Rumor Control: Chrissy Teigen Confirms Whether Or Not She’s The Reason Tyra Banks Quit Her Talk Show

Chrissy Teigen Denies Making Tyra Banks Leave Talk Show We reported earlier this week that Tyra Banks had quit her own daytime talk show to pursue other endeavors. According to The Hollywood Reporter the model wanted to work on her makeup collection instead. In a statement released to The Hollywood Reporter, Banks said that she wanted to scale back on her daytime duties in order to focus on her cosmetics line. “This is a very difficult decision, but necessary,” she said in the statement. FABLife is produced by Disney/ABC. Banks will remain as executive producer through December. With a bench of co-hosts and contributors – including Chrissy Teigen, fashion editor Joe Zee, interior designer Lauren Makk and YouTube star Leah Ashley – there are no plans to replace Banks. “I will be devoting more time to my new, growing cosmetics company, TYRA Beauty, which is expanding faster than anticipated, as well as overseeing my company’s other entertainment ventures. I will however continue to support the growth and success of FABLife and greatly admire my fellow co-hosts and the talented production team behind the show,” Banks added in her statement.

Well Damn! Will Smith Describes Matrimony-dom With Jada As Grueling And Excruciating

Will Smith And Jada Pinkett Smith Admit 20 Year Marriage Has Been Grueling Now this actually looks like an excruciating marriage. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith made another joint appearance this week, with Will keeping it 100 about how they’ve made it 20 years together through all the ups and downs… Via Daily Mail reports : At the Los Angeles premiere of his film Concussion on Monday, the 47-year-old spoke to Entertainment Tonight about how they keep their relationship so strong. ‘We’ve been married 20 years and we’ve been asking ourselves [what’s the secret to marriage] and really at the end of the day it’s just not quitting,’ the star revealed. ‘You can’t expect it to be easy,’ Will continued, adding: ‘It’s like our marriage was the most difficult, grueling, excruciating thing that we have ever taken on in our lives. And you know we’re just not quitters.’ He also opened up on what he believes to be the secret to maintaining a good marriage, which is always working to be a better person. ‘I would say is that we never went into working on our relationship,’ He explained. ‘We only ever worked on ourselves individually, and then presented ourselves to one another better than we were previously.’ That seems like a good strategy… Especially considering they have that “open” situation. Kinda hard to work on something with someone when they are running around humping somebody else. #Just Sayin… The duo are frequently plagued with divorce rumors, though they always shoot them down, with Will most recently refuting claims this past August with a Facebook post. ‘So, in the interest of redundant, repetitious, over & over-again-ness… Jada and I are…NOT GETTING A DIVORCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!’ the star emphatically wrote. He continued: ‘I promise you all – if I ever decide to divorce my Queen – I SWEAR I’ll tell you myself! ‪#‎Dumb‬ People Should Have to Wear Scarlet D’s.’ The Gotham alum echoed her husband’s sentiments on Twitter, simply posting: ‘My king has spoken.’ And the pair frequently gush about each other on social media as well, with The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air alum sharing a sweet throwback photo of the couple along with a heartfelt message for Jada’s birthday. In September he wrote: ‘I’ve told you “I love you” at least 8,285 times. And of the nearly 3.96 Billion women on the planet – there is only 1 that I want to spend the rest of my life with.’ For Will’s birthday about a week later Jada similarly gushed, writing: ‘I’m not going to pull out the calculator like you did but know this… you have a 100 percent of my heart and the rest of my days…’ Upcoming drama Concussion, in which Will plays plays Dr. Bennet Omalu, a forensic neuropathologist who was the first to discover chronic traumatic encephalopathy in football players, hits theaters Christmas Day in the US. Are you checking for Will’s new movie? Do you think the Smith’s marriage will last til death do them part or nah? AKM-GSI

Hillary Clinton Hospitalized With Blood Clot

It’s been a tough few weeks for Hillary Clinton. The Secretary of State was hospitalized after doctors found a blood clot during an exam related to the concussion she suffered during a fall earlier this month. “Her doctors will continue to assess her condition, including other issues associated with her concussion,” Philippe Reines, deputy assistant secretary of state, said Sunday. “They will determine if any further action is required.” She’s being treated with anti-coagulants and is expected to be stay at New York Presbyterian Hospital for 48 hours so she can be monitored, CNN reports. The 65-year-old, who has visited more than 110 countries in the past four years, suffered a concussion when she passed out and fell in her D.C. home. Reports at the time said dehydration suffered after a trip the former first lady took to Europe was the cause of her fainting spell and thus the fall that concussed her. Clinton was recently named one of Barbara Walters’s 10 most-fascinating people of 2012 and plans to step down from her secretary post early next year. President Barack Obama has named John Kerry her replacement.

Bam Margera Assault Interferes With ‘Jackass 3-D’ Intro

After 59-year-old allegedly beat him with a bat, Bam can’t be hit on head for the movie. By Gil Kaufman Bam Margera Photo: Frazer Harrison/ Getty Images Only in “Jackass” world would an accidental head injury prevent someone from suffering a planned head shot. According to TMZ , the assault on Bam Margera this weekend could prevent the “Viva la Bam” star from participating in the filming of the opening sequence of the upcoming “Jackass 3-D” movie. Bam was assaulted early Saturday morning (June 12) and beaten with a bat wielded by a 59-year-old woman, following a noise complaint at The Note, the bar that Margera owns in his hometown of West Chester, Pennsylvania. Elizabeth Ray, who lives on the same block as the bar, attacked Margera with a bat at around 2 a.m. on Saturday. She was arrested and charged with one count of aggravated assault, two counts of simple assault and two counts of reckless endangerment. She posted $10,000 bail shortly after her arrest. Ray professed her innocence to the Philadelphia Daily News, claiming that Margera used racial slurs during their initial argument about the noise. “He called me the N-word,” she said. “I’m innocent, and he’s a jackass, just like his movies.” Margera was taken via ambulance to Chester County Hospital and treated for his injuries, and at press time no update was available on his condition. “Jackass” co-star Steve-O told TMZ that Margera had been brought into the intensive care unit of the hospital and was released a few hours later. “I think he’s gonna be OK,” Steve-O told TMZ. The one lasting effect of the beating is that the concussion Margera suffered has complicated his participation in the upcoming shoot for the intro to the third “Jackass” movie. TMZ reported that Margera flew to Los Angeles on Monday for the shoot, which calls for the entire “Jackass” crew to take some hard shots to the skull in slow motion 3-D. Margera reportedly told the site that his head-shot had to be rewritten because of the concussion and internal bleeding he suffered in the assault. A spokesperson for Margera could not be reached for comment at press time. “Jackass 3-D” is slated to hit theaters in October.
