    Ginger Zee Shares New Pic of Baby Adrian, Prepares to Impress on “Dancing With the Stars”

    Ginger Zee returned from her maternity leave on Monday to her job as Good Morning America’s chief meteorologist. That’s not all the busy mom is up to these days either. She has been shuttling back and forth between New York and L.A., preparing to compete on Dancing With the Stars.

    Earlier this week, Ginger Zee shared a sweet photo of new baby Adrian. It must be hard to be separated from the little bundle of joy while she rehearses.

    Fortunately for Ginger Zee, hubby Ben Aaron is the perfect “Mr. Mom.” He often travels with his wife and tends to the baby while Val Chmerkovskiy tends to Ginger Zee’s ballroom skills.

    “I knew I was going to hit the ground running,” Ginger Zee says in a recent interview with People magazine, about her crazy schedule plus new motherhood. “I think the schedule’s going to be pretty grueling, but not in the way that I can’t handle it.”

    Will you be cheering on Ginger Zee and Val Chmerkovskiy when season 22 of Dancing With the Stars premieres on Monday, March 21?

    A mirror ball trophy would make Ginger’s current crazy lifestyle so worth it.

  • Hulk Hogan Awarded $115 Million in “Gawker” Sex Tape Trial

    Hulk Hogan Awarded $115 Million in “Gawker” Sex Tape Trial

    Hulk Hogan was awarded $115 million in a lawsuit trial against Gawker, for their posting of his sex tape online.

    “We’re exceptionally happy with the verdict. We think it represents a statement as to the public’s disgust with the invasion of privacy disguised as journalism. The verdict says no more,” Hulk Hogan’s legal team said in a statement to People magazine on Friday.

    Variety reports that the Florida jury determined Hulk Hogan–whose real name is Terry Bollea–suffered “extreme emotional distress” throughout the three years since the sex tape was posted.

    Gawker Media is already talking about filing an appeal.

    “We’re disappointed the jury was unable to see key evidence and hear testimony from the most important witness,” they said in a statement. “So it may be necessary for the appeals court to resolve this case. Hulk Hogan’s best friend Bubba the Love Sponge–who made the tape and offered up his wife in the first place–originally told his radio listeners that Hulk Hogan knew he was being taped. The jury was only able to hear a questionable version of events. Bubba should have been required to appear in court and explain what really happened.”

    “There is still more to the story,” the Gawker statement continued. “We expect the upcoming release of improperly sealed documents, important evidence that the jury should have been able to see, will begin revealing the true facts that the jury deserved to know about during deliberations.”

    David Houston, one of Hulk Hogan’s lawyers, said Bubba Clem previously testified that Hulk Hogan “had no knowledge of being filmed,” and was not involved in the sex tape’s production.

    The posting of this sex tape was at least party responsible for the end of Hulk Hogan’s 25-year marriage to wife Linda Hogan.

    Do you suppose he believes his $115 million win is worth that?

  • Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey Not Feuding Per Rumors, Oprah’s BFF Gayle King Weighs In

    Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey Not Feuding Per Rumors, Oprah’s BFF Gayle King Weighs In

    Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey are the subjects of an alleged feud–that is, if you believe everything you read. The rumors have the longtime close friends no longer speaking to one another.

    Oprah Winfrey’s BFF, Gayle King, has set the record straight, however. The CBS This Morning host and editor-at-large of O, The Oprah Magazine took to social media in her attempt to squelch the Tyler Perry-Oprah Winfrey negative chatter.

    “Huh? Just reading @Oprah & @tylerperry are angry w/each other & not speaking if that’s true (it”ain’t”)must have just happened 10 min ago!” she captioned a photo of Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry.

    A photo posted by Gayle King (@gayleking) on

    King also posted on Twitter via the alleged feud, and Tyler Perry retweeted it.

    Tyler Perry recently celebrated a huge TV milestone. 800 episodes of his various shows have aired on Oprah’s network.

    I got surprised this morning by my folks. I had no idea I had done this many TV episodes. To the millions of you who…

    Tyler Perry then shared this Facebook post, on which Oprah Winfrey is up on his shoulders.

    This picture was taken last week as Oprah came down to celebrate with me and the cast and crew!!!

    Posted by Tyler Perry on Thursday, March 17, 2016

    For those who care, it certainly seems like the feud between Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey is nothing but a rumor.

    And for those who don’t–and yes, there are sure to be many–rest assured something even juicier is likely to turn up.

    Oprah has Gayle King, however, to lay it all out for her.

    Tyler Perry has Oprah.

    Do you see how these rumors transpire?

  • Ben Affleck: Giant Back Tattoo is Fake, “Inked” for Upcoming Film Role

    Ben Affleck: Giant Back Tattoo is Fake, “Inked” for Upcoming Film Role

    Ben Affleck has taken lots of ribbing over a giant tattoo he has sported on his back since early March. A large bird, raising its wings as though about to take flight, the ink appears to be that of a phoenix.

    Even the Phoenix Suns got in on the Ben Affleck bashing earlier this month.

    Both ex-wife Jennifer Garner and ex-fiancee Jennifer Lopez hate the tattoo.

    Fortunately, for all the Ben Affleck tattoo haters, the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice star shared in a recent interview with Extra’s Mario Lopez that the giant tattoo on his back is fake. The alleged ink is for an upcoming movie role.

    “I actually do have a number of tattoos…but I try to have them in places where you don’t have to do a lot of cover up…they get sort of addictive, tattoos, after awhile,” he told the Extra host.

    Are you glad to learn that the giant phoenix on Ben Affleck’s back isn’t a real tattoo?

    Fans can check out Ben Affleck–sans the tattoo–when Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice hits theaters nationwide on March 25.

  • Joran van der Sloot: So-Called Confession Publicity Stunt According to Natalee Holloway’s Dad

    Joran van der Sloot: So-Called Confession Publicity Stunt According to Natalee Holloway’s Dad

    Joran van der Sloot, the only suspect in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, made a recorded confession in his jail cell in Peru, where he is serving a 28-year sentence for murdering 21-year-old Peruvian Stephany Flores Ramirez. Someone working for both RadarOnline and The Enquirer obtained the alleged confession.

    “I always lied to the police. I never told the truth,” Joran van der Sloot said. “Also, when I was younger, I never told everything. The police just never knew what they had to ask me.”

    In a recent interview with the Huffington Post, Natalee Holloway’s father, Dave Holloway, says Joran van der Sloot’s so-called confession is nothing but a publicity stunt.

    “They think they’ve got something when they really don’t,” he said. “A lot of people don’t realize that in Aruba, a verbal or recorded confession is not valid unless it’s a statement signed in writing.

    “Tabloids will pay for [his story] because it sells magazines, but that’s never printed,” Holloway added.

    Natalee Holloway was on a high school senior trip in 2005 when she disappeared. She was last seen leaving a bar with Joran van der Sloot. She was just 18 years old.

    Joran Van der Sloot could eventually face extradition to the United States, where he could face charges that allege he extorted and defrauded Natalee Holloway’s mother, Beth–but that can’t take place until 2038, when he completes his sentence in Peru. In 2014 U.S. prosecutors alleged that Joran van der Sloot accepted $25,000 in cash from Beth Holloway in exchange for a promise to lead a family lawyer to Natalee Holloway’s body in early 2010, just before he left Aruba for Peru.

    It’s interesting to note that Joran van der Sloot murdered Stephany Flores Ramirez five years to the day after Natalee Holloway disappeared.

    “We’ve still got a long way to go to get justice,” Dave Holloway says.

    Do you believe Joran van der Sloot will ever be brought to justice? Will Beth and Dave Holloway ever find out what really happened to their daughter?

    Joran van der Sloot has a habit of concocting scenarios about what happened to Natalee Holloway and issuing these “confessions.” He is a conniving murderer who treats the Natalee Holloway disappearance as some sort of sick game.

  • “Gold Rush” Patriarch John Schnabel Passes Away at 96, Discovery Honors Him On-Air

    “Gold Rush” Patriarch John Schnabel Passes Away at 96, Discovery Honors Him On-Air

    Gold Rush patriarch John Schnabel died Friday morning at the age of 96. His grandson, Parker Schnabel, shared word of his passing via social media.

    Early this morning my grandfather passed away after battling with several severe health issues. He was an amazing…

    Posted by Parker Schnabel on Friday, March 18, 2016

    Several hours later, Parker shared yet another tribute to the Gold Rush legend.

    He lived a good life ! Rest in peace my friend. Always a smile till the bitter end.

    Posted by Parker Schnabel on Friday, March 18, 2016

    John Schnabel owned the Big Nugget Mine near Haines, which is located in Southeast Alaska–as featured in Discovery’s Gold Rush. He first suffered heart problems at the age of 68, undergoing a triple bypass at that time. His doctor recommended he stay busy, so he bought the mine, and set about teaching his two grandsons how to prospect, pan, and operate the equipment used in gold mining.

    Haines, Alaska’s mayor, Janice Hill, expressed sorrow over the Gold Rush patriarch’s passing.

    “Everywhere I went today people were sharing the news and expressing their condolences,” she said.

    Hill grew up with John Schnabel’s children. She said at some point in time most everyone in Haines was involved in John Schnabel’s businesses.

    “We all do what we need to do in order to live here, because we want to live here,” she said. “And he certainly fit that lifestyle.”

    It’s clear that John Schnabel was a legend and that he will be sorely missed–not only by his family, but from the townspeople, too.

    John Schnabel was honored by Discovery, the network that produces Gold Rush, ahead of a two-hour airing of the show on Friday night.

  • Blake Shelton Sues “In Touch” Magazine for Claiming He Has Drinking Problem, Urinated on Mailbox

    Blake Shelton Sues “In Touch” Magazine for Claiming He Has Drinking Problem, Urinated on Mailbox

    Blake Shelton filed a lawsuit several weeks back against In Touch Weekly for defamation. It seems the tabloid claimed The Voice coach and country singer has a drinking problem, noting that he–among other unsavory things–even urinated on a mailbox because of said problem.

    In addition, the magazine alleged Blake Shelton’s drinking contributed to his split from Miranda Lambert, saying he was unfaithful to her.

    TMZ obtained a sworn declaration Blake Shelton submitted to the courts on Thursday. In it he lists several points that ascertin In Touch published glaring untruths.

    They are as follows:

    “I have never been to rehab.”

    “I did not then nor have I ever hit rock bottom.”

    “I do not drink excessively, binge drink or have a drinking problem.”

    “I do not drink vodka before 11 AM.”

    “I am never drunk, intoxicated, or unable to perform my job on The Voice.

    “I do not slur my words or stumble when I drink.”

    “I have never urinated on a mailbox.”

    “My ex-wife Miranda Lambert did not catch me with a bunch of naked women in our Tennessee home.”

    Judy Smith is the real-life inspiration for Scandal character Olivia Pope. She is also the lawyer representing Blake Shelton in this case.

    “The story was categorically false. Blake said enough is enough and decided to fight back,” she said in a recent interview with TMZ.

    Kudos to Blake Shelton for hitting back at this sort of defamation. Tabloids have long gotten away with publishing complete lies about countless celebrities. These kinds of lies can damage a person’s credibility and turn fans away.

    It will be interesting to learn if Blake Shelton’s case moves forward. It must pass through some hurdles before it actually heads to court, but it’s well on its way.

    Fortunately Blake Shelton has Gwen Stefani by his side these days, lending her love and support to her “cowboy.”

    Blake Shelton is seeking $2 million in this lawsuit.

  • Kristhielee Caride: Why Was Miss Universe Puerto Rico Stripped of Her Crown?

    Kristhielee Caride: Why Was Miss Universe Puerto Rico Stripped of Her Crown?

    Kristhielee Caride was Puerto Rico’s representative in the upcoming 2016 Miss Universe Pageant, but on Thursday the beauty queen was stripped of her crown.

    Director of the Miss Universe Puerto Rico pageant, Desiree Lowry, made the announcement during a press conference earlier this week.

    “I saw the damage that she was doing and the damage that she was doing to the organization,” she said.

    What kind of “damage” did Kristhielee Caride do to the Miss Universe Puerto Rico organization? Is there some sort of hidden scandal behind her pretty face?

    Surprisingly, no. Usually when pageant winners are stripped of their crowns, something inappropriate from their past has surfaced in the media. Do you remember when Miss America Vanessa Williams was stripped of her crown back in 1984? Nude photos of Williams in sexually explicit poses with other women came back to haunt the aspiring actress and accomplished singer, costing her the title of Miss America.

    Kristhielee Caride, however, did nothing of the sort. She simply doesn’t like cameras, and she made that dislike known–during an interview with a newspaper in Puerto Rico.

    “I just do not like cameras,” she said.

    “I wanted the earth to swallow me,” Lowry said of watching the interview, according to the Associated Press. “You always have to put your best face forward…it’s a given that we are going to be in front of cameras and that we have to answer all types of questions.”

    Kristhielee Caride never apologized for what Lowry calls “the unfortunate interview,” and therefore the director decided it was time for her to go. She later apologized via Facebook in a post that has since been removed.

    Brenda Jiminez has been crowned the new Miss Puerto Rico Universe 2016, taking Kristhielee Caride’s place.

    It was no doubt devastating to be stripped of her crown, but surely Kristhielee Caride knew that being in front of cameras is a big part of being Miss Universe Puerto Rico.

  • Mia Goth: Are She and Shia LaBeouf Engaged?

    Mia Goth: Are She and Shia LaBeouf Engaged?

    Mia Goth is sporting a sizable diamond ring these days. Does that mean she and Shia LaBeouf are engaged?

    People magazine seems to think so, but cautions that this isn’t the first time Mia Goth and Shia LaBeouf have caused this kind of speculation.

    It was just about a year ago when the two–who have been dating since 2012–were spotted at the Miu Miu fashion show in Paris, and she had a rock on her left hand.

    This latest engagement rumor comes after a rather crazy year for Shia LaBeouf. He recently rode up and down on an elevator in London, and called it “performance art.” If Mia Goth can put up with that, she can likely deal with being married to the Indiana Jones actor.

    Mia Goth is an actress, who has appeared in films including Everest. She currently stars in the horror film A Cure for Wellness.

    What kind of a wedding do you suppose Mia Goth and Shia LaBeouf might have, if this engagement is for real this time?

    It will likely be something completely out of the ordinary. Shia LaBeouf hasn’t done much in a long time that most would consider normal.

    Do you expect congratulations are in order for Mia Goth and Shia LaBeouf?

  • Rory Feek Shares Poignant Memories, Video of Joey Feek’s Public Memorial Service

    Rory Feek Shares Poignant Memories, Video of Joey Feek’s Public Memorial Service

    Rory Feek shared poignant memories of the memorial service celebrating the life of his late wife, Joey Feek, in her hometown of Alexandria, Indiana on Sunday, on his blog, This Life I Live on Friday.

    “We took one final tour-bus ride home. To Joey’s town. To grieve with and celebrate with the people in her community. And to lift up one of their own with tears and joy and songs and speeches,” Rory wrote.

    “In the Alexandria High School gymnasium–the same place where Joey had played basketball and volleyball and cheered for her home team–a few thousand people gathered together in her honor. But this time, the cheers were all for her.”

    Rory Feek explained that while two-year-old daughter Indiana napped following their drive from Tennessee, he sat on the floor of the Joey + Rory tour bus and jotted down a few things we wanted to say at Joey’s memorial.

    “A few minutes before, as Indy was still napping, I sat in the back hallway of the bus and did my best to come up with a few words to say…to thank this town and to lift up my beautiful bride and this community,” Rory penned.

    “Bill and Gloria Gaither hosted the celebration and they and a number of family and friends came up one by one to speak. Joey’s mother and father sang a hymn and shared a few words from their hearts. Her sister Jody talked about being by our side as Joey’s caregiver for the last few months and how Joey has impacted her as a woman and mother. And hometown-hero Carl Erskine, who pitched for the Dodgers in 40’s and 50’s played his harmonica and shared wisdom about raising a child with Down Syndrome with me. Joey’s high school coach Mr Howell even gave me a letter jacket from the high school with Joey’s name on it. An honor that is especially meaningful to a man who’s favorite movie is ‘Hoosiers’ and never lived in one town long enough to play sports or get the chance to try to earn one on his own,” he added.

    Following Rory Feek’s turn to speak at Joey’s memorial, he and Indy watched a video featuring Joey Feek.

    “It was hard and beautiful to watch at the same time,” he shared.

    “The whole day was so special. Thank you to everyone who was there and to everyone who wished they could be there with us. Like me, I know my wife would’ve found a way to see the beauty in this sad day,” Rory added.

    Bill Gaither gave Rory Feek a short excerpt of Joey’s memorial to share on his blog.

    Sunday’s memorial service for the Joey + Rory singer was the final service for Joey Feek. Rory Feek, family members, and close friends celebrated her life at a private funeral on their Tennessee farm on the Tuesday before. Joey was buried afterward in the small family cemetery on the farm.

    Now that the services are over, Rory Feek can start figuring out how to move forward–as a single dad to little Indiana, and as a husband without his beloved wife. Surely countless people are praying for Rory Feek to find his way.

  • Larry Drake, Benny Stulwicz on “L.A. Law,” Dies at 67

    Larry Drake, Benny Stulwicz on “L.A. Law,” Dies at 67

    Larry Drake, best known for his role as a developmentally delayed office clerk named Benny Stulwicz on the TV show L.A. Law, died on Thursday at his L.A. home.

    The role of Benny started out as a small role on L.A. Law when the show began in 1986. By the time it ended, the role was expanded, with Larry Drake winning Emmy Awards for it in both 1988 and 1989.

    Drake’s manager, Steven Siebert, confirmed his death. While the cause of death wasn’t immediately known, Larry Drake had a number of health problems.

    Many fans of Larry Drake believed he was developmentally challenged himself. He considered that a huge compliment.

    “It’s a wonderful compliment,” he said in an interview back in 1988. “Either I fool people, or they’re willing to play the game.”

    In addition to his role as Benny Stulwicz on L.A. Law, Larry Drake appeared in a few movies in the 1990s, including Darkman, Dr. Giggles, and Bean.

    Prior to his work on TV and in films, Drake performed in dinner theaters.

    In recent years Drake worked as an acting instructor. His real passion, however, was baseball. Larry Drake visited every major league ballpark in the United States, according to his close friend Esben Melbye.

    Do you remember Benny Stulwicz on L.A. Law? Were you a fan of the show from the 1980s and 1990s?

  • Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton: No Sexting for This Couple

    Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton: No Sexting for This Couple

    Gwen Stefani swears in a recent interview with Time magazine that she and boyfriend Blake Shelton have never sexted. In fact, the No Doubt front woman wasn’t even familiar with the term.

    “I’ve never sexted before,” the multi-Grammy winner said. “What’s sexting?”

    Gwen Stefani’s new album, “This is What the Truth Feels Like” dropped today, and the mom of three has undergone many changes since she last released an album. The year was 2006, and she was married to Gavin Rossdale then.

    Gavin Rossdale engaged in something akin to sexting when a nanny shared some sweet talk with him and Gwen Stefani found it on the family’s iPad. Now the two are divorced and she is dating Blake Shelton.

    Since her split from the Bush front man, Gwen Stefani has worked diligently at redefining her life. In addition to meeting and falling in love with Blake Shelton, she appeared as a coach on The Voice and created this new album.

    Although Gwen doesn’t like the fact that Gavin Rossdale gets to have their children for half of the time in a 50/50 custody arrangement, she isn’t letting that get her down either. She and Blake Shelton do some fun things with sons Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo when they’re with their mom, leaving her plenty of time to spend solo with Blake, and to work on her music, too.

    Have you checked out Gwen Stefani’s new album yet? Are you a bit shocked, given how much of a modern woman that Gwen Stefani is, that she and Blake Shelton haven’t sexted?

    Maybe one day those tables will turn.

    Ginger Zee Returns to “GMA,” Prepares for “Dancing With the Stars”

    Ginger Zee is one very busy new mom. She returned to her job as Good Morning America’s chief meteorologist on Monday, following her maternity leave–and she is preparing for the upcoming season of Dancing With the Stars. That’s a lot for a new mom to handle.

    Fortunately for Ginger Zee, husband Ben Aaron is ready and willing to take over her duties whenever she’s unavailable. He changes Adrian Benjamin’s (born in December) diapers and puts in extra time when his wife flies back and forth from her job in New York to DWTS in L.A.

    “I knew I was going to hit the ground running,” Ginger Zee says in a recent interview with People magazine. “I think the schedule’s going to be pretty grueling, but not in the way that I can’t handle it.

    Fans will no doubt love watching Ginger Zee compete on season 22 of Dancing With the Stars. Paired with pro dancer Val Chmerkovskiy, she will learn how to perform on the ballroom floor from one of the best.

    Starting next week fans can see Ginger Zee on both GMA and Dancing With the Stars. Season 22 begins on March 21.

  • Natalee Holloway: Father Says Joran van der Sloot’s Recent Confession is a Publicity Stunt

    Natalee Holloway: Father Says Joran van der Sloot’s Recent Confession is a Publicity Stunt

    Natalee Holloway’s alleged killer, Joran van der Sloot, made an apparent recorded confession in his jail cell in Peru, where he is serving a 28-year sentence for murdering 21-year-old Peruvian Stephany Flores Ramirez. It was in a video shot by someone working for both RadarOnline and The Enquirer that van der Sloot allegedly confessed.

    “I always lied to the police. I never told the truth,” van der Sloot said. “Also, when I was younger, I never told everything. The police just never knew what they had to ask me.”

    In an interview with the Huffington Post, Natalee Holloway’s father, Dave Holloway, says van der Sloot’s so-called confession is nothing but a publicity stunt.

    “They think they’ve got something when they really don’t,” he said. “A lot of people don’t realize that in Aruba, a verbal or recorded confession is not valid unless it’s a statement signed in writing.

    “Tabloids will pay for [his story] because it sells magazines, but that’s never printed,” Dave Holloway added.

    Natalee Holloway was just 18 when she disappeared in Aruba from a high school senior trip in 2005. She was last seen leaving a bar with Joran van der Sloot.

    Joran Van der Sloot could be extradited to the U.S. to face charges that allege he extorted and defrauded Natalee Holloway’s mother, Beth–but it wouldn’t be until 2038, when he completes his sentence in Peru. In 2014 U.S. prosecutors alleged that Van der Sloot accepted $25,000 in cash from Beth Holloway in exchange for a promise to lead a lawyer for the family to Natalee Holloway’s body in early 2010, just before he went to Peru.

    Incidentally, Joran van der Sloot murdered Stephany Flores Ramirez five years to the day after Natalee Holloway disappeared.

    “We’ve still got a long way to go to get justice,” Dave Holloway says.

    It would do not only Natalee Holloway’s parents good to see Joran van der Sloot jailed for something even remotely pertaining to their case, it would please most Americans, too. It’s clear he is a very clever criminal, and will likely never tell the truth about what he allegedly did to Natalee Holloway.

    The devastation Dave and Beth Holloway have endured since Natalee’s disappearance in the past 11 years is unthinkable. Seeing them get even a tiny shred of justice would please a lot of people.

  • Miranda Lambert Has Gone to the Dogs Since Split from Blake Shelton

    Miranda Lambert Has Gone to the Dogs Since Split from Blake Shelton

    Miranda Lambert has really gone to the dogs since her split from Blake Shelton. But don’t worry, because that’s not a bad thing.

    Having just announced the name of her new business, MuttNation Fueled by Miranda Lambert, the country sweetheart is behind a new collection of items for dogs.

    “I’m excited to let y’all know that I’m launching a line of pet products, toys, bedding and apparel etc… With @petmatepetproducts “MuttNation fueled by Miranda Lambert.” @muttnationfoundation #loveashelterpet #adopt #playtime #adogslife,” Lambert captioned an Instagram post.

    MuttNation Fueled by Miranda Lambert will be up and running by July. Proceeds will help rescue and adoption programs of the MuttNation Foundation, which was established by Miranda Lambert and her brother.

    Miranda issued a press release about her new venture.

    “It’s an extension of me and my mom’s love for all dogs and our goal of helping every dog find a happy, loving home,” she said. “We are beyond thrilled to have Petmate as a committed and trustworthy partner that shares that same vision. There are millions of beautiful dogs looking for homes and it is our hope that in addition to raising money, we will raise awareness to the joy of adopting a shelter pet.”

    Miranda Lambert’s line will feature stuffed animals, bedding, collars, toys, and feeding bowls for dogs.

    Yes, Miranda Lambert has definitely gone to the dogs since her split from Blake Shelton–but not in a negative way whatsoever. In addition, she and boyfriend Anderson East appear to be going strong.

    Ariel Winter Poses in Sexy String Bikini Following Breast Reduction Surgery

    Ariel Winter had breast reduction surgery last June. Some women who have their breast size reduced don’t wear skimpy clothing, for fear of others seeing their scars. Not so with Ariel Winter.

    The Modern Family star is proud of her body. She wore a dress to the Oscars that showed her scars, and she couldn’t have cared less.

  • Kurt Cobain: Seattle Police Release Photos of Suicide Gun for First Time

    Kurt Cobain: Seattle Police Release Photos of Suicide Gun for First Time

    Kurt Cobain committed suicide more than twenty years ago, and on Wednesday, Seattle police released photos of the suicide gun he used. This is the first time anyone not related to the investigation has seen the photos.

    Page Six reports the photos were taken last June and posted to the Seattle Police Department’s website on Wednesday.

    Seattle police cold case Detective Mike Ciesynski is shown holding Kurt Cobain’s gun at different angles in a total of five photos.

    No one has said why photos of the gun were taken and posted to the police department’s website. Calls for comment from Page Six went unanswered on Thursday.

    Kurt Cobain took his life some days before his body was found on April 8, 1984. He had taken a large dose of heroin and then killed himself with the 20-gauge shotgun.

    On the 20th anniversary of Kurt Cobain’s death, Detective Mike Ciesynski reviewed the files and determined there was nothing there to lead anyone to think the grunge rocker and Nirvana front man didn’t commit suicide. Ciesynski found a few roles of film that hadn’t been developed. He developed and posted those pictures on the website at that time.

    Kurt Cobain was just 27 when he died.

    Trent Harmon wowed American Idol judges on Thursday with his rendition of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Simple Man.” He even brought Jennifer Lopez to tears.

    “It’s moments like this [that remind me] why I love Idol and why I’m going to miss it so much,” she said, referencing the show’s current and final 15th season. “It’s been having this front seat to watching the perfect song and the perfect singer sing it at that time.”

    “That’s what happened there, and it made me feel like, ‘Damn, I’ve been so lucky the five years I got to be on the show and watch things like that,’” she added of Trent’s performance. “You sang that song so beautifully, and I felt every single word of it. Thank you for giving me one of those moments.”

    Harry Connick, Jr. was impressed with Trent Harmon, too.

  • Kristhielee Caride, Miss Universe Puerto Rico, Stripped of Crown

    Kristhielee Caride, Miss Universe Puerto Rico, Stripped of Crown

    Kristhielee Caride was set to represent Puerto Rico in the 2016 Miss Universe Pageant, but on Thursday she was stripped of her crown.

    Desiree Lowry is the director of the Miss Universe Puerto Rico pageant. She made the announcement during a press conference.

    “I saw the damage that she was doing and the damage that she was doing to the organization,” she said.

    What did Kristhielee Caride do that caused the pageant director to speak of her in this manner? Did the pageant discover sexually explicit photos of her from years back–the way the Miss America Pageant found shots of Vanessa Williams in very explicit poses with other women–back in the 1980s?

    No. Kristhielee Caride did nothing of the sort. The beauty queen simply doesn’t like having her picture taken.

    It seems Desiree Lowry was with Kristhelee Caride for an interview with a local newspaper in Puerto Rico.

    “I just do not like cameras,” the beauty queen said.

    “I wanted the earth to swallow me,” Lowry said of watching the interview, according to the Associated Press. “You always have to put your best face forward…it’s a given that we are going to be in front of cameras and that we have to answer all types of questions.”

    Kristhielee Caride never apologized for what Lowry calls “the unfortunate interview,” and therefore the director decided it was time for her to go.

    In a lengthy post on Facebook, Kristhielee Caride finally made her apology.

    Posted by Kristhielee Caride on Thursday, March 17, 2016

    In place of Kristhielee Caride, Brenda Jiminez has been crowned the new Miss Puerto Rico Universe 2016.

    While it must have been devastating to be stripped of her crown, Kristhielee Caride no doubt knew going in to the pageant that being photographed and interviewed with simply part of the plan.
