LINKS Prince Andrew now just Andrew, Victoria’s Secret canceled, Grace Millane case…
CELEBITCHY – With Prince Andrew now just Andrew thanks to the fallout from his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and the absolute catastrophe that was his BBC interview, the royal family would like to believe that the worst of this particular scandal has passed. Buckingham Palace is about to be inundated with PR people sending unsolicited résumés
LAINEY GOSSIP – It’s also completely unsurprising that there are now at least two major features on the people responsible for making Andrew’s interview happen and the process behind its production. And even in these pieces Andrew stands out as being almost childishly naïve about how badly the thing went
DLISTED – The 2019 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show has officially been canceled, and it looks like the show is not likely to come back anytime soon. I had completely forgotten that it usually films right around this time of year, which definitely says something about my shortcomings as a gossip blogger but also speaks to how irrelevant the lingerie parade was becoming
VOX – “She was fatally strangled. The media is making it about her sex life: Grace Millane’s story is part of a larger pattern of victim-blaming”
JEZEBEL – Yet another reason to hate leaf blowers and never ever use them: they make yards “too tidy” and contribute to the very literal “insect armageddon” happening across our dying planet right now. (Terrible as that is, the best reason to hate leaf blowers is still that they make the worst sound in the world)
THE BLAST – Meet the people where they are, Yeezy: “Kanye West will have plenty of sinners to fill with the power of the lord if he accepts the invitation to bring his Sunday Service to a popular strip club in New York City”
REALITY TEA – “Former Real Housewives Of Orange County Star Jeana Keough Wants A Reboot Starring The Original Kids Of Orange County”
THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – Jersey Shore star Angelina Pivarnick is apparently not speaking to three of her co-stars-slash-bridesmaids because they roasted her with some good-natured jokes during their speeches at her wedding this week. Isn’t roasting and / or telling embarrassing stories from childhood pretty standard for a wedding toast? I don’t think I’ve ever been to a wedding that didn’t have at least one speech intended to tease the newlyweds
GO FUG YOURSELF – With every red carpet premiere, Clint Eastwood looks more like Jack Skellington’s great-grandfather
