    Kim Richards Caught Lying? Reality Star Faces Jail Time After Wearing High Heels On The Red Carpet

    Kim Richards was recently summoned to court for wearing high heels on the red carpet. The reality star has reportedly not completed any of her required community service due to an alleged foot injury.

    According to TMZ, prosecutors blasted the reality star in court after prosecutors showed evidence, which included photos of her wearing high heels despite her foot injury claims. Richards is set to return to court on June 1 to determine whether she has done any community service or violated her probation. She could be jailed if the court proves that she lied about her foot injury.

    According to Richards’ attorneys, the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills member is still suffering from her foot and knee injury that resulted in nerve damage. They said they are planning on scheduling surgery; however, their client’s injury limits her movement.

    A source told ET that Richards only wears heels “on the red carpet or in situations where she only needs to wear them for a few minutes.”

    “She isn’t out there jogging in her high heels. Kim will be prepared with the proper documentation [at the next court hearing],” the source added.

    The reality star was supposed to complete 30 days of community service and attend 52 AA meetings as part of a plea deal for her arrest at the Beverly Hills Hotel, in which she entered a guilty plea to one charge of resisting arrest.

    In July of last year, Kim Richards shared with ET her journey to sobriety. The star had been struggling to stay sober and confessed that it has not been easy for her.

    “I love sobriety,” Kim Richards said at the time. “I’ve always loved sobriety, and relapsing was very hard for me. It was not easy. I have to say, don’t take this wrong, but I really wanted to go to treatment because I needed a break from what I was going through at home.”

  • Emily Blunt Can’t Relate To People Who “Don’t Have Their S**t Together In Their 30s”

    Emily Blunt is not usually one to hold back when she has an opinion on something.

    Emily Blunt was ready to share her disdain for the fact that women were recently denied entrance into a premiere because they weren’t wearing heels.

    In fact, Emily Blunt is dissatisfied with the way women are treated in Hollywood in general.

    Yes, there is the occasional women in Hollywood appreciation event, but Emily Blunt says that’s not enough.

    She said, “We need to take more action and talk less about it.”

    She added, “I sometimes feel you can exacerbate a problem by talking about it until you’re blue in the face and putting further and further stamps on the divide. Instead of having nights that celebrate women in Hollywood, we should organize programs where you pay for female writers to develop their skills.”

    Emily Blunt doesn’t seem to need any help, herself. She has made quite the name for herself with her stellar acting, singing, and even action skills.

    Perhaps that’s why Emily Blunt can’t relate to a large section of the public that isn’t having such an easy time at life. She won’t even attempt to portray them onscreen.

    She said, “I don’t ever relate to characters that don’t have their s— together in their 30s. I’ve been offered a couple parts like that and I just say, ‘I don’t relate to it. I don’t understand it.’ I don’t have an interest in playing those kinds of parts. As I get older, I just love seeing people that don’t have their head in their hands. I like seeing people who cope.”

  • Emily Blunt Fires at Cannes for High Heels Policy

    Emily Blunt let her displeasure be known when reporters spoke to her at a Cannes event. The Cannes Film Festival event had caught flak for the lack of women filmmakers represented at the festival event. So they were making efforts to bring women into the foreground. Then came the bit of news that Emily Blunt responded to.

    According to Screen magazine, “a handful of women in their fifties were turned away from the screening of Todd Haynes’ competition entry Carol on Sunday night after being told the height of their smart footwear didn’t pass muster. Multiple guests, some older with medical conditions, were denied access to the anticipated world-premiere screening for wearing rhinestone flats.”

    Emily Blunt was handling her own press event for her film Sicario. When reporters asked her about the no-heels situation, she responded:

    “Yeah, that’s very disappointing. To think there are these waves of equality and waves of people discovering that women are so fascinating and interesting to watch and bankable.”

    Emily Blunt further opined that heels are not a good idea anyway, so requiring them as dress code is not smart.

    “Everyone should wear flats to be honest,” Emily Blunt said. “We shouldn’t be wearing high heels anyways. That’s my point of view. I just prefer wearing Converse sneakers.”

    Screen said that they had asked for an official comment from festival organizers about the mini-scandal.

    “The festival declined to comment on the matter, but did confirm that it is obligatory for all women to wear high-heels to red-carpet screenings.”

    They spoke to one person, only described as a “Cannes regular” who said that this is not a new thing.

    “I’ve heard this happening several times now, even to older women who can’t wear heels for medical reasons. It’s bullshit. Someone I know was turned away for wearing nice flats, nothing you would wear to the beach. They were in their 50’s. They told her she could go and buy appropriate shoes and come back.”

    Some men are expressing their displeasure with Cannes over this rule by threatening to wear high heels themselves.

  • Emily Blunt Speaks Out Against Cannes’ ‘Very Disappointing’ Policy

    It apparently doesn’t matter if you’re wearing diamond encrusted sandals. If a woman wants to attend a film screening in Cannes, then she better strap on her high heels.

    This surprising development has had people up in arms and prompted actress Emily Blunt to speak out against the festival’s “very disappointing” rule.

    The brouhaha on heels happened when the Screen Daily wrote that a “handful of women in their fifties were turned away from the screening of Todd Haynes’ competition entry Carol on Sunday night after being told the height of their smart footwear didn’t pass muster.”

    To make matters worse, some of the women turned away for wearing flats were older guests with medical conditions.

    That’s pretty ironic considering the movie, a 1950s lesbian romance, is geared towards audiences of the female persuasion.

    When asked about her thoughts on the incident, the Sicario star said that it was very disappointing, especially when you consider that “there’s these new waves of equality and waves of people realizing that women are so fascinating and interesting to watch, and bankable [on screen].”

    The Devil Wears Prada star also said that “Everyone should wear flats to be honest.”

    “We shouldn’t be wearing high heels anyways. That’s my point of view. I just prefer wearing Converse sneakers,” Blunt shared.

    The 32-year-old actress isn’t the only one who has spoken out against this rule. Several Cannes guests have also mentioned experiencing the same footwear discrimination.

    Festival director Thierry Fremaux has denied the report and called it “unfounded.”

    But Blunt’s Sicario teammates are taking a stand against the cheekily dubbed “flatgate” issue.

    Director Denis Villeneuve announced that “in a sign of protest, Benicio, Josh, and I will walk the stairs [of the Palais] in high heels tomorrow.”

    Now that is one event that the media should not miss.
