TV Updates “Wealth, Privilege, and Gwyneth” Is that redundant?

In Mindy Kaling’s book Why Not Me? she writes about being at a very famous people party where a very famous popstar got offended when she made a joke about anti-vaxxers as there were several people there who were anti-vaxxers. She has never revealed who that was but I By Lainey • Jun 13, 2019 11:03 am
Dumbass Intro for June 13, 2019 Dear Gossips, Alright well everybody can calm down now because Justin Bieber has confirmed that he was just joking about wanting to get into the Octagon with Tom Cruise.

Dumbass Bond 25 actually tried it today Yesterday I got a marketing email that completely baffled me. It was a “media alert!” announcing that this morning there would be a “live launch” of Bond 25, and as I read the email, I legit laughed out loud. They’re trying it? This week? THIS week of ALL weeks? By Sarah • Apr 25, 2019 02:41 pm
