Read on for audio of the call in question, plus a breakdown of the charges against Jen and an explanation of what (she says) she does for a living.

REALITY TEA – All these rumors about Dorinda Medley returning to Real Housewives of New York probably have nothing to do with the fact that her book is coming out soon. (If it’s half as entertaining as Sharon Stone’s, we’re in for a treat!) To be fair to her publisher, Dorinda signed up to write a memoir just before getting fired from the show — so a lot of the rumors are probably Simon & Schuster plants

THE HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP – Kim Kardashian says one of the best things about her impending divorce from Kanye West is he no longer criticizes her for walking around naked in her living room. If we knew Kim took a page from the Alanis Morissette Guide to Life, we’d have predicted their divorce much sooner

VOX – “When will teens and kids be able to get the Covid-19 vaccines? It may still be a while. Here’s what parents can do in the meantime while their kids aren’t vaccinated and others are”

LAINEY GOSSIP – It sounds like Rami Malek maybe overreacted a little bit when Rachel Bilson shared a cute picture of the two of them being dorks together back in high school a million years before they were anything like famous. Hopefully Rachel gets a private and sincere apology instead of any kind of public one

GO FUG YOURSELF – I’ve been on a late quarantine Mad Men kick lately, so this article on January Jones’ SAG Awards look back in 2013 hits just right

DLISTED – Did you know there’s a movie coming out based on a bonkers Twitter thread from 2015? It’s called Zola, there’s a trailer, and in case you’re like me and hadn’t ever seen the original thread you need to do yourself a favor and click through to read it

CELEBITCHY – Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz of Florida is defending himself — sort of — against a report that he paid for the travel of 17-year-old while also having sex with that 17-year-old.

VOX – Yesterday, New York became the fifteenth state to legalize the sale & growth of marijuana. I’m sure the legalization bill’s passage and Andrew Cuomo’s quick signature had nothing to do with the multiple claims of sexual misconduct against the Governor, or the allegations that he covered up COVID deaths in nursing homes. Anyway, edibles!

REALITY TEA – RHOA star and mainstay Porsha Williams says she’s already done trying to make nice with LaToya Ali. LaToya has definitely brought the heat in her first season, and normally I would wonder whether she’s making too many enemies…but then I remember Jen Shah

THE HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP – Jim Bob Duggar is buying newly engaged family members houses now? I wonder what dirt Jed and his fiancé Katey Nakatsu have on him. All Jill got was a few grand in back pay and she had to hire a lawyer to get that

CELEBITCHY – One detail about Lil Nas X’s latest ventures that I somehow overlooked until now? His tie-in with current most popular song in the world “Montero” is a line of shoes literally called “Satan Shoes.” And the air bubble soles have the man’s blood mixed into them like a Kiss comic book

JEZEBEL – It’s a few days old now, but this story about how Prince William is (very, very apparently) the Sexiest Bald Man In The World had the best headline
