Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton: TV Spin-Off In The Works?

Fans were able to watch Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton fall in love on The Voice, and the show’s ratings proved that the couple could stand on their own. “There are a bunch of ideas in the works to give the two of them a variety-type show ,” an NBC source told OK! Magazine. “There’s no doubt about their chemistry, and they’re also very in sync when it comes to finding talent.” Stefani and Shelton, who confirmed their romance last November, “really love being on TV together.” And though nothing is definite, “this won’t be the last we see of Gwen and Blake on the small screen.” Earlier this month, OK! claimed that executives wanted Shelton to propose to Stefani on The Voice . Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani Duet at the Billboard Music Awards “’Executives are really pushing for an on-air engagement” a source said at the time. “They told them both last season that there would be a huge bonus for them if they agreed to get engaged on the show and, of course, the offer still stands.” Stefani herself has even called out the network for playing up her relationship with the country singer. “We were laughing our heads off when we saw the blind auditions. I love NBC, but they for sure edited stuff to look like we were flirting ,” Stefani told Cosmopolitan . “They chose to run with that story before anything was even real. I hardly knew him. But it was like it was in the air — happening before it happened.” Both parties had just endured painful splits from their spouses. “We were both having trust issues, as you would if you were us,” she explained. “It was like, ‘I have so many problems. How can I now be getting into another potentially huge problem? What am I doing?'” Stefani will not be part of the upcoming season of  The Voice , which premieres September 19th, but don’t be surprised to see her make a guest appearance.

Kourtney Kardashian Questions Blac Chyna: Might She Really Suck?!?

Those who watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online are well aware that Kourtney is the least dramatic of all these famous siblings. She's also the least confrontational. Sure, we've seen Kourtney go at it with Scott Disick on a few occasions, but she mostly stays far away from scandal and controversy. This Sunday, however, she won't be able to help herself. In the following clip, we see Kourtney in the makeup chair, talking to her stylist about the latest issue her family has with Blac Chyna. This was filmed several weeks ago, remember, so the issue at hand is the Blac Chyna emoji that showed her slapping the crap out of Kylie Jenner . It just went viral at the time the scene below was filmed… … and Kourtney is NOT happy about it. “It set me over the edge,” Kourtney says here of the emoji. She goes on to say she was “going to call Chyna” and yell at it, but: “I don't want to yell at a pregnant person.” So what did she do instead? She called and yelled at her brother. “This is the first time that made me question Chyna's intentions,” Kourt says in a confessional interview. “I usually don't let any of this stuff bother me. For some reason this just set me off.” After confronting Rob Kardashian, Kourtney explains that her sibling didn't like her reaction very much. “He said, 'I'm going to tell everyone how I have the worst, most disgusting family,'” she says over the phone to younger sister Khloe Kardashian. And how does Khloe react? What's her plan to get back at Chyna? Watch this sneak peek to find out!

Ryan Lochte: Teammates CONFIRM Robbery Story Was a Lie!

US swimmer Ryan Lochte may have just found himself in some hot water. In what’s certainly the strangest story to emerge from the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, Lochte claimed he and three of his teammates were robbed at gunpoint by thieves who initially posed as police officers. Yesterday, several media outlets reported that Lochte may be lying about the incident in an effort to cover up violent and destructive behavior by himself and his teammates.  The reports surfaced in response to Brazilian authorities’ efforts to prevent Lochte and the other three swimmers – Jimmy Feigen, Jack Conger and Gunnar Bentz – from returning to the States while the investigation into the matter was ongoing. Believing they had sufficient reason to suspect that Lochte and company had lied about the robbery, police arrived at Rio’s Olympic Village with the intention of seizing the swimmers’ passports. Lochte, however, had already returned to the States. Now, his three teammates – two of him were removed from their flight home moments before the plane was scheduled to take off – are being detained by Brazilian officials. And it looks as though they’ve offered testimony that could spell big trouble for all four athletes. The Associated Press is reporting that Conger and Bentz have confirmed that the story Lochte told reporters on Sunday was fabricated. The swimmer reportedly made up the robbery lie in order to cover up a fight with a gas station security guard  that took place after the guard attempted to prevent the men from urinating on a building and destroying property. Needless to say, the story doesn’t do much for the reputation of the US men’s swim team. As for what sort of legal consequences it may carry for Lochte and company, that remains to be seen. We’ll have further updates on this increasingly bizarre story as more information becomes available. View Slideshow: 19 Scandalous Sports Stories

Omran Daqneesh: Photo of Aleppo Boy Stuns World

It seems not a day goes by that we don't hear stories of escalating casualty counts in some overseas conflict. Often they take place in cities that most Americans couldn't locate on a world map. Just as frequently, these stories come toward the end of a nightly news broadcast, buried by more trending topics such as the Rio Olympics or a presidential candidate's latest gaffe. We're not saying that a caring, compassionate person can't also take an interest in the less consequential or more entertaining news items of the day. But we are saying that when a powerful image that makes the distantly political intensely personal, it's important to take notice. Omran Daqneesh is a five-year-old boy living in war-torn Syria. A photo of his stunned, bloodied face following an air strike in his native Aleppo has gone viral today. Like Alan Kurdi, the toddler who drowned in the Mediterranean Sea while fleeing Syria with his family last year, Omran has become a potent reminder of the immense human toll of modern warfare. For some, the photo is a vivid illustration of the urgency of resolving the Syrian refugee crisis in a fashion that will save as many civilian lives as possible. For others, it's simply confirmation that unimaginable horrors befall the world's most innocent humans on a daily basis. Regardless of one's personal politics, it's impossible to not be affected by the photo of Omran. The images and video of Omran show him moments after he was pulled from the rubble of a building that was decimated in an attack orchestrated by either Russia or the government of Syria. It's unclear if the boy has any surviving family members. Many of the images of Omran were shared with the international media via the Syrian American Medical Society.

Lane Graves Alligator Attack: More Details Emerge On Toddler’s Fatal Injuries

The drowning of 2-year-old Lane Graves by an alligator at Walt Disney World’s Grand Floridian Resort still haunts members of the public two months later. On the evening of June 14th, Graves was wading in the shallow waters of Seven Seas Lagoon, Disney’s man-made lake when an alligator snatched and dragged him underwater . The little boy’s body was found by divers six feet under water the next day,  just 10-15 feet away from where he was attacked.  Radar Online obtained a copy of the full autopsy , which rules the death as an “accident” and notes that Graves sustained fatal injuries to his “neck, scalp and skull.” Graves, whose family was enjoying a movie night on the beach, was “dressed in a pair of blue shorts” with a disposable diaper underneath, “worn with a short-sleeved T-shirt emblemized with the American flag.” The most severe injuries, according to the report, were around Graves’ head. “The right side of the scalp,” the coroner noted, revealed “a vertically-oriented laceration measuring 2.3 x 0.3 cm.” with “a maximal depth of 0.4 cm. “The skin on the left side of the hair-bearing scalp in the parietal region has two recent puncture wounds.” Graves’ skull was fractured, and the coroner found “abrasions on his eyelid, eyebrow and jaw.”  He concluded that Graves “died as the result of cranio-cervical trauma and drowning.” The alligator was eventually caught and killed by authorities.  Even though there is no swimming permitted in the lagoon, signs did not warn resort guests that alligators, snakes and other dangerous animals inhabited the waters.  Prior to the accident, lounge chairs would be set up on the beach for people to sunbathe, and the resort also hosted movie nights, like the one the Nebraska-based Graves took part in before their son was killed. Graves’ father, Matt tried to wrestle the boy out of the jaws of the alligator, but it was too late. We continue to keep the Graves family in our thoughts.

Taylor Swift Donates $1 Million to Louisiana Flooding Victims

She may have just endured a rough few weeks from a PR standpoint, but today, Taylor Swift reminded us yet again that when it comes to using her fame and fortune to affect positive change in the world, she truly has no rival. With all the daily drama coming out of Rio and the mouth of a certain cotton candy-haired real estate mogul, the current situation in Louisiana hasn’t been receiving its rightful place at the top of every news broadcast, but it’s almost unimaginably horrific. At least 11 have been killed and thousands have lost their homes in flooding of historic proportions. Yesterday, Swift cut a check for $1 million to the state’s disaster relief fund. Today, the singer issued the following statement to fans via social media: “We began The 1989 World Tour in Louisiana, and the wonderful fans there made us feel completely at home. The fact that so many people in Louisiana have been forced out of their own homes this week is heartbreaking. “I encourage those who can to help out and send your love and prayers their way during this devastating time.” View Slideshow: 13 Reasons We Adore Taylor Swift Fans of Swift’s know that the mega-wealthy star (with an estimated worth of $250 million) has a long history of helping those in need. Last year, Taylor donated $50,000 to New York City public schools . Shortly thereafter, she gave another $50,000 to a cancer stricken fan . Perhaps even more meaningful than her financial contributions, however, are the ways in which the hard-working singer takes time for her fans who are going through difficult times. Taylor has visited children’s hospitals to hang out and sing for terminally ill kids on multiple occasions, and her open letters to fans who have suffered losses or been victims of bullying have discovered millions. So even if you’re staunchly Team Katy or Calvin, you can take a moment to set aside petty celebrity feuds and acknowledge that regardless of her bad blood with other famous folks, Taylor has unquestionably used her position to do some good in the world.

Andi Dorfman: Releasing Second Tell-All!

Andi Dorfman is not done keeping you up to date with what’s going on in her life.  The former Bachelorette already shocked readers this year with her first book.  She held nothing back when she dissed the likes of Josh Murray, Nick Viall and Juan Pablo Galavis.  A key plot covered in the book was the breakdown of her relationship with Murray.  He won her heart on The Bachelorette, but like most couples from The Bachelor franchise, they just couldn’t make it work.  In the book, Dorfman states that she came clean to Murray about getting intimate with Nick Viall.  It’s no wonder both Murray and Viall hated each other, if Dorfman was sleeping with both of them.  It is a tell-all, so she kind of has to include all the details. Right?! Her first effort was met with a less than stellar reception from from Josh Murray, who took issue with Dorfman painting him in a bad light.  He released a statement to Us: “It saddens me and is very unfortunate that Andi has chosen to characterize me in such a negative way. I pray she finds peace.” That was a classy statement, but he didn’t particularly hold back on a r ecent episode of Bachelor in Paradise , which may have restarted the feud between he and his former fiancè. View Slideshow: 12 Most Epic Meltdowns in Bachelor History Now, it appears Dorfman is not fazed by controversy surrounding the book and is pressing forward with a second .  “Book No. 2 is definitely a sequel,” the 29-year-old revealed. “You thought dating 25 guys on reality TV was dramatic, dating in New York is insane!” the brunette beauty admits. It sure sounds like New York is going to be a fun change of setting for this next chapter, but will she be able to refrain from dissing The Bachelorette stars?

Tyler Baltierra: Fat-Shaming Catelynn Lowell in New Teen Mom Preview?

Back in March, Teen Mom: OG cast member  Catelynn Lowell checked into rehab to be treated for depression and anxiety. In a recent interview, Lowell stated she's “not cured” but is doing better emotionally following extensive in-patient treatment. Catelynn's relationship with husband Tyler Baltierra is generally considered to be one of the most stable in the Teen Mom franchise. As is to be expected, Baltierra publicly and privately supported and visited his wife during her stay in an Arizona facility. So it came as a shock to many TM fans when a clip for the show's upcoming season showed Baltierra giving Lowell a hard time. Specifically, about what she's eating for dinner. The clip shows the 24-year-old Lowell revealing to Baltierra, also 24, that she's thinking about joining Weight Watchers again. Tyler is encouraging at first, but the conversation quickly turns casually ugly, as he ridicules her for the size of the meal she's eating. “That’s a big ass quesadilla, it has a lot of chicken,” Tyler says. “It’s your body, you could do what you want.” “Obviously I don’t want no heifer for a wife!” Yes, he actually said that. Kind of unreal. The conversation gets so nasty so fast that one of the show's producers – if you watch Teen Mom: OG online , you know that unlike Teen Mom 2 , OG often stylistically puts the MTV staff members on camera in a strange interplay with the cast – intervenes on Catelynn's behalf. “You come off so harsh sometimes,” the producer says. Baltierra, apparently oblivious to the seriousness of the situation, “I’m being honest! Would you want to be married to some big heifer?” NOTE: Tyler, take the lifeline next time it's offered. Baltierra and Lowell married in August of 2015, and have been the subject of many a #RelationshipGoals hashtag in the year since. They both survived difficult childhoods and unusual circumstances – they met because they are step-siblings, as fans know. Especially following the trauma of giving their first child for adoption, they've served as pillars of strength and support for one another. So hopefully this was anomalous behavior for Baltierra and not something he'll be making a habit of now that the honeymoon phase is over. Teen Mom: OG returns August 22. Here's the clip:

Hailey Baldwin Hurls Shade at Justin Bieber: What Did She Say?

Perhaps Justin Bieber should have seen this coming. Perhaps he should have known that bragging about his new girlfriend would royally piss off two of his ex -girlfriends. Over the weekend, Bieber went very public with Sofia Richie. He and the 17-year old shared a number of photos together from their trip to Tokyo, where Bieber is currently on tour and where Richie is clearly enjoying the company of the artist. Look. Here’s an example of one: Based on how intimate Bieber and Richie seemed, along with the heart emojis used in some captions, it’s pretty clear the two are dating. And this was made even more clear after Bieber took issue with fans giving Richie a hard time . In response to their online vitriol, Justin wrote the following message yesterday on Instagram: “I’m gonna make my Instagram private if you guys don’t stop the hate this is getting out of hand. “If you guys are really fans you wouldn’t be so mean to people that I like.” It seemed like a fair point at the time, like Bieber was trying to just stand up for his gal pal. But Selena Gomez didn’t see it that way. In a comment she left on Bieber’s Instagram page, Selena basically told her famous ex to keep his private life private… or else shut up about the consequences. “If you can’t handle the hate then stop posting pictures of your girlfriend lol – it should be special between you two only,” Selena allegedly wrote, adding: “Don’t be mad at your fans. They love you.” We say she  allegedly wrote this because it was not a message straight from Selena’s official account. It’s possible that someone used Photoshop to make it look as if Gomez was taking Bieber to task. But then another screen-capture of Bieber’s account revealed a response from the singer, who appeared to fire back at Gomez by writing: “It’s funny to see people that used me for attention and still try to point the finger this way. Sad. All love.” After Gomez responded to this comment by writing that Bieber cheated on her “multiple times,” Bieber strongly implied that Gomez cheated on him … with Zayn Malik ! This has all become a giant mess, made all the more confusing because it’s all based on Instagram comments. No one is 100% certain that either Selena or Justin wrote any of these messages. But Hailey Baldwin has decided to chime in anyway. The model ( who dated Biebs earlier this year , although she downplayed the relationship at the time) took to her own Instagram account on Sunday night to warn people not to “misplace blame.” Was this message written in support of Selena? “We’ve all had our fair share of things we’ve done, both good and bad. What makes the present so powerful is when we take complete responsibility for our actions, we allow ourselves self-growth,” the cryptic message reads. “Misplacing the blame onto someone else isn’t going to get you to the next stage in life. so try not to manipulate a situation to make yourself look better.” Baldwin concludes: “No matter how much better off someone may seem, we are all humanly flawed in our own ways, but also share the same endless potential to be better than we used to be.” According to People Magazine, Baldwin’s friends believe Richie made Bieber unfollow her on Instagram. As a result, Baldwin is “super upset,” an insider tells the publication. View Slideshow: Sofia Richie: Meet Justin Bieber’s Underage New Squeeze Does this mean she was aiming the quote above at Bieber? Probably. We really have no idea at this point. We admire Justin for standing up for Richie, but in the end, there’s a message here for everyone in the social media age: Not everything has to be shared online. We’re just saying.

Shannen Doherty: Read Her Emotional Message To Mom Rosa

Like a lot of fans, I’m rooting for Shannen Doherty to win her battle against breast cancer.  One more who is rooting more than anyone, though, is her mom, Rosa. “Sometimes there’s nothing like a mothers love to help get you thru,” Doherty captioned a black-and-white photo of herself in her mother’s arms. “Thank you mom for always being there and being so strong for me. I love you.” Doherty has been open with her battle in the hopes that it will offer comfort, inspiration and hope to others going through similar struggles .  More than anything, it allows her fans to be with her every step of the way. “Chemo day. A day many of us dread,” Doherty shared in another Instagram. “Strength gets us thru but every once in awhile, you just want to hide in bed and let chemo day pass you by.” Earlier this month, Doherty confirmed that the cancer had spread to her lymph nodes.   The 90210 star was diagnosed in March 2015 after her former management company did not pay her health insurance premiums, resulting in a delayed diagnosis. Last week, Doherty told  Entertainment Tonight how she broke the news to her husband of five years, Kurt Iswarienko. Shannen Doherty Talks Cancer Treatment “I told him, ‘You need to enjoy every single second you have with me because I’m going to be dead in five years,’ and he just burst out in tears,” The Tennessee native recalled. Doherty was in the car when she decided to tell her husband over the phone, because she couldn’t wait until she got hom. “I called him, which was horrible of me,” she said. “I was in the car. I was with my mom, and the doctor called me and I’m, you know, ‘I’m going to wait until I see him,’ and I just couldn’t. So I picked up the phone and I called him and he was like, ‘Where are you?’” Once Doherty pulled into her driveway, Iswarienko wrapped his wife in his arms and told her that they were going to get through it together. “‘We are going to get through this, you’re strong and you’re powerful and you’re not going anywhere,” Doherty remembered the photographer saying. “‘You have so much to do in your life. We are going to get through it as a family.'” Doherty has no doubt that the diagnosis has strengthened their bond. “My marriage was always strong, but it’s made my marriage a thousand times stronger,” Doherty said. “I could not have gotten through this without my husband.”
