In 2002, Julia Roberts wanted to get married. The problem? Her boyfriend's wife wouldn't sign the divorce papers. So she took matters into her own hands with one iconic but fugly t-shirt. I wrote about A Lot Vera on my newsletter! gossipreadingclub.substack.com/p/do-you-remem…

New on my newsletter. Celebrity Rehab sold itself as an insight into the cold hard reality of addiction, but it was really a vile excuse to gawk at vulnerable people in need. It's truly one of the most evil reality TV series ever made. gossipreadingclub.substack.com/p/do-you-remem…

Amanda Palmer made her name as a proud shit-stirring provocateur "feminist" who blurred the lines between fan and friend. Now, she's seen as a potential collaborator to her ex-husband's crimes. What do we do with her now? I wrote about it for pajiba. pajiba.com/celebrities_ar…

Remember when accused sex offender Russell Brand asked Katy Perry for a divorce via text message? Right before she was set to perform in front of 25k fans? And a documentary crew captured the whole thing? I wrote about it. pajiba.com/celebrities_ar…

“Why is it the Black man always dies in the first 10 pages?” @ceilidhann shines a light on the true beating heart of the MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE movies--Ethan's ride-or-die hacker confidante, Luther Stickell--and how Rhames brought him to stoic life. rogerebert.com/features/how-v…
