Goodbye (for Now) to ‘RHONY,' a Perfect Reality Show in Which Nothing Ever Really Happened
Sometimes it's hard to say goodbye to a thing, even when it needs to end. In the same way that I cried at my college graduation despite being extremely ready to stop attending, so do I mourn the end (for now, at least, per Page Six) of The Real Housewives of New York City, even though the show was—pretty objectively speaking—ready to conclude its recent trend of working passionately to make something out of nothing.
While I can't speak for much of RHONY's 17-year history, I am intimately familiar with the goings-on of the current cast, and as such, I feel reasonably qualified to say that not much was going on with Jenna, Brynn, Ubah, Jessel, Erin, Sai, Racquel, Rebecca, or any members of their extended universe by the end of last season. Indeed, much of the drama painstakingly squeezed out of Season 15 concerned a fake rumor spread among the women for the specific purpose of seeing how far it would travel. And yet! I was somehow still riveted!
Do I think it's a matter of national import that RHONY continue to air with its current cast lineup? No, but checking in to see what nonsense the girlies were up to felt like attending a weekly dinner party with longtime friends I had nothing in common with anymore but still enjoyed gossiping about. In a way, I wonder if catching up on RHONY drama in my 30s has replaced the chaotic friend-group drama of my 20s: Now that I've stopped picking inane fights with my friends, I've had the emotional capacity to keep up with the socio-emotional mess wrought by the RHONY crew, and it's hard to imagine my week without them. Someone pick up Season 16 on another network challenge! Those are my emotional support toxic besties!

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Spotted Kissing in Multiple Fan Videos From Last Night
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce could. not. stop. being adorable last night. In case you missed their surprise appearance, the pair showed up to the Stanley Cup Final in Florida—where they're currently spending time while Travis trains for the NFL season. Their general vibe? But Taylor and Travis were also caught on camera kissing and cuddling multiple times from multiple angles and can't lie: The footage (gathered by @swifferupdates) is extremely sweet. Literally me after watching these videos: FYI, all this romance comes amid a source telling People, 'Taylor is really looking forward to the upcoming NFL season' thanks to it being the first full season that she hasn't also been juggling a tour schedule. 'This fall will be completely different,' the source said. 'It's the first season where she's not constantly flying back and forth or working around an entire touring calendar. The past two seasons were a whirlwind between performing across multiple countries, long flights, and trying to squeeze in alone time together wherever possible. It wasn't easy but they made it work. Her schedule is much more open now that the Eras Tour is wrapped and she's genuinely excited to have the time and flexibility to show up for Travis more consistently.' Apparently, Taylor will be at 'as many of his games as possible,' so get ready. You Might Also Like Here's What NOT to Wear to a Wedding Meet the Laziest, Easiest Acne Routine You'll Ever Try

Quentin Tarantino's Massive Pay for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood 2 Revealed
Dropped in amongst the news that Yahya Abdul-Mateen II would be joining the upcoming Once Upon a Time in Hollywood 2, Jeff Sneider of The InSneider also reported that Quentin Tarantino was receiving a big payday for writing the script. According to Sneider's report, Tarantino is getting a whopping $20 million for the script, with Netflix also reportedly offering Leonardo DiCaprio 'millions of dollars' to return and reprise his role as Rick Dalton in a cameo. According to initial reports on the movie, David Fincher and Pitt will reunite to work on a sequel to Quentin Tarantino's 2019 comedy drama, with Pitt reprising his role as stuntman Cliff Booth. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is rumored to be playing a character 'in the vein of Jim Brown, who famously ended his Hall of Fame football career early to focus on acting, starring in such hits as The Dirty Dozen.' According to a separate report from The InSneider's Jeff Sneider, Leonardo DiCaprio — who starred alongside Pitt in the original film — is in talks to join Pitt and Fincher and reprise his role as Rick Dalton. As for Margot Robbie, who played Sharon Tate in the movie, early reports mention that she is also 'available' for the movie should Fincher come calling. As for how this movie came together, The Playlist notes that the script for the film was something that his script for The Movie Critic (which was also rumored to involve Pitt as Booth in some capacity) evolved into over time. Tarantino also has a unique deal with Sony Pictures on the rights to various aspects of Once Upon a Time. A release date for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood 2 has not yet been announced.
