LINKS Countess Luann drinking again, Zoe Kravitz wedding pics, Wilmer engaged…

REALITY TEAWe now have actual confirmation of Countess Luann drinking again, from none other than the woman herself. Luann acknowledged that she’s resumed drinking alcohol (legally), now that she’s made it through probation. When multiple stints in assorted treatment programs are part of your probation, maybe you should reconsider hitting the bottle?

CELEBITCHYLast year, Zoe Kravitz had two wedding ceremonies with her now-husband Karl Glusman — the first in May in the States, and the second in June at Lenny Kravitz’s Paris home. On New Year’s Eve, Zoe finally dropped a bunch of photos from the June wedding (aka the one everyone was waiting for a glimpse of), and they are indeed terrific

DLISTED“Throughout the 2010s, Wilmer [Valderrama], who is 39, parlayed his That 70s Show success into an impressive run of dating some of the biggest barely legal pop stars of the decade.” But all that’s coming to an end, because Wilmer is now officially engaged to 28-year-old model Amanda Pacheco. And he proposed with about six rings’ worth of bling

LINKS RHOC cast change, Surviving R Kelly II, Pope Francis claps back…

REALITY TEAAccording to Andy Cohen, there’s a big RHOC cast change in the works for Season 15, which will supposedly begin filming soon. Early money is on Vicki Gunvalson, already demoted from main to supporting cast, getting the boot, but for now no one knows anything

JEZEBELTonight, Lifetime airs Surviving R. Kelly II, a look at the legal and cultural fallout stemming from their Surviving R. Kelly documentary in 2019. Among the new members of Kelly’s circle who will appear in the sequel are several of his former employees, who remain firmly suppostive of Kelly and think the women accusing him are all out for fame and fortune

CELEBITCHYAt a New Year’s Eve mass in St. Peter’s Square, Pope Francis smacked a woman’s hands several times when she grabbed him out of nowhere and almost made him fall over. Of course he has since apologized, but after seeing the video I don’t think anyone can blame him for his reaction

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUPIt sounds like Thomas Ravenel is maybe protesting too much about not coming back to Southern Charm. He swears he’ll never return because his family would “disown” him; I say if he’s even talking about the possibility after the year he had then he has no shame and will absolutely do it given the chance

DLISTEDBusy Philipps took advantage of the New Year to post some choice #AlmostGrams blasting E! for canceling her well-reviewed talk show, Busy Tonight, after just one season a few months ago. Hopefully this is the start of a trend where celebrities talk some serious heat-of-the-moment shit and then wait until the end of the year to share it with the world

GO FUG YOURSELFYes, Lupita Nyong’o is incredible on the February 2020 cover of British Vogue, but I’m still not past the stage where she looks like Adelaide from Us in every photograph

THE BLASTMichael Jackson’s sister Janet Jackson has always kind of looked a little bit like her brother Michael Jackson?

THE BLEMISHAmanda Bynes may have gotten a face tattoo of a thin black heart — outline only — on her left cheek. I think it’s probably just a pen drawing, meant to get a reaction out of people? In any case I hope we can all agree it looks better than Bieber’s

LAINEY GOSSIPOn New Year’s Eve, Michelle Williams and Thomas Kail announced they are a) engaged and b) expecting their first child together, double congrats!

LINKS Dan Spilo speaks out, Kumail Nanjani gets ripped, Meghan McCain vs. Whoopi Goldberg…

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUPA couple of days after Dan Spilo became the first Survivor contestant to be removed from the show for inappropriate behavior, he made his first and likely last public comment on the matter. But even the Dan Spilo speaks out news was tainted by controversy, as Spilo only made a public statement after fellow cast member Kellee Kim took Spilo and the producers to task for not listening to her complaints about Spilo’s behavior earlier in the season

THE BLEMISHIf you haven’t seen the Kumail Nanjiani pic yet, do yourself a favor. I don’t particularly care for or dislike his work, but that is a seriously impressive spring break bod. Or some excellent makeup and CGI? Either way — worth a look!

CELEBITCHYBut, Meghan, Daenerys turned out to be badly written and then got stabbed to death after being queen for maybe an hour and a half, are you sure that’s the comparison you want to go with?

VOXOh yeah, and this happened

THE BLASTI must be loopy because this story about Shaq insisting Stevie Wonder isn’t actually blind has me *really* hoping that Stevie has just been faking it (or lowkey cataracting it) for the past thirty or so years

GO FUG YOURSELFIt’s one of the most difficult paparazzi genres to cover well: the celebrity-hiding-in-a-car photo gallery. And yet, tell me you wouldn’t appreciate a regular feature based entirely on this: “It is time for us to look at photos of royal and royal-adjacent personages driving to and from Granny’s Christmas Luncheon and make judgements about them based on what they look like through a car window!”

My 600 Lb Life Angela Johns update: Controversial star suggests surgery success

Angie J was perhaps the most controversial and universally disliked member of the My 600 Lb Life Season 7 cast. But, in her recent updates, she claims she’s turned herself around. And, in the most shocking detail of our new My 600 Lb Life Angela Johns update, the native Ohioan says she’s actually undergone successful bariatric surgery. Read on for the latest, including the most recent photos Angela has made public, and see for yourself whether her claims hold up…

EXCLUSIVE My 600 Lb Life John and Lonnie photos and episode details before Season 8 premiere

TLC is keeping its cards pretty close to the chest where My 600 Lb Life Season 8 is concerned. So far, all we’ve gotten about the first episode is the name of the featured cast members. Fortunately, that was enough for us to find out more about the My 600 Lb Life John and Lonnie episode — and to find plenty of pics of the two of them from before and during filming.

MY 600 LB LIFE Tamy Lyn Murrell’s Where Are They Now episode finally has an airdate

It’s been a long time coming, but we’re finally getting an official My 600 Lb Life Tamy before and after update. Tamy Lyn Murrell’s oft-delayed Where Are They Now? episode at last has an airdate — and we have a couple big updates from Tamy herself ahead of the follow-up. Keep reading for the details, plus a new photo of Tamy with one of her My 600 Lb Life co-stars!

RHONJ Teresa and Joe Giudice split after more than 20 years together

A Teresa and Joe Giudice split has seemed all but inevitable for months, so it shouldn’t come as a galloping shock to learn that the two are done. Nonetheless, it was still a bit surprising to hear that the Real Housewives of New Jersey star decided to make the split from her recently deported husband tabloid-official so close to the holidays.

PHOTOS MY 600 LB LIFE Cynthia Wells vows recovery after setback: ‘Keep watching I’m not done’

It’s been a hard road back from obesity for My 600 Lb Life star Cynthia Wells. The Season 5 and Where Are They Now? participant has been hard on herself in a string of frank updates these last few months. But her latest photos offer reason for encouragement — so what does Cynthia Wells look like now? And will she be filming another episode anytime soon?

LINKS Oscar nominee Adam Sandler, Taylor Swift rejection, Below Deck drama…

LAINEY GOSSIPApparently we all need to get used to the phrase “Oscar nominee Adam Sandler,” since the release of Sandler (and indie studio A24)’s latest film, Uncut Gems, has only increased buzz about his seemingly inevitable acting nomination. As far as I’m concerned his career peaked when he drew a line in the sand at farting on a snare drum in Airheads (and I mean that with no disrespect)

CELEBITCHYTaylor Swift’s Lady Gaga Oscars moment will have to wait for some other year — “Beautiful Ghosts,” the song she co-wrote with Andrew Lloyd Weber for the Cats adaptation, was not included on the Academy’s shortlist of nominees for Best Song. Salt in the wound: There are fifteen songs on the shortlist, including two from The Lion King and several from movies you’ve likely never heard of

DLISTEDTo be fair to Adam Driver, there are few sounds more unpleasant to me than my own voice. So, just like Adam Driver, I definitely would have walked out of an interview with Terry Gross if she had played a clip of me singing anything. However, unlike Adam Driver, I’m not a movie star who has to in one sense talk (and sing) for a living. Deal with it, not-Vader
