THE BLAST – Turns out that the woman who bailed R. Kelly out of jail in Chicago runs a daycare there. So R. Kelly’s guardian angel paid $100,000 for the privilege of having her business get absolutely overrun with negative press and bad reviews from people who’ve learned about it from the negative press
THE BLEMISH – Immediately after making bail, R. Kelly headed for the “Rock ‘n’ Roll McDonalds” in Chicago’s River North — the same place he apparently used to (and still does?) go to pick up teenage girls
REALITY TEA – RHONJ star Danielle Staub is out in public with her new man four days after her divorce from now-ex-husband Marty Caffrey went through
CELEBITCHY – Lady Gaga is catching some heat for her extremely let’s call it “believable” performance of “Shallow” alongside Bradley Cooper at the Academy Awards with Cooper’s wife sitting in the front row
LAINEY GOSSIP – Kate Mara likes to announce major life events like marriage and pregnancy in almost as low-key a way as possible (the low-keyest would be making no announcement and just appearing with a baby one day) and it’s a refreshing method
VOX – Kim Kardashian is accusing Missguided of “using her name and image without permission” and is suing the company for $10 million. Given the Kardashians’ sketchy history of using other fashion ideas without permission, this seems like a potentially risky legal move
DLISTED – Add Janet Jackson’s name to the list of music icons and / or current A-listers getting paid crazy money to do a Vegas residency
THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – Kailah Casillas Says Lindsay Lohan Did Not Seem Sober & Exhibited Strange Behavior During the Filming of ‘Lindsay Lohan’s Beach Club’
JEZEBEL – It turns out that playing the same music on a loop in retail spaces has a seriously negative affect on the people who work in those spaces. I know it’s probably hard to believe this — especially if you’ve ever worked retail — but it seems to be true
