THE BIGGEST SCANDAL on the set of the latest “Real Housewives of New York” reunion taping in September wasn’t a catty confessional interview or backstabbing dinner conversation. It was a pair of Levi’s. Jenna Lyons , one of the franchise’s new faces and the former creative director of J.Crew, broke with unspoken “Housewives” reunion protocol and eschewed frippery, instead wearing a blazer, sheer top and jeans. “The women normally go all out with rhinestones, feathers and gowns to the floor,” said Brian Moylan, author of 2021’s “The Housewives.” Lyons’s outfit triggered fan furor on social media. As Moylan explained, “For Jenna to wear jeans seemed like [she was] disrespecting the level of effort it takes to be a Housewife.”

Though abortion is legal in Guam up to 13 weeks of pregnancy, and later in certain cases, the last doctor who performed abortions left the island in 2018. BackgroundAbortion has long been a taboo topic on the culturally conservative island where about 80 percent of the inhabitants are Catholic. A federal court ruled that the ban was unconstitutional and blocked the territorial government from enforcing it, but the attorney general is fighting to try to revive the ban. That law was then blocked by a federal judge, allowing the doctors to send abortion pills. But with the momentum of the Supreme Court decision last year that overturned the national right to abortion, the Guam attorney general’s office said the injunction should be lifted.

While abortion is legal in the US territory of Guam, it can be almost impossible to get. There are no doctors left on the island to perform abortions, so patients rely on telemedicine. If a pregnant person can't use abortion pills, their next best option is an 8-hour flight to Hawaii. Just two doctors are licensed and willing to provide care in Guam, though they are both based in Hawaii, The Times reported. On the island, anti-abortion sentiment persists among citizens, many of whom are Catholic, and within the local government, The Times reported.

But we don't need research to prove that the post-COVID-19 celebrities will all look a little bit like Leslie Jordan. Jordan is one of the true stars of the lockdown, amassing more than 3.8 million Instagram followers in a little over a month. Our dear Leslie might be complaining a bit, but he's still trying to make the most of what he has. Jordan just got on Instagram about a year ago at the urging of the PR team for the one-season FX sitcom "The Cool Kids." They signed him up with an Instagram account, and he started recording videos from his home in West Hollywood, California.
