Bethenny Frankel Thanks Fans for Separation Support

Bethenny Frankel may now be single, but she is far from alone. Following her separation from Jason Hoppy , which the reality star announced yesterday, the former Real Housewife has taken to Twitter to thank her 1.1 million fans for their support. “You give me so much love, and I am so grateful,” Frankel wrote last night in response to an outpouring from followers. “It feels like your words could get someone through anything.” Bethenny and Jason were married for two-plus years, after meeting in 2008 and having their relationship chronicled on Bravo’s Bethenny Getting Married .

Spike Lee Slams Quentin Tarantino, Django Unchained as "Disrespectful"

Do not count Spike Lee as one of the millions of movie goers who will be seeing Django Unchained this holiday season. Or any season, for that matter. The famous director went off on the film – which stars Jamie Foxx as a freed slave who teams up with a bounty hunter to rescue his wife from an evil plantation owner – and Quentin Tarantino in a recent interview with Vibe. Django Unchained Trailer “I’m not gonna see it,” Lee told the magazine. “All I’m going to say is that it’s disrespectful to my ancestors.” Lee then expounded via Twitter: “American Slavery Was Not A Sergio Leone Spaghetti Western.It Was A Holocaust.My Ancestors Are Slaves.Stolen From Africa.I Will Honor Them.” The action movie has made a few headlines for its excessive use of the N-word, something Lee also took Tarantino to task for in 1997 after the release of Jackie Brown . Said Lee at the time: “Let the record state that I never said that he cannot use that word – I’ve used that word in many of my films – but I think something is wrong with him.”

Jerry Seinfeld: Lady Gaga is a Jerk and I Hate Her

“This woman is a jerk. I hate her.” – Jerry Seinfeld on Lady Gaga While the comedian was (partially) joking in an interview with New York’s WFAN radio, he’s definitely not gaga over the singer’s recent baseball game antics. “I can’t believe that they put her in my box, which I paid for,” Seinfeld said, referring to Lady Gaga’s bizarre, profanity-laced meltdown June 10 at Citi Field. Gaga showed up during the fifth inning of the day game between the Mets and Padres and was furious that her front-row seats were close to photographers. Instead of sitting, she vanished into a lower-deck concourse, only to reappear in a little bit later in the empty luxury box owned by Seinfeld, a big Mets fan. “You give people the finger and you get upgraded? Is that the world we’re living in now?” he said . “How old is the finger? How’d it even get to be the finger?” Oh, and what is the DEAL with wearing a bra as a top? “She is talented,” said Seinfeld. “I don’t know why she’s doing this stuff. I don’t know what these young people think or how they promote their careers.” He then expounded on her antics: “I’m not one of these all-publicity-is-good people. People talk about you need exposure – you could die of exposure.” Well, there’s one person who won’t be buying Gaga’s new album . When the WFAN host pointed out to Seinfeld that Gaga was at the rival Yankees’ game on Friday, Seinfeld said, “Oh please, wake me when it’s over.” “So you’ve had enough of her?” Steve Somers asked Jerry. “Yeah,” Seinfeld said. “I wish her the best,” but then added in one final dig at Lady Gaga, “you take one ‘A’ off of that and you’ve got gag.” Not one of the best Seinfeld quotes ever … but good.
