Legendary musical composer Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber is having a rough one as his newest musical, Bad Cinderella, is a flop and will be leaving Broadway this summer. Once Bad Cinderella closes, ALW’s 43-year streak of having a show running on Broadway will come to an end. The Phantom of the Opera ended its record-breaking 35-year run last month. Poor guy–and he really needed a win after the Cats movie!

When we last left Mama June Shannon last year, she had just married her boyfriend of a year Justin Stroud. Before that, she was in a messy, messy relationship with Gene Doak that involved a DUI crash, drug-induced fights, and June getting busted for drug possession in Alabama. Mama June is sober now, and while promoting her new series Mama June: Family Crisis, she tells The Daily Mail that she really, really regrets blowing through $1 million in drugs. But Mama June is on a budget now, so she’s probably strictly using generic brand ketchup and butter for her world-famous sketti sauce.

And a huge part of me wishes she had waited even longer, mainly because she reportedly named him after an iconic 90s rapper whose group famously admitted that their music is 100% for the children (and no, she didn’t name him ODB, but she should have).

It seemed like little Hilary Duff had only just grown into her veneers when in the blink of an eye, we were reading that for an ancient, decrepit 35-year-old, she still looks great! She’s been pretty unproblematic for her long celeb tenure, so when she admitted on a podcast that she sometimes practices Gwyneth Paltrow’s widely-criticized morning ritual of not eating food and only getting their tweak on with black coffee, it didn’t sound as alarming or nefarious. The fact that Bethenny Frankel didn’t run to her defense and Hilary didn’t follow it up by trying to peddle and/or eat coochie candle probably also didn’t hurt.
