REALITY TEA – NeNe Leakes told a group of people at her Atlanta lounge about her husband Gregg Leakes dying at the couple’s Atlanta home.

THE BLAST – Those rumors about Kim Kardashian dating Van Jones appear to have been put to rest by Van himself. The CNN anchor went on record calling the notion “absurd” — and, as a true good sport, Jones added that the story “was flattering for me, but it probably wasn’t flattering for her”

THE HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP – Someone billing himself as a “royal expert” believes that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will be “forgotten” within a decade

THE GIST – Netflix’s new original series The Chair is “a marvel” that manages to engage with “a number of charged, highly polarizing topics without aligning with any of them or ascribing ‘rightness’ to any particular side.” (Three hours is a pretty steep price to pay for academic drama, but the cast is great, as well)

DLISTED – Kevin Spacey? got cast in a new movie?? and that movie is currently filming him playing a part in scenes and stuff???

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – Anna Cardwell, Mama June’s estranged daughter, says she’s “worried” that her mom’s relationship with a 24-year-old TikTok star might be motivated by that 24-year-old just wanting money. He grew up in a world obsessed with Mama June’s mistakes, many of them financial — of course this guy is in it for the money

LAINEY GOSSIP – “What a time to be Simu Liu,” star of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. The Chinese-Canadian actor is popping up everywhere, and somehow “maintaining a level of enthusiasm you’d expect from someone who is taking on this kind of spotlight as his life, literally, is changing in real time, no exaggeration.”

GO FUG YOURSELF – Rachel Zegler, star of the upcoming West Side Story remake, is enjoying the three months until the movie’s release and inevitable whitewashing / colorism backlash. She’s in an amazing red dress on the cover of this month’s Town & Country

CELEBITCHY – Christy Carlson Romano made millions as a child star on Kim Possible and Even Stevens. Now she’s sharing the story of how she lost almost all of it — and almost lost her family to boot — as a cautionary tale for other child actors

JEZEBEL – After reading this article on the “weird underbelly of amusement parks” I’m pretty sure I’m never riding another roller coaster as long as I live

CELEBITCHY – Simone Biles has been so thoroughly dominant a gymnast for so long that the Simone Biles withdraws news is the most shocking sports story of the year. The 24-year-old GOAT announced her withdrawal from the team event due to a “mental health issue” that left her “freaking out” during the final. No word on whether Simone will withdraw from the rest of the Olympics; hopefully, she and the rest of the team can step back and take a breath

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – Despite swearing off reality TV just last month, Tamar Braxton is coming back for some of those sweet docuseries dollars. This time, the 44-year-old will star VH1’s reboot of The Surreal Life, debuting this autumn. Tamar’s co-stars include Dennis Rodman, Stormy Daniels, and Frankie “Malcolm in the Middle” Muniz

REALITY TEA – It seems Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Dorit Hemsley and her husband PK owe the IRS a combined $1.3 million in unpaid taxes. The “unpaid” part allegedly goes back as far as 2015. I thought it these two had worked out some kind of a deal with the IRS a year or two ago?

VOX – Today, in Earth-saving Olympic news: “Our bodies can adapt to hotter conditions — but there’s a limit: Here’s what Olympic athletes can teach us about coping with heat waves”

JEZEBEL – It’s been a foregone conclusion for months now, but Britney Spears has finally made her conservatorship requests official. On Monday, Spears’ lawyer filed a formal request for the removal of Jamie Spears from Britney’s conservatorship

DLISTED – Pink has offered to pay the fines of the Norwegian womens handball team. The team was docked $1,700 for a violation of European Handball Federation (EHF) rules by refusing to play in bikini bottoms. Not really clear why the men are allowed to play in shorts and the women aren’t; hopefully the Norwegian men will play their next match in Speedos to show solidarity

THE BLAST – Breaking: Scott Disick dates younger women

LAINEY GOSSIP – “Bennifer gave gossip exactly the kind of glow we needed this weekend with JLo’s birthday in St Tropez where they ostensibly recreated the “Jenny From The Block” video and loved themselves up on a yacht. By now, I’m sure, everyone has seen those photos…and now here are some new ones…”

GO FUG YOURSELF – I completely missed the Olympics’ Opening Ceremony this year, mostly because of the Ted Lasso premiere, but also because of the extreme time difference. If you’re like me, GFY’s “Better Late Than Never” Opening Ceremony photo gallery is a welcome way to play catch-up

THE HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP – “Shanna Moakler’s Revenge: I’m Gonna Pawn All the Crap Travis Barker Bought Me!”

DLISTED – “For five seasons, Alec Baldwin covered his face in the most uneven application of MAC NC45, stuck a dry piece of fiberglass insulation to his head, and squeezed his mouth into an FCC-approved butt hole to play former President Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live.” Multiple inside sources recently alleged that Donald was so upset about the mocking skits that he asked if the Department of Justice could do something about them, but Donlad denies the allegations. (He can’t deny his tweet about having the “Federal Election Commission and/or FCC look into” the satirical skits.)

REALITY TEA – The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne was married to one of the biggest snakes in the history of the U.S. legal system, but she wants us to take a look at the other little snakes who are allegedly “feeding bad info” to the media about her.

CELEBITCHY – Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson continue their on-again, off-again, on-again, off-again, on-again relationship with yet another compound adjective addition. The latest update on the couple has them in off-again status.

THE BLEMISH – If you’re curious why Kylie Jenner (and as a result, hundreds of thousands of other women) got lip fillers, she says it was because of some douche she kissed in high school who told her she had “such small lips.”

xoNECOLE – OWN’s popular relationship coaching reality series Put A Ring On It returns for a second season on Friday, June 25, and xoNecole has everything you need to know about the three couples featured this season!

REALITEASQUAD – “For a lot of viewers, myself included, Angela [Deem] crossed a line in this past episode of 90 Day fiancé. The way she treats Michael is unacceptable. In my opinion, TLC should completely cut ties with her for her escalating problematic behavior.”

DLISTED – “When it hasn’t been your day, your week, your month, or even your year…” HBO’ll be there for you! With a Friends Reunion special!! The Friends Reunion premieres next week and HBO has released the emotional preview trailer!

REALITY TEA – Luann de Lesseps has moved past the Countess phase in her life, and now she hopes to move on to the Playboy bunny phase. Apparently unaware that OnlyFans has cut out the middle man when it comes to publishing softcore photographs, Luann recently revealed that she would love to pose for the bunny zine.

CELEBITCHY – Duchess Meghan Markle is all about stealing Princess Eugenie’s thunder with birth announcements, but now Eugenia’s sister, Princess Beatrice, has returned the favor by announcing her pregnancy on Meghan and Prince Harry’s third wedding anniversary! So much blueblood shade!

THE BLEMISH – There’s no doubt that America Republicans were severely disappointed that their favorite candidate lost the 2020 Presidential election. But there’s still reason for hope because Kaye West hasn’t ruled out running again in 2024!

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – It seems the wall between the Unitd States and Mexico isn’t the only wall the Duggars support! Jim Bob is reportedly worried about Josh Duggar’s safety, and he plans to build a fence around the house where he is staying until his child pornography trial is over.

THE GRACE REPORT – Video recap of this week’s Teen Mom 2 episode. Includes Florida deadbeat Louis ghosting his daughter Stella for the millionth time, $500k + per year Leah Messer confessing to not having health insurance, Ashley Jones toying with the idea of not having a wedding, Jade Cline moving out of her house like a thief in the night, and Kailyn Lowry continuing to pretend Nathalie isn’t her live-in nanny.

REALITEASQUAD – Is Anna Duggar a fit parent? “By now news of Josh’s arrest has been circulating the interwebs. Given the IBLP doctrine and Anna’s track record of standing by her man, many are concerned of her ability to supervise Josh.”

CELEBITCHY – Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are firmly in the “lovey-dovey making everyone around them sick but also it’s kind of cute” relationship stage. Yesterday was her 42nd birthday, so Travis went over the top filling his love’s house with a few gardens’ worth of Kourtney Kardashian’s birthday flowers. Kourtney responded by taking Travis’ left thumb’s flower on his IG story

JEZEBEL – The podcast Your Own Backyard may have helped catch the person responsible for Kristin Smart’s 1996 disappearance. Two people — a former classmate of Kristin’s, plus the classmate’s father — have been arrested for murder and accessory to murder, thanks to new information the podcast unearthed in 2019

REALITY TEA – “This is it folks! The last regular episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta has arrived. The season started out rockier than ever, but things have picked up in a big way lately. Somebody pray for LaToya Ali because according to Drew Sidora, she has committed the ultimate sin. She’s openly accusing her of sleeping with Prophet Lott. Why is whatever relationship they may or may not have any of her business? Make it make sense”

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – Jinger and Jeremy Vuolo revealed they’ve stopped posting photos and videos of their kids online because their youngest has health issues and because they want “to give them a bit more privacy while they’re so young.” Normally this wouldn’t have caused a fuss, but because it’s a Duggar family member, and Duggars post endless proof that they’ve been breeding, the kids’ absence from social media became A Thing

GO FUG YOURSELF – I have to say that while the actors in the House of Gucci paparazzi shots all look like beautiful glamorous actors, the locations themselves look…drab? Maybe because it was winter when we started getting on-set pics?

THE HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP – Speaking of social media normality, Kailyn Lowry has been caught more or less “creeping” on Briana DeJesus’ Instagram page, thanks to what we can only assume was a little pre-caffeine slipup

LAINEY GOSSIP – “…We are here to discuss one thing and one thing only: Hot Tig Notaro. After the trailer dropped the internet was ablaze with flame emojis as #HotTig started trending. Because Tig, who has always been quite foxy, popped up in the Army of the Dead trailer looking like this”

VOX – Here’s why “routine traffic stops” — also known as “pretext traffic stops” — are such a nefarious thing, and why they likely don’t do anything to make roads safer

DLISTED – I have no idea what is happening with this headline or the thing in this photograph, which doesn’t look like either thing the headline suggests it looks like

THE BLAST – Johnny Depp is scraping the bottom of the rum barrel

CELEBITCHY – Congrats to everyone who had Colton Underwood comes out on their pandemic bingo cards. The former Bachelor star told Good Morning America that the past year has given him the chance to really reflect and come to terms with some things about himself, and that he’s now ready to announce he’s gay

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – Former #PumpRules stars Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright revealed that Brittany gave birth to their first child this past Monday. Cruz Michael was born Monday afternoon in Los Angeles; mother and son are both healthy

THE BLAST – Courtney Stodden has to wonder about timing — the evening before Colton’s big GMA interview, Courtney took to Instagram to announce that they’re gender non-binary and their preferred pronouns are now the ones we’ve been using in this sentence about them

REALITY TEA – Marlo Hampton says the current season of Real Housewives of Atlanta was a “snoozefest” and the show needs Phaedra Parks back. Not sure about the latter but the former is definitely true — especially considering all the buzz and build-up and male stripper dicks we were teased with

LAINEY GOSSIP – Apparently, the Oscars are going to be “more like a cocktail party” this year, but the producers are also “focus[ed] on making this thing feel like a film”? I can’t picture those two things together, necessarily, but I have to say it sounds intriguing. And there’s at least one movie I’m excited to see before the ceremony itself!

VOX – This is the second glowing review for Gold Diggers, the debut novel by Sanjena Sathian, that I’ve seen in a week. And frankly, a story that “uses heists and alchemy to deconstruct immigrant ambition, striving, and sin” sounds pretty terrific

JEZEBEL – Gonna let the headline speak for this one: “Did Usher Tip Strippers With Fake Money With His Face Printed On It? An Investigation”

GO FUG YOURSELF – Elton John’s classic song “Rocket Man” came out 50 years ago yesterday. But William Shatner’s iconic rendition — brought to the attention of a new generation thanks to Stewie Griffin’s cover — is still only 43

DLISTED – I really do wonder what young celebrity marriages are like. If Justin Bieber thinks his first year of marriage to Hailey Baldwin was “tough,” I wonder exactly how much your emotional relationship (and maturity) is complicated by having to be in different places all the time and never getting to spend that much time together just doing simple boring wonderful stuff?

THE HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP – Another strong headline: “Lauryn Shannon: I Can’t Get a Job Because Mama June Smokes Crack!”

CELEBITCHY – Prince Philip’s death has a whole bunch of monarchical knives coming out, some of them in pathetic ways. Like this one: Prince Andrew, who was basically exiled from public life in 2019 after it became clear he was in some sort of cahoots with Jeffrey Epstein, is now leveraging his father’s death to make himself look like a savior for coming to his mother’s side

JEZEBEL – Also piggybacking on Prince Philip’s death: racist media outlets on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Stateside, Fox News is more or less accusing Oprah of murdering Philip, since it was her interview with Meghan and Harry that led, directly and unequivocally, to the 99-year-old ailing man’s death

VOX – Meanwhile, tabloids in the UK are using Philip’s passing to accuse Meghan Markle of the same thing. And once again, in case it’s not clear, that “thing” is straight-up murdering a 99-year-old man in failing health with the deadly weapon of dark skin

DLISTED – But there’s another mystery in headlines this morning: it seems JLo’s engagement ring has gone missing. Just a month ago, Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez’s engagement was reportedly off, until it was immediately back on. But in her latest social media pics, JLo isn’t wearing her engagement ring…

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – Speaking of healthy relationships, Jax Taylor’s companion of choice is, in his own words, keeping him “with my wife.” That’s right: if it weren’t for weed, “I probably wouldn’t be with” Brittany Cartwright “right now,” said Jax, in the process confirming Billie Lee’s gossip from last week

GO FUG YOURSELF – If you’re anything like me, you’re a complete and total sucker for obvious-yet-entertaining Speed references. And if you’re not, rest assured that this gallery has an abundance of photos of Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock looking way too young and gorgeous at the movie’s 1995 premiere

REALITY TEA – Never get tired of this back-and-forth: “Hannah Ferrier Says Captain Sandy Yawn Was Competitive And Wanted Her Gone From Below Deck Mediterranean From The Beginning; Captain Sandy Says She’s A Real Captain And Hannah Was Just There For The Camera”

THE HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP – I guess it’s a good thing any time a member of the Duggar clan puts some genuine physical distance between themselves and the rest of the family’s Arkansas tentacles

THE BLAST – Nick Cannon is going to have twin babies by a 30-year-old DJ named Abby De La Rosa

LAINEY GOSSIP – Here’s why the upcoming Hollywood version of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Tony-winning debut musical In The Heights is so important

DLISTED – There’s a Magic Mike reality series in the works featuring aspiring man candy hoping to win a spot in the Magic Mike Live show in Las Vegas. The show will be on HBO Max, so viewers may be getting the R-rated full Monty!

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – “Bring me my red bag with the diapers!” Former 90 Day Fiance star Jorge Nava is a dad!?

REALITY TEA – Dumped Pump Rules dolt Jax Taylor reportedly owes $1.2 million in back taxes. Jax lays the blame on his “bad bookkeeper,” which might actually be true given that he is probably in charge of his own books.

CELEBITCHY – Prince Philip passed away on Friday, and Prince Harry will reportedly “do his utmost to get back to the UK and be with his family.” It’s unclear if Meghan, who is currently pregnant, will be making the trip.

VOX – For those of you out of the loop on the underage sex trafficking scandal surrounding Congressman Matt Gaetz, Vox has a full recap.

LAINEY GOSSIP – Kristen Cavallari says it’s harder raising girls than boys because of the drama, Channing Tatum releases a children’s book, Britney Spears gets vaccinated, and much more in Lainey Gossip’s Celebrity Social Media roundup!

THE BLAST – Travis Barker’s heavily tatted body is a living “Where’s Kourtney?” spin on the popular “Where’s Waldo?” game. Can you find her name?

TAMARA TATTLES – The unbelievably crazy life of Phaedra Parks’ former partner in crime, Angela Stanton, continues. The convicted felon was pardoned by Donald Trump earlier this year, and she attempted to surf the MAGA wave into political office by running for John Lewis’s seat in the US House of Representatives. (That didn’t go well.) Angela, who has changed her last name to Stanton-King because she is the God daughter of one of MLK’s nieces, recently taped an episode of Dr. Phil in regards to one of her children being openly trans. It seems that episode went worse than Angela’s run for Congress.

THE GRACE REPORT – VIDEO INCLUDED Teen Mom OG recap featuring Amber Portwood getting dragged by Gary, Leah and Kristina.

REALITEASQUAD – VIDEO INCLUDED Get a recap of the Girl S#!t podcast failure to launch fiasco, including the post-implosion reactions from Girl S#!tters Jenelle Eason and Deavan Clegg.
