Khloe Kardashian on Fried Chicken Eating: It's Not Racist!

It looks like Kylie Jenner picked the wrong food with which to defend herself.

Earlier this month, the teenager was accused of telling Snapchat viewers that she was high as f-ck in a viral video.

The reality star later removed the footage and denied ever uttering those words, claiming instead that she was gushing over friend chicken.

Then, last night, Kylie posed for a photo alongside Khloe Kardashian and Kris Jenner in which she mocked the scandal, joking about the group's "Popeyes and Pajamas party."

Popeyes and PJ Party

No big deal, right? Even sort of funny and creative, no?

NO, according to a handful of Internet users.

Khloe was shocked to be met with accusations of racism on her Instagram account today, as some folks are claiming she’s “trying to be black.”

They're clearly referring to the type of food she is scarfing down, though it's possible Khloe's dating history even plays some role in this strange allegation.

"How is any one ‘trying to be black’ because they are eating food?" Khloe asked.

“I wasn’t aware that food was limited to a certain skin color… I thought food was not specific to skin color but to humans in general."

Khloe then quoted the bible and concluded:

"To break bread together,’ a phrase as old as the Bible, captures the power of a meal to forge relationships, bury anger, provoke laughter."

What do you think of this unexpected scandal? Is Khloe really trying to be black?

Portia de Rossi Opens Up About Struggle with Bulimia

There’s a lot for Portia de Rossi to be happy about.  Just this past December, Portia celebrated 10 years with Ellen DeGeneres.  

But life hasn’t always been so grand for the Scandal star.

In the second season of the web series It Gets Better, de Rossi opens up about her battle with bulimia.

It Gets Better is a series developed for teenagers struggling with their sexual identity.  It often features stars candidly discussing their past demons.

Portia discussed her eating disorder and how it was tied the complicated emotions she felt about her sexuality.

“I felt tremendous responsibility when I was 12 years old, and I was put up on a catwalk,” de Rossi reveals.

She continues,  “My modeling agents had told me to go on a diet. So I didn’t eat for 10 days before the.”

It wasn’t just the agents prodding at her self-esteem either.  Portia adds that even fellow models taunted her about her bushy eyebrows.

The actress goes into detail about the difficult battle between her body and her damaging internal dialogue:

“When I got in the car after that event and just opened up a bag of my favorite candy and just put my whole head in it and I think, ‘S**t, what have I done? I’ve just undid two weeks worth of dieting.’ So then I vomit.”

Because of her eating disorder, de Rossi’s weight dropped to a dangerous 82 pounds.

She states, “I didn’t want to think about being gay,” and the struggle with her sexual identity was a contributing factor toward her eating disorder.

But as the title of the web series suggests, it does get better.

Portia is in a better place, and she hopes her story can help young people who are confronting similar issues.

“No matter what it is, you just have to go with whatever makes you smile.”

It really does get better.

Kim Richards Ordered To Pay For Pitbull Attack... How Much???

We hate to say it so bluntly.  But Kim Richards’ life is a wreck right now.  Things just aren't going well for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star.

Messy Kim Richards

Kim is scheduled to complete 90 more days of rehab in addition to the month she has already spent in treatment for an alcohol addiction.  Plus, her daughter is about to get married, and Kyle Richards isn’t going to the wedding.

Now, one of Kim’s BFFs just won a lawsuit against Kim over a pitbull attack.

In March 2014, Kay Rozario filed a lawsuit, claiming Kim wouldn’t reimburse her medical bills after Kim’s pitbull, Kingsley, bit her hand. The bite was so bad, it went all the way to the bone.

Yesterday, a judge sided with Rozario but drastically revised the amount of damages.

Yes, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star will have to pay.  But not nearly as much as Rozario wanted.

Rozario was seeking more than a million dollars.  But according to court documents, she was awarded a mere $8,083.

The judge cited that the medical bills were only $4,083.  So she doesn’t need a million bucks.

However, the judge did agree that she should be awarded more cash for emotional distress and trauma resulting from the attack.

Kim’s dog seems to have as many problems as its owner.  Kingsley also attacked Kim’s niece, Kyle Richards' daughter, last November.

As of late, the dog is at a private training facility.

Many people have encouraged Kim to give the dog away, but Kim looooves her pup.  So much that Kim tried to leave rehab to visit Kingsley.

High school graduation is a time for many words of wisdom to be passed out, for many life lessons to hopefully be learned.

Be head strong. Be independent. Take risks. Remain true to yourself. Remember where you came from.

Oh, and do not wear high heels to the graduation ceremony.

What? It's too late for the girl in this video to learn that lesson? Uh-oh. This is gonna be ugly.. and, we hate to say it, but it's also gonna be hilarious.

Isobel Varley, the Guinness World Record holder as the female senior citizen with the most tattoos passed away at the age of 77.

After a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease, Varley died on Monday.

Varley got her first two tattoos in 1986—a bird on her shoulder and a flower on her thigh.  The rest was history.

“I just got the bug.  I couldn’t stop,” she said about her tattoo fetish.

Varley claimed she spent $12,000-$15,000 on her tattoos.  At the time when she won the award for the most tattooed female senior citizen, her most recent tat was of a heart on her sternum.  The inside of the heart said, “Millennium.”

Approximately 70% of her body was covered in tattoos.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, Boston Marathon Bomber, Sentenced to Death

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been sentenced to death.

Earlier today, a jury in Boston voted unanimously to execute the man responsible for the marathon bombing in 2013 that killed a trio of bystanders.

Says Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch via statement:

"Dzhokhar Tsarnaev coldly and callously perpetrated a terrorist attack that injured hundreds of Americans and ultimately took the lives of three individuals:

"Krystle Marie Campbell, a 29-year-old native of Medford; Lingzi Lu, a 23-year-old Boston University graduate student from China; and Martin Richard, an 8-year-old boy from Dorchester who was watching the marathon with his family just a few feet from the second bomb.  

"In the aftermath of the attack, Tsarnaev and his brother murdered Sean Collier, a 27-year-old patrol officer on the MIT campus, extinguishing a life dedicated to family and service."

Tsarnaev, who was found guilty of this heinous crime in April, will remain in custody and  be formally sentenced by the judge at a later date.

"We know all too well that no verdict can heal the souls of those who lost loved ones, nor the minds and bodies of those who suffered life-changing injuries from this cowardly attack," added Lynch. 

"But the ultimate penalty is a fitting punishment for this horrific crime and we hope that the completion of this prosecution will bring some measure of closure to the victims and their families.

"We thank the jurors for their service, the people of Boston for their vigilance, resilience and support and the law enforcement community in Boston and throughout the country for their important work."

High School Teacher Shows 50 Shades of Grey In Class!

During the school year, I am a teacher.  And as most teachers know, students are constantly asking for positive reinforcement.  The millennial generation thrives off of rewards.

In my class, a reward might mean getting out of class five minutes early.  But a recent “good behavior award,” took a different shape at a West Virginia high school.

50 Shades of Grey Trilogy Covers

Students, who were determined to be praised for their hard work, convinced their teacher to show 50 Shades of Grey.

The Hampshire High School teacher, who must live in a cave, claimed to not know what the film was about.

Principal Jeff Woofter reported that the film was turned off after about 10 minutes when the assistant principal walked by and saw what the class was watching.

Not only did this teacher eff up by showing big-budget, mainstream porn; movies of any kind are prohibited in the classroom.

At this time, it is unclear if students or teacher will face any punishment.

The first installment of 50 Shades opened this year on Valentine’s Day.  The dates for the next two sequels have been released for 2016 and 2017.


Chris Brown and Tyga Have Play Date With King, Royalty!

Chris Brown and Tyga, music industry stars and bros forever, recently collaborated ... on a play date with his daughter Royalty and his son King.

Now that sounds like a regal day of fun if ever there were one!

King and Royalty
Joyce Hawkins and Royalty

In March, news broke that Chris Brown is a father to a nearly one-year-old girl named Royalty, whose mom is former model Nia Guzman-Amey.

While Nia's pregnancy and birth were secret - Chris' (now ex-) girlfriend Karrueche Tran found out after we did - he's been gushing ever since.

Royalty has been a visible part of Brown's life, as fans know, and he even wants Guzman to move out to L.A. from Houston to keep it that way.

He sure seems like he's taking to fatherhood so far.

Brown has posted Royalty pics left and right, and Friday, the R&B star had his first celebrity play date with rapper Tyga and his son King Cairo!

While the latter is involved in a custody dispute with his baby mama, Tyga says Blac Chyna is just jealous of his underage girlfriend, Kylie Jenner.

Tyga claims he's a great father, and while one play date with Royalty and some Instagram pics don't prove that case, they certainly don't hurt it.

His photo also shows what looks to be a large Charlie Brown character in the background, a nod to Chris' nickname and love of the cartoon.

In a brief video clip he posted, Tyga can also be heard telling King to "be nice" and “you gotta share" when things got a little heated.

When you're two years old, these things are tough.

Breezy, meanwhile, also posted a snap of his baby girl cuddling with his mom, Joyce Hawkins, writing, "Grandma has taken over the house!"

Say what you will about Chris and Tyga and their personal lives, but by all accounts they are treating their kids like ... well, a King and Royalty.

Valeria Lukyanova Admits to Photoshopping Pics, Says Haters are Just Jealous

Haters are gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate.

But sometimes haters are gonna make a valid point, point, point, point, point.

Earlier this week, Valeria Lukyanova (aka Human Barbie) posted a new set of frightening photos to Facebook.

They featured the plastic-surgery-loving model in jean shorts and a tiny top, and they generated quite a bit of backlash from those who criticized Lukyanova for looking “unnatural” and having “body dysmorphic disorder."

Lukyanova has said she doesn't care, that critics are choosing a "path of degradation."

But now she's also admitted that the haters weren't entirely incorrect: the pictures were not 100% natural. 

Human Barbie Alert!

Far from it, in fact.

"The pictures are Photoshopped to achieve smoothness and color correction,” the Russian tells Cosmopolitan.

“The pictures were taken in the botanical garden on the phone. They were not high quality. I had to edit them in order to correct the defects of the phone picture.”

Still, Human Barbie stands by her appearance as a whole.

“There may have been some negative comments,” she told Cosmo. “I did not see them. Beautiful people are often envied. That's why negativity does not surprise me. Instead, it touches me.”

Overall, Lukyanova actually feels sorry for those who do not aspire to achieve the perfect body, as she believes she has and does.

“Those who are unsatisfied with what I do and critique me and offend me clearly don't have the same figure as I do. Otherwise they would not be so negative

"People who are satisfied with themselves don't comment on who they don't like. They will pass by. And those who write nasty [things], they are openly jealous. To have an ideal body is important to every self-respecting girl."

Paris Hilton is really trying to make this singing career thing work.

The former sex tape star, who faked an orgasm on stage during a performance this spring, has released the music video for “High Off My Love,” an upbeat track that features Birdman and which somehow nabbed the top spot on Billboard's Real Time chart soon after it came out.

The 34-year old is featured in the footage, rocking tight-fitting clothing and knee-high boots while belting out such winning lyrics as:

So you think I'm bad, babe/And you keep acting like you want me/ I don't need a little boy/You better turn it up just a little more.

The song won't win Hilton any Grammys, but it is better any attempt Kim Kardashian has ever made to sing.

Check out the video above and then compare it to that for Hilton's previous track, "Come Alive."

12 Most Shocking Game of Thrones Deaths: Where Do the Season 5 Demises Rank?

Every season of Game of Thrones is packed with jaw-dropping violence, and season 5 has been no exception. 

Over the years we've seen beheadings, poisonings, death by infected boo-boo (RIP, Khal Drogo), a man getting shot by an arrow while being burned (pour one out for Mance Rayder), even the old "molten gold dumped over the head" trick.

With all of these memorable demises, it was hard to pick just a few vicious send-offs for our list, but here are the torture sessions and Valyrian steel run-ins that really kept us up nights. Enjoy!

 

1. Viserys Gets Crowned

Viserys gets crowned
Viserys was up there with King Joffrey in terms of douchebags we loved to hate. Even so, his death by molten gold is tough to watch.

2. The Death of King Joffrey

The death of king joffrey
Joffrey's death wasn't particularly gory but it WAS unexpected. And it certainly wasn't unwelcome.

3. The Red Wedding

Possibly the most shocking moment the series has offered up thus far. That GRRM certainly knows how to shock and appall.

4. Oberyn Martell vs. The Mountain

Oberyn martell vs the mountain
Surely, one of the most gruesome deaths in the history of television. We even feel bad for the witnesses.

5. Tyrion Gets His Revenge

Tywin and Shae learned a valuable lesson: Don't mess with the Imp. Unfortunately, it's too late for them to do anything with that knowledge.

6. Mande Rayder Swekered at His Own Barbecue!

Mance Rayder was spared a brutal death on Game of Thrones. He still died, of course...it just wasn't quite as brutal.

Do you think Teresa Giudice is giving the hand to the other inmates in prison and rolling her eyes at them? Nah, The Real Housewives of New Jersey star is probably offering up excerice tips as the inmates newest exercise teacher.

Girl, bye is probably what NeNe Leakes is saying in this candid funny photo. Or maybe bloop? Or what about, "I'm Rich?" The Real Housewives of Atlanta star is always good for a laugh.

Khloe Kardashian: Topless Photobomb Alert in Background of Random Kylie Jenner Selfie!

Kylie Jenner posted another sexy selfie this week (big surprise), but it was her big sister Khloe who really turned up the heat in the background.

Khloe Kardashian Topless Photobomb

The setting was the NBC Universal Upfronts earlier week, where the famous reality TV family certainly succeeded in giving advertisers a preview.

Representing the E! royalty were Khloe Kardashian, Kris Jenner and Kylie Jenner, and amazingly, someone actually showed more skin than the latter.

At a party following the Upfronts, Kylie gave fans more than they bargained for in an Instagram pic posted by makeup artist Joyce Bonelli.

Joyce, a Kardashian family friend, said it all in the absolute perfect caption for this pic: "@kyliejenner it's really not about us though @khloekardashian."

No ... it's definitely not about Kylie Jenner's lips or body for once.

It's unlikely Khloe was actually topless in this picture (we think), although from the looks of it, we sure can't tell if she's wearing any sort of clothing.

Fans have seen ample amounts of Khloe Kardashian's butt and boobs in recent weeks, so it could just be a ridiculously low cut outfit she has on.

Perhaps instead of being nude, it's just a nude-colored, skin-tight dress that makes the vintage Kardashian badonkadonk and curvature pop.

You be the judge, Internet. Let the sleuthing officially commence.

All we know is that regardless of whether she's rocking no top or just showing epic amounts of cleave, young Kylie may need some stricter role models.

We know Kylie thinks of Khloe as her mom, which is sweet, but makes it a little weird when you're posting topless-looking photos of your fake mom.

No wonder Kylie is already posing like this all the time at 17 ...

Kourtney Kardashian has once again let it Reign down on her Instagram account.

The woman who is able to somehow put up with Scott Disick on a consistent basis shared a new picture of her third child on social media today - and this may the cutest one yet.

"MY RAD little bunny," Kourtney captioned this precious snapshot of her daughter.

Reign Disick Picture

To her credit, despite often publicizing aspects of her life on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Kourtney rarely lets the world in on the lives of her children.

She and Disick do seem admirably protective of their offspring, we'll give them that.

Kourtney, however, isn't nearly as protective with her boobs, considering Disick appears to be fondling at least one of them in a different recent Instagram photo.

He's allowed to, we know. These two are practically married and everything.

We'd just rather see cute pictures of their kids, as opposed to racy pictures of the actions that led to those kids being born.

Kylie Jenner and Tyga: ENGAGED in Secret?!

$

Kylie Jenner and Tyga have raised plenty of eyebrows thanks to rumors that they are romantically involved, which they have never matter-of-factly confirmed.

If this latest report is to be believed, we haven't seen anything yet:

Rumors now indicate that the 17-year-old Keeping Up with the Kardashians star may be ENGAGED to the 25-year-old rapper, just keep it under wraps.

“Kylie accepted Tyga’s proposal a few weeks ago and made the announcement to her family,” an insider claims, though they have yet to go public.

“She wants to get married as soon as she turns 18" later this year.

“She told friends that Tyga gave her a ‘symbolic ring’ and she isn’t showing anyone until her birthday, when she’ll make an official announcement."

"They’re tired of hiding,” the source said of the controversial duo.

Perhaps this is why the Kardashians no longer approve of the relationship they once begrudgingly accepted? It would certainly explain their concern.

We know Tyga's attitude is basically f--k what the law says and f--k you too if you care, as there is "nothing wrong" with the couple dating.

On August 10, that aspect of this romance will be a moot point.

They'll be free to f--k on Instagram if they want, but that doesn't change the fact that her parents and sisters are concerned about his influence.

Tyga, who has a child with ex-fiancee Blac Chyna, is currently involved in a bitter custody battle with the stripper over their child, King Cairo.

Marrying Tyga would make Kylie his stepmother, a role she can't be ready for, no matter how mature Jenner is for her age in some respects.

“She’s been exposed to more diverse experiences in a shorter period of time than other people, yet her brain is still adolescent,” a friend says.

Jenner's feud with Chyna certainly proved both can be adolescent.

On the flip side, she and Tyga have been close for years before things got physical, and he has been a constant, a source of comfort in her life.

A life that has become increasingly chaotic, especially lately.

The recent revelation that her dad, Bruce Jenner, is transitioning into being a woman had to be a jolt for the impressionable, teenage Kylie.

“This would be a very stressful situation for any child,” says one relationship expert. “Many teens imagine that a relationship can be an anchor.”

The source claimed that the teenager “can’t wait" to wed her best friend, who has proven his dedication; see Tyga tattooing Kylie's name on his arm.

Bottom line? “She’s a teenager in love.”

The End of Mad Men: What to Expect From the Series Finale

$
0
0

After seven seasons of critically-acclaimed existential despair, Mad Men will come to an end on Sunday, and even the most devoted fans really have no idea what to expect from the finale.

That’s not because the show is known for wild, Shyamalan-esque twists (though there were certainly some surprises over the years), but rather because, like The Sopranos (the show on which Matthew Weiner cut his teeth), Mad Men is unpredictable in the sometimes maddening and often meandering way that real life is.

Jon Hamm as Don Draper

Back in 2007, it seemed that fans who expected Tony Soprano to go out in a blaze of glory hadn’t really been paying attention over the years, and the same can now be said for the viewers who want Don Draper to tumble from a skyscraper or find lasting peace on a California commune.

We’re not claiming to know what will ultimately become of the man once known as Dick Whitman, but we can tell you his fate almost certainly won’t be a perfect match with any of the most popular predictions.

Weiner and his writers are known for their subtle foreshadowing (We figured there was going to be a suicide in season five, but most fans guessed Pete Campbell would be the one to check out early.), but even so, trying to guess exactly what will happen to Don in the series finale is sure to be about as fruitful an exercise as predicting where you yourself will be in five, ten or twenty years.

And therein lies much of the appeal of a series that often feels more like great literature (and dare we say, real life?) than a television show. 

Mad Men Cast

In something of a surprise move, the penultimate episode gave us more in the way of definitive endings and hints about the future than we’ve come to expect from Mad Men.

There were some illuminating callbacks and allusions in a season that’s already been filled with them, and the Internet is currently abuzz with theories and conjecture.

Even so, Don's future remains almost as characteristically murky as it's ever been.

The show has never really trafficked in bombshells, so it makes sense that in a way, the two big surprises in Mad Men Season 7 Episode 13 have been telegraphed for years.

Cigarettes and war were the specters looming over this show from day one. In fact, Don’s opening bit of dialogue in the very first episode was about smokes and military service.

So it makes sense that the unwelcome surprises that greeted Don and Betty last week were directly related to the deadly boogey-men that so often made headlines in the 1960s (and '70s).

Betty's diagnosis and Don's beat-down were both classic Matt Weiner plot developments - the kind of surprises that you realize you should have seen coming only after they blindside you.

But what now? We’ve likely seen the end of both Betty and Pete (His happy ending may have been more of a shock than her tragic illness.), and while we could spend days discussing whether or not those characters deserved more or less from the writers, the really important question at this point is, What about Don?

The last we saw of Mr. Draper/Whitman, the once-imposing ad man was at an Oklahoma bus stop, a rumpled Sears bag his only luggage.

Many fan theories went out the window (no pun intended) following the death of Betty, as while Don wasn’t always the most attentive parent, he'll likely man up when it comes time to care for Bobby and Gene.

Some feel that his newfound single-parenthood will prevent Don from reaching his West Coast Shangri-La. (A recent episode was titled “Lost Horizon,” which is also the name of the novel that gave us that term for an Edenic paradise.) Others think he’ll shirk his duties and keep right on drifting.

One interesting theory has the Draper boys relocating to Europe, and as absurd as it might sound, the move would actually make a fair amount of sense, if only because it would enable Don to resume living his life as Dick Whitman.

It's tempting to try to cobble together the clues and toss out the red herrings in search of a clear indication of what's to come, in much the same way that we'd love to see our own futures with crystal ball-clarity.

However, in both cases, it's highly unlikely that the major events will be wrapped up in a neat little package that perfectly makes sense of everything it encapsulates.

All we know at this point is that Don is heading West, just like unmoored Americans have for centuries.

Like the pioneers of yore, his future is uncertain and he's guilty of more than his fair share of atrocities, but despite the destruction the ad man of mystery has left in his wake, many of us still hope he'll find some modicum of contentment wherever he lands.

And we hope for our own sake that the future of television will offer characters just as frustrating, baffling, and strangely identifiable as the farm-boy-turned-corporatized-creative-genius-turned-beatific-drifter that we met first in a smoke-filled Manhattan bar back in 1960.

If you still need to get caught up in time to avoid those Monday morning spoilers, you can always watch Mad Men online at TV Fanatic.

Iggy Azalea, Britney Spears Perform "Pretty Girls" at Billboard Music Awards: So Much Lip Syncing!

Iggy Azalea was one of the big 2015 Billboard Music Awards winners Sunday ... and one of two "Pretty Girls" on stage along with Britney Spears.

The rapper, 24, and pop icon, 33, performed their new hit song for the first time in Las Vegas, delivering a fun and flamboyant performance.

Azalea has been under scrutiny for her live performances recently, but spit some pretty good game in this case. As for her counterpart? Well ...

Let's just say Britney Spears lip syncing rumors have become so commonplace that we can safely say they're not just rumors anymore.

In any case, the stars' "Pretty Girls" music video, an 1980s-themed homage to Earth Girls Are Easy, dropped last week to general fan praise.

This live performance, while far from the night's best, is sure to spark some interest in video streams and digital downloads for the song.

That's what it's all about, right? Plus, there was no Iggy falling off stage or Britney having to curse off fans, so we would call it a success.

But the superstar did not actually perform at the event, aside from opening the ceremony with her wildly anticipated Bad Blood video.

Who did take to the stage? Such huge names as Mariah Carey, Kanye West, Nicki Minaj and Kelly Clarkson.

One was memorable for being off-key; another for getting censored; another for wearing very little clothing; and another for being totally awesome.
