DLISTED – The beef between Meek Mill and Vanessa Bryant appears to be over — Meek announced on Twitter that he’d apologized to Vanessa “in private” after she criticized his (honestly pretty lazy) lyrics referencing / disrespecting Kobe Bryant’s death in a helicopter crash. Vanessa has yet to address the apology, though
REALITY TEA – In Bryant news of a different sort, RHOP star Gizelle Bryant is stirring up that cross-Housewives pot with some words for Real Housewives of Salt Lake City breakout star Mary Cosby.

Highlights include June “finally” going to rehab and her psychiatrist telling her she’s “out of [her] mind” for thinking she should be in her daughters’ lives right now
VOX – In case you needed another reason to never, ever use apps, here’s a good one: “App trackers secretly sell your location data to the government. App stores won’t stop them”
