REALITY TEA – “Sundays have become the best night of the week thanks to Real Housewives of Potomac. The ladies are really on their game this season. On tonight’s episode, Ashley Darby hosts a sip and see event for the ladies to meet her baby Dean.

VOX – “In HBO’s Lovecraft Country, cosmic horrors pale next to the reality of racism: The new horror series takes a bevy of fun pop culture tropes on a ride through Jim Crow America”
GO FUG YOURSELF – Steve-O had himself duct taped to a billboard outside a CVS in order to promote whatever he’s got going on right now that isn’t the new Jackass movie
LAINEY GOSSIP – Finally, enjoy the trailer for Netflix’s movie The Devil All the Time, a Midwestern Gothic film starring Robert Pattinson as a “shady old timey preacher with frilled tuxedo shirts” out next month
