While Kris Jenner is in meltdown mode, supposedly over the fallout from Bruce’s sex change, his six children are said to be fully in his corner. As difficult and complicated as this situation must be for them, we can’t see how they wouldn’t have his back 100 percent. After all, he’s there dad. Moreover, when a human being feels so lost, so insecure, so uncomfortable in their own’s skin that such a move is necessary for their happiness? The inner turmoil must have been really, really bad prior to that. It’s hard not to feel bad for Bruce, feeling trapped in such a state for so long. We only get one life, after all, and so many trips ’round the sun. Bruce has chosen to live the years he has left not as the person we expect him to be or once we they knew, but as the man (woman?) he is. He is to be commended for this, honestly, because the fallout will invariably become a public relations firestorm fueled by unanswered questions: Will he have surgery and/or hormone treatments? Is he addicted to plastic surgery? If he becomes a woman, will he still be attracted to women ? Only Bruce can properly address these complex, layered topics – if he even knows the answers – and he will reportedly do so in the near future. Until then, scroll through images of the “new” Bruce (above) and from his earlier years to witness the transition thus far, and share your comments: 17 Bruce Jenner Pics: Through the Years 1.

Charlie Sheen Sued for Sexual Assault by Dental Technician

This much we know: something weird went down when Charlie Sheen visited the dentist this week. A couple days ago, the actor was accused of pulling out a knife after he flipped out once a gas mask was placed over his face. According to the dental technician on scene, Sheen was high on rock cocaine at the time. Jeff Ballard, the star’s Public Relations guru, admits that his client suffered a bad reaction to some prescription medicine and did flail his arms, knocking some stuff over in the process. HOWEVER… Charlie Sheen FLIPS OUT at Dentist “The [knife] story is being made up by this woman who was fired on Friday for violating HIPAA by telling her son Charlie was in the office,” adds Sheen’s lawyer, Marty Singer. “It got back to Charlie and the dentist fired her.” Authorities appear to agree, saying to weapon of any kind was mentioned in the original incident report. Now, though, that same dental technician (Margarita Palestino) alleges in a lawsuit, that Sheen came to her office last week for a procedure that required nitrous.   As she put the mask on him, she claims he tore it off, jumped out of the chair and yelled, “I’m going to f-cking kill you!” Palestino also says Sheen grabbed her left breast and pulled her scrubs, then grabbed her bra strap and tried pulling it down. She’s accusing him of sexual assault. The technician is also sticking to the assertion that Sheen went after his dentist with a knife and says a member of his entourage offered her $500 for her trouble. Says Singer in response: “This is a ridiculous claim by an opportunist looking to make her 15 minutes of fame and my client is confident he will prevail in this absurd lawsuit.” 15 Bizarre Charlie Sheen Facts 1. He Once Thought He Watched a Snuff Film In 1991, Charlie and some friends contacted the FBI about what they believed to be a footage of actual murders. Turns out it was just a Japanese horror film.

Race Matters: P.R. Exec Tweets She Hopes She Does Not Get AIDS On Flight To Africa

Ignorance is a disease . P.R. Exec Tweets Racist Joke According to NY Daily News: It’s sounding more like OK Stupid. The communications director for media conglomerate IAC which represents brands like OKCupid is in boiling water after publicly tweeting a racist joke that’s getting few if any laughs. Sacco, whose represented brands also include Vimeo and CollegeHumor, was not immediately available for comment. But her boss was. “This is an outrageous, offensive comment that does not reflect the views and values of IAC,” the company, operated by billionaire media executive Barry Diller, said in a statement to The News. “Unfortunately, the employee in question is unreachable on an international flight, but this is a very serious matter and we are taking appropriate action.” What that appropriate action may be for the public relations head, who describes herself as a “troublemaker on the side” on her Twitter account, may not be known until she lands. Meanwhile public outrage over her dubbed “worst tweet of year” was seen piling high with one vengeful twitter user publishing her cell phone number online. “She gon get that message I left,” Twitter user 070180 wrote after snagging the digits. When asked by another user what that message was, he replied: “That from this day forward she will never feel comfortable around us. Because of her actions. Not ours.” Nothing says “we think her comment is outrageous” like firing her azz.

Kris Humphries Feels Bad for Lamar Odom, Still Hates the Kardashians

As he battles an alleged cocaine addiction , Lamar Odom has a surprising fan in his corner: Kris Humphries. The estranged ex-husband of Kim Kardashian is reportedly away of Odom’s plight and “feels bad for the guy,” an anonymous insider tells Radar Online, adding that Kris somehow thinks “the Kardashian public relations spin machine will have a negative effect [on] Lamar’s NBA career.” Wait… what? Won’t the drugs have a negative effect on Lamar’s NBA career? Humphries allegedly says he was the “victim of countless attacks” by a certain tabloid while married to Kardashian… and this same tabloid is the one that reported Odom as missing when the player’s agent says Khloe was always aware of Lamar’s whereabouts. The implication, we guess, is that the Kardashians are planting rumors about Odom to make him look bad. Although it’s unclear why this would possibly be the case. “There should be a support group for the former husbands and boyfriends of the Kardashians ,” the Radar insider concludes. We agree! Once Kris counts his millions and films the cameo on The Mindy Project that never would have come about if not for his marriage to Kim, we’ll totally break out our violins for the guy.

Melissa King Video: How Much Did She Get Paid?

The would-be Miss Delaware Teen USA must have been really hard up for cash, or really bored, because the infamous Melissa King video only paid her $1,500. Melissa King initially denied she’s the one in the XXX video that made the rounds last week, though she later sort of admitted it in a series of re-Tweets. The guys behind the adult site, GirlsDoPorn (dot) com, also posted a release form on their website, in which Melissa identifies herself by name. So it’s totally her. Not that this wasn’t essentially clear already. The truly amazing things about this – beyond the basic, obvious fact that the gorgeous Miss Delaware Teen USA starred in a PORN movie – are that: She said her motive was money , yet she only earned a modest $1,500 Melissa reached out to the site about doing a sex video, not vice versa She wanted to do more , but GDP passed, calling her debut “frigid” Yes … the porn site declined to ask her back for round two. Melissa King Video Melissa King may have been interested in the idea at first, but apparently when it came down to the actual sex, she wasn’t feeling it. So no sequel. The irony? If she wanted to do more porn right now, sites would bend over backwards to have her, but they probably couldn’t afford her anymore. YouPorn offered her $250,000 to be the face of their site – and she doesn’t even have to have sex for that gig! Talk about a shift in market valuation. She resigned as Miss Teen Delaware after the scandal broke, but if Kim Kardashian is any indication, this isn’t a career-ender. Could be the contrary! Meanwhile, GirlsDoPorn says traffic has been so high since the news broke about Melissa King that they had to invest in additional server power.

Jay Leno Retirement: Imminent?

A new rumor suggests that Jay Leno will retire from The Tonight Show next spring. For real this time. Seriously. No backsies for a change. A pair of high level NBC executives say the network is concerned that Jimmy Kimmel’s move to 11:35 p.m. on ABC is sucking up all the younger late-night viewers – and that Jimmy Fallon should therefore be installed as Tonight Show host before it’s too late. “Kimmel has done extremely well,” a network veteran tells The Hollywood Reporter . ” Jay wins overall , but on any given night, it’s neck-and-neck in 18-49. I understand where they might have fear and also feel that they own the solution [in Fallon.]” According to the report, Leno would announce in May that he is stepping down from the coveted spot when his contract is up at the end of the 2013-2014 television season. Fallon would then premiere with a “soft launch” during the summer of 2014 before a formal fall debut. Asked about the possibility, a rep for Leno simply said: “We do not speculate on rumor.”

Sinkhole Swallows Florida House; Man Missing

A 37-year-old Florida man is missing after being swallowed by a sinkhole that appeared under his bedroom around 11 p.m. Thursday, an official said. Jeffrey Bush has not been heard from since the hole appeared in his bedroom in Seffner, Fla., near Tampa. Bush is feared to have been killed. Sinkhole in Florida Authorities have said the sinkhole, believed to be up to 30 feet deep, was “seriously unstable.” A 100-foot safety zone was set up around it Friday. Nearby homes were evacuated for fear of a sudden collapse. Jessica Damico, public relations officer for Hillsborough County Fire Department, said Saturday that experts resumed working at the site at 7 a.m. ET. “Right now they are still looking at soil samples and drilling and looking for stability, so they can find the edge of the sinkhole ,” she said from the scene. She said the sinkhole seemed to be about 15 feet deep, or perhaps even more. However she added the actual depth of unstable ground was unclear. Damico said there was still no sign of Jeffrey Bush. “If you look in, it’s about 15 feet and then there’s only sand,” she said, noting that engineers are only using camera equipment to examine the hole. The area is still too unstable for people to go onto. Bill Bracken, the owner of an engineering company called to assess the hole, said he “cannot tell you why it [the house] has not collapsed yet.” He said the earth below is a “very large, very fluid mass.” “This is not your typical sinkhole,” Hillsborough County administrator Mike Merrill added. “This is a chasm. For that reason, we’re being very deliberate.” While some in the neighborhood did not the risks, sinkholes are common in Florida; home insurers are required by law to provide coverage for them. Florida’s geological makeup increases the likelihood of sinkholes, and more than 500 have been reported in Hillsborough County since 1954. A monster 400-foot sinkhole sucked in a house, five sports cars, two businesses, and part of a swimming pool, appearing near Orlando back in 1981. “Envision a piece of Swiss cheese,” Taylor Yarkosky, a sinkhole expert from Brooksville, Fla., told the AP. “Any house in Florida could be in that situation.”

Quote Of The Day: Denzel Washington Says He’s No Schmoozing Buttkisser And He’s “Never Befriended Any White Actors”

My man!!! Denzel Washington keeps it all the way trill when discussing who his friends are, and they ain’t of the White Hollyweird assortment… According to Yahoo! Movies: Some actors make a point of hob-nobbing with famous and high-profile folks in the industry and getting their picture in the tabloids as often as possible. Then there’s Denzel Washington. In an interview with Xan Brooks published on The Guardian.co.uk, Washington announced, “Actually, even within the industry, I don’t have any actor friends. My friends are old friends. One’s an ex-music guy, the other’s a restaurant owner and the other’s an ex-pro ballplayer.” When asked why he didn’t have many friends among his colleagues, Washington snapped, “Because I don’t make friends! Maybe I’m not a butt-kisser, maybe I’m not a schmoozer. I’m not about to go to a party to try to get a job. And then when you have children, the other friends become other parents. We’d coach baseball or basketball. My wife and I were raised right. I don’t want movie-star friends. And being African American, there were no big movie stars to hang out with anyway, not when I was starting out, they were just the third guy from the back! For whatever reason, I never befriended any white actors.” (One of Washington’s public relations representatives later offer a clarification on the Guardian story, “I sat in on this interview,” the rep said. “The part they failed to mention was after he said ‘never befriended any white actors’ he mentioned ‘except,’ and then listed Tom Hanks, Mel Gibson, Julia Roberts, etc. They cut the rest of the thought out. The rest is fine though.”) As the interview went on, Washington’s seem to clarify that his attitude had less to do with his opinions of his fellow thespians and more with the current culture of celebrity in America. “I’m a working actor!” he declared. “What’s a celebrity anyway? Paris Hilton’s a celebrity. I’m just a working actor.” While Washington didn’t go into deep detail about his private life in the interview, the well-grounded and publicity-shy actor alluded to his religious scruples and the role they play in his life and his work. When asked about his character’s plea for help from God in “Flight,” Washington replied, “That line, ‘God help me,’ was very important to me. As an arc as much as anything. You see this butt-naked, coke-sniffing, weed-smoking guy finally get to the point where he can say: ‘God help me.’ He gets his life back.” Love it, way to keep it all the way 100, Denzel!!!! WENN
