“Sex Diaries” has hit the big time! The popular, controversial Daily Intel feature, which asks sexually active folks across the country to chronicle a week of sex-having (or a week frustratedly fantasizing about it), will be adapted for television, Vulture hears. The “Sex Diaries” show will be set in New York City and follow ten separate but interconnected characters, and fittingly, multiple partners are involved in shepherding the project to the small screen: Writer Tom Spezialy (Desperate Housewives, Reaper) will script the pilot for ABC Studios and producers Mark Gordon and Nicholas Pepper.

She did it! Kind of! Queen Elizabeth II can rest peacefully knowing she’s left her constituents in a world where She by Shereé is available for purchase to the general public. It’s rumored the last thing she saw before closing her eyes one final time was a wrinkled “Who Gone Check Me Boo?” T-shirt she was trying to order for Meghan Markle.

The rapper and weed enthusiast launched Leafs at a private party Monday night in Denver, where LivWell dispensaries will be the exclusive, initial home for the product over the course of the next 30 days, according to reports.

(This is particularly true if you’ve been missing Friends on Netflix, since the launch of Max means the Central Perk gang are back on streaming.

New York is killing this guy. Earlier this year, Vulture compiled the Ultimate New York Playlist, a 30-song mixtape of the greatest New York—promoting anthems of all time. Now, we wonder if it’s already time for a rebuttal. Since Jay-Z’s “Empire State of Mind” took over the world last fall, a small but fervent movement has arisen within the music community to ask the question — is New York the greatest city in the world?
