JEZEBEL – The Rock, who is often working out, just as often has dick towels at the gym all over his Instagram, leading to a very simple question: What’s the deal with this towel?

THE BLEMISH – Drake spent $750,000 on a sex watch you can absolutely order from the back of a MAD magazine for $19.95

CELEBITCHY – I’ve read a bunch of the coverage of Jon Stewart’s tearful, outraged speech before the House Judiciary Committee yesterday, where he tore into the Committee’s largely absent members and their slack attitude toward federal funding for 9/11 first responder medical care, and the only sense of it I can make is that Congress for some reason doesn’t seem to think that helping support the surviving and often quite ill first responders is just not really a priority

LAINEY GOSSIP – I’ve only been hearing good-to-amazing things about RuPaul’s new talk show, so the possibility that it may not last the month is pretty jarring. If it doesn’t, the guests are to blame

VOX – Yesterday, the US women’s soccer team played their first match of this year’s World Cup and beat Thailand 13-0. That’s the most goals any team — women or men — has ever scored in one World Cup match, and also more goals than the combined total of the US men’s team in its eleven World Cup matches. And so the women would now like to be paid accordingly, please

2019 Tony Awards looks: Hold my umbrella drink

LAINEY GOSSIP – Voting for the 2019 Emmys began yesterday. To no one’s surprise, Natasha Lyonne is campaigning hard for Russian Doll, which has an uphill battle because it’s a comedy-length show that isn’t really a comedy and also isn’t really a drama. On the other hand, Russian Doll is a perfect show. Hopefully enough Emmy voters realize this

CELEBITCHY – Surely Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Falchuk aren’t the only high-profile celebrities to not live together and only sleep in the same bed a few nights a week? And we’re all just piling on to Gwyneth about this because she’s so easily pile-onable? I’m not opposed to this, understand; it just seems highly unlikely that super busy super wealthy married celebrities are always in the same spot come bedtime

REALITY TEA – Friend of The Real Housewives of New York Barbara Kavovit apparently owes $2.4 million on her Hamptons home — featured in a few episodes earlier this season — and is trying to find a way to avoid foreclosure

THE BLAST – Sandra Bullock is working with John Legend on a musical TV series based on her early life, specifically her college years. Did Sandra Bullock have a particularly interesting early life? If this idea doesn’t fail and fail hard, is it something all celebrities are going to start doing?

VOX – Chicago Sun-Times journalist Jim DeRogatis has been investigating the case against R. Kelly for nineteen years. He published the first stories about Kelly’s alleged sex abuse back in 2000; he’s written extensively about Kelly’s alleged involvement in child pornography; and he broke the story of Kelly’s supposed sex cult two years ago. Now, DeRogatis has a book out about his findings, and it’s thorough enough to make “Surviving R. Kelly” look like a rough draft

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – I know we already covered Jill Dillard’s peculiar list of tips for a healthy marriage and sex life in our own article.

REALITY TEA – “Real Housewives Of New York Star Ramona Singer Claps Back At Luann de Lesseps For Calling Her A Mean Girl”

DLISTED – The first trailer for Brad Pitt’s new movie Ad Astra is here. I’m getting a kind of Interstellar vibe, except instead of father and daughter it’s father and son? And it’s not as pretty? Though Ad Astra is a better title

THE BLEMISH – The Dark Phoenix director got Sophie Turner to cry for a pivotal scene by taking her Juul away. In other news, Sophie Turner may have a nicotine problem

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – The long-awaited comeback season of The Real World is almost here, and MTV has revealed the Real World Atlanta cast, along with complete cast bios and the show’s first full trailer. The bios alone make it clear that we should expect plenty of cross-cultural headbutting

DLISTED – Forbes has released another list of super duper wealthy people, including profiles of some of the celebrities on the list. According to their calculations, Rihanna — estimated fortune $600 million — is currently the wealthiest woman in music. Given Fenty’s overwhelming popularity, I’m honestly shocked that Rihanna isn’t wealthier than Kylie Jenner

THE BLEMISH – Though it could be a successful amusement park ride, this is definitely the worst emergency helicopter rescue of all time

THE BLAST – “Rehab Addict Star Nicole Curtis Accused of Violating Court Order in Foreclosure Battle”

JEZEBEL – First, Trump called Meghan Markle, Dutchess of Sussex another nasty woman (in an echo of his comment about Hillary Clinton at the 2016 presidential debates). Next, he claimed he’d said no such thing. Then, his own PR team tweeted out the audio of Trump saying exactly that thing

DLISTED – There are now eleven more R. Kelly felony charges in the still-expanding sexual assault cases against him, and the new ones are apparently the most serious yet. According to several reports, at least four of the eleven new charges carry a maximum sentence of up to 30 years in prison — so potentially up to 120 years without even considering the other seven

THE BLEMISH – Cardi B finally dropped her new single. It’s called “Press.” And apparently she was worried people wouldn’t pay attention to it? because the album cover features Cardi standing 100% naked before a throng of photographers

THE BLAST – Drake is the merriest jester in all the land now that his beloved Toronto Raptors are in the NBA Finals, but the next time you see him clowning on the sideline, remember that the black band on his left arm is covering up the tattoos he has of Steph Curry and Kevin Durant’s jersey numbers

CELEBITCHY – Big Little Lies‘ Shailene Woodley does indeed give “bonkers interviews” (here, “bonkers” pretty much just means “unusual for a big celebrity”); in her latest, she says she loves sex but doesn’t trust anyone; talks about how her father’s poverty affected her own childhood; and worries about people thinking she’s just another celebrity pseudo-hippie

VOX – This is the best question I’ve seen anyone ask of a CGI-heavy summer blockbuster in a long time: “Godzilla: King of the Monsters has lots of fighting monsters. Why did it bother with humans?”

Their new son’s name is Angelo James LaValle, he weighed seven pounds eight ounces at birth, and he and his mother are doing fine. And there is a gosh darn adorable baby pic, too

LAINEY GOSSIP – Evidently Robert Pattinson is not 100% locked in as the next Batman; he still has to do a screen test against Nicholas Hoult. It seems the producers of the next Batman movie decided to reconsider Pattinson after they saw the reaction to news he’d gotten the gig. Keep your glitter Batman jokes under a hot lamp until further notice

REALITY TEA – RHOP star Candiace Dillard is calling Gizelle Bryant out for not being “the best friend to Karen [Huger],” but isn’t it kind of Gizelle’s thing to not act like anyone’s best friend?

GO FUG YOURSELF – The stars of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt are making the rounds at Emmy consideration parties to try and send the show out with a bang come awards season. Jane Krakowski in particular looks stunning and mod and not at all like her character (which will maybe help the show’s chances?)

JEZEBEL – It seems LaCroix’s sales are falling faster than if they’d hired R. Kelly to endorse them and the brand may not be long for this world. Pour one out

THE BLAST – Though news of Game of Thrones star Kit Harington in rehab has only just now broken, Harington actually checked himself into a $120,000-per-month Connecticut facility weeks ago. Citing exhaustion and increasing alcohol use as the reasons, Harington’s reps said he’s been under absurd pressure from starring in the most popular show in the world ever since GoT literally brought Jon Snow back from the dead

THE BLEMISH – Some topless outtakes from Iggy Azalea’s photoshoot for GQ Australia a few years ago have leaked online. Though the leaks had nothing to do with social media (until spreading that way), Iggy deleted her IG and Twitter accounts so she could have a “happy place…until it all blows over”

LAINEY GOSSIP – Zoe Kravitz and Karl Glusman got married on the DL at some point earlier this year, contributing to the ongoing “celebrity low-key wedding trend” that now includes couples as big as Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas, and of course Hailey Baldwin and Justin Bieber

GO FUG YOURSELF – Speaking of Sophie Turner, here’s the forever Queen in the North in a slew of different looks for the Dark Phoenix publicity tour. I want a pair of her olive semi-cargo pants almost as badly as I want to question her about the strange & mesmerizing “Project Runway-esque cocktail gown” she wore in South Korea

DLISTED – Kate Mara and her husband Jamie Bell just welcomed their first child together, congrats!

DLISTED – OJ Simpson’s former manager Norman Pardo is shopping a documentary in which he claims OJ and Kris Jenner cheated on their spouses by having sex in a hot tub in 1990. Oh, and that OJ further claimed the sex was so violent that Kris had to go to the hospital in the middle of the night

CELEBITCHY – Cynthia Nixon has some honest and refreshing thoughts on how Sex and the City wouldn’t get made the same way if it were coming out in 2019 — but of course SATC changed a lot about TV shows in the first place, and the landscape wouldn’t look at all the same if it hadn’t come out when it did

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – “Insiders Say Mama June Shannon Has Allegedly Tried (and Failed) at Drug Rehab At Least Once Before”

JEZEBEL – Unspouse My House is a new show about the catharsis that comes when you get rid of all the shit your ex left behind after you broke up, and is like “if Revenge Body was interesting”

THE BLEMISH – Coke is bringing back dismal 80s failure New Coke in a hilarious attempt at a nostalgia-driven cash grab, because New Coke made so much money the first time around?
