THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – Tori Spelling faked a pregnancy on April Fool’s day and is now suffering the clapback from angered fans. Tori says she did it to get back at the tabloids for all the body-shaming she’s endured over the years; this seems like not the best way to go about achieving that goal

GO FUG YOURSELF – The 2021 SAG Awards were last night. They still weren’t a real awards show, because there still is a real pandemic. So, in lieu of a proper red carpet, enjoy this gallery of current nominees’ past fashions

REALITY TEA – Vanderpump Rules star Billie Lee says her co-star Jax Taylor is “usually on drugs” during filming. No offense at all to Jax or to any #PumpRules fans, but didn’t we kind of assume that already?

LAINEY GOSSIP – Natalie Portman can definitely rock a pair of jean shorts. Which reminds me: summer’s coming

DLISTED – Evidently cravy wasn’t just a decent April Fool’s joke? For some reason, Heinz and Ocean Spray are marketing cravy — which is a combination of cranberry sauce and *shudders* gravy — as a real thing which you will really be able to buy soon. Hopefully you’ll really just walk past it in the grocery store, instead

CELEBITCHY – It seems there are new Matt Gaetz allegations, because one count each of sex trafficking and having sex with a minor weren’t enough. The Florida Republican congressman is apparently under investigation for *multiple* counts of each, and somehow his father got involved in a separate but potentially related bribery scheme? To quote Kaiser: “Florida politics, man”

THE BLAST – If you’re one of the lucky 666 customers to have purchased a pair of Lil Nas X’s satan sneakers — the ones with human blood in them! — you’ll have to wait awhile before your order gets fulfilled. A judge has halted shipment of the shoes so Nike’s lawsuit against their (the shoes’) manufacturer can go forward

JEZEBEL – Let those among us who have not sucked a lover’s finger in public in the era of surreptitious cell phone videos cast the first stone

CELEBITCHY – Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz of Florida is defending himself — sort of — against a report that he paid for the travel of 17-year-old while also having sex with that 17-year-old. Those two things together would equal sex trafficking, but even Tucker Carlson can’t make sense of Gaetz’s defense…

DLISTED – In her first public comments since Framing Britney Spears dropped earlier this year, Britney herself said that the documentary made her cry for two weeks. Britney also said she hasn’t seen the documentary

VOX – Yesterday, New York became the fifteenth state to legalize the sale & growth of marijuana. I’m sure the legalization bill’s passage and Andrew Cuomo’s quick signature had nothing to do with the multiple claims of sexual misconduct against the Governor, or the allegations that he covered up COVID deaths in nursing homes. Anyway, edibles!

REALITY TEA – RHOA star and mainstay Porsha Williams says she’s already done trying to make nice with LaToya Ali. LaToya has definitely brought the heat in her first season, and normally I would wonder whether she’s making too many enemies…but then I remember Jen Shah

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – Ever wonder why Maci Bookout is still filming Teen Mom OG even though she’s not a teen and Bentley, her son, is almost a teenager himself? The Ashley has the answer

JEZEBEL – I know we already touched on Sharon Stone’s memoir once this week, but the more details come out about it, the more bananas and generally entertaining it seems

THE HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP – Jim Bob Duggar is buying newly engaged family members houses now? I wonder what dirt Jed and his fiancé Katey Nakatsu have on him. All Jill got was a few grand in back pay and she had to hire a lawyer to get that

THE BLAST – The Voice is getting a new celebrity judge in the form of Ariana Grande, who will step in right after Nick Jonas is done

LAINEY GOSSIP – Something about these pictures of Rihanna going to and coming from the grocery story makes me very happy. I don’t know exactly what it is and frankly I don’t want to know; I just want to be happy for a minute

GO FUG YOURSELF – Speaking of which, GFY’s throwback photo galleries are always a fun time: “While We’re Here, We Might As Well Glance at the Rest of the 2000 Oscars”

VOX – Ever Given, the massive container ship that blocked the Suez Canal for a week and brought worldwide commerce to a halt, has been freed. Keep the ship’s name in mind for Final Jeopardy in a couple more years

THE HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP – Chrissy Teigen made headlines a-plenty when she quit Twitter last week. But she’s also gotten plenty of criticism from people who called her a bully and weren’t sorry to see her go. One of those people? Courtney Stodden, who says Chrissy has been a bully to her “for years”

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – RIP to a beloved member of the Bad Girls Club: Deshayla Harris, better known as “Shay,” was killed after a mass shooting in Virginia Beach that left two dead and eight injured

CELEBITCHY – One detail about Lil Nas X’s latest ventures that I somehow overlooked until now? His tie-in with current most popular song in the world “Montero” is a line of shoes literally called “Satan Shoes.” And the air bubble soles have the man’s blood mixed into them like a Kiss comic book

JEZEBEL – It’s a few days old now, but this story about how Prince William is (very, very apparently) the Sexiest Bald Man In The World had the best headline

REALITY TEA – RHOC star Tamra Judge’s son Ryan Vieth had some thoughts about racism and homophobia, and he sure did share those thoughts in a completely public forum

GO FUG YOURSELF – Red carpets are almost all the way back: “The NAACP Awards Drew Heavy Hitters in High Fashion”

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – Teen Mom OG Season 9 Episode 8 Recap: Muppet Hair & Marriage Pressure. “It’s once again time for us to drag our sad selves over to the TV box and sit slack-jawed for an hour while we watch our gang of MTV pals tackle life’s biggest problems: such as whether or not to marry the boy who put an Oopsie Baby in your snotch, or whether to ‘unfriend’ your daughter on Snapchat because she doesn’t want to take any more of your crap.”

REALITY TEA – The Real Housewives of New York City alum Bethenny Frankel wasted absolutely no time officially hopping from man to man as she gets engaged to Paul Bernon just days after divorcing her ex, Jason Hoppy. The divorce took eight years, but still!

VOX – Trump voter fraud lawyer named in Dominion voting machine defamation suit is now arguing that her fraud claims were so ridiculous that “no reasonable person” would have believed them. Despite her argument being true, it’s unclear if it will be enough to get her off the hook for defamation because of the sheer number of apparent unreasonable people that did believe them.

LAINEY GOSSIP – Get an update on “World War Brange” two weeks after Angelina Jolie filed documents in court that show she has “proof and authority in support” about allegations of Brad Pitt’s domestic violence.

THE BLAST – Kylie Jenner addresses GoFundMegate by pointing out that the makeup artist involved in a car crash was someone she worked with years ago. She saw the GoFundMe via her current makeup artist, and she donated $5,000 to the $10,000 campaign, which had already raised $6,000 towards its goal. She shared a link in case anybody else wanted to donate. “I don’t know how all of this got so twisted,” she says of the backlash she has received.

DLISTED – Bella Thorne pulls ahead in the Seeking Sister Wife race to the altar with Italian pop-singer Benjamin Mascolo as the two of them are now officially engaged!

REALITY TEA – Like many businesses across the country, Lisa Vanderpump’s Pump restaurant was hit hard by the COVID pandemic.

As it turns out, Pump wasn’t closed just because of the coronavirus, it was “suspended” indefinitely by the state of California for unpaid taxes!

LAINEY GOSSIP – Actress Jennifer Garner opens up about fame, Ben Affleck, and raising children in Los Angeles in a lengthy new Hollywood Reporter interview. “If she wanted a fluffy cover story about her family she could have gone to People, and if she wanted a glossy promotional piece she could have gone to InStyle. This interview wasn’t done to drum up public attention and it isn’t just about her family or her former marriage, it’s about her future. That’s why she chose to make this announcement in a trade magazine: Jennifer Garner is back in business.”

THE BLAST – What do you get when you cross Rocky and a Care Bear? The name for Emily Ratajkowski’s newborn soon!

THE GRACE REPORT – VIDEO “Disgraced former Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans spent the 4th episode of her Addicted to Growth series confirming MTV’s interest in her alleged separation from equally disgraced husband David Eason.” As usual, Grace’s video has stirred up quite the debate as folks try to decide whether Jenelle or David are more disgraced. 🤔

CELEBITCHY – There have been accusations and gossip about Joss Whedon’s behavior for years, but this is the first time we’ve heard anything about Charisma Carpenter and Joss Whedon, who worked together on Buffy the Vampire Slayer for years.

LAINEY GOSSIP – Meghan Markle has won her lawsuit against Associated Newspapers, the parent company of the Daily Mail, which a court found violated Meghan’s “privacy and copyright” by publishing a letter to her shameless grifter father Thomas. It turns out this is also the second case the DM has lost against the Markles in the past two weeks. I wouldn’t expect a tabloid to change its behavior, but the legal precedents are good

GO FUG YOURSELF – Here are a bunch of “hideous” and / or creepy (and also kind of neat?) Valentines Day cards from the long-ago period of the 1920s, when absinthe made every heartfelt thing weird

REALITY TEA – Now that Real Housewives of Salt Lake City‘s first season is wrapping up, Lisa Barlow appears to be pulling back the curtain somewhat with regard to which cast members “put it on heavy for [the] camera”

DLISTED – Apparently Bruce Springsteen’s DWI arrest should never have happened, since he only blew a .02 and New Jersey’s legal limit is .08. What I still don’t understand is, given his legal blood-alcohol level, how exactly Springsteen was arrested in the first place

JEZEBEL – If, over the past year, you’ve been put in the delicious-yet-unfortunate position of wondering whether it’s okay to tell a mask-shunning friend who caught COVID “I told you so,” has Jezebel got an advice column for you

VOX – Finally, if you’ve been anticipating the third To All the Boys movie, the first reviews are coming in. Like this one: “This movie is just okay. It’s nothing more than that”

CELEBITCHY – The latest round of text messages allegedly from Armie Hammer is even more disturbing than the first. There are some pretty graphic descriptions of sexual cannibalism, torture, and abuse; Armie has also been dropped by both his agent and his publicist, which would seem to suggest that a) there is some truth to the allegations, and b) there could be a major Armie Hammer exposé coming

DLISTED – It was only a week ago that Aaron Rogers and Shailene Woodley confirmed that they’re dating. At the time, it looked like they had been seeing each other on the DL for a little while, and only went public after the Packers’ season ended. But now the truth has come out: they’re actually *engaged*, to which Rogers’ publicist simply said, “When you know, you know, right?”

JEZEBEL – Tessica Brown — better known as the Gorilla Glue woman — spent 22 hours in the emergency room this past weekend trying to get her makeshift hairstyling product off of her head for good. All that happened was Brown suffered scalp burns from acetone; she’s still got Gorilla Glue stuck to her head and hair (and hopefully nowhere else). Now she’s apparently lining up lawyers to sue Gorilla Glue

GO FUG YOURSELF – I was half asleep when The Weeknd played the Super Bowl halftime show, and I thought it was kind of strange and therefore a welcome break from the game itself; if social media is any indication, most people seemed to enjoy his performance. And so here’s a break from the wave of good reviews: “‘Fine’ about covers it. Maybe I’m misremembering, but the best of the past productions took those familiar performers and worked in fresh tricks. This, conversely, came across like a stubborn disinterest in breaking out of this supposed ‘storyline'”

THE BLAST – It seems Tekaski 6ix9ine is back to trolling other rappers and maybe living dangerously or maybe just living an act that he can no longer decipher?

REALITY TEA – Sure, RHONY may be on a filming break due to an undisclosed cast and / or crew member contracting COVID-19. And yes, this may be the second time the show has had to put filming on hold due to COVID exposure. But gosh darn it, if Ramona Singer wants to jet on down to Florida so she can go to a yacht party where no one is wearing masks, then she’s going to do it

THE HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP – On that note, it seems Kylie Jenner is attracting plenty of backlash for her frequent traveling and vacationing and general not caring about any coronavirus restrictions or PPE

LAINEY GOSSIP – As someone who is not watching WandaVision and has no feelings for or against it, I can tell you that the debates people are having over whether the show is a delicious slow burn or just really boring are way more entertaining than the show itself could possibly be
