZEBEL –It’s impeachment season, and here’s your red carpet review. Oddly enough, Mitch McConnell doesn’t look as terrible as you might expect? and Pat Cipollone looks like the ghost of Harold Ramis possessed by Roy Cohn

VOX – Speaking of which: Not that it makes this any less harmful to democracy or the general public good, but Trump’s lawyers opening his impeachment trial with a defense of 100% lies should surprise precisely no one

LAINEY GOSSIP – I knew there was a new Bad Boys movie coming out soon but I honestly and completely forgot about Bad Boys II ever coming out at all, which I guess is kind of the point of the new one

GO FUG YOURSELF – Dutchess Catherine is making the absolute most of Meghan’s departure

THE BLAST – There’s no way this was the first time Wendy Williams farted on live TV. A better question would be how often do people who spend as much time on TV as Wendy Williams fart and get away with it

CELEBITCHY – In case the decay of their relationship wasn’t already bad enough, we’re about to get Thomas Markle vs Meghan in court, too. It looks like Thomas — who, in case you forgot, is Dutchess Meghan’s father — is prepared to testify against his daughter in Meghan’s defamation lawsuit against the Daily Mail. Over the past year, Thomas has shown himself to be fairly unreliable when it comes to spinning a narrative; if I’m the DM, I can’t be thrilled about having him take the stand

LAINEY GOSSIP – In related Sussexit / Megxit news, Prince William and Catherine were near peak pettiness while stepping out for the first time since the shit hit the fan

VOX – Lev Parnas, Rudy Giuliani’s associate and co-crime-doer, Ukraine Division, just turned over a bunch of documents to the House Intelligence Committee detailing more Ukraine-related crimes he and Rudy Giuliani did at Donald Trump’s behest, some of them literally written out in longhand on fancy hotel stationary. This is like when the FBI raids the Kansas City headquarters in Casino and finds all the evidence they need literally written out in notebooks

THE BLAST – It seems one of Vanderpump Rules‘ new cast members forgot to delete a few mildly racist tweets after being added to the show

JEZEBEL – This story about the complete meltdown of and nuclear fallout from the Romance Writers of America’s recent orgy of backstabbing and deception is very long and complicated and also completely bananas and really just so very, very worth your time and attention

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – Ashley Jacobs’ response to her fellow current and former Southern Charm co-stars and lovers Kathryn Dennis and Thomas Ravenel getting back together is shade in a few different hues

DLISTED – Worth the click for this article’s very excellent opening sentence alone: “It seems that Josie Canseco’s thirst for douche fumes knows no limits”

GO FUG YOURSELF – The thing that makes this lowkey my favorite headline of the last few days is how perfectly, compactly understated the joke is

REALITY TEA – Here it is only mid-January and Bethenny Frankel is coming in hard with her submission for understatement of the year

THE BLEMISH – I almost hate to direct quote so many times in a single links post, but here’s another strong contender for Headline Of The Week: “Do You Wanna See Flume Eat Out Lizzo’s Butt?”

Our first official My 600 Lb Life Lindsey update is here, and it looks like things continue to go well for the Season 8 star! Iowan Lindsey Witte, whose perseverance and optimism made her an early fan favorite, appears to be making some tremendous weight loss strides in her latest photos. Lindsey’s also endeared herself to viewers by giving plenty of credit to the people who’ve helped her along the way — keep reading for the latest!

It’s a bittersweet update on My 600 Lb Life Diana now. The veteran is celebrating one of the show’s all-time biggest success stories — and bidding farewell to her time in front of the camera. Season 5 star Diana Bunch recently acknowledged she’s done with filming. And Diana won’t be doing any more follow-up episodes…but the reason why will have you cheering!

CELEBITCHY – If your head is still spinning from Meghan and Harry’s renunciation of royal duties and you’re looking to have Sussexit explained simply, you’ll want both this week’s People cover story and Celebitchy’s breakdown of why it’s significant. Also: come for the explainer; stay for the Dutchess Catherine shade

THE BLAST – I get why there was such a sudden backlash against Vince Vaughn after he chummed up to the president at the LSU-Clemson game on Monday night, but also, Vince Vaughn appears to have been a semi-open Republican? Put your cancel energy where it can do the most good, people

DLISTED – Billie Eilish will become the youngest person ever to record the theme song for a James Bond movie when her contribution to No Time To Die drops in a couple of months. Maybe this will be the thing that gets Daniel Craig just the tiniest bit interested in promo before he bids Bond adieu for good

VOX – Stephen King said some contradictory things about the role of diversity in art, proving for the let’s say billionth time that while Twitter is not the place for nuanced discussion (unless you’re writing a thread), it’s the perfect venue for awkward about-faces after you get called out

JEZEBEL – “The Bachelor’s ‘ChampagneGate’ Was a Master Class in Sadistic Producing”

GO FUG YOURSELF – Billy Porter is now the first man to get himself an Allure cover; unsurprisingly, the feature is a standout

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – Shameless Southern Charm stars Thomas Ravenel and Kathryn Dennis appear to be back together and Thomas’ excuse for the reason he and his ex are being spotted together is so weak he may as well have just confirmed the rumors instead

REALITY TEA – In other Southern Charm news, Craig Conover now has his own line of pillows and is hawking them on Home Shopping Network like nobody’s business

LAINEY GOSSIP – The upcoming Black Widow movie looks surprisingly complicated in terms of both plot and the cultural mechanics surrounding its creation and release

Life is a mixed bag for My 600 Lb Life cast member Brittani Fulfer now, but she’s fighting the good fight with help from a brand-new bundle of joy. Though Brittani’s been battling more than her fair share of issues since her most recent Where Are They Now? episode, the Season 4 star recently celebrated the latest addition to her family — and it sounds like the beautiful little boy is giving her aunt a healthy dose of hope.

JEZEBEL – Here’s all your Golden Globes 2020 fashion in one place. Last night’s red carpet was notable for being pretty much risk-free, though that’s not to say there weren’t some stunners (Sofia Carson, Karamo Brown, Zoey Deutch, Cho Yeo-jeong) and some questionable decisions (Bel Powley, Anna Paquin, Olivia Coleman). And in case you were wondering, Billy Porter didn’t get a mention under “stunners” because he is a category unto himself

VOX – While there were plenty of Golden Globes losers last night, there was really only one who Hollywood insiders will be talking about today: that’d be Netflix, who once again managed the stupendous feat of dozens of nominations and zero major wins. (Side note: After seeing a few preamble clips of The Irishman during the show I was reminded once again of the movie’s uncanny valley anti-aging CGI — the #1 reason I haven’t even bothered trying to watch it.)

CELEBITCHY – This is the best Golden Globes 2020 headline

LAINEY GOSSIP – Did Kerry Washington pull off the Golden Globes’ most daring and confident look? Or is this just a hot mess literally held together by some sort of jacket-and-rope combination?

GO FUG YOURSELF – Here’s a fun flashback to the Golden Globes 2010 ceremony, which was dominated by Sandra Bullock (looking great in purple), Avatar (seriously, does anyone care about the Avatar sequels?), and you flipping through this slideshow and going “Oh yeah, I remember that guy!”

THE BLEMISH – One last Golden Globes article: “Salma Hayek’s Golden Globes Shirt Couldn’t Contain Her Breasts”
