VOX – To everyone’s surprise, Trump conceded the 2020 presidential election yesterday (on Twitter, of course), before everyone pointed out what he said and he tried to take it back. Of course, America’s current president acknowledged Joe Biden’s win in a sentence where he also claimed the election was rigged…but it’s a start

DLISTED – To no one’s surprise, it turns out Lil Pump — who you may remember endorsed America’s current president a couple of weeks before the election, and was then referred to at a rally as “Lil Pimp” — did not vote in the 2020 election and in fact is not registered to vote at all

CELEBITCHY – A week after having a weird-but-entertaining food meltdown on Twitter, Alton Brown would like you to know he is sorry for having a post-election meltdown on Twitter, during which he tried to joke about a coming American Holocaust, whether Americans would get to pick which concentration camps they get sent to, and how designer the uniforms will be

THE HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP – White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany is about three lies short of tying herself into a literal knot avoiding or obfuscating questions about the current president’s dwindling attempts at overturning the 2020 presidential election (the one the current president lost)

LAINEY GOSSIP – Emma Corrin’s outfit from The Crown Season 4 at-home premiere — a custom Miu Miu — is “is fire and ice and bombs and all of it and everything”

GO FUG YOURSELF – “Assuming People’s Sexiest Man Alive isn’t Gritty, or Steve Kornacki, or anyone else causing Twitter to erupt in the past week, Jason Momoa has a pretty good shot. His Super Bowl ad was one of the best. He’s in a ridiculous Apple+ show, See, that got a second season…he’s in Dune, and everyone else from Dune is getting a lot of cover attention right now; he’s doing an Aquaman sequel and a Justice League TV show of some ilk; he’s cultivated something of a He-Man With a Big Mushy Heart aura; and he was reigning champ John Legend’s suggestion”

Season 5 of The Real Housewives of Potomac has seen plenty of rumors about Monique Samuels getting fired for lashing out at Candiace Dillard. But now that filming is done, it looks like Candiace Dillard fired might be what fans finally see. According to a new report, Candiace is no longer a cast member following a surprise second fight she supposedly started with Ashley Darby.

Tributes to and tales about the late, great Alex Trebek have been pouring in since the Jeopardy! host’s passing last week at age 80. There have been some great recollections of the man, whose show business career spanned seven decades. But if you haven’t yet heard the Alex Trebek pot brownies story, you’re in for a real treat.

REALITY TEA – After suffering a miscarriage this past summer, former Vanderpump Rules star Scheana Shay has revealed that she’s pregnant again. Not only that, but we’ve just gotten a Scheana Shay gender reveal — complete with the requisite high-quality magazine photoshoot. Scheana says she’s “just excited to be having a healthy baby”

CELEBITCHY – According to at least two former senior White House aides — one of whom went on record — Melania Trump considers her marriage to America’s current president “over” and is ready to file divorce paperwork the second Joe Biden (who won the 2020 presidential election) assumes power from Melania’s still-husband (who lost)

JEZEBEL – Maria Bakalova, who plays Borat’s teenage daughter in the now-infamous sequel, won’t come right out and say if she thinks Rudy Giuliani was masturbating while in the room with her. But she does say that Sacha Baron Cohen, who broke up Bakalova and Giuliani’s scene, arrived “just in time”

VOX – And speaking of our current political situation: there are two big differences between what’s happening with the 2020 presidential election hangover and what happened in 2000. One is that the 2000 election was extremely close in one state, whereas 2020 is close-but-not-recount-close in five states. The other is that the current president is only “challenging handfuls of votes” — literally a few hundred in total — despite having lost in those five states by a combined total of about 131,000

THE BLAST – Evidently Kaley Cuoco thinks The Big Bang Theory‘s writers started putting more sex scenes between herself and Johnny Galecki after the two broke up, as a way of “messing with the two stars”

GO FUG YOURSELF – GFY’s throwbacks to 90s red carpets have been giving me life throughout this pandemic and this There’s Something About Mary premiere gallery is no exception

LAINEY GOSSIP – “In anticipation of its premiere on Disney+ later this winter, WandaVision covers Entertainment Weekly. Even though the profile bills EW’s access as “unprecedented”—there have been Marvel set visits before—this is a pretty standard cover feature for Marvel. They give away tidbits but hardly illuminate the whole project for fans”

DLISTED – A teenager who’s spent a fair bit of time over the past few years climbing things while naked decided to climb a 660-foot crane and then hang from the end of it — also naked — because he really wanted to do it before turning 20

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Lisa Barlow and her husband John have owned a successful tequila company for over a decade. But the couple is also Mormon — and Mormonism forbids any consumption of alcohol. So does Lisa Barlow drink? And what does ‘Mormon 2.0’ mean? According to Lisa herself, her faith doesn’t have to interfere with her business. But that faith may be tested when it comes into contact with the Real Housewives lifestyle…

REALITY TEA – You may recall that a few months ago, RHOP star Candiace Dillard spewed some hate at a DC-area blogger who sided with Monique in the pair’s fight. Apparently, Candiace knew that the blogger suffered from several medical issues, including seemingly serious kidney problems. And in a video response to his post on the fight, she said she hoped he “dropped dead.” Well, Candiace Dillard’s death wish has come true, because the blogger — whose name was Khyle Paylor — recently died. Candiace has yet to comment on Khyle’s death or her original comments

JEZEBEL – At first, it looked like the white Republican politician from Pennsylvania saying he was a “black gay guy” on Twitter had just forgotten to log into his burner account first. But then it turned out that the alleged burner account — which really did look fake as hell — belongs to a real black gay guy? And the black gay guy is also Patti LaBelle’s son? Twitter has gotten even weirder since the election

CELEBITCHY – It looks like the White House is still standing in name only. Apparently even the most die-hard staffers for America’s current president know he lost the election and that his legal challenges couldn’t stand up to a stiff breeze. The president himself remains in denial

THE BLAST – Britney Spears’ mother, Lynne Spears, says she agrees with Britney that Jamie Spears “should be removed as co-conservator of the singer’s estate.” Lynne’s lawyer has said as much in court in defense of Britney

LAINEY GOSSIP – So it looks like Dominic West is exactly as horrible a guy as everyone suspected. Weeks after news broke of his affair with his The Affair co-star Lily James — and the subsequent total sham photo shoot West cajoled his wife, Catherine Fitzgerald, into posing alongside him for — the couple’s marriage appears to be over. Catherine is apparently dropping Dominic like the skeleton of a bird she fished out of her dog’s mouth thinking it was a stick because “Lily means more to [Dominic] than just a fling.” I was less disgusted by the bird corpse

GO FUG YOURSELF – And now, some levity: “Oh, What the Hell, Let’s Look at More Hats”

DLISTED – Carl Lentz, the former pastor of Hillsong, was thrown out of his Bieber-tastic church after having a lengthy affair. Now, the woman with whom Lentz cheated is spilling her tea — and it sounds like he was just a wee bit manipulative

THE HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP – Kylie Jenner is the first Kardashian to reach the elusive 200 million follower plateau on Instagram. (She’s nowhere near the top — #1 is Christiano Ronaldo, with 242 million.) Raise your hand if you remember way back when she was just a little 50 million follower-tyke. She wasn’t even public with Tyga back then! Aah, they sure do grow up fast

VOX – Apparently Hillbilly Elegy is garbage, so this is a nice instance of the poster telling you exactly how good the movie will be

We’re only a couple of weeks removed from Kim Kardashian’s tone-deaf 40th birthday party on a private island. But Khloe Kardashian just gave us every reason to believe the family is set to one-up themselves on the decadence scale. It seems we should expect Kardashian Christmas Island 2020 for the holidays this year — yes, that’s right, the family is going to treat itself to its very own deserted island COVID-free getaway.
