Ghislaine Maxwell, Jen Shah, and Elizabeth Holmes could end up being besties.
We previously wrote about how Jen Shah and Elizabeth Holmes are at the same federal prison.
It turns out that there was room for one more.
Maxwell’s cushy transfer after speaking to Trump’s attorney this summer has her sharing prison walls with white collar criminals. Including those two.
Yes, Ghislaine Maxwell is now at the same prison as Jen Shah & Elizabeth Holmes
In July of this year, the Bureau of Prisons transferred convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell from a much more restrictive facility to FPC Bryan in Texas.
If that name sounded familiar to you when you heard the news, it should.
We here at THG have already written about Camp Bryan.
Disgraced Theranos founder and confessed scammer Jen Shah are both serving their respective prison sentences at the same federal facility.
Both women’s white collar crimes had real, dire consequences for their victims. Neither of them were luring underage girls into a pedophile’s bed like Maxwell was, however.
In 2022, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Jen Shah pleaded guilty to wire fraud.
This was over a scam in which she targeted the elderly with a scheme that purported to include business-building tools.
Shah expects to leave prison as early as August 2026.
Meanwhile, Holmes’ conviction for fraud and conspiracy came from a much more forward-facing scam. It seems that her legal consequences stemmed from misleading investors rather than the people who believed that they were part of genuine medical trials.
Both of these crimes are heinous. But, as we said, not of the same magnitude as sexual predation upon underage girls.
What is FPC Bryan like?
We know that Elizabeth Holmes’ prison experience is “hell,” according to her.
At the same time, we know that Jen Shah is teaching ab workouts to other inmates. She’s also apparently tutoring some of them.
Obviously, this facility is a prison. But it is, by all accounts, nicer and more relaxed by far than Ghislaine Maxwell’s previous prison.
Her cooperation with Todd Blanche, the former personal attorney of Donald Trump and the current Deputy Attorney General of the actual United States, has clearly paid dividends.
While Maxwell’s only hope is a Trump pardon if she wants to fully leave prison, her current situation is the next best thing.
As for Camp Bryan, Business Insider spoke with consultant Justin Paperny about conditions in the prison.
FPC Bryan might physically resemble a community college or a small office park, he shared. It is a minimum security facility full of white collar criminals — and Maxwell.
In Paperny’s mind, the key difference at her new facility may be that “cooperation isn’t frowned upon” by her fellow inmates.
Not everyone there is rich, let alone famous. But there is little stigma against cooperation with authorities, in contrast to “harder” prison facilities.
It is, of course, possible that Maxwell’s heinous crimes against children will set her apart from other inmates. But Bryan is not really the sort of place where one usually has to look out for a shiv. Instead, best to beware of Jen Shah’s Housewives play.
Will these three disgraced criminals become besties behind bars?
As soon as people connected the dots that Ghislaine Maxwell is now a the same facility as Jen Shah and Elizabeth Holmes, some began to wonder if they’ll become friends.
It is possible. Many people form social connections that they had never imagined while free. (Prison often makes people worse; these new associates are one of the ways that this happens)
However … scamming people, be they the rich or the elderly, is a far cry from targeting teen girls and serving them up to an evil man.
Some people have lines that they will not cross. Others will excuse any friendship, giving history’s worst monsters the undeserved benefit of the doubt.
We will say that it’s unlikely that Maxwell is going to emerge from prison a Real Housewife. But if Jen Shah ever returns to Bravo, we have to imagine that she’ll have some interesting stories to share.

Is Blake Lively back to being buddies with Taylor Swift?
It seems to be very complicated.
Though speculation arose that Taylor’s “CANCELLED!” lyrics might refer to her actress friend, the latest buzz comes from Travis Kelce.
He gave Blake a shout-out as “our friend.” But there’s a twist that further complicates things.
Is Blake Lively back in Taylor Swift’s good graces? Was there ever a real issue?
Less than two months after Taylor Swift’s appearance on Travis Kelce’s podcast, New Heights Film Club listeners are getting a major surprise.
Podcast fans listened to Travis and Jason Kelce gushing over The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
Most of us know Blake Lively from Gossip Girl.
But the 2005 coming-of-age comedy-drama was her actual breakout role.
The Kelce brothers gushed over Blake’s role in the film during the episode — even if they ribbed on her running form.
Specifically, the guys referred to Blake as their “friend” during the podcast episode.
Travis called the film relatable.
Jason very accurately described Blake as tall, strong, bold, and beautiful.
Additionally, Travis’ big bro tossed an “I love you” Blake’s way. We’re sure that Jason’s wife Kylie Kelce isn’t fuming in jealousy.
That certainly sounds like a ringing endorsement of Blake — and a sign that things are better than reports have made them out to be with Taylor.
There is one important detail about this podcast episode
As we mentioned, there is a complex twist that could potentially derail the perceived olive branch towards Blake Lively.
As it turns out, this episode of New Heights Film Club is not new.
It is a re-upload that first aired in 2024.
In March, the brothers re-uploaded the episode — for members only.
Only now, in October, is the episode becoming public. Which definitely throws a wrench into the premature “reconciliation” celebrations on social media.
That said, the comments are filled with people expressing certainty that the timing of this video is not a coincidence.
Taylor Swift does not have to sit for a deposition, which is great given that Justin Baldoni like to show up for depositions without notice.
Some believe that Taylor approved this.
And some of those believe that the timing of this release (about 7 months after members got access to the video) comes only after the window for Taylor to be at risk of deposition.
What do fans think? Well, that depends who counts as a ‘fan’
Interestingly, some very like-minded commenters are putting Taylor Swift on blast for seeming to support Blake Lively.
A lot of these commenters, we cannot help but notice, have YouTube usernames that include a string of numbers. Which could mean nothing.
Though many people have since reviewed the evidence, a lot of people never revisited things after falling for the smear campaign against Blake Lively in 2024.
So these comments could all be from real people, believe it or not.
Anyway, it would be nice if this really is Taylor signaling her support for Blake. She, of all people, knows what it’s like to have people turn on you because a couple of influential people want to bury you.
It would also be nice if Taylor would just, you know, use her words to say things. Not everything has to be The Da Vinci Code. Use your words.

While other pop stars might be enduring one PR crisis after another, Addison Rae is having one hell of a week.
In addition to celebrating her 25th birthday, Rae is receiving rave reviews for her work in the new Netflix limited series, Monster: Ed Gein.
And Addison decided to top off her latest succession of wins by flashing her Instagram followers.
Addison Rae is having a week
Okay, she managed to abide by Instagram’s “no nipple” policy, but she still surprised fans with an unusually risque post (below).
And based on the nearly 400,000 likes in less than 24 hours, it seems that they very much appreciated her efforts.
But while many of the comments are about what you would expect, quite a few of them took the surprising approach of congratulating Addison on having a better week than Taylor Swift.
Commenters can’t stop comparing Addison to Taylor
“How does it feel to have made a better album than Taylor Swift?” one commenter asked.
“How does it feel to have a better album that Flop Taylor?” another inquired.
“The actual life of a showgirl,” a third chimed in. You get the idea.
Obviously, art is subjective, and there’s no way to state concretely that one piece of music is superior to another.
But reviews for Addison’s album have been decidedly strong, while Taylor’s have been rather … well, mixed would be the polite way to put it.
And while Taylor is being accused of bullying her fellow pop stars and loading her album with problematic lyrics, Addison has enjoyed a refreshingly scandal-free rise to superstardom.
Addison’s career began in the summer of 2019, when she joined TikTok and started posting dance routines from her bedroom in Lafayette, Louisiana.
From there, she managed to make the leap that millions of content creators dream of, and she’s now a bona fide pop star.
We’re sure she’s not one to compete with other artists, but being compared to the biggest entertainer on the planet at 25 must feel pretty good, right?
Anyway, Addison certainly has a lot to celebrate this week. And we’re sure there’s a lot more where that came from.

We have an unfortunate update about Dolly Parton.
About a week after the legendary singer postponed her Las Vegas residency due to some kind of health concern, Parton’s sister has now spoken out.
And it doesn’t sound like things are going too well for the artist.
“Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly,” Freida wrote on Facebook on October 7. “Many of you know she hasn’t been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been led to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me.”
It remains unclear/unknown exactly what is going on with Parton.
Freida ended her post with a heart emoji, adding:
“She’s strong, she’s loved, and with all the prayers being lifted for her, I know in my heart she’s going to be just fine. Godspeed, my sissy Dolly. We all love you!”
Parton is 79 years old.
She announced on September 28 that she had to postpone her residency — which was scheduled to run from December 4 to December 13 at the Colosseum Theater at Caesars Palace — until September 2026 due to “health challenges.”
“My doctors tell me that I must have a few procedures,” the icon explained in her Instagram post. “As I joked with them, it must be time for my 100,000-mile check-up, although it’s not the usual trip to see my plastic surgeon!”
Continued Parton last month:
“In all seriousness, given this, I am not going to be able to rehearse and put together the show that I want you to see, and the show that you deserve to see. You pay good money to see me perform, and I want to be at my best for you.”
Again, we don’t know what’s going on with Parton.
But she sees a bright future for herself.
“Don’t worry about me quittin’ the business because God hasn’t said anything about stopping yet. But, I believe He is telling me to slow down right now so I can be ready for more big adventures with all of you,” she also wrote in September.
The Grammy winner’s medical ordeal follows a difficult year for the beloved country star… who in March announced that Carl Dean, her husband of 58 years, had passed away at the age of 82.
May he rest in peace.

Meghan Markle is currently in Paris for the city’s fall fashion week, and it seems there’s nowhere she can go to escape the obsessive criticism of terminally online weirdos.
On Monday, Meghan was criticized for posting content too close to Princess Diana’s crash site. Seriously.
And today, she’s taking flak for giggling at an inopportune time.
Duchess Meghan gets roasted for behavior at fashion show
Meghan attended the Balenciaga runway show over the weekend, and her haters really had a field day.
For starters, the brand’s image never really recovered from the super-problematic ad campaign it launched in 2022.
So Meghan’s critics were mad that she attended the show at all — and they got really mad when she seemed to chuckle after one of the models stumbled.
“Leave it to Meghan Markle to be the only one to laugh when a model walking the Balenciaga show has a trip up,” wrote one person who tweeted video of the incident:
“Reminds me of that time Meghan Markle laughed at an Autistic woman singing the Canadian National Anthem at the Canucks game.”
And as Radar Online reports, many X users chimed in with criticism of their own”
“Very sympathetic. A real mark of a good person, eh?” one asked.
“And then she very quickly realized how inappropriate and cruel that was. Too little, too late,” another added.
“Why does she find such joy in others tripping or falling…” a third chimed in.
Others alleged that this is the sort of thing that Meghan does on a regular basis.
“Inappropriate laughter (usually at someone else’s misfortune) is the only spontaneous thing Meghan does. All the rest is calculated and performative,” wrote one such accuser.
“She’s a terrible person. Always laughing at other people’s misfortunes. She laughed at Princess Charlotte. A child,” another alleged.
We report on Meghan pretty regularly here at THG, and we weren’t aware that she’s in the habit of publicly cackling at other people’s misfortunes.
And it’s worth noting that the video from the Balenciaga show is not nearly as damning as the original poster thinks it is.
Meghan’s light chuckle could have been in response to literally anything.
And, of course, if Kate Middleton had done something similar, many of these same critics would probably be praising her for showing her human side.
Meghan shouldn’t have to deal with this sort of treatment — but the sad fact is she’s probably used to it by now.
