Kylie Jenner Strips Down, Poses with Snake, Teases 2017 Calendar

Kylie Jenner has gotten nearly naked in two new photos posted on her Instagram account. We know, we know: What’s newsworthy about that? At this point, we should really only alert readers to the few times where Kylie Jenner does NOT get nearly naked. But did we mention that she’s posing with a giant snake that runs the length of her body this time around? Because she is. The 19-year-old Keeping Up With the Kardashians actress offered up a tease of her new calendar to followers on Sunday, sharing a couple images from the pictorial recently snapped by controversial photographer Terry Richardson. He’s best known for taking pictures of young female celebrities in various states of undress. The cover of this 2017 calendar features Kylie with blonde hair, rocking lacy black lingerie and a crown for some reason. The back calendar cover, meanwhile, depicts the reality star lying on her stomach, hand propping her head up… with a boa constrictor draped across her lower back and legs. “I want to keep the rest of the photos a secret, because I want you guys to be surprised,” Kylie previewed as a caption, turning her attention to Richardson and adding: “So f–king bomb, Terry!” The calendar features “all exclusive Terry photos,” as teased on KylieJennerShop.com, which is where the item will be on sale, starting December 10. “Check out my snapchat for a preview xoxo!” Kylie told Instagram followers who may be interested in this calendar as a stocking stuffer. (Richardson has worked in the past with Khloe Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Kris Jenner and Kanye West. (He also photographed Kylie for Galore’s September 2015 issue, published a mere month after she became a legal adult. How sweet.) Jenner shared the racy snapshots on the heels of a few other racy snapshots. Over the weekend, Kylie showed off her mansion and her body via a set of thong bikini-themed photographs . Yes, that really is the teenager’s home in the background. Although were guessing that your attention isn’t exactly on the building in this picture, is it? The pictures have also gone viral in the wake of a new Kylie Jenner pregnant rumor . But there’s a twist to this one: according to Starcasm sources, Kylie may have been cheating on Tyga with a rapper named Savage 21 (not his real name) and the bun in her oven actually belongs to him , not to Tyga. How scandalous! If true, that is. We somehow doubt that it is. What do you think? Is Kylie pregnant? With another man’s baby? If so, you should savor photos such as the ones posted above. You may not be seeing similar ones from Kylie Jenner in 2017 as her alleged baby bump grows. View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner Selfies: A Kandid Kollection

The Voice Recap: Bring on the Live Semifinal Showdown!

Following the  Top 10 results , paring the field down to eight last week, The Voice survivors steeled themselves for the epic battle ahead. The margin for error? Getting slimmer by the minute … because FOUR SINGERS WILL BE OUT of the competition by this time tomorrow. Who will earn one of the coveted four spots in the epic season finale? We have our favorites, but America as a whole will make that call. Without further delay, let’s break down the top eight and see who punched their ticket to next week, and who might be sweating this out … Christian Cuevas Christian opted to perform to “To Worship I Live (Away)” by Israel & New Breed. Being this late in the game and fighting for your life in the game, you would think Christian would have tried to make the performance memorable. The vocals were on point, but it would not have hurt to change things up. Singing in the same style is not going to win him any more voters. Viewers want a versatile singer, who can change things up at the drop of a hat. Ali Caldwell Ali went with “I Will Always Love You” by Whitney Houston. Ali genuinely delivered one of the better performances of the night. It was definitely her best performance throughout her stint on the show and hopefully she has made the cut to make it to Final 4.  Brendan Fletcher Brendan went with “Angel” by Sarah McLachlan. You guys, Brendan has a strong voice, but like Christian Cuevas, he’s not changing things up enough to show off what else he has to offer. It’s sad, but this was his opportunity and he may well have blew it.  Wé McDonald Wé needed a good performance after last week’s mediocre affair, but singing “Scars to your Beautiful” by Alessia Cara was not the way to go. She practically stumbled through the performance and it will probably result in her losing her ticket to the final. Aaron Gibson Aaron went with “Everything I Do” by Bryan Adams. Let’s just say, he did not start performing until half way through. Seriously, it was like he was doing karaoke for the first half and becoming a star for the second.  Josh Gallagher Josh went with “Danny’s Song” by Loggins & Messina. It was a solid performance, but not perfect. However, on a night with many dud performances, he should make it through.  Sundance Head Sundance opted for “Love Can Build a Bridge” by The Judds. It was another solid performance that proved why he’s still in the competition. Final 4 is a no brainer for this one.  Billy Gilman Billy completely murdered “I Surrender” by Celine Dion. Seriously, you guys, he ruined it and it will be shocking if he makes it through to the next stage.  Wé Mcdonald & Aaron Gibson This duo opted to perform “FourFiveSeconds” by Rihanna & Paul McCartney. This was an odd song for a duet and it showed of Wé’s vocals way more than Aaron’s. Not fair.  Sundance Head & Josh Gallagher This duo went with “Feelin’ Alright” by Joe Cocker. It was another one-sided duet that made it clear these are only a thing to fill the runtime of the show.  Christian Cuevas & Billy Gilman “Unsteady” by X Ambassadors was a terrible, terrible song choice. If anything, it made me think worse of both artists.  Brendan Fletcher & Ali Caldwell “It’s Only Love” by Bryan Adams and Tina Turner turned out to be a surprisingly effortless affair. However, one out of four duets being decent is just terrible. That’s a wrap, you guys! Who do you think will be eliminated? Sound off below!

Stevie J: Confirmed as Joseline Hernandez Baby Daddy … and Excited About It!

Stevie J is Joseline’s baby daddy, and the combative Love & Hip Hop Atlanta stars have come together in honor of their future offspring. It’s a rather incredible turn of events, and yet … not. She was never concretely linked to anyone else (sorry Young Dro), so fans can’t be shocked that the longtime couple conceived a kid. Based on pure evidence, Stevie J being the father seemed the most likely outcome; Joseline originally insisted he was, for that matter. But if you watch Love & Hip Hop Atlanta online , you can’t help but be surprised by the sweet words both just shared about each other. Late last week, Stevie J dropped jaws across the ATL and the nation as he mused that he can “see himself getting back together” with her. Yes, Steven Jordan actually said that he missed being with Joseline Hernandez, and that in the future, who knows what could happen. Granted, the comments came as Stevie ramped up the publicity machine for Leave It To Stevie , his official spin-off (see trailer below). Stevie J Spinoff: First Amazing Look! He was going to be making public comments about his personal life no matter what, and those comments were going to keep us guessing. Nevertheless, it was alleged that Young Dro was getting it on with Joseline Hernandez, a rumor fueled by the fact that he’s joining LHHA . More significantly, Joseline and Stevie making up like this feels improbable because they’ve been feuding for literally this entire year. And HARD no less. This is a woman who accused him of disavowing their unborn kid, being addicted to gay porn, and being a deadbeat child molester. Stevie even sought a restraining order at one point … from Joseline’s  verbal assaults. Not your standard lovers’ quarrel in other words. The turnaround, or at least the beginnings of it came two weeks ago, however, when Stevie J agreed to take a paternity test she wanted. He agreed under the condition that if he was in fact the father of her baby, he would get full custody of it … and he seemed serious. Stevie claimed Joseline is an unfit mother, which very well may be the case for a number of reasons, but could also be a moot point: Over the weekend, Stevie uploaded a video to Instagram that floored his followers before removing it ( Starcasm got the screen grab ). In the clip, he jokes about Joseline only making him breakfast because he brings home “a big check” and mentions that she’s due in four weeks. And yes, it’s very much his kid. Then he confirms in the caption that the woman he called his wife is expecting a baby girl and that they will name her Bonnie Bella. “Bonnie Bella is 4 weeks away!” Stevie wrote. “@joseline we may not always get along & we have done some hurtful things to each other but raising a child takes both parents.” “I’m all in. #BonnieBellaJordan” Very sweet … if it lasts. That’s a very big if, considering their relationship, and the fact that he’s facing jail time for back child support payments for two of his children. Oh, and then there’s the minor issue that Stevie J got Ms. Jackson pregnant , allegedly, after he reportedly cheated on Faith Evans . The man kept busy during his split with Joseline, that’s for damn sure, but hey. All’s well that ends well in the Jordan-Hernandez household? Needless to say, we wish Bonnie Bella a safe delivery a month from now, and pray that her VH1 star parents tone down the insanity. As much as they’re able.

Kim Zolciak & Brielle Biermann Post Competing Racy Selfies!

Kim Zolciak and Brielle Biermann are at very different stages of their life, but they have one important thing in common … … a deep love of revealing selfies! Kim posted the photo above over the weekend, along with a lenghty caption describing her love for her favorite “look.” “Sooooo unless I’m working … filming I mean or entertaining guests I wear this EVERY SINGLE DAY!” Kim wrote. “The second I can I put this hot little number on I do! I have worn this ‘look’ for 5 years ever since I was pregnant with Kj! “Thx to La Perla for the comfy pants, UGG for my comfy yet can leave the house in them slippers and ATM tanks (rolling the tank up for ya to make it a little sexier! #LetsNotForgetMyRobe #ThatsMyFavoriteAccessory I know how much my girls enjoy this look.” Usually when a celeb gushes about an item of clothing like this, it means they’re endorsing something. We’d say that’s the case here, but if Kim is hocking some particular item, she’s doing a horrendous job. Is this an advertisement for … tank tops? Robes? Tell us what we’re supposed to be buying, Kim! There’s no such confusion with Brielle who makes it perfectly clear what we’re supposed to be focused on: her ass! Yes, Brielle is selling nothing but herself, and for that, we thank her. Brielle is dating Michael Kopech , a minor league pitcher with the Boston Red Sox farm team, and it seems the two of them recently took a pre-holiday vacation to the Bahamas. Most importantly, the trip offered an opportunity for some off-season Brielle bikini pics. When you have the kind of money and time that Brielle does, you can just chase summer all over the globe. View Slideshow: Brielle Zolciak: Photos of Instagram’s Hottest New Star! It’s not the kind of lifestyle that most minor league pitchers lead, so Michael has lucked out in more ways than one. Not only does he get to live a lavish lifestyle, he gets to do so in the company of #DatAss. We might be a bit confused about Kim’s selfie, but we know exactly how to feel about Brielle and Michael’s Instagram pages: jealous!

Racist Trolls Freak Out Over Black Santa Claus at Mall

SPOILER ALERT: Santa Claus is not real. But this hasn't stopped a handful of racist Internet users from freaking out over the Mall of America in Minnesota daring to feature a Saint Nick played by Larry Jefferson-Gamble. Nevermind the fact that Jefferson-Gamble is a retired U.S. Army veteran. He's black! And the response of idiotic bigots to this fact prompted the Minnesota Star-Tribune to shut down the comments section for a simple profile of the mall’s first black Santa. Elsewhere, a CBS Minnesota report was also bombarded with negative and comments, leading us to wonder what the heck is wrong with a certain segment of the population. Because we want to keep believing that love trumps hate, however, we're here to present only POSITIVE social media reactions to Jefferson-Gamble as Santa. Why let the racists win, right? 1. This is What We’re Up Against Seriously, look at these comments. Talk about depressing… 2. Well Said, George Takei! We wish he wasn’t able to make this point, but history sadly speaks for itself. 3. Kind, Engaging and Thoughtful But… he’s black! 4. Such a Simple Concept Why is this so hard for people to grasp? 5. A Reason to Believe If not in Santa, at least in equality. 6. Wait for Me, Santa! Save me a spot on your lap please! View Slideshow

Kim Kardashian: Is She Leaving Kanye West?!?

Kanye West is out of the hospital. But will he soon be out of a wife as well? As most of the free world knows by now, Kanye was just released after nine days inside of UCLA Medical Center. He was hospitalized after some kind altercation with an employee at a gym, which promoted Kanye’s personal physician to call 911 out of concern for his famous client. This incident followed a series of bizarre headlines centered around the rapper, from his claim that he is a fan of Donald Trump… to his bashing of Beyonce… to his cancelation of the rest of his Saint Pablo tour this year. Numerous insiders have since reported that Kanye didn’t merely suffer a nervous breakdown … … but he continues to suffer from various mental issues. What brought on these problems? The most reliable outlets seem to believe it was a combination of two factors: The ongoing trauma of wife Kim Kardashian being assaulted and robbed at gunpoint in Paris in October. The anniversary of his mother’s death in 2007. Sources have said that West never properly dealt with the latter, while he can’t stop dealing with the former, creating endless amounts of stress. Throughout his hospitalization, however, Kanye could count on the support of Kardashian. She remained by his bedside nearly around the clock. But it didn’t take long for the rumor mill to churn and for websites to claim that Kim may have been physically next to Kanye… but it was a different story emotionally. “The trauma of the [robbery] made her more hesitant to do things,” according to Us Weekly, referring to how Kanye had been forced to tour on his own since the armed robbery. “Of course it strained their relationship,” the tabloid added. “Because she hadn’t seen him.” Suddenly, fans were wondering if Kim and Kanye were getting divorced . And it didn’t help when People Magazine confirmed that West and Kardashian are living apart at the moment . It’s mostly a safety precaution, due to Kanye’s mental state, but still. The optics aren’t very good. However, E! News is here to put these divorce rumors to rest. Kanye “will remain getting outpatient treatment till he is fully recovered,” a source told the outlet over the weekend, emphasizing that Kardashian is still closely involved in the rapper’s life. “Kim wants him to continue getting therapy even after all of this. He has support from so many people.” View Slideshow: Kanye West is Over Party: Twitter Users Celebrate Rapper’s Alleged Demise Kardashian hasn’t returned to social media or made any public appearance since the robbery. She has A LOT going on these days. But she’s “doing okay,” E! writes and she certainly isn’t leaving her marriage any time soon: “She has many things on her plate so being overwhelmed is expected. She wants to get Kanye back on his feet. She is not leaving him. She loves him.” And in case one insider’s opinion isn’t enough to sway you, a second adds to E! News: “Kim will of course always stay by Kanye’s side and support him and help him through it all.” View Slideshow: Kim Kardashian: 19 Reasons Why She Isn’t That Terrible Kim and Kanye’s son, Saint West, turns one year old today. So the family will likely be together to savor and celebrate this milestone. It’s unclear when we’ll see Kim or Kanye in public again, together or individually. But does it even matter at this point? Go take care of yourselves, Kim and Kanye. Go get better, physically and emotionally. You’ll be welcomed back by fans with open arms once you do.

Amy Duggar & Dillon King: Headed For Divorce?!

Last week, fans were shocked by a Marriage Boot Camp trailer in which Amy Duggar described being attacked by her husband, Dillon King. Amy says Dillon lifted her up by her throat during an argument, and not surprisingly, fans are now encouraging her to kick him to the curb. The preview doesn’t offer any context for the shocking act of violence, but this is a case where it doesn’t matter. Dillon didn’t say something he can’t take back; he became physically violent with his partner, which is unforgivable in any situation that doesn’t involve self-defense. In the days since the clip went public, fans have been taking to the Duggar family’s official Facebook page with pleas for Amy to get out of her clearly troubled marriage. “If your husband choked you that’s not love,” wrote one concerned follower. “No one has the right to assault others. If someone who claims to love you is hurting you, run.” Others echoed the sentiment, with many pointing out that this is not the only instance in which Amy and Dillon have shown signs of strain in their marriage: Amy Duggar & Dillon Kind Discuss Babies, Spinoffs In the Facebook video above, Amy and Dillon briefly argue (around the 10-minute mark) about how many kids they’d like to have. It’s a minor squabble that could hint at a deeper issue. It’s strange that Amy and Dillon didn’t discuss such an important matter before they got engaged, especially since she comes from a family that’s famous for its unorthodox views on child-rearing.  They do, however, agree that they want to have kids, and at one point they even seem to hint that they’ll soon be hosting their own home renovation show. Rumors of an Amy and Dillon spinoff have been circulating for months, and now it seems a deal has been reached, but at this point, details are scarce. Regardless of the nature of the project, the fact that these two are planning babies and business ventures together is a pretty sure sign that they won’t be separating any time soon. Amy and Dillon just got married  in September of last year, and divorce is virtually unheard of in the Duggars’ circle, so you can expect the Kings to try and stick things out. Here’s hoping they can peacefully sort out what seem to be some major issues. View Slideshow: Amy Duggar Swimsuit Photos: Girl Gone (Sort of) WILD!

Madonna: Marry Me (Again), Sean Penn!

Look, Madonna is a remarkably embarrassing human being, she just is. She’s also a legend, sure, but that doesn’t give her a pass. A lot of people think this is some age discrimination , like “what, Madonna is 58 years old so she can’t be sexy and have fun anymore?” And that’s absolutely not the case. No, if any person, no matter if they were 1 or 100 or any age in between, behaved the way Madonna behaves , it would be an honest-to-goodness shame, it really would. It’s just that she’s so very, very desperate for attention . Like she can’t handle the fact that perhaps her popularity isn’t what it used to be, and she has to do stunt after stunt to just get a little bit more of the spotlight. Come on, why else would she rock as many grills as she does ? And why else would she act like as hot a mess as she did last night? Yep, buckle up, friends, because we’ve got a wild and wacky Madonna story to share with you right the hell now. See, last night, Madonna hosted a charity gala for Malawi, the African nation where her 11-year-old son, David, was born. She managed to raise over $7.5 million, which is amazing, it really is. But boy, did she pull some ridiculous sh-t along the way. Because Madonna’s ex-husband, Sean Penn, was there too, right? The two got married in 1985, but they stayed together for just four years before they got divorced. There have been persistent rumors for years that he was majorly abusive to her, but she’s denied those rumors, and she’s even made it clear that she still has strong feelings for him . Back in January, they did another charity gala together, and Madonna gave a speech all about how amazing she thinks Sean is. During the speech, she got all gushy, telling him “I want to say that, Sean, I love you. From the moment that I laid eyes on you. And I still love you, just the same.” And, well, last night she took things a step further. “I’m still in love with you,” she told Sean. And then, just when you thought things couldn’t get any more romantic and/or creepy, she said that she would marry him again, right then and there — if he bid $150,000 on a piece of jewelry. And he did . We’re not sure about whether or not they’ve gotten hitched yet, but someone did have the presence of mind to play a wedding march. Sean hopped on stage, crawled between Madonna’s legs, and then handcuffed her. Why? We may never know. But, hilariously enough, Madonna did joke while Sean was handcuffing her that “For once, he’s not the one being arrested.” Oh, Madonna, you’re in love with a criminal! How sweet! Best of wishes to this former, maybe present couple, we guess. View Slideshow: 10 Controversial Photos of Madonna

Last Tango in Paris Director Admits to Conspiring to Film Actual Rape

A newly-surfaced interview with Bernardo Bertolucci has revealed a horrifying confession. According to the director, he and Marlo Brando conspired in 1972 to shoot a scene in the film Last Tango in Paris that depicted the actor actually raping co-star Maria Schneider with a stick of butter. Brando was 48 at the time of the movie and Schneider was 19, with the later saying herself back in 2007 that the famous scene was actually a sexual violation. “I felt humiliated and to be honest, I felt a little raped, both by Marlon and by Bertolucci,” she wrote in an essay for The Daily Mail. “After the scene, Marlon didn’t console me or [apologize]. Thankfully, there was just one take.” Schneider passed away in 2011. Meanwhile, in a Q&A filmed at La Cinémathèque française in Paris, Bertolucci confessed three years ago that he and Brando came up with the idea to use a stick of butter to rape Schneider on camera the morning of the shoot. Excerpts from this interview only just came to light this week. “The sequence of the butter is an idea that I had with Marlon in the morning before shooting,” the director explains in this interview. “We were having, with Marlon, breakfast on the floor of the flat where I was shooting. There was a baguette, there was butter and we looked at each other and, without saying anything, we knew what we wanted.” (In the horrifying scene, which earned Schneider critical appeal from those who presumed for years that she was acting, Brando uses the stick of butter as sexual lubricant.) One of the most respected filmmakers of his generation, Bertolucci went on to acknowledge that he “had been, in a way, horrible to Maria because I didn’t tell her what was going on.” So why did he go forward with this despicable idea? “[I] wanted her reaction as a girl, not as an actress,” the director said. “I wanted her to react humiliated.” Soon after Last Tango in Paris was released, movie critic Roger Ebert gushed over Schneider as an actress who “doesn’t seem to act her role so much as to exude it.” We now know why. How awful. As news of this declaration by Bertolucci went viral, stars in Hollywood reacted on social media with shock and horror. “To all the people that love this film, you’re watching a 19 year old get raped by a 48 year old man,” Jessica Chastain Tweeted. “The director planned her attack. I feel sick.” Michael Cudlitz, late of The Walking Dead , was more direct than anyone: “Special place in hell for these two scumbags and everyone on the crew that watched and did nothing. F-CK YOU.” Bertolucci and Schneider didn’t stay in contact once the film was released. “After the movie, we really didn’t see each other because she was hating me,” Bertolucci said. The director concluded that he felt a bit “guilty” about the whole thing, but not to the point where he regretted the decision. “To obtain something I think you have to be completely free,” Bertolucci said. “I didn’t want Maria to act her humiliation her rage, I wanted her to Maria to feel, not to act, the rage and humiliation. Then she hated me for all of her life.” For good reason. This is sickening. View Slideshow: 24 Actors Who Turned Down Iconic Roles

Kylie Jenner Poses in Thong Bikini, Is A National Treasure

Say what you will about Kylie Jenner, but one thing is for certain: she really, really cares about people. Think about it: why else would she give us all the gifts she’s given us? Why would she take all those cleavage-bearing photos , those lingerie photos , those straight-up nude  photos ?! It’s because she loves us and she doesn’t want us to hurt anymore. And our girl must have been worried about us, because did you see all these photos she shared on Instagram this weekend?! Kylie is on a little vacation in Miami right now, along with boyfriend Tyga and big sister Kendall Jenner. They’ve rented out this insane mansion, but who cares about real estate when Kylie is flouncing around in a thong and sharing the evidence? Answer: no one with a heart in their chest and/or a fascination with butts . But Kylie, social media genius that she is, knows that while we’d never turn down a good belfie, variety is good, too. So she was a dear and posed in a second black bikini: Are we worthy? Honestly, we’re not sure. Will we take it? Oh hell yes we will. Sure, Kylie is about as obnoxious as they come, and every time she opens her mouth we are catapulted into a special kind of hell that’s all lips and disappointment . We know that without a doubt. We know it just about as well as we know anything. But … come on. Look at her. What, are we supposed to just ignore this? As a little bonus, Kylie also took some time this weekend to share some close-ups of some other fashion choices of hers. And that’s why we have this little shot of this girl in fishnets with no underwear in sight: Thank you for this, Kylie, and for all that you do. We can never, every repay you.
