Y’all Sure? Steve Harvey Invited To Host Miss Universe Pageant Once Again In 2016

Steve Harvey Asked To Host Miss Universe Again Next Year Steve Harvey has been getting relentlessly roasted in the days since announcing the wrong Miss Universe winner on live television over the weekend. But as much as Steve has become the butt of millions of memes and jokes and even the subject of racial taunting, his little ratings boost blunder may have translated into more money in the bank for the slandered comedian. The Miss Universe organization has actually asked Steve to host the pageant again next year. Via Deadspin : Steve Harvey has gotten an invitation to return as the host of the Miss Universe pageant next year, despite Sunday’s snafu in which he announced the wrong winner. In an interview today on Jim Rome’s CBS Sports Radio show, Mark Shapiro, Chief Content Officer at WME|IMG, said the Family Feud host was “very remorseful” about the error and that Harvey was “absolutely” welcome back to host the 2016 pageant. Shapiro said Harvey “did a great job. He was funny, he was informative, he’s high energy, he’s got a great following… I definitely want him back, and I would hate to see him not come back. He’s going to want a shot to redeem himself.” In fact, the Belize tourism board even specifically invited him to come redeem himself at their Costa Maya Festival in the upcoming months: Interesting that Belize seems so welcoming when a good chunk of the Latin American community is still coming for Steve’s throat right now… It will be interesting to see how this pans out next year. Hopefully the card will be less confusing for Steve next time around… Instagram / Miss Universe / Twitter Continue reading

True Or False: Is Kris Jenner Keeping Grandma Caitlyn Away From Baby Saint?

Kris Jenner Bans Caitlyn From Seeing Saint Kris Jenner apparently isn’t feeling Caitlyn these days . Rumor has it that ever since the Kardashians had an unwelcome intruder stroll into the front door, Kris is keeping tight control on who comes in and out of her house to see Kimmy and the kiddies. According to an insider, she’s also using this as an excuse to get under Caitlyn’s skin by blocking her from coming on the property to see her newest grandson. Via RadarOnline : Kris Jenner has made it crystal clear that her ex is not welcome around their new grandson ! According to a source, Kris, 60, continues to find any way she can to twist the knife with Caitlyn Jenner — but this time she’s hitting the 66-year-old Olympian champ below the belt by banning her from seeing Kim Kardashian‘s brand new baby boy, Saint West. “Kris is the gatekeeper on Kim’s behalf when it comes to appointment times with the baby,” a source told RadarOnline.com. “She’s in charge of who comes and goes.” Unfortunately, continued the source, “As far as Kris is concerned Caitlyn has no business being at Kim’s bedside.” Controlling Kris, noted the source, just “wants the entire family to move on and put Caitlyn behind them.” Kris’s focus on cutting Caitlyn out has put Kardashian, 35, in an uncomfortable position. However, “Ultimately, Kim’s mom will always come first and Kris has really put her foot down,” said the source. “She does not want Caitlyn cooing over Saint, especially if there are cameras in tow.” Seems silly. Surely Kris has control over who comes in her house, but not over who Kim’s kid can and cannot meet. If Kimmy really objects to Caitlyn not seeing Saint, it’s only a short drive across town to take the baby to see his other Grandparent. Continue reading

‘In Short, Catching Hell is a Horror Film’

In addition, that is, to an exceptional Alex Gibney documentary premiering tonight on ESPN : “How could the Cubs, up 3-0 and five outs away from the World Series, manage to lose 8-3? Did the players feel the expectation and the dread of its upending and so fulfill their fans’ darkest fears? And why was it that once that game six was lost, most of the fans in Wrigley — and even some of the players, as it turns out — were certain that they would lose the next day, as if the fates had decided to twist the knife in their wound?” [ Grantland ]
