  • Brandi Glanville: No More Drama For Ratings

    Brandi Glanville is throwing in the proverbial towel on her go-to strategy for keeping viewers.

    One of the most popular stars of Real House Wives of Beverly Hills, she has become famous for her unbelievable skill in making mountains out of molehills.

    But, those days are over, according to Glanville.

    Can Bravo keep RHWOBH viewers now that the drama will be significantly curbed without Brandi Glanville’s antics?

    Time will tell, but Brandi doesn’t seem stressed about it.

    Brandi Glanville finally made up with Lisa Vanderpump earlier this year, and seems determined to keep things civil between her and her Housewives co-stars.

    Glanville and Vanderpump had a huge fight last season after Brandi accused her former best friend (Vanderpump) of being disloyal. She was mad about Lisa’s friendship with Vanderpump Rules star Scheana Marie, who has said before that she had an affair with Glanville’s famous cheating ex, Eddie Cibrian.

    That falling out seemed like it would be really hard to overcome for the two of them, but apparently not too hard. Brandi Glanville reportedly invited Lisa Vanderpump and her husband, Ken Todd, to her housewarming party Friday night.

    A source said of the scene, “They approached Brandi and chatted with her very cordially. I wouldn’t say things were as good as they used to be, but fences seem to be mending.”

    Now that Brandi Glanville has a new outlook on life, will this stop her from insulting ex-husband Eddie Cibrian and his new(ish) wife, LeAnn Rimes? Probably not. Especially now that the couple, of LeAnn & Eddie fame, seem to be ready to start a family.

    Maybe the Real Housewives drama is calming, but I can’t help but feel like the real life drama might just be getting started.

    What do you think? Can Brandi Glanville stay peaceful with her co-stars or will she give up and fall back into her old habits?

  • Chloe Moretz Admits She Doesn’t Know What’s Cool

    Chloe Moretz is stealing hearts with her new film, If I Stay, in which she plays a teenager who literally has to choose between life and death.

    The movie is targeted at teenagers and the like, basically any who love to cry. But, just because Chloe Moretz is 17, that doesn’t mean she knows all about what other teenagers are into right now.

    When asked what was “on her radar” right now, Chloe Moretz responded,

    “Honestly I am the worst at pop culture. I think I’m really abreast of pop culture and then it turns out I’m not. I meet 13-year-olds and they’re talking in a lingo I totally don’t understand.”

    She admitted that she has “literally no idea” what is cool right now.

    But, the young actress is doing something that many other 17-year-olds are doing. That would be thinking about college, but she’s not running off right after graduation!

    Chloe Moretz said, “I think I’m going to take two years off to see what it’s like and then go to school for film editing and cinematography.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfZiapPae1k

    “I’d probably say I’ve had my job since I was 5 years old, and I’ve been able to hone it and create a career,” she added of her qualifications for college.

    Chloe Moretz continued, “I think colleges look for people like that, who have had a passion for a long time or have been able to make themselves incredibly diligent and grounded when most people can’t do that at a young age.”

    That is true. It seems especially hard for young people in Hollywood to be grounded. Hopefully she keeps that part of her character as she continues to hone her skill and build what will obviously be an exceedingly successful career.

    Good luck to Chloe Moretz as she travels further down the road!

  • Julianne Hough Encouraged By Brother, Derek

    Julianne Hough is officially returning to Dancing with the Stars for season 19.

    The show will begin next month and will present 26-year-old Hough seated at the judges table with Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli.

    Julianne Hough is a two-time season champ on DWTS, but she is ready to take on the role of judge.

    She has been a guest judge a couple of times, but feels that now is the time to make it more permanent.

    So just because she knows what the dancers are going through, does that mean she’ll take it easy on them? Not really, she says.

    “My role is to encourage and be supportive, and to also be candid and honest and try not to beat around the bush, to be too politically correct,” Hough said. “I want to give critiques so they can improve. I’m not there to be harsh or cause a controversy. I won’t be mean or malicious. That’s not who I am. That’s not my role at all.”

    Her brother, dancer Derek Hough, gave his approval of her new role.

    Julianne Hough said of her brother’s reaction, “He texted me today just to say, ‘Hey, congrats babe! Saw that it’s all out now…’ ”

    She and her brother have a very close relationship, but when asked if she would have a hard time judging her brother, she said it wouldn’t be hard. In fact, the judging is more about the partnership and how well the featured celebrities do.

    “Derek has been known to be very good with his partnerships,” Hough says. “But it’s not about my brother, nor is it about Cheryl or Mark. It’s about the partnership and the celebrity who is dancing.”

    Julianne Hough also said, “It’s all supportive. It’s all in good fun. At the end of the day, we’re all pretty lucky we get to do the show. It’s not a have-to or a super competitive thing where it’s life or death. This is fun.”

    Derek Hough will return for the 19th season, along with Cheryl Burke, Mark Ballas, Karina Smirnoff and Tony Dovolani.

    Congrats to Julianne Hough on her new job as judge!

  • LeAnn And Eddie: Ready To Start A Family?

    LeAnn And Eddie: Ready To Start A Family?

    Are LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian getting ready to start a family of their own?

    If their discussions on the most recent episode of LeAnn & Eddie are to be read into, then the answer could be sooner rather than later!

    The couple wasn’t planning on having kids anytime soon, but LeAnn began wondering if she could have the same problems as her mother.

    Her mother said, “You’re 31 years old and you don’t want to wait too (long) to get started. You know, I had the problems having you, taking 12 years, so you never know if it could be hereditary for you.”

    LeAnn Rimes was quite surprised.

    “I knew my mom had difficulty having me, but I never really knew how difficult it was. Eddie and I have talked about waiting a little bit longer before we try to have kids,” the country singer admitted during an interview on the show.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVu2eod_WAE

    She continued, “It had never popped into my head that maybe I will have the same trouble that she did. Given my mom’s history, it does make you wonder if I waited too long. If I find out I can’t have kids, that will be really tough.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsbkyI6qfnw

    LeAnn visited a doctor to ease her mind, but things seemed to get tense (as they tend to do on reality TV) as they couple discussed her worries. She confronted Eddie with the possibility that she wouldn’t be able to have his child naturally.

    Being who he is, he suggested taking a class and getting her mind off of her worries.

    “Don’t be an ass,” she tells him.

    “It truly hurts when you feel like you and your husband are not on the same page for something that is so important. I know we were not planning on having a child right now, but I also do not want to miss what possibly could be my only opportunity to have a child naturally.”

    Cibrian later redeemed himself on camera during a private interview segment, saying,

    “I mean, is there ever a perfect time? I know I do want to have a child with LeAnn and if this is a decision we have to make right now because of her fertility then I say we should just do it.”

    Sounds like the show is building up to the Hollywood ratings gold standard of adding a bump, then a baby.

    Good luck to the stars of LeAnn & Eddie as they move forward in their decision.

  • The Emmys: Who Is Host Seth Meyers Rooting For?

    The Emmy Awards are coming on Monday night and host Seth Meyers is still in preparation mode.

    The TV veteran and funnyman is getting ready for his Emmys hosting duties and trying to shake off those butterflies.

    “Butterflies tend to go away with the first laugh,” he says, “so you try to make that happen as early as you can.”

    He says he will adhere to the long-standing Emmys tradition of having an extended comedy segment at the beginning. The reason they do that is very understandable.

    “The longer the night goes, the less joy there is in the room, because by then a number of people have lost.”

    Clever thinking, Emmys producers.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nu10Iuav2vo

    Meyers has a fun-filled evening planned and indicated that there would be room for flexibility, if needed.

    He is no tenderfoot when it comes to lighting up the screen.

    We all remember his great co-hosting gig on the Weekend Update segments of Saturday Night Live. He now sits in the coveted Late Night chair and is killing it.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLQg6U6jUk0

    So, who is Set Meyers rooting for at this year’s Emmys?

    Weekend Update co-host Amy Poehler, of course!

    Poehler is up for Best Actress for her role as Leslie Knope on Parks and Recreation. This is her 11th nomination, but she has never won.

    “But here’s the good news,” said Meyers, “No matter which way it goes, I’m VERY confident she’s going to be OK.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rks-0naOjKk

    Seth Meyers said about that encouraging statement, “I don’t want anyone to think I’m this incredibly selfless person,” he added with a laugh. “The hard part is not when friends of mine lose an award, but when I lose. I like to remind them that they’re all winners, whereas, when I lose, I really feel like a loser!”

    That could be said of many things in life, couldn’t it? Good luck to Seth Meyers and Amy Poehler!

  • James Foley’s Siblings: More Should Have Been Done

    James Foley’s brother, Michael, and his sister, Katie, are speaking out on the beheading of their brother and what the US could have done differently. They are hoping that their loss could prompt changes in policy that could help those that are still in ISIS (also known as ISIL) custody.

    The siblings spoke with Katie Couric about the incident and how it has affected their lives. They also talked about how the US should deal with terrorists.

    Their brother, James Foley, was beheaded in an incident that took place this past week and was seen in a video that shocked the world. Foley, 40, was one of at least three Americans that were kidnapped and held by ISIS terrorists. They sent a letter to Foley’s family earlier in August saying that he would be killed unless they were paid $100 million dollars.

    However, since the US doesn’t negotiate with terrorists, he was killed in a cruel and barbaric manner.

    They are now threatening to hand down the same fate to Foley’s fellow journalist and captive, Steven Sotloff. Their anger is partly due to US air attacks on ISIS forces in Iraq.

    James Foley’s siblings are suggesting that the policy of non-negotiation be changed to save the lives of the others. Some European countries have paid to have captives freed, but not the US.

    “I really, really hope that in some way Jim’s death pushes us to take another look at our approach, our policy, to terrorists and hostage negotiations and rethink that,” Michael Foley, 38, said. “Because if the United States is doing it one way and Europe is doing it another way, by definition it won’t work.”

    “The U.S. could have done more on behalf of the western and American hostages over there and still… you know, dealt with the broader, worldwide issues. Other nations have done that. And that’s been a source of frustration for me.”

    He continued, “Take the money aside, there’s more that could have been done directly on Jim’s behalf and I really hope that with respect to Steven, they take some action quickly.”

    Michael Foley suggested that there could be a trade negotiation or another means by which money wouldn’t even have to change hands. Could this kind of thing work? It seemed to with the controversial Bowe Bergdahl trade earlier this year, but some say we are still waiting to see the consequences of that action.

    “There is things that can be done. We are sitting on prisoners for example in Guantanamo. It doesn’t have to be financial. There’s ways to do it… I just feel strongly that more can be done, moving forward,” Michael Foley said.

    Will the pleas of James Foley’s siblings have any weight in pushing for changes in our terrorist negotiation policy? Only time will tell.

  • Ronda Rousey Nervous About Fight With Gina Carano?

    Ronda Rousey probably doesn’t shake in her boots too terribly often, but when she speaks of her next fight, things are a little different. Gina Carano will be her opponent, and according to Rousey, she will be a formidable one.

    “Gina is the worst style matchup for me possible,” Rousey said. “She’s the only girl that I feel like has the best feeling and the best sense of distance.”

    She continued, “There are very few women that have had one-punch knockout power. There are other girls that they overwhelm the other person. They get TKOs and stuff like that. But Gina has one-punch knockout power, and that’s the kind of person that I have to be the most cautious of. That’s the style that’s the worst for me, and ever since the beginning, I’ve been positive that Gina is the worst style matchup for me.”

    Gina Carano is a former Strikeforce women’s featherweight title contender who once served as the face of the female side of MMA. She was quite successful until her devastating loss to Christiane Justino.

    Now she has her eyes on The Expenables 3 star.

    Does that make Rousey nervous? It kind of seems to…

    She said of her future opponent, “The feeling of distance and timing and feeling and all that, that stuff doesn’t go away if you take time off. Those things are always with you. That’s your bicycle.”

    She added, “And I’m sure Gina is 100 percent serious about it. She is not going to start training once the fight is announced. She’s already been training for months and months and months. I think she’s already started quite a while ago, and she only has me in mind, and so I expect that she’s going to be extremely prepared and a very dangerous opponent despite what other people would like to speculate.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4-fmuMuaU0

    I guess we shall see how Ronda Rousey holds up against Gina Carano soon!

  • Kim Kardashian Banned From Brody Jenner’s Party

    Kim Kardashian West was reportedly banned from attending the birthday party of her step-brother, Brody Jenner.

    She wasn’t alone in the shadows, however, as her mother, Kris Jenner, was also not welcome.

    Brody celebrated turning 31 with other family members at the Beverly Hills Hotel Polo Lounge yesterday. Those invited include his mom and dad, Linda Thompson and Bruce Jenner, his brother, Brandon, and his sisters, Kendall and Kylie.

    A source close to the mess family says,

    “His girlfriend, Kaitlynn Carter, his dad Bruce, his mom Linda Thompson, brother Brandon, and of course younger sisters Kendall and Kylie were there. Kim, and his step-mom, Kris Jenner, were noticeably absent,”

    The source continued, “But there was never any thought to even invite Kim [Kardashian]. Publicly the two will say there is no feud, but that is all for keeping up the appearance of having a big extended family for the sake of the E! reality show.”

    Another source said of the pair, “Brody never sees Kim except when they are filming, and the two aren’t even considered friends.”

    Ouch.

    This non-existent feud seems to have been brewing for some time. We all know it. The signs were there months ago, right?

    Brody was not in attendance at Kim Kardashian’s star-studded wedding to babby daddy Kanye West in Florence, Italy back in May.

    The reason? Reportedly, Kim refused to invite Brody Jenner’s girlfriend, Kaitlynn Carter, to the lavish ceremony.

    He did, however, attend the wedding of Kim Kardashian’s ex, Reggie Bush, in July.

    That’s strange. He said he didn’t attend because he doesn’t know Kanye West at all and he had to work, anyway.

    What do you think? Is their relationship all for show, literally? I guess only time will tell how the rocky relationship between Kim Kardashian and Brody Jenner will affect the show.

  • Tina Fey’s New Show Is Sure To Be Awesome

    Tina Fey is working on a new show called Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Tina Fey fans everywhere are waiting with bated breath. If even a premiere date would be set, we could relax a little.

    Fey created the new series with Robert Carlock. Tristram Shapeero is directing, and if you needed any more proof that Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt will be a huge hit, consider his resume.

    Shapeero is responsible for Community, Happy Endings and Parks and Recreation.

    The show follows the life and antics of Kimmy Schmidt, played by the amazing Ellie Kemper, who has broken away from a cult and is doing a press tour in New York.

    After the tour, she decides to stay in New York.

    With just a backpack, sneakers, some library books, and a little cash, she sets out to begin life anew.

    She becomes a nanny to a rich woman on the Upper East Side who is played by Tina Fey’s 30 Rock co-star, Jane Krakowski. Hilarity is sure to ensue with this kind of comedic star power!

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

    30 Rock‘s Titus Burgess plays Titus, a struggling actor who rents a room to Kimmy. In 30 Rock, he was D’Fwan and appeared primarily in the Queen of Jordan episodes opposite Sherri Shepherd as Angie Jordan.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FB6i5xDK6So

    Those were so great.

    So can Tina Fey restore the magic and success she found on Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock? I guess we will see, but I am pretty certain that she will.

    The show will air on NBC and hopefully they will release a premiere date soon so we can all mark our calendars.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVh7KJW0cFU

    Good luck to Tina Fey and her amazing cast on the new show, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt! Not that she needs it…

  • Ashley Tisdale: In Deal With “The Kennedys” Producer

    Ashley Tisdale has signed with The Kennedys producer, Asylum Entertainment, to create and develop new projects aimed at teens and families.

    Her production company, Blondie Girl Productions, has signed a multi-year deal with Asylum. Blondie Girl, which boasts Ashley Tisdale’s sister, Jennifer, as Vice President of Development and Production, has already found great success.

    They are responsible for ABC Family’s Young and Hungry comedy and the Disney Channel film Cloud 9, as well as Bravo’s Miss Advised and E!’s Inner Circle.

    Asylum has done well in itself with shows like ESPN’s 30 for 30, Beverly Hills Pawn, and the incredibly popular and Emmy-winning miniseries, The Kennedys.

    If the above named shows are any sign of Jennifer and Ashley Tisdale’s talents, then Asylum has made a smart choice in signing a deal with Blondie Girl Productions. Asylum Entertainment joined under the Legendary Television and Digital Media umbrella in December 2013.

    “We are excited to work with Ashley and Jennifer to develop television that appeals to a broader, pop-culture-savvy audience,” said Steve Michaels, president and CEO of Asylum.

    He added, “Connecting Asylum and the Blondie Girls team is a great example of the diverse development deals we are striving to create now that we are working with Legendary.”

    Ashley Tisdale and Blondie Girl Productions are really excited about their new venture, as well. The High School Musical star is all grown up!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPiNo89bPEg

    Ashley Tisdale said of her new direction, “We are so incredibly excited for this partnership with Asylum and Legendary Entertainment and know this is a perfect fit for us at Blondie Girl as we continue to develop new and exciting content with this amazing team.”

    The very best of luck to Ashley Tisdale and Blondie Girl Productions as they move forward in their new venture! I can’t wait to see what they come up with.

  • Tamra Barney: Will Eddie Leave Over Plastic Surgery?

    Tamra Barney seems to have an obsession with plastic surgery.

    The Real Housewives of Orange County star has had lots of work done, including many indulgences in Botox.

    However, her husband seems to be fed up with it all.

    Eddie Judge likes a natural look, according to a source close to Tamra Barney‘s husband.

    “It’s absolutely ridiculous that Tamra has had so much Botox and cosmetic fillers work done to her face. She looks like a former shell of the beautiful lady that she used to be. Eddie just can’t understand her need to constantly go to the plastic surgeon.”

    The source continued, “And it’s become a major issue between them. Tamra does receive a discount on the procedures, but it’s still very expensive. More importantly, Eddie prefers the natural look, and just wishes Tamra would stop. Yet, she refuses.”

    Apparently, Eddie Judge is so fed up with Tamra Barney’s antics that he refused to make an appearance on the highly publicized reunion show.

    “Eddie was invited to go to the reunion, but refused,” a source revealed. “And Tamra was extremely upset about it.”

    “For Eddie, however, there was nothing to gain by going and it would have been a waste of his time.”

    The source said of Tamra Barney, “All of the over-the-top drama, including from his own wife, was just wearing on his nerves.”

    Even extra money couldn’t entice Eddie Judge to join his wife on the show. That’s surprising.

    “Bravo even offered to pay Eddie extra money to go, but that still couldn’t entice him. There are no contractual obligations for him to be a part of the reunion,” the source said.

    So, can their marriage be saved? Will Tamra Barney have to finally give up the Botox and grow old with her husband naturally? I guess we shall see…

  • Miranda Lambert Debuts Cute “Platinum” Hair

    Miranda Lambert Debuts Cute “Platinum” Hair

    Miranda Lambert debuted a new platinum bob this week after rocking an already shortened look for a while.

    The shorter cut and platinum color give her a bit of an edgier look, which would be taking a cue from the direction of her latest music offerings.

    It seems like shorter is better for many stars these days and Miranda Lambert is no exception!

    She looks great and the cut is a super cute addition to the list of changes this girl has gone through recently.

    We love it, and think the cut is sure to catch on.

    Miranda Lambert debuted a new figure at last year’s CMA awards ceremony to rants and raves across the nation.

    She said of her weight loss, “I’m going to be 30 in like four days, so I’m like, ‘I need to get ahead of this thing!’” she said. “They say when you hit 30 it doesn’t get easier.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJf66lZ_Shg

    That is so true. What did she do? According to her, the secret is working out, drinking juice, and “running around”.

    Of course, she doesn’t aspire to be a Barbie. Lambert said of her transformation, “I don’t care about being stick-thin. I don’t want stuff to jiggle. Really skinny actresses make me hungry,” she said.

    She continued, “I see them and think, Honey, you need to eat! I’m lucky I don’t have to live like that. I feel my best when I’m a toned, not flabby, size 8. Women come up to me and say, ‘You’re beautiful and confident,’ and that makes me feel I can be, too.”

    With the great new figure and a new cute haircut and color, Miranda Lambert is an inspiration to change things up a bit. Maybe some of us need to get out of the summer rut a little and try something new.

    What do you think about Miranda Lambert’s new ‘do?

  • Mega Millions Jackpot: What Would You Do?

    The Mega Millions jackpot has hit an astounding high at $180 million dollars.

    However, the odds are not in your favor. As the number goes up, so do lottery ticket sales. The Mega Millions jackpot has not had a winner for 15 straight drawings and that fact has garnered a lot of attention, even from some who don’t usually play the lottery.

    This the second longest streak with no winner in 2014. The first started back in December of 2013 and ran 21 drawings before giving away a $400 million jackpot on March 18th, 2014.

    If no one wins this $180 million Mega Millions jackpot, the count is expected to roll to $190 million.

    Wow.

    Was it you? Probably not.

    So, what are the chances of you winning the $180 million Mega Millions jackpot?

    There are reportedly 258,890,850 possible combinations, so the chances of hitting all six numbers are not great, but it’s worth a try to some.

    What happens is this: Tickets are bought for $1 a piece. You choose five numbers from among your lucky ones, your kids’ birthdates, your address, your anniversary, or wherever else you may pull them from. You can also have the machine do a quick pick, where it randomly picks numbers for you.

    Then you choose a megaball number between one and 15. After that, you cross your fingers.

    Because…

    If you win the $180 million, you can choose the annuity option which will pay out the entire amount (minus Uncle Sam’s cut) annually over 30 years. If you do the cash option, you get a lump sum of $107 million.

    If you only match the first five numbers and not that mega ball, you still get to pocket a pretty $1 million. Not too bad! I wouldn’t complain.

    This begs the eternal question:

    What would you do with $180 million dollars if you won the Mega Millions jackpot?

  • Ferguson Cop Reportedly Beaten By Michael Brown

    The Ferguson Cop that shot Michael Brown, Darren Wilson, was reportedly beaten by Brown so severely that he had broken bones in his face.

    There was also an alleged struggle for the officer’s gun that led to the final altercation that took Brown’s life.

    As details emerge from the August 9th shooting of Michael Brown by the Ferguson Cop, supporters on both sides of the situation have shown their support for who they believe was not at fault in the unfortunate situation.

    Many believe the story that Michael Brown was surrendering with his hands in the air when Wilson fired on him. They believe that the sole reason for his death is the color of his skin.

    However, there are a growing number of those who say the details that continue to come out point to Michael Brown as the one at fault for the incident. They think that since Brown reportedly began a fight with the Ferguson Cop by trying to get his gun and beating him severely. He then allegedly charged the officer when Wilson ordered Brown to freeze, causing his own death.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q48Yi_wooX4

    Those supporters, few in number, but growing, have found several ways to stand by the Ferguson cop.

    One way they have shown support is a funding page at GoFundMe.com for Darren Wilson and his family.

    The site has raised almost $300,000 for Officer Wilson and his family’s financial needs, protection costs, and upcoming legal costs.

    There are also a few very prolific Facebook pages in support of the Ferguson cop.

    Post by Support Darren Wilson.

    The founder of one such page said,

    “I put myself into that family’s shoes. I would want to know that not everybody hated me for doing my job.”

    People are also showing support by leaving blue lights on outside their homes to stand silently with Officer Wilson. They are also protesting and rallying in the midst of all the chaos in Ferguson.

    Post by Support Darren Wilson.

    What do you think? With all the information that comes out day by day, is it hard to tell who is at fault here?

  • Kelly Ripa Makes Ice Bucket Challenge Look Good

    Kelly Ripa is among many of the stars that have been seen on video doing the ice bucket challenge.

    She and husband Mark Consuelos dumped ice water on their heads just like everyone else. However, there was one thing that was noticeably different from many other ice bucket challenge videos.

    Kelly Ripa is obviously ripped! The woman has had three kids and is 43 years young. How does she look like that?

    Her trainer, Anna Kaiser of AKT in Motion, revealed Ripa’s secret.

    “She works out four to five days per week for 90 minutes per session. Her work ethic is more insane than anyone I’ve ever met!” Kaiser spilled.

    She added, “It’s really every trainer’s dream for their client to want it as badly as you want it for them, and she really puts in the work. She doesn’t expect instant results yet still is so focused, committed, and intense about her fitness.”

    Yes, Kelly Ripa is incredibly fit, but what people can’t stop talking about, in particular, are those abs! I mean, come on!

    “The first rule is that you’re not going to get abs by doing a bunch of crunches. If you want to see your abs, you have to lose fat. I want to be sure there are no misconceptions that specific abs exercises will give you abs! I work with the core,” Kaiser said about Kelly Ripa’s workout.

    She also said, “Think about your abs and back working together to support your spine—that will give you an amazing physique! If one is stronger than the other, you will deal with instability and one overcompensating for the other. Many of the best core exercises all derive from planks. Think of different variations!”

    Well, that gives us something to think about. If you want Kelly Ripa’s abs, you’ve got a lot of work to do!

  • Mariah Carey: Split With Cannon Over His Big Mouth?

    Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are the latest celebrity couple to throw in the matrimonial towel.

    The couple was married back in 2008 in the Bahamas after only dating for a few weeks. They have since celebrated a yearly vow renewal.

    Mariah Carey and Cannon celebrated their first vow renewal in The Maldives in 2009. Their second was at their Beverly Hills home in 2010.

    The third was at the hospital where Carey gave birth to their twins, affectionately know to the world as “dem babies”, in 2011. Then there was Paris at the top of the Eiffel Tower in 2012, and finally Disneyland in 2013.

    Curiously, no vow renewal for 2014….

    Now the couple is said to have been living apart in New York since May, with Cannon reportedly bunking in hotels.

    So what caused the end to one of the most…interesting…relationships in pop culture?

    TMZ reports that the beginning of the end was when Nick Cannon appeared on Big Boy’s radio show and, to Mariah Carey’s horror, revealed that he had slept with Kim Kardashian.

    Then, there was his appearance on Howard Stern’s show wherein he told the world that Mariah Carey wouldn’t sleep with him until they were married.

    That would do it. Doesn’t Nick know when to keep his mouth shut? Marriage 101: Don’t talk to the world about you and your wife’s bedroom habits. That’s a huge no-no.

    Apparently, this split is no big surprise to some people.

    A source close to Mariah Carey said, “They have been living apart for a while. This is not all of a sudden.”

    The source continued, “There have been issues between them for a while. They are not getting along. She wants to end it and it has been in the works for months, which is why her house in the Bahamas and the house in Bel-Air are on the market.”

    Will Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon be able to work things out before Vow Renewal 2015 or are they done for good?

  • Ferguson Cop Reportedly Beaten Before Firing Gun

    The Ferguson cop was beaten to the point of broken bones, according to recent reports.

    New details of the altercation that took place on the streets of Ferguson, Missouri on August 9th seem to come to light each day. The investigation continues, but the tensions are still running high with accusations on both sides of the table.

    On Wednesday, new reports stated that Darren Wilson, the accused policeman, suffered severe facial injuries, including an eye socket fracture, and was nearly beaten unconscious by Michael Brown before the confrontation that ended Brown’s life.

    A source close to the situation reported to Fox News that “the Assistant (Police) Chief took him to the hospital, his face all swollen on one side.” He continued, “He was beaten very severely.”

    This source states that the facts of the case are this: Wilson was coming off of another call in a nearby neighborhood when he stopped to tell Michael Brown and his friend to stop walking in the middle of the street.

    “They ignored him and the officer started to get out of the car to tell them to move,” the source said of Ferguson cop Darren Wilson. “They shoved him right back in, that’s when Michael Brown leans in and starts beating Officer Wilson in the head and the face.”

    And that’s when the alleged struggle for Wilson’s gun took place and it was fired somehow in the midst of that struggle. It’s still not clear who pulled the trigger or if it went off accidentally.

    Brown then walked away, but as Darren Wilson stepped out and ordered Michael Brown to freeze, Brown allegedly put his hands up and said, “What, you’re going to shoot me?”

    He then charged the Ferguson cop, who fired at Brown with one of those shots being fatal.

    Wilson is “traumatized, scared for his life and his family, injured and terrified” that a grand jury will “make some kind of example out of him,” the source said.

    The anguish and tension that this case has caused for the Ferguson cop, the city of Ferguson, and all American citizens is beyond what anyone could have imagined. Hopefully those involved can find closure after all of this mess is over.

  • Erin Andrews Still Plagued By Sherman Interview

    Erin Andrews says she still thinks about that severely awkward (and later, viral) interview from January.

    That “interview” had everyone talking, and laughing, about Richard Sherman for days, but Erin Andrews is still bothered by one aspect of the whole fiasco.

    She said she was struggling to think of a follow up question when he started ranting. Sherman yelled that he is “the best corner in the game” and began a verbal lashing of Michael Crabtree of the San Francisco 49ers.

    “When he started going off, I was able to quickly think to myself, ‘Oh God, this is big because no athletes do this,’” she said.

    “We want them to do this, and the president of Fox Sports said it perfectly when we were flying back to Los Angeles that night. He just said, ‘This is why we do those interviews. We hope for something like this.’”

    Well, she hoped for it and she got it! Erin Andrews asked him to elaborate on who was talking about him, but just got, “Crabtree!”, then more ranting.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQdewVVsUE4

    “Oh God, I better have a really good follow-up question or I’m gonna be crucified.” Andrews said of what was going through her mind.

    That’s where she failed, according to many. Erin Andrews says throwing Joe Buck into the situation is her big regret from that interview.

    “If anything, I’m upset about that interview [because of] the way I threw to Joe Buck,” she said.

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

    “I had my next question ready, I was getting ready to get into it, but I know Fox’s producers were looking out for me. … I was getting ready to ask the next question, and they just said, ‘Get it to Joe, get it to Joe,’ and if anything, I think I made them look bad by going, ‘Uh, let’s send it to Joe’,”

    Andrews continued, “That was just kind of my surprised, jerky, idiot way of doing that, and that’s what I’m upset about from that interview — myself. Any other thing about it, I thought it was awesome.”

    Not that Erin Andrews needs to be worrying about that interview so much now that she in enjoying a significant and controversial career boost.

    Good luck to Erin Andrews on her new gig!

  • Meagan Good Doesn’t Bleach Her Skin, So Quit Asking

    Meagan Good does not bleach her skin.

    No way. Not ever. Don’t even ask.

    Meagan Good has had to do what most people shouldn’t ever have to do. She has had to take to the internet to debunk rumors that she has altered herself, by weird chemical means, to appear to be something she isn’t.

    It’s weird that a strong, confident woman like Meagan Good would be accused of something so petty.

    However, that is just the world we live in.

    Good posted this baby photo on Instagram to prove to nay-sayers that she was born with light skin.

    The caption reluctantly explains that she hasn’t changed her skin. Meagan Good was just born with lighter skin.

    She says of the photo, “I can’t believe I’m actually going to address this nonsense lol … Buuuut I have young women who follow me – so I think its important to give clarity because I believe that black and every other color is beautiful .. This is for those who believe that I would actually bleach my face and entire body to try to be lighter skin.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tEEMiGHEG8

    Meagan Good continued, “My skin looks various different ways for various reasons – from lighting to makeup ..style of photography or something as simple as weather and what coast on working on at any given time…This is my complexion-the one I was born with… I tend to get lighter and darker depending upon how much sun I do or don’t get.”

    Of course. Don’t we all? Why do we do this to each other?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwqpSe2y1JM

    She goes on to say that, as she gets older, she is going to make more of an effort to protect her skin when going out in the sun, etc.

    Great advice from Meagan Good, but given under unfortunate circumstances.

  • Blue Ivy To Be Taken Back By Her Surrogate Mother?

    Blue Ivy was obviously born to Beyonce and Jay-Z. I mean, the world fawned over Beyonce’s baby bump for months as we awaited the new heir to the royal throne of Carter.

    While there was a minute of conspiracy theory when Beyonce appeared to have a collapsible belly in one video, that didn’t last long since Beyonce quickly began to post bare-belly pics.

    Blue Ivy will, of course, always be the daughter of Beyonce and Jay-Z, but there is a woman out there who has been making claims that she carried and gave birth to Blue Ivy.

    Now the woman, Tina Seals, says in a suit she filed against Beyonce, that she wants Blue Ivy back.

    Weird.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9tb8hsRwP4

    What’s even weirder is the fact that Tina Seals has a history of making bogus surrogate mom claims in court against celebrities. In fact, Seals has little North West and Prince George on the list of babies she has tried to claim, but of course Kim, Kanye, and the Duke and Duchess have nothing to worry about. Just like Beyonce, Jay-Z, and Blue Ivy have nothing to worry about.

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

    However, Matrimonial Family Expert Leslie Barbara says that there is a way in which a surrogate could come back and sue for rights to the baby she carried for someone else.

    In New York, paid surrogacy is illegal, but unpaid surrogacy is legal. So, if Tina Seals could prove that Beyonce and Jay-Z paid her for her services (which they didn’t, of course, it’s just an example), thereby breaking the law, she could actually gain visitation rights.

    Blue Ivy is safe, though. There are plenty of medical documents proving that Blue Ivy is made of Beyonce and Jay-Z, besides the fact that the resemblance is super-strong!

    I hope Tina Seals can get the help she needs and will leave Blue Ivy alone.
