CELEBITCHY – It seems the Duke of Hastings was always going to be a one-shot: the rumors of Rege-Jean Page moving on from Bridgerton after just one season are in fact true. Page said he knew all along that his character would only be present in Bridgerton‘s first season — partly because producers told him so, partly because the Duke’s storyline is really only present in the first book the series is based on — and that he’s totally fine with it

THE BLAST – According to several new reports, DMX’s heart actually stopped three separate times after his alleged overdose this past weekend, and paramedics had to revive him “three different times,” including once after he’d arrived at the hospital via ambulance

REALITY TEA – Below Deck Mediterranean star and general MC Captain Sandy Yawn is dishing on the best chefs in the Below Deck universe. It’s really refreshing to have what would be fightin’ words in any other reality franchise — “X is better than Y, full stop” — be just kind of standard information, because the captain is the captain and who’s challenging her?

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – Jax Taylor says it’s his bookkeeper’s fault he owes $1.2 million in back taxes (probably not inaccurate) and also that Bravo “made a good decision” firing him from Vanderpump Rules (wait, what?)

JEZEBEL – Objectivity is too complicated a concept for readers steeped in 21st century partisan fighting to appreciate, let alone understand. Which is to say the promise of objective journalism was never a sincere one

THE HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP – One of Khloe Kardashian’s assistants accidentally posted an un-Photoshopped bikini pic of Khloe to her social media. Now, Khloe’s team is scrambling to get the picture off of the internet — though it’s really not clear why they would even try, since a) that’s impossible and b) untouched Khloe pics are going to endear her to way more people than will mock her for them

GO FUG YOURSELF – Viola Davis is now the Best Actress Oscar frontrunner, for her performance in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom; and, if there was any doubt: yes, she does look good playing the awards circuit

VOX – Don’t use Amazon

DLISTED – The opening sentence says it all: “Joss Whedon is a dick.” And now there’s even more proof of it

LAINEY GOSSIP – Is it that The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is kind of a grind to get through, or is it that everyone was so blown away by WandaVision that the next thing was always going to seem unsatisfying by comparison?

One of the most awe-inspiring journeys in My 600 Lb Life history may well have come to an end. Season 7 star Justin McSwain appeared to bid farewell to the show, capping off his weight loss success with a Where Are They Now? episode for the ages. But what about the Justin McSwain skin surgery? And what is Justin’s total weight loss? Read on for the latest — plus some obligatory jaw-dropping weight loss photos!

If you’re looking for a My 600 Lb Life Brianne 2021 update, you might accidentally miss this one. We’ve used the word “unrecognizable” to describe My 600 Lb Life cast members before — but Brianne might have the most stunning transformation we’ve ever seen. Keep reading for the latest pics and divorce details from the Season 7 star, whose follow-up episode is finally scheduled to air!

THE BLAST – The latest DMX update following his overdose is unfortunately more of the same. DMX is still showing “limited brain activity” and doctors are apparently giving him a 50-50 chance of pulling through

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – Tori Spelling faked a pregnancy on April Fool’s day and is now suffering the clapback from angered fans. Tori says she did it to get back at the tabloids for all the body-shaming she’s endured over the years; this seems like not the best way to go about achieving that goal

GO FUG YOURSELF – The 2021 SAG Awards were last night. They still weren’t a real awards show, because there still is a real pandemic. So, in lieu of a proper red carpet, enjoy this gallery of current nominees’ past fashions

REALITY TEA – Vanderpump Rules star Billie Lee says her co-star Jax Taylor is “usually on drugs” during filming. No offense at all to Jax or to any #PumpRules fans, but didn’t we kind of assume that already?

CELEBITCHY – Speaking of which: when it comes to Duchess Kate, the British tabloids are high on some real, real good shit

VOX – Although a subcontractor in charge of the factory ruined fifteen million Johnson & Johnson COVID vaccines, the company says it’s still going to be able to make its promised delivery targets

JEZEBEL – Clean your bird feeders

THE HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP – RIP to Linda Torres, best known to reality stars as a good friend to and occasional co-star alongside former Mob Wives star Big Ang. Last week, Linda died at age 67, after battling COVID-19 for just over two months

LAINEY GOSSIP – Natalie Portman can definitely rock a pair of jean shorts. Which reminds me: summer’s coming

DLISTED – Evidently cravy wasn’t just a decent April Fool’s joke? For some reason, Heinz and Ocean Spray are marketing cravy — which is a combination of cranberry sauce and *shudders* gravy — as a real thing which you will really be able to buy soon. Hopefully you’ll really just walk past it in the grocery store, instead

Matt Gaetz has been accused of sex trafficking by a far-reaching (and still-expanding) New York Times exposé. The Florida Republican hasn’t said much publicly since the Times published its first piece. But one thing the Matt Gaetz social media manager made sure of was a post featuring multiple photos of Gaetz with a group of underage girls.

The unique living situation of My 600 Lb Life Season 8 star Dominic Hernandez means it’s been quite a while since we’ve gotten a My 600 Lb Life Dominic update. Dominic and his brother James are the first homeless members of the show’s cast. As such, news on the two of them is often hard to find. But we’ve been able to get some new information — read on for the latest.

Duggar family fans and haters alike were both shocked to see Anna Duggar return to reality TV. The former 19 Kids and Counting star made her first Counting On appearance in six years this week. And Anna’s return has sparked new concerns about Josh Duggar coming back as well.

CELEBITCHY – It seems there are new Matt Gaetz allegations, because one count each of sex trafficking and having sex with a minor weren’t enough. The Florida Republican congressman is apparently under investigation for *multiple* counts of each, and somehow his father got involved in a separate but potentially related bribery scheme? To quote Kaiser: “Florida politics, man”

THE BLAST – If you’re one of the lucky 666 customers to have purchased a pair of Lil Nas X’s satan sneakers — the ones with human blood in them! — you’ll have to wait awhile before your order gets fulfilled. A judge has halted shipment of the shoes so Nike’s lawsuit against their (the shoes’) manufacturer can go forward

JEZEBEL – Let those among us who have not sucked a lover’s finger in public in the era of surreptitious cell phone videos cast the first stone

VOX – Here’s how apps and websites and all manner of third parties trick you into giving your information away

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – Patricia Altschul of Southern Charm offered fans an update on the health of her butler, Michael Kelcourse, who suffered a horrible spinal cord stroke earlier this year but is apparently “progressing rapidly” in his recovery

GO FUG YOURSELF – Another day, another stellar GFY throwback photo gallery: “We’ve Got Sheers, Sideboob, a Serious Sleeve, and Strange Slits: It’s More from the SAGs Vault”

LAINEY GOSSIP – Pretty much every review of Godzilla vs. King Kong that I’ve seen says the movie is delightful trashy escapism, so it’s nice to hear that at least one thing in the world is working correctly

REALITY TEA – The insult parade between RHONJ stars Jennifer Aydin and Margaret Josephs shows no signs of slowing

DLISTED – Young Joc’s beard looks about as convincing as Carlos Boozer’s Bulls-era hairline

THE HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP – Tyler Baltierra says his sister Amber is drinking herself to death while isolated from the rest of the family
