LINKS! Manafort triples down, Kim Kardashian on ecstasy, Michael B Jordan glory…
VOX – Paul Manafort, who earlier this year was convicted on federal charges that included lying about his lobbying for foreign interests, and who accepted a plea deal to avoid a second trial on charges that included more lying about other alleged federal crimes, has now apparently voided that deal after Robert Mueller’s team discovered he’d been lying to them for months
CELEBITCHY – In related bad news for Donald Trump, his administration is also under fire for Sunday’s Border Patrol tear gas attack on the migrant caravan at the San Ysidro Port of Entry
THE BLEMISH – Kim Kardashian has now admitted to doing ecstasy twice in her life: once before she got married, and the other before she had sex with Ray J on film
LAINEY GOSSIP – Creed II just had the biggest opening weekend Thanksgiving box office of all time for a live-action movie. Coupled with his work in Black Panther, which remains the highest grossing movie of 2018 domestically, this means Michael B. Jordan is now a 100% legit movie star — so congrats to him

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – The Hills stars Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt celebrated their tenth wedding anniversary a few days ago, and congratulations to them. But their tabloid-dubbed joint nickname ‘Speidi’ still sounds like a goofy Italian dessert and the tenth anniversary was a golden chance to finally invent and ingest one (they did neither)
THE BLAST – If you’ve got $3 million to spend and would like a giant swimming pool in your gianter living room, Young Thug’s Atlanta mansion is on the market. He’s claiming foundation and mold damage, though, so you might want to get a good home inspector
