I’d argue that The Real Housewives of Potomac is underrated in terms of Housewives franchises. The shade is superb, they don’t pound storylines into the ground (see: Heather Gay’s played-out black eye on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City), and they haven’t totally messed up the sauce by recasting a ton–so the women actually seem like a cohesive group that wasn’t just thrown together. Though an OG, Robyn Dixon hasn’t contributed much over the years besides being Gizelle Bryant’s echo chamber and dressing in pizza delivery guy drag to see if Karen Huger actually lived in the house she said she was living in (it was a whole thing). But the lukewarm storyline she brought to the current season is whether she’d remarry her once-divorced-from ex-husband/former NBA player, Juan Dixon. They divorced years ago due to Juan putting his dix-on women who weren’t Robyn. Juan’s a known ho, so it wasn’t shocking when Karen accused him of cheating on Robyn again in a recent episode. Robyn denied it on camera but just admitted on her and Gizelle’s podcast, Reasonably Shady, that when Karen made the accusation, she already knew Juan did, in fact, get unreasonably shady with another woman. Robyn said she’d release more details about it for the podcast’s paying Patreon subscribers.

Magic Plantern!

Growing up, we had an extremely exquisite touch lamp that my mom bought at the swap meet, and my little gay mind blew into a cloud of glitter every time I turned it on or off by simply touching it. The future was then! But little did I know that there was an even more magical work of gorgeous lamp art that existed back then. Up until a week ago or so, I had no idea that back in the 1970s, a true genius and purveyor of sophisticated home decor created the gorgeous love child of a planter and a lamp. Magic Plantern was born, and it was a lamp in a planter that you could turn on by touching the plant’s leaves. What in “if Mother Nature graduated from MIT” wizardry…

Today, DC Studios’ co-heads, James Gunn and Peter Safran, laid down their (confusing) plans for the DC universe, including a Wonder Woman-based prequel series, a Superman reboot, a new Supergirl movie, a Booster Gold show, and a sequel for The Batman. And as for The Flash movie, starring allegedly abusive world terrorizer Ezra Miller, James called it “one of the best superhero movies I’ve ever seen,” and it seems like DC plans to stick with Ezra as long as Ezra stays out of trouble. So translation: “My job is riding on The Flash, and so we’re going to keep a shock collar, a muzzle, and a ball and chain on that bitch Ezra until after that shit finally comes out.”  – Pajiba

Angelina Jolie’s presence at the Guerlain boutique in Paris brought out a massive crowd of St. Angie disciples who swarmed the store. Okay, but I’m not that impressed with their devotion to her since none of them wore a Le Team Jolie t-shirt – Lainey Gossip

Last week, Julia Fox gave us a TikTok tour of her surprisingly modest New York apartment, complete with clutter, a bed in the living room, and a wee mouse problem. Relatable (except switch out Ms. Fox’s single mouse for my 12,000 potato bugs). She shares her Upper East Side home with her 2-year-old son, Valentino. Page Six reports that yesterday, 32-year-old Julia made another TikTok in response to this comment on her original video: “Isn’t she worth like 30 million dollars?” Translation: why doesn’t Julia live in a mansion and/or penthouse like other famous types? Julia says it’s because she doesn’t want her son to grow up to be “a fuckin’ prick.”

Alec Baldwin’s been spending his time on the outside world on Instagram, posting a pic of one of his thousand children alongside an unsettlingly suggestive caption and begging people to help his fugazi señora, Hilaria Thomas Baldwin (seen above dreaming up ways to smuggle Baldwinito Batter in a condom out of the prison visitation room) reach a million followers. But it’s a real possibility that he may soon have to live in captivity. Earlier this month, we heard that he’d be charged for his role in the accidental shooting death of Halyna Hutchins on the Santa Fe, NM set of Rust, and today he was formally charged with manslaughter. Of course, the always-attention-ready Hillary Tomás took the opportunity to speak about it. This time, she took to her podcast, Witches Anonymous, to discuss the emotional toll all of this has had on their family rather than employing her last PR strategy of stepping out in a sweatshirt with a laughable quality she doesn’t possess splayed across her always-nursing chichis while yelling at the paps in Spanglish.
