Kathryn Dennis Shocks Fans: I’m Banging My BFF!

Fans are thanking their lucky stars that Southern Charm wasn’t canceled after Thomas Ravenel’s sexual assault accusations, arrest, and lawsuit. But with the departure of the disgraced former star, what storylines can they look forward to seeing next season? Well, for one thing, Kathryn Dennis has announced that she’s dating Danni Baird. Southern Charm star Kathryn Dennis and long-time bestie Danni Baird have been enjoying the winter weather in the Colorado mountains. “Out of our element,” Kathryn admitted in a selfie of the two of them. “On various levels.” Charleston, South Carolina is part of a humid subtropical climate zone. The weather is very different in the Rocky Mountain winter. But it was some of Kathryn’s other posts that really caught the attention of fans. In another photo with Danni, Kathryn writes: “we’re in a serious relationship.” Oh?! Kathryn was not the only one raving about her significant other on social media. “My hot date dressed me,” Danni wrote in the captions of a photo of her own. In the pic, she and Kathryn are both wearing dresses and standing side-by-side. “We would literally be glowing in the dark if it weren’t for @glowboss.co,” Danni added, throwing in what appears to be an untagged product endorsement. Bravo was quick to jump on the story, with it’s Daily Dish blog excitedly talking about the pair’s relationship and years of friendship. So … are they dating for real? RadarOnline reports that Kathryn and Danni are very good friends — but are not romantically involved. “With Thomas getting fired and all the sex scandals hitting the show,” the insider begins to explain. The source continues: “The producers and the network are desperate to drum up publicity for Southern Charm .” “Everyone loves Kathryn,” the insider notes. “And so they’re trying to use anything she does in order to get people interested in the show.” “But she and Danni are friends and they support each other,” the source clarifies. “They’re not romantically involved or dating.” At this risk of foisting labels onto these women, this is more or less the equivalent of two straight girls “getting married” on Facebook because they’re besties. That doesn’t happen so much anymore, because of marriage equality and because Facebook is mostly where old people go to be angry these days. Kathryn and Danni are close friends — which we agree is a very serious relationship. And someone being your “hot date” isn’t necessarily romantic — there are plenty of platonic “date nights” in this world. Some might accuse Bravo of what’s known as queerbaiting in an effort to attract a larger LGBTQ+ audience with false promises. But we think that anyone honestly looking at these posts isn’t going to be misled for long. In real life, Danni ended her engagement to Todd Baldree in 2017. Kathryn, who is truly living her best life these days, boned costar Shep Rose a number of times, but they’re keeping that very casual. A lot of fans would be thrilled to see Kathryn and Danni together, since they would be so non-toxic and supportive. But there’s a difference between wishful thinking and reality. Let’s just let them be friends — albeit friends who make jokes about their bond, okay?

Obama Movies Yield Boom, Bust Over Opening Weekends

The market for films addressing Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential candidacy and his term to date in the Oval Office has proven volatile at best: Hagiographies like the all-access, Edward Norton-produced By the People co-exist alongside a cottage industry of microbudget anti-Obama slam pieces like Hype , The Obama Deception and this past weekend’s 2016: Obama’s America . And thanks in part to election-year grassroots mania (and an interview with the president’s Kenyan half-brother), the latter film may yet prove to be the most lucrative of the Obama subgenre to date. But this weekend’s other release, The Obama Effect ? Not so much. Released on one screen in Houston by Rocky Mountain Pictures (the scrappy purveyor of such right-leaning fare as Atlas Shrugged and the sleeper hits End of the Spear and Expelled: No Intelligence Required ), 2016 pulled in a handsome $31,750 over three days. The showing followed a free word-of-mouth screening last Thursday which featured author/interviewer Dinesh D’Souza (on whose book the film is based) and Oscar-winning co-producer Gerald Molen in attendance; “some moviegoers sat in the aisles Thursday and waited as much as 90 minutes to meet,” according to a THR dispatch . An expanded release is foreseen, perhaps comprising 400 screens total in the lead-up to next month’s Republican National Convention. Meanwhile, down the box-office line (like, way down the box-office line) you’ll find The Obama Effect . Written and directed by and starring Charles S. Dutton, the film focuses on a man circa 2008 who overlooks mounting health and family issues in his fervor to campaign on Obama’s behalf. In a radio interview last week , Dutton described the film as a satirical look at a man who loses perspective on his life (and the political animals who come to surround him), but a glimpse at the trailer and other limited background on the film don’t really combine for much of a message or even much of a story. Which (along with a lack of D’Souza-esque, Obama-thwacking source material) helps explain why the film, released by Arc Entertainment, stumbled this weekend to a meager $73,000 on 25 screens — a per-theater average of $2,920. Lessons? Many remain to be determined, especially as campaign season chugs ahead, though producers and agents alike may immediately be advised that apparently the president’s half-brother George can open a movie better than Andrew Garfield, at least per screen . And think what he could have done with Battleship ! Ahem. Just throwing it out there. [ THR , Box Office Mojo ]

Random Ridiculousness: Small Town In Wyoming With One Resident Sold To Vietnamese Man For $900,000

Small Town Sold For $900,000 Buford is a small place for sure, but so is the world. A remote, unincorporated area along busy Interstate 80 that advertised itself as the smallest town in the United States, Buford was sold at auction for $900,000 on Thursday to an unidentified man from Vietnam. It’s owner for the last 20 years, Don Sammons, served with the U.S. Army as a radio operator in 1968-69. After meeting the buyer, an emotional Sammons said it was hard for him to grasp the irony of the situation. “I think it’s funny how things come full circle,” he said. The buyer attended the auction in person but declined to meet with the media or to be identified. Sammons and others involved in the auction would not discuss the buyer’s plans for Buford. It will take about 30 days for all the paperwork to be completed before ownership of the place located almost equidistant between Cheyenne and Laramie in southeast Wyoming changes hands, Sammons said. The new owner will get a gas station and convenience store, a schoolhouse from 1905, a cabin, a garage, 10 acres, and a three-bedroom home at 8,000 feet altitude — overlooking the trucks and cars on the nearby interstate on one side and the distant snowcapped mountains in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado on the other. The town traces its origins to the 1860s and the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad. Buford had as many as 2,000 residents before the railroad was rerouted. Sammons, who moved to the Buford area about 30 years ago from Los Angeles to get away from the busy city life, bought the trading post on Jan. 31, 1992. He plans to retire from his unofficial title as “mayor” and write a book about his experiences in Buford, he said. Interesting… Source More On Bossip!

Kush Chronic-les: A Denver Newspaper Has Employs A Writer To Pen Pot Reviews

This guy has got to be the envy of college students across the world… Denver is at the peak of a citywide pot boom. It all started after the U.S. Attorney General’s office — in a shift of policy since the Bush administration — announced in 2009 that it would not prosecute marijuana users if their state permits use of the drug for medical reasons. “It just blew up from there,” William Breathes tells weekends on All Things Considered host Guy Raz. Colorado had permitted use of medical marijuana since 2000, but now it had a stamp of approval from the federal government. So Breathes — employed by Westword, Denver’s weekly alternative newspaper — became perhaps the first professional marijuana critic in the country. William Breathes is his pen name, of course. Like a food critic, he remains anonymous to the businesses he reviews. Says “William” about his writing: “We have more than 100,000 licensed medical marijuana cardholders in the state,” he says. That’s fueled the growth of dispensaries, which now outnumber Starbucks in Denver. More than 300 dispensaries are in business citywide. That’s a lot of options for readers of Westword, Breathes says. “When I’m reviewing marijuana, I’m looking for how clean it’s grown, how well it’s grown,” he says. But he’s also reviewing the dispensary itself. “How would an older patient feel going into this place?” he says. “How would someone new to cannabis feel in this place? If it makes me feel icky going into a place, then it would probably make my grandma feel icky. And there’s plenty of grandmas around the Denver community with medical marijuana cards going to these dispensaries.” Damn Denver, talk about Rocky Mountain “high”. Wonder does Mr. Breathes get the munchies, fall asleep, and miss his deadlines? Source
