Delta to Parents: Get Off This Flight… or We’ll Take Your Kids!

At this rate, the airline industry may soon be less popular than Congress. We're barely even kidding. By now, most of the free world is aware that United Airlines dragged a customer named David Dao often a flight earlier this month because he refused to give up the seat he had paid for. This incident was followed by Delta Airlines tossing a man off a plane because he dared to use the bathroom while the jet was still on the ground. Now, seemingly in an attempt to top its own ridiculousness, Delta has done the following… On April 23, Brian and Brittany Shear say they were on board a flight from Hawaii to California along with their two-year old son. Brian explained to a flight attendant that he originally bought the seat next to him for his 18-year-old son… but decided to put him on an earlier flight so that he could use that same seat for his younger child, Grayson, who was in a car seat. However, the airline said it had overbooked the flight and it needed the seat Mason was now occupying; it argued that it had a right to it because Mason’s name was NOT the name on the ticket that was purchased. It's a bit complicated. But the bottom line is that an airline once again overbooked a flight and, in this case, was telling the parents of a young child that they had to get off as a result. “You’re saying you’re gonna give that away to someone else when I paid for that seat?” Brian tells the airline employee in the video below. “That’s not right.” An airplane employee then says that under Federal Aviation Administration regulations, two-year-old kids cannot have their own seat and must fly while seated in their parents’ laps for the flight. (This is not accurate; the websites for both the FAA and Delta encourage parents to buy separate seats for young children and use a child safety restraint system.) Fine, then: Brian agreed to hold Grayson in his lap. /But he was still told to exit the plane – or face the consequences. According to Brian, an employee said the following to them during this exchange: “You have to give up the seat or you’re going to jail, your wife is going to jail and they’ll take your kids from you.” What a lovely policy. Watch the full encounter below:

Kim Zolciak Attempts to Pimp Her Daughter, Gets Hate Instead

For about a week or so, the world took a break from hating on Kim Zolciak to pity her and send her and her family well wishes instead. After all, her four-year-old son was attacked by a dog and required surgery and a hospital stay — it really wasn’t the time to point out her never-ending obnoxiousness, you know? But, as Kim has said, little Kash is healing wonderfully, and he’ll be fine after the attack . It’s great news, it really is, because thank goodness that poor kid is going to be OK. And also because now things can get back to normal when it comes to Kim and criticizing her big, dumb mouth . For her latest act of terror, Kim actually thought it was a good idea to get on Twitter and offer up her 20-year-old daughter, Brielle Biermann, in exchange for a chance to meet John Legend. Really, she did this. She directed her tweet to Chrissy Teigen, John’s unbearably lovely wife , writing “Sooo ur hubby is comin to ATL may19 & Kash is beyond OBSESSED w him! who does Brielle have to blow in order to meet him?? LOL.” It’s sad, because it would have been a sweet gesture — after what he’s been through recently, of course it would be nice if he was able to meet John. But to ask Chrissy “who does Brielle have to blow in order to meet him”? … Seriously? Chrissy took the message in stride, responding with “Plz don’t blow anyone it’s not that good of a show. Jk it’s good but I’ll get you tix without the oral.” Unfortunately for Kim, not everyone responded so graciously. “Just a suggestion,” one person wrote in response to Kim’s tweet, “but you know you can just go on Ticketmaster and not pimp out your daughter?” Another told her “This is a ‘joke’ that totally crosses the line. Kim you are dumber than I thought you were for not deleting this by now.” One person who means well but is obviously not familiar with this family asked “Where did the class go???”, and another even called this “child abuse,” and “unacceptable behavior from a parent.” It seems like even Kim’s biggest fans are taking issue with her comment — one of them told her “I love you Kim & always defend you, but seriously??? Who in their right mind can think this is funny?” That question makes the assumption that Kim is in her right mind, which has yet to be proven . Look, Kim, it’s not that hard, honey. Just don’t be weird. Don’t make creepy comments about your own kids. If in the future you feel an urge to offer sexual favors from your daughter in exchange for goods or services, just don’t do that. It’s that simple. View Slideshow: Kim Zolciak Body Selfies

Christina & Tarek El Moussa: Are They Really Back Together?!

When we first learned that Christina and Tarek El Moussa were getting divorced , the details of their final days together made it seem as though they’d never be on speaking terms again. Insiders say Christina was caught cheating on Tarek , which led to an insane blowout fight. During said argument, sources claim, Tarek brandished a gun and threatened to commit suicide. Needless to say, it wasn’t exactly an amicable breakup. Believe it or now, however,  Tarek and Christina are back together – of course, the couple is reuniting in the name of money, not love. The couple announced this week that they’ll be temporarily reuniting with big fake smiles on their face in order to film a seventh season of their hit HGTV show Flip or Flop. Tarek shared the news via Instagram, and even he sort of conceded that the situation is a strange one: “BREAKING NEWS!!!!!! It’s time to announce that our show, the OG Flip or Flop is being renewed for 20 episodes,” Tarek wrote.  “I know many of our fans have been wondering about this and it’s finally happening. Regardless of the situation, our job is to flip homes and create a TV show for people to enjoy around the world.” He added (somewhat ominously): “Be prepared for some disasters and crazy projects on the upcoming season… it’s almost… GO TIME! Who’s excited about this??? I am!” Well, he’s right in that we’re definitely bracing ourselves for disaster, but not the kind that involve home repairs. Bizarrely, Tarek and Christina are going through the motions of a promotional press junket as though they’re not a recently and bitterly divorced ex-couple: That’s a photo of the El Moussas working the red carpet at the Daytime Emmy Awards that was posted by Christina earlier this week. Believe it or not, that’s no throwback. The smiling exes just posed for pics and presented an award together on Sunday! We know the show is their bread and butter, but surely these two must have other career options, right? Are people really gonna tune in to watch the painful display of Tarek and Christina pretending they don’t hate each other just because they share the El Moussa’s opinions on grout? We’ll find out when Flip or Flop Season 7 premieres on HGTV. View Slideshow: Christina El Moussa Photos: Flip or Flop Hotness!

Ashley Graham: I’m Naked AND I’m Christian!

Ashley Graham is baring both her soul and her body. In every possible way. The plus-size model, who frequently receives praise for being so open with her figure even in the face of criticism, is featured in the latest issue of V Magazine… … in her birthday suit! And we’re not talking about some cheap nude spread in which the subject is actually sort of clothed… or covering most of her private parts with a bed sheet or something. We’re talking the full monty and then some. You’ll have to visit the official V Magazine website to drool over the most explicit photographs, none of which we can post here because we try to be a family destination for celebrity gossip. But here’s one of the more tame examples from Graham’s latest pictoral. The brunette bombshell has taken off her clothes on plenty of previous occasions, of course. In this case, however, she exposes more than just her bare boobs. She also delves deeply into her upbringing, specifically her religious upbringing. “I grew up in a very Christian home, so words have power,” she says, explaining: “I took that with me into every area of my life. If you say, ‘I’m fat,’ that’s how you’re going to feel. If you say, ‘I’m stupid,’ that’s how you’re going to start your day.” Indeed, Graham has always stood strong against the body-shamers and critics out there. She’s written an upcoming book titled A New Model: What Confidence, Beauty, and Power Really Look Like. “I wake up sometimes and I feel like the fattest person alive, but I’m not going to let that affect the rest of my day,” she says. What sort of advice might Graham offer to others who feel this way? “Say to yourself, ‘I like this day. I am bold, I am beautiful, and I am brilliant.’ For me, that hits the interior, the exterior, and it makes me feel smart.” Ashley also recalls to the publication how she discovered she had cellulite for the first time, back when she was in middle school. “I remember telling my mom, ‘Isn’t it disgusting? It’s so ugly.’ She pulled her pants down and said, ‘Look, I have it, too.’ “And I was like, ‘Gasp!’ She looked at me, then at it, and just rolled her eyes. She didn’t tell me that it’s beautiful or ugly. She just made it a nonissue.” Graham does the same thing now online. She’ll often just share photos of her own cellulite for other women to take note of. “It doesn’t define my worth,” Ashley concludes, speaking to Tracee Ellis Ross, who conducted this interview. “If women like you and me continue to preach that, then I feel like younger girls are going to grasp it and they’re going to be like, “Who cares!” Amen. In related news, we totally love Ashley Graham.
