  • Scott Disick Is Going Back To Rehab, Kourtney Kardashian Stands By Her Man

    For the first time in weeks, high-profile couple Scott Disick and Kourtney Kardashian were able to spend some quality time together.

    The long-time lovers were seen bonding over drinks of the non-alcoholic kind at their local Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf.

    The two kept things pretty casual. The eldest Kardashian was wearing a gym outfit of colorful leggings and a crisp, white Nike jacket while the self-proclaimed Lord Disick was in plaid shirt, jeans and thick facial hair.

    The quiet date was a welcome respite for the embattled couple before Disick checks himself back in rehab.

    Kourtney’s better half has been battling some demons following the death of his parents and recently said that “I realize my issues are bigger than me and I’m ready to truly remedy this struggle I continue to battle.”

    The 35-year-old Kardashian sister is standing firmly behind her man, confirming that “he is learning so much about himself and growing, and so that’s really amazing to see.”

    “When he’s working on himself it only betters our relationship,” she added.

    That’s definitely good news for Kourtney and Disick’s young family.

    Speaking of family, that was actually the reason Kourtney wasn’t able to join her sisters Kim and Khloe on their trip to Armenia and Jerusalem. The sisters, along with Kim’s husband Kanye West and their daughter North, appear to be having a good time.

    “I wish I was in Armenia with my sisters on #siblingsday! I didn’t end up going to Armenia because it was making me too anxious with three young children,” Kourtney confirmed on her Instagram page.

    It’s no secret to fans that the hands-on mom was anxious about leaving her children – 5-year-old Mason, 2-year-old Penelope and the 3-month-old Reign – behind.

    But that’s OK, as Kourtney knows they can always go back to their ancestral country, maybe when her children are older.

    “I do wish that I could have experienced the trip with my sisters but I do know that we will all go to Armenia together someday. (sic)”

  • Marco Rubio’s Cheerleader Wife Shuns Spotlight

    With the US Presidential elections fast approaching, women like Marco Rubio’s wife, Jeannette Rubio, will have to get used to the spotlight.

    That is a tall order for the former Jeanette Dousdebes as she prefers to be behind-the-scenes and would rather just stay home to give stability to their children’s lives.

    But the fact that Jeanette is rarely seen, much less heard, has made people wonder about the woman behind the man who might be president.

    As it turns out, there’s a lot to know about this happy homemaker.

    For one, the lovely Jeanette used to be a cheerleader for the Miami Dolphins during the 90s. She was also featured in the cheerleading squad’s first ever swimsuit calendar but left the team in 1996. Two years later, she married Marco.

    Marco and Jeanette describe themselves as childhood sweethearts. They first met at a neighborhood party when he was 19 and she was 17.

    Their first date was memorable, but not in a good way. According to the 40-year-old Jeanette, they watched the movie Robin Hood on their first date and throughout the movie “he would start talking to me, which I thought was a little annoying.”

    Jeannette apparently forgave him that faux pas and they got married in 1998.

    The ex-cheerleader also harbored dreams about being a fashion designer, but an unexpected pregnancy made her decide to become a stay-at-home mom. That decision became even more important as Marco’s political career began to flourish.

    “If he’s out there, I feel like I have to be here for them, to give them that reality,” she explained.

    But that doesn’t mean that she’s not willing to step up and take on a more active role. After all, her presence can be crucial in galvanizing voters of Columbian descent in much the same way her husband’s Cuban roots give him an advantage over Cuban-American voters.

    “In the future, if I have to do it, of course I’ll do it,” she assured. “But in general, I am shy.”

  • Did The Entire Wu-Tang Clan Rap Group Have Sex With This Woman?

    You learn a lot of things watching Divorce Court. In a recent episode where a woman was accused of sleeping with the entire Wu-Tang Clan, the world was introduced to the expression “buss down.”

    In one of the more bizarre but entertaining episodes, Nathan Sellers accused his then-girlfriend of sleeping with the entire Wu-Tang Clan, or as he so eloquently put it “she gave Wu some tang.”

    Lia Palmquist, the ex-girlfriend, riposted with her own creative way of saying she remained faithful to Nate by insisting that “I kept my lady points together.”

    Palmquist further expounded on her situation and explained to Judge Lyn Toler what went down that night.

    “I met Wu-Tang. I got on their tour bus. I went back to their hotel. And I was just hanging out all night. It was amazing,” she explained. “We were not doing anything but talking… we talked a lot about politics.”

    Judge Toler didn’t seem too convinced but to be fair, Wu-Tang can get very political when it comes to certain issues, like the Ferguson incident and racial inequality.

    They might have been engaged in a heated discussion until Palmquist realized it was already 7am and had to rush home in a cab.

    Palmquist insisted that nothing wrong happened and wanted to put on record that “Wu-Tang is nothing but gentlemen.”

    She also clarified that she “would never be a buss down or a groupie in that situation.”

    While the new expression amused Toler for a few seconds, she also found it to be the perfect way of telling Palmquist that her actions were indeed groupie behavior.

    In the end, Judge Toler ruled in favor of Sellers, the defendant.

    Apparently, the case was really about Sellers allegedly bringing bedbugs into Palmquist’s home during the time that they were living together.

    But it’s always much more educational to talk about the Wu-Tang Clan than bedbugs.

  • Annegret Raunigk, 65, Is Pregnant With Quadruplets; Already Has 13 Kids

    How old is too old when it comes to having children? For Annegret Raunigk, it would seem that you’re never too old to become a mother.

    The 65-year-old Berlin native is reported to be pregnant with quadruplets. She is also mother to 13 children already, with ages ranging from 44 to 9.

    Raunigk claims that it was her youngest daughter’s wish to have a brother or a sister that prodded her to try and have more children.

    According to the mother of 13, this pregnancy is the result of several rounds of artificial insemination, using donated sperm and egg cells.

    The German pensioner has downplayed the issue of her age, but she has consistently been fielding comments and criticisms about her decision to still have and raise children.

    Most concerns were centered on her health at this stage of her life. Her doctor, Kai Hertwig, gave assurances that Raunigk is a “very strong, very fit woman” but does admit that “quadruplet pregnancies are always a high burden.”

    Doctors have suggested selective reduction to the new mother but Raunigk said it’s something that she has never considered.

    RTL TV network has been documenting her journey and will continue to follow her though the pregnancy up until delivery.

    Raugnigk is no stranger to controversy, or to the media reporting her pregnancy. Several years ago, she broke records as the oldest woman to become a mother at 55. Now, if all goes well, she’ll again be breaking records as the oldest mother of quadruplets at 65.

    Despite the attention, the fearless woman is going about this new pregnancy the same way she has gone through the others.

    “I simply assume I’ll remain healthy and fit. In matters of organization I have enough experience, that’s not new for me,” she explained.

    Raunigk is expected to deliver the quadruplets in the summer.

  • Kris Jenner’s Daughter Kylie Is Moving Out, They Can’t Stand Each Other

    Ah, the trials and tribulations of motherhood. It’s refreshing to see that not even Kris Jenner can escape teenage angst.

    Despite raising 5 other children, the infamous TV mom still can’t get a handle on how to deal with her 17-year-old daughter Kylie.

    “It’s been two weeks since Kylie and I have had a real, true conversation, and it’s heartbreaking to me,” the embattled mom admitted in a previous episode. “I try to spend time with each one of my kids individually, and my grandkids but recently Kylie has been making this really tough.”

    And like any mom with teenagers, Kris mused if it’s really just the age that’s making her daughter act out.

    In an attempt to patch things up, the 59-year-old mother asked her daughter to come with her to visit her grandmother. As expected, the teenager didn’t find the idea too appealing and basically had to be ordered to go.

    While Kris is struggling with Kylie, her ex-husband Bruce Jenner is also doing his best to smooth things out with his volatile daughter.

    Admitting that mother-daughter relationships can indeed be difficult at that age, the Olympian reminded Kylie that she still has his support and he’s there “to cheer you up or keep you on a positive note.”

    The planned outing did push through in this week’s show, despite Kylie being sulky all throughout the drive to her grandmother’s place.

    However, it wouldn’t be a Keeping up with the Kardashians episode if no bombs were dropped. And this time around, it came in Kylie’s quiet and casual declaration that she’ll be moving out “as soon” as she turns 18.

    That news is another thing that Kris would have to deal with but in the meantime, the mother-daughter duo did get some bonding time in at an amusement park.

    Now we just have to wait for the next episodes to see how long this truce will last.

  • Olivia Munn Will Play X-Men’s Psylocke, She’s The Perfect Geek For The Role

    Psylocke has finally arrived in the X-Men movie universe, and who better to play her than everyone’s favorite geek girl, Olivia Munn.

    The news was shared by none other than X-Men director Bryan Singer who tweeted “Excited to welcome @oliviamunn as Betsy Braddock” along with a link to an Instagram photo of Munn.

    The 34-year-old Munn is the perfect choice to play Psylocke. You can say the two underwent similar journeys.

    Psylocke, aka Betsey Braddock, is one of the X-Men characters who have undergone sweeping changes. She initially started out as this meek character with butterfly-themed powers. Known mostly as the twin of Captain Britain, she morphed into this badass, pseudo-Asian, energy-sword wielding ninja with psychic abilities mutant that she is in the comics today.

    While Munn admittedly hasn’t undergone anything as drastic as changing bodies with a Japanese assassin, she still has come a long way from her days as a co-host of G4’s nerdy but groundbreaking talk show Attack of the Show, where she reviewed movies, video games and other stuff considered too geeky to discuss on CNN.

    An avid and unabashed cosplayer, Munn is also no stranger to dressing up in costumes. She has dressed up in pretty much everything, but her Wonder Woman and Slave Leia costumes are two of her most memorable and popular ones.

    Munn will be joining Sophie Turner and Ben Hardy who will play Jean Grey and Angel respectively in the next installment of the franchise. X-Men: Apocalypse will also feature Rose Byrne, Nicholas Hoult, Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy and Evan Peters who will each reprise their roles from the previous X-Men movie. Sirs Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart, who played Magneto and Professor X originally, will not be returning in this outing.

    X-Men: Apocalypse is slated to be released in theaters on May 2016.

  • Kendall Jenner And Justin Bieber Get Cozy At Coachella, Selena Gomez Feels Betrayed

    There’s been a lot of tongue wagging and head scratching going on over Kendall Jenner and Justin Beiber’s Coachella snaps.

    The 19-year-old model was seen enjoying Coachella over the weekend with best friend Hailey Baldwin, Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas and of course, Bieber.

    Kim’s younger sister was rocking some serious gypsy chic garb as she roamed the festival grounds with her girlfriends. They were later joined by Bieber in watching some of the night’s performers.

    Their apparent closeness has had some people saying that romance is really brewing between the two, especially with what Bieber has been posting on Instagram.

    The singer posted a photo of himself, wearing just basketball shorts, leaning towards Kendall’s neck. The KUWTK star was wearing a yellow bikini and a pink skirt.

    But what does Bieber’s  ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez think about this?

    According to a source close to the brunette singer, Gomez feels “betrayed” after seeing snaps of the two enjoying Coachella. And in a weird twist, another source says that Bieber actually asked his ex to join him at the event.

    “Selena said that Justin reached out to her in Atlanta and congratulated her on almost wrapping production,” the source said before adding that “he told her she should come join them at Coachella.”

    But it seems that Gomez doesn’t have anything to feel betrayed over. An eyewitness says that despite Bieber’s hopes to hook up with Kendall, the up and coming model preferred the company of her female friends.

    “Justin has been showering Kendall and Hailey with lots of attention,” the insider said. “However, the girls have had so much fun they haven’t entertained his advances.”

    As a matter of fact, they’re having so much fun with each other that Bieber has been left feeling like “the spare wheel.” Ouch!

    Beiber shouldn’t lose hope though. He still has a chance, especially with Kris Jenner reportedly excited over the idea of her younger daughter hooking up with the 21-year-old singer.

  • Demi Moore’s Ex, Ashton Kutcher, Cheated With Scott Eastwood’s Girlfriend?

    Scott Eastwood tried to make the atmosphere lighter for Jon Cryer but ended up exposing the reason behind Demi Moore’s divorce from Ashton Kutcher.

    The Clint Eastwood doppelganger and Jon Cryer were guests on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live when the shocking revelation happened.

    One caller wanted to know if Cryer felt awkward working with Kutcher on Two and a Half Men since the two both dated Demi Moore. Cryer was romantically involved with her during their Brat Pack days in the 80’s while Kutcher was married to Moore from 2005 to 2013.

    Cryer acknowledged that it was awkward and that he felt uncomfortable during his first time filming with Kutcher for the show. While Cryer was describing that weird beginning, Eastwood stepped in to help him out.

    “If it makes you feel any better, he did sleep with one of my ex-girlfriends. But she was my current girlfriend at the time, so…” Eastwood deadpanned.

    Cohen was quick to capitalize on the tidbit and quickly asked “Was it the girl in San Diego?”

    “Yeah, it was her and her friends,” the Fury star acknowledged.

    Eastwood was referencing to the 2011 scandal where two girls claimed they had sex with Moore’s ex-husband during a wild party at the San Diego Hard Rock Hotel. The scandal rocked Kutcher and Moore’s marriage. Kutcher denied allegations that he cheated on Moore but their marriage still ended in divorce.

    And as if the revelation wasn’t shocking enough, Eastwood added that he thinks “it was the catalyst that broke him and Demi up.”

    The younger Eastwood claims that he’s not harboring any resentment towards Kutcher over the incident. After all, it happened years ago and the hunky star has clearly moved on and is enjoying better things.

    Eastwood’s latest movie The Longest Ride is already out and he’s also slated to appear in Suicide Squad next.

  • Lindsey Vonn Stands By Boyfriend Tiger Wood At Masters Tournament

    Like any regular girlfriend, Lindsey Vonn is standing, or in her case, walking by her man as she follows him around in his quest for another Masters jacket.

    The Olympic skier showed up during the third round of the golf tournament looking relaxed in a white knit top and matching jeans. Looking very fresh, Vonn completed her look with aviator shades, light make-up and straight blond locks.

    Woods’ girlfriend has been very supportive since this year’s Masters Tournament started, often being seen in the gallery quietly cheering him on as he struggles to stay in the game.

    The tournament has been a challenging one for Woods, so far. He ended the first day nine shots behind current leader Justin Spieth. Woods remained optimistic about his run but is preparing to be surprised.

    “We don’t know what the Masters is going to do, what they’re going to do with the greens or the golf course,” he explained. “You know how they like to change things every now and then.”

    Vonn knows only too well Woods’ situation as she herself went through the difficulties of working to come back to your A-game after being sidelined from injuries.

    The 30-year-old skier has already undergone two operations after blowing out her knee. But Vonn was able to successfully return to alpine skiing and won her seventh World Cup downhill title.

    “I’m so proud and happy, and I really have to thank the people that supported me and got me back to where I am now,” the American said. And Woods was one of those who has supported her.

    Despite her boyfriend’s struggles on the green, Vonn appears to be enjoying herself, as she roams around patiently in casual outfits. The only time the skier broke from her style was during The Masters Preview Day.

    Wearing a long, strappy, green gown which she accessorized with diamonds, the Olympic athlete was beaming as she walked behind Woods and his caddies for the day, daughter Sam and son Charlie.

  • Alexis Bortell: Texas 9-Year-Old Uses Marijuana To Cure Seizures

    Young Alexis Bortell is taking on Texas in her bid to legalize medical marijuana.

    The 9-year-old from Dallas started having seizures at the age of 7 and was eventually diagnosed with epilepsy. Her doctors initially prescribed medication but it didn’t do anything for her condition. At one point, it even made her worse.

    According to Alexis’ father Dean, a US Navy veteran, she was initially prescribed with Carbatrol. Her seizures went from “mainly at night to around the clock.” The next drug they tried, Depakote, gave the young girl tremors and altered her personality, but didn’t stop the seizures.

    The Bortell’s started looking into medical marijuana after watching “Weed 2,” a CNN documentary on medical marijuana. After doing their own research and consulting with specialists, Alexis was issued a “red card” in Colorado, allowing doctors to prescribe her with marijuana-based medication. The medication appears to be working.

    “Since the first dose, she has not had a single symptom or seizure and we’re on day 22 now,” her family wrote on Alexis’ Facebook page.

    Unfortunately, Alexis can’t use any marijuana-based medication in Texas. The state has banned its medical and recreational use and even has harsh penalties for those in possession of marijuana oils and tinctures, which are the most common form of medical marijuana.

    Despite Alexis’ appeal that she “don’t wanna leave Texas. I’m a Texas girl,” her family had no choice but to relocate to Colorado.

    Alexis and her family aren’t taking it sitting down though, as they continue to push Texas lawmakers to legalize the treatment.

    Several bills have already been proposed but advocates have described them as “appeasement legislation” that doesn’t really help people suffering from diseases that can be helped with medical marijuana.

    However, things might be looking up for the Bortells and other families like them. New medical marijuana bills from Texas representative Marisa Marquez and Senator Jose Menendez aim to provide patients with a wide range of conditions access to medical marijuana.

    If it’s successful, Alexis’s dream of going back home to Texas might finally come true.

  • Kendall Jenner Gets A Big ‘F–k You’ From Tyler The Creator At Coachella 2015

    The 19-year-old daughter of Kris and Bruce Jenner was called out by rapper Tyler the Creator in front of thousands on day 2 of Coachella 2015.

    The Odd Future rapper played a 50 minute set where he performed his hits “Yonkers,” “Tron Cat” and “Jamba.” But in a weird move, he also took the time to diss some of the stars in the VIP section. He called the people in the VIP section the “n****s that got money and paid extra.” He also described them as “boring” before assuring the people in the “real crowd” that they were cool and would be having a good time.

    “We got f*****g Kendall Jenner here,” the rapper said, pointing out the young model who was channeling the sexy gypsy look with her off-the-shoulder crop top and black maxi skirt.

    Tyler then called Kendall’s name several times, before saying “I’m over here to your right…f**k you.”

    The Keeping Up with the Kardashian star responded with a bit more class though, smiling broadly as she flipped Tyler the middle finger. She then followed it up with a more peaceful hand-heart gesture.

    She even shared a fan’s video of the rant on Twitter, saying “Love.”

    The Kardasahian clan has been surprisingly quiet about the incident, probably because they know it’s all in good fun as the two are apparently good friends.

    The rapper even tweeted Kendall after his performance, saying “PEOPLE REALLY THINK I HATE YOU LOVE HAHAHAH.”

    But why he decided to embarrass his good friend at Coachella is beyond me. It might be his way to calm his nerves before his big performance, something he admitted to having on Instagram.

    But all’s well that ends well with Kendall, who was seen partying her way through Coachella with sister Kylie and close friend Hailey Baldwin.

  • Bruce Jenner Says Goodbye To Former Self In Diane Sawyer Interview

    It has finally been confirmed. Bruce Jenner will be talking to Diane Sawyer about his decision to transition to a woman.

    ABC confirmed that the 2-hour Bruce Jenner: The Interview will be aired on April 24 and will discuss some “far-ranging” topics.

    Reports say that the highly-anticipated interview will act as the Olympian’s public “farewell to Bruce” as he embraces a new stage in his life.

    And to those who are wondering – no, the 65-year-old Jenner will not be dressing as a woman during the Sawyer sit down. But it will focus on “his mindset and journey to the present” and will give him a chance to explain how and why he has identified as female since the age of 5.

    Sources say that Jenner also hopes that by talking about his experience, he will help others avoid the difficulties he has dealt with.

    The interviews were conducted over a period of time and will also touch on the gold-medalist’s inner struggle and how his transition is affecting his family.

    There have been various reports stating that his ex-wife Kris Jenner is taking the transition badly, with sources stating that it’s “humiliating for her.”

    But in a surprise move, Kris and daughter Kourtney Kardashian were seen visiting Jenner at his new Malibu home on Wednesday.

    Kris looked grim in an all-black outfit while daughter Kourtney’s large shades reflected the same dark mood.

    The couple’s divorce, which has gotten a lot of print and air time, was finalized last December and both have reiterated their decision to stay supportive and committed to their family.

    “Even though we are separated, we will always remain best friends and, as always, our family will remain our number one priority,” the two said in a statement.

    And who knows, maybe Kris’ visit is a sign of that commitment.

  • Burt Reynolds To Auction ’77 Pontiac Trans Am From ‘Smokey And The Bandit’

    One of the most iconic cars in American movie history will be on the auction block this month.

    This year’s Spring Carlisle Auction event will be auctioning off a restored 1977 Pontiac Trans Am owned by Burt Reynolds.

    Running from April 23-24, the Spring Carlisle Auction will be held at the Carlisle Expo Center in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. More than 350 cars are consigned to be auctioned off during the 2 day event.

    Despite being among the 350 plus cars that will be on the block, this 1977 black on black Trans Am is guaranteed to turn heads. Aside from being designed to match the iconic vehicle from Smokey and the Bandit, the car is owned by the bandit himself – Burt Reynolds.

    Reynolds bought the car last year and had it carefully restored by close friend and Trans Am restoration whiz Harold Murphy of Murphy Auto Body and Restoration out on West Palm Beach, Florida.

    The restored car has since been part of Reynolds’ collection and is expected to be the last of his cars that will be auctioned off.

    The car’s successful bidder will receive the Florida DMV title that testifies it’s owned by the Smokey and the Bandit star. The Trans Am also carries Reynolds’ autograph on its dashboard and hood, and the new owner will also receive an autographed hat and jacket that the star wore during a photo shoot.

    But how much should serious car collectors shell out for this particular Trans Am? Based on Trans Am expert Rick Deiters’ explanation, it’s going to be a lot.

    “To find an authentic black on black 1977 TA Special Edition proves to be a mission because only a limited amount of them were produced,” explained Deiters.

    “In 2014 alone, ones in museum quality condition sold for over $100,000 and in December of 2014, another ‘77 Trans Am from Reynolds’ collection sold for $450,000,” he added.

    And that Trans Am wasn’t in as pristine condition as the one that’s currently up for grabs.

  • Kendall Jenner Graces Cover Of Harper’s Bazaar, Works With Karl Lagerfeld

    Kendall Jenner has been steadily making a name for herself in the fashion scene. Now, with a 10-page spread in Harper’s Bazaar, the reality show star has established herself as a key player in the business.

    The 19-year-old graces the cover of Harper’s Bazaar’s May issue and is also featured in the magazine’s annual beauty edition.

    Kendall is all glammed up in the photos, wearing elaborate pieces straight from Chanel’s fall-winter 2015 collection. More impressively, the eye-catching photos were taken by no less than Chanel’s head honcho himself, Karl Lagerfeld.

    The two have unexpectedly developed a unique and strong friendship, something that surprised even the young Kendall, especially after how she initially felt around the design icon.

    “I’m really shy when I first meet someone- and to meet him was even worse. He would say something to me and I would just nod. It was like meeting a crush or something – I was mute,” Kendall confessed. “And then every time we’d see each other, it would just get better and better. Now we’re totally BFFs.”

    It’s a good thing too, as Lagerfeld seems to be helping Kendall become a better model.

    “I’ve actually learned to be a better model,” she admitted. “Whenever I shoot with him, he gives me some tips, little things, pointers.”

    Aside from fashion, Kendall also talks about her famous family and her model-friends in the accompanying article. She admits that despite walking the runways of some pretty high-profile brands, Kendall still looks up to big sister Kim’s fashion style.

    “I really admire Kim’s style. It’s insane. She really knows how to work her style with her body,” Kendall gushes. “It’s so fun to be in Paris with her, but I’ll walk out and be like ‘Oh, my God, I love my outfit,’ and then I’ll see Kim and I’ll be like, ‘My outfit sucks compared to yours!’”

    Kendall also dishes about hanging out with looker Cara Delevingne and other models, as well as her plans to stay in the fashion industry.

    You can read more about it when the issue hits stands on April 21.

  • 19 Kids and Counting: Jill Duggar And Derick Dillard Welcome Their First Child

    The Duggar family just keeps getting bigger. Aside from 19 kids, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar also have a new grandson.

    Jill Duggar and husband Derick Dillard welcomed their first child, Israel David Dillard late Monday night. It was a long wait for the couple as baby Israel was born more than 2 weeks past his due date. But everything ended well as the new mom and her baby are both doing well.

    While the new parents have already announced the happy news, Tuesday’s episode of 19 Kids and Counting showed how the Dillard’s prepared for the birth. The couple initially planned to have a home birth and the episode showed them attending weekly birthing classes.

    The episode also showed the Dillard’s finally finding out the gender of their baby and having a family “gender reveal” party.

    At the party, the younger Duggar kids hit a question mark-shaped piñata until it broke open and scattered blue-colored candies.

    On a poignant note, Derick Dillard’s mom Cathy wasn’t able to join the festivities as she was undergoing cancer treatment in Omaha. But receiving the happy news about her first grandchild gave the brave mother “all the more motivation to get home.”

    The recent episode also showed the family doing some re-organization of their own.

    Fans know that every child in the household is assigned a “designation” – a set of chores that they’re charged to do. But with the new baby, as well as Jessa leaving the family home after getting married, changes have to be made.

    17-year-old Joy Anna is now assigned as the official delegator of chores, and promptly drew flak from her siblings when she assigned 5-year-old Josie to collect the laundry every day. It’s a good thing she has lots of older brothers and sisters who’ll help her with it.

    Like any other family, the Duggars are certainly experiencing big changes and additions in their household. It won’t come as a surprise to fans if the show’s name will be changed to 19 Kids, 3 Grandkids and Counting.

  • ‘DWTS’: Rumer Willis Says She Was Bullied For Having Masculine Features

    Rumer Willis opened up about how hard it was being the daughter of one of the most beautiful women in the world.

    The Dancing with the Stars contestant has been getting positive reviews on the dance floor and gave another inspired performance last April 6. But it was her sincere and open video segment that really tugged at the audience’s heartstrings.

    The 26-year-old daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis talked about being bullied as a teenager and how she even thought that plastic surgery was the answer to her woes.

    “When I was a teenager I was super awkward,” she admitted. “I don’t think I really felt comfortable in my body or with how I looked and people were nasty.”

    The fact that her mother is Demi Moore didn’t help either.

    “My mom, who is one of the most stunning women I’ve ever met and who everyone was comparing me to, saying that you look more like your very masculine father than your beautiful mom,” Rumer reflected.

    The young actress said that she even considered getting plastic surgery to look more “womanly” as a means to end the bullying.

    But it was her family that saved her in the end, particularly her younger sister Tallulah. Rumer said that even though her sister was in rehab her mindset was – “Here are my flaws and it’s OK. I’m still me and I’m still beautiful and it doesn’t matter.”

    Rumer was inspired to take a page from her sister’s book and realized that “I could feel the same way and I need to stop listening to the bullies.”

    The emotional video brought people to tears, including Rumer’s mother Demi and sister Tallulah who were in the audience, along with close family friend Glen Close.

    Rumer then ended the night on a high note by dancing the waltz flawlessly and garnering a high score of 35 out of 40.

    Her dance partner Valentin Chmerkovskiy also got emotional during Rumer’s confession and had high praises for the young actress.

    “She’s awesome; she’s a great friend. Just on so many other levels besides the dance floor, I think she’s such an incredible person,” he said. “I’m glad that America gets to see that.”

  • Olivia Wilde And Garrett Hedlund Will Return To The Grid For ‘Tron 3’

    It looks like Tron 3 is really happening, and stars Olivia Wilde and Garrett Hedlund are said to be ready to reprise their roles as Quorra and Sam Flynn respectively.

    Tron: Legacy director Joseph Kosinski is also back as he promised. Production is slated to begin later this year in Vancouver.

    The original Tron was released in 1982 and it’s still a mystery why it took Hollywood almost 30 years before coming out with a sequel to the sci-fi classic. But the industry seems to have learned its lesson and just a mere 5 years after Legacy came out, Tron 3 is reportedly in the works. Tron fans around the world are undoubtedly rejoicing.

    The first Tron took place inside a computer universe known as The Grid and starred Jeff Bridges and Bruce Boxleitner. While it wasn’t one of Disney’s more lucrative films, it became a cult classic and had a strong impact on pop culture and younger directors.

    2010’s Tron: Legacy picked up where the original left off, with Jeff Bridges breathing life into his character Kevin Flynn again. This time around, it’s his son Sam (portayed by Garrett Hedlund) who arrived on The Grid to look for his father. Wilde plays Quorra, Kevin’s apprentice and the last ISO alive.

    Like its predecessor, Legacy didn’t shine at the box office but still generated a persistent cult following (although the Daft Punk soundtrack might have a hand in this).

    While fans are stoked that the next Tron is finally coming to fruition, there’s very little concrete information about the movie.

    Aside from the rumors that it will be shot in Vancouver, the franchise’s final installment is said to be titled as Tron: Ascension or Tron: Redemption and will tie in with how Legacy ended – with Hedlund and Wilde’s characters back in the “real world.”

    And like all Tron news, no definite release date has been set yet. But fans are predicting that they’ll be back on The Grid by 2018 at the latest.

  • Jerry Seinfeld Is No. 1 On Billboard Thanks To A Rap ‘Album About Nothing’

    Comedian Jerry Seinfield and rapper Wale might be the oddest odd couple out there, but their collaboration “The Album About Nothing” is No.1 on Billboard this week.

    The album is the American rapper’s fourth studio album and the third album inspired by Seinfield’s trademark observational comedy. Wale’s Mixtape About Nothing was released in 2007 and was followed by More About Nothing in 2010.

    And as the title playfully hints, Wales new release is still heavily inspired by the TV legend. The album still includes dialogue from the trailblazing series and all 14 cuts in the album starts with “The,” just like every episode in the comedy. The cover art is also reminiscent of the Seinfield logo.

    Seinfield doesn’t sing in the album though, but acts as its “narrator” by offering some sharp and insightful remarks on every track.

    “He laid the foundation of most of the songs, so in the concept of the album, he’s the other voice,” Wale explained.

    Even with Seinfield’s collaboration, Wale’s fourth offering goes to some pretty dark places. In it, the 31-year-old rapper shares his feelings about his cousin’s death and a former girlfriend’s miscarriage.

    “That was a tough period for me. It was a struggle for me after those incidents. Everything almost happened at once,” Wale admitted. He said he turned to drugs after falling into a depression over those events.

    But how did Wale, a self-confessed big Seinfield fan, convince the comedian to work on his album? He was lucky enough to meet Seinfield’s wife Jessica.

    “She’s a big hip-hop fan and of my music,” Wale revealed about the cookbook author. “She was the middle man on a lot of things because Jerry is super busy. He’s not an easy person to reach. But she was able to put it all together.”

    The strange friendship that developed between the two is certainly bearing fruit. Album About Nothing debuted at No.1 and according to Billboard, has already sold “100,000 equivalent album units.” It’s followed by the soundtrack of Furious 7.

  • Emma Stone And Andrew Garfield: Is Their Relationship Really Over?

    When Emma Stone flew solo at the Golden Globes and Academy Awards earlier this year, everybody knew that something was up. Recently, several reports claimed that the actress is going through a rough patch with boyfriend Andrew Garfield but their statements are unclear. Some sources assert that the two are simply taking a breather from their three-year relationship while others say that they have already called it quits.

    According to People, Stone and Garfield are simply “on a break” due to distance. Garfield is currently in Taiwan for the filming of Martin Scorsese’s Silence while the actress was most recently seen on the other side of the world in Los Angeles. Stone is reportedly spending time with her brother after finishing the production of her new film Aloha.

    A source told People that it’s too soon to conclude that the two’s relationship is over. He explained, “Emma understands his (Garfield’s) work anxieties – it’s why she originally pulled out of Cabaret last year and only did it this year – but they’re taking a break from seeing each other. They’re both a slave to their schedules.”

    International Business Times also pointed out that Garfield is presently absorbed in his role as a Jesuit priest in Silence. They reported that the actor is in a “dark place mentally” and has lost weight. He has gotten too invested in his role that “he’s not boyfriend material right now.”

    Meanwhile, Hollywood Life claims that the two have already split. They wrote that the two were “going on their separate ways” and that they will be happier for their decision.

    “They had been fighting a lot and they hadn’t seen each other. They have both been working but they weren’t getting along,” the source revealed.

    At this point, no one can exactly tell what Stone and Garfield’s relationship status is except for the two who have remained silent about the issues surrounding them. People’s source agrees with this explaining, “It’s one of those situations where only Andrew and Emma quite know if they’ll pick up where they left off or they’ve separated.”

    Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield met on the filming of The Amazing Spider-Man where Garfield played the role of the superhero and Stone took on the part of his love interest. They started dating in the fall of 2011 and were last photographed together in New York around early January.

  • Charlotte McKinney: Topless And Sexy In Black And White [Photo]

    Charlotte McKinney doesn’t seem to be too bothered about being booted out of Dancing with the Stars recently.

    Soon after she was eliminated, the model posted a sizzling black and white photo on Instagram that showed her posing in a pair of striped trousers, and nothing else. The photo was shot by photographer Neave Bozorgi who took some artistic nudes of the model.

    Known for her sexy Instagram feed, McKinney only lasted three weeks on DWTS. But those were very controversial weeks, with reports that the swimsuit model walked out after being bullied for her figure and her partner lashing out at her for not practicing.


    Her elimination was also controversial when DWTS judge Bruno Tonioli suddenly said “You’re never going to win the Nobel prize for quantum physics, but you are easy on the eyes and you produce wonderful shapes.”

    Not surprisingly, the comment drew a lot of criticism from viewers who claimed that Tonioli, who’s known for his irreverent comments, went too far.

    The model also spoke out against Tonioli’s comment, saying “I just believe it was super uncalled for.”

    In contrast, McKinney’s dance partner Keo Motsepe wasn’t too happy with the elimination and claimed she spent more time on her phone trying to book photo shoots than practicing, something that McKinney seems to have inadvertently confirmed.

    “After shooting all day or any press all day and then going to practice you’re just emotionally, physically drained,” McKinney explained. “I just think I had too much stress during all this and I didn’t get to focus.”

    Even though her dance career fizzled before it even began, McKinney can still go back to what she does best – posing for sexy photos. The topless photographic art Neave Bozorgi took of her will be featured in an issue of The Hundreds. She’s also set to star in the upcoming Joe Dirt 2 with David Spade.

  • Kurt Russell’s Role In ‘Fast And Furious 7’ Suggests A New Direction For Franchise

    Fast & Furious 7 ripped through the box office furiously this week, garnering a staggering $384 million in sales worldwide.

    The latest in the Fast franchise has been widely anticipated by fans not just for the ridiculously amazing car scenes (which are to be expected), but also for how it handled the late Paul Walker’s character.

    Moviegoers got more than that with the introduction of new favorite Mr. Nobody, portrayed by Kurt Russell.

    Russell’s character in Fast & Furious 7 is so enigmatic that he literally has no name! He’s a Nobody with some serious connections in the government and who can just swoop down in the midst of the action just to make it his own.

    The character is not just some bureaucrat in the office either. Mr. Nobody orchestrates and funds that pretty complex mission of acquiring a sports car from the top of a Dubai superstructure. The government spook even joins our protagonists in taking down Jason Statham’s Deckard Shaw.

    Russell is the perfect actor to portray Mr. Nobody. The 63-year-old actor has got the looks and the charm. Plus he’s no stranger to action movies, having portrayed anti-hero Snake Plissken in Escape from New York and Escape from LA.

    With those credentials, it’s no wonder that Russell was given a lot of screen time and Dwayne Johnson’s character Luke Hobbs mostly sat out the action scenes.

    Fans are saying it’s a sign that the franchise is going to go in another direction. For while Johnson’s character was very effective in reviving the flagging franchise, it seems like it’s time to pass the baton to Mr. Nobody.

    Star Vin Diesel alluded as much. In a recent interview, the buff star mentioned that Russell’s character will be more fleshed out in the next movie and that Furious 8 might be set in New York.

    Aside from Russell’s character, there have also been reports that the next Fast & Furious will also see another familiar face in the foray. Actress Eva Mendes is said to be reprising her role as US Customs Agent Monica Fuentes.

    Of course, these are all speculations right now but it does give fans something to chew on while they wait for the next installment of their favorite car-wrecking movie.
