Kourtney Kardashian Turns 40: See Her Family’s Touching Tribute Video!

Kourtney Kardashian recently launched her very own brand , Poosh — just in time for her 40th birthday. That's right. As of Thursday, Kourtney turned 40 years old, and her family wasn't about to let her forget it. Family and friends shared their wildest memories of Kourtney in a Poosh video, and some of these are bonkers. Others … explain a lot . “One of the craziest stories I remember about Kourtney was when she was 2-year-old,” Kris reveals. Speaking of Kourtney, Kris says: “she fell asleep on the school bus, going to school.” At two years old? Even if Kris is referring to preschool, we've seen plenty of millionaires personally drop off their kids at preschool. “And,” Kris continues. “The bus driver didn’t see her sleeping on the bench because she was so tiny and petite” We get that Kourtney has always been teeny-tiny, but hat kind of rich people preschool  was  this? Maybe it's normal to put two-year-olds on a bus by themselves in Calabasas. Anyway, the story goes on: “And the bus driver dropped off all of the kids,” Kris says, noting that “Kourtney was still sleeping.” “He locked up the bus and went out to breakfast,” Kris reveals. “And that,” Kris understates. “Was pretty traumatizing.” Yes, we would imagine so. “Happy birthday, Kourtney. I can’t believe you’re 40-years-old,” Kris raves. “The time goes by so quickly,” she observes. “And in a blink of an eye, you’re 40!” “I promised you I wouldn’t cry on your birthday — at your party — and I’m going to try not to cry now,” Kris promises. “I just want you to know you’re the love of my life,” she affirms. “You are my little soulmate and my first born.” “And I love you more than you’ll ever imagine,” Kris gushes. “Happy birthday and I wish you [all the] happiness and God Bless. I love you!” “My wildest memory of Kourtney is probably just when we were younger,” Kendall begins. “She would babysit Kylie and I all the time,” she recalls. “And pick us up in her white BMW and she would drive so fast.” Remember, there's a 16-and-a-half year age difference between Kourtney and Kendall. “And she would take us to her house,” Kendall continues. “Where her and her boyfriend lived.” “She would just make us junk food all day long,” Kendall continues. “And let us play video games.” “We loved her for it,” she remarks. We would imagine so! Spoiling kids is one of the benefits of being an adult but not the primary caregiver. “Kylie and I looked up to her so much,” Kendall gushes. “And,” she concludes. “I just always aspired to be as funny and outgoing as she was.” Kylie says that her favorite memory of Kourtney involves the two of them arguing about Tinkerbell pajamas that Kylie wanted. Kourtney was a full-on adult when Kylie was born, so this is goofy. Maybe they don't have that many memories because of the age gap, which is sad, but Kylie's story is just … kind of dull. No shade. Khloe teases that she has no shortage of wild, sordid tales to share about Kourtney. She also says that, because she's such a good sister, she won't horrify Kourtney by tainting her Poosh brand with them. (Notably, a number of Kourt's friends say similar things about keeping quiet about her wild times — a great way to boost someone's rep) Kim's stories are all about being relentlessly bullied by her older sister. “I just remember having the saddest memories,” Kim says. “Because Kourtney was so mean to me all the time,” “She was always finding a way to pick on me or pick on me,” Kim complains. “A funny little example is when we were in Palm Springs …” Kim begins, explaining that they would visit their grandparents there. Kim accuses Kourt of having recruited all of her friends to spend time with her, not Kim, and even try to humiliate her in front of her peers. “She would take, like, grapefruit and oranges,” Kim accuses. “And throw them at me and try to get me to fall.” Happy birthday, Kourtney!

Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 2 Photos: Tales From the Crypt

Quite understandably, HBO is playing it close to the vest when it comes to spoilers for the final season of Game of Throne s . As a result of this extreme secrecy, even details like episode titles are being kept under wraps, and fans are forced to fight over crumbs of information like the lowliest peasants in Flea Bottom. So here's what little we know so far about Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 2: It'll be longer than the season premiere — clocking in at 58 minutes — but still be considerably shorter than the four feature-length installments to follow. Also, it should provide a nice counterweight to all the pastel cheeriness of the Easter festivities that will precede it — though it might be just as concerned with resurrection from the dead. Oh, and we have the following photos from the episode, generously provided by HBO execs who know we'll drive ourselves mad dissecting them for details. Join us as we do exactly that, won't you? 1. Crypt Keepers Something is going down in the crypts at Winterfell. You can bet whatever scheme is being hatched in Varys’ noggin is way more frightening than all those decaying Stark corpses. 2. Hatching a Plan Jon and Arya are there as well. We guess they got over their little feud about how smart Sansa is. 3. Drinking and Knowing Things Naturally, Tyrion brought a goblet of red to the meeting. It’s stressful always being the most knowledgeable person in the room. 4. Sam’s Concerned Sam Tarly’s got a lot on his mind these days. He has a kid and a baby mama to worry about, an army of the undead is inching closer by the day, and now he’s forced to make nice with the woman who torched his husband and brother. 5. Bran Ruminates And then there’s Bran, doing what he does best — staring creepily into middle-distance and making everyone uneasy about what sort of earth-shattering insight he’s about to reveal. 6. Busted Big Time Speaking of Bran, the guy who put him in that wheelchair is about to be in some serious sh-t. In addition to that fateful shove in S1E1, Kingslayer Jaime Lannister got that name by icing the Khaleesi’s father. View Slideshow

Chip and Joanna Gaines Announce New TV Network and Streaming App!

Back in November, we reported that Chip and Joanna Gaines were returning to television . Now, we know which TV network they’re taking over and they’ve announced their very own streaming service. But some fans are feeling a little put out — and see this as nothing but a calculated business move designed to enrich the Gaines brand. The Wrap reports that Allison Page of HGTV has been named the president of an exciting new project. That project will be a “multiplatform joint venture between Discovery, Inc. and the Gaines’ Magnolia brand.” The Fixer Upper stars will be taking over what we currently know as the DIY Network, which falls under the Discovery umbrella. Though we do not yet know the names of this new channel, TVE app, and SVOD service, we do know one thing. The world has been told to expect to see “Magnolia” somewhere in there. Discovery CEO David Zaslav released a statement on this new venture. “Chip and Joanna Gaines have become trusted, household names since the debut of Fixer Upper ,” Zaslav notes. “And through this joint venture,” he continues. “Discovery is proud to extend our relationship with them.” “They’ve got authenticity and relatability,” he observes. Zaslav describes those traits as forming “that special something that is so difficult in our business to find.” Zaslav goes on to explain why Discovery knows that investing in the Gaineses is the right move. “People love them, their taste, their businesses,” he points out. “They’ve built an ecosystem that aligns perfectly with our vision at Discovery,” he adds. Zaslav points out that Discovery has a lot of motivation “for fueling people’s passions.” So it seems like the brands are a natural fit for each other. Chip and Joanna Gaines also released a joint statement about this exciting new development. “Our intention with this network,” the statement begins. The Gaineses continue: “is to create and curate content that inspires, encourages, and helps to build bridges across our communities.” “We want honest, authentic programming,” the statement affirms. They want to create content “that brings families together.” “We believe David Zaslav and the team at Discovery are the perfect partners for this ambitious joint venture,” The Gaineses express. “And,” their statement continues. “We know Allison Page is the right person to lead this charge.” She’s certainly going to have her hands full, but she’s proven herself already at HGTV. “We’re ready to get started,” Chip and Joanna’s statement concludes. “And are expectant for all that’s ahead.” We’re still waiting on the names that all of these things will have, however. So when is all of this going down? The launch is scheduled for the summer of 2020. As exciting as this is for fans, others feel a little put off. It seems clear that Chip and Joanna have made a number of business decision with the aim of raking in as much cash as possible. Some of us would say that there’s nothing wrong with that, but others feel that this is a betrayal of their wholesome family image. Maybe those fans will get over their feelings of unease once all of the nice new Magnolia content rolls out. View Slideshow: Chip and Joanna Gaines Are Actually Getting Dragged for Their Pregnancy

Game of Thrones Season 8 Premiere SHATTERS Ratings Records!

After a wait that felt as long as winter north of the Wall, Game of Thrones returned for its final season on Sunday night. And if you spent the evening cringing when Jon made out with his aunt, or cheering when Bran stared daggers into Jaime’s soul, you certainly had plenty of company. The numbers for the premiere of Game of Thrones Season 8 are in — and they are staggering. Across all platforms (HBO, HBO GO and HBO NOW), a whopping 17.4 million people tuned in on Sunday night. And that number is certain to grow as more viewers return to Winterfell in the days to come. It’s officially GoT’s biggest episode to date, edging out the Season 7 finale , which drew in a then-unbelievable 16.9 million viewers. What may be even more surprising than the multi-platform numbers is the fact that more than 11 million people watched the premiere the old-fashioned way — by sitting down in front of the TV and turning on HBO. That’s the sort of event viewing that rarely happens anymore — and it’s what every network exec prays to the Seven Gods for. It’s also just one of many ways in which Thrones is a throwback juggernaut in the ratings department. These days, even popular shows tend to limp along and lose viewers as they reach the seven or eight season mark. But not Game of Thrones . GoT ratings have been climbing steadily since the very start, beginning with a comparatively paltry 9.3 million in Season 1 and swelling to a whopping 32.8 million for Season 7. (Those figures incorporate delayed viewing, on-demand, and streaming figures.) For comparison, huge network hits like This Is Us and The Big Bang Theory very rarely crack 20 million live viewers — and GoT is putting up similar numbers on a subscription service. In terms of the response from viewers, the premiere was met with overwhelming acclaim. Though there were a few holdouts who seemed to expect more after such a lengthy absence (The Game of Thrones Season 7 finale aired way back in August of 2017.), and felt that the installment had the feeling of a “place-setting” episode that was more concerned with setting the stage for things to come than with delivering an explosive hour of television. And to that we say, [SPOILER ALERT] only Game of Thrones could deliver dragons, zombies, revelations of incest, characters reuniting after seven seasons, and other major characters crossing paths for the very first time — and still have viewers demanding more. Oh, how we’ll miss it when it’s gone. View Slideshow: Game of Thrones Season 8 Photos: Smile, Jon Snow!

Game of Thrones Season Premiere: Did It Live Up to the Hype?

With all respect to Ned Umber, there were no major deaths on what most would say was the most anticipated season premiere in television history. But there were a few major revelations. None more pressing than the little nugget Samwell passed along to his very best friend, Jon Snow, who finally knows something… … yet likely wishes he did not. Indeed, Jon now knows that he’s the little nugget of Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen. He’s Aegon Targaryen, the rightful heir to the Iron Throne and the person to whom all residents of the Seven Kingdoms ought to be bowing down… not that misguided, very attractive and occasionally homicidal Mother of Dragons. That should make for some awkward pillow talk the next time these two fly off to some snow-covered caves and waterfalls, huh? “We could stay a thousand years. No one would find us,” Dany told her lover (and, ummm, nephew) about halfway through the season premiere, as the episode really tried to drive home the love these two blood relatives feel for one another. Will Jon tell Dany the truth? Will she respond by making (n)ice or with some serious fire? This was the key takeaway from a premiere that spent most of its time moving everyone into place for war. Just like the other main revelation from the premiere (Jaime seeing that Bran is very much alive and, in his own way, doing quite well), however, it was something the audience already knew. Yes, it’s exciting to think of where things will go now that Jon and Dany both think they have a claim to the Throne. And who out there isn’t psyched to see Jaime issue a “yo, totally my bad, but you caught me f-cking my sister” to Bran? But still: When there are only six total episodes remaining on the most popular drama of all-time, it’s fair for some fans to feel annoyed that no one really died on this premiere and no stunning truths were revealed to the viewers. And the Winner is? Yes, hail the True King! Click Here To Vote for Yes, amazing! No, what a snoozefest! Click Here To Vote for No, WTH?!? Game of Thrones Season 8 is finally here! But did the opening episode meet your expectations? View Poll » Elsewhere, though, the return installment clearly tried to give fans what they wanted after Game of Thrones took all of 2018 off. Dany and Jon went on a dragon ride! Arya reunited with her quasi sibling! And asked for a speciasl Dragonglass weapon! And got to trash talk the Hound! Sansa met (and stared down) Dany! Euron got to be all arrogant and sexy, while getting into Cersei’s pants at last! Theon rescued his sister and journeyed back to Winterfell to continue his redemption arc! And, perhaps most importantly, Cersei is settled in at King’s Landing, while nearly everyone else has arrived at Winterfell — including, very soon, The Night King. Winter is no longer coming. It is very much here and all parties are dug in at just two locations at last, preparing for the ultimate battle and criss-crossing the Seven Kingdoms for so many years. Was it just us, or did Game of Thrones also seem funnier than usual? What do dragons eat? Whatever they want. The last time we spoke was at Joffrey’s wedding. A miserable affair. It had its moments. I don’t know how to ride a dragon. Nobody does, until they ride a dragon. What if he doesn’t want me to? Then I’ve enjoyed your company, Jon Snow. You left me to die. First, I robbed you. We actually laughed out loud a few times — but we don’t tune in to Game of Thrones to laugh out loud. We tune in for bloodshed! And surprises! And broken alliances! And nudity! And… okay, the scene with Bronn gave us a bit of the latter. But most intriguing quote from the premiere was this, courtesy of Sam’s exchange with Jon: You gave up your crown to save your people. Would she do the same? That’s the most significant question as we head into yet another wildly anticipated episode next Sunday. What did YOU think of this premiere?

Jenelle Evans: See Her Latest, Potentially ILLEGAL Parenting Fail!

Look, Jenelle Evans isn't some world-class thinker, OK? And that's perfectly fine. Most of us aren't. But still, after all she's been through, you'd think she'd learn something. Anything . Unfortunately, it seems like that's never happened, and so we have situations like this one where Jenelle exposes her own questionable parenting and opens the door for tons of well-earned criticism. So what did she do this time? 1. Where to Begin? Jenelle, she … well, she’s made a lot of bad choices. 2. Our Girl It’s interesting though, because she makes such a wide variety of them. 3. Memories Remember when she was with Kieffer, and she stole her mom’s credit card and did heroin on national television? 4. Hey, Bud! Or when she thought it was a good idea to get pregnant so soon with Nathan Griffith that when her test was positive, she wasn’t sure if she was really pregnant or if it was just “leftovers” from the abortion she’d recently had after divorcing Courtland Rogers? 5. Ugh Or when she chose to marry David Eason, and every single second she’s spent with him since? 6. Fact Those are all good examples of some life-alteringly terrible choices she’s made.

Arrow to Take Final Bow, Conclude After Season 8

All good things must come to an end. And the same can be said for all good television shows. Allow us to present more evidence… … Arrow will conclude its beloved run on The CW after a shortened eighth season this autumn. The sad news was broken on Twitter by the show’s leading man, Stephen Amell, who wrote the following: Playing Oliver Queen has been the greatest professional experience of my life… but you can’t be a vigilante forever. Arrow will return for a final run of 10 episodes this Fall. There’s so much to say… for now I just want to say thank you. Here’s the positive thing, though: Amell went on to hint at some sort of future for himself as Oliver Queen, along with the franchise in general. During a Facebook Live, Amell added on Wednesday night: “Something tells me even when I’m done, I won’t be gone. If you watch the Arrowverse, you should understand that… I think it’s been a good run. It’s no Supernatural, but it’s been a good run.” Arrow returned on March 4 from a three-week hiatus — and fell to a series low in the 18-49-year-old demographic, (0.2) while delivering its smallest audience of the season. Still, though, this move has likely been a long time coming. Nearly every series loses viewers, along with entertainment value/creativity, by this point in its run. “This was a difficult decision to come to, but like every hard decision we’ve made for the past seven years, it was with the best interests of Arrow in mind,” executive producers Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim and Beth Schwartz said in a statement. They added: “We’re heartened by the fact that Arrow has birthed an entire universe of shows that will continue on for many years to come. “We’re excited about crafting a conclusion that honors the show, its characters and its legacy and are grateful to all the writers, producers, actors, and – more importantly – the incredible crew that has sustained us and the show for over seven years.” The DC Comics-inspired series — which also stars David Ramsey, Emily Bett Rickards, Echo Kellum, Katie Cassidy, Rick Gonzalez, Juliana Harkavy, Colton Haynes, Kirk Acevedo and Sea Shimooka — debuted in October of 2012. It launched numerous  spinoff series within The CW’s “Arrow ‘verse,” including The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl and the upcoming Batwoman standalone series starring Ruby Rose. Ramsey, who has portrayed Oliver’s best friend, John Diggle, since the series premiere, reflected on the show’s journey and expressed his desire to go out on a high note shortly after Amell made this announcement. “What an awesome ride! @arrow fans have been the best any actor could’ve asked for!” Ramsey Tweeted, adding: “Thank you for helping me bring John Diggle/Spartan to life!!! Love all of you! Can’t wait for you to see what we have in stock for you. Let’s end on a high, shall we?” Elsewhere, Colton Haynes, who returned as a series regular this season, tweeted: “Sad to say that #Arrow will be coming to an end after a 10 episode Season 8. Thank you to all the fans who’ve watched. It’s been such a blessing to be a part of this incredible show. “What a beautiful journey.” The final season’s abbreviated run means Arrow will wrap up shortly after this fall’s “Crisis on Infinite Earths,” the next crossover with The Flash and Supergirl (and possibly Legends of Tomorrow).  At the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour in January, per TMZ, The CW President Mark Pedowitz said the special event will take “some big swings.” We can’t wait to see what’s on tap. Now… you tell us: Will you miss Arrow? Or is this just about the riight time for it to go away? View Slideshow: 19 Best Shows in CW History: Ranked! Other notable show ending in the near future include Modern Family and The Big Bang Theory. Which will you miss most?

This Is Us: Coming to an End!

This Is Us viewers are forced to break out multiple boxes of tissues on a weekly basis. The NBC drama is darn good, but darn sad and sentimental as well. Now, however, due to a bit of shocking news from showrunners Isaac Aptaker and Dan Fogelman, fans of the series are likely to lose their emotional $hit for reasons that have nothing to do with ongoing storylines. This is a long-winded way of saying the following: This Is Us is coming to an end!!!!!! In, like, three years. But still. In a revealing interview with Deadline, Aptaker and Fogelman say pretty clearly that the show will likely wrap up after Season 6. “We’ve got multiple seasons mapped out,” Fogelman tells the outlet of his beloved drama, which is currently in Season 3. “I think this season has been a lot about redemption, but also a lot of rebirth. Next season is a season of new beginnings and restarts.” Fans can expect interweaving timelines to play an even more prominent role in 2019-2020, the producers promise, but they also reveal that the plan all along has been to conclude This Is Us after six seasons. Explains Aptaker: “From day one, Dan came in with his master plan for the big picture stuff of the show and said, ‘I think this is where we end up. I think this is what I know. Let’s figure out the rest together.’ “So all of the writers and the actors really know everything. “We’re all pretty good at keeping secrets by now, it’s been three years, but it’s a total open book for everyone who works on the show, so there are no secrets from each other.” Naturally, of course, NBC may have something to say about this plan. The network renewed This Is Us for two additional seasons during its initial run, making it clear that it saw long-term potential in the stories of Jack, Randall, Kate and company. If the series maintains its popularity, and executies offer Aptaker and Fogelman enough money to stick around, who the heck knows? This Is Us could air 17 seasons in the end. For now, however, arcs and stories are being written with the sixth season end date in mind. And it sounds like the two men in charge know exactly how they want to say goodbye. “I would hope that it’s elegant,” Aptaker told Deadline of the series finale, which he’s already thought about it.” He continued: “That’s what we’re going for. I would hope that when we reach our ending, people think it’s a really satisfying end place, that makes sense, and it feels like they’ve watched something that is a complete piece of work because that’s really how we’re trying to plan it. “Almost like you would a book, or a super-long movie. “We’ve had this end in mind for a long time, so we’re able to plan for it, and try to make it feel like it’s a whole, as opposed to a series that’s going to go endlessly.” This Is Us – which stars, among others, Sterling K. Brown, Justin Hartley, Chrissy Metz, Mandy Moore and Milo Ventimiglia – airs Tuesdays at 9/8 c on NBC. It will definitely make you cry. But it’s pretty fantastic.

Modern Family: It’s Coming to an End!

One of the most successful sitcoms in television history will soon be coming to an end. During her panel discussion at the 2019 Television Critics Association winter press tour on Tuesday, ABC President Karey Burke announced that Modern Family has been renewed for its 11th season. Hooray, right? Yes, but before you pop open that bottle of champagne: It has been renewed for its 11th and FINAL season. Referencing so-creators Steven Levitan and Christopher Lloyd, Burke gushed over the series that has won Outstanding Comedy Series at the Emmys five times. “So proud to announce that Modern Family is returning for its 11th and final season,” Burke said, adding in her statement: “Chris and Steve have created one of the most seminal and iconic comedies in television history. “In its final season, there will be more milestone events that anyone who has been a fan of the series won’t want to miss.” Lloyd and Levitan released their own statements on the end of their show’s incredible run as well. First, from Lloyd: For 10 years, our characters have bravely faced turning points in life and moved through them to great personal enrichment; we have chosen a different path by doing one more season of Modern Family. And now from Levitan: Even after 10 years together, we realized there are still some things our writers don’t yet know about each other’s sex lives. As would be the case for any series that has aired for a full decade, ratings have been trending downward of late for the sitcom. Modern Family is averaging 5.1 million total viewers for Season 10, along with a 1.4 rating among 18-49-year olds; down 10 and 15 percent from Season 9 … … yet ranking as ABC’s number-two comedy (behind The Conners) and number-four series overall. Over the years, Modern Family has won 22 Emmys. The comedy has also picked up a Golden Globe… four SAG Award wins for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series… a Peabody Award… two GLAAD Media Awards… two NAACP Image Awards… six WGA awards… four PGA awards… a Television Critics award. And this list doesn’t even include all the individual honors earned by the show’s cast members. It will go down as one of the most decorated programs of all-time. (And it will end a year after another all-time sitcom great, The Big Bang Theory, airs its final episode on CBS this spring.) Modern Family tells the story of the Dunphys and the Pritchetts — and it has maintained a very steady cast through the years. All of the original actors and actresses remain in their roles, in fact, including: – Ed O’Neill as Jay Pritchett – Julie Bowen as Claire Dunphy – Ty Burrell as Phil Dunphy – Sofia Vergara as Gloria Pritchett – Jesse Tyler Ferguson as Mitchell Pritchett – Eric Stonestreet as Cameron Tucker – Sarah Hyland as Haley Dunphy – Nolan Gould as Luke Dunphy – Ariel Winter as Alex Dunphy – Rico Rodriguez as Manny Delgado. Will you miss Modern Family? Or is this the right time for the show to say goodbye?
