  • Carol Burnett Criticizes Modern Sitcoms, Receives SAG Lifetime Achievement Award

    Comedienne and TV personality Carol Burnett shared her thoughts on the present state of comedy as she sat for an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

    Burnett, who received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Saturday evening, could not help but notice how much modern comedy has changed. She said much of today’s sitcom’s “sound like they’ve been written by teenage boys in a locker room.”

    While there is nothing wrong with sitcoms being edgy, she admitted she misses the old classic way of delivering jokes.

    “I am kind of bored of producers saying, ‘It’s got to be edgy.’ Edgy is fine — I’m not a prude by any stretch of the imagination — but what’s wrong with a good ol’ belly laugh? I miss that,” Burnett shared.

    Producers wanted sitcoms to be fast and Carol Burnett thinks because of this trend, “some of the writing isn’t good anymore.”

    “A lot of comedy today is so fast — it’s like: “Boom! Boom! Boom!” — because they think people can’t pay enough attention,” observed the 82-year-old comedienne.

    Burnett faced a lot of discouragement before she became a comedy icon just because she was a woman. In her acceptance speech at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, she shared the discrimination she experienced as a woman trying to make a name in the comedy department.

    She hosted the comedy variety series The Carol Burnett Show but revealed the network wanted something different. Carol Burnett was told to do a half-hour sitcom called Here Comes Agnes but she refused. She revealed that she was constantly told by the network that comedy variety was not for girls. “They said, ‘Carol, no, no, no no, look. All the comedy variety shows are hosted by men,” Burnett recalled.

    Fortunately, Carol Burnett did not give up. The Carol Burnett Show won 25 Emmy Awards during its 11-year run.

  • Leslie Mann And Dakota Johnson Flirt Like Pros With Reporter During Press Junket

    Leslie Mann and Dakota Johnson have found a way to make humdrum press junkets a little more interesting.

    The two lovely actresses were out promoting their upcoming comedy film, How to Be Single, when they found themselves being interviewed by a rather attractive reporter. Seeing an opportunity to change the pace of the usual question-and-answer routine without compromising the promotion of the film, they proceeded to hit on him instead.

    The reporter, whose name is Chris Van Vliet from WSVN Miami, seemed to be to enjoying himself at the beginning of the interview, when Leslie Mann complimented him about his socks and said he was handsome.

    “Are you single?” asked Mann, to which Johnson followed with a classic, “Do you work out a lot?”

    At that point, the interview had officially been hijacked, more so when Leslie Mann asks him to take off his shirt. When the reporter jokingly responds, “Which one?” Dakota Johnson quickly says, “All of them.”

    After settling with unbuttoning three of his shirt buttons, Van Vliet tries to continue the interview by trying out a couple of pick-up lines on the two female stars.

    “Are you Google? Because you’re exactly what I’ve been searching for,” to which Leslie Mann and Dakota Johnson immediately expressed their disapproval.

    “Don’t ever say that again,” said Johnson. “That’s terrible,” said Mann.

    However, the reporter managed to redeem himself with another pick-up line: ““I don’t have a library card but can I check you out,” which probably earned their nods more for the delivery rather than the line itself.

    Leslie Mann, Rebel Wilson, and Dakota Johnson Star in ‘How to Be Single’

    The film is based on the novel of the same name, which was written by Liz Tuccillo – the same woman who co-wrote the self-help book, He’s Just Not That Into You and the 2005 TV series, Related. How to Be Single stars Leslie Mann, Dakota Johnson, Rebel Wilson, and Alison Brie, and is set to hit theaters on February 12.

  • Gwen Stefani And Blake Shelton: Making Miranda Lambert Jealous?

    Gwen Stefani and Miranda Lambert are on good terms despite rumors that Lambert does not want to see any news about her ex-husband Blake Shelton and fellow Voice coach Stefani, who are currently dating.

    Some sources claim that Lambert told an assistant to tear out all news articles about Shelton and Stefani before she reads them as the country songstress is not happy seeing photographs of the new couple.

    “Unable to stand hearing of the “happy couple,” she’s ordered an aide to intercept all her mags and newspapers and slash every last Blake/Gwen story or photo! She never, ever wants to lay eyes on those lovebirds again,” an insider spilled.

    However, the said report was not true as Stefani and Lambert follow each other on social media. They may not be close friends but both women respect one another, according to a source close to the singers involved.

    “Gwen and Miranda are actually big fans of each others’ music and respect each other as artists. Miranda has always thought very highly of Gwen and thinks she is an extremely talented artist,” spilled the source, adding Stefani is not the type of woman to be catty at all.

    Contrary to what the rumors are saying, the source stated that Miranda Lambert is happy for Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton, although she would probably feel a little hurt if the couple gets married and builds a family soon.

    “The tears are long gone. Miranda seeing Blake having his relationship with Gwen out in the open has eventually become more of a healing process for her,” the source told Hollywoodlife.com adding, “Admittedly, though, if Blake has a child with Gwen or gets married to Gwen, that will hit a little hard.”

    While Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani are enjoying their newfound love, Miranda Lambert just confirmed her relationship with fellow country singer Anderson East last month.

  • ‘Teen Mom OG’ Star Amber Portwood Finds Out About Her Fiancé’s Seven Children

    Monday’s episode of Teen Mom OG was filled with tears, drama, and shocking news to say the least. The teen moms are struggling to maintain harmony within their respective households, with the exception of Maci Bookout, who managed to keep things civil with her ex for their son’s birthday party.

    Maci and her current boyfriend, Taylor, put together a party for her son Bentley’s 7th birthday at a local bowling alley. Ryan, who showed up with a huge birthday present, even carried Maci’s 7-month old daughter with Ryan. Despite their differences, Maci looked happy to see her son having fun, and even allowed him to stay over at his dad’s house for the night.

    Meanwhile, things aren’t going so well at teen mom Amber Portwood’s home. She and her fiancé, Matt Baier, recently purchased a home together and are busy making renovations and planning their wedding. Amidst her hectic schedule, her ex-boyfriend Gary Shirley drops a bomb that could potentially change her future plans with Matt.

    In the teaser, Amber can be seen driving by Gary’s house to drop off their daughter, Leah – of whom they share custody – and being met by her ex at the front porch along with a camera crew.

    Gary then called for Amber to step out of the car to show her legal documents that prove that Matt actually has seven children as opposed to the two that Amber is aware of.

    The 25-year-old Indiana native reportedly confronted Matt during the entire drive home after which he finally blew up once they pulled into their driveway. He then lashed out at the Teen Mom producers and camera crew and ordered them to leave their house immediately.

    “Get your shit and get the f**k out of MY house,” said Matt, who did not deny Gary’s allegations that he has seven children.

    Amber and Matt have since released a video on the Teen Mom web page, saying that have decided to address the issue by staying together and rebuilding their relationship. They also slammed Gary for releasing the information in a “tasteless” manner that was only intended to get publicity.

  • Stacey Dash Gets Schooled By Kids Regarding Black History Month

    Stacey Dash has managed – in a short span of time – to be one of the most hated celebrities of our time. Ever since she officially turned conservative in 2008 and actively campaigned for then-presidential candidate Mitt Romney, she also became very vocal about her dislike of liberals and the Obama administration. Naturally, her outspoken views eventually landed her a gig as a contributor on Fox News.

    She’s really done it this time, with her recent comments about why black-oriented events and organizations should be eliminated because they “further divide us” as Americans.

    In the January 20 episode of Fox & Friends, Stacey Dash appeared to comment on the Oscar boycott controversy started by actress Jada Pinkett Smith. Calling the whole thing “ludicrous,” the Clueless actress went on to explain why she disapproves of these culture-based institutions.

    Stacey Dash Made Some Controversial Comments About BET and Black History Month

    “Either we want to have segregation or integration,” said Stacey Dash, who is of Bajan, African-American, and Mexican descent. “And if we don’t want segregation, then we need to get rid of channels like BET and the BET Awards and the Image Awards, where you’re only awarded if you’re black. If it were the other way around, we would be up in arms. It’s a double standard.”

    As expected, celebrities from the film, music, and television industries reacted to her comments, with most of them slamming her and a few others expressing their support.

    Her latest set of critics consist of several African-American children that were gathered by the non-profit organization, Because of Them We Can. In the one-minute video that was uploaded to YouTube, the kids express their shock at the suggestions of Stacey Dash, and proceed to explain why they think that Black History Month should stay.

    “It forces us to talk about our amazing history and it didn’t begin with slavery, no negativity, no stereotypes, all excellence because that’s who and what we are,” said one of the kids.

    A young boy looked into the camera, as if addressing Stacey Dash directly, and said, “We’re not cancelling anything, so you have to rock with us for 29 days.”

  • Eve Plumb, Of ‘Brady Bunch’ Fame, Returns To TV With ‘Grease: Live Cast’

    The Brady Bunch star Eve Plumb will be singing along with the cast of Fox’s Grease: Live as she plays the role of teacher, Mrs. Murdock.

    Eve Plumb is best known for her role as middle child Jan Brady on the ‘70s ABC TV series The Brady Bunch. Plumb appeared on various TV shows and films in the last 50 years. She has been acting since she was six years old when she first appeared in a fabric softener ad.

    Eve Plumb Played Jan Brady on the Iconic TV show ‘The Brady Bunch’

    Plumb will take on the role of Mrs. Murdock, the owner of the garage where the T-Birds work on their “Greased Lightning” car. Appearing in a musical show is nothing new for the versatile actress as she has already done some musical theater.

    “I played Sandy in a production of ‘Grease’ that Fran Drescher produced,” says Eve Plumb. She admitted that she “actually came to singing and dancing really late” and it took her some time to feel comfortable with it but it helped her land several musicals.

    Eve Plumb Talks About Joining the Cast of ‘Grease: Live’

    Mrs. Murdock was originally played by Alice Ghostly in the John Travolta-Olivia Newton-John film. With her experience in TV and theater, it became easy for Plumb to adjust for the live musical telecast.

    “It is being done like a theater production but there is that psychology that millions are watching. In the end, whether you are acting in a theater or in front of cameras, you just forget all of that and do the work,” explains the 57-year-old actress. She hopes that this project will spark an interest in people to do theater.

    Today, besides acting, Eve Plumb works as a painter with her art being showcased at galleries across the U.S.

    The TV Musical ‘Grease: Live’ Premiered on Fox on Jan. 31

    Grease: Live also stars Dancing with the Stars champion Julianne Hough, Broadway actor Aaron Tveit High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens, singer-talk show host Keke Palmer, and pop singer Carly Re Jepsen.

  • Nicole Kidman May Have Worn The Ugliest Dress At The 2016 SAG Awards

    Nicole Kidman is arguably one of the most beautiful actresses in Hollywood, but that hasn’t made her exempt from being one of this year’s ‘Worst Dressed’ at the 2016 Screen Actors Guild Awards.

    The 48-year-old Australian beauty appeared on the red carpet with husband Keith Urban wearing a unique tiered dress by Gucci. The frilly gown featured glittery layers of pinks and purples that cascaded and evoked a sort of relaxed, Bohemian vibe. Fashion critics were divided on her dress choice, with some saying that the pastel color scheme complements Kidman’s complexion beautifully, while others say that the design was too “busy” and that she over-accessorized.

    Another A-list actress that made it to the list was Julianne Moore, who donned a bright green sequin dress by Givenchy. While the color enhanced her fair complexion and red locks, the fit of the dress did nothing for her figure.

    Actress – and SAG winner – Brie Larson also made an interesting choice for the red carpet, earning her a spot on the Worst Dressed list. The Room star wore a baby blue Grecian-inspired dress from the latest Atelier Versace collection. The gown featured an array of unconventional twists and knots, as well as a bizarre neckline and bright orange strap at the back that resembled a duffel bag strap. Nevertheless, the confusing design of the dress did not prevent people from admiring Larson’s gorgeous figure.

    Over the years, Nicole Kidman has made fashion hits and misses in awards shows. But despite another lackluster showing in this year’s SAG Awards – in which she was nominated for her performance in the critically bashed TV film, Grace of Monaco – the actress looked happy and glowing at the event.

    Keith Urban Compliments Wife Nicole Kidman on the Red Carpet of the 2016 SAG Awards

    Perhaps, it’s because her husband, rock singer Keith Urban showered her with affection the entire night. When asked by an E! News correspondent Giuliana Rancic who he would choose among Grace Kelly, Marilyn Monroe, and Nicole Kidman, Urban gave the right answer.

    “You can’t choose me,” a visibly blushing Nicole Kidman said. “It’s Marilyn or Grace.”

    Legendary supermodel, Cindy Crawford will soon say goodbye to the modeling world.

    Crawford, who has been modeling for more than 30 years, opened up to United Airlines’ Rhapsody magazine about her plans to retire from modeling once she turns 50.

    “I’ve done it. I’ve worked with all these incredible photographers. What else do I need to do?” the model told the magazine.

    Crawford, who was one of the most sought-after models of the ‘90s, was discovered by a model scout in Dekalb, Illinois, when she was just 16 years old. She was named the world’s top-paid model in 1995, earning $6.5 million in annual income.

    She has been featured on countless fashion magazine covers, and also tried her had at acting. She landed a role in the film, Fair Game and showed off her hosting skills on MTV’s House of Style. Cindy Crawford also released an autobiography called Becoming, in which she talks about being told that she always looked like she had chocolate on her face because of her facial mole. In her book, she shared her personal journey from a bullied teen to a confident and successful model.

    “What else do I need to do? I can’t keep reinventing myself,” Crawford said. “I shouldn’t have to keep proving myself. I don’t want to,” she explained, knowing she had already proven herself in the entertainment industry.

    Cindy Crawford has two children: Kaia Jordan Gerber, 14, an aspiring model and Presely Walker Gerber. She is married to restaurant owner Rande Gerber, a close pal of George Clooney’s. She was previously married to actor Richard Gere from 1991-1995.

  • Kate Del Castillo: Sean Penn Lied About The ‘Rolling Stone’ Interview

    Kate del Castillo, the Mexican actress who arranged the covert meeting between Sinaloa drug lord El Chapo and award-winning actor Sean Penn, is mad about Penn’s Rolling Stone article as she reportedly had no idea the actor was planning to publish his meeting with the fugitive.

    Del Castillo was said to have set up the meeting between Penn and Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, believing they were about to discuss a movie about the drug lord’s life. However, Penn surprised the Mexican star when he told her that they came to do an interview with her, multiple sources close to the Mexican actress said.

    El Chapo’s lawyer’s allegedly contacted the actress because the drug kingpin wanted to discuss a possible movie project about his life. Kate del Castillo invited two film directors and one of them allegedly contacted Penn to join them. Del Castillo thought Penn could help so she agreed to include the actor and let him meet the fugitive.

    Prior to the meeting, Rolling Stone reportedly gave Penn and the two other filmmakers a letter that made their assignment official. This gave the three men immunity from any legal consequences as they were acting as journalists. However, the letter excluded del Castillo.

    Del Castillo said she felt betrayed by Penn and that she was put in danger because of the surprise interview.

    Sources close to Sean Penn claimed that del Castillo knew about the interview and the actor had allegedly informed her about his plans before they met the sought-after drug lord.

    The article about El Chapo was published the day after the Mexican drug leader was recaptured by the authorities. Their meeting with the Sinaloa cartel leader was essential in tracking the kingpin’s whereabouts.

    Meanwhile, the Mexican government stated that it has no plans to investigate Sean Penn, Kate del Castillo, and the two filmmakers, but would be probing into the circumstances of the secret meeting.

  • Alexandria Zahra Jones, David Bowie’s Daughter, To Inherit A Fortune From The Late Rock Icon’s Estate

    Alexandria Zahra Jones certainly is a lucky girl to have a legendary father who was loved by many and who loved her very much.

    Even in death, David Bowie showed great generosity to the people he loved and cared about. His will, which was signed in August of 2004, was finally filed on Friday afternoon in a courthouse in Manhattan. According to a report by The New York Times, the 20-page document distributes his roughly $100 million estate among his immediate family and a couple of loyal employees.

    Bowie, whose real name was David Jones, directed his executors to grant half of his fortune to his wife Iman, and the other half to his two children. The 60-year-old supermodel and businesswoman will be receiving her inheritance from Bowie’s attorneys in quarterly installments.

    Meanwhile, his eldest child, Duncan Jones will get his 25% share upfront. Duncan is a 44-year-old film director whose mother is actress Angela Barnett.

    His youngest child and only daughter, 15-year-old Alexandria Zahra Jones – or Lexi to her family and friends – will also receive $25 million, although she will have to wait until she turns 25 to gain access to it. Bowie also gave her his vacation property in upstate New York, which will also be hers on her 25th birthday.

    He also left $2 million to his long-time personal assistant Corinne “Coco” Schwab, whom he also named guardian of Lexi in the event that Iman dies before she turns 18. Duncan’s former nanny, a Swiss woman named Marion Skene also received $1 million from the will.

    Apart from the division of his fortune, David Bowie also indicated how the family is to manage his remains.

    A Buddhist for most of his adult life, Bowie requested that his body be taken to the Indonesian island of Bali and “cremated there in accordance with the Buddhist rituals.”

    “If that is not practical, then I direct that my executors shall arrange for my remains to be cremated and my ashes scattered in Bali,” the will further stated.

    The late “Changes” singer succumbed to liver cancer last month at the age of 69, just two days after the release of his album, Blackstar. He was known for being extremely low-key and private, and was rarely seen out except for when he walked his daughter, Alexandria Zahra Jones to school.

  • Anjali Ramkissoon Feels Ashamed For Attacking Uber Driver, Miami Doctor Apologizes On ‘GMA’

    Anjali Ramkissoon, the infamous doctor who was caught on video physically and verbally attacked an Uber driver in Miami last week has appeared on TV to apologize for her behavior.

    The 30-year-old doctor showed up on Good Morning America and took responsibility for her actions and explained the reason behind the incident.

    “I see a person that is not me,” Ramkissoon told GMA host George Stephanopoulos. “I’m ashamed. I still can’t watch the entire video.”

    She revealed that prior to the altercation, she learned that her father had been taken to a hospital and her boyfriend of two years had broken up with her.

    The young neurologist admitted that she had been drinking moments before the squabble. Ramkissoon took another person’s Uber and started to behave violently when the driver refused to drive her. She threw the driver’s belongings out of his car including his cellphone, mail, and receipts.

    She yelled expletives and tried to kick the driver in the groin as he tried to calm her down.

    “It was probably one of the worst days of my life. I was caught at my lowest moment,” Anjali Ramkissoon said admitting that her personal problems were not excuse to behave that way.

    Ramkissoon, a fourth year neurology resident at the Jackson Health Systems, was put on paid administrative leave after the video went viral.

    “There’s absolutely no excuse for my actions,” she told Stephanopoulos on Wednesday, “I’m ashamed. I’m so sorry. I’ve hurt so many people.”

    The Uber driver did not seek any legal action against Ramkissoon. She said they have already settled the issue and that she has apologized to the driver and paid for the damages she caused to his car.

  • Amber Rose Gets In On The Wiz-Kanye Twitter Feud

    Amber Rose is officially part of the Twitter feud between her ex-partners Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa, and she seems to have stolen the show.

    The 32-year-old actress and model got involved in a social media fight between the two rappers when West misinterpreted Khalifa’s tweet as a diss towards his wife, Kim Kardashian-West.

    The tweet that started it all was actually a dig at West for changing the title of his new album from Swish to Waves.

    The “kk” refers to a marijuana strain, but West mistakenly thought that Khalifa was insulting his wife, Kim. As a result, he started an epic Twitter rant that involved Amber Rose and her two-year-old son with Khalifa.

    The tweets, which have all been deleted since, said, “You let a stripper trap you,” “I know you mad every time you look at your child that this girl got you for 18 years,” and ““You wouldn’t have a child if it wasn’t for me.”

    Not one to stand down when she’s being disparaged, Amber Rose clapped back by tweeting, “Awww @kanyewest are u mad I’m not around to play in ur asshole anymore? #FingersInTheBootyAssBitch☝”

    Since their bitter split, the former lovers have exchanged barbs over the years, and West’s insults almost always focused on Rose’s past as a stripper.

    The day after West’s Twitter tirade, Amber Rose penned a rather eloquent op-ed for Time, in which she talked about the way she faces people who slut-shame her for her job history and failed relationships with West and Khalifa.

    Entitled Amber Rose: How I Learned to Stop Caring What People Think, the article details Rose’s slut-shaming experiences that date as far as high school.

    “Ever since high school, I’ve been called a slut,” said Rose. “”All the boys were attracted to me — that wasn’t my fault! Then, when I started getting famous, the shaming got even worse.”

    She also mentioned falling victim to a double standard when she started dating after her split with Khalifa.

    In an interview with the podcast Allegedly, Amber Rose pointed out West’s choice to involve her child in his argument with Khalifa.

    “I would never talk about kids in an argument,” said Amber Rose. “It just shows the type of person he is.”

    Rodriguez, 31, plays a new mother who got pregnant after a doctor artificially inseminated her by accident. The actress said she felt a strange connection with the baby on the set as soon as she cuddled it. “I feel like they bring the baby up to me on set and my ovaries are like, “Ahh! Come here, baby!’” Gina Rodriguez shared to Ellen.

  • Jenelle Evans Gets Shade From Kailyn Lowry For Comments On Her Plastic Surgery

    Jenelle Evans is involved in yet another feud with a fellow Teen Mom 2 cast member, and this time it’s with Kailyn Lowry.

    The online feud was sparked by a recent interview that Evans had done with Us Weekly, in which she talked about her past surgeries to make up for her physical insecurities and her decision to take a more natural route in enhancing her looks.

    She also commented on Lowry’s new figure, saying that “she looks great.”

    “I’m happy [for her],” said Jenelle Evans. “Whatever makes her happy. That’s her choice. It’s just not mine. It’s her decision. It’s her body. No one can tell her what to do.”

    Like other Teen Mom stars including Jenelle Evans and Farrah Abraham, Kailyn Lowry decided to take the plunge and get a “full-body makeover” through plastic surgery. In an Instagram post, she shared a photo of herself standing next to Michael “Dr. Miami” Salhauzer, who happens to be the same surgeon that Jenelle Evans consulted for her chin implant surgery. Evans eventually backed out of the procedure because she said her boyfriend was opposed to it.

    Dr. Miami y’all! @therealdrmiami @drmiamiland

    A photo posted by Kailyn Lowry (@kaillowry) on

    Lowry looked noticeably svelte and curvaceous in the Instagram post, which she captioned: “Dr. Miami y’all! @therealdrmiami @drmiamiland”

    But despite the compliment that Evans gave to Lowry, Eavns believes that it was actually a subtle way of criticizing her choice to get extensive plastic surgery.

    Lowry took to Twitter in retaliaton: “When your castmates subtly throw shade at you… it’s cool though.”

    Jenelle Evans continued the passive-aggressive feud by posting a couple of tweets in response to Lowry’s dig. “Sometimes you just have to block people in life that you once believed to be your friend,” she wrote. “I’ve always been the black sheep of the group, it’s all good. I’m used to it now.”

  • Kathryn Edwards Finally Confronts Faye Resnick After Holding A Grudge For 21 Years

    Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Kathryn Edwards finally confronted Faye Resnick over an unresolved issue from 21 years ago.

    Last Tuesday’s episode of RHOBH was filled with drama and angst, as Edwards released her resentment towards Resnick. Their dispute stemmed from Resnick’s tell-all book Nicole Brown Simpson: The Private Diary of a Life Interrupted.

    The book alleged that Nicole Brown, O.J. Simpson’s wife, had an affair with Edwards’ ex-husband, Marcus Allen, which led to her murder.

    Edwards, outraged by the accusation, said Resnick exploited the unfortunate event for fame. She said she had never met or even heard of Resnick before the book was published. Edwards denied the allegation written in the book.

    “She capitalized on a tragedy. She wrote a book about it, she posed for Playboy, I’m sure she loved the limelight, I mean come on, she was having her 15 minutes,” she added.

    “There’s very few people in my life that I’ve carried a dagger for…She’s one of them,” Kathryn Edwards told her co-stars at a barbecue party organized by Kyle Richards. “For twenty years,” she stressed.

    Resnick tried her best to avoid talking about the past, and seemed surprised when Kathryn Edwards told her why she hated her so much. The tension was high as the two women addressed their feud. However, Edwards was not satisfied at all, “There’s a part of me that feels a little cheated ‘cuz I was ready,” she confessed moments after their confrontation. “I was ready to just, like, annihilate her.”

    On Bravo blog, Kathryn Edwards, a former model, revealed Faye Resnick has a “sordid past.” She said she only wanted the other party to apologize for what she had done not just to her but to her friend, Brown’s memory. “Desperate people do desperate things,” she wrote of Resnick.

  • Jenna Renee Says Ronda Rousey’s Boyfriend Is A Wife-Beater, And She’s Still The Wife

    Jenna Renee is the estranged wife of UFC star Travis Browne, and she has an important message for Browne’s current girlfriend, Ronda Rousey.

    Renee recently posted a lengthy message online addressed to Rousey, calling her out on dating her ex despite his history of domestic abuse. She also attached a meme showing Rousey wearing a “promise ring” from Browne with the caption: “Is Ronda Rousey wearing a promise ring? As in ‘I promise not to hit you like my current wife’ ring?” The post has since been taken down.

    “Kudos to the people with a strong enough backbone to take ownership of the decisions they make, wether (sic) good or bad, mistakes or not — who don’t try to cover their tracks by changing their story to please society…,” wrote Jenna Renee.

    The feud between the two ladies began when Rousey allegedly called Jenna Renee a “liar” in a previous interview. Renee had sparked an investigation by the UFC on Browne last summer because of photos she posted showing injuries she allegedly sustained from Browne’s abuse. After seven weeks of searching for evidence, the UFC determined that Renee’s accusations were “inconclusive” and that her evidence was insufficient.

    Rousey, on the other hand, was rumored to be engaged to Browne when she was spotted wearing what people assumed to be a diamond ring on her finger during her appearance on Saturday Night Live last weekend.

    The 28-year-old former bantamweight champion denied the rumors and claimed that it was merely a “promise ring.” She also responded to the social media attacks of Jenna Renee by posting a quote from the film, Rocky Balboa, on her Instagram page.

  • Kate Del Castillo Faces Investigation For Money Laundering

    Kate del Castillo is currently on the radar of the Mexican authorities after signs of her alleged involvement in money laundering were discovered.

    The film and TV actress reportedly used money given by drug kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, in order to fund a tequila business named Honor Del Castillo.

    The government requires del Castillo to appear before a Mexican consulate in order for the investigation to commence. She was supposedly expected to attend a meeting on Monday, but failed to appear at the consulate in Los Angeles.

    However, a report stated that she can choose from two more dates in which she can go to a Mexican consulate, although it would no longer be in Los Angeles.

    The 43-year-old Mexican-American actress was in the headlines earlier this month after a Rolling Stone article stated that she was the person behind the meeting between El Chapo and actor Sean Penn.

    According to the entry written by Penn, he and Kate del Castillo went to the Sierra Madre mountain range in Mexico where they met Guzman in the middle of a jungle.

    Penn and El Chapo agreed to have an interview at a later time, although the initial plans did not push through. Instead, Penn asked questions through a BBM device, and Guzman answered them through prerecorded videotape.

    In the initial meeting between Sean Penn and El Chapo, it was believed that Kate del Castillo brought some of the tequila from her budding business. At this time, Mexican authorities believe that Guzman gave del Castillo some money to finance her business.

    El Chapo is a notorious drug lord who began his operations in the Mexican region of Sinaloa. He was first arrested in 1993, but bribed guards so he could escape in 2001. Guzman was again arrested in February 2014 before escaping in July 2015.

    The meeting organized by Kate del Castillo allgedly led to the kingpin’s recent recapture.

  • Farrah Abraham Disses Jenelle Evans For Criticizing Her Plastic Surgery Makeover

    Farrah Abraham is involved in another feud, but this time it’s with fellow Teen Mom alum Jenelle Evans.

    Evans recently had an interview with Us Weekly, in which she talks about her surgical procedures and her decision to love her looks and enhance it naturally instead. She revealed that she’s gotten breast augmentation and lip injections in the past, but decided at the last minute to forgo the chin transplant procedure she initially wanted.

    Despite her lifelong insecurity about her “pointy” chin, the 24-year-old Teen Mom 2 star stopped short of having the surgery because her boyfriend was reportedly against it.

    She approached the clinic of Michael “Dr. Miami” Salhauzer last week to discuss the operation, but Evans said that her boyfriend David Eason did not give her the green light.

    “He was totally against it, did not want me getting it done and told me I look completely fine the way I did,” Evans said. “And he was really upset about it for, like, three days.”

    Evans also weighed in on Farrah Abraham’s “total body makeover” and proceeded to compliment and diss her at the same time.

    “She does look good, but she looks weird compared to what I’m used to seeing her look like in the past,” she said of Farrah Abraham.

    Their feud was sparked by a post that Evans wrote on social media site Sulia.com that seemed to refer to Farrah Abraham. “Only 21 years old and went under 3 plastic surgeries already?! That’s insane if you ask me!” – an obvious dig at Abraham.

    In a brief interview with Rumor Fix, Farrah Abraham fired back at Evans’ comments by reminding everyone that Jenelle got breast implants after she got hers.

    She also implied that Evans, along with other teen moms on MTV, are “not intelligent.”

    “There are lots of teen mothers on MTV who are very not intelligent. And I’m one [Teen Mom cast member] who really works hard, who really educated myself and really cares about people,” Farrah Abraham said.
