Oh, in other internet rabbit holes — yesterday I was reading about Posh Spice, because I’m high brow, and did you guys know about this? (From her Wikipedia page) 😳
In January 2000, a tip-off to Scotland Yard detectives exposed a plot to kidnap Victoria and Brooklyn Beckham and hold them at a house in Hampstead, London. The family was then moved to a secret location, but no arrests were made.[145] In March of that year, she received a death threat prior to performing at the Brit Awards with the Spice Girls, and in the show's rehearsal, a red laser light appeared on her chest and she was rushed off stage. After a fire door was found to be lodged open, it was thought that there had been an assassin there, and Beckham later revealed that she was terrified by the experience.[145] In November 2002, five people were arrested after another plot for her kidnap was infiltrated by a tabloid newspaper.[146] All charges were dropped after a witness was deemed unreliable.[147]

Brad Pitt in The River Runs Through It is my fave. He’s not too shabby in Legends of the Fall either. He’s been looking not so great (to me) for a few years now. Is this where I admit I was very attracted to him in his most recent "once upon a time in hollywood"?

That's terrible. Seriously, it is! I read another story (I think from her autobiography, IIRC?) that at a music award show after that, she was performing and heard “pop pop pop” and doubled over because she was shot. It was a big balloon-popping stunt. The papers showed a picture of the Spice Girls getting an award moments later, “Posh gets emotional,” but she said the tears were because she was so relieved when she realized there hadn’t been gunshots. I’ve never been a particular fan (even of the Spice Girls) so not sure why I studied the topic for half an hour yesterday 🙃 but wow, did that make me feel badly for her.

Paris is on Drew Barrymore's show right now.
The show is as terrible as I thought it would be

Is this where I admit I was very attracted to him in his most recent "once upon a time in hollywood"? Me too. And I’m on the record here with the UO of finding Aiden Quinn more attractive in Legends of the Fall, so I was surprised. 😂 I like the aging-into-Redford thing he’s got going on. When he isn’t dressing like a hippie aunt.

The initialed rapper saved himself another trip to jail with his settlement with the government. The government will be less kind to the crypto Ponzi guy running for President who also likes to participate in rape parties. Oh, and the one named rapper who is helping him take all the money.

I thought the same. I watched part of it because someone posted it praising her. I thought it was such a non apology, I couldn’t watch the thing.

Yup- and from what I can gather she seems pretty smart. Additionally, a lot of people have been bringing up the point that with someone who is as well known as Paris shining a light onto this horrible industry that it is helping so many other kids who don't have a platform. These school should be shut down, and she's highlighting the atrocities so that others will support the calls to shut the schools down. The more I read about Paris the more I realize how complex an individual she truly is- and I recognize she has said and done things that are not ok, but she has also had things said about her and done to her that are not ok either. I also didn’t realize her sex tape was made when she had just left high school. I read House of Hilton years ago and I have always had a soft spot for her because i think she grew up in a cycle of toxicity. But to be thrown into that kind of publicity shit storm with a video you made as a teenager, it’s so fucked up. And it’s kind of nuts how we all ate that up instead of realizing how disgusting and violating it was. Oh wow- I did not realize that the sex tape was when she had just left high school. That is so fucked up. I haven't read house of Hilton, but I've heard bits and pieces and the toxicity there is unreal.

September 11, 2020 I keep waiting for this still hated former A+ list reality star to finally make public the news there is a sex tape between herself and the permanent A list "singer." She is in control of it. It exists. Paris Hilton/Britney Spears going out on a limb here- but if this does exist and it's in Paris' control I don't think she'll release it. She would have by now if she was going to do it. I think especially after her documentary she won't because she probably recognizes how Brittany is struggling with mental health issues and doesn't want to exacerbate them. Has anyone watched her documentary? Can I get a summary? ETA rtmft worm

Has Jameela Jamil’s twitter exchange been discussed? She's the worst. Her follow-up isn't any better, "I would like to make it extremely clear that I don't give a flying fuck about what people *think* my intentions are. We do not as a society, have a great track record of trusting women's intentions and have been set up to not trust women in general since the story of Eden"

Not too surprising considering her initial statement was basically “I’m really sorry people were doing bad things completely without my knowledge!” I was mildly surprised to hear an ad for her “comeback show” on the radio recently, but I guess money buys a lot.

My friend used to run in the same circles as Paris. She has always said that Paris is really sweet. Nikki is a terrible person though.

I haven’t seen the documentary but I remember during The Simple Life there were times it seemed you got to see the “real” Paris; her voice changed, etc. I have no trouble believing that her persona has been mostly an act.

The singer turned talk show host wants to tell everything about her divorce, but is going to figure out a way to monetize it first. Just go back and read my reveals and you don't have to wait.

September 17, 2020 This foreign born alliterate celebrity is A+ list in his country, maybe even A++ list. In this country, he has popped up on a few reality shows, including the one starring his new wife. That husband/wife thing is on shaky ground to the point where they are not living together at this point, he unfollowed all of her friends on social media and she is back to posting thirst trap selfies trolling for a new guy. Ant Anstead/Christina Anstead (the power of a blind item because the next day they announced their split) I’m so interested in this...

It did move from abc to nbc where the rest of her shows are on

I would be surprised if Ellen's show lasts much longer. I think it was pittering out anyway, and it seems (from my extensive scrolling of social media) that a lot of people turned on her over the summer. Her schtick just isn't funny anymore, and everyone will be watching with a skeptical eye.
