Kylie Jenner: I Don’t Need Family Anymore! I’m a Billionaire!

New mom Kylie Jenner has been stunning the world with her post-baby bikini body , but she’s more focused on her baby and her business these days. In fact, she may be a little too busy to slum it with her siblings on the reality show that catapulted them all to stardom. A new report says that Kylie wants to drop Keeping Up With The Kardashians because she’s a billionaire. RadarOnline reports that Kylie may quit KUWTK . (Try saying that five times rapidly) “Kris is desperate to keep Kylie on the show,” the insider warns. The show is built on the power of their entire family. Unlike, say, Rob, viewers would miss seeing Kylie. “And,” the source says, Kris “thinks that she is essential to renegotiating” how much they are paid and how much control the family maintains over production and editing. That is, after all, something that Momager Kris will need to do “after the contracts end.” But Kylie’s status as the world’s most powerful influencer may not be the leverage that Kris is seeking. “But,” the insider notes. “She has a billion dollars already.” Or close enough. Kylie Cosmetics is worth enough to make your eyes bleed, and the value keeps going up every year. “She doesn’t need the show at all anymore,” the source reveals. That could spell trouble for the family’s signature series. Kylie hasn’t needed the show for a while. But now, she just has other priorities. “Kylie wants to focus on her baby and her cosmetics line instead,” the insider explains. Reality stardom has reportedly been getting old. Probably because she’s been at it for half of her life. “She hasn’t been into the show in a while,” the source reports. “And,” the insider continues. “It just has been really difficult for her to fit it into her already super busy schedule.” If this report is true, it is understandable that Kylie feels this way. Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, and Kris all signed up for Keeping Up With The Kardashians . They were grown adults. They had a choice. Kylie was just a kid. This life path has been massively rewarding, but it’s not something that she chose for herself. Kylie Cosmetics, however, is her baby. Stormi, in a much more literal sense, is also her baby. It would make a lot of sense for her to focus on the things that she really wants in life instead of upon the things that were thrust upon her. Especially if she doesn’t need that reality show paycheck to pay the bills. But let’s look at this from another angle — and consider whether this report is true. First of all, Kylie may feel some sense of familial obligation to help keep the show going. She’s certainly helped out her family before. (Well, she helped out Rob before — he’s arguably the only adult in the family who really needs help with anything) Second of all, we should remember that all of the Kardashian projects are inextricably tied to their respective brands. That means that their bodies, their social media presence, their products, and their reality television appearances do not exist within a vacuum. Kylie may fear that abandoning her family’s show could eventually cause her company to lose value. There’s another huge factor. Back in July, we learned that Life of Kylie was renewed . If Kylie is really too fatigued to continue being on a show on which she is part of an ensemble cast, is she really going to keep doing a show on which she is the star? We’re not suggesting that anyone place bets one way or the other, but while Kylie may feel conflicted, we wouldn’t be surprised if she sticks with KUWTK . At least, we don’t expect her to jump ship until the show goes even further downhill. View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner Tries Cereal with Milk for First Time, Confounds the Internet

Nicolas Cage: The Hollywood Gossip Would Like to Issue a Retraction

The Hollywood Gossip would like to issue the following retraction: In a previous article, we wrote the following: According to court documents obtained by Radar Online, Nicolas Cage’s ex-girlfriend, Vickie Park, accused Cage of assaulting her while “severely intoxicated” at the SLASH Film Festival in Vienna last month. Cage has, in fact, not been accused of assault and we apologize for the error.

Bristol Palin vs. Dakota Meyer: The Feud Explodes!

Remember a week ago when Dakota Meyer said things between himself and Bristol Palin were ” the best [they’ve] ever been .” Well… a lot can change in a week. On this past Monday’s episode of Teen Mom OG , viewers watched Bristol and Dakota basically end their marriage, as both sides apologized for their mistakes and both acknowledged Meyer’s PTSD had become too much for the relationship to handle. It seemed as though the divorce was mutual and, hey, at the time, maybe everything was amicable. In a new MTV-sponsored video, however, Palin advised viewers not to rush into relationships and pregnancies, telling her audience the following: “I got engaged and pregnant within a month. Planned a wedding. And I was like, ‘I can’t get married.’ Called off the wedding. Went through the whole pregnancy by myself. “Friggin sucked.” That scenario does sound like it would friggin suck. And Palin made it sound even worse when she said she felt guilty that her second child essentially had no father and, as a result… “I got back together with him. Got married right away. Had another baby right away. And then we got divorced just recently.” Meyer, however, has taken EXTREME exception to this portrayal of both himself and the situation between him and Palin. He grants Bristol the basic facts of her pregnancies, but points most of the blame in her direction when it comes to the decisions she made and the way she handled it all. “Yes, we got pregnant right after our engagement,” he captioned a photo of himself and his daughter Sailor, 2. “We planned a wedding with our families and friends and Bristol decided to leave me a week prior . I spoke with her family every month and made it clear I would be the father of my child. “I reached out to her before Sailor was born and asked what the plan was to co-parent. She told me to go through the courts to establish paternity.” Moreover, Meyer argues, if Bristol felt so guilty… if she actually wanted him in the picture… why wasn’t he invited to the birth of his child? “I found out my child was born on Twitter,” he wrote this week in response to Bristol’s video, adding: “Can you imagine being a dad and not being allowed to be at your child’s birth? She denied my paternity until it could be proven, at which point Sailor was born. “For Bristol to state that Sailor didn’t have a dad is laughable. “What really happened is Bristol kept our daughter from having a father present at birth and until the courts ruled that I was her father.” Meyer concluded his angry post like this; “I can promise you this, Sailor and Atlee always had a dad, and always will have a dad.” Pretty straightforward and to the point from Meyer. And we can understand why he’s so upset here. Palin is doing what all Teen Mom cast members almost have to do: stir up drama. She and Dakota can’t just have a friendly divorce and pleasant co-parenting arrangement and nothing more because why would viewers tune in each week? But Meyer is a veteran. He suffers from anxiety and depression and constant nightmares because everyone in his platoon except for himself was killed years ago in a battle in Afghanistan. This is anything but your run-of-the-mill Teen Mom or reality show fodder. After all he’s been through, Meyer isn’t about to sit back and let his life story be turned into a ratings or publicity-grab by his ex-wife. And, really, can you blame him?!?

Lauren Burnham: Jenna Cooper is NOT a Cheater!!

Last month, the Bachelor in Paradise finale was marred by a cheating scandal . Jenna Cooper and Jordan Kimball won … and then all hell broke loose. Alleged texts say that Jenna was cheating, but she swears that she’s a victim of fraud — and says she can prove it. Now, she’s being defended by none other than Bachelor Winner Lauren Burnham. So, remember how Bekah Martinez told the world that most of the women from  The Bachelor  had still kept in touch? Well, several women from Arie’s season, including Lauren Burnham, Jaqueline Turmbull, and Sienne Flemming, got together for a slumber party. (Yes, these women had all dated Arie, yes, Lauren is his fiancee, and yes, Arie was apparently also there) One of Arie’s exes who was present was Jenna Cooper, who was eliminated in week 6 of the season. These women are friends, so the gathering makes sense — except to fans who think that Jenna is some sort of snake in the grass. A fan commented on Instagram, writing: “Anyone else think it’s so shady that they’re all hanging out with Jenna?” The comment concludes: “after she proved how terrible of a human she is?” If you’re wondering  wait, when did she “prove” she’s terrible?  … you are not alone. “No spewing hate here, love,” Lauren Burnham replied to the fan’s comment. “There are two sides to every story,” Lauren reminds the commenter. “And,” Lauren says. “The only evidence I know of backs the fact that Jenna did not do what she’s being accused of.” “What’s the evidence?” a curious fan demands to know. Lauren clearly has a healthy set of boundaries (for a  Bachelor  star, anyway), because she doesn’t cough up the goods. “That’s for her to release,” Lauren replies. She is absolutely correct — we’ll get into what that evidence may be in just a moment. “It should be happening very soon,” Lauren teases. A lot of fans would be very happy to see solid proof instead of relying upon speculation. Lauren reminds fans that she is not exactly the type to just decide who is innocent and who is guilty all willy-nilly. “I am not one to jump on the bandwagon and take a side without solid evidence,” Lauren affirms. “I can tell you that her story is very compelling,” Lauren adds. “And she has professional proof.” She then offers a worde of warning for fans who leapt to conclusions when this alleged cheating scandal first broke. Lauren suggests: “I would just advise not to be so quick to publicly state opinions without knowing the whole story.” Jenna was accused of cheating after text messages were published which purportedly showed that Jenna was cheating on Jordan Kimball. Those same texts indicated that she was planning on dumping him, which would have been humiliating after his  Bachelor in Paradise  proposal. However, Jenna has insisted that, though the texts emulate her writing style, she didn’t write them. She has also taken the extra step of  hiring an attorney  in her quest to clear her name. Jenna put her phone through a forensic program  to prove that she has never sent any texts of the sort. (Such a program would capture even deleted text messages) It is probably that forensic analysis to which Lauren is referring. However, there may be more. Jenna’s own attorneys have expressed the belief that Jordan himself may have fabricated the texts. It is possible that this theory, expressed in a private email to him that  Jordan then made public , was intended as a negotiating tactic or a bluff. But it is also possible that Jenna’s attorneys have uncovered further evidence — of Jenna’s innocence or even of Jordan’s alleged guilt. If Lauren is right, Jenna may air at least some of her evidence soon. View Slideshow: Bachelor in Paradise Finale Tarnished By Texting Scandal … But Did Jenna Cooper Really Cheat?

EXCLUSIVE: Bo Burnham on His Newly-Announced Comedy Tour and MTV Show

It’s been a busy 15 months since Bo Burnham was featured by Movieline in The Verge , and movie roles, tours, network pilots, and Comedy Central specials have all followed. I spoke to the 20-year-old comedy songwriter just this afternoon, and he exclusively announced to Movieline his plans for a brand-new tour called Bo Burnham (No) Friends , which starts in October, the same month as his Comedy Central special, Words, Words, Words . Burnham told Movieline what to expect from his new tour — “weird” seems to be the answer — discussed his new MTV pilot, and imagined a world where Yo Teach! was a reality.
