Ellen Pompeo has a unique perspective on the coverage of Kobe Bryant's shocking death.

And also a very negative one.

Earlier this month, Jessica Simpson revealed that she'd been sexually abused as a child and that the resulting trauma led to years of chronic substance abuse.

Simpson's drug of choice was alcohol, and she says she spent much of her adult life self-medicating to the point of total numbness.

Even though 50 Cent is no stranger to body-shaming women, this time, he's getting accused of being more than just a douchecanoe.

After he forced his girlfriend Cuban Link (apparently a real name) to delete an Instagram photo, fans are accusing him of being creepily controlling.

In recent years, Jinger Duggar has captured the imagination of fans like no one else in her family.

Sure, many are obsessed with the fact that Jana Duggar is still single, but at this point, there's no denying that Jinger is the greatest source of intrigue within the Counting On clan.

The tragic death of Kobe Bryant has prompted a great deal of sorrow and sympathy from the public at large.

Sadly, it has also prompted renewed disdain between Blac Chyna and Kylie Jenner.

Well, it's official -- Snooki is retiring from Jersey Shore.

Obviously, the news came as a shock to fans, many of whom say they can't imagine the show continuing in a post-Snooki era.

The shocking death of Kobe Bryant is being felt far beyond the sports world.

As previously noted, A-List celebrities have also reacted to the tragedy that took place on Sunday morning -- when a private helicopter crashed, taking the lives of Bryant, his daughter and seven other individuals -- but so have relatively lesser-known entertainers.

If you watched Monday night's episode of The Bachelor, you might have come away from it a bit uncertain about who will seize the title as this season's resident Wild Card.

We call this honor the Luke Parker Award for Excellence In Keeping a Decades-Old Reality Franchise Fresh Through Batsh-t Insanity.

It's been three weeks since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry stepped down as senior members of the royal family.

Questions remain about what exactly prompted the duke and duchess of Sussex to make the decision, and at this point, it's beginning to look like the mystery will never fully be solved.

It's been a rumor that's been floating around the Internet for several months.

But the question now must be asked:

Well, folks, it's an election year, which means that if you're anything like us, your social media feeds are choked with hot takes and even hotter debates.

Today's political climate is so divisive it's not uncommon to see families torn apart, even in cases where most members share similar core values and beliefs.

Late in 2019, Amy Roloff moved into her new home, leaving her old house and Roloff Farms behind. This was a huge change.

But what will become of the old farmhouse? Matt responded to that question just recently.

Jana Duggar has her own personal Instagram account...

... and this has gotten her in some trouble with fans and/or with members of her own family, considering such self-promotion goes against those infamously strict Duggar rules.

Just because Jim and Meghan King Edmonds' former threesome partner has been revealed doesn't mean that the story is over.

Their marriage is over, however. Meghan says that the embryos that they made together will remain frozen forever.

Robyn Brown didn't merely live-Tweet the most recent episode of Sister Wives.

She also live-mocked the man around whom this TLC reality show is built.

If you watched Monday night's episode of The Bachelor, you might have been shocked by a number of things:

Maybe it was the return of Alayah Benavidez, or the way Alayah was able to steal the spotlight after the other women put themselves at risk for CTE, or the fact that there was an entire two-hour episode with no freakin' rose ceremony ...

After Sunday's tragic helicopter crash, many have honored Kobe Bryant with memorial tributes to him and to his 13-year-old daughter who died with him.

Now, Shannon Beador is honoring one of the crash's other victims - basketball coach Christina Mauser.

It's tough to tell what exactly is going on in Jenelle Evans' love life these days.

As we're sure you know, Evans is separated from David Eason and living far from The Land in Nashville, Tennessee.

Welp, that was all very awkward.

Which is just how ABC executives wanted it, of course.

Justin Timberlake and Kobe Bryant were friends.

They weren't just celebrities who happened to know each other and the singer isn't upset that Kobe Bryant died on Sunday just because he saw him play basketball a few times.

By now, you've almost certainly heard the heartbreaking news.

Basketball legend Kobe Bryant was killed in a helicopter crash on Sunday along with his 13-year-old daughter and seven other victims.
