Katie Hamilton: Real Housewives Of Orange County Star Blindsided By Divorce

Apparently, Katie Hamilton has been cast on The Real Housewives of Orange County because she has a lot of drama.

Her debut hasn't even aired yet, but she is already in the news.

Katie Hamilton

The RHOC star and wife of LA Angels player and Major League Baseball MVP, Josh Hamilton, has opened up about the divorce that “blindsided” her.

In a Radar Online exclusive, Katie stated that “nothing sparked” the divorce.  According to her, there was no infidelity and no “big fight.”

In fact, when Josh initiated the breakup, she was surprised.  And according to her statement, she isn't ready to let go.

“I’ve always stood by him and I’ll always stand by him,” she said. “I support and love him now and down the road.”

Earlier this year, before spring training, Josh underwent shoulder surgery. Shortly after, he came clean about abusing cocaine and alcohol.

Despite his MLB status as a Most Valuable Player, he was suspended for three seasons between 2003 and 2005 and was ordered to submit to routine drug testing.

The couple has been married for 10 years.  Regardless of their lengthy relationship, Josh’s priorities seems to be in a strange place.

According to the Dallas Morning News, he petitioned that Katie could have no access to his Maserati and 1972 Chevrolet Blazer.

We are guessing Katie wants the Maserati because she denied the petition.  Now, the couple has agreed not to communicate during the remaining divorce proceedings.

Currently, Josh can only visit his kids with supervision.

Their $16.5 million home in Newport Coast is on the market.


Courtney Love Talks Kurt Cobain Sex Tape; Nirvana Frontman's Unreleased Beatles Cover Leaks Online

We're only two weeks away from the television premiere of the much-hyped Kurt Cobain documentary, Montage of Heck, which means that Courtney Love is in full-blown promo-mode and she's talkin' Kurt to anyone who will listen.

First she talked about sex with Cobain in an interview that was about as uncomfortable as your mom giving you the birds-and-the-bees talk while high as a kite on Afghani black tar heroin.

After that, Courtney outdid herself by saying that she drove Cobain to commit suicide by being open about her desire to cheat on him. 

But their relationship wasn't all mind-games and death. No, Love and Cobain made time for old-fashioned sex, drugs and rock & roll, too, and it seems they sometimes recorded themselves engaging in at least two of those activities:

We'll start with the good news: A never-before-heard recording of Cobain singing The Beatles' "And I Love Her" appeared online today, and while it's unlikely to blow your mind, it's cool in a haunting sort of way:

Now on to the grimy stuff. Take it away, C-Love:

"Somehow, [filmmaker Brett Morgen] found the sex tape," Courtney said in an interview with Rolling Stone. "Me and Kurt had this one tape and we could never figure out how to work the battery.

"Everyone makes one sex tape in their life, and we did it. I thought, Brett will never find that stuff. But he did.

Look, we all hope we'll be fondly remembered and talked about 21 years after our passing. However, pretty much none of us hope the world will be told about that time we boned in front of an old-timey camcorder and couldn't even figure out how to watch the tape.

Bruce Jenner Calls Cops on Paparazzi: No Boobs For You!

As the day of the much-hyped Bruce Jenner-Diane Sawyer interview draws near, Jenner has been keeping an extremely low profile.

After all, the man wasn't married to Kris Jenner for 24 years without learning a thing or two about TV ratings and this is his biggest media moment since he took home Olympic gold back in '76.

Of course, winning a medal made Bruce famous, but the public is interested in what's on his chest for a very different reason these days.

Bruce Jenner Looking Like a Female

Sources say Bruce recently got breast implants, and while he's reportedly proud that he's taken such a big step toward becoming a woman, he wants to keep things under wraps until he makes his big reveal on Friday.

Earlier today, some ambitious paparazzi apparently tried to get the scoop on Bruce's boobs, and just moments ago, Jenner called the cops, who tried to hunt the photo hounds down.

Apparently, the paps were using telephoto lenses to try and snap pics of Bruce through the windows of his home.

Since that's one of the few things the paparazzi are not allowed to do, Bruce called the 5-0 to put a stop to the unlawful invasion of privacy. 

There's no word on if the guys got caught, but apparently Bruce had a confrontation with the same paps just last week.

Between this and Kris Jenner threatening to sue Bruce, his coming out party is turning into a full-blown legal fiasco. All this over a perky set of C-cups!

Kylie Jenner Responds to Kylie Jenner Lip Challenge

Kylie Jenner has a few words for anyone who has taken up the Kylie Jenner Lip Challenge:

Please do NOT take up the Kylie Jenner Lip Challenge!

Earlier this week, a handful of really bored people on Twitter started sticking their mouths inside a small cup in order to swell up their lips and resemble the 17-year old reality star.

Of course, one's lips swell up when suctioning in such a manner because said lips are actually injured, leading to parental outcry over the Kylie Jenner Lip Challenge and the following message from Kylie herself on Twitter:

Kylie's Lips

"I'm not here to try & encourage people/young girls to look like me or to think this is the way they should look.

"I want to encourage people/young girls like me to be YOURSELF & not be afraid to experiment w your look."

Despite her hefty pout - and the fact that she keeps showing it off online - Jenner has denied having lip injections.

She insists the reason why her lips look full is because she overdraws them with a lip pencil.

"You guys have watched me grow up since I was 9. My face is going to get different," she told Cosmopolitan in its February 2015 issue. "Now, I know how to do my makeup, contour and everything."

In the end, Kylie wants everyone to look at her. Not to look like her.

The Real Housewives of New York City Season 7 Episode 3 Recap: Battle of the Brunch

$

Tuesday on The Real Housewives of New York City Season 7 Episode 3, Ramona and Bethenny hold dueling brunches, putting their co-stars in a tough spot.

RHONYC Chat

It is a rare occasion that absolutely nothing happens on an episode of The Real Housewives of New York City.

Last week, the ladies kept the drama consistent when Bethenny Frankel and Ramona Singer got into a fight.  And Sonja got on everyone’s nerves.

But this week’s installment was possibly the most boring in RHONYC history.

Like, really, nothing happened.  The end result of every single scene was absolutely nothing.

The episode started off with potential for some good old-fashioned, housewives drama with the Battle of the Brunches.

It all began last week when Bethenny invited the girls over for brunch.  Ramona, worried her friends would ditch her for Bethenny, claimed she also scheduled a brunch.  She swore she sent out an email, but not a single person got it.

The ladies were divided into two brunch rivals.  Team Bethenny: LuAnn, Heather, Carole, and Kristen.  Team Ramona: Sonja and Dorinda.

Yes, you read that correctly.  They are fighting over gourmet brunch, while people across the globe are starving to death.  At least their priorities are straight.

Episode three opens up with LuAnn reading a text from Ramona: “Looking forward to seeing all of you at 75 Main for brunch.”

The brunch is supposed to start at 11:00, conveniently the same time as Bethenny's.  Team Bethenny decides to do the right thing and plans on going to both brunches.

At Bethenny’s brunch, nothing happens.  There’s a little sh*t talking about Sonja and Ramona, but that’s nothing new.

Criticizing Sonja, Heather says, “She has 10,000 things [going on].  She has nothing.”  And she swears she can help Sonja focus her business endeavors.

Carole takes a Skinnygirl blender.  Kristen calls their looting for Skinnygirl products “ghetto.” They eat bagels. 

The end.

If this were a real life brunch I were at, this would be fine.  But when I sit down to watch RHONYC, I want to see something more dramatic and ridiculous than my own boring life.

But at least the ladies ate at Bethenny’s.  Because nothing, and I mean nothing, happens at Ramona’s brunch.

The other ladies are so late even Ramona says, “I’m getting a feeling the girls aren’t going to come.”

Team Bethenny shows up two hours late, already wined and dined from Bethenny’s gathering.

Dorinda leaves as soon as the Team Bethenny ladies arrive.  Sonja departs shortly after to be with her daughter.  And LuAnn states she has to leave soon too.

As Dorinda accurately explains, “No one showed up.  There wasn’t any food.”

And with that, the Battle of the Brunches ceases fire.

The only part of the episode that promises anything exciting is the return of Kelly Bensimon.

Kelly left the show in season 4 with a great deal of unresolved tension with Bethenny. So when LuAnn runs into Kelly and brings her to the single ladies night out, there is hope for some drama.

Preparing us for the potential conflict ahead, the show even flashes back to Scary Island, when Kelly Bensimon had her infamous meltdown in St. John.

While in St. John, Bethenny and Kelly got into a major cat fight that sent Kelly into a full-blown breakdown and packing for New York.

Bethenny, who technically isn’t single but has been separated from husband Jason Hoppy for two years, arrives to singles night and is peeved that Kelly is there.

She confronts LuAnn because LuAnn “should have sent a text” to let her know Kelly was there.  LuAnn briefly apologizes.  

Nothing happens again.

Finally, when she approaches Kelly, it appears things are going to get good. 

Is she going to finally confront the past drama she’s had with Kelly?  Will she flip out in typical, obnoxious but hilarious Bethenny style???

Nope.  Bethenny kisses her on the cheek.

And that’s that.

This episode did offer the audience more insight into the newest cast member, Dorinda Medley.

In the past two episodes, Dorinda seems down to earth, especially compared to her other cast mates.  So far, she has been removed from any tension between the ladies.

However, her white privilege is just as unbelievable as it is undeniable, and her down-to-earth personality is quickly changing.

While she sits in a restaurant, she spots an African American man dressed in formal attire. Apparently, Dorinda thinks we still live in a world with the help, and she flags him down to order.

The problem is, he doesn’t work there.  Just like her, he is a patron of the restaurant.

“It was the shirt,” she exclaims.  A black man in a white, button-up shirt confuses her.  Le sigh.

Leave it to the Upper East Side housewife to think the only reason an African American man would be in the restaurant is to serve her.

Not surprisingly, she doesn’t seem embarrassed.  In fact, she admits she has done the same thing to a man in a wheel chair at the bus station.

At the end of the episode, the ladies spot Dorinda’s boyfriend of two and a half years, John, at the bar without Dorinda.  Sketch.

He claims he is just there after wrapping up a business dinner.

We’ll see about that. 

In other RHONYC news:

  • Ramona’s got her groove back.
  • Sonja is flirting with a 24-year-old.
  • Bethenny is remodeling her new apartment.
  • Dorinda likes shrimp salad.

You know, boring stuff form a boring episode.

What did you think of this week's episode? As always, you can watch The Real Housewives of New York City online and see the drama in its entirety.

Khloe Kardashian is (NOT) Having Lamar Odom's Baby!!!

Congratulations are in order for Khloe Kardashian.

The reality star is pregnant! With Lamar Odom's baby!

We can only imagine how psyched Khloe must be over this news, considering she recently admitted she still wants to be married to Lamar.

Khloe Kardashian Baby Claim

According to the latest issue of Life & Style, Khloe and Lamar are telling friends all about the “exciting news,” as a “medical breakthrough” is to thank for this miraculous development.

Poor French Montana, however, is supposedly "furious" over the pregnancy and "won't let [Khloe] go."

Perhaps it will help the rapper feel better to know there's no way this story is possibly true.

Yes, Khloe still clamors for Odom and there's even been talk that she's dating Lamar and Montana simultaneously.

But Life & Style, along with many other supermarket tabloids, have a history of misleading readers when it comes to cover claims regarding the Jenners and/or the Kardashians.

Allow us to present a number of examples to back up this point:

NOTE: whenever Khloe does get knocked up, Scott Disick has at least helped her realize how pregnant women have sex with their baby daddies.

Dr. Oz Previews 1,000th Show, Fires Back at Critics: We Will Not Be Silenced!

A defiant Dr. Mehmet Oz addressed a group of Columbia University doctors who are calling for him to resign while taping his namesake show on Tuesday.

A preview for The Dr. Oz Show slated to air on Thursday was released by show producers on Tuesday night, and the TV doctor makes zero apologies.

"This month, we celebrate my one thousandth show," Oz, 54, says in the preview.

"I know I've irritated some potential allies in our quest to make America healthy.

"No matter our disagreements, freedom of speech is the most fundamental right we have as Americans. And these 10 doctors are trying to silence that right."

"So I vow to you right here and right now: we will not be silenced, we will not give in."

His critics wrote a letter to Columbia challenging whether Oz, a cardiothoracic surgeon who holds a vice chair spot at the school, should be a faculty member.

Their list of complaints about him is not short. The group's letter reads:

"We are surprised and dismayed that Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons would permit Dr. Mehmet Oz to occupy a faculty appointment."

"Let alone a senior administrative position in the Department of Surgery."

"As described here and here, as well as in other publications, Dr. Oz has repeatedly shown disdain for science and for evidence-based medicine."

Furthermore, the group of critics alleges, Dr. Oz exhibits "baseless and relentless opposition to the genetic engineering of food crops."

"Worst of all, he has manifested an egregious lack of integrity by promoting quack treatments and cures in the interest of personal financial gain."

Ouch. A spokesperson for the Dr. Oz Show told CNN that two thirds of the episode this Thursday will be devoted to rebutting these doctors' claims.

Stay tuned.

People's Most Beautiful Women, 2000-2015: How Many Can You Guess?

$

Earlier today, Sandra Bullock was named the Most Beautiful Woman in the world.

The 50-year old Oscar winner said herself that the honor is patently "ridiculous," but we can think of a handful of famous females who would disagree with that assessment.

And we've listed them all here:

Indeed, Bullock fits pretty snugly into the type of women People typically bestows with this honor:

She's classically beautiful. She's respected around Hollywood. And she has an Academy Award sitting on her mantel at home.

In fact, since the year 2000, People has never NOT named an actress as the Most Beautiful Woman in the World; with the exception of Beyonce, who does possess more big screen experience than the average artist.

So if you want to be in consideration in 2016, Kate Upton, you may need to make the move from video games to film. (No, not adult films. Sorry, fellas.)

Off the top of your head, can you guess each of the beauties who have nabbed this distinction over the past 15 years? Can you come up with the only three-time winner?

Here's a hint: she's the only one not to have actually covered the Most Beautiful issue one year. How come?

Because Bullock, ironically, was given that cover spot in 2011 upon adopting her son Louis.

Bruce Jenner to Sue Paparazzi Who Snapped Dress Photo

Earlier today, The New York Daily News scandalously published a photo of Bruce Jenner wearing a dress outside of his house in Malibu, Calif.

The day that photo was taken, Jenner had called the police in hopes of chasing off the paparazzi who were using telephoto lenses to snap photos of him through the windows.

Sources say the cops arrived in a timely fashion and the photographers scattered from the premises, but clearly, the damage had already been done.

Bruce Jenner Feminine Photo

Now, the 65-year-old Olympic champion is reportedly firing back against the paps who took the photos and the tabloid for published them.

“Bruce has decided to take legal action because he is fed up with the constant invasion of his privacy,” a source tells Radar Online.

While tabloids and paparazzi have much more leeway in the U.S. than in other countries, it's illegal for photographers to use telephoto lenses to essentially trespass on private property.

As a result, Bruce may have a legitimate complaint here, and it may have been unlawful for the Daily News to purchase pictures that were clearly taken in such a way.

The insider says that Jenner “can’t believe the gross invasion of his privacy" and will unleash the full fury of his legal team on any publications or paparazzi who step out of bounds.

Jenner's interview with Diane Sawyer - in which he reportedly plans to discuss the details of his sex change for the first time - will air on Friday.

Sources say he hopes the long-awaited sit-down will help alleviate some of the media scrutiny he's been placed under in recent weeks. Stay tuned.

Robert Downey Jr. Storms Out of Interview Following Questions About Drug Use, Imprisonment

With the release of Avengers: Age of Ultron just over one week away, the film's A-list cast has been making the rounds to promote a sequel that really needs no promotion.

Usually, this means playing Family Feud with Jimmy Kimmel and answering softball questions from the entertainment editor of the Palookaville Post, but earlier today, British journalist Krishnan Guru-Murthy thought he'd take the opportunity to interrogate Robert Downey Jr. about his difficult past, and...well, it went about as well as you would think:

Downey keeps his cool admirably as the Guru-Murthy awkwardly segues from "How cool is Iron Man?" fluff to "What was it like to be an incarcerated drug addict?" hardball stuff.

If watch closely, you can see RDJ struggling to suppress his rage, and he gets in some pretty funny jabs before your storming out. 

("Your foot's starting to jump a little bit, you better get to your next question." "It's getting a little Diane Sawyer in here.")

Of course, this isn't the first time that things between Iron Man and the press have gotten a bit "steely," as Guru-Muthy lamely tweeted.

Last year, Downey complimented a reporter's breasts and referred to feminism as "make believe" in an interview that was every bit as awkward as it sounds.

As much as we love RDJ unchained, we're gonna have to encourage him to tone it down for the next few stops on the promo tour. You don't wanna leave the public with a bunch of interviews that are more entertaining than the film you're plugging.

Pregnant Lesbian Couple Kisses in Viral Photo: See It Here!

Melanie and Vanessa Iris Roy have gone viral.

The Charlotte residents posted side-by-side snapshots of their respective baby bumps on Instagram in February, with the Internet finally taking notice a couple months later and turning them into online sensations.

The first picture features a pregnant Melanie leaning in to plant a smooch on Vanessa. It was taken in the spring of 2014.

The second image depicts an expecting Vanessa resting her hand on her baby bump and returning the kissing favor to Melanie. It was snapped in 2015.

The couple's son, Jax, plays on the sand below his parents in the latter photograph.

Lesbian Pregnancy Kiss

"Trading places," Melanie wrote as a caption.

Slowly but surely over the past few weeks, LGBT advocacy websites picked up the precious split-screen Instagram picture.

It has garnered over 160,000 Likes and nearly 20,000 Shares alone on the Facebook page of a Brazilian advocacy organization known as The Rainbow Group.

"It's crazy to see that people were referring to my family as an inspiration," Melanie told The Huffington Post yesterday about the feedback she's received of late. "We are still in complete shock."

She hopes the photo will inspire other lesbian couples hoping to have kids.

"Vanessa and I have always said we would both like to carry," she added. "The woman's body is incredible. The way it creates and grows another human being is amazing. We hope that our picture is that sign that some women may need to encourage them to carry a child."

The viral image is reminiscent of one taken of BJ Barone and  Frankie Nelson in July 2014, as the gay dads photographed hugged their newborn baby.

Leah Messer has hit quite the rough patch recently, and it now seems that things are gonna get worse before they get better.

For one thing, it looks like the rumors of Jeremy Calvert filing for divorce are absolutely true.

In addition to the eye witnesses who claim they saw Leah get served with divorce papers in a grocery store parking lot, eagle-eyed Twitter users noticed today that Leah has deleted Jeremy's name from her account.

In her short bio section, she deleted all mention of Calvert, and she's now described simply as "mommy of Ali, Aleeah & Adalynn."

To make matters worse, sources close to the troubled Teen Mom say that Leah's pain pill addiction has gotten so bad that she's finally agreed to go to rehab.

“She’s going to rehab the week of April 27,” a family insider tells In Touch. “Her family is begging her to hold it together until then.”

Leah's mother, Dawn Spears, took to Facebook today to claim that "Leah will NOT be going to a DRUG REHAB."

It's worth noting that Spears never claims that Leah won't be checking into an in-patient care facility for reasons that are not related to her alleged addiction.

Several sources have contradicted Dawn's statement and claimed that Leah will be entering rehab to begin the process of detoxing next week.

Family and friends are reportedly keeping a close eye on her in the meantime to ensure that if she has to use, she does so safely.

Khloe Kardashian has given Instagram followers their latest look at Reign Aston Disick. Kind of. Sort of.

You may need to just take her word for it.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star shared a cute photo online yesterday of her four-month old niece, though little Reign's face isn't exactly featured in the image.

That sure is one adorable hat with ears, however!

This is not the first time Internet users have gotten a glimpse at the third offspring of Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick.

Earlier this month, Kourtney Instagrammed a precious photo of her youngest bundle of joy, writing as a caption:

"My little turtle dove angel baby boy Reign Aston Disick."

Kourtney, of course, has two other turtle dove angels at home: She and Scott are parents son Mason, 5, and daughter Penelope, 2.

The latter actually almost had her new sibling's first name.

"I'm never certain [with names] until they're born," Kardashian recently told People.

"I actually had the name [Reign] on our list with Mason! Then with Penelope, I had it on the list but spelled R-A-I-N."

Though we may not know Kate Middleton's exact due date, we do know that sometime in the next week, the Duchess will bring a new prince or princess into the world, and of course...she'll do it in style!

Kate has reserved the Lindo Wing Suite at Paddington in St. Mary's hospital. It's the same room where she gave birth to Prince George, and as you might expect, this is not your typical peasant's delivery room.

Smiling Kate

The suite costs an estimated $9,650 a night and it's equipped with all of the luxuries of a four-star hotel.

A woman named Georgie McGrath - who gave birth to her two children in the Lindo Wing Suite - recently spoke with Us Weekly about the amenities that Kate will enjoy while she awaits the arrival of the newest royal.

"The floors are carpeted, [there are] fitted cupboards, a TV screen, your own bathroom, a little fridge, curtains, nice duvets on the bed," McGrath says. "A menu comes to you every day, and it’s not your normal run of the mill sort of menu, it’s a good menu, yummy food.

“Once you’ve had your baby they will take the baby for the night and go put him in the nursery and you can have a full-on sort of four-course meal, with champagne and candles and everything like that."

Naturally, the hospital has also been equipped with top-notch security in preparation for Kate's arrival.

The idea is to prevent any threats to her safety, but as a bonus, a few armed guards will also help keep the rabid British press at bay.

Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney: Fighting About Having Kids?!

Back in February, Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney got engaged and announced it to the world in a way that didn't involve any vomit artists or clothing made out meat or Muppets.

Everything about the engagement - from the classic-style ring to the one-knee proposal - was far more traditional and, dare we say, boring than we would've expected from Gaga.

Hey, Lady Gaga!
Taylor Kinney Snapshot

We're pretty sure the Mother Monster plans wears the pants (or at least the ass-less chaps) in her relationship, and she clearly decided to apply her new old-school-duets-with-Tony-Bennett-martinis-at-Musso-&-Frank's aesthetic to her husband's proposal, and that's fine.

What's weird is that she's reportedly extending that post World War II traditional flavor to her marriage by pressuring Taylor to knock her up immediately after they make it official.

You'd think that Taylor would be happy to put his career as Handsome Guy From That One Show behind him and get on to the business of being Gaga's professional sperm donor, but insiders say he ain't havin' it.

"Gaga and Taylor just got engaged, but they have been fighting like cats and dogs," a source tells Hollywood Life. "If anything, it seems like the engagement has made things more tense in their relationship.

"She has realized more and more she is ready to have kids and wants them to make time for that. But Taylor doesn’t think he or she are ready for kids yet. They are both still in the prime of their careers and have too much going on.

“Gaga is always working going one hundred miles an hour. He really doesn’t think Gaga is ready for the commitment to be a mom yet.”

We can understand both sides. Gaga turned 29 last month, and while has plenty of child-bearing years left in her, if she wants to crank out a sizable brood (as she's said in the past), she may want to get underway.

That said, in addition to her music, Gaga was just cast on American Horror Story: Hotel, so Taylor does have a point when he says she might be too busy for motherhood at the moment.

But at the end of the day, Gaga didn't buy her own engagement ring so that she could marry some dude who's gonna hem and haw when it comes to doing his husbandly duty. Advantage: Gaga.

Empire is officially taking over the television universe.

And taking a bite out of the music world while at it.

In news first broken by E!, cast members Jussie Smollett and Bryshere "Yazz" Gray (who portray Jamal and Hakeem, respectively) will take to the stage at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards.

In front of millions of viewers, they'll sing a medley of the Fox drama’s biggest hits, including "Conqueror" and "You're So Beautiful."

Empire Cast on Stage

But that’s not all! British singer Estelle, who guest-starred on Empire Season 1 as Delphine, will join the actors for at least one number.

"There's no way I could possibly love music more than I already do. The Billboard Music Awards have been the epitome of celebrating some of the best of the best in music," Smollett said in a statement, adding:

"To be included as a performer on this year's celebration is a huge honor."

Gray chimed in with:

"I'm still living in a dream - the success of Empire and now getting the honor to perform at the Billboard Music Awards. It's truly a blessing."

Empire was a rating juggernaut for Fox this spring, actually increasing in viewership each week for NINE straight weeks to open its run.

You really need go to watch Empire online to see what all the fuss is about.

Hosted by Ludacris and Chrissy Teigen, the Billboard Music Awards will air live from Las Vegas on May 17 and also feature performances by the following artists:

Sam Smith, Nick Jonas, John Legend, Ed Sheeran, Meghan Trainor, Kelly Clarkson, Hozier and Fall Out Boy featuring Wiz Khalifa.

Kim Richards Storms Out of Dr. Phil Interview: Is This an Intervention?!

Last week, Kim Richards was arrested when she got drunk and kicked a cop at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Naturally, Kim was invited to be on Dr. Phil so that the mustachioed quack could pull one of his surprise interventions. (We feel like he stole the idea from an A&E reality show, but we can't think of the name right now.)

The episode hasn't aired yet, but sources reported yesterday that Kim refused to go to rehab.

No one was really surprised by that, but as more stories from the set are emerging, it seems that Kim engaged in plenty of behavior that shocked not only Phil, but also her kids, Chad and Brooke, who joined her for the interview.

Kim Richards Red Carpet Image

One witness claims that Kim "screamed obscenities" at Phil before ripping off her mic and storming out of the interview.

"Is this an intervention? You can forget this whole thing," Kim reportedly ranted as she stormed out the building.

"I'm not going down there, I'm not going for three months, and I'm not going to miss your wedding," she said, referring to the fact that Brooke is soon to be married.

Apparently, Kim's kids were eventually able to calm her down, but she still refused to seek treatment.

The best Phil and company could get out of her was an agreement to "consider" rehab after she consults with her doctor and "life coach."

Kim has reportedly given Phil's producers a list of demands that must be met before she'll consider accepting the treatment that they're willing to offer her for free!

We're beginning to think the real problem isn't that Kim is an alcoholic, but that she's addicted to being ridiculous.

Or are they still seeking that headline-making rush, trying to branch of into music, movies or some other kind of reality show?

Some of the answers may surprise you.

"My daughter thinks the whole thing is just so funny," Martin Springall, who snapped the image, tells ABC News. "She thinks it's a ghost, but not a scary ghost - a nice one."

The photo was taken last July in Zushi, Japan.

Springall shared the shot with a friend, who uploaded it to the “Ghosts" subreddit.

"Some thought it could be the ghost of a World War II sailor," he says, not offering up any of his own theories, but making it clear no actual person was there:

"My daughter is really shy, and she wouldn't have taken a picture if there was someone standing behind her, which I would have definitely noticed."

Lilienstein was best known for her role on the long-running television series Sharon, Lois and Bram's The Elephant Show.

Her son, David Lilienstein, informed a Canadian news outlet that she passed away quietly in her home on Wednesday night.

"She was just a normal everyday person that had a phenomenal sense of music inside her," said David. 

When asked how fans should commemorate her life and career, he referenced her most famous song, saying, "Turn to your family and friends and sing "Skinnamrinky Dinky Dink."

Along with Sharon Hampson and Bramwell "Bram" Morrison, Lilienstein formed the entertainment trio Sharon, Lois and Bram in Toronto in 1978.

Their first album of folk-inspired children's songs became an instant success, and they began touring the US and Canada that same year.

In 1984, the group launched the the CBC variety show that would take them to a new level of fame. The series was eventually syndicated and picked up by American outlets such as Nickelodeon.

Lilienstein continued to perform and tour with the trio until she decided to retire in 2000, following the death of her husband.

But while she hasn't performed in over 15 years, news of Lilienstein's death quickly became a trending topic on Twitter, evidence of the millions who grew up, and still fondly remember, her unforgettable music.
