  • Jade Helm 15 Will Go Forward Without Any Media Coverage Allowed, Conspiracy Theories Fueled

    Jade Helm 15, a heavily controversial military exercise, will begin next week.

    The media will have no access to what is going on during Jade Helm 15.

    If you thought the original announcement of the operation spawned some outrageous conspiracy theories, the news that Jade Helm 15 will not be witness by any reporters ought to really throw fuel on the fire.

    During Jade Helm 15, secret Special Operations troops will maneuver through private and publicly owned land in several southern states from July 15th-September 15th.

    Lt. Col. Mark Lastoria, spokesman for Army Special Operations Command, said the ASOC is considering allowing a small number of journalists to view specially chosen windows of Jade Helm later this summer, but no promises.

    He said, “All requests from the media for interviews and coverage of U.S. Army Special Operations Command personnel, organizations and events are assessed for feasibility and granted when and where possible. We are dedicated to communicating with the public, while balancing that against the application of operations security and other factors.”

    The most interesting (frightening) part of Jade Helm 15 is that troops will be moving among the population incognito. Ok, maybe it’s not that frightening, but it’s a little weird.

    Roy Boyd, chief deputy with the Victoria County, Texas Sheriff’s Office told the Houston Chronicle back in March, “They’re going to set up cells of people and test how well they’re able to move around without getting too noticed in the community. They’re testing their abilities to basically blend in with the local environment and not stand out and blow their cover.”

    The Jade Helm operation has been a hotbed for conspiracy theories. Wikipedia says these theories range from a “psychological operation aimed at getting people used to seeing military forces on the streets” so they do not realize when an invasion actually takes place to an international operation to gather guns.

    Others predict that recently closed Walmart stores will be used by the military to “stockpile supplies for Chinese troops who will be arriving to disarm Americans”, and still other theories claim that Jade Helm is a military plan to “round up political dissidents” and “remove key political figures” who may be against the government.

  • Kelly Ripa Rocks Blue Hair, Makes Everyone Want To Try Something New For Summer

    Kelly Ripa debuted a new ‘do on Wednesday that just might make for this summer’s big hair trend.

    Not one to shy away from trying new things, especially with her hair lately, Kelly Ripa teased the new hair color on Instagram.

    Kelly Ripa posted a pic of her smurf-hued hair from the back and teased with a caption that read, “Shady’s back, tell a friend………”

    And that song is now stuck in your head for the remainder of the day. Thanks, Kelly Ripa.

    Is the new blue trend started by Kelly Ripa something you would try?

    On Thursday’s show, Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan discussed the reaction from Kelly’s hubby, Mark Consuelos.

    She explained that the initial result was unpleasant.

    Kelly Ripa said, “What’s sad is I get two shampoos and it’s back to normal. This took almost five hours. I wanted to try blue because I wanted to try pink and I really liked it.”

    She added, “I wanted to try red and he said, ‘Why don’t we do another shocker?’ We dyed it blue and it turned a lime green … and Mark walks upstairs and he’s like [deep breath]. He’s like, ‘Oh my gosh, you look like the Lucky Charms guy.’”

    This is what Kelly Ripa looked like last month:

    for the love of P!NK @ryantrygstadhair you are boss!

    Kelly Ripa continued, “My sons love it, they think I look like a superhero. I call it Patience Woman, because I have nothing but patience. Mark — I was like, ‘What do you think?’ — and he was like, ‘I like the cut!’ He doesn’t like outrageous hair color, but I don’t care. I’m like, ‘I’m your new wife, Blueberry.’”

    What color would you try if you could go Kelly Ripa for a couple of days with a bold color?

  • Jennifer Aniston Loves The Smell Of A Sweaty Man And Church

    Jennifer Aniston is one of those celebrities that the world just seems to want to know every detail about.

    Since we know so much about Jennifer Aniston already, it was exciting for fans to finally find out what her favorite scents are. And some of them are a little, well, unusual.

    Jennifer Aniston just released her third perfume and after the first two, she wanted something a little different.

    Of her perfume, Jennifer Aniston revealed, “I’ve been wanting to do more of a nighttime fragrance, something a little sexier. The others are a little lighter and more daytimey.”

    Jennifer Aniston’s new fragrance includes a hint of jasmine, which she said is one of her favorite scents.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCg1IqPhJ8M

    Jennifer Aniston said of the flower, “I grew up in New York City, so I wasn’t around flowers that much. But, when I’d go to my friends’ houses in the country, it was one of those smells I loved. It gives you a feeling of butterflies … the anticipation of something really wonderful and fun approaching.”

    Besides jasmine, Jennifer Aniston has a few other favorites that are unexpected, like Ellen Degeneres’ house.

    Jennifer Aniston said of the smell that lingers in Degeneres’ home, “It’s delicious. I can’t put my finger on it. It’s really earthy.”

    Add to that list church. Yep, church. Jennifer Aniston said, “I love the smell of church—any church. I’m not religious in any way, but I do love all of those wonderful incenses.”

    And finally, sweaty men.

    She said, “I’m very anti-cologne on men. I love the way they smell naturally. Their own eau de sweat.”

    That’s just kind of gross. Maybe Justin Theroux doesn’t smell like the normal sweaty man?

    What do you think of Jennifer Aniston’s scent faves? If you live with a sweaty man, do you adore his smell?

  • Amanda Peterson: Mother Says The Death Of “Can’t Buy Me Love” Star Was Definitely Not “A Drug Thing”, Though She Had Drug History

    Amanda Peterson, star of the 1987 classic Can’t Buy Me Love, was found dead in her Greeley, Colorado apartment on Sunday.

    And while some speculate that Amanda Peterson, aka Cindy Mancini, followed a familiar Hollywood washout’s path, her mother says this couldn’t be so.

    Amanda Peterson’s mother, Sylvia, said that her daughter struggled with depression and sleep apnea. However, she added that she had no major heart problems or anything else that could have caused her death.

    She also stated that Amanda Peterson had previously lived in a house with mold, but she had moved out over two years ago.

    So what was it that caused Amanda Peterson’s untimely death?

    While the family of Amanda Peterson awaits further toxicology reports, her mother is confident that there were no drugs involved, though she admitted that Amanda has a history of drug abuse.

    Her mother is confident that Amanda Peterson has been clean for a long time.

    She stated, after Amanda Peterson’s death, “This was not, in any way, a drug thing.”

    Amanda Peterson quit acting a long, long time ago, and for good reason. She seemed to see the path that she was about to go on and wasn’t interested.

    Amanda Peterson said in a 1988 interview, “Hollywood especially tries – well, I don’t know if it tries to or not — but it cliches these teenagers and it’s really bothersome.”

    She continued, “After a while every guy is trying to lose his virginity and every girl is whatever and, you know, they’re like party animals.”

    That is a pretty good assessment by Amanda Peterson of what the movie industry was like, and continues to be like.

    What do you think happened to Amanda Peterson?

  • Jennette McCurdy “Uncomfortable” In Minimal Makeup For “Between”

    Jennette McCurdy is definitely excited that her Netflix show, Between, has been picked up for another season.

    On Tuesday, Jennette McCurdy announced the good news via a Twitter post.

    Jennette McCurdy later said of the news, “I’m thrilled to be continuing on with a second season of Between. Working with Netflix, City, and the entire cast and crew has been such an enjoyable experience and I can’t wait for more.”

    Well, if Jennette McCurdy is preparing for another season, it’s a good thing she likes her role. And with that role comes a very different makeup routine than she had during her days on iCarly.

    Jennette McCurdy revealed that she wasn’t too happy with the makeup she had to wear as a kid on the Nickelodeon show.

    She said, “It’s funny, because growing up acting, I hated all the makeup they put on me — I was a tomboy and that foundation always felt so caked-on.”

    She added, “But for this character [on Between], they wanted my hair slicked back, so every day it was in a pony that wasn’t even brushed. We’re talking minimal. And then I had the grown-out bangs, which would flop about, and they became known as the ‘little seagull wings’ on set.”

    do you

    A photo posted by Jennette McCurdy (@jennettemccurdy) on

    That being said, Jennette McCurdy admitted that she feels a little uncomfortable being in front of the camera without a mask of makeup.

    Jennette McCurdy said, “I find it easier to act when I feel comfortable with how I look with the makeup on. It’s such a vulnerable thing to have cameras in your face and a crew around watching you all day. Yeah, it can be uncomfortable, but I least I know my blemishes are covered. That’s a great feeling.”

    What do you think of Jennette McCurdy’s show, Between? Do you think she looks better in a more natural look or do you prefer her made-up face on her earlier shows?

  • Cheryl Burke Is Out, Former Miss Wisconsin Is In To Co-Host Miss USA

    Cheryl Burke has officially been replaced as co-host of the Miss USA pageant by former Miss Wisconsin Alex Wehrley.

    Cheryl Burke announced that she was leaving the pageant shortly after Donald Trump’s now infamous comments on illegal immigrants.

    As a co-host, Cheryl Burke was only one of most of the people who were hosting, judging, or performing at the Miss USA pageant who dropped out.

    In a statement posted to her social media accounts, Cheryl Burke outlined her reasons for leaving the pageant.

    Cheryl Burke’s statement said, in part, “In light of the recent statements made by Donald Trump and the subsequent decision by NBC to cut ties with Mr. Trump, I cannot in good conscience move forward with participating in this year’s Miss USA Pageant as its co-host.”

    In case you’ve been under a rock, Donald Trump’s statement that sent the Miss USA world crashing down and sent Cheryl Burke packing was, “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending the best.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_q61B-DyPk

    He added, “They’re not sending you, they’re sending people that have lots of problems and they’re bringing those problems. They’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime. They’re rapists and some, I assume, are good people, but I speak to border guards and they’re telling us what we’re getting.”

    Well, the show must, and will, go one without Cheryl Burke. Fans of the Miss USA pageant will be very pleased.

    What do you think of Cheryl Burke’s replacement, former Miss Wisconsin Alex Wehrley? Will you be watching the pageant?

  • Led Zeppelin Releases Video Preview Of “In Through The Out Door” Expanded Reissue

    Led Zeppelin’s reissue campaign is marching along to the next expanded package, which will be 1979’s In Through the Out Door available on July 31st.

    Led Zeppelin have already released reissues of many of their iconic albums before In Through the Out Door.

    Beginning in June of last year, Led Zeppelin has been reissuing their albums starting with their albums Led Zeppelin I, Led Zeppelin II, and Led Zeppelin III.

    Then, last October Led Zeppelin put out the reissues of Led Zeppelin IV and Houses of the Holy.

    In February of this year, Led Zeppelin dealt out the reissue of Physical Graffiti.

    Led Zeppelin released a video of what a person will get when they purchase the reissue package.

    In Through the Out Door is Led Zeppelin’s eighth studio album. It included the songs “Hot Dog” and “The Hook”.

    Coming soon from Led Zeppelin will be the reissues of 1976’s Presence and 1982’s Coda.

    Eduardo Rivadavia of Ultimate Classic Rock shed some light on the reissue and the story behind the original in an article from May of this year.

    He wrote, “On May 30, 1978, Led Zeppelin – which had been sidelined in recent years by personal issues, including the tragic death of singer Robert Plant’s young son – reconvened in Stockholm to begin working on the band’s eighth album, In Through the Out Door.”

    He continued, “But, with Zep mastermind Jimmy Page mired in a nasty heroin addiction and other more mysterious afflictions (mostly rumors about his oft-publicized interest in the occult), and drummer John Bonham battling alcoholism, it was left to bassist and keyboardist John Paul Jones and singer Plant to pilot the battered old airship through the album’s sessions.”

    Really interesting insight into how Led Zeppelin’s In Through the Out Door came to be!

    Will you be buying Led Zeppelin’s reissue of In Through the Out Door?

  • Meghan Trainor Cancels Three More Shows On Tour Due To Hemorrhage On Vocal Chords

    Meghan Trainor has now had to cancel three more shows on her MTrainTour because of an incredibly painful-sounding hemorrhage on her vocal chords.

    Meghan Trainor shared the news via Instagram, stating in part, “I have bad news, my doctor says I have to postpone two more dates, Detroit & Chicago and sadly I have to cancel my appearance at the Common Ground Music Festival. But there is good news!! I’m feeling much better, have already rescheduled most dates and will come back around to see you all soon!!”

    Meghan Trainor previously canceled shows at the Borgata in Atlantic City, NJ and at the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, CT.

    The news is devastating to Meghan Trainor’s fans, charmingly called Megatronz.

    I have bad news, my doctor says I have to postpone two more dates, Detroit & Chicago and sadly I have to cancel my appearance at the Common Ground Music Festival. But there is good news!!

    Poor Meghan Trainor! She really seems miserable over her condition and even more miserable that she has let her fans down.

    Hopefully Meghan Trainor will get better soon.

  • Jeannie Mai Is Latest To Drop From Miss USA Duties, Cites Trump’s Continued “Antics”

    Jeannie Mai stated just last week that she would stick with the pageant despite the fallout from Trump’s campaign announcement speech.

    Now, Jeannie Mai has withdrawn from her duties as co-host of the pageant.

    In Trump’s speech, he stated in part, “When Mexico (meaning the Mexican Government) sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you (pointing to the audience). They’re not sending you (pointing again).”

    He continued, “They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems to us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people! But I speak to border guards and they tell us what we’re getting.”

    After his speech, people dropped like flies from the Miss USA pageant, which is co-owned by Donald Trump, including most of the co-hosts, judges, and musical performers.

    While I absolutely do not condone Mr. Trump's statements, after careful deliberation I have decided to continue my role as co-host of the upcoming Miss USA Pageant. For the past several years, I have been co-hosting both Miss USA and Miss Universe aligned to support President Paula Shugart. I can't abandon these women when they need our support now more than ever. The mission of the Miss Universe organization has always been to unite women from all over the world and celebrate different cultures. They empower women to become role models in their communities in order to build self-esteem and advance philanthropic initiatives. It is truly unfortunate that recent events have overshadowed the amazing work these women have been doing, but the goals of their organization have not changed. Through the years I've experienced a wide variety of inspiring stories. I've met women who used the pageant to help fund their education. I got to know winners like Miss Universe Leila Lopes who used the platform to bring so much positive attention to emerging countries like Angola. There are countless stories of real women working hard to impact social change. My entire career has been driven by my inspiration to celebrate women and their potential. I hope everyone can transcend this controversy so we don’t lose sight of that. As long as there is one woman standing there on that stage, I intend to be standing there beside her.

    A photo posted by @thejeanniemai on

    However, Jeannie Mai was set to hang on and support the contestants.

    Jeannie Mai told ET, “I support every single woman that is standing on that stage that understands what it’s like to be committed to getting to where they are right now. If this one man is going to make these comments it’s going to stop you from representing your family and what you believe in? No, not for me at least.”

    Y'all ready to show #Monday sup?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_q61B-DyPk

    Now, Jeannie Mai’s tone, and her intentions, have changed.

    Part of the statement from Jeannie Mai via Facebook read, “Let me be clear, I condemn the recent words of Mr. Trump, and find them immensely offensive. At the time I made my decision to remain part of the Miss USA pageant, I was under the impression that Mr. Trump would no longer be involved in the production of the show in any capacity whatsoever.”

    She continued, “In addition, given Mr. Trump’s ongoing antics, including his most recent episode today with the current Miss Universe, it is clear that Mr. Trump’s actions have and will continue to distract focus away from the real stars of the show — the women involved in the pageant.”

    She then added, “Therefore, I am respectfully withdrawing from my responsibilities and commitment as co-host of Miss USA.”

    Trump has attempted to clarify his statements and insist that they have been misrepresented, but he stands by them.

    What do you think? Is Jeannie Mai making the right decision or is she wrong in abandoning the women she claimed to support over an idealogical disagreement with Trump?

  • Lindsey Vonn Talks Life After Tiger

    Lindsey Vonn was out and about this past weekend and didn’t seem to be too heartbroken anymore over her breakup with Tiger Woods.

    On Saturday and Monday, Lindsey Vonn was at Wimbledon in England cheering on her two friends, Caroline Wozniacki and Roger Federer, as they played tennis.

    In an interview for USA Today Sports, Lindsey Vonn revealed what she loves about the game and why she likes to watch it.

    When asked what makes it so special, she said, “I love it. It’s one of my favorite sporting events to go to. It’s the whole experience and the atmosphere. It’s different. It’s very classic and elegant. You have your strawberries and cream and watch Roger [Federer] … I don’t know, it’s pretty perfect.”

    Lindsey Vonn also talked about her friendship with Caroline Wozniacki.

    She said, “I met her before on the golf tour. We text a lot. This is the first time that I’ve actually been able to watch her because I haven’t been at any tournaments since I got injured.”

    Lindsey Vonn explained a bond that all women in sports share.

    She said, “Females in sports, we have a lot in common. It’s nice to have a friend that understands the difficulties of being in the spotlight and training hard and competing.”

    And of course, she was asked about Tiger Woods and that whole ordeal.

    If you’ve been under a rock, Lindsey Vonn and Tiger Woods broke up after nearly three years. Many assumed that Tiger had been cheating since, you know, he has a history.

    In particular, rumors suggested he had an affair with the ex-wife of a fellow pro golfer, Amanda Boyd.

    However, he and Lindsey have both denied those allegations.

    In fact, in a statement to Golfweek, Tiger’s agent said, “I couldn’t deny this more vehemently. There is less than zero strand of truth to it. They are not even acquaintances.”

    That all seems to be behind Lindsey Vonn now. When asked how she was doing, she said, “I’m doing really well. I’m feeling good. I have a good support system around me and we ended on good terms. It just didn’t work. That happens: Two adults, sometimes, it just doesn’t work. But yes, we do (keep in touch).”

    What do you think? Are you glad Lindsey Vonn is moving on after her breakup?

  • Lindsey Vonn: Woods’ Agent Says Amanda Boyd Is Definitely NOT The Reason Tiger And Vonn Split

    Lindsey Vonn’s relationship with Tiger Woods lasted way longer than many people thought it would.

    However, when Lindsey Vonn announced that they were breaking up in May, rumors circulated that perhaps the relationship’s end was because of Tiger’s predicted behavior with the ladies.

    Amanda Boyd, in particular. She is the attractive ex-wife of fellow pro golfer, Jason Dufner.

    Lindsey Vonn posted the announcement to her Facebook page.

    In it, Lindsey Vonn stated, “After nearly three years together, Tiger and I have mutually decided to end our relationship. I will always cherish the memories that we’ve created together.”

    ✈️🇬🇧 Excited for a fun weekend!!

    She went on, “Unfortunately, we both lead incredibly hectic lives that force us to spend a majority of our time apart. I will always admire and respect Tiger. He and his beautiful family will always hold a special place in my heart.

    Lindsey Vonn’s statement just doesn’t have that ring of resentment that it likely would have if she had caught him cheating on her.

    And, Tiger Woods’ agent has cleared the air regarding any presumptions.

    Mark Steinberg emailed Page Six a statement on the rumor that Lindsey Vonn caught Tiger cheating, saying, “This is 100 percent false. Absolutely zero truth to the rumor.”

    Steinberg also told Golfweek, “I couldn’t deny this more vehemently. There is less than zero strand of truth to it. 100 percent false. 100 percent fabricated and zero credence. Absolutely, unequivocally untrue. They are not even acquaintances. It’s absolutely ridiculous.”

    I don’t know. It’s not “absolutely ridiculous.” I mean, Tiger did build himself quite the history.

    What do you think? Do you think Lindsey Vonn’s relationship with Tiger ended over Amanda Boyd or simply a busy schedule?

  • Amy Schumer Explains Why She Turned Down “The Daily Show” Gig

    Amy Schumer was offered the job to take over The Daily Show when Jon Stewart leaves.

    But, Amy Schumer said no. Why? Too many blazers. Well, okay, that’s not the entire reason.

    Amy Schumer revealed to Howard Stern on his Sirius XM show, saying she “hung out with Jon Stewart a little bit…[and] took a couple meetings.”

    Amy Schumer explained that “hang[ing] out” with Stewart meant, “We had a piece of pizza and talked about the possibility of me hosting.”

    Amy Schumer then laid out the vision she had when she thought about taking over The Daily Show.

    #InsideAmy starts now

    A photo posted by @amyschumer on

    She said, “I was kind of fantasizing about like, ‘Oh, my brother and my whole family can work there and everyone will get paid well and we’ll have this little commune’…and I just pictured all the fittings, like all the blazers I would have to wear. And I was like, ‘I don’t want to have to do that.’”

    Amy Schumer said she also believes that she can do much better that a gig on The Daily Show.

    We do not belong here

    She said, “Like, this way, ‘I’m secure and I know I’ll make this and I know I’ll have this job,’ but I’m like, ‘No, I’m going to bet on myself that I can do more.’”

    Also, Amy Schumer isn’t sure people would take her seriously as the host of The Daily Show.

    Yes I feel good!

    A photo posted by @amyschumer on

    She said, “I think if I heard that I was hosting The Daily Show, I would be like, ‘Oh, give me a f—ing break.’”

    Amy Schumer later added, “Trevor [Noah] will be so much better at it than I could have ever been.”

    What do you think? Do you think Amy Schumer would have made a good host for The Daily Show? Or do you agree with her reasoning?

  • Miss USA Pageant Will Be Aired On Reelz Channel

    The Miss USA pageant has been rescued and will air, after all.

    Since NBC and Univision both dropped the pageant and the backlash continues from Donald Trump’s comments on illegal immigrants, the fate of the Miss USA pageant has been hanging in the balance.

    The Miss USA pageant will still air on the original date, but they will have to find lots of new talent.

    All of the original listed performers have dropped out of the Miss USA pageant, including rapper Flo Rida, country singer Craig Wayne Boyd, and pop singer Natalie La Rose. In addition to that, all but one of the original judges and hosts have abandoned ship, including HGTV star Jonathan Scott, E! News anchor Terrence Jenkins.

    Also among those to say goodbye to the Miss USA pageant this year were TV host and former Miss Universe winner Zuleyka Rivera and Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith.

    In a statement from Reelz CEO Stan E. Hubbard, he said that the pageant and the women who compete in it “are an integral part of American tradition.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_q61B-DyPk

    He added, “As one of only a few independent networks, we decided to exercise our own voice and committed ourselves to bringing this pageant to American viewers everywhere.”

    The statement made no mention of Donald Trump.

    In an interview, Hubbard made it clear that Trump will not make any money from the Miss USA pageant.

    “I completely understand why millions of people were offended by what Donald Trump said. I think his comments were incredibly insensitive and wrong. I disagree with them completely and totally. I also believe this pageant is as nonpolitical” as an event can be.

    He added, “The point is that people who were offended want to make sure he’s (Trump) not going to profit from our decision,” and he insisted that won’t happen.

    What do you think about all the backlash that the Miss USA pageant has had to endure because of Donald Trump’s comments?

  • Lindsey Vonn: Tiger’s Agent Says Amanda Boyd Rumor Is “100 Percent False”

    Lindsey Vonn and Tiger Woods broke off their relationship after two long years back in May.

    I mean, no one really expected Tiger and Lindsey Vonn to last after Tiger’s history with the ladies. Especially for amounts of time measured in years.

    Lindsey Vonn and Tiger Woods cited busy schedules as the reason for their breakup, but some obviously speculated that it was Tiger Woods’ “busy schedule” and his rotating female companions that likely did them in.

    One in particular, Amanda Boyd, had some time in the spotlight of speculation. Amanda Boyd is the ex-wife of fellow pro golfer Jason Dufner. Reports from the likes of the National Enquirer spouted rumors of an affair that ended Lindsey Vonn and Tiger Woods’ relationship after the attractive brunette and her husband filed for divorce in April.

    A source for the National Enquirer said, “They’ve been having a steamy affair for several months. When Lindsey found out about their affair in the early spring, she hit the roof and kicked Tiger to the curb!”

    However, Tiger Woods’ agent, Mark Steinberg, vehemently denied the rumors to multiple outlets.

    For instance, in an email to the New York Post, he said, “This is 100 percent false. Absolutely zero truth to the rumor.”

    He drove the point home when speaking to Golfweek, saying, “I couldn’t deny this more vehemently. There is less than zero strand of truth to it. 100 percent false. 100 percent fabricated and zero credence. Absolutely, unequivocally untrue. They are not even acquaintances. It’s absolutely ridiculous.”

    What do you think about the rumors surrounding the end of Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn’s relationship?

  • Kate Gosselin: Not Sweating The Small Stuff Anymore?

    Kate Gosselin seems to be learning one of life’s great secrets: With age sometimes comes calm.

    That secret is coming out just in time for Kate Gosselin, who has rightly earned a reputation for being a terrifying, overbearing control freak.

    Kate Gosselin has been this way since we’ve known her, and some have suggested that her personality could be one of the many reasons that lead to her explosive divorce from Jon Gosselin.

    But, these days Kate Gosselin, who just turned 40, is taking it all in stride.

    On Tuesday’s episode of Kate Plus 8, Kate Gosselin showcased a less stressed version of her former self when planning and carrying out her 11-year-old sextuplets’ birthday party.

    Yep, a birthday party for six kids. It included a double slumber party. If there has ever been a stressful event, that would be it.

    But, Kate Gosselin said, “I am relaxing, chilling out. And I can tell that about myself. I kind of laugh at myself.”

    She added, “Things that used to really send me over the edge, now I’m just like, ‘Hey, whatever.’ I just can’t be spending my energy on the meltdown of the century every time something little happens.”

    So true. It’s too bad Kate Gosselin didn’t learn this years ago.

    Unfortunately, Kate Gosselin seemed to have gotten a little over her head in planning a “progressive” birthday party for her sextuplets. Her plans included skating, a pizza joint, and cake and ice cream at the hotel where she would be hosting a double boys/girls sleepover.

    Oh my goodness. I don’t think, okay, I know I couldn’t handle that!

    Even the new chill Kate Gosselin seemed daunted.

    She said, “I think I fooled myself into thinking that this was going to be a low-key party and it meant less work. Oh no, it wasn’t less work.”

    What do you think of Kate Gosselin’s demeanor of late? Have you noticed a difference?

  • Cheryl Burke Drops Out Of Co-Hosting Miss USA Pageant After Trump’s Remarks On Illegal Immigrants

    Cheryl Burke is stepping down from her co-hosting duties for the Miss USA pageant and she was the last to ditch.

    Cheryl Burke followed in the footsteps of others involved, like Thomas Roberts and co-hosts of the Univision telecast, Roselyn Sanchez and Cristian de la Fuente.

    On Monday, NBC, which co-owns the pageant with Trump, said it would cancel its Miss USA coverage and part ways with Trump in retaliation for remarks he made in his campaign kick-off speech.

    Shortly before that, Univision canceled its Spanish simulcast in protest of the same remarks.

    During Donald Trumps campaign speech, he stated, “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

    It's a wrap! Thank you @bootsybellows for showing me, the cast and the crew a great time. #exhausted #icandothat

    These remarks set off the above-mentioned firestorm, but Donald Trump is not one to back down.

    In a response to all of those protesting his statements in one way or another, like Cheryl Burke, Trump said, “People are pouring across our borders unabated. Public reports routinely state great amounts of crime are being committed by illegal immigrants. This must be stopped, and it must be stopped now.”

    Loved catching up with my bestie, @kymjohnson1! #familyforever #newbeginnings

    He continued, “If NBC is so weak and so foolish to not understand the serious illegal-immigration problem in the United States, coupled with the horrendous and unfair trade deals we are making with Mexico, then their contract-violating closure of Miss Universe/Miss USA will be determined in court.”

    He then took one last jab at the network, saying, “[NBC] will stand lying Brian Williams but won’t stand behind people that tell it like it is, as unpleasant as that may be.”

  • Jennifer Aniston Set To Costar With Julia Roberts, Kate Hudson In New Film

    Jennifer Aniston has signed on to do a movie with fellow female powerhouses Julia Roberts and Kate Hudson.

    The film, called Mother’s Day and starring Jennifer Aniston, will be directed by Gary Marshall and will follow along the same lines as his other holiday-themed films, Valentine’s Day and New Year’s Eve.

    Mother’s Day already looks to be a blockbuster with Jennifer Aniston, Julia Roberts, and Kate Hudson onboard. But, if the rumors are true about Jason Sudeikis joining the cast, it will really be great.

    Jennifer Aniston’s role in the movie is unclear, but she likely won’t be playing a mother of anyone older than 20.

    As the years go by, Jennifer Aniston, 46, appears ageless, but she recently said that she doesn’t mind ageing.

    Jennifer Aniston said, “You know I think if you take care of your skin and you eat well, I think ageing is amazing because you gain wisdom for every year lived. Ageing is wonderful!”

    Perhaps Jennifer Aniston isn’t just staying fit and healthy for herself. She insists that she is doing it for other women, as well.

    She said, “We’re going to feel good about ourselves if we see another woman who is 50 and rocking it. If society is telling you to sit it out after 40, you diminish yourself. Believe what you feel. If you feel crappy about yourself, it’s going to show.”

    Well, Jennifer Aniston definitely doesn’t feel crappy about herself, that’s for sure.

  • Alicia Silverstone: Her Failed Movie Career, Successful Theatre Life, And Her Quest To Change The World

    Alicia Silverstone will forever be Cher from Clueless in the minds of the masses. Or perhaps she will remain an eternal Aerosmith video girl to many.

    But, some know that Alicia Silverstone has a surprisingly successful career in theatre and has played some major parts in some serious plays.

    And, in spite of her seemingly failed movie career, Alicia Silversone is exceedingly happy.

    Alicia Silverstone recently revealed to The Guardian her feelings about starring it what seemed like highly sexual roles, like the Aerosmith videos and The Crush, when she was only a teenager.

    She said, “I didn’t feel uncomfortable. I was just being. I know The Crush was a very serious acting role for me and I fought hard to get it. I didn’t think of it as sexual at all. I didn’t feel like I was going out there and shaking my booty.”

    She added, “In the Aerosmith videos, when Marty [Callner], the director, and I talked about doing “Crazy”, the one with Liv Tyler, we plotted it out together. Right away I said, ‘I’m not going to strip. I’ll be the man.’”

    Alicia Silverstone also spoke of her brief movie career. She admitted that she didn’t even start out wanting to be in movies and when her career came full circle back to theatre, only then was she truely where she felt she wanted to be.

    Alicia Silverstone said, “I was so overwhelmed. I was just a theatre kid. I never wanted to be in movies or TV. There’s no support or schooling on what do you do when you suddenly found yourself famous as a young woman. It was just too much for me. So I decided I would use this to spotlight something that is very meaningful to me.”

    She added, “I went on a quest to change the world, to make things better – for children, for the earth, for animals. I wasn’t paying attention to my career, I was paying attention to something else. And then one day I went, ‘Wait, I want to act, too, what’s going on?’”

    Alicia Silverstone also said, “There’s a lot more to it that obviously is personal and private. But that’s where I’m at. I can happily have a husband and a child and a life, and I get to contribute in a really meaningful way to the world and I also get to be an actress. And that’s a wonderful thing to be.”

  • Olivia Culpo Is “Amazing” According to Nick Jonas

    Olivia Culpo and Nick Jonas continue to put their lives back together after their big split.

    Olivia Culpo began an outpouring of cryptic, melancholy, and sometimes inspirational messages on Instagram shortly after the news broke.

    For her part, Olivia Culpo seems to be in good spirits overall and looking at the situation positively.

    Now, Nick Jonas has spoken out about the breakup of his two-year relationship with Olivia Culpo.

    He added, “It’s been a crazy couple months and I wish the best for her in the future. It is tough, though.”

    Jonas had similar sentiments about Olivia Culpo to share with E! News, saying, “I wish the best for her in the future and we had a great two years.”

    Olivia Culpo and Nick Jonas dated for two years and their breakup seems amiable. However, that doesn’t mean that Nick Jonas is ready to hit the market as a free man yet.

    In fact, Nick Jonas is a busy guy and it may have been that busy schedule that played a part in destroying his relationship with Olivia Culpo.

    Jonas has been preparing to go on tour. He also has a part in Ryan Murphy’s Scream Queens and his Kingdom TV series is back on track.

    When would he ever have the time for a girlfriend? No wonder things didn’t work out so well with Olivia Culpo.

    What do you think will be next for Olivia Culpo as she recovers from their breakup?

    One project that Bella Thorne recently completed was a short, but important role in MTV’s upcoming TV adaptation of the Scream movies.

    During a Facebook Q&A, Bella Thorne accidentally let it slip that she dies in the first scene, a la Drew Barrymore.

    Bella Thorne then replied, “yes it is true. i will re-enact the famous scene of drew barrymore in the original series.”

    Bella Thorne said, “It just didn’t end up working out relocation-wise. I just couldn’t do it. I’m too young to relocate.”

    Scream is being filmed in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

    Bella Thorne added, “I love my mom and my brother. Although that sounds very immature, I’m still a kid at heart. I like being home in my bed and I can’t lose my brother just yet. We’re best friends.”

    Aw, that’s sweet.

    The clarity of perception makes reality look as it is

    Besides, Bella Thorne gets to join a short and illustrious list of actors who die in the opening scenes of Scream movies. Drew Barrymore, Jada Pinkett Smith, Mike Epps, and Kristen Bell all died before the movies ever got started.

    What do you think of Bella Thorne’s new role and her new place as one of the hottest young actors in Hollywood? Will you be watching Scream?
