LINKS Prince Phillip’s death, JLo’s engagement ring, Jax Taylor high…
CELEBITCHY – Prince Philip’s death has a whole bunch of monarchical knives coming out, some of them in pathetic ways. Like this one: Prince Andrew, who was basically exiled from public life in 2019 after it became clear he was in some sort of cahoots with Jeffrey Epstein, is now leveraging his father’s death to make himself look like a savior for coming to his mother’s side

Stateside, Fox News is more or less accusing Oprah of murdering Philip, since it was her interview with Meghan and Harry that led, directly and unequivocally, to the 99-year-old ailing man’s death

GO FUG YOURSELF – If you’re anything like me, you’re a complete and total sucker for obvious-yet-entertaining Speed references. And if you’re not, rest assured that this gallery has an abundance of photos of Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock looking way too young and gorgeous at the movie’s 1995 premiere
REALITY TEA – Never get tired of this back-and-forth: “Hannah Ferrier Says Captain Sandy Yawn Was Competitive And Wanted Her Gone From Below Deck Mediterranean From The Beginning; Captain Sandy Says She’s A Real Captain And Hannah Was Just There For The Camera”
THE HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP – I guess it’s a good thing any time a member of the Duggar clan puts some genuine physical distance between themselves and the rest of the family’s Arkansas tentacles
THE BLAST – Nick Cannon is going to have twin babies by a 30-year-old DJ named Abby De La Rosa
