MORNING TEA: Barbie Sequel Stalled & MAFS Bec Is Selling Her Ring

Blake Lively is back with a sweet little hair tutorial, but the timing has everyone talking about the brutal report that her haircare brand is quietly "circling the drain," and the savage things said about her in leaked legal docs.

Plus, Khloe Kardashian has a new reality show, and we're deep diving why it might just signal the death of reality TV as we know it, despite having every ingredient that should've made it work.

And a quick love letter to the teen drama that's become our whole personality this month, now officially renewed for round two.

MORNING TEA: Jon Snow Is Joining Hogwarts & Belmont Cameli Flirts With...Martha Stewart?

Dakota Johnson and Role Model and the timing is wild given she was literally the female voice on his new album weeks ago. We're unpacking the whiplash of that breakup, and why Taylor Swift's suspiciously well-timed dinner date with Dakota this weekend has us convinced it's very real.

And we're still not over Margaret Qualley's barely-there Chanel shoes from last week's red carpet. We're revisiting the internet's meltdown over the world's most controversial "shoe," plus whether it even counts as a fashion moment.

Plus, a bombshell Substack from a legendary royal insider has seemingly confirmed exactly why Meghan Markle's big Netflix return got pulled, and we're digging into what it means for her and Harry's rumoured move back to the UK.
