Divorce??? Ex-RHONY Star Bethenny Frankel Splits From Hubby Jason Hoppy!!!

We knew they were havin’ problems… but for real tho? According to the LA Times , Bethenny’s split from her husband after two years of marriage. Frankel, a “Real Housewives of New York City” alum, has announced her separation from Jason Hoppy, her husband of nearly three years, saying it brought her “great sadness.” “This was an extremely difficult decision that as a woman and a mother, I have to accept as the best choice for our family,” Frankel said, according to People. “We have love and respect for one another and will continue to amicably co-parent our daughter who is and will always remain our first priority. She called the situation “immensely painful” and “heartbreaking.” The coming split had been reported by InTouch last week, with an insider saying at the time, “They’ve had their exit plan in mind for months. It’s really just a matter of when they’ll file.” A friend said problems had been bubbling for a year. Late on Sunday, the “Bethenny Ever After” star thanked her fans via Twitter for their support, saying, “You give me so much love, and I am so grateful. It feels like your words could get someone through anything.” Hoppy and Frankel married in March 2010, with Frankel triumphantly tweeting at the time, “I’m finally a real housewife! On way to honeymoon. Best night of my life.” She was seven months pregnant with daughter Bryn Hoppy at the time, and the wedding was chronicled in “Bethenny Getting Married.” In “Ever After,” however, the couple were seen struggling, with Frankel telling People in July, that the second year of marriage “was not easy” and they’d “hit bottom” but come out the other side. “I think we have what it takes to make it work. I don’t have a backup plan. It’s not like shopping for shoes and getting a new pair. That’s not what it’s about,” she said then. This was Frankel’s second marriage. She and Peter Sussman were married briefly in 1996. We hope these two can work their issues out so they can still be peaceful around their baby girl Bryn. Images via WENN

Jerry Sandusky Releases Letter, Promises to ENDURE

Jerry Sandusky refuses to go away. The disgraced ex-Penn State coordinator, who was convicted in June on over 40 counts of sexual abuse and sentenced to in October to at least 30 years in prison , has released a bizarre new letter. Dated December 18, the note (addressed to The Citizen Voice , a Central Pennsylvania newspaper) decrees that “justice and fairness were not a focus” in his trial. Sandusky goes on to say: “Right now, our focus is on appeal. Time is much to learn, issues and information not presented. Nobody, who covered the case and reported it had the time or took the time to study the allegations, the accusers, the inconsistency, and the methods.” Sandusky has alleged a major conspiracy is responsible for his conviction, one that involves the media, investigators, civil attorneys and, of course, his accusers. He ends the latest example of his despicable ways by writing out an acronym for ENDURE: E — Embrace each day as a gift N — Never surrender except to God D — Don’t let your situation get the best of you U — Understand God’s purpose and presence. R — Remain as positive as possible E — Exercise your mind, body, and spirit.

Miley Cyrus, Sex Doll Go for Spin

It’s official and sort of refreshing: Miley Cyrus truly doesn’t care at this point. The singer has received a bit of flak over recent weeks for a few lewd images, from grabbing a stripper’s butt during a birthday celebration to grabbing her own crotch during a rendition of Billy Idol’s “Rebel Yell.’ She even called out Taylor Swift via Twitter. But the young singer is continuing to embrace this risque image, posting a photo to Twitter over the weekend of a Christmas gift she recently received: “Does this count for the carpool lane?” Cyrus asked as a caption to the image of herself and a blow-up doll riding shotgun. We’re pretty sure the answer is no. But we’re also pretty sure this rebellious side of Miley is starting to grow on us.

Jesseca White, Ne-Yo (Non) Baby Mama, PISSED Over Behind the Music Interview

Ne-Yo’s former maybe baby mama is pisssssssed after the singer went on VH1’s Behind the Music and discussed their relationship from a few years ago. Jesseca White has hired Gloria Allred as a result. Why? Well, you see, Ne-Yo used to date Jesseca White. During their time together, Jesseca had a baby which Ne-Yo initially thought was his … not the case. The pair reached a settlement agreement in 2009 in which Ne-Yo paid $575,000 to Jesseca White, who in turn officially said that the kid wasn’t his. Ne-Yo’s name was removed from the birth certificate, too. Fast forward to the present and Ne-Yo’s Behind the Music special. By speaking about the ordeal, he may have violated the confidentiality clause in the settlement. Allred claims Ne-Yo falsely painted Jesseca as a liar who broke his heart and vanished, and that Jesseca has been defamed, ridiculed and harassed. According to Gloria, Jesseca has been unable to work and suffers from mental anguish and is “beset by nausea, vomiting and hair loss” thanks to Ne-Yo. Jesseca is asking Ne-Yo to settle the matter amicably out of court, or else she will pursue more serious legal options. He has yet to respond to her camp. The popular singer went on to have two actual children with girlfriend Monyetta Shaw in the three years since breaking up with Jesseca White.

Hi Hater: Spike Lee Calls ‘Django Unchained’ Disrespectful

Are you going to see it?? According to Essence , Spike isn’t givin’ the film any of his time: Although opening night tickets for Quentin Tarantino’s latest film, Django Unchained, are selling out left and right, there’s one Hollywood filmmaker who doesn’t plan to see the film. In a recent interview with VIBETV, Spike Lee had very little to say about the film, which is a love story based in the days of slavery, and insisted he hadn’t seen it and wasn’t planning on it. “All I’m going to say is that it’s disrespectful to my ancestors,” says Lee. “That’s just me…I’m not speaking on behalf of anybody else.” The Red Hook Summer director is known for his outspoken opinions, and for ruffling a few feathers with his own projects. Django stars Jamie Foxx and Kerry Washington and has received mixed reviews from top critics across the country. The movie hits theaters on Christmas Day. Hmmmm…what do you think?

Websites Go Dark: Sandy Hook Moment of Silence Honors Victims, Calls For Action

Some major websites went dark briefly Friday in a “moment of silence” for the victims of last week’s shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. AOL, Yahoo, The Huffington Post, Digg, and more than 100,000 people and sites have pledged to participate in Causes (dot) com’s Web Goes Silent campaign. People and companies across the Internet were also spreading the word by tweeting their intention to go quiet Friday with the hashtag #momentforSandyHook. Silicon Valley venture capitalist Ron Conway promoted the online moment of silence, which is part of a larger campaign for federal gun control legislation . Conway is leading the Causes campaign along with other big names including Ryan Seacrest, Jack Dorsey, Britney Spears, MC Hammer and Suze Orman. Sites that participated in Friday’s moment of silence were invited to do so on their own, or to embed an official badge with a green ribbon on their sites. Sites using the code appeared grayed out, save for a white box reading “We are observing a National Moment of Silence for the victims of the Sandy Hook tragedy.” Conway joined other tech notables and celebrities to demand action for stronger gun control in a full-page ad in the Wednesday New York Times . The ad was run by Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a lobbying group of more than 700 U.S. mayors which began after the Aurora, Colorado, shootings in July. It was seen a surge in new support after Sandy Hook, although at the NRA press conference today, the group called for more armed security at schools. Time for more gun control regulations?   YES. Fewer guns, fewer tragedies! NO. It’s unconstitutional and won’t stop anything! View Poll »

Mayan Calendar: Totally Way Off!

The Mayan calendar was off the mark today. December 21, 2012 is here and so are we. What a JOKE. On the plus side, at least after the end of the world doesn’t happen today, we can stop reading about it, right? One wonders why we ever even did. “There’s no real prophecy that says this is the end of the world,” said Christopher Powell, a noted Mayan archeologist, told ABC. “Not from the Mayan ruins, anyway.” The Archaeological Institute of America adds, “Whatever the significance of the date is, it is significance we put on it; it’s not the significance the Maya put on it.” “It’s not coming from anywhere in literature or hieroglyphic writing.” Over at Discovery, physicist Ian O’Neill wrote “there’s no evidence to suggest the Mayans believed the end of their Long Count calendar would spell doomsday.” NASA’s apocalypse video also totally shoots it down hardcore. So how did this global obsession/nonsense even start? The Maya, who lived in Central America between A.D. 250 and 900, had a cyclical calendar that ran approximately one human lifetime, or 52 years (life was shorter back then). To account for events more than 52 years away, they devised another calendar, one that ran 5,126 years, and apparently began in the year 3114 B.C. The math: 5,126-3,114 = 2,012. “I believe the Mayan calendar was based on some incredibly good astronomy, said Lawrence Joseph, author of Apocalypse 2012. “They were really good at knowing when.” “They weren’t so good at saying what’s going to happen then.” But does any Mayan calendar really predict anything? Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History said, “Western messianic thought has twisted the vision of ancient civilizations like the Maya.” It said the Maya believed time started and ended with regularity, with nothing apocalyptic. O’Neill blames the marketing campaign in 2009 that promoted the Roland Emmerich disaster movie 2012 for propagating the Mayan Doomsday legend. “It’s almost like you’re out there looking for evidence of a looming apocalypse,” said anthropologist Wade Davis of the National Geographic Society.” “I think it also ties into a lot of uncertainty that exists in our world today.” That uncertainty is definitely real, and it is called the fiscal cliff . It’ll still be there in the morning, too, most likely. Apocalypse happening today:   Yes No Unclear View Poll »

Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa to Teach Son About Pot

“Our son is just going to know that daddy likes to smoke.” So say a pregnant Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa in a new E! interview, as the couple talks of its impending son and the honest ways in which it plans to raise him. “I’m not going to be smoking right there over the baby, because smoke in general and being high is not good for a kid,” Khalifa says . “None of that. But definitely he’s going to know what it is – and he’ll know the difference between being a child and not being able to use it and being an adult and knowing how to use it.” Rose went on to say marijuana is akin to alcohol and most parents make their children aware that that is simply an adult drink. Elsewhere, Rose insists on having a natural water birth . She’s embracing it, in fact. “I’m looking forward to the pain, actually. My family thinks I’m crazy, but I want to feel the pain and I want…the end result, just holding my baby and going through all that for him.” It’s a sweet sentiment. And at least we know her man has something at home that ought to make her feel a lot better afterward.
