Keeping Up With the Kardashians Season 9 Episode 18 Recap: Khloe is Leading a DOUBLE LIFE!

Sunday night on Keeping Up With the Kardashians Season 9 Episode 18, Kourtney and Kim were abuzz over Khloe Kardashian’s “shady” behavior of late. She’s been hanging out with a rapper named French Montana – gasp – and even crazier than that, she hasn’t told her older sisters anything. Anything! Watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 9 Episode 18 Online Meanwhile, Khloe notices that Kris Jenner overwhelmed lately and has been neglecting some of her manager duties, showing up late and leaving early. It’s one thing to be a Momager who gets the job done and makes you filthy rich despite an utter lack of talent. It’s another to be one who sucks. Khloe is pretty steamed in particular about how, in a recent radio interview, she was asked questions about both French Montana and Lamar Odom . As Momager, Kris should’ve quashed that at the onset. Kim is also pissed at her mom for meddling with her assistant and finding out all of her wedding plans with Kanye, which were supposed to be top secret. The Momager also flips when Kim says she doesn’t bridal shower, and that’s the last straw for KIm, who vows to move in with Kourtney until she finds a new house. Kris, naturally, calls Kourtney’s house nonstop, voicing her disapproval. Later, they patch things up. Kris can still come to the wedding … just BUTT OUT! Later, Kim calls Khloe out on sneaking around with French Montana and her “friends” and giving her sisters the silent treatment, keeping them all in the dark. What the heck is she up to? 9 People Made Famous by the Kardashians 1. Jonathan Cheban Jonathan Cheban has been a publicist for years. But only by publicizing his friendship with the Kardashians has he become known. Several nights after that, Kim and Jonathan Cheban stake out a club they know Khloe will be going to because they want to catch the shady one in the act. With cameras. Staking out a club. Kim Kardashian. Sorry, but the scripted nature of what you see when you watch Keeping Up With the Kardashians online is full-on absurd sometimes. And it gets worse: They see Lamar Odom walking towards the club! When Khloe rolls up with French, Jonathan and Kim rush over to tell her the news. Cue shock and awe! Khloe doesn’t know what to do about this situation. Lamar ends up not coming inside the club, probably because he was filmed at different place or a different night we’re guessing which helps Khloe. Kim totally can sense that Khloe and French are dating and it makes her happy, while Khloe finds comfort in the fact that Kim totally had her back this whole time. Aww. And they all lived happily ever after in scripted, wealthy bliss that was all made possible by the Kim Kardashian sex tape all those years ago. Just saying. That’s what started it. 19 Worst Kim Kardashian Photos! 1. Kim Kardashian Krying Kim gets her ugly cry on. It’s definitely not her best look.

Westboro Baptist Church to Protest Robin Williams Funeral, Suck at Life

When Robin Williams died unexpectedly last week, the outpouring of emotion from the beloved actor’s millions of fans was unlike anything the Internet has seen in recent years. Robin Williams: His Most Memorable Roles 1. Mork (Mork & Mindy) The role that started it all. Robin Williams starred as an alien on the late 1970s sitcom Mork & Mindy. Horrible as it was to learn that the world had lost such a kind and gifted man, the near universal reverence for Williams made for a welcome silver lining. The flood of fond memories from admirers of all ages was a refreshing change from the bitter divisiveness that usually characterizes online comment boards.  So naturally, the folks at the Westboro Baptist Church took one look at all this genuine affection and figured out a way to make it all about hate. Yes, the horrible bigots who celebrated the death of Cory Monteith and encouraged his girlfriend Lea Michele to kill herself are up to their old tricks. The picket-happy fundamentalists announced over the weekend that they plan to protest Williams’ funeral as a result of his portrayal of a gay man in the 1996 film The Birdcage . Plans for Williams’ funeral have not yet been announced, but a recent message on  the WBC’s official Twitter page reads: “Westboro Baptist Church Hopes To Preach In Lawful Proximity To Robin Williams’ Funeral – To Warn The Living: Repent Or Likewise Perish.”  Fortunately, a non-profit organization called Planting Peace has decided to counteract the astonishing negativity of the WBC protest with a fund-raising campaign. Their efforts will benefit one of Robin’s favorite charities, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. So even in death, Robin is making life better for people in need. Looks like the score is Comedy 1, Hate 0. 21 Memorable Robin Williams Quotes 1. That You May Contribute a Verse What will YOUR verse be?

Commenting on the film in Cannes last May, John Hillcoat noted : “There are a lot of parallels to today with the economic crisis, today’s Mexican cartels, heroin in New York, crack and cocaine in the ’80s and the war on drugs. All this feeds back to Prohibition in the ’30s.” Lawless opened with just over $10 million in its opening weekend theatrical release in late August, and has taken in over $36.27 million through last weekend. Official logline : They were brothers who became outlaws, and outlaws who became heroes…The three Bondurant boys (Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy, Jason Clarke), along with their sultry new hire (Jessica Chastain), command the most lucrative bootlegging operation in Franklin County, Virginia.  The locals consider them “indestructible.”  But the law – in the form of a corrupt special deputy (Guy Pearce) – wants a cut of their action, at any cost.  When youngest brother Jack (LaBeouf) gets a taste of power with a deadly gangster (Gary Oldman), the whole business blows sky high.  Based on the astonishing true story, the Bondurant brotherhood is the stuff of legend.

Breaking: Sen. Robert Byrd Dies at 92

Sen. Robert Byrd died early Monday.  Joe Holley of the Washington Post began with a mildly surprising label for a senator who was a Bush-bashing hero of the anti-war left this decade (with a lifetime American Conservative Union rating of 28): Robert C. Byrd, a conservative West Virginia Democrat who became the longest-serving member of Congress in history and used his masterful knowledge of the institution to shape the federal budget, protect the procedural rules of the Senate and, above all else, tend to the interests of his state, died at 3 a.m. Monday at Inova Fairfax Hospital, his office said. Mr. Byrd had been hospitalized last week with what was thought to be heat exhaustion, but more serious issues were discovered, aides said Sunday. No formal cause of death was given. Starting in 1958, Mr. Byrd was elected to the Senate an unprecedented nine times.He wrote a four-volume history of the body, was majority leader twice and chaired the powerful Appropriations Committee, controlling the nation’s purse strings, and yet the positions of influence he held did not convey the astonishing arc of his life. They did include his time in the Ku Klux Klan, in paragraph nine. He also wrote this sentence (perhaps this is his idea of what earned the label “conservative”): As chairman of the Senate Appropriations subcommittee on the District from 1961 to 1969, he reveled in his role as scourge, grilling city officials at marathon hearings and railing against unemployed black men and unwed mothers on welfare.

MN professor eviscerates Lord’s Monckton’s climate disinformation in must-see video

“The number of errors Chris Monckton makes is so enormous it would take a thesis to go through every single one of them.” The Viscount Monckton of Brenchley (TVMOB) is a shameless purveyor of hate speech and anti-science disinformation (see links below). Nonetheless, you rarely sees such a thorough debunking of an anti-science disinformer as this astonishing point-by-point evisceration put together by John Abraham, an engineering professor at St. Thomas University in St. Paul, MN. One of the two reasons you rarely see this is because few people are willing to put in the time and effort that Prof. Abraham has — not merely looking up just about every reference TVMOB uses but actually e-mailing the authors of those scientific papers and asking them if TVMOB has accurately represented their work. The second reason you rarely see this kind of thorough dismantlement is that few people make stuff up with the relentlessness of TVMOB or push the kind of hate speech that make people want to debunk them entirely: •Lord Monckton meltdown: “I’m not going to shake the hands of Hitler youth.” •TVMOB hate speech shocker: Lord Monckton repeats and expands on his charge that those who embrace climate science are “Hitler youth” and fascists. •TVMOB shocker: Activists decried as “Hitler Youth” for crashing Americans For Prosperity’s global warming event in Copenhagen •How to diss-a-peer: Real Climate Scientists take on TVMOB •Deltoid at ScienceBlogs: Monckton’s triple counting and here. •Irony-gate 2: Modern day Tea Partiers outsource denial to Lord Monckton — a British peer! •Climate Crock takes on Lord Monckton aka TVMOB •Climate Crock takes on Lord Monckton, Part 2 Kudos to Abraham for this masterful debunking. http://www.stthomas.edu/engineering/jpabraham/ added by: JanforGore
