CELEBITCHY – It would be amazing if Kit Harington’s description of his last day on the set of Game of Thrones — which, in Harington’s own words, sounds like a “wet fart” — really did turn out to be his last scene in the show. Sometimes, the best secrecy is a mindf*ck of paranoia (plus drone hunters)

LAINEY GOSSIP – I’m not exactly sure how one calculates the odds of “winning” Game of Thrones, since the show has made it pretty damn clear there isn’t going to be an Iron Throne left to sit on at the end. Nonetheless, here’s an explainer involving House Stark’s odds, which are…decent, assuming you’re comfortable ruling over a vast pile of icy death rubble

THE BLAST – It seems that what caused Wendy Williams’ recent relapse and led to her stay in a sober living facility was Williams’ soon-to-be-ex husband Kevin Hunter confessing to “certain transgressions” — news that Williams, understandably, did not take well

VOX – The president’s sister was a federal judge until a couple of months ago, when she resigned abruptly in order to end an investigation into her possible role in a Trump tax evasion scheme

REALITY TEA – Apparently Lori Loughlin had either gotten reality TV offers or was in talks for her own reality TV show before the college admissions scandal broke. And if you don’t think she’ll have a deal in place by the time her legal battle and likely prison sentence are over, you need to watch more reality TV yourself

JEZEBEL – Amber Heard’s court filing in response to Johnny Depp’s $50 million defamation lawsuit against her claims that Depp threatened to kill Heard on multiple occasions

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – The surprise isn’t that Kendra Duggar is pregnant again; it’s that she found one of the weirdest & most borderline disgusting ways possible to break the news to her husband Joe

DLISTED – You know who else only eats once per day? People who can’t afford to

THE BLEMISH – Evidently the only thing standing between yourself and a guest spot on a real, live Soulja Boy track is ten thousand real, live dollars

THE BLAST – The new Lion King trailer is here, and it’s mostly what people expected? It definitely delivers the hype, but at 1:42 it’s the longest 30-second teaser trailer I think I’ve ever seen

VOX – The Mueller report is going to be released in some form at some point in the next week or so. As soon as that happens, everyone with access to a microphone will start spinning it. Here’s how to actually read and analyze it yourself

CELEBITCHY – Hailey Baldwin’s moisturizer has her own blood in it, making her against all odds the KISS of fashion models. And the moisturizer itself is definitely working for her, so, well done, carry on

THE BLEMISH – Come for the update on R. Kelly’s latest shameless attention grab; stay for the quality piss joke

DLISTED – The entertainment media is finally starting to ask Elizabeth Moss how she squares her Scientology membership with her starring role in The Handmaid’s Tale. We haven’t seen Moss squirm this much since the first few episodes of Mad Men

LAINEY GOSSIP – Both Felicity Huffman and Lori Laughlin’s plea deals included recommendations of jail time, but don’t be surprised if neither one of them ever sets foot in prison. And it’s all thanks to the same system that allowed them to purchase illegal college admissions access in the first place

JEZEBEL – The story of Jack the Ripper has always been fascinating just as a piece of true crime; thanks to the swirl of cultural and political forces that make 2019 so difficult to bear, it’s also never been a more relevant study. So here’s a book — The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper — that does just that! Tuck it in your summer beach tote

REALITY TEA – Scheana Marie, a seasoned reality TV cast member, thinks that Lindsay Lohan’s Beach Club is a boring show and also not as good a show as Vanderpump Rules. What is good: intra-network cast feuds, so get ready for this one to escalate

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – I was never Team Tarek when he and Christina El Moussa had their gigantic fallout and awkward makeup, but I have to admit that this is a pretty good way to shade your ex. Dickish, for sure, but good nonetheless

DLISTED – Basically the entire Game of Thrones cast, past and present, got together in New York City for the Season 8 premiere. And the clear winner — for fashion, buzz, poise, everything — was Gwendoline Christie, whose appearance as Brienne of Tarth in a dress that looks made of fire and clouds could have come from the show itself with no changes

JEZEBEL – Instagram influencers, already one of the most grating groups of people on the planet, are ruining public lands in search of the best possible product placement shot. And at least a couple of increasingly popular, anonymous accounts are calling them out for it

THE BLAST – It turns out that *not* keeping up with the Kardashians can be lucrative, too: apparently Jordyn Woods is making serious bank on her overseas promo tour

CELEBITCHY – Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin both appeared in federal court yesterday to face charges in the college admissions scandal. It seems neither woman will be able to take a simple plea deal and disappear from the public eye for awhile, though, as both their plea deals require at least some time in prison

LAINEY GOSSIP – It seems I need to spend more time reading about the Royal Family, because something called “Turnipgate” is a real live drama in Britain. (To be fair, it’s technically being called the “Turnip toffs,” as the “-gate” suffix is distinctly American)

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – “MTV Announces The Hills: New Beginnings Premiere Date: Watch the First Nostalgia-Laced Trailer”

THE BLEMISH – Every new detail about the Cats movie musical has me further convinced that it will be the absolute train wreck the world needs right now

REALITY TEA – “Dolores Catania Shocked Teresa Giudice Is Considering Split From Joe Giudice; Wonders If Sex Will Help Them Stay Together” (I’m guessing the answer is “No, but it will make them temporarily happier”)

VOX – If you’ve noticed your beer looking and tasting more like juice lately, you’ll be glad to know there’s a reason why

JEZEBEL – The bizarre story of Jeff Bezos’ dick, the dick pics he sent his mistress, and his mistress’ brother hacking her phone so he could try to blackmail Bezos just got another wrinkle. Apparently the Saudi Arabian government *also* hacked Bezos’ phone, possibly as a favor to David Pecker, a “staunch Trump supporter” and the owner of AMI, who publishes the National Enquirer, who paid Bezos’ mistress’ brother $200,000 for the dick pics in the first place. Okay, maybe that’s a couple more wrinkles

THE BLEMISH – Tinder isn’t really going to start verifying the height and dick size of all the men who use the app, and reading some of the outraged Twitter responses to their April Fool’s prank is a fun time

REALITY TEA – Celebrity bloggers as a rule can’t stand April Fool’s Day, so apologies for the seemingly baseless negativity here: Countess Luann claims she would very much like to join the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast. Again: Yesterday was April Fool’s Day, so who knows if this is for real or one more halfhearted celebrity prank

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – “‘Vanderpump Cocktail Garden’ Opens in Las Vegas: See the Photos of the Vanderpump Rules Cast At the Grand Opening”

THE BLAST – Justin Bieber spent April Fool’s Day trying to convince the world he’d gotten Hailey Baldwin pregnant. It’s Justin, though, so the execution was a little transparent

CELEBITCHY – Apparently Meghan Markle, Dutchess of Sussex and tabloid fodder on two sides of the Atlantic from here to eternity, spent somewhere in the neighborhood of $500,000 on maternity clothes, which seems…expected, for a super high-profile celebrity-slash-royal?

DLISTED – In other wealth news, Elon Musk, garbage person, released a garbage SoundCloud rap in honor of three-years-dead gorilla Harambe for no obvious reason beyond being rich and bored

VOX – Here’s the deal with the 100% meatless hamburger that Burger King started selling yesterday. (Quick spoiler: No, it wasn’t an April Fool’s joke; the release date was just good marketing on the company’s part)

LAINEY GOSSIP – “Broad City: A Guide on How to End a Show”

VOX – Once we actually get the full Mueller report release, a bunch of publishing houses will have the thing churned out in book form in less than a week. That’s because the document is in the public domain and no one has to ask for permission to print it (and is also why you should just download the PDF for free)

CELEBITCHY – Now all sixteen of the pending felonies against Jussie Smollett have been dropped?! I get that the Chicago Police are roughly as competent in real life as they are in the car chase at the end of The Blues Brothers, but…seriously?

JEZEBEL – Here is what life is really like in the Bachelor mansion when you’re surrounded by all the other contestents and have no cell phone or clock or unsupervised contact with the outside world

DLISTED – Remember last week when we all found out that Cardi B’s first movie role will be in J-Lo’s Hustlers, about a team of strippers who drug and rob selected Wall Street douchebag clients? It turns out that when she was a stripper, Cardi B used to actually do that

THE BLEMISH – Avengers: Endgame is going to be just a shade over three hours long, meaning it will be the first Marvel superhero movie to actually be as long as every single other one of them felt

REALITY TEA – “Erika Jayne Is ‘On The Truth’s Side’; Hasn’t Spoken To Lisa Vanderpump In Months”

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – It’s been so long since I covered Flip or Flop regularly that I didn’t even realize Christina El-Moussa now goes by Christina Anstead. But she’s expecting a baby with her new husband Ant despite struggling with fertility in the past, so congrats!

LAINEY GOSSIP – As a former resident of California’s Central Valley, my favorite and least favorite thing about the responses to Keanu Reeves taking his fellow stranded travelers on an impromptu tour of Bakersfield is the constant references to Bakersfield as “somewhere” and “a remote location.” It’s a big city! And a pretty one! Just avoid all the meth. And don’t stay too long or you’ll get valley lung and die

THE BLAST – If you are a potential juror in Travis Scott’s upcoming court battle with a concert promoter, his legal team would very much like to know your opinion of the Kardashian family

VOX - The Us reviews are coming in and they're basically all glowing. Like this one: "Rife with symbols and encroaching apocalyptic dread, Us is a big, ambitious fable about how a society develops willful amnesia, then tears itself to pieces" CELEBITCHY - On the other end of the spectrum, the first posters and teaser trailer for Once Upon A Time In Hollywood are also here, and they are hot garbage and a hot mess, respectively LAINEY GOSSIP - In further trailer news, Stranger Things 3 comes out on July 4th and the first proper trailer has arrived. Does anyone else think it's a bit weird that no one refers to the show as "the third season of Stranger Things"? REALITY TEA - RHOA superstar NeNe Leakes says she is in no way separating from her husband Gregg, and even appears to have gained some perspective on their situation over the last few months THE ASHLEY'S REALITY ROUNDUP - "Big Brother 19 Couple Jessica Graf & Cody Nickson Welcome Their Baby Girl a Month Early: See the First Photos!" DLISTED - Jenny McCarthy had some interesting things to say about her brief time on The View for the author of a brand-new, tea-spilling BTS book about the show. The takeaway here: Come for the Barbara Walters gossip; stay for the tampon anecdote JEZEBEL - I can't tell if the drama on Terrace House is the sleepiest in all of reality TV or if the show is secretly exactly like every other reality show, but with a lower volume THE BLEMISH - Growing is a return to form for Amy Schumer's stand-up after the dreadful Leather Special

VOX - The Bachelor finale shocker was without question one for the show's record books. It was also, to put it as gently as possible, juuust a little bit problematic CELEBITCHY - William H. Macy managed to avoid arrest in the college admissions cheating scandal that snared his wife Felicity Huffman for what amounts to a pretty sketchy reason. I've read this twice and it still seems like he should have been taken into custody as well THE BLEMISH - In 1989, Michael Jackson was captured on film shopping for jewelry with accuser James Safechuck -- who was twelve years old at the time -- and no one questioned it until the footage resurfaced on YouTube this week JEZEBEL - In related news, it turns out that LaToya "Psychic Friends Network" Jackson was right about her family all along, but nobody wanted to take her seriously because who could take the Psychic Friends Network seriously, right? THE BLAST - Apparently Luke Perry's death certificate lists a false burial site because his family wants to keep the real resting place a secret. History is already planning a Curse of Oak Island-style show about this LAINEY GOSSIP - Everything about J. Lo and Alex Rodriguez's relationship has seemed manufactured from day one and these charmless engagement photos are only further proof DLISTED - In sex offender news not related to Michael Jackson, Nicki Minaj has started referring to her boyfriend, Kenneth Petty -- who did time for attempted rape and is on New York state's list of registered sex offenders -- as her "husband" instead THE ASHLEY'S REALITY ROUNDUP - I'm no connoisseur of daytime TV, so I could be way off on this. But I'm pretty sure that when Maury Povich gets involved in a feud, it's not a sign that things are about to be settled REALITY TEA - "Estranged Wife Of Alexis Bellino’s New Boyfriend Pleads For Social Media Respect For Their Children"

CELEBITCHY - The FBI busted up a ring of wealthy people and college admissions officers and coaches who conspired to get the wealthy peoples' kids into elite schools when their subpar grades weren't enough. It's more or less becoming known as the Felicity Huffman college cheating scandal because Huffman was arrested for faking her daughter's SAT scores (her husband, William H. Macy, was not named in the FBI indictment) JEZEBEL - But former Full House actress Lori Laughlin was also arrested after allegedly paying out around $500,000 in bribes so her Instagram influencer daughter Olivia Jade could get into USC under the guise of being on the crew team. I'm still not sure how you can fake being an athlete -- especially when you have over a million Instagram followers who watch you not being an athlete -- but it seems to have worked THE BLAST - Huffman's bond has been set at $250,000, or approximately seventeen times what she paid someone to retake the SAT for her daughter VOX - In lighter news, the live-action Aladdin trailer is out, and honestly I'm way more interested in the racial and gender and business politics and behind-the-scenes-y stuff that went into making and marketing the trailer than I ever will be in watching the trailer. I still haven't! It probably took me more time to write this than it would have to just watch. But Robin Williams is magic and this remake is unnecessary LAINEY GOSSIP - "Game of Thrones Winning Odds: House Greyjoy" REALITY TEA - To no one's surprise, Brandi Glanville is just a teensy bit overjoyed that everyone on RHOBH is turning against Lisa Vanderpump this season DLISTED - Conor McGregor is a reality TV star without a show THE ASHLEY'S REALITY ROUNDUP - "‘Counting On’ Season 9 Episode 4 Recap: A Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Bake-Off" THE BLEMISH - Finally, here's a perfect headline: "A Billionaire Died Trying to Make his Dick Bigger"
