Nice Try! The Hosts Of ‘The Real’ Deny That They’re Backstage Beefing Over Salaries [Video]

Source: Tasia Wells / Getty Rumor control… “The Real” Hosts Deny Salary Dispute The hosts of “The Real” recently cleared up rumors that they’re secretly beefing behind the scenes. The DailyMail recently reported that the hosts of the Warner Bros’ show are at odds in particular because of Tamera Mowry-Housley’s high salary. According to the DM, Tamera is the highest paid much to the chagrin of her cohosts Adrienne and Jeannie who allegedly asked Loni, the second-highest-paid, to fight for them to get a raise. When that didn’t happen, the DM says they threatened to have a staged walkout. Not only that the DM added that Jeannie and Adrienne think Tamera isn’t “keeping it real” about her Republican views and have grown increasingly displeased. Mowry-Housley, 40, is reported to be raking in the most cash on the show with Loni being the second-best paid, while Adrienne and Jeannie are only being paid a third of the other women’s salaries. But Battle lines were drawn earlier this year when Mowry-Housley and Loni refused to help Adrienne and Jeannie get a raise, leading to threats of a staged walkout, a source close to the show told DailyMail.com. Further heightening tensions is the belief that Mowry-Housley ‘isn’t keeping it real’ with viewers because she refuses to acknowledge her Republican views and skirts around her support Donald Trump in the 2016 election on air. Source: Vivien Killilea/Getty Images for The Artists Project / Getty According to the hosts themselves, however, it’s all FAKE NEWS. The ladies addressed the rumors on their show this week and said that if there WERE a beef, they’d address it themselves. “What I love about our unit is we immediately got on the chain and left each other voicemails and video messages,” said Jeannie. “Like ‘You good?!’ “No, if it’s coming from me or one of these ladies it’ll be coming from us, we’ll tell you right here on this show!” added Loni.

Ronald Lopez via ZUMA Wire / Splash News The Young Politician Keeps It Real With Her Followers In A Twitter Message Democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is not about to bend down to your capitalist ways America! The congresswoman, who reps the Bronx and Queens district in New York, announced on Monday that she would be taking time off before she officially starts her term in the House of Representatives. Cortez was hot talk during the mid-term elections for her far left platform and for unseating long-time incumbent  Joe Crowley . Now, Alexandria say she tiiiied… And you’re not about to make her feel guilty about it! In a tweet she wrote, “For working people, immigrants, & the poor, self-care is political — not because we want it to be, but bc of the inevitable shaming of someone doing a face mask while financially stressed. So I’ve decided to take others  along with me on IG  as I learn what self-care even means and why it’s important.” So I’ve decided to take others along with me on IG as I learn what self-care even means and why it’s important. Feel free to comment here & share any resources or suggestions that have been helpful to you — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@Ocasio2018) December 17, 2018   According to New York Daily News , the 29-year-old politician is encouraging her followers to share their own ways of self-care. She followed up her post with a series of Instagram messages about how she had to give up her balanced lifestyle when she launched her campaign for Congress. “Before the campaign, I used to practice yoga 3-4x/week, eat nutritiously, read and write for leisure,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote. “As soon as everything kicked up, that all went out the window. I went from doing yoga and making wild rice and salmon dinners to eating fast food for dinner and falling asleep in my jeans and makeup.” Ocasio-Cortez made it clear that she doesn’t want to pretend to be something she’s not just to hold office. “I believe public servants do a disservice to our communities by pretending to be perfect,” she wrote. “A lot of campaigns are based on telling a ‘superhuman’ story and I respectfully disagree with that tactic…You don’t have to be perfect, but you do have to be 100% committed.” There you have it. Ocasio-Cortez keeping it real and funky with the people. She officially starts representing New York’s 14th congressional district on January 3.

Yara’s new show, “College-ish” will follow Zoey as she journeys to college and figures out life after leaving home. The show will focus on issues facing students and administration in today’s higher learning settings. The show will appear on FreeForm. Black-ish executive producer Kenya Barris tells Deadspin he couldn’t be happier about the new show: “I never thought they’d let me put Black-ish on the air, let alone give me a spin-off. I couldn’t be more excited for the opportunity to continue working with Yara and the rest of this talented young cast. To any aspiring writers struggling to make it out there, I highly advise adding an ‘-ish’ to any working title you might have. It seems to be the move.” Splash/WENN

Kris Jenner on Rob Kardashian: He Just Wants to Chill!

Last month Rob Kardashian was diagnosed with diabetes during an emergency hospital visit. It was the latest in a long line of setbacks for Rob, who has reportedly struggled with addiction, depression, and compulsive eating in recent years. Despite the urging of his family and friends, Rob has refused rehab and is instead attempting to take care of his issues on his own. Sounds like there’s ample cause for concern, but momager Kris Jenner is downplaying the crisis in a big way: “He’s had a year where he kind of wanted to chill,” Kris said in a recent interview with Maria Shriver. “He hasn’t been feeling well. We didn’t really know why. He was just diagnosed with diabetes so we’re taking care of that, but he’s always around.” Asked what keeps Rob busy these days, Kris peddled some BS before momentarily keeping it real: “He has his business. He has a sock line and his stuff, but I think that it was just the perfect time for him to take a little hiatus because he does that. “We were doing that. We just said, ‘Get well. Feel better.’ He was depressed and just wasn’t feeling good and didn’t know why.”  Rob’s “sock line” is basically running joke at this point, and his “company” doesn’t even have a functioning website. We understand that Rob’s issues are probably tough for Kris to talk about, which is why we wish she’d either say “no comment,” or – out of respect for the millions of other people suffering from emotional distress – at least refrain from lying about his condition as though it’s something to be ashamed of.  We wish Rob all the best, and we hope that if he does choose to return to public life, he’ll use his platform to be an advocate for other people who have struggled with similar problems.

Ariana Grande: Look at My Natural Hair!

Ariana Grande has said over and over and over that she was not keeping it real back when she said America sucked . Conversely, however, the singer is totally keeping it real in her latest Instagram post. Feating a collage of four separate selfies, the photo show off various angles of Grande’s voluminous hairdo. “Peekaboo healthy curls,” the artist wrote as a caption to the fun montage, adding: “long time no see.” Grande is nearly always seen in public with her hair in a ponytail, later joking in an Instagram video that she and her dog Ophelia now “match.” The pop singer has confessed in the past that she rocked the same hairstyle because her locks were left in such bad condition after starring on Nickelodeon shows Victorious and its spinoff, Sam & Cat. “I had to bleach my hair and dye it red every other week for the first 4 years of playing Cat… as one would assume, that completely destroyed my hair,” she said in early 2014. “My real hair is back to brown and I wear extensions, but I wear it in a ponytail because my actual hair is so broken that it looks absolutely ratchet and absurd when I let it down. “Trust me, it’s… difficult for me to have to wait forever for my natural hair to grow back and to have to wear more fake hair than every drag queen on earth combined.” We understand. At least Grande can take comfort in the following pictures, which all make her look very pretty:

Porsha Williams’ Real Hair: REVEALED!

Porsha Williams is keeping it as real as can be in her latest Instagram photo. Forget going make-up free. The reality star goes wig and weave-free in an image that gives most fans their very first look at her REAL hair. “#AllNatural for 2.5 seconds,” Williams wrote as a caption to the following snapshot. “@Gonakedhair installed in 3…2…1 #standby stylist: @Kellonderyck Stylist Kellon Deryck shared the same picture and added:” @porsha4real got hella hair but it’s time to put that #flawlessillusion back in.” Why did Porsha decide to open up in this manner to fans? It’s unclear, but perhaps she wants to distract folks from her recent arrest for speeding and driving on a suspended license. Or the fact that she was recently dumped by her sugar daddy .
