Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes are really leaning into their messy behaviour, creating a whole second act around it. They had an affair, we get it! They traded journalism for journaling their feelings via this podcast. The recap for the latest episode include them talking about how their kids are handling it, particularly Amy’s because you know what people in their late teens/earl 20s love? When their famous mom talks about their family dynamic with her affair partner on a podcast. (Click to see Reel)

 

This isn’t a pregnancy announcement (to be honest I had to Google if she had already announced) but an observation: is it me or has there been an uptick in maternity-centric magazine spreads?

As Lainey wrote, Cardi B is being taunted by her ex and they will have a concert-off on New Year’s Eve. There’s also been some issues with Nicki Minaj and Cardi responded.

Guy Fieri has inheritance stipulations for his kids but he’s not fully going Logan Roy.

I debated on posting about Demi Lovato because of the gross and stalkerish behaviour she is facing, but then I also wonder if not acknowledging it is doing Demi a disservice.
