LINKS! Worst Met Gala looks, Sandra Bland video, Common sexual assault…
LAINEY GOSSIP – Gwyneth Paltrow didn’t have one of the worst Met Gala looks of all time — but, given that it looks like she didn’t get the memo about this year’s theme, she definitely topped the Worst list for 2019
GO FUG YOURSELF – Almost everyone who wore Louis Vuitton to the Met Gala could vie for a second-place tie right behind Gwyneth: “Every year, I feel like Louis Vuitton just packs its people off to the Met in a bunch of its regular stuff.”
VOX – It turns out that Sandra Bland filmed the traffic stop that led to her arrest and subsequent death in a Texas jail in July of 2015. The video wasn’t made public until this week, and has set off a whole new round of protests over Bland’s treatment and concerns about police force
JEZEBEL – Common has just published a memoir entitled Let Love Have The Last Word; in it, he describes suffering a sexual assault during a family trip when he was nine or ten years old
THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – “Teen Mom 2 Fans Refused to Watch Monday’s Episode Following David Eason Dog-Killing Incident: Here’s How Their Boycott Affected the Show’s Ratings”
REALITY TEA – Don’t expect Karen Huger’s gracious acceptance of Gizelle Bryant’s cookies and immediate door-in-her-face closure on the RHOP Season 4 premiere to lead to a newfound friendship between the two of them
CELEBITCHY – “Yacht racing for charity” is really not a good look for any celebrity, British royalty or otherwise
THE BLEMISH – Somehow Disney expected people to be excited by a release calendar stretching ten years into the future (that’s movies and TV) and revealing they’re basically planning to do what they’re already doing now
THE BLAST – Judging by all the attention they’re drawing to their renovation of the Brady Bunch house, you’d think HGTV was this fly-by-night network banking everything on one huge iconic job to turn its reputation golden
DLISTED – Tamar Braxton straight-up acknowledged she didn’t attend her niece Lauren’s funeral because she didn’t have time
