LINKS! Louis CK tries again, Harvard axes Kavanaugh, Mariah Carey bombs hard…

VOX – The other night, Louis CK did another unannounced set at the Comedy Cellar. This time, the audience’s reaction was mixed (unlike his August set, where he reportedly got a standing ovation). Hopefully, Louis will interpret the smattering of boos and walkouts to mean “You don’t get to perform standup comedy for awhile” and creep back out of the public eye for longer than not long enough

CELEBITCHY – Thanks to the overwhelming and growing backlash to his Supreme Court nomination and general bed-wetting before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week, humble everyman Brett Kavanaugh will no longer be teaching at the humble everyman institution of *checks notes* the Harvard University School of Law

THE BLEMISH – Did you know Mariah Carey has a new single out? Apparently not, since the track — entitled “GTFO” — took its own advice and sold a grand total of zero copies and streams during its first weekend of release

REALITY TEA – Former Shahs of Sunset star Lilly Ghalichi gave birth to a beautiful little baby girl and plugged her line of eyelashes in the same post, congrats on your child and your hustle!

DLISTED – Asia Argento, who has been accused of sexually assaulting a 17-year-old when she was 37, then paying him $380,000 to keep quiet about it, would very much like to have her job as a host on X Factor Italy back

JEZEBEL – For my money, Bradley Cooper’s most memorable role was the time he asked Sean Penn a question on Inside The Actors Studio while Cooper was a student at Pace University

LAINEY GOSSIP – Ben Affleck was spotted walking around Santa Monica while on a break from his extended stint in rehab, and he’s looking pretty brawny. Not Batman-level brawny, but definitely take-on-two-dudes-in-a-bar-fight jacked. Whether or not people are still willing to pay for tickets to see that is another question

THE BLAST – I’ll say this much for Jimmy Fallon: If he can have this good a time with Post Malone, of all people, he’s got to be at least as goofy and laid-back as his Tonight Show persona would have you believe, if not more so
