The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 8 Trailer: Released!

The first trailer for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 8 is here, courtesy of Bravo, and man alive, it features plenty of drama. Would you expect anything less? Lisa Vanderpump, Kyle Richards, Lisa Rinna, Erika Girardi and Dorit Kemsley are all back again, with some new faces joining the fun: Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave, the daughter of rock god John Mellencamp and his second wife Victoria Granucci, is joining as a new Housewife. Meanwhile former cast member Camille Grammer, the former wife of Kelsey Grammer, is returning as well, as a “friend” of the housewives. Backstabbing is not the primary focal point of this new teaser, though it does have its moments, such as Dorit calling Teddi a “psycho.” Erika, for her part, sure looks like she's coming at the new queen as well, threatening, “don't f-ck with me like that, you won't want that.” Ohhhhhhhhhh. Put on notice. Lisa, Kyle and Dorit are in a feud, meanwhile, that Erika describes thusly: “This boils down to three bitches that are competitive over friendship.” Bravo's official synopsis promises that this season, “the ladies are busier than ever, juggling life at home and in the boardroom.” Hustle and heart, so to speak. Kyle must decide whether to renovate or move out of the home where she’s raised her four kids, which truly must keep her up at night. The choices we face. Brutal. Dorit is trying to re-launch her swimwear line, which proves daunting given the time frame of just a couple of months that she's working with. Erika Jayne’s rise to the top has fueled her professional drive, with more music and a memoir on the way from this firebrand. Lisa Rinna, for her part, is channeling her inner Kris Jenner as Momager to her model daughters, who are looking to make it big. That comes with its own challenges, though, as achieving too much fame too soon in one's life makes it hard to stay grounded. Finally, Lisa Vanderpump is knee-deep in dogs. Vanderpump Dogs, her new business venture, seems to be doing well already. With trips to Berlin, NYC, Las Vegas and Tokyo on tap, the new season (kicking off December 19) promises plenty of trips. That's where all the fun happens. Follow the link to watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills online and check out the first look at the new season right here:

Breastfeeding Ad Campaign Pushes For Legal Rights, Causes Controversy in Texas

A controversial student ad campaign supporting public breastfeeding legislation in Texas is causing a stir online this week, and it’s not hard to see why. The campaign, called “When Nurture Calls,” and its provocative images of women nursing babies in public toilet stalls make its point, and then some. “Private dining. Would you eat here?” asks the text of one poster. Others ask, “Bon appétit. Would you eat here?” and “Table for two. Would you eat here?” The much-talked-about advertisements are the work of University of North Texas graphic-art majors Johnathan Wenske and Kris Haro, both juniors. They decided to take on the polarizing issue of public breastfeeding for an assignment that required students to design a campaign for a social issue or product. The viral images generated wide support, but also backlash. Some critics have labeled public nursing “trashy” and criticized women for bearing “sex objects.” Some comments personally attacked photo model Monica Young (who posed with her baby) for being everything from indecent to too young to be a mom. That prompted her to post a response: “I get more sexual comments than anything. So yeah, it’d be pretty great not to have any nasty comments made while I’m feeding my child, with or without a cover.” “Whether I was a too young or not, what does it matter what age I am? A Teen Mom can breastfeed, too. I’m 21, so yeah I’m pretty young,” she adds. “Younger mothers are less likely to breastfeed. So hopefully it will encourage younger mothers to breastfeed, breastfeed in public and to not be ashamed to do it.” Breastfeeding on Instagram Pictures 1. Teresa Palmer Breastfeeding Teresa Palmer getting feasted on by her little guy. Breastfeeding at its most beautiful and touching. Wenske and Haro, both 20, say they chose the topic while coming across the story of a woman harassed in a Texas Target for breastfeeding in 2011. They were also inspired by learning about a state bill which seeks to strengthen the state’s existing public-breastfeeding law by bringing in an enforcement statute. It would have essentially protected moms who nurse in public from being stopped or harassed. The bill controversially died in last year’s legislative session. Public breastfeeding laws exist in most states, but with the exception of a few, including Connecticut, Vermont, and New Jersey, they have no enforcement provisions. This means various authorities are not accountable for their actions against breastfeeding moms, which can make all the difference in many situations. People divided on the issue tend to spar from opposite ends of the spectrum, which supporters believing that nursing is natural and should be welcome anywhere. Certain critics, meanwhile, are steadfast that because there is an exposed breast involved, nursing is a crude action best relegated to private spaces. What do you think? Sound off and vote in our surveys: YOUR TAKE: Should mothers breastfeed in public?   Of course! It’s totally natural! And besides, baby’s gotta eat! No way! That’s gross.

The Hamptons to Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian: Get Outta Here!

Those poor Kardashians. They just aren’t wanted by anyone these days. On the heels of Barack Obama spurning Kim Kardashian at a fundraiser in California this week, sources tell TMZ that Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian are meeting resistance in Long Island. The sisters are trying to rent property in order to film the upcoming E! series  Kourtney & Khloe Take the Hamptons , but there’s an ongoing problem within these posh New York hamlets: Residents don’t want anything to do with the family! Real estate sources confirm that producers are yet to lock down a home for Khloe and Kourtney because neighbors don’t want the paparazzi swarming at all hours. One Southampton native tells TMZ that folks are concerned the Kardashians will “attract trash and ruin Southampton,” so these residents want them to go to East Hampton instead, which is supposedly more “new money.” But apparently East Hampton doesn’t want to be associated with the Kardashians either. Don’t laugh, people. These are serious #FirstWorldProblems. Whatever will Khloe and Kourtney and the millionaires who live in The Hamptons do?!? 22 Eye-Katching Kardashian Red Karpet Photos 1.

Rumor Control: “X-Men” Director Denies Allegations He Drugged & Raped Underage California Boy

The “X-Men” director finally addresses the pedo accusations. X-Men Director Denies Sexually Abusing Underage Boy We wonder why it took him so long to make a statement? According to US Magazine: X-Men: Days of Future Past director Bryan Singer responded to the sexual abuse allegations against him on Thursday, calling them “outrageous” and “vicious.” He also announced his decision to bow out of promotional appearances for his latest superhero sequel amid the scandal. “The allegations against me are outrageous, vicious, and completely false,” Singer, 48, said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter on April 24. “I do not want these fictitious claims to divert ANY attention from X-Men: Days of Future Past. This fantastic film is a labor of love and one of the greatest experiences of my career.” The statement continued: “So, out of respect to all of the extraordinary contributions from the incredibly talented actors and crew involved, I’ve decided not to participate in the upcoming media events for the film. However, I promise when this situation is over, the facts will show this to be the sick twisted shakedown it is. I want to thank fans, friends, and family for all their amazing and overwhelming support.” Singer’s statement comes one week after his accuser, former child model Michael Egan III, filed a lawsuit alleging that the director had coerced him into having o**l and a**l sex when he was 17. The suit also claims that Egan was “lured into a sex ring” with promises of future jobs in the entertainment industry, though it does not accuse Singer of pressuring him into the ring. “It is obvious that this case was filed in an attempt to get publicity at the time when Bryan’s new movie is about to open in a few weeks,” Singer’s attorney Marty Singer (no relation) said in a statement at the time. He noted, too, that he was “very confident that Bryan will be vindicated in this absurd and defamatory lawsuit.” Despite him denying it, accusations like this tend to stick to a person like white on rice. Do you believe him?

Eminem And Bruno Mars Rise Up In New ‘Lighters’ Video

Em and Royce Da 5’9″ emerge from the darkness and find enlightenment in the new clip. By James Montgomery Eminem Photo: Michael Caulfield/WireImage Given its general grittiness (and the fact that it’s called Hell: The Sequel ), Eminem and Royce Da 5’9″ ‘s Bad Meets Evil album seems like the last place you’d ever find Bruno Mars . And yet, the pompadour-powered crooner shows up to sing the hook on “Lighters” (he also produced the track with his Smeezingtons cohorts), a decidedly upbeat ballad that provides a brief respite from the blood-and-guts boasts that Em and Royce pack on the disc. And sure, the track feels out of place because of that fact, but that hasn’t stopped it from becoming a rather sizeable Billboard hit. So it makes sense that there’d be an accompanying video that matches its uplift ethos every step of the way. And now, that video, directed by Rich Lee (“Not Afraid”), has arrived. In the new “Lighters” clip — which, it should be noted, does not contain a single lighter (though it does include the now-ubiquitous shot of Dre’s headphones) — Em and Royce journey from the darkness into the light, a metaphor that works rather well with the song’s message, if you think about it. Their voyage begins when Eminem discovers a secret chamber beneath his home, descends and wanders through a series of subterranean tunnels with only a flare to guide him. Royce is down there, too, though he’s locked up in a jail cell. He escapes thanks to a tunnel located behind a poster (“Shawshank” reference!). The two stumble through the dark, eventually breaking free, emerging into the light. When they finally do, the video reaches its rather (visually) stunning conclusion, as Em and Royce — plus an army of onlookers and Mars, who has been plaintively playing his piano the entire time — witness the slow ascension of a million paper lanterns, as the soft twilight slowly envelops them. It’s a stirring image, for sure, and yes, you can probably read plenty into it. Both Em and Royce have traveled dark roads in their past, but here, even if it’s just for one moment, one song, they’ve stumbled into the light. It’s sorta deep, and though it may not be in step with the messages they’re pushing on Hell: The Sequel, well, sometimes it’s nice to have a change of pace.

Octomom: Living Hand to Mouth

She was recently bailed out by PETA , but Nadya Suleman is currently living hand to mouth and in dire need of financial help, according to her lawyer, Jeff Czech. We doubt anyone is surprised … or concerned, for that matter. “The truth is Nadya is living from month to month right now,” he said. “There are a few deals in the pipeline … I hope that these will materialize for her family.” The attorney added that despite her mounting fiscal woes , “Fortunately, she does not seem to be getting down about the situation, though it does concern me.” Nadya was able to keep her home after getting a six month California mortgage extension and PETA stepped in with a $5,000 home loan payment and food. The kids and bills add up fast. [Photo: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com] But despite making a good amount of extra cash this year with various appearances, Nadya Suleman is still in financial trouble. Having 14 kids will do that. “I want to do the best for her that I can,” Czech said. “we have no legal rights to the biological father of her children being financially responsible for them.” So we’re blaming the dad? Shouldn’t Nads take responsibility for her own actions? The Duggar family has 19 kids but support them debt free. Just saying. The day of reckoning still may not be far off, either. Octomom faces foreclosure if she can’t pay off her $450,000 California home loan by September 10. She may want to take Vivid Entertainment up on its next offer.
