LINKS Charisma Carpenter and Joss Whedon, Britney becoming ‘normal,’ JWoww’s vow…
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. According to Charisma — whose lengthy post was backed up by other former cast members — Whedon was a bully on set and created a toxic environment that traumatized her for years
THE BLAST – Britney Spears has yet to address her infamous conservatorship or the new Netflix documentary about her, but she has used social media to tell her fans that she’s using the time off to learn how to become a “normal person”
THE HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP – JWoww says she’s done with Jersey Shore if she has to share another set with Angelina Pivarnick

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

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”
