  • Lamar Odom’s Relationship With Khloe Kardashian Stuck In Limbo

    Just days from now, Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian’s marriage will be officially over as only a judge’s signature is missing from their legal document.

    Despite the divorce, it seems that the two have explicitly expressed their desire to reunite with each other. However, like most Hollywood relationships, theirs will forever be in limbo.

    The two Hollywood celebs called it quits on December 2013 after Odom confessed on having an affair. Not to mention the drug use that destroyed not only their marriage but also Odom’s NBA career.

    Lamar in particular, reportedly sought advice from Khloe’s “dad”, Caitlyn Jenner. His crying and the pleading on the phone was sadly met with discouragement from Jenner who told Lamar that “like Bruce Jenner is dead, so is his marriage to Khloe.”

    No official statements have come from Odom regarding their official divorce, but there were sightings of him partying at the Las Vegas strip club Crazy Horse 3 on Friday. It wasn’t, however, not a wild night as he only chugged on water during the evening.

    Khloe on the other hand, was also lamenting the absence of her former paramour. “I talked to Lamar this morning. I talk to Lamar as often as I can, which is inconsistent, but not on my terms,” she said.

    Amidst the heartbreaking split, Khloe doesn’t have any grudges on Odom. On the contrary, the Hollywood star expressed that she misses Lamar every day.

    “He was my husband, and I still wish he was, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. There’s nothing I can do,” Khloe added.

    Alas, there is nothing the two celebrities can do. Lamar’s efforts to seek help from his lover’s father was for naught. And Khloe herself was missing the idea of Lamar as a husband but his inconsistency and vices were too much for her to take.

  • Jennifer Garner & Ben Affleck Showing Togetherness Amid Impending Divorce

    It seems that the former power couple, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, want little to do with paperwork and would rather focus on spending quality time with the family.

    The duo, amidst their admission of a divorce, were spotted in Atlanta, Georgia where Garner is currently filming her next film Miracles From Heaven. Garner and her hubby were frolicking around in a weekend school fair with their three children, three-year-old Samuel, six-year-old Seraphina, and nine-year-old Violet.

    From a bystander’s perspective, it was impossible to tell that they were separated, as the couple were still wearing their wedding rings and were having a great family day.

    The co-stars of Daredevil were one of the standard bearers for perfect Hollywood marriages for a decade. Beautiful, talented, no drama, it looked like their marriage could last for 50 years.

    However, little did the public know that the couple were not immune to long-time marriage blues. Garner and Affleck were reportedly undergoing couples therapy for about two years now.

    The media-reclusive former couple surprisingly announced their decision for a divorce last month.

    “After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce,” Garner and Affleck said in a joint statement. “We go forward with love and friendship for one another and a commitment to co-parenting our children whose privacy we ask to be respected during this difficult time.”

    The statement was issued a day after their 10-year wedding anniversary and it seems to be their last regarding their relationship.

    Reports also surfaced that the split was in a mature manner and was in no way because of petty arguments. Garner and Affleck simply grew apart.

    The former couple, still living under the same properties, are planning to divide their assets peacefully with no talks of legal battles.

  • Cecile Richards Defends Planned Parenthood, Baby-Body-Parts-Transaction Caught On Video

    Cecile Richards was not shy when it came to defending her health care organization. The Planned Parenthood chief blasts—in her own words—“militant anti-abortion extremists” who recently released secretly recorded videos of her doctors allegedly discussing fetal tissue payments.

    The Planned Parenthood Federation of America president said that the videos released by the Center for Medical Progress were procured in bad faith. She accused the “militants” of this premeditated attack to trap the organization’s doctors that facilitate fetal tissue donations.

    “This has been a three-year, well-funded effort by the most militant wing of the anti-abortion movement in this country to try to entrap doctors,” Richards said.

    The videos show unknown individuals, posing as fetal tissue buyers, discussing the procedures and payments with Planned Parenthood doctors Dr. Deborah Nucatola and Dr. Mary Gatter.

    The Center for Medical Progress and other anti-abortion groups have long speculated that Planned Parenthood financially benefits from fetal organs taken from the aborted.

    Richards, however, insisted that the sensationalized videos were severely edited to show clips detrimental to Planned Parenthood. According to her, the videos do not show the doctors repeatedly stating the non-profit nature of the organization’s fetal tissue donation for medical research.

    Planned Parenthood dismissed the profit allegations, stating that the payments discussed in the videos were strictly for reimbursement.

    The Center for Medical Progress’ David Daleiden predicted Planned Parenthood’s counterattack in a released statement. He affirmed his stand on the videos exposing the organization as an “enterprise-wide operation that traffics and sells baby parts.”

    Caught in the crossfire are also two warring parties, the Democrats and the Republicans.

    GOP representatives are now taking action towards the cutting of Planned Parenthood’s federal funding. However, Democrats such as Hillary Clinton came to Richards’ aid, claiming that the smear campaign against the non-profit organization is “an attack on women’s right to choose.”

  • Gabby Douglas Intent On Reaching Elusive Olympic Feat

    In the world of gymnastics, time is the undefeatable enemy. Gymnastics is hard on the mind and body, making longevity in the sport a difficult task. Gabby Douglas, however, wants to take on that task and become the first two-time winner of the Olympic all-around title in 50 years.

    The first female gymnasts to accomplish this feat were the former Soviet Union’s Larisa Latynina and Věra Čáslavská of the Czech Republic. They were successive two-time all around champions, but arguably during a time when the sport was not as demanding. A number of other gymnasts have since come close but were unsuccessful and soon Douglas will have her chance at the elusive repeat.

    The American phenom won her first Olympic gold medal for the individual all-around in the 2012 Summer Olympics, and took home a second gold medal at the games for the all-round team competition. Soon after, Douglas started taking breaks, had inconsistent camps, and suddenly the hopes of a successful return was met by criticism.

    As a gymnast, taking a break is a major setback as months of training and repetition can turn to rust after just a few weeks of idleness. The mind might think that it’s still able, but the body won’t cooperate.

    But after all the skepticism and the rise of a new gymnastic superpower in Simone Biles, Douglas is ready to reclaim what she won years ago.

    “I never really wanted to retire. I wanted to take a little bit of a break, and then go for it,” said Douglas whose first real competition since the Olympics was at the Secret Classic in Hoffman Estates, Ill., held last Saturday.

    She came in second overall behind Biles, who beat her by 1.9 points. Though she came up short on Saturday,  Douglas is now older and wiser and certainly more motivated to become the next Olympic two-time champion.

    “My comeback wasn’t fake, guys,” said Douglas.

    Gymnastics fans have to wait and see if Gabby Douglas can successfully defend her title in 2016.

  • Satanic Statue Has Grand Unveiling In Detroit, Stirs Controversy

    The Satanic Temple unveiled its controversial statue to about 700 people in Detroit, much to the distress of Catholics in the area.

    The ceremony was supposed to be held at a well-known Detroit restaurant, but an array of intimidations forced the owner to withdraw from accommodating the event. Lucien Greaves, the co-founder of the “religious organization” told reporters that people were threatening to burn down the original venue.

    The owner, Bert Dearing, was also not aware of the uncommon affiliations of the group.

    “When I rented the place, I just thought it was a church. I didn’t know about the unveiling of a statue. We weren’t aware they were into devil worshiping,” said Dearing who had to give back the $3,000 rental fee.

    So instead, the 8½-foot-tall statue of Baphomet was presented at a secret location with a decent-sized audience, all paying for tickets. However, this second venue was also met with hostility, though not as prominent.

    The event itself was flooded by pageantry as red lights, shirtless men with candles, and punk bands made appearances. And of course, there were also the obligatory speeches from the Satanic Temple leaders prior to removing the Baphoment’s covers.

    The statue, which was reportedly designed and constructed for over $100,000, is not intended to remain in Detroit. According to Greaves, the group is planning to place it in Little Rock, Arkansas, next to a Ten Commandments monument. Though the task would be difficult since the plan to erect the statue near a Ten Commandments monument in Oklahoma was not permitted.

  • Kelly Ripa Wants To Be ‘Partnered Up’ On Ashley Madison

    So apparently, anything can now be a headline, including the curious case of the flustered Kelly Ripa in a segment about Ashley Madison on last week’s  Live With Kelly and Michael.

    The morning talk show host, together with her partner, Michael Strahan, talked about the latest buzz that is the Ashley Madison meltdown.

    Ashley Madison, with the slogan “Life is short. Have an affair,” is a dating site for married men and women. So, it’s basically a cheating pub for bored spouses. And in a recent comedic turn of events, the karma gods struck the website for adulterers by sending hackers to infiltrate and retrieve confidential information to the dismay of its users.

    On Live With Kelly and Michael, the two hosts had a little chit chat regarding the site and Michael suddenly asked a riveting question that seemed to rattle Kelly a bit.

    “So, question: What if your wife finds out that you’re on Ashley Madison? But then you find out she’s on it too?” Michael asked.

    Well, clearly this has to confuse any heterosexual woman being asked a question about her wife.

    Kelly replied with “Are you asking me, or are you asking…who are you asking? If I found out Mark was on Ashley Madison?”

    The innocent question by Michael was the problem, contextually that is.

    That is, until Ripa started rambling.

    “I hope we both are on Ashley Madison. I hope so,” Ripa said. “I hope we get partnered up, that would be amazing. That would be incredible. I’m joining today. Babe, if you’re watching this, and I know you’re not, but if you are…if somebody is near Mark at the gym, join Ashley Madison. I’m going to do it today.”

    Luckily, we all had the answer we were looking for last Friday. So it turns out that Kelly had no clear idea what Ashley Madison was about.

    “I didn’t realize it was people who want to cheat on each other,” she confessed. “I thought it was just men.”

  • Kristen Bell Makes Touching Gesture To ‘Frozen’ Fan Suffering With Brain Tumor

    Kristen Bell Makes Touching Gesture To ‘Frozen’ Fan Suffering With Brain Tumor

    Thanks to Frozen voice actress Kristen Bell, what started as another day of radiation therapy ended with probably one of the best moments of little Avery Huffman’s life.

    Huffman is a 6-year-old girl diagnosed with DIPG (Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma), an inoperable brain tumor which has caused her a lot of suffering at a very young age.

    Bell learned of Huffman’s story through a friend of her father’s and decided to give the young Frozen fan a special gift: to be an honorary princess of the kingdom of “Arendelle”.

    Brandon Huffman, Avery’s dad, emphasized his daughter’s fondness of the Disney animated movie. “Like roughly 93% of all little girls in the United States, Avery loved the movie Frozen,” he wrote. He also shared that both he and his daughter had watched or heard Frozen over 200 times and had sung duets to songs from the movie like “Love is an Open Door.”

    Disguised as Frozen’s Anna, Bell delivered the young Frozen fan a heartfelt voice message. In her message, Bell included special details about Huffman such as her favorite toy and the names of each of her siblings.

    Huffman was especially thrilled when Anna bestowed upon her the title of honorary princess of Arendelle, the kingdom ruled by Queen Elsa.

    The proclamation, according to Bell, was a reward for Huffman being “brave” and being the “good girl” that she is.

    Bell’s gesture was met with high praise and gratitude, especially from Huffman’s father.

    “Despite being incredibly busy, Kristen Bell took the time to make a little 6-year old girl’s day. It was awesome for Avery and us, and emotional for us as well,” said Mr. Huffman.

  • Ashley Madison Hack Reveals Jaw-Dropping Number Of Cheaters In Canada’s Capital City

    Approximately 20 perecent of the population of Canada’s capital city is registered on the internet’s current center of controversy, Ashley Madison.

    AshleyMadison.com is a website whose main clients are married individuals seeking affairs.

    “Life is short. Have an affair,” is the site’s slogan.

    Ottawa has a population of approximately 883,000 people and 189,810 of them are registered users to the site. Avid Life Media, a Toronto-based company, owns the adulterer website. This makes the capital city number 1 for philanderers in Canada and potentially the highest globally per capita.

    “This volume of instant terror and pain was not previously possible in human history. Our privacy is gone. Desire, of course, remains,” says Heather Mallick, a columnist, at TheStar.com.

    But questions were raised over the accuracy of the subscription data.

    ALM experienced a huge hack just this week from a group of hackers called Impact Team. The hack exposed 37 million users’ data. The group aims to take Ashley Madison and its sister site EstablishedMen.com down.

    “Cheating dirtbags who deserve no discretion,” is what the group calls the clients of the uber-for-adulterers website. According to reports, the hack may have been an inside job.

    Apparently, Ottawa’s lawmakers, civil servants, and politicians are the ones having a hard time in avoiding infidelity. Reuters reported “the most-registered postal code in the city represented Parliament Hill, the seat of power in the country.”

    “Power, fame, and opportunity” probably are the reasons for the infidelity of residents in the city, ALM CEO Noel Biderman reasoned. He recently admitted earlier this year that “capital cities usually top subscription rates for the adulterous service.”

    The Sleepy City’s residents seem to think otherwise saying that the reason is a whole lot simpler – “everyone is just bored out of their minds.”

    “Why do you think everyone goes to Montreal to have a good time?” a respondent told Reuters.

    “Ottawa is the city fun forgot.”

  • Khloe Kardashian’s Affair With James Harden Killed Her Marriage

    Reality star Khloe Kardashian and estranged husband, NBA star Lamar Odom, have finally signed their divorce papers.

    The two met up in Vegas to sign the papers and the said documents were received by the Los Angeles County Superior Court last Friday.

    The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star originally filed for divorce in December 2013 when she finally had it with Odom’s substance abuse and unfaithfulness.

    The youngest Kardashian’s petition was almost dismissed by the court in October 2014 and April 2015 due to “inactivity” from the estranged couple.

    Apparently, Kardashian was hesitant to divorce Odom.

    In an interview with E! News in April, the fashionista declared that she still loves Lamar and wished they were still together.

    A source close to the 31-year-old Kardashian revealed that she tried to work it out with Odom for more than a year after filing for divorce. In fact, the reality star scheduled many couples therapy sessions but Lamar did not take her efforts seriously.

    According to US Weekly, Lamar was not happy when Kardashian started going out with other guys. The former Lakers player took offense when the reality star had an affair with another basketball player, James Harden of Houston Rockets.

    According to the source, Lamar felt Kardashian disrespected him by going out with Harden and realized he wanted to finalize the divorce.

    In the meantime, the youngest Kardashian seemed to be in a good mood in spite of the looming end of her marriage to the man she was “obssessed with.”

    The reality star has an approaching excursion to Australia and late this year, she will be busy with her new talk show on E!, called Kocktails with Khloe.

  • Nicole Kidman: Aussie Actress Talks About Marriage And Career With ‘Vogue’

    Nicole Kidman answered 73 questions by Vogue’s cameraman as she gave a tour of her farm estate in Bunya Hill in the Sutton Forest village of New South Wales.

    The cameraman first asked Kidman about the coolest thing about Sydney and the 48-year-old actress quickly said, “the people.” Turns out that her country life in Sydney shares something in common with her home in Nashville — “community spirit.”

    During the interview, the Moulin Rouge! star also talked about her life with musician husband Keith Urban and their two children.

    According to Kidman, the biggest surprise of her life was discovering that she was pregnant. She further shared that the best part of being a mother is “everything: the love, the joy, the purpose.”

    And though she wasn’t familiar with Urban’s music before meeting him, she is now his biggest fan and insists that she is a country music fan as well.

    Kidman also revealed why she chose diverse roles as she hopped from hit dramas to “avant-garde” and small independent films in an interview with Vogue’s Jason Gay.

    Apparently, the late Stanley Kubrick advised  Kidman to always listen to someone’s idea.

    Kidman worked with Kubrick in the film Eyes Wide Shut in 1999.

    Thus, Kidman took on risky roles and played a villainess in Paddington, starred as Grace Kelly in Grace of Monaco and accepted the starring role in the drama-musical Moulin Rouge!

    Director Michael Grandage described Kidman as fearless, as she continually chose new projects “over anything else.”

    And though Kidman has worked with renowned directors like Kubrick, Luhrmann, Gus Van Sant, Jane Campion and Lars von Trier, she also collaborated with new directors such as Kim Farrant in Strangerland and John Cameron Mitchell in the film Rabbit Hole.

    This fall, Kidman is set to return to the stage in Photograph 51, which will run in London’s West End.

  • Selena Gomez Doesn’t Think She’s Hot, Rates Herself A Mere 6 Out Of 10

    It wasn’t too long ago when Selena Gomez was in a midst of a body shaming controversy over her bikini pictures. Most were impressed with how mature and positive the 22-year-old handled the issue, exuding confidence in her looks and body.

    So it came as a surprise to a lot of people when the former Disney star rated herself a mere 6 out of 10 on the attractiveness scale.

    The singer was a guest on the “TJ Show” recently and she talked freely about her plans for her career, her birthday and her best friends. The host of the radio show also asked the singer to rate her attractiveness on a scale of one to ten.

    “I would say, like, [on] a premiere day, I would be a good nine,” the “Wizards of Waverly Place” star reflected. “And then on my every day I feel like a 6. Gosh, that sounds so bad. I feel like a 6 or a 7.”

    The question, and Gomez’ answer, immediately raised eyebrows. Firstly, because the question was inane, dated and just reinforced the idea that a young woman’s beauty could – and should – be graded. And secondly, the fact that Gomez didn’t think twice about answering the question was disturbing as it just underlined the Hollywood norm that looks trumps over whatever success a woman has accomplished.

    But prior to that buzz killing question, the Princess Protection Program alum was actually talking about stuff that matter – her feelings regarding one fan base being pitted against the other, her admiration for Amy Schumer, her best friends.

    During the interview, Gomez admitted that she’s such a huge fan of Amy Schumer that she’s been trying to “finagle” her way into Inside Amy Schumer.

    “I think she’s amazing,” she gushed about the comedienne.

    Another star that Gomez thinks is amazing is Katy Perry. Despite being in Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood” video – which is said to be a dig against the “Roar” singer – Gomez sees nothing wrong in her admiration of Perry.

  • Kate Gosselin’s Ex-Hubby, Jon, Has A New Flame — Meet Colleen

    Back in May, Jon & Kate Plus 8 star Kate Gosselin was seen with rumored boyfriend, millionaire Jeff Prescott at the Talula’s Garden in Philadelphia.

    The reality star’s diamond ring sparked the news that she moved on from ex-husband, Jon Gosselin, whom she had eight children with.

    However, Kate blasted the rumors via a Twitter post and explained she was not engaged and that she only wore the ring in celebration of her 40th birthday.

    And now, it’s Jon’s turn to show he has found love once more.

    Last Friday, the former reality show star was spotted with his new girlfriend, Colleen Conrad in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania.

    The couple, who knew each other since they were kids, looked happy as they wore big smiles on their faces while walking and holding hands.

    The two reportedly met each other again nine months ago and have already been living under the same roof for eight months.

    Will Colleen Conrad be the last in Jon’s long list of women he has dated since his divorce from Kate in 2009?

    After all, Conrad, who is a registered nurse, has already met the former reality star’s eight children: 14-year-old twins Cara and Madelyn, and the 10-year-old sextuplets Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah, and Joel.

    Conrad, who works as case manager at The Reading Hospital and Medical Center, was also observed to be supportive of Jon’s DJ stints.

    Jon’s new girlfriend was present at his gig at the First Annual White Affair in Wyomissing, and onlookers attest to the couple’s sweetness, as they shared intimate moments while in the DJ booth.

    Though Jon claims to earn consistent income as a DJ, he still doesn’t have custody of his children.

    Nevertheless, a person close to Jon has informed Us Weekly that he is working on getting full custody of his daughter Hannah.

  • Marilyn Mosby’s Request To Seal Evidence Gets Denied By Judge

    A Maryland Judge recently denied the request made by Atty. Marilyn Mosby to prohibit the defense attorneys of the Freddie Gray Case from leaking evidence to the public.

    Mosby made the request for a court hearing to argue for a protective order preventing the opposition from releasing confidential evidence.

    The Baltimore state attorney feared that the defense would only publicize evidence favoring the six police officers accused of second-degree murder amongst other charges— risking the chance of a fair trial.

    However, Judge Barry Williams acted against the imposition of a protective order. Williams rejected the prosecutor’s request without arguments in a court hearing,  believing that the state “does not suggest there is anything in discovery that warrants restricting disclosure.”

    The judge added that the defense has yet to publicize their evidence since the June 26 deadline and even if they did so, “there simply is no basis in the assertions presented to the court for the broad and extraordinary relief sought in the motion.”

    “The only discovery item that has become public as of this date has been information from the autopsy report, and at the time of the alleged disclosure, the report had not been turned over to Defendants,” wrote Williams.

    Mosby is in charge of the prosecution of the six Baltimore officers she believed to have caused Freddie Gray’s death. Gray,25, is a black man that died because of spinal injuries sustained while in police custody.

    The death caused another public outrage that heated up the issue of police maltreatment against minorities. The trial is set for October with the officers pleading not guilty.

    Judge William’s ruling was not met with comments from the defense attorneys but Marilyn Mosby’s camp took the time to respond.

    “We will litigate this case in the courtroom, not the media,” said Mosby spokeswoman Rochelle Ritchie vie electronic mail.

  • Cara Delevingne And St. Vincent Have Broken Up Again?

    Cara Delevingne And St. Vincent Have Broken Up Again?

    A source reveals that Cara Delevingne split with her singer girlfriend, St. Vincent.

    Page Six was told by the insider that the breakup happened just recently since the couple was still seen on Instagram just two weeks ago.

    But these rumors were quashed by the couple themselves.

    “Being in love with my girlfriend is a big part of why I’m feeling so happy with who I am these days,” the 22-year-old model-turned-actress told Vogue’s July issue.

    Delevingne, looking gorgeous as ever, wore a Saint Laurent at the red carpet premiere of her new movie Paper Towns on Tuesday at the AMC Loews Lincoln Square in New York City.

    And St. Vincent was there to support her girlfriend all the way. They appeared to be still-together just a day after it was rumored that they had split up again.

    Earlier that day, Cara appeared on The Today Show, Live! With Kelly and Michael and also at the Apple Store for a Q&A with the cast and filmmakers of the new movie.

    While on stage at the event, she was seen playing with the Apple Watch of Paper Town’s author and executive producer John Green.

    St. Vincent, whose real name is Annie Clark, posted yesterday on Instagram a photo of the gift she just received from Delevingne.

    “An Airline Twin Tone guitar signed by David Bowie. Thank you, @caradelevingne. Best gift ever in the entire world. (Heart emoji…),” she captioned the sweet photo.

    Page Six revealed that Delevingne’s rep did not comment about the supposed breakup and neither did St. Vincent’s rep.

    “But Cara looked happy Saturday at a WSJ Magazine and Forevermark screening of her film Paper Towns,” they said.

    So, it seems that for now, these two women are still together despite the ongoing breakup rumors.

  • Candis Cayne & Caitlyn Jenner: The New Transgender ‘It’ Couple?

    Transgender celebrity and reality star Caitlyn Jenner has been rumored to be dating Candis Cayne, a transgender performer.

    The two were seen together several times and Cayne even appeared in the latest TV ad for the former Olympian’s new reality show on E!, called I Am Cait.

    Nevertheless, people close to 65-year-old Jenner have asserted that the two were no more than friends.

    However, a source from the reality TV show has revealed that Jenner and Cayne will share an intimate moment on the show.

    The pair looked very romantic, according to the insider, and added that viewers might see Jenner and Cayne’s kiss as “tender and emotionally uplifting.”

    The source further informed Mirror that Jenner was so love-struck with Cayne that the reality star was insistent on including her in the show.

    It wouldn’t be a surprise if Cayne becomes a regular on I Am Cait, the insider also added.

    Cayne, who supported Jenner in receiving the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage during the ESPY Awards this year, was also spotted painting “the town red” with the reality star last weekend.

    The pair was first seen having dinner at Nobu, a Malibu hotspot last Friday.

    Then, Jenner and Cayne were reported to have partied at The Abbey, a known gay bar in West Hollywood last Saturday.

    Though Jenner came with her boydguard and other friends, the reality star remained close with Cayne throughout their stay at the bar.

    Other patrons at the bar were excited to see the stunning reality star, who was very hard to miss.

    Jenner arrived at The Abbey wearing an eye-catching “black leather wrap dress” and completed her look with a nameplate necklace, gold bracelet, black cardigan and heels.

  • Katy Perry Is Still Fighting With Nuns Over $15 Million Estate

    Sister Rita Callanan and Sister Catherine Rose Holzman have requested for a temporary restraining order against the sale of their estate to famous singer Katy Perry.

    The nuns, who were from the Immaculate Heart of Mary order, declared that selling the property to the “Roar” singer would violate their canonical vows to the Catholic church because of her “public image.”

    When Archbishop José H. Gomez first informed the nuns about the plan to sell the 8-acre lot in September 2014 for $14.5 million, he said that the buyer’s name was Katherine Hudson.

    However, when the nuns learned of Ms. Hudson’s stage name and public persona, they decided to push through with their prior arrangement with restauranteur Dana Hollister and sell the land their convent was built upon for $15.5 million.

    According to the nuns, the deal would be far more beneficial as the estate is worth 1 million dollars more than the deal with Perry, which was enough to see the five sisters of the order through their retirement.

    But Archbishop Gomez stated that a sale to the restaurant owner was unauthorized.

    The archbishop also declined to gather the sisters to finalize the deal with Hollister and instead plans to push through a transaction with Katy Perry.

    On the contrary, the nuns declared that they have full authority over the villa-style property on top of a hill in Los Feliz, which they acquired through a non-profit many years ago.

    Though the archbishop has obtained declarations of support from three of the five sisters, namely: Sister Jean-Marie Dunne, Sister Marie Victoriano, and Sister Marie Christine Munoz Lopez; Sister Callanan and Sister Holzman were doubtful of how Gomez acquired the papers.

    The two nuns argued that Sister Dunne was against the sale even though she signed her declaration and Sister Lopez appeared to have taken morphine and was light-headed when she signed her statement.

    Nevertheless, the judge who is in charge of the legal dispute has asked the nuns to sort out the matter with the Los Angeles archdiocese before taking harsh legal steps.

  • Ashley Madison: 37 Million Cheaters’ Profiles Have Been Hacked!

    It’s ironic that cheaters who used a website to cheat on their partners found themselves cheated, thanks to hackers.

    “Ashley Madison,” a website encouraging people to have an affair because “life is short,” was hacked on Monday by a group that calls themselves The Impact Team. The group claims to have gotten access to the site’s 37 million member database, along with their financial records and personal information.

    The controversial “dating” company, which is known for enabling millions of married people to cheat on their spouses, prides itself on its confidentiality and security measures and has claimed to have “100pc discreet service.” It even has a “Trusted Security Award” prominently displayed on its homepage.

    Now, unless the company meets the hacker’s demands to shut down “Ashley Madison” and its sister site “Established Men” The Impact Team will release “all customer records, including profiles with all the customers’ secret sexual fantasies and matching credit card transactions, real names and addresses, and employee documents and emails.”

    According to Bryan Krebs, investigative journalist and cybercrime expert, the hackers have already posted some user accounts along with information about Avid Life Media, “Ashley Madison’s” parent company.

    Avid Life Media admits the site has been hacked but insists that the company has removed all the stolen information by using the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

    In a previously released statement, Ashley Madison assures its members that it has “been able to secure our sites, and close the unauthorized access points.”

    The company added that they are working with law enforcement agencies so that “any and all parties responsible for this act of cyber–terrorism will be held responsible.” They have reportedly also hired one of the top IT security teams in the world to prevent another attack.

    The company believes the hack was spearheaded by an individual who worked with the company’s technical systems but was not an employee of the company.

    The Impact Team appears to have taken issue with “Ashley Madison’s” allegedly misleading profile-delete policies.

    “Ashley Madison” offers a “full delete” service that allegedly erases a user’s profile and all associated information completely for a $19 fee.

    The hackers state that the feature has netted the company $1.7 million in revenue last year but that it was “a complete lie” as users’ credit card purchase details, which includes real names and addresses, are not removed.

    “Ashley Madison” has since offered to make the service free to its customers

    The “Ashley Madison” hack has opened a veritable can of worms for both the company and its members who don’t want to advertise their proclivities. And for a lot of people, even having your name associated with the site can be damaging.

  • Jamie Lee Curtis Shows Up As A ‘Street Fighter’ At EVO 2015

    The Evolution Championship Series 2015, or EVO, happened last weekend and the World’s Coolest Mom, Jamie Lee Curtis, appeared incognito as Street Fighter’s Vega.

    In a Twitter post, Curtis announced that she went to the EVO event with her son Thomas as a graduation present and that she disguised herself as the mask-clad fighter Vega.

    Curtis, mainly known for her character in the Halloween movie series, also came with her husband, writer and director Christopher Guest.

    Both father and son were also dressed up as characters from video games.

    Guest came as Tekken’s Doctor Bosconovitch while Thomas turned up as Dee Jay, another character from Street Fighter.

    Curtis’ tweet came with a photo of the family posed in their characters’ famed stance.

    The Halloween star also posted a photo of her holding Vega’s mask close to her face.

    Though EVO usually features guest celebrity appearances to promote the event, Curtis’ attendance still came as a surprise to fans at the tournament.

    After all, the EVO series is a yearly three-day-event for fans of fighting games and spirited players, and its “hyper-specific subset of video game culture” caters to one genre.

    Apparently, the claw- brandishing Spanish cage fighter Curtis/ Vega is also a fighting game fan. She even revealed that she would also like to portray Cammy, another character in Street Fighter.

    While promoting her latest movie, Spare Parts, the audience asked Curtis to choose between Ryu or Ken, and she humorously said she favored Cammy.

  • Kelly Slater: Pro-Surfer Watches Friend Get Attacked By Shark At JBay Open

    Coco Beach’s Kelly Slater was left in shock when he saw his good friend, Mick Fanning, get attacked by a large shark during the JBay Open at Jeffrey’s Bay in Eastern Cape Province.

    Slater was watching the boats and skis proceeding to the lineup when he happened to notice the shark attack.

    The surfer ran up to the beach to assess the situation and was happy to see that Fanning wasn’t harmed at all.

    Nevertheless, Slater admitted that he was upset and speechless by the whole event because he was close to witnessing a shark eat his friend.

    As soon as Fanning came up to the beach, Slater gave his friend a hug.

    Slater actually lost to Fanning in the semi-finals in South Africa, though his ranking has risen from 11th place to sixth.

    Meanwhile, Fanning was in position for the final contest between him and fellow surfer Julian Wilson, when the attack happened.

    According to Fanning, he was waiting for his turn when he felt something tug or get caught in his leg rope, and he automatically jumped away from his board.

    The Australian surfer only saw fins going after his surfboard as he kicked and screamed.

    When Fanning felt the shark come for him, he hit it at its back and swam away.

    Only the Australian surfer’s board sustained injuries, with a small indentation and bitten leg rope.

    Fellow surfer and finalist Wilson also saw the whole thing happen, from the time the shark appeared behind Fanning and bumped him off his board. Fanning and Wilson were both vying for first place but the contest was cut short due to the shark attack.

    Eventually, both surfers were awarded second-place and received cash prizes.

    But Wilson exclaimed that he doesn’t care about the outcome of the finals, as he was just pleased to know that Fanning was alive.

  • Kendra Wilkinson Stands By Her Hubby, Chooses To Forgive And Forget About His Affair

    Former Playboy Bunny Kendra Wilkinson posted a message on Instagram for all those who were criticizing her husband, former NFL player Hank Baskett.

    In her lengthy note on the photo sharing site, the former Girls Next Door star declared her love for her husband and stated that he is the love of her life, a true man, she further added.

    Baskett, has been criticized by fans and non-supporters for supposedly having an affair with a transgender woman named Ava Sabrina London last year.

    But the 30-year-old blonde beauty stated that she believes in forgetting about the past and that she also believes Baskett’s story about the said affair.

    The footballer claimed that he never cheated but admitted that he messed up.

    Wilkinson also affirmed how much she valued her wedding vows and that she won’t let what other people say affect her and her marriage.

    Wilkinson and Baskett exchanged vows in June 2009 and have two children: 5-year-old Hank IV and 15-month-old Alijah.

    The Marriage Boot Camp star further thanked those who supported her and Baskett.

    Wilkinson believed that people who know her husband would know he was telling the truth and those who do not were just making false stories.

    Her final message to the haters: “kiss my a–.”

    The message was uploaded some hours before a fresh new episode of Marriage Boot Camp was released.

    The couple appeared in the latest season of Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars to sort out their marriage issues, but fellow co-stars said that Wilkinson and Baskett’s relationship is just pretend.

    Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, one of their co-stars, saw things differently. In his opinion, Wilkinson would have “punched him [Baskett] in the motherf—ing face right in front of us”, if the story was real.

    However, in a story featured in US Weekly last May, Wilkinson announced that they’re both working on their marriage and that their relationship is going well as of the moment.

  • Jennifer Lawrence Gets An Erroneous Tattoo, Calls Her New Ink ‘Watered Down Rebellion’

    Jennifer Lawrence revealed her new tattoo while at the Comic-con annual convention last Thursday to promote her movie, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2.

    In a video interview with HitFix, the 24-year-old actress showed an obscure scar-colored tattoo on her right hand that says H2O, which she humorously described as a “watered down rebellion” because of its light shade.

    However, Lawrence acknowledged that there was an error on her permanent marking, as her tattoo featured a 2 that is inked on top while the chemical formula for water should have a 2 on the bottom.

    Admitting her mistake, the Hunger Games star joked that she should have researched it on Google before having it marked permanently.

    Apparently, the Silver Linings Playbook actress was on an outing with Hunger Games co-star Liam Hemsworth and his family when she got the tattoo, seeing that everybody else was getting inked.

    Lawrence explained that she thought of getting an H2O tattoo since she knows she will always need to drink water — good reason.

    A closer look at the actress’ pictures during a fashion show in Paris on July 8, 2014 revealed that the three-symbol tattoo was already on her right hand, according to Mail Online.

    Lawrence must have had the tattoo after attending the Coldplay concert on July 1, 2014 with co-stars Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson.

    Meanwhile, the actress was also happy to meet Ghostbusters star Bill Murray at the Comic-con convention and posed for several photos with him.

    Lawrence admitted that she was a huge fan of Murray, and that she sent emails to co-star Woody Harrelson about stuff that she would say to the Ghostbusters actor.
