LINKS Bieber backs out, Scheana Marie exposes bully, Tarantino’s ‘Star Trek’…
THE BLAST – It turns out Justin Bieber isn’t as stupid as he looks
REALITY TEA – Vanderpump Rules star Scheana Marie exposed a particularly odious cyberbully who sent her a DM on Instagram advising Scheana to kill herself via overdose
DLISTED – The long-rumored pairing is becoming a reality: Quentin Tarantino is indeed working on a Star Trek movie. Which would be an interesting choice, should he choose to direct, as Tarantino’s next movie will be his tenth and he’s long said he’ll retire at ten. And yes, there will be plenty of Tarantino-esque swearing, Star Trek movie or no
CELEBITCHY – This sounds like at least some light treason
GO FUG YOURSELF – The Blemish has the best headlines as a rule but this one from GFY is my favorite for today
THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – “EXCLUSIVE! Married at First Sight Expert Dr. Pepper Breaks Down Her Home Visit Strategy in Sneak Peek Season 9 Clip”
JEZEBEL – If you’re Bryan Singer, alleged rape only costs $150,000
THE BLEMISH – I’m shocked, shocked to find out that the Amish man who stole a neighbor’s car specifically so he could go get drunk did not in fact know how to drive the car and totaled it
LAINEY GOSSIP – For reasons that aren’t entirely clear but appear to have something to do with the Super Bowl, the Oscars are going to be way earlier than usual in 2020 before returning to their usual late February slot in 2021 and 2022. The Oscars’ schedule change means all the other big awards shows have to change their schedules, too; it’s basically a game of musical chairs with hot grease on the floor
VOX – “Men in Black: International is charming and fun but squanders the chance to tell a richer story: Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth are great, and so are their gadgets and gizmos. But that’s really all there is.”
