LINKS Jeffrey Epstein suicide, Prince Andrew allegations, BH90210 reboot…

VOX – News of the Jeffrey Epstein suicide is still reverberating across the internet, but the investigation into the alleged sex trafficker and his ties to both the current President and one former President will continue. At the very least, many of the dozens of women who’ve accused Epstein of abusing them and introducing them to powerful people who abused them in turn say they intend to bring charges against as many of Epstein’s current and former associates as possible

JEZEBEL – As for the Jeffrey Epstein suicide itself: the guards at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, where Epstein was being held, were apparently stuck with “‘extreme’ overtime shifts thanks to staffing shortages.” Epstein’s suicide is currently at the heart of too many conspiracy theories to count

CELEBITCHY – Additionally, Epstein’s ties to Prince Andrew, about who there have been whispers and gossip for literally years, have come under new scrutiny over the past few weeks. But at least one British tabloid says that Epstein’s death is actually very good news for Andrew, and it’s hard to argue with their line of logic

THE BLEMISH – Finally, it seems that “a number of fashion industry figures” had close ties to Epstein. Among them: “established model scout” and manager Jean-Luc Brunel, plus Naomi Campbell and Heidi Klum (both of whom deny any close connection)

LAINEY GOSSIP – To be fair, I am not really the intended audience for the BH90210 reboot, but “smart” was not one of the words to come to my mind during the premiere episode last week

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – “Temptation Island Season 2 to Premiere in October: Meet the New Couples & Watch the Trailer”

REALITY TEA – Bravo’s first-ever fan convention — yes, it’s called “BravoCon,” in case you didn’t know — takes place this November in NYC and tickets go on sale tomorrow. Events start at 10 AM every day of the three-day weekend, which seems insanely early for any reality TV convention

DLISTED – Gywneth Paltrow being unaware of the people who starred alongside her in huge blockbuster films is not surprising. But it is definitely amusing

THE BLAST – But OJ Simpson *isn’t* dead! (Cue rimshot & audience groaning)

GO FUG YOURSELF – “NBC’s TCAs Were Mostly a Farewell to The Good Place,” which returns September 26th and comes to a bittersweet end far too soon after that
