Life imitates art! Haley Lu Richardson isn’t that different from her White Lotus character.
Tanya approves! Jennifer Coolidge caught Chloe Fineman‘s impression of her on the latest episode of Saturday Night Live — and she’s a fan.
Count on Jennifer Coolidge to bring down the house — even when it doesn’t involve the actual Jennifer Coolidge.
Apparently, Jen Shah — who never shied away from bragging about her wealth and making “millions” on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City — wasn’t quite so wealthy as she wanted everyone to think. It turns out she had a TON of knockoff luxury items in her home!
OMG, we so need Jennifer Coolidge to write a tell-all!
