DLISTED – The beef between Meek Mill and Vanessa Bryant appears to be over — Meek announced on Twitter that he’d apologized to Vanessa “in private” after she criticized his (honestly pretty lazy) lyrics referencing / disrespecting Kobe Bryant’s death in a helicopter crash. Vanessa has yet to address the apology, though

REALITY TEA – In Bryant news of a different sort, RHOP star Gizelle Bryant is stirring up that cross-Housewives pot with some words for Real Housewives of Salt Lake City breakout star Mary Cosby. Or, more specifically, for Mary and — you guessed it! — her always-fascinating marriage to her step-grandfather Robert

CELEBITCHY – Eddie Murphy talked to Essence about Coming to America 2 and said he “didn’t want to do…a bad sequel to a movie that a lot of people” love. But that…kind of sounds like a lukewarm endorsement of the sequel?

THE BLAST – Kelly Dodd denied she’s been fired from Real Housewives of Orange County, and honestly, if it didn’t happen in the immediate aftermath of her latest thoughtless comments, it’s probably not going to happen at all

JEZEBEL – It seems the Golden Globes are guilty of what industry insiders have long termed a little light corruption. An LA Times investigation revealed the Hollywood Foreign Press Association turns studio luxury junkets into nominations for preferred shows and movies, which is why the universally reviled Emily In Paris will be featured during the ceremony and the beloved Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom will not

LAINEY GOSSIP – The HFPA and Golden Globes organizers have to be secretly thrilled with this development, though. In a year when nobody went to see movies and an era when awards show ratings are slipping, what could be better for this week’s ceremony than some red hot controversy?

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – We’ve got our first look at WeTV’s upcoming Mama June: Road to Redemption, which premieres in a little less than a month. Highlights include June “finally” going to rehab and her psychiatrist telling her she’s “out of [her] mind” for thinking she should be in her daughters’ lives right now

VOX – In case you needed another reason to never, ever use apps, here’s a good one: “App trackers secretly sell your location data to the government. App stores won’t stop them”

LAINEY GOSSIP – Meghan Markle has won her lawsuit against Associated Newspapers, the parent company of the Daily Mail, which a court found violated Meghan’s “privacy and copyright” by publishing a letter to her shameless grifter father Thomas. It turns out this is also the second case the DM has lost against the Markles in the past two weeks. I wouldn’t expect a tabloid to change its behavior, but the legal precedents are good

DLISTED – Apparently Bruce Springsteen’s DWI arrest should never have happened, since he only blew a .02 and New Jersey’s legal limit is .08. What I still don’t understand is, given his legal blood-alcohol level, how exactly Springsteen was arrested in the first place

JEZEBEL – If, over the past year, you’ve been put in the delicious-yet-unfortunate position of wondering whether it’s okay to tell a mask-shunning friend who caught COVID “I told you so,” has Jezebel got an advice column for you

VOX – Finally, if you’ve been anticipating the third To All the Boys movie, the first reviews are coming in. Like this one: “This movie is just okay. It’s nothing more than that”

CELEBITCHY – There’s a ton of Bridgerton Season 2 gossip out there, because surprisingly Netflix has yet to answer the question everyone’s asking: Will the show be renewed? (Seriously, Netflix, what’s the holdup?)

DLISTED – Thanks to “an incredible surge in Tesla’s stock price,” Elon Musk is now the richest person in the world. It’s a close race — Musk’s $185 billion is just a smidge higher than Jeff Bezos’ $184 — but a year ago Musk was *only* worth $27 billion. I have no idea what Tesla does

REALITY TEA – “This! This is the episode I’ve been waiting to see on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. After weeks of personal storylines and lots of behind-the-back gossiping, the drama finally erupted in the 801. And it was all thanks to Whitney Rose”

JEZEBEL – And in pseudo-celebrity news, Britney Spears’ three-day husband Jason Alexander was a part of that riot. It’s not clear how big a part Jason played, though, as despite talking a big game before things got serious he’s been pretty quiet on social media since

THE BLAST – Danielle Busby of TLC’s quintuplet hit Outdaughtered is out of the hospital and feeling better after a mysterious recurring pain drove her to seek medical attention. Trouble is, it seems doctors haven’t yet been able to identify the source of the pain

THE HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP – “Angelina Pivarnick to Jersey Shore Cast: I Ain’t as Evil as Youse Guys Think!”

LAINEY GOSSIP – It seems Nicholas Cage’s brand-new television series The History of Swear Words is like a less entertaining version of “those old VH-1 clip shows that were popular 20 years ago,” in that it relies heavily on comedians to spit punchlines about the swear words in question instead of actually explaining the history behind those words

GO FUG YOURSELF – Remember when teeny tiny sweaters were a fashion triend (for a minute back in the mid-aughts)? Somehow they look even more ill-conceived now

Over the last few series, Paul Hollywood’s propensity for handshake praise appears to have increased dramatically. With that increase has come a rash of criticism — but how many handshakes has Paul given on The Great British Baking Show? When did the Hollywood Handshake start? And is Paul really still shaking hands at a furious clip? Read on for the details of each of Paul’s handshakes, which even he has acknowledged might be a bit too common.

According to the woman herself, she’s been slipping — but she has a plan to get back on track.

JEZEBEL – Georgia Republicans have their knives out for each other — a week after the state’s two senators called for Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to resign because Raffensperger didn’t throw the election hard enough for the party, Raffensperger now claims Lindsey “Spine” Graham asked whether it was possible for the SoS to simply discard thousands of absentee ballots

CELEBITCHY – It seems Prince William is a touch upset by the latest season of The Crown, otherwise known as The Season With All The Relevant Modern Gossip. Don’t look now, but a member of the British royal family is angry over the past being depicted in a less-than-flattering light

THE HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP – In other royal news, Queen Elizabeth’s heart was allegedly “broken” by Prince Harry’s decision to move to America with his bride. I can’t imagine why Harry and Meaghan didn’t want to stay in England and deal with…*gestures at everything*

REALITY TEA – Former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville wants it known once and for all that she did not have a threesome involving co-star Kim Richards. (Though Brandi did acknowledge that Kim’s “30lb cat” sometimes sleeps on her chest, which kind of sounds like more than just a euphemism?)

VOX – “How shifting from meat-heavy to plant-based diets can help allay the climate crisis: A new study shows that moving to a plant-based diet is critical, but governments have been slow to act”
