It would seem that peace may reign across the land. But one crucial question remains unanswered: Did Chris Rock apologize to Jada Pinkett Smith? Now, I for one…
The 2022 Academy Awards had been a pretty lackluster affair for the first hour or two. It’s clear the Academy wants to turn its big night into the MTV Video Music Awards. They cut eight technical awards from the official presentation, insulting untold moviemakers and fans; they added fan-vote categories like Best Action Movie Whatever…
Matt Gaetz has been accused of sex trafficking by a far-reaching (and still-expanding) New York Times exposé.

As of this writing, Jen has yet to make a public statement on the matter. And her…
Writing about Josh Duggar coming back to TV would have been understandable yesterday. After all, what better day than April Fool’s to posit that possibly the most notorious former reality TV star in the history of the genre could be getting another gig? But it’s not April Fool’s anymore, so just prepare yourself for the…
Chicagoan Kayla Eubanks has gained viral infamy thanks to a low-cut halter top and a stream of indignant Southwest Airlines employees who deemed her prominent cleavage in violation of the company’s decency policy. The woman booted from flight was allowed to board only after the pilot loaned Eubanks his own shirt — which Eubanks took…
It looks like NeNe Leakes and Andy Cohen might be getting back to playing nice — if only for the cameras. Just days after NeNe went on a truly impressive Twitter tirade, accusing Andy of outright racism and Wendy Williams of being a cocaine-fueled degenerate, it seems NeNe has asked Bravo for a sitdown to…
Since the passing of My 600 Lb Life star Coliesa McMillian last week, her family has been overwhelmed by an outpouring of support on Coliesa’s social media pages.

She’s been a divisive cast member for fans ever since her debut appearance yielded almost no weight loss — but she’s now claiming nearly unprecedented weight loss success since leaving the show.

Real Housewives of Potomac star Candiace Dillard has offered a lengthy response to the people who “may have been offended” by her decade-old homophobic tweets.

RuPaul — or someone very close to the icon — chose the beginning of the recent holiday weekend to do an unexpected social media purge. And by “purge,” we mean “total eradication.” As of this writing, RuPaul is no longer active on Twitter at all; the account @rupaul simply doesn’t exist. Over on Instagram, RuPaul’s…
One of My 600 Lb Life‘s most controversial cast members is celebrating some surprise good news — and fighting off plenty of detractors who say that Schenee is once again lying about a major development.

For now, it looks like news of Live PD canceled is the last word on the matter — but there’s a huge unspoken catch about the future of the show. Though A&E just announced it’s stopped production on Live PD and pulled reruns of the police documentary from its schedule, Live PD is also the…
For almost two years, Kylie Jenner has been lauded and excoriated for her status as one of the world’s youngest billionaires.

It sure looks like the unthinkable is about to happen on Southern Charm Season 7. Thomas Ravenel and Kathryn Dennis, who’ve been in the tumultuous, legal-and-drug-problems, “off-again” phase of their relationship far longer than the baby-making “on-again” part, appear to be getting back together and angling for a return to the show. The gossip about…

It’s a dramatic scene for sure: a platoon of black FBI sedans streaming into the Duggar family’s Arkansas compound in the middle of the night, the agents themselves swarming up the front steps almost before their cars have come to a stop. Their target is Josh Duggar, who’s apparently done something wrong again. It might…

There’s a new wrinkle in the story behind one of the most famous tabloid images of all time.

Esther Tognozzi, the owner of the salon where Britney did the deed, shared…
Controversial My 600 Lb life star Schenee Murry is back with another round of weight loss claims, and she’s shared a twerking video to try and prove them.

Schenee was rather infamously kicked out of…

Did you know that there are five banned wagers on Jeopardy? I sure didn’t, and I’ve been shouting at contestants from the comfort of my couch for as long as I can remember. But it turns out that there are, and that if I were smart enough to be on Jeopardy in the first place…

In our Angela Gutierrez 600 Pound…
The eighth and final season of Game of Thrones has been, to put it gently, something of a shitshow. Three of the five episodes that have aired so far are among the four lowest-rated in the show’s history. Character development got sacrificed in favor of spectable. An errant craft services cup got left in a…
Louis CK has never been a completely guilt-free experience, and he himself has never wanted to be. Some of his best-known comedy includes bits on hateful language; playful racism; dead babies; and, in the case of his 2010 special Hilarious, a riff on having sex with dead children. This may sound damning, after the couple…

She’s claimed both African and Latina ancestry in the past, but a new clip featuring some of Veronica’s family members has LHHMiami fans wondering once more: Is Veronica Vega black?

It’s been over three years since the worst of Josh Duggar’s scandals almost erased the Duggar family from the reality TV landscape.

It’s been a year of controversy for Blac Chyna. Months ago, she and her crew got into a brawl at Six Flags when another mother came too close to baby Dream for Blac’s liking; the resulting fight, in which Blac hurled a stroller at the woman, lost her a high-profile stroller endorsement. (Yes, the stroller…

It’s been a rough couple of years for the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which since the election of Donald Trump has become almost synonymous with the vandalism directed at Trump’s star.

For the second time in two years, someone took a heavy object to Donald Trump’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and smashed it to bits. But getting one isn’t exactly the honor most people seem to think it is. How do you get a star on the Walk of Fame? The answer involves…
R. Kelly just dropped a new song called — wait for it — “I Admit.” The 19-minute track is addressed to all the haters and naysayers who’ve come forward with sexual assault, brainwashing, and sex cult allegations against him over the last few years. And Kelly uses the song’s eight extended verses to admit his…
Witness the now world-famous giant Donald Trump balloon baby in action earlier today.

Trump…
