I tried not to read any shade in Prince William’s tribute to Prince Philip yesterday but a lot of people did, including some royal experts who say that his comment at the end was a “strong obvious sting” against his brother, Prince Harry. I mean…sure, if that’s how you want to see it, don’t let me get in your way. For me, if anything, it wasn’t necessarily a jab at his brother but there may have been a strong whiff of Timberlake “me-ness”. (Cele|bitchy)
Is this the celebrity scandal we deserve? Usher was accused of tipping exotic dancers with fake money – but it turns out the cash was legit and everybody got paid, and it was just a misunderstanding.

This is pretty innocuous by today’s standards, but back then, in 2001, it may been a moment. She was not the Keira Knightley we know today. In fact, nobody knew her. So this was definitely a statement. (Go Fug Yourself)
How close are Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart. Do you believe they are best friends? Do you think they’re even friends? How well do they know each other? Does that even matter? Because they certainly have great chemistry. And they clearly don’t mind spending time together – and making money together. And they make each other laugh. There’s more than enough here. (Pajiba)
Aaron Rodgers has entered the second week of his two week hosting residency on Jeopardy. So far he seems to be doing well – but well enough to be the new permanent host? This period of guest hosting has, as Claire McNear writes, has asked the show itself and its contestants to rethink the game. And this process is proving what we all knew: Alex Trebek cannot be easily replaced. (The Ringer)
