Kendall Jenner: Caitlyn Jenner is INSANE!

Kendall Jenner tends to keep pretty quiet about her family's relentless drama. Actually, she tends to keep quiet about her family in general … when she makes any sort of public statement, in an interview or on social media, she rarely brings up that side of her personal life. But while Kendall seems to enjoy Calvin Klein underwear shots and saving the world with Pepsi more than anything else, there are certain occasions in which she just can't avoid the drama. And what better venue for that drama than Keeping Up with the Kardashians? In Sunday night's new episode of the show, the family discusses Caitlyn Jenner's tell-all , The Secrets of My Life. We've seen a tiny bit of Kendall's view on the book — remember, she slapped her hands on a table and cried out “That's insane!”? Well, now we're seeing more of her reaction … and it's not good. In this new sneak peek, Kendall explains to Kris that Kim told her about Caitlyn's book. “I heard about all this stuff that she was saying in it,” she tells her, “and just how a lot of it's so not true.” Interestingly enough, Kendall says that she doesn't think Caitlyn is lying, at least not on purpose. “I think she really just thinks that's what happened, for some weird reason,” she says. Kris says that it's a shame Cailtyn didn't handle the business of writing a memoir in a different way, because if she'd just written about her own journey, she would have had “great respect” for it. Unfortunately, and as we know so very well at this point, that's not what happened . “There's lies that are printed in a book that lives there for the end of time,” Kris laments, “so your children are going to read this book about their grandparents and have a story that's fabricated.” And that's when Kendall brings up one of the best points yet. “She goes around dissing the Kardashians, but it's like 'those are the kids that you raised. If you have a problem with them, you raised them ,'” she says. “That makes no sense to me that she would go around bashing us for no reason.” And that, it turns out, is what Kendall believes is so insane. Check out Kendall's outburst in full in the video below:

Demi Lovato Throws All the Shade at Kathy Griffin

Sorry, Kathy Griffin. But Demi Lovato is not sorry. Nor is she having any part of your lame press conference. On Friday afternoon, Griffin sat alongside her attorney and whined about the way Donald Trump and his family have treated her over the past few days. Both the President, his kids and his wife have had some choice words for the comedian after she posed for a photo shoot during which she held a bloody, decapitated head of the Commander-in-Chief. Both Donald and Melania Trump called out Griffin for traumatizing their 11-year old son with this pictorial, while those from both sides of the aisle have also slammed Griffin. In her press conference yesterday, Griffin accused Trump and his family members of “bullying” her and “trying to ruin my life forever, telling reporters: “I don’t think I will have a career after this. I think he … I’m going to be honest, he broke me. He broke me, and then I was like, ‘No, this isn’t right.'” Griffin may be right about the whole career-ending thing. She has lost one sponsorship deal and been fired by CNN . But nearly everyone thinks she deserves it, considering the inappropriate, offensive, ridiculous nature of her actions here. (Everyone except Jim Carrey, that is, who has stood up for Griffin .) “There’s a bunch of old white guys trying to silence me, and I’m just hear to say that’s wrong,” Griffin said on Friday, adding: “You don’t have to like me, but you shouldn’t silence a comic.” This is a strange line of defense, in our opinion. FIRST, you need to be funny in order to be a comedian, don’t you? So Griffin doesn’t really fit the description. SECOND, why would comedians be free to say and do whatever they want? THIRD, no one is silencing Griffin. She may utter anything she likes and pose for any photos she wants. But, like anyone else, she also prepare for consequences as a result. And that’s where Lovato comes in. Someone who has often spoken out against bullying, the singer clearly is angry that Griffin is trying to play the victim card. She effed up. She has apologized and claims to know she effed up … so what the heck is Kathy talking about?!? “I find it funny when bullies play the victims,” Lovato Tweeted shortly after Griffin’s press conference, adding: “Oops. I spilled my tea.” Point. Game. Match, Demi Lovato, right? It’s hard to find fault with her simple message and logic here. This isn’t the first time Lovato and Griffin had a spat on social media, either. In March of 2014, the stars feuded on Twitter after Griffin was asked to call out the “biggest douche celebrity,” responding at the time: Will Griffin call another press conference next week to yell at Lovato? Or will she maybe come to the realization that she should shut the heck up? And that she’s only digging her grave deeper and deeper? And that she’s just flat out wrong in this case and is only helping the other political side by using her platform in this manner? Seriously, Katrhy Griffin. Zip it.

Bill Maher Uses N-Word on His Show; Twitter Explodes

Why is Bill Maher the worst? Serious question. He insists on making outrageous, offensive statements because … well, we don’t know why, exactly. We just know that it never, ever seems to stop. Just last month Bill made an incest joke about Donald and Ivanka Trump, saying “When he’s about to nuke Finland or something, she’s gonna walk into the bedroom and — ‘Daddy, Daddy. Don’t do it, Daddy.'” He then made a gesture indicating that she’d grab his penis to calm him down. He also once compared Zayn Malik to Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev , which, you know, isn’t great. The point is that he’s known for pushing boundaries at each and every opportunity. And apparently he thought last night’s episode of Real Time with Bill Maher was a great chance to be a jackass. His guest last night was Nebraska Senator Bill Sasse, and at one point, Sasse invited Bill to visit Nebraska. “We’d love to have you work in the fields with us,” he told him, smiling. Bill, in his strange little mind, felt the appropriate response was to say “Work in the fielnds? Senator, I’m a house n—–.” Bill Maher Says the N-Word on Real Time His audience had some mixed responses, and understandably so, but Bill was quick to assure them that it was a joke. But Twitter wasn’t convinced. “I for one am shocked that giant racist Bill Maher is in fact a giant racist,” one person tweeted. Another wrote “Bill Maher said the N-word? Wow this totally changes my previously high opinion of that smug Islamophobic misogynistic attention-whore.” One person theorized that “Bill Maher seems way too comfortable using the n-word. I mean, that came naturally to him. That… says a lot. And none of it is good.” And, for the obligatory “hold my beer” joke, someone tweeted “‘Nobody can screw up a career better than me’ Tiger Woods ‘Hold my beer’ Kathy Griffin ‘No, both of you hold my latte’ Bill Maher.” Meanwhile, Ben Sasse himself took to Twitter to discuss the controversy. “I’m a 1st Amendment absolutist,” he began. “Comedians get latitude to cross hard lines.” “But free speech comes with a responsibility to speak up when folks use that word. Me just cringing last night wasn’t good enough.” He wrote that he wished he’d been able to gather his thoughts enough in the moment to say “Hold up, why would you think it’s OK to use that word?” View Slideshow: 14 Celebrity N-Word Scandals “The history of the n-word is an attack on universal human dignity. It’s therefore an attack on the American Creed. Don’t use it.” Too little, too late, or an appropriate response? It’s hard to know when everything is such a great big awful mess.

Mariah Carey to Bryan Tanaka: Marry Me NOW!

Dating is one thing, but is Mariah Carey really ready to get married to boytoy dancer Bryan Tanaka? Reportedly, she’s not only ready to tie the knot but actively pressuring him to propose. “Bryan’s eating out of her palm again now and Mariah’s desperate to seal the deal before they get sabotaged again,” an insider claims. The report that  Mariah is pressuring Bryan  comes from RadarOnline and their source. We’d really rather hear it directly from Mariah … though obviously she’d never just come out and say that. It’s not a casual Katy Perry diss, after all. Not everyone’s onboard with their relationship, either. “So many people from both their circles have tried to keep them apart, but she’s convinced they have what it takes to last the course,” the source says. Well, all sides being against the union sounds like a tragic romance. Not always the best set-up when there are children in the mix. Even the anonymous insider cautioned that Mariah’s feelings aren’t set in stone: “Obviously, her feelings change like the wind each day, but to be fair Bryan has a hold over her that no other guy’s had for a long time.” Yes, even the unidentified tipster has doubts. Again, it’s usually healthy to view things coming from “a source” with a grain of salt. But this isn’t the least believable story in the world. Bryan was her backup dancer back in 2006, so they’ve known each other for eleven years. That is a long-ass time to know someone, even just as friends. And, um, they’re clearly more than that. Before we get ahead of ourselves, we do need to think a little about context. Mariah’s breakup with billionaire James Packer was, well, reportedly because of all kinds of things, from allegations of cheating with Bryan Tanaka to extravagant spending habits. The spending thing sounds pretty realistic to us — financial disagreements are a very common, if not terribly salacious, reason for breakups. But if she was spending too much for James’ liking, how is she going to go from being a sugar baby to a sugar momma? Well, as much of a sugar baby as Mariah could have been since she’s worth half a billion — and as much of a sugar baby as Bryan can be if he’s worth around a million. It’s all relative, apparently. Still, it doesn’t seem like it’s the best next step for her to take in a relationship. Maybe she isn’t thinking with her head right now. Hopefully, she’ll make the best decision for herself and her children. You don’t want to get married based on thirst alone. Not when you’re nearly fifty. And super not when you have kids.

Ariana Grande Manchester Concert: Sold Out! In 6 Minutes!

In response to last week’s horrible suicide bombing in Manchester,  Ariana Grande penned an emotional letter that partially read as follows: Music is something that everyone on Earth can share. Music is meant to heal us, to bring us together, to make us happy. So that is what it will continue to do for us. We will continue in honor of the ones we lost, their loved ones, my fans and all affected by this tragedy. As it turns out, the singer is not the only person who feels this way. Within six minutes of tickets going on sale for Grande’s upcoming tribute concert, multiple outlets confirm that the event sold out. Totally and completely. In just six minutes. Makes you feel pretty good about humanity, doesn’t it? That so many people are willing to head back to the scene of this awful crime , in order to prove to the terrorists that they don’t scare us… and also to raise money for all affected by this tragedy? As previously detailed, this special show will take place June 4 at the Emirates Old Trafford Cricket Ground. Among the act who will join Grande on stage will be Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus Coldplay and Justin Bieber. Proceeds from the concert will go to the Red Cross’ Manchester Emergency Fund and be used to benefit the victims and the families affected by the suicide bombing at Grande’s Manchester Arena concert on May 22. In that act of terrorism, 22 people were killed and over 100 were injured. Those who attended this original concert have been offered free tickets; the remainder went on sale for on Thursday morning for $52. Shortly after the event sold out, Ticketmaster released a statement that assured these original concert goers they would be covered. It reads as follows: “We would like to reassure any fans that were at the show that they will receive a free ticket for One Love Manchester, provided we can verify their initial booking. We thank fans for their patience as we continue to process the registrations. “We want to give all fans who were at the show, regardless of where they bought their tickets, every opportunity to register for One Love Manchester. “We’ve opened up the registration again today, until 2 p.m.” It’s unclear where E! News gets its estimate from, but the website approximates that this show will bring in about $2.6 million. Pretty amazing, huh? View Slideshow: Manchester Bombing: A Tribute to the Victims Niall Horan is one of the artists who will participate, saying this about the event on SiriusXM yesterday: “I’m good friends with Ariana. She called me up and asked me if I would I be involved, and obviously, it was a no brainer. It was a terrible thing to happen. “But Ariana can pull some of her friends together and get on stage and raise some needed money for the victims of a terrible attack. “I guess that’s the least we can do as artists: get up there and sing a few songs and try to put some smiles on some faces.” Amen to that. We salute Grande and everyone taking part in this concert. And we continue to send our condolences to everyone associated with the tragedy of May 22.

Jill & Jessa Duggar: Look at Izzy & Baby Henry! Don’t Worry About Josh Duggar!

Those of us without Hulu who can’t watch The Handmaid’s Tale can always keep up with the Duggars. It’s basically the same. Aside from things like scandals, the usual reality show drama, and questions about the Duggar family’s finances , the Duggars are known for having kids. That’s kind of their whole thing. And while their fringe cultural stuff and the way that they separate themselves from the world make plenty of people uncomfortable — heck, the sheer number of children make people uncomfortable — you kinda have to admit that they produce some cute kids. That’s two-year-old Israel, Jill and Derick Dillard’s cutie, snuggling with his baby cousin, Henry. Henry, of course, is Jessa and Ben Seewald’s baby. And yes, he is adorable. Israel’s going to be a big brother, so this shameless photo-op is also a good sign that he’s excited at the prospect. Everybody outside of restaurants and airplanes loves babies, right? But it’s especially important for older siblings to feel that hype. Now, Henry’s a pretty run-of-the-mill name, almost surprisingly so for this family. Israel’s a little more on-brand for Duggar names, but it’s not totally unheard of. The abbreviation of his name to “Izzy” in a family that places so much emphasis on specific gender roles is kind of a surprise. For that lot, it’s downright progressive. Neither of those names can hold a candle to Spurgeon, Henry’s one-year-old brother. There’s no telling how many people have betting pools going for how old he’ll be before he changes his name. Like these kids weren’t going to have a hard enough time growing up in a fertility cult in front of millions of viewers. Cute kids are fine and well, but we have to remember that this family still has its issues. Take, gasp , Jinger’s controversial wearing of pants . Like some kind of harlot. You know, because she’s a girl, and if people know that girls have actual legs they’ll turn to stone or fly into lustful frenzies. Or something. That kind of thinking was considered dated back in the 1930s, and it is now 2017, no matter how hard the Duggar family drags its heels. Then of course there’s the ominous news of Josh Duggar appearing on Counting On , because the sexual predator who got that family’s first show canceled totally needs more screen time. We’re all supposed to look at some cute kids and pretend that Josh’s creepy actions have magically gone away? What’s worse, his family seemed to think that his predatory past wasn’t as big of an issue as the Josh Duggar cheating scandal or even using pornography. Just because this family seems eager to forgive and forget in exchange for more lucrative reality television contracts doesn’t mean that the rest of are going to.

Ben Higgins Claps Back at Haters, Explains How "Life Happens"

THIS JUST IN: Ben Higgins is not a perfect person. You may have previously thought the ex-Bachelor star was infallible, but Higgins is here to tell you otherwise. Back in mid-May, Higgins and Lauren Bushnell finally broke up . The split was a very long time in the making, considering Higgins called off the couple’s engagement last fall (on an episode of their Freeform reality show, natch) – and considering there had been rumors that Higgins was still in touch with JoJo Fletcher . The latter allegation was never proven correct, but chatter about the twosome’s demise was clearly on the right track. “It is with heavy hearts that we announce our decision to go our separate ways,” Ben and Lauren said in a joint statement on May 15, adding: “We feel fortunate for all the time that we had together, and we will remain friends with much love and respect for one another. “We wish nothing but the best for each other, and ask for your support and understanding at this time.” Your basic, run of the mill celebrity break-up statement for the most part. A few days after this split went viral, Higgins opened up about his failed relationship on a podcast. “Lauren will always be one of my best friends,” the former Bachelor said , adding on air: “It’s tough. It’s hard to say goodbye to somebody that you spent so much time with and it’s hard to say goodbye to somebody that you really did believe was the one for you.” But did Ben really believe this? Or did he string Bushnell along, after asking her to give up her career and move to Denver for him, no less? We may never know for certain, but Higgins has been under a great deal of fire on social media for his treatment of Lauren. And he’s finally had it. Taking to Instagram last night, Higgins went off on a nice little rant, slamming his critics and trying to explain that he never meant Bushnell any harm “I cannot focus on the negative comments or indecently hateful words being said about me or my relationship even though they do sting,” he wrote alongside a photo of himself and his podcast co-host Ashley Iaconetti. But Ben was far from finished. “I will once again clearly tell you I AM NOT PERFECT as none of us are and I have never claimed to be,” he wrote, going on as follows: “The last few months have not gone the way I would have preferred. My relationships have changed drastically and what I envisioned my life was going to be has been redirected. “It is sad, but it is nothing you should feel sorry for me about, life happens both the good and bad.” Ben apparently has been receiving some flak for starting a podcast, perhaps because folks this he only went on The Bachelor to further his professional agenda. “I do desire to show love in all situations (do I always do that? No, I fail often),” Higgins wrote in this same post, addressing this negative talk and adding: “To be clear, not that this should be a surprise, but this podcast is a professional decision I have made to enhance my life and career.” Higgins concluded his lengthy post by offering some life advice to his followers. What makes him qualified to dole it out? Who knows. View Slideshow: 17 Most Shocking Moments in Bachelor History: Who Can Forget #13?! But he still wrote: Love as hard as you can (even to strangers). Ask yourself what life is about and pursue your conclusion with passion. When a good opportunity comes your way that fits your desires take it, because life is short but a lot more fun when you are doing something you enjoy.

Kendall Jenner Finally Reacts to Caitlyn Jenner’s Tell-All: Watch!

Kendall Jenner has a lot in common with her famous sisters: she's gorgeous, she's famous, she's never been accused of being the brightest crayon in the box . But there's one significant thing that's different about her, and that's the way she handles her fame. Where her sisters are usually all over social media, sharing selfie after selfie, and doing interviews at every chance they get, Kendall is a little more reserved. She really seems to be focusing on her modeling career , and it also looks like she's trying to distance herself a bit from the Kardashian name. As such, she hasn't really made a statement one way or another about Caitlyn Jenner's scandalous new memoir , The Secrets of My Life. Until now, that is. In a new sneak peek for this week's episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, the family is still hung up on Caitlyn. It seems that unlike some of the others, Kendall didn't read the book herself — we see her asking Kim what exactly Caitlyn wrote. The trusty narrator of the sneak peeks lets us know that “Caitlyn's truth pushes the family away,” which is something we've been seeing a lot this season. And in this clip, Caitlyn's truth seems to be pushing Kendall away specifically. In a later conversation with Kris Jenner, we see Kendall crying out “It's insane, Mom! That's insane!”, while slapping her hands on a table for emphasis. Looks like yet another family member may be preparing to cut ties with Caitlyn . Check out the sadness in the video below:

Kourtney Kardashian to Scott Disick: Check Out My Butt!

The Kardashian girls have a lot in common. Not just money, or fame, or initials, or their family’s brand of Christianity, or certain personality traits that might be described as narcissistic. Though, obviously, all of those things. They also have just truly spectacular derrieres. Love them or hate them, you have to admit that their butts are stellar. Kourtney Kardashian may be a little quieter than Kim or Khloe, but ass photos speak louder than words. It’s not a subtle look and it’s not a subtle photo — it’s a butt selfie. It’s not even the only ass shot that she shared. But who’s going to complain? Certainly not model and boy toy Younes Bendjima , who has some looks of his own. The whole idea of having a boytoy is to presumably either have fun or to get revenge on Scott Disick — or maybe both.  It’s possible that Younes wants fame or wants a comfortable lifestyle or what-have-you. Let’s not forget, however, that Kourtney is a major MILF and hot enough to land pretty much any model she likes. Yeah. Kourtney’s done some modeling of her own, remember, and being a mom hasn’t dropped her level of sexiness by even a notch. And she’s going to keep flaunting her ass ets, even when she’s cuddling with her children. Maybe especially when snuggling up with her kids. First of all, wow, she looks great as always, and it looks like as close to a “candid shot” as we can get when it comes to the Kardashians. Little Reign Disick is still adorable.  It’s Reign’s presence in the photo that makes us wonder about her motives, though. Scott’s bound to look through Kourtney’s photos sometimes, especially now that Bella Thorne has moved on . Who hasn’t gone through their ex’s Instagram photos — and invariably regretted it? But even if Scott has the self-control to avoid pouring through Kourtney’s thirst traps — because, you know, Scott has such a reputation for self-control, right? — you know that he’s going to look at pictures of his kids. View Slideshow: Kourtney Kardashian Birthday Pics: Bikinis and Belfies Galore! So you kind of have to think that Kourtney’s decision to share that particular Reign photo had as much to do with a little stab of revenge as anything else. And you know what? She’s entitled to it. Good for her.

Artist Adds Pissing Pug Statue Next to "Fearless Girl," Draws Internet Ire

The Fearless Girl statue is once again in the news. Because some easily-irritated guy has had a very immature response to it. No, this idiot didn’t hump the Fearless Girl, like some giant douchebags have done in the past . But he did take even more thought-out steps to humiliate her. First, some background: The “Fearless Girl” was placed opposite the sculpture of a bull (created by Arturo Di Modica and meant as a power symbol for the financial sector of Wall Street) in downtown New York City in March on International Women’s Day on a temporary permit. It was meant to represent women’s rights and equality and how females ought to play a vital role in the American economy. Under pressure from women’s groups, Mayor Bill De Blasio extended the permit for an additional 11 months. And neither of these acts sat well with artist Alex Gardega, who has chosen to retaliate with a work of his own. In the form of a urinating dog. Right at the food of the Fearless Girl. Seriously: Gardega created a statue of a small dog, titled “Pissing Pug,” and this lewd pooch is aiming his pee stream directly at “Fearless Girl.” At her left leg, to be exact. What inspired such an angry act? “This is corporate nonsense,” Gardega told The New York Post of “Fearless Girl,” explaining that it was placed across from the bull statue as a publicity stunt by a Boston-based financial firm and adding: “It has nothing to do with feminism, and it is disrespect to the artist that made the bull. That bull had integrity.” A resident of the Upper West Side, the sculptor didn’t beat around any bushes. He came right out and expounded on how he views “Fearless Girl,” telling the newspaper: “I decided to build this dog and make it crappy to downgrade the statue, exactly how the girl is a downgrade on the bull.” Gardega has never met Di Modica. He’s acting on his own controversial accord here. (It’s worth noting, however, that Di Modica is suing the aforementioned financial firm that sponsored “Fearless Girl,” arguing that it unfairly implicates his creation and changes the interpretation of his art.) Di Modica has not yet commented on the pissing pug. But many users on Twitter certainly have: “I have a lot of empathy for the creator of the bull, Arturo,” Gardega told NBC. “I’m a pretty happy person, not seething or angry and certainly not anti-feminist. My piece is not without a sense of humor. There is plenty of room for ‘Fearless Girl.’ “It just interferes with another artist’s work/vision.” Gardega has removed the dog statue (he never had any legal right to bolt it to the ground) and further explained his actions as follows: “I took it away personally. I didn’t want to leave it to be taken and certainly had no rights to bolt it to the ground. Most people were amused or perplexed by it.” We never thought we’d ask this question, but sound off below: Are you on Team Fearless Girl or Team Pissing Pug?
