DLISTED – “Juicy” Joe Giudice is no longer in ICE custody — he’s been sent back to Italy while his lawyers battle the deportation order that sent him there earlier this year. Theresa, for her part, is being “realistic about the fate of their marriage should [Joe] be deported” for good

VOX – Amazon announced it’s going to start offering free next-day delivery on $1 items like dental floss and toothpaste, forests and fossil fuels be damned. Still doesn’t beat a 10-minute walk or drive to the nearest drugstore — because when you need toothpaste, you generally can’t wait until tomorrow

REALITY TEA – RHOA star Kenya Moore says NeNe Leakes is a “bully” with “very few friends”; NeNe, at almost the same time, said she doesn’t think Kenya is telling the truth about her (Kenya’s) split from estranged husband Marc Daly, and that Marc couldn’t have been the one cheating

CELEBITCHY – Just in time for Halloween season: the horror of a royal wedding without a carriage ride will become reality when Princess Beatrice marries Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi at Windsor Castle

THE BLAST – Fortnite blew up its map, which is now just a black hole. Plenty of players appear to be pissed; on the other hand, this is the only time I have ever been interested in Fortnite

LAINEY GOSSIP – The second official trailer for the Charlie’s Angels reboot is here — and it’s really the first trailer, since the one before this was mostly just a teaser with little actual footage and no action

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – “Jenni Farley’s Ex-Boyfriend Zack Carpinello Apologizes to Her & Angelina Pivarnick For His Actions on Most-Recent Jersey Shore Family Vacation Episode”

GO FUG YOURSELF – Billie Piper’s dress looks like a hypnotic fishing net and I wish she’d worn it on Doctor Who so we could have gotten Christopher Eccleston’s reaction

THE BLEMISH – It turns out not everyone who works in adult film is above board about it

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – Bachelor star Peter Weber is reportedly fine after suffering a nasty fall while filming the new season, but Peter Weber’s face is another matter. Weber apparently “slipped and fell face-first into two cocktail glasses” during a round of golf and had to have 22 stitches put into the front of his head

DLISTED – “The earth can breathe a sigh of relief. Our poor beleaguered environment has a new hero, but instead of wearing a cape, she wears shapewear. Kim Kardashian West is keen to meet with Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old environmental activist who ripped the powers that be new assholes at the United Nations Climate Change Summit.”

LAINEY GOSSIP – The Breaking Bad movie El Camino comes out on Netflix this Friday and Aaron Paul has been doing plenty of publicity to support it. Last night, Paul and BB creator Vince Gilligan reunited with Bryan Cranston for the film’s premiere and it’s impossible not to smile when you see how happy they all are to see each other

CELEBITCHY – Tyler Perry says he had to create his own movie studio in Atlanta — one that’s apparently bigger than both Warner Brothers’ and Disney’s studios combined — because he was “ignored in Hollywood”

JEZEBEL – This scary story reminds me I need to pull the glow-in-the-dark skeleton on the front door before Halloween season is over

THE BLEMISH – Sienna Miller says Harvey Weinstein ordered her to stop partying so hard back in the mid-00s and somehow her story does not involve Weinstein getting his dick out in front of her?

REALITY TEA – Aesha Scott from Below Deck Mediterranean says co-star Joao Franco “bullied [her] every single day” during filming for last season: “He never stopped judging me and criticizing me. When we left, you’ll notice on the last episode, I didn’t even hug him goodbye. I was so sick of him treating me like crap.”

GO FUG YOURSELF – Please everyone call it Maleficent II: Maleficentier for as long as this movie exists

THE BLAST – Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s endless divorce has become the Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton having a baby version of high-profile celebrity splits. I swear I thought their divorce had been finalized at least twice, but apparently they’re still “negotiating the settlement of their multi-million dollar divorce”

VOX – “The 2019 National Book Award finalists spotlight authors from marginalized groups: Marlon James and Susan Choi are among the 25 finalists.”

REALITY TEA – News of the Eva Marcille custody dispute couldn’t come at a worse time for the Real Housewives of Atlanta star, who just gave birth to a healthy baby boy last week. Marcille’s estranged husband Kevin McCall is basically trolling her by filing for joint custody of he and Eva’s daughter Marley, since Kevin is *also* facing a year in jail on domestic abuse charges

CELEBITCHY – Mark Hamill isn’t having any of Ivanka Trump’s Star Wars references (also, who goes with a stormtrooper?)

JEZEBEL – Remember the story last week about the six-year-old orphan from Ukraine who turned out to actually be a fully-grown adult with homicidal tendencies…and who then went missing? Well, she’s been found — and in the most likely US state of all

THE BLEMISH – The house where Kurt Cobain committed suicide is for sale again. If you’re interested, though, you’ll have to pony up something fierce: the four-bedroom, four-bathroom, 8,212-square foot house is listed at $7.5 million

THE BLAST – I thought the problem was that Stacey Dash already had contact with her husband

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – “DJ Pauly D & Vinny Guadagnino Filming DJ Pauly D and Vinny’s Vegas Pool Party for MTV; New Show to Include Some of the Double Shot Cast”

VOX – A Facebook intern secretly recorded one of Mark Zuckerberg’s infamous company addresses and leaked it to the media. Everything about Zuckerberg’s response indicates, to quote the article, “It’s the leak itself, not the content of the leak, that’s important”

LAINEY GOSSIP – Prince Harry and Dutchess Meghan have had it with their treatment by the British press; they’re now suing the Daily Mail for misuse of public information, among other things

GO FUG YOURSELF – “On one hand, it’s very on-the-nose that Angelina Jolie showed up to [the Maleficent 2 premiere] looking like a rich villain, and Elle Fanning arrived floating like a woodland nymph. Then again, I would have been astonished if they’d done a role reversal and it was Angelina bedecked in flowers, projecting the image of a sweet naif who’d just had her first roll in the meadow. This is a woman whose brand was once blood, after all. She’s not skipping into this party looking one bonnet shy of the May Queen.”

DLISTED – The Joker isn’t supposed to be sympathetic?

LAINEY GOSSIP – Hailey and Justin Bieber’s wedding weekend was a montage of skin treatments and water sports at a posh South Carolina resort, one that the couple booked for a week before arriving to give the staff enough time to prepare for the deluge of celebrities. And the festivities actually culminated with a Monday wedding, which is somehow becoming the norm among big names?

THE BLAST – Here’s a ton more photos of the actual venue for Beiber’s wedding weekend, plus a few of the couple (who, let’s not forget, already got married at New York City Hall a year ago). Evidently the rehearsal dinner required boat valets, and afterward the wedding party watched The Notebook outdoors next to a lake

VOX – This is really rich

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – In light of Aaron Carter’s brand-new and not-great giant face tattoo of Rihanna, here’s a list of six reality stars with face tattoos, along with why each person got theirs. (Spoiler: Aaron’s is still by far the biggest and most garish of anyone on the list)

GO FUG YOURSELF – Helen Mirren is channeling Gwendoline Christie and Storm from X-Men with this floral blizzard dress from L’Oreal at Paris Fashion Week; unsurprisingly, it’s amazing

REALITY TEA – RHOD star LeeAnne Locken is not having any of D’Andra Simmons’ confessional tea spilling, since evidently D’Andra hasn’t had the real courage to accuse LeeAnne of anything to her face

DLISTED – A bus driver in Washington state has resigned after showing up to work drunk and telling the children on her school bus that her husband is a “son of a gun” and she herself is “totally crazy” — all this while driving the bus so crazily that the kids start to scream

JEZEBEL – “The air is crispy. Your haggard toes are ready to return to their foot coffins for the season. Somewhere in the distance, ghosts are gathering their tattered sheets and rattling chains, preparing for another month of scaring children and regular adults shitless. Fall is here — the best season — and it is time to clean.”

THE BLEMISH – McKayla Maroney, who took a break from social media for most of 2019, is now back on social media and talking about her fairly excruciating year

CELEBITCHY – I know Ken Jeong used to be a doctor before he somehow became a highly regarded comedic actor but I still feel like taking medical advice from guests on Ellen is maybe not the best course of action when one needs medical advice

THE BLAST – Rumors of Amanda Bynes back in recovery appear to be true — she’s apparently “not doing well” following her stint in drug rehab earlier this year, and is currently in a “group home focusing on sober living” away from the pressures of Hollywood

CELEBITCHY – Beyonce called her seven-year-old daughter Blue Ivy a “cultural icon” in legal documents her attorneys filed to try and trademark the name. Bey is probably right — and she’s trying to keep the name out of the hands of a wedding planner who uses the name “Blue Ivy” for her business

VOX – Last night The Good Place, the only perfect show on network television, aired its final season premiere. In honor of that, enjoy this article on how the show makes black hole-dense moral philosophy engaging and funny

REALITY TEA – Former RHOC star and current demoted RHOC star Vicki Gunvalson is trying to get her main cast spot back by kicking up a bunch of dust around Kelly Dodd. Her current best effort is that Kelly “leeches off men,” which, maybe but also so what?

LAINEY GOSSIP – Kevin Feige — who, in case you’re like me and had no idea, is the head of Marvel Studios — is going to produce a Star Wars movie. It’s pretty clear that Star Wars as a franchise is going the way of James Bond in a big hurry, but for now this announcement is a big deal if you like movie studio insider politics

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – There’s video of disgraced former Southern Charm star taking a magic mushroom and engaging in “inappropriate and violent behavior” at a party while also acting as caregiver for his kids and yet that’s somehow not the most disturbing detail in this article

GO FUG YOURSELF – This miniskirt-and-plunging-neckline combination Natalie Portman is wearing sort of makes her appear to be simultaneously lifting off into orbit and dripping into the carpet like a sad forgotten candle

DLISTED – Turns out Mailk Yoba only announced that he’s attracted to trans women because he knew a story about how he’d allegedly solicited underage trans girls was about to break and he was trying to get out ahead of it. Then, the first time an interviewer asked about the allegations, Yoba got up and walked out of the room

JEZEBEL – Thanks to the pervasiveness of the HGTV aesthetic, super-rich people are having a really hard time selling all their amazing antique furniture because it’s now considered just clutter. And so, the following delightful headline: “Rich People Have Bad Taste and Don’t Like Antiques Anymore, so They Should Give Them to Me”

THE BLAST – Today, in sentences: “If I’m honest, I do still want to have sex with Lindsay Lohan, but I’m deeply ashamed of it because her skin looks like someone let the air out of a sex doll.”

JEZEBEL – In the middle of the whistleblower’s memo and subsequent impeachment drama comes what sure looks an awful lot like the real Trump pee tape. We say “looks like” because it turns out it’s likely a very high quality fake; your willingness to believe in the tape’s authenticity is directly related to how much you want to see grainy footage of women peeing on each other while Trump sits on a nearby chair

VOX – About that whistleblower: It turns out a still-anonymous US intelligence official claims s/he has tea on Trump trying to do some crimes with the president of Ukraine, and that White House officials then tried to cover up the doing of those crimes

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – There’s a reason Kylie Jenner wasn’t with Kendall and Kim at the Emmys last weekend: she was under the weather and has apparently now been hospitalized for “flu-like symptoms”

CELEBITCHY – “How close is Netflix’s Unbelievable to the true story?”

DLISTED – Kim Zolciak let her five-year old daughter Kaia Rose wear full makeup, then shared a photo of Kaia on Instagram, and then got a bit huffy when several people slammed her in the comments, hmmm

THE BLAST – Speaking of Real Housewives, it seems Dorit Kemsley’s money problems are far from over: she’s being taken back to court in relation to her husband’s $1.2 million (alleged) debt

REALITY TEA – “Survivor: Island of the Idols Premiere Recap: Season 39 Starts Off On Fire!”

THE BLEMISH – That interview Jennifer Lopez gave to Movieline in 1998 has gone viral again, probably because she shit-talks a ton of A-listers and generally acts like she has Meryl Streep’s résumé and Cardi B’s cred

GO FUG YOURSELF – If you still haven’t gotten enough of the fashion from the 2019 Emmys, now’s your chance to vote in the only other fashion poll that matters: The worst-dressed celebs from Sunday night

LAINEY GOSSIP – Princess Beatrice is engaged to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi; enjoy them here looking googly-eyed at one another, and also on a boat

VOX – The 2019 Emmy winners included Gwendoline Christie, both for Game of Thrones‘ Best Drama award and dominating the red carpet as usual; Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who cleaned house with Fleabag; and jokes about how cheerful and uplifting Chernobyl is — but, sadly, did not include Russian Doll, which nonetheless remains a perfect show

CELEBITCHY – Another unfortunate Emmys loser: Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who had won six years running for Veep. Veep was completely shut out last night; if she’d won again, Louis-Dreyfus would have passed Cloris Leachman as the person with the most Emmy wins of all time

LAINEY GOSSIP – Jharrel Jerome won When They See Us‘ only award of the night, for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie; if you’ve not yet heard of him, get ready to, since at 21 years old he’s the youngest person ever to win the category

THE BLAST – “Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor Appear Back Together On Emmy’s Red Carpet After 2017 Split”

REALITY TEA – In more Starcasm-centric news, here’s a list of all the reality TV-specific Emmy nominees and winners (it was absolutely no surprise that RuPaul’s Drag Race won for the fourth year in a row, nor that RuPaul had one of the most best speeches of the night)

THE BLEMISH – I missed Jenny McCarthy making every celebrity she touched cringe like an injured dog with her red carpet interviews but after reading this recap I really wish I’d managed to see them live

JEZEBEL – “Bethenny Frankel’s Post-RHONY Plans: Making New Shows That May or May Not Be About Bethenny Frankel”

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – “Jon Gosselin Says He Once Rejected TLC’s $1 Million Offer to Stay Married to Kate & Keep Jon & Kate Plus 8 On the Air: “’I Wasn’t Gonna Have a Fake Marriage'”

DLISTED – A judge has ruled that Jamie Spears will remain Britney Spears’ conservator, so “Free Britney” is dead? The hashtags will live on

GO FUG YOURSELF – This outfit looks like it won the war only after losing several major battles

CELEBITCHY – There’s a Saved By The Bell reboot coming, it’s being produced by one of the people who made 30 Rock great, and it sounds like the press release announcing the show is also supposed to pressure Mark-Paul Gosselaar to sign on and make Governor Zach Morris (no, really) a thing

DLISTED – “Music” is as sensible a reason as any for this particular celebrity pairing

JEZEBEL – This new PSA about school shootings is getting a lot of attention and a fair bit of pushback for its realistic depiction of the violence kids are being trained to expect at any moment while also learning math

REALITY TEA – Vanderpump Rules star Lala Kent is embroiled in a serious beef with 50 Cent and this breakdown of it is absolutely, gloriously petty

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – “Former Flipping Out Star Jeff Lewis’ Daughter Expelled from Preschool Due to Comments He Made on His Radio Show”

THE BLEMISH – A second person who accused Kevin Spacey of sexual misconduct has died under let’s call it fairly unexpected circumstances. And a third person out of the blue decided to stop talking to prosecutors. Insert your own Frank Underwood joke here

GO FUG YOURSELF – The plot of the Between Two Ferns movie sounds almost identical to that every-celebrity-cameo-possible Paulie Shore redemption project from a few years back, so maybe this is just a genre that produces one movie every decade or so?

LAINEY GOSSIP – Mark Ruffalo is getting a fair bit of Oscar buzz for playing “dude Erin Brockovich” in a movie called Dark Waters that it sounds like no one will ever see

VOX – Here’s the truth about Area 51, as told by the world’s foremost expert (provided you can trust her)

THE BLAST – This love letter from Guy Fieri to cheeseburgers in honor of National Cheeseburger Day is oddly touching, though it does overlook the fact that when your brand is built on greasy spoons and hipster pub fare, every day is National Cheeseburger Day
