REALITY TEA – You may recall that a few months ago, RHOP star Candiace Dillard spewed some hate at a DC-area blogger who sided with Monique in the pair’s fight. Apparently, Candiace knew that the blogger suffered from several medical issues, including seemingly serious kidney problems. And in a video response to his post on the fight, she said she hoped he “dropped dead.” Well, Candiace Dillard’s death wish has come true, because the blogger — whose name was Khyle Paylor — recently died. Candiace has yet to comment on Khyle’s death or her original comments

JEZEBEL – At first, it looked like the white Republican politician from Pennsylvania saying he was a “black gay guy” on Twitter had just forgotten to log into his burner account first. But then it turned out that the alleged burner account — which really did look fake as hell — belongs to a real black gay guy? And the black gay guy is also Patti LaBelle’s son? Twitter has gotten even weirder since the election

CELEBITCHY – It looks like the White House is still standing in name only. Apparently even the most die-hard staffers for America’s current president know he lost the election and that his legal challenges couldn’t stand up to a stiff breeze. The president himself remains in denial

THE BLAST – Britney Spears’ mother, Lynne Spears, says she agrees with Britney that Jamie Spears “should be removed as co-conservator of the singer’s estate.” Lynne’s lawyer has said as much in court in defense of Britney

LAINEY GOSSIP – So it looks like Dominic West is exactly as horrible a guy as everyone suspected. Weeks after news broke of his affair with his The Affair co-star Lily James — and the subsequent total sham photo shoot West cajoled his wife, Catherine Fitzgerald, into posing alongside him for — the couple’s marriage appears to be over. Catherine is apparently dropping Dominic like the skeleton of a bird she fished out of her dog’s mouth thinking it was a stick because “Lily means more to [Dominic] than just a fling.” I was less disgusted by the bird corpse

GO FUG YOURSELF – And now, some levity: “Oh, What the Hell, Let’s Look at More Hats”

DLISTED – Carl Lentz, the former pastor of Hillsong, was thrown out of his Bieber-tastic church after having a lengthy affair. Now, the woman with whom Lentz cheated is spilling her tea — and it sounds like he was just a wee bit manipulative

THE HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP – Kylie Jenner is the first Kardashian to reach the elusive 200 million follower plateau on Instagram. (She’s nowhere near the top — #1 is Christiano Ronaldo, with 242 million.) Raise your hand if you remember way back when she was just a little 50 million follower-tyke. She wasn’t even public with Tyga back then! Aah, they sure do grow up fast

VOX – Apparently Hillbilly Elegy is garbage, so this is a nice instance of the poster telling you exactly how good the movie will be

REALITY TEA – Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Jen Shah is already stepping forward as the shading grace of Bravo’s newest Real Housewives franchise. According to the Jen Shah RHOSLC gossip, the “plastic surgery scene in Utah is on fire,” and anyone in her strata who says they haven’t had work done is straight-up lying

THE BLAST – In other Real Housewives news, recently divorcing RHOBH star Erika Jayne has asked for “temporary support” from her soon-to-be ex-husband Thomas Girardi, and also claimed she’s “unaware of the full value” of the couple’s assets

JEZEBEL – The Republican Party is lining up behind America’s current president in trying to undermine confidence in the 2020 presidential election — which election said current president lost, to Joe Biden. Biden’s first day as President of the United States will be January 20th, 2021

VOX – I didn’t know it was possible to explain how Joe Biden will “fix Trump’s global mess” in just 600 words, but here’s Vox getting it done

THE HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP – Remember how Lil Wayne was one of a slew of rappers who endorsed America’s current president very late in the election cycle because they all valued money over people? Well, Lil Wayne’s daughter has something to say about her father’s decision. It’s a four-letter word, and it rhymes with “thumb”

CELEBITCHY – Did you know Joe and Jill Biden have two dogs, and that one of them is a rescue? I didn’t, but I’m excited because now we can have dogs back in the White House! The rescue’s name is Major, he’s a big goofy German Shepherd, and he will be the first rescue dog to live in the White House; also, he is a very good boy

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – “Former 90 Day Fiancé Star Nicole Nafziger is Accused of Posting Tribute to Herself From Fiancé Azan Tefou’s Social Media”

GO FUG YOURSELF – Emily Ratajkowski announced her pregnancy via a pap stroll and an essay on “gestation and gender” in the latest Vogue. Emily’s pregnancy pap stroll outfit of choice is also worth a look

LAINEY GOSSIP – Sofia Coppola’s newest movie, On The Rocks, is nothing you haven’t seen from her before. But maybe that’s exactly what you want in the middle of a pandemic and a presidential election that are essentially the same thing. Also of note: Bill Murray being Bill Murray, always a balm

DLISTED – Was anyone else’s Twitter feed so overwhelmed with piss takes on Kim Kardashian’s 40th birthday party announcement that you failed to notice Kanye wasn’t there for her private island soirée?

JEZEBEL – Headline of the Day; likely Content of the Week: “Thank the Satanic Panic for Beetlejuice, The Addams Family, and the Golden Age of Creepy Kids’ Shit”

THE BLAST – Old: Kim Zolciak spends two thousand dollars a day on “glam” for herself and her eighteen-year-old daughter. Shiny and new: Britney Spears drops $500 daily on a private in-home chef (practically a necessity in the time of COVID)

VOX – Further proof that just giving needy people money is probably a good idea: “A Canadian study gave $7,500 to homeless people. Here’s how they spent it: The results show the power of cash transfers to reduce homelessness.”

REALITY TEA – Southern Charm comes back tomorrow night, so naturally there’s a lot to unpack here: “Craig Conover Was ‘Heartbroken’ When Cameran Eubanks Quit Southern Charm, Says She Was Set To Film And Quit The Day Before, He Thinks He Can Convince Cameran To Return; Addresses Cheating Allegations Spread By Kathryn Dennis”

CELEBITCHY – I probably shouldn’t be tickled by this story George and Amal Clooney sharing power happily with Harry and Meghan, but it’s tough when literally everyone involved is this charming and suave

CELEBITCHY – It turns out we should maybe be referring to the Lily James affairs — as in plural. Just a week ago, it emerged that Lily and Dominic West had a “Roman bangathon” in full view of the paparazzi. And now it’s emerged that Lily and her Rebecca co-star Armie Hammer almost certainly carried on a passionate affair during filming

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – Jersey Shore Family Vacation star Deena Cortese is expecting her second child with husband Chris Buckner in May of 2021. In case you were wondering, Deena’s will be the ninth baby in total for the cast of Jersey Shore, which almost seems impossible given where the show started

DLISTED – Cardi B and Offset are taking some heat for their seeming addiction to Birkin bags. Offset has been flashing receipts for the $128,662.50 he spent on Birkins as a thank you to Cardi for taking him back. And that’s not counting the $20,000 he dropped on a bag for two-year-old Kulture’s birthday

VOX – A very important essay (if also very difficult to read), and no, I’m not being sarcastic: “What was fun? As we adjust to the ‘new normal,’ something’s missing”

GO FUG YOURSELF – Yesterday was the 50th anniversary of Pierre Cardin’s legendary semi-topless, semi-bottomless nurse outfit. Somehow I’ve still never seen this as a legit sexy nurse Halloween costume

THE BLAST – Drake just celebrated his 34th birthday with a huge party in an LA club. 34 somehow seems both too young and exactly right for Drake, who has looked kind of 34 forever. But the lack of masks and social distancing in the many pics of the party is troubling — is anyone still legit quarantining, or are we all playing pretend?

THE HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP – Kylie Jenner’s latest self-promoting Instagram photo album is Carole Baskin-inspired. Would you believe Tiger King came out this past March? I swear, everything that happened at the very beginning of 2020 feels at least two full years old

LAINEY GOSSIP – “In Totally Under Control, all of [documentarian Alex] Gibney’s chief interests are brought to bear: politics, dirty backroom deals, great Americans brought down by hubris. Some might argue using the word ‘great’ in terms of Donald Trump, but I think any US president hamstrung through sheer incompetence is of note, whether one approves of them personally or not. And in Totally Under Control, Gibney, along with directors Ophelia Harutyunyan and Suzanne Hillinger, lays out the step-by-step bungling of the US response to the coronavirus epidemic”

JEZEBEL – Finally, just in time for the final stretch of Halloween 2020, here are the ten winners of Jezebel’s annual scary story contest. You won’t believe #6

JEZEBEL – Still-current New Yorker writer, television pundit, and lawyer Jeffrey Toobin gave rise to the phrase “Zoom Dick” yesterday, after it emerged that Toobin mistakenly got his dick out during a Zoom meeting with at least seven other New Yorker heavyweights. The number of dick-related puns on Toobin’s name has been a delight

DLISTED – Neil deGrasse Tyson says there’s a decent chance an asteroid approximately the size of a refrigerator could “buzz-cut Earth” the day before the presidential election. Tyson also says the asteroid is too small “to cause harm,” which leads me to wonder: a refrigerator from the 1950s, or one from today?

THE BLAST – 50 Cent appears to intend to vote for America’s current president in the upcoming election. He announced this after seeing a graphic on the evening news featuring hypothetical upper tax brackets under the Biden plan, where people making more than $400,000 per year would see an increase. In unsurprising related news, 50 Cent appears to value money above all

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – “16 and Pregnant Season 6 Stars Madisen Beith & Rachelle Perez Give Updates on Their Lives as Teen Moms, Their Relationship Statuses & More”

REALITY TEA – RHOBH star Erika Jayne stole a meme from a noted fan account (@brandsbybravo), then didn’t credit the account in reposting it, *then* mocked the account when the woman behind it asked Erika for credit. It’s never a good sign when you start thinking you’re above the fan accounts

THE HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP – Kim Kardashian is upset over the affect the coronavirus pandemic has had on her 40th birthday plans. She intended to have a week-long party called “Wild, Wild Miss West’s 40th Birthday,” complete with a metal cowgirl costume (?), but now Kim’s had to scrap everything because no one will come because there’s a debilitating virus lurking in everyone’s bushes

CELEBITCHY – The British press is accusing one of the royal couples of elitism, “sitting in an ivory tower,” and “becoming a bit irrelevant.” Guess before you click: it is William and Kate, or Harry and Meghan?

LAINEY GOSSIP – I almost hate to agree with this deliciously hot mid-October take, but I, too, generally find Halloween to be an excruciating chore. I’m no good at figuring out costumes and I never have any budget to put together a truly scary murder show of decorations, and if you’re just going to throw up some tacky stuff from the costume shop then why bother at all?

DLISTED – Speaking of horror, Look Who’s Talking Too star Kirstie Alley is upset after tweeting defiant support for America’s current president and then having people call her on it

JEZEBEL – Supreme Court nominee Amy Comey Barrett sure doesn’t seem to have a lot of opinions on the sorts of things about which one might expect judges to be able to speak intelligently

GO FUG YOURSELF – I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that major movie productions have ramped back up in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, as we’ve had big money sports in some form or another for months as well. And with that: here are some new photos from the sets of both Mission Impossible 7 and The Batman

REALITY TEA – Vanderpump Rules star Brittany Cartwright is asking fans for prayers for her mother, Sherri, who’s in the hospital for the second time in the past several months after going “septic with [her] kidneys”
