Leah Remini Has Joined the 'Real Housewives'

Eagle-eyed readers might be wondering why there are two posts marked as Pajiba Love tonight, and that’s because I screwed up. I can’t change Hayden Panettiere to just News once she’s published without breaking a whole bunch of stuff. So, that’s the story of Mike’s dumb fingers checking the wrong box.

Wicherwill likes a good Pride & Prejudice riff and was intrigued by Melissa Yi’s Pride & Provocateur. “The original point of the family having that many daughters is the abject poverty that they’d all sink to without a marriage-and lucky for us, capitalism has given us many different avenues to explore the same idea, e.g., the precarity of life without a safety net from a job or inheritance or partner.” Do you have a favorite modern retelling? (Cannonball Read 18)

If this hits Mar-A-Lago we’ll know it’s her for sure.
