LINKS! Brienne of Tarth in a dress, Influencers ruining everything, Jordyn Woods gets rich…
DLISTED – Basically the entire Game of Thrones cast, past and present, got together in New York City for the Season 8 premiere. And the clear winner — for fashion, buzz, poise, everything — was Gwendoline Christie, whose appearance as Brienne of Tarth in a dress that looks made of fire and clouds could have come from the show itself with no changes
JEZEBEL – Instagram influencers, already one of the most grating groups of people on the planet, are ruining public lands in search of the best possible product placement shot. And at least a couple of increasingly popular, anonymous accounts are calling them out for it
THE BLAST – It turns out that *not* keeping up with the Kardashians can be lucrative, too: apparently Jordyn Woods is making serious bank on her overseas promo tour
CELEBITCHY – Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin both appeared in federal court yesterday to face charges in the college admissions scandal. It seems neither woman will be able to take a simple plea deal and disappear from the public eye for awhile, though, as both their plea deals require at least some time in prison
LAINEY GOSSIP – It seems I need to spend more time reading about the Royal Family, because something called “Turnipgate” is a real live drama in Britain. (To be fair, it’s technically being called the “Turnip toffs,” as the “-gate” suffix is distinctly American)
THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – “MTV Announces The Hills: New Beginnings Premiere Date: Watch the First Nostalgia-Laced Trailer”
THE BLEMISH – Every new detail about the Cats movie musical has me further convinced that it will be the absolute train wreck the world needs right now
REALITY TEA – “Dolores Catania Shocked Teresa Giudice Is Considering Split From Joe Giudice; Wonders If Sex Will Help Them Stay Together” (I’m guessing the answer is “No, but it will make them temporarily happier”)
VOX – If you’ve noticed your beer looking and tasting more like juice lately, you’ll be glad to know there’s a reason why
