Brandi Glanville on Kim Richards: She’s Sober!

According to Brandi Glanville, Kim Richards has used a recent tragedy to turn her life around. On January 24, Richards’ ex-husband, Monty Brinson, passed away after a long battle with cancer. Richards and Brinson shared both a child and a strong connection to each other, even if they had not been married since 1988. In a farewell message to Brinson the day after he died, Richards referred to her ex-husband as the “best friend” she ever had. Considering Kim’s well-documented battle with addiction, it would have been easy for her to fall even further off the wagon as a result of this sad development.  But Brandi Glanville offered a positive update on her friend during a recent appearance on Theo Von and Matthew Cole Weiss’ podcast Allegedly . “Kim is great. I just saw her,” Glanville said. “She is sober, day by day. She is doing really well.” Brandi admits that she “didn’t know what to expect” from Richards after Brinson’s passing… and also admits that she may not have helped the cause. Glanville drank alcohol at Brinson’s wake, saying that if one wants to “be sober” and “can’t handle being around someone who drinks, then don’t do it.” Ah, yes. There’s the nice and sensitive Brandi Glanville we’ve grown not to love.

Nelly Furtado BUTCHERS Canadian National Anthem

Nelly Furtado may want to make like a bird right about now. She may want to just get up and fly away. The Canadian-born singer had the honor on Sunday night of singing her country's national anthem prior to the NBA All-Star game, walking up to midcourt, taking a microphone… and totally butchering her rendition of “Oh, Canada.” Remember Lady Gaga's Star-Spangled Banner performance at Super Bowl 50 the weekend before? This was just like that. Except the total opposite in how it was received by the viewing public. The artist chose to perform a far more melodic version of the song than most are used to, accompanied by a single flute throughout… which probably hurt her new more than it helped in the end. Those in attendance in Toronto cheered, of course, but those behind their computers did not. “O'Canada is an awesome song. No need to change the notes,” wrote one Twitter user, while another shared a photo of Klay Thompson’s ear bleeding and wrote that the shooting guard had just listed to Furtado sing. A local sports reporter, Erin Hawksworth, meanwhile, sadly summed up the feelings of many listeners by writing: “As a Canadian, I am embarrassed by what Nelly Furtado just did. Who signed off on that?” Ouch.  Better luck next time, Nelly. Take a listen and a listen to this wayward attempt at honoring her country below:

Kris Humphries Taunts Knicks Fans, Gets Slammed by J.R. Smith

The Brooklyn Nets defeated the New York Knicks last night, with Kris Humphries coming off the bench for 11 points and a team-high 13 rebounds. But afterward, attention was less on points in the paint and more on Kim Kardashian. Naturally. After receiving taunts from the Madison Square Garden crowd all game, Humphries tried to get the final say after the contest, telling reporters: “They were harassing me when I was going in and out of the tunnel. But after, I asked them, ‘Why’s everyone so quiet?’” He then followed that statement up on Twitter with: “the Garden got really quiet on the way out!” Unfortunately for Humphries, New York shooting guard J.R. Smith was quick with a Tweeted retort: “Wasnt quiet when Kanye tore it down last month!” OHHHH, SLAM! The Nets may have won the game, but Smith conquered this online war. The Kim Kardashian divorce case continues to drag on, of course, with most blame falling on Humphries. He is seeking an annulment and somehow claims he was duped into a fake marriage. If that were the case, Kris would make Manti Te’o look prescient when it comes to relationships
