Lisa Vanderpump: The Other Housewives Can Go Eff Themselves! BYE!

Fans are still recovering from the polarizing revelation that Lisa Vanderpump is not returning to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills . But even before she shared that news, Lisa was so over the show. On this week’s aftershow, Lisa had so much more to say … including an invitation for her erstwhile castmates to go eff themselves. On Tuesday night’s The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Aftershow, Lisa Vanderpump was not mincing words. “Did I tell them all to go f–k themselves yet, or not?” she asked a producer. “Or did we leave that bit out?” “Uh,” the producer responded delicately. “Did you tell them all to go f–k themselves?” That’s an important point to clarify. “Okay, I’m joking,” Lisa said. “But carry on.” Lisa explained that she felt like public enemy number one on the show. “To have five against one is just not a good place to be,” she expressed. “I just think it’s something I would never encourage or ever condone.” Lisa opined. She added: “I don’t like to see it in my businesses when it’s all against one.” “I certainly have never ever supported my children if they were ever guilty of that choice,” Lisa noted. “So for me, I just would never be part of that.” There’s more to it than Lisa not enjoying being ganged up upon. She says that she also doesn’t like being reduced to a single role in the eyes of so many. “I’ve always said I’m not just a Housewife,” Lisa recalled. “I didn’t make a career out of being a Housewife,” she clarified. “‘Housewives’ has documented my life.” “I don’t have time for bulls–t negative minutiae,” Lisa expressed. “I don’t.” “I will continue to run my businesses: five restaurants, the dog center, dog center in China,” Lisa Vanderpump vowed. She promised to also continue “my political activity fighting for many things.” Those causes include “LGBTQ, humane treatment for dogs, working with Trevor Project, the suicide prevention, Vegas.” “There’s only one of me,” she expressed. Lisa predicts: “My Housewives will probably say, ‘Thank God.'” Kyle Richards begs to differ. While she admits that if Lisa were to suddenly show up again at social gatherings, they’d be surprised, Kyle predicts that her friendship would be welcome. “Everybody wants to move forward so much,” Kyle said. “That we’ll work through this!” “I think it’d be actually better if [she] were here and joined us and worked through it together,” she opined. Kylie suggested that it was a preferable alternative “instead of via Twitter and stories and this sort of backdoor situation happening.” It was a delight to see Brandi Glanville on camera, discussing her unlikely friendship with Denise Richards. She also threw shade on Lisa Vanderpump (but these days, who isn’t?). Lisa may have a point about feeling ganged up upon and not needing her Housewife status to be happy. But we have to agree with Kyle Richards — if Lisa made an effort to mend fences, things would improve. If she doesn’t want to, however, no one can make her.

Petty President: President Trump Tightens Cuba Travel Restrictions, Bans Cruise Ships

Source: ADALBERTO ROQUE / Getty In a move some expected once President Donald Trump took office, the administration is rolling back nearly 20 years of eased travel restrictions to Cuba and banning all cruise ship stops from the United States. The move was enacted to put pressure on Cuban officials and to keep American dollars away from its economy. NPR reports : “This administration has made a strategic decision to reverse the loosening of sanctions and other restrictions on the Cuban regime. These actions will help to keep U.S. dollars out of the hands of Cuban military, intelligence, and security services,” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in a statement. Mnuchin, who joined Trump on his first state visit to the United Kingdom this week, added that Cuba, with a population of fewer than 12 million people, “continues to play a destabilizing role in the Western Hemisphere, providing a communist foothold in the region and propping up U.S. adversaries in places like Venezuela and Nicaragua.” U.S. law bars travel to Cuba for tourist activities, but Americans have been allowed to go there under 12 authorized categories, including individual and group “people-to-people” travel — a subcategory of the education provision that permitted visits to the socialist country for cultural and educational purposes. The travel restrictions go into effect on June 5. — Photo: Getty

Ellen Pompeo: I Nearly Quit Grey’s Anatomy (Because of Patrick Dempsey, Basically)

At this point, we’re pretty sure that Grey’s Anatomy will never end. Ellen Pompeo is signed for the next two seasons of the ABC drama, which will take it through year 17… and there’s really no conclusion in sight. The show continues to perform very well for the network on Thursday nights. However, as part of Variety’s Actors on Actors series, the 49-year-old admits that she nearly left the series a long time ago, which likely would have spelled doom for the ratings and the program’s future in general. Why did Pompeo consider quitting? She got real with Taraji P. Henson, who asked on this special if her fellow actress had ever thought of walking away from the hit ABC series. “There were many moments,” she told Henson in response to this question, adding in more detail: “It’s funny: I never wanted off the bus in the year that I could get off. The first 10 years we had serious culture issues, very bad behavior, really toxic work environment. “But once I started having kids, it became no longer about me. I need to provide for my family.” Pompeo signed a massive new deal in early 2018, so her family should most definitely be provided for at this point. That’s why we’re focused instead on her description of Grey’s Anatomy as a “toxic” place to work back in the day. It’s not really too hard to assume that she’s referencing a couple specific co-stars with that quote. First, there’s Patrick Dempsey. Yes, he played Pompeo’s love interest for 11 seasons and shared an endless array of beautiful and romantic moments with the show’s lead — but it was also clear for a long time that the two weren’t best friends. Far from it, in fact. Pompeo has admitted, for example, that she hasn’t spoken to Dempsey in years . His character was killed off after Season 11. And while Pompeo never mentions Dempsey by name as a source of the issues, she does tell Henson that things got better after that first decade or so on set. “After Season 10, we had some big shifts in front of the camera, behind the camera,” she explains. “It became my goal to have an experience there that I could be happy and proud about, because we had so much turmoil for 10 years. “My mission became, this can’t be fantastic to the public and a disaster behind the scenes. Shonda Rhimes and I decided to rewrite the ending of this story. That’s what’s kept me. “Patrick Dempsey left the show in season 11, and the studio and network believed the show could not go on without the male lead. So I had a mission to prove that it could. “I was on a double mission.” Mission clearly accomplished, as Grey’s Anatomy remains one of the top-rated shows on network television. Pompeo added in this interview that Dempsey was getting paid double what she was in the beginning because he had a “television quote” and she had never done TV. She revealed the The Hollywood Reporter previously that she once asked for $5,000 more than Dempsey “just on principle.” “They wouldn’t give it to me,” she told THR. “And I could have walked away, so why didn’t I? It’s my show; I’m the number one. I’m sure I felt what a lot of these other actresses feel: “Why should I walk away from a great part because of a guy? You feel conflicted but then you figure, ‘I’m not going to let a guy drive me out of my own house.'” Pompeo really does get as candid as one can in this discussion. Heck, she even admits that Grey’s Anatomy has suffered in quality for awhile now. “I haven’t been challenged creatively at all. Every once in a while we do an amazing storyline,” Pompeo said in her Variety interview, adding: “But for the last five years, I’ve had other milestones that we were trying to achieve behind the camera.” Grey’s Anatomy Season 16 will debut on ABC in fall of 2019.

Ashley Martson: Jay’s Mistress Was Just Another Victim of His Lies!!

Ashley Martson may still love Jay Smith on some level, but their marriage is over. It's for the best. He cheated on her — using Tinder right after their wedding, and again later during their marriage. And based upon what Ashley has said on social media, that may just be the tip of the iceberg. But she has, on screen and on social media, expressed a lot of anger towards the women who were on the receiving end of Jay's extramarital affections. Now, Ashley has wisened up. She's no longer crusading against “homewreckers.” In a new post, Ashley declares one of Jay's alleged “other women” as being innocent. 1. Ashley is laying the blame where it belongs We’ve seen Ashley, on social media and on screen, express her fury at Jay’s mistresses. In a new Instagram Story, Ashley tells her fans that she no longer feels that way. 2. Ashley and Jay are over On April 15, Ashley took to Instagram to accuse Jay of having screwed up yet again … and to gloat about his likely deportation. 3. They broke up Larissa didn’t announce, technically, that she and Jay had split. Larissa did it for her. 4. Who was Ashley to deny it? Real talk: we’re not sure if that’s usually a safe way to get around an NDA, but fans still have enough questions about Jay’s cheating to keep watching the show to find out what happened. 5. Jay cheated again Ashley didn’t just insinuate it on social media — she put it there, in writing, on page 5 of her divorce filing. 6. Ashley’s fury didn’t just extend to Jay After the word was out, she took aim at his alleged mistress, accusing her of being a homewrecker. That is, of course, not a thing — Jay could be accused of it, but a third party cannot be blamed for the end of their marriage. View Slideshow

Tori Roloff Cannot Believe She’s Reached This Social Media Milestone

Tori Roloff has achieved a major milestone. Being pregnant with her second child ? Nah, whatever. There are literally millions of people pregnant with their second child right now. (JUST KIDDING! We love Tori and her husband, Zach, and we are so so so so so so very happy for them right now.) But the long-time Little People, Big World star accomplished something impressive of late aside from having her egg fertilized by Zach’s sperm: She has garnered over one million Instagram followers! That’s the sort of figure typically reserved for a singer… or an athlete… or a lingerie model… or a Kardashian/Jenner. However, Tori has surpassed it by basically just being a very nice, very normal person with one adorable son. “One. Million. Followers,” Roloff wrote to open her caption to the first photo shared above. She continued: “What in the world? You guys. This is honestly such an honor. It has been such a fun ride sharing just a little part of my life with all of you. “The love and support I have felt from you guys on my journey has been overwhelming and wonderful.” Roloff had previously talked about her goal with social media, writing back in March of 2018 that she wanted to be a positive influence on this platform. “I am just a normal woman,” Tori wrote back then, adding: “There’s nothing extraordinary about me. I live my life the way i believe God wants me to and I just try to be a good person. I am so thankful I can share my story with my followers and I pray that my social media is a place to bring light into someone else’s life. “That being said I see how social media can quickly become such a dark and scary place. I don’t want that here.” No? What does she want her followers to experience? “I choose to laugh and be silly and not take things so seriously because I love life and I love having fun in life,” she wrote as her message. “I hope you all see that and maybe even practice that on your own social media outlets… “My goal here is to continue to make people laugh and show everyone I’m just a normal girl who got thrown into extraordinary circumstances and you better believe I’m not going to waste a damn moment.” This strategy appears to have worked. Roloff has gained about 400,000 followers since posting the above words. And she’s grateful for each and every last one of them. “I feel like social media can sometimes be a scary place but I’ve tried to keep mine uplifting and fun and I hope you guys feel that,” she wrote on Tuesday, concluding: “Thanks for joining me on this ride and being a part of my story. Even though- lets be real- y’all are here for Jackson.” Compared to her first pregnancy, Tori also said she’s getting bigger over a shorter period of time: “Also- belly why you gotta grow so fast the second time around?” Tori and Zach broke their huge baby news back on May 13, stating at the time: “We are so excited to announce that Jackson is going to be a big brother! We can not wait to meet our sweet baby girl!”  Yup, it’s gonna be a girl. And Tori is due in November. We cannot wait to see the photos, and to see how many new followers Roloff gains once she has a pair of precious offspring to show off.

Jenelle Evans Lashes Out: Barbara Evans Is Abusing My Kids!

Another day, another bizarre update in the increasingly sad saga of Jenelle Evans. As you've likely heard by now, Jenelle lost custody of her kids  last month. For most parents, that would be the end of the public spectacle, as they would remove themselves from social media and all other platforms in order to focus on regaining custody and avoid further damage to their reputation. But that's not the case with Jenelle. No, Jenelle is still posting online and engaging in very public altercations with members of her own family. Probably not the smartest behavior for a woman who's trying to prove that she's capable of providing a stable home for her children. But when have we ever known Jenelle to engage in smart behavior? Take a look at her latest outbursts : 1. Jenensley Jenelle posted a photo of herself with daughter Ensley on Instagram today. Obviously, it was a throwback pic, as Jenelle lost custody of the 2-year-old last month. 2. Jenellfie Jenelle also posted this selfie. As many commenters pointed out, she looks pretty happy for someone who just lost custody of her kids. 3. Back On Her BS But it’s the captions to Jenelle’s photos — rather than the photos themselves — that have garnered the most attention from her followers. 4. Keep Telling Yourself That … “It’s the little things in life,” Evans wrote. “With everything that has been going on lately, I’ve come to realize a child’s love for their mother will never fade.” 5. The Delusion Is Strong With This One “No distance, not time, no person can change that special love,” she continued. 6. Did It Burn When You Put It On? From there, Jenelle explained the significance of this piece of jewelry. View Slideshow

Kim Kardashian is Accused of Murder in This KUWTK Clip

Kim Kardashian has been working a lot of late to help free inmates who have been imprisoned for all the wrong reasons. But here's the ironic thing, based on the Keeping Up with the Kardashians clip featured on this page: Kim herself might soon get arrested… FOR MURDER! Okay, fine. We might be exaggerating a little bit here. However, a quasi family member does end up dead on Sunday night's brand new episode of this E! reality series. “Kim, the hamster hasn't been moving. So you might want to go look at it,” the star's assistant, Michael, tells his boss in this footage, referring to the animal that Khloe got for her niece, sort of against Kim's wishes. “It's dead? I don't have time for a dead hamster,” Kim responds before going to investigate. (We mean, no one really has time for a dead hamster, Kim. But this isn't about you.) As pure luck would have it, Kim is on the phone with Khloe when this tragedy occurred. After taking a look at the critter's cage, Kim delcares simply: “The hamster is dead.” When Khloe asks if young North is aware that her pet has passed, Kim grapples with how to tell her daughter the sad news. “She's at school. I don't know how I'm going to say, 'Oh, and by the way your hamster died,'” Kim says. This actually is a legitimate issue parents face all the time; what do you say when a cat or dog or fish or hamster passes away? It's a legitimately difficult topic and debate. In this case, we don't really get an answer. Later, via a confessional, the beauty mogul struggles with how to soften the blow for her five-year old daughter. “North is going to be really, really upset. It's just not fair … how do I go and explain this,” she wonders. Honestly, Kim has probably never seemed more relatable that she does in this clip. “This kind of sh-t I can't deal with. This is why you don't give someone a pet. Don't ever do this to me again, I literally hate you,” she tells Khloe before getting off the phone. Yikes, huh? Be sure to watch all the way until the end to see the quip Khloe gets in before the clip cuts off. She never fails to crack us up.

James Kennedy Lures Lala Kent Back Into Friendship, Immediately F–ks It Up!

If you watched the most recent season of Vanderpump Rules , you know that James Kennedy was pretty much left without a friend in the world. Sure, Tom Sandoval and Lisa might occasionally come to his defense, but if forced to choose between James and the rest of the group, they’d turn their backs on White Kanye faster than you can say “it’s not about the pasta.” Of course, it wasn’t always that way. James used to be close with Lala Kent, but that friendship went up in flames largely as a result of her relationship with Randall Emmett. Lala and Randall are engaged these days, and Kent understandably grew tired of her supposed friend relentlessly talking smack about her fiance. So Kent and Kennedy went their separate ways — but remarkably, he was recently able to convince her to give him a second chance. (Okay, it’s more like 475th chance at this point, but who’s counting?) “Friends and cast members alike were surprised and happy to hear that Lala and James patched things up,” an insider tells Hollywood Life. Unfortunately, it seems the reconciliation was ridiculously short-lived: “James invited Lala to work on music with him and she happily obliged, however, she was quickly offended when James took a dig, whether it was in good fun or not, at Randall,” says the source. As you may have heard, Randall was involved in a feud with 50 Cent  back in April. And by “feud” we mean 50 relentlessly roasted Randall on social media, and Randall cowered in fear and literally paid him to stop. Needless to say, it’s probably not Emmett’s favorite topic of conversation these days, and he and Lala were both quite pissed off to find that James had posted a meme referencing the incident. The meme has since been deleted — but it seems the damage was done: “When James and Lala made up, James told everyone it was his doing. Everyone is completely thrown off at how quickly that make-up lasted,” the insider continued. “Lala is likely done forever with their friendship ever again.” One person who’s not surprised that James once again proved himself to be a colossal douche is Katie Maloney: “Katie isn’t surprised whatsoever that it didn’t take James long to burn Lala again,” says the source. “Katie loves Lala but she couldn’t understand why she would try and make amends after everything he’s done to her and the rest of the group.” And it seems Maloney shares many viewers’ opinion that James maintains ties to a group he seems to despise simply because he enjoys the cushy life of a reality star: “Katie truly believes James is just a clout chaser and is doing anything he can to work his way into being friends with anyone just to stay on the show,” the insider adds. “Katie isn’t convinced that James really wants to work at SUR, she thinks he’s doing it to stay in Lisa’s good graces and to keep a storyline going. “She feels bad for Lala that she got hurt again by James and hopes this was the final straw for their friendship.” We hope so too. But considering Vanderpump films during the summer, you can expect him to cling to her coattails for a few more weeks. View Slideshow: Lala Kent: Best Instagram Pics of Vanderpump Rules’ Newest Star

Jenelle Evans: My Kids Will Always Love Me Most!

Jenelle Evans. What is there to even say at this point? The very troubled, now-former Teen Mom 2 star continues to be in the news for all the wrong reasons; from losing custody of her children to getting involved in a p ublic screaming match with her mother … … outside of the courthouse in which she's trying to regain custody. Her life is a giant mess these days. But the reality star has taken solace in something her four-year old son recently gave her, along with the comfort she says only a mother can take from the feelings of her children. Meaning what, exactly? Scroll down for the latest … 1. You Must Know the Story By Now, Right? In a nutshell: David Eason shot and murdered his family’s dog in cold blood several weeks ago. This prompted MTV to finally fire Evans from the Teen Mon franchise. 2. That Sucked for Her But it sucked even more when Child Protective Services (CPS) conducted a welfare check shortly afterward and determined that Eason and Evans were not maintaining a safe home for their kids. 3. As a Result? Authorities removed two-year old Ensley and four-year old Kaiser from the home, both of whom are Jenelle’s biological kids. They also removed Eason’s 11-year old daughter from a previous relationship, Maryssa. 4. When Will Jenelle Get Them Back? We can’t say for certain. But multiple hearings in court has simply resulted in a judge confirming that the home is not safe and ordering the children away for the foreseeable future. 5. Jenelle is PISSED At the legal system? Probably. But she’s mostly mad right this very moment at her mother, who has been caring for Ensley and who has been caring for Evans’ oldest son, Jace, for many years. 6. Why? What Happened? Mother and daughter got into a screaming match outside the North Carolina courthouse this week, with the former claiming the latter only gave Ensley a hug because cameras were around. View Slideshow
