Nicole Richie is promoting Paris & Nicole: The Encore, her return to reality TV alongside Paris Hilton, and honestly? She looks GREAT. The fits are fantastic. Did Nicole always have personal style this good? Was it just the millennial fashion that was bad? (Go Fug Yourself)

Show your work, kitchen edition! Chef Peter Chang talks about how the kitchens of his Chinese restaurant empire handle the Christmas kitchen rush. I always wonder how restaurants get through the holidays. There’s a diner near me famous for their pie, and at Thanksgiving and Christmas, they’ll have people lined up five blocks deep, AT LEAST, to pick up pie orders. This glimpse into Peter Chang’s empire during the Christmas rush is fascinating. And it made me very hungry, the scallion pancakes sound amazing. (Eater)

Related: Netflix just released the documentary Biggest Heist Ever, about the world’s dumbest criminals attempting a multi-billion-dollar bitcoin heist and blowing it because they can’t stop posting. The darkest timeline and the stupidest timeline have fully merged. (Defector)
