Bill Cosby Pervs Out to Pics of Meghan Markle, Kris Jenner In Prison

With all the bad news being reported by the press on a minute-to-minute basis these days, it can be easy to lose sight of all the good things that are happening in our world. For example, climate scientists now believe our planet won’t become an uninhabitable hellscape until 2050, and Bill Cosby is still in prison ! Cosby is behind bars for the sexual assault of Andrea Constand . Of course, he’s been accused by more than 60 women, and he should be locked up for a very, very long time, but instead, he was sentenced to just 10 years behind bars. And since he’s old and rich and famous, he’ll probably only serve a fraction of that time. But on the plus side, the Cos is 81, so there’s still a good chance he’ll die in prison. That means he may never again get to do the things he does best — hock pudding pops, wear hideous sweaters, impart unsolicited advice to young people, and of course, creep on unsuspecting women in the entertainment industry. But while Cosby’s predator days may be behind him, he’s reportedly making the most of his time behind bars. “Mr. Cosby asked one of his inmate assistants to help him obtain photographs or art to bring life to his ‘dorm,’ ” a recently released inmate tells Radar Online. “Typically, inmates ask for weapons, electronics or drugs — so his request was quite easy.” Yes, it seems Cosby has buddied up to a fellow inmate named Bugs, who provides him with decor for his cell. And what sort of visual stimuli does Cosby prefer?  Why, photos of famous women, of course! “Bugs gave him magazine clippings of icons like Beyoncé, Meghan Markle and Kris Jenner,” the tipster claims. Yes, it seems Dr. Huxtable is a big fan of the Duchess of Sussex — but he wishes she were still just an actress on a basic cable legal drama. “He really likes Meghan, but he’s mad at her for marrying Harry,” says the source. “What a waste of a beautiful woman to go off and marry a rotten royal,” Cosby has reportedly said. “It’s a real shame.” We’re sure Harry is really broken up about that one. Between that and snubbing Donald Trump during his visit to the UK, the man is having a great week in terms of pissing of sexual predators. Speaking of the Trump-Cosby connection, can someone hurry up and invent a time machine so we can go back to the Eighties and ask random people to predict which one ends up in the White House and which one’s in jail? The answer would probably blow their minds even more than smartphones. View Slideshow: Bill Cosby: A Look at His Life Behind Bars

Jussie Smollett Won’t Be Returning To ‘Empire’ Per Lee Daniels

Source: Chicago Tribune / Getty Jussie Smollett has appeared to hit the end of the road for his time on the hit drama, Empire . After a report went out that the actor would possibly be returning to the series for its final season, Lee Daniels has shut down that plan via Twitter. Deadline reports : “Jussie will NOT be returning to Empire,” Daniels tweeted Tuesday afternoon following reports that the embattled actor’s character Jamal Lyon was being re-worked into scripts for the Fox series. A well-placed source told Deadline today that Smollett’s ongoing legal issues are partly to blame for him remaining on the sidelines. “There are still too many unknowns about what really occurred, why the charges were suddenly dropped and the effect it all has had on Empire for the network or the producers to feel Jussie can slip back into the show,” the individual said. Thus far, Smollett has kept a low profile since the shocking news that all charges were dropped. However, the actor’s ordeal is ongoing as the city is suing him for extending city resource s for the investigation into the alleged staged hate crime. @Variety @JoeOtterson This is not factual. Jussie will NOT be returning to Empire. -LD — lee daniels (@leedanielsent) June 4, 2019 — Photo: Getty

El Chapo Denied Outdoors Rec Time, Commissary Privileges

Source: OMAR TORRES / Getty Joaquín Archivaldo Guzmán Loera, better known to the world as El Chapo , won’t be seeing the sun anytime soon after a judge shot down an outdoors rec time quest. Further, Guzman won’t be given access to the general population commissary out of fear items purchases can be turned into weapons. TMZ reports : The former Mexican cartel kingpin recently filed a motion requesting at least 2 hours of outdoors recreation time per week while he’s held in custody at a federal prison in New York, plus access to the general pop commissary so he can buy goodies. Chapo was also looking to get access to some earplugs so he could sleep easy at night and get rid of ear pain he says he’s been experiencing in the joint. Well, a judge didn’t bite on any of it, and his reasoning is pretty damning. First, the court says Chapo’s request for outdoors time is a nonstarter (he’s currently being held under strict restrictions) because the U.S. government’s worried he’ll try to escape again. The outlet adds that El Chapo has been well-behaved while inside the joint, which is probably why he made the request but it’s not foreseeable in the near future. — Photo: Getty

Little People, Big World Finale: Did Anyone Buy the Farm?

And, with that, it’s over. Both the latest season of Little People, Big World and the one major debate that hung over the past several episodes of this TLC reality show. Would Amy and Matt Roloff sell their family farm? Would the latter convince the former that this was for the best? Or would the former successfully hold out and hold on to the property? On Tuesday’s concluding episode of Little People, Big World, Amy finally decided – after lengthy, frustrating and at times anger-filled negotiations with her ex-husband – that living on the farm was no longer “healthy” for her. She agreed to move on. “This has been a huge, huge decision, and it’s probably caused me a lot of stress and a lot of anxiety and a lot of sadness,” Amy confessed to the camera on Tuesday night ahead of her meeting with Matt, adding: “It was hard to get to this place, but I think it’s time.” Does she really, though? “I’ve been dreading making this decision,” the mother of four continued. “I wish it came a lot quicker, but it didn’t. And so I did take the time. It wasn’t easy for me, but I’m glad it’s here now.” Amy and Matt have lived on the farm in Oregon and run it as a business for three decades. Even after their divorce in 2016, they remained on the propery; residing just about 100 yards from each other and still working side by side. So of course this was a monumental decision for Amy. Of course she needed to take her time in making it. We really can’t believe fans gave her a hard time for thinking about the issue from all sides. Matt explained on the finale that he wanted Amy to still feel welcome on the farm — and he hoped she would be part of pumpkin season every year. However, he also agreed that Amy moving on would be best for their family as a whole. “I’m a little surprised Amy is choosing to sell her equity of the farm, but you know, it feels like it might be the right decision,” he told the camera. “I know it’s hard for her; it’s hard for both of us and she’s been raising her kids here for 30 years, but I do think it feels like it’s time to move on.” For his part, Matt referred to farm ownership as a “burden” earlier this season… and he also bought a home in Arizona with girlfriend Caryn Chandler last year. After all these years on the land, he’s expressed little hesitancy in doing something else with his life. “I don’t think any decision was really a good one. I think it’s the best one, not only for right now, but I think in the future for me,” Amy said of why she has finally sold, making it clear she isn’t exactly thrilled with the development. On the finale, she added of her decision: “This farm worked for me because we had two people making it happen. I can’t do it on my own. Everything for me has changed on the farm.” How did Zach Roloff feel about this conclusion? It didn’t come as much of a shock to him, not after the many weeks his mother spent contemplating what to do. Watch Little People, Big World Season 14 Episode 10 Online This is what he said once the decision to sell was finalized: “I think probably that’s the best choice. It will be harsh and quick, but then the road to recovery, I think will happen faster.” According to Radar Online, however, Oregon property records show both Matt and Amy’s names remain on the deed of the house. So we’re not entirely sure where things stand at the moment, months after the finale was filmed. As always, however, stay tuned to The Hollywood Gossip for the latest news, views and Roloff hot takes! View Slideshow: Little People, Big World: The Roloffs’ Shocking Scandals… Exposed! [Updated]

Jade Cline Talks Teen Mom 2 Casting, Difficult Past

Jenelle Evans is out. And Jade Cline is in. MTV has formally announced Cline as a new cast member on Teen Mom 2, doing so by having her sit and chat with a number of veteran network stars. How did she find out about this role? What sort of drama will she be stirring up? The new addition sat with veterans Catelynn, Tyler and Kailyn to discuss these questions and many more on the Teen Mom 2 reunion special that aired on June 3. During a unique segment, she actually chatted with these stars as part of Kailyn's Coffee Convos podcast, a portion of which was recorded by MTV and we've featured here. During the interview, Cline said she was kept in the dark for awhile in regard to her status on Teen Mom 2… … until her old producer from Young and Pregnant dropped the awesome bombshell right in her lap. “They said, ‘We love you, we love your story so much, we want you to be on ‘Teen Mom 2’ and I was like, I didn’t know what to say. I was like, ‘I feel so wanted and popular!’” Jade explained, adding: “The show has been on so long that I can’t believe they would want me on a show that’s been on for like 10 years with the same people.” One of those people, of course, is now a goner. Evans is off fighting for custody of her kids, not talking about storylines for next season. Cline, meanwhile, ought to bring a whole lot to the table: Her father committed suicide when she was very young. Her mom has been arrested for drug use and possession. Cline was removed by Child Protection Services as a teenager and has been living on her own since the age of 16. “I’ve been out of my parents’ house since I was 16 years old,” she says in this footage. “I’ve been on my own for six or seven years, so I feel like I didn’t vibe with anyone or talk with [the Young and Pregnant cast members] as much just because I was just somewhere else mentally.” As we said, Jade's biological father is dead — and her stepfather is basically dead to her . “Both of my parents were just incarcerated this last week,” she shared with Kailyn and her co-host Lindsie Chrisley. “They've been strung out for so long. They're like binge addicts.” You can read more about Cline's many secrets and struggles here: And you can watch her discuss all things Teen Mom 2 related, included her upcoming role on the series, in this video.

Lisa Vanderpump: Not Returning to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills!

It seems the time has come for Lisa Vanderpump to finally pass down her crown.  Okay please, that will never happen. But it is time for her to hang up her housewife hat and bid farewell to her Bravo frenemies.  Believe it or not,  after months of Lisa dancing around the topic , we finally have answers. LVP is officially done with The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. “I think they’ve made it pretty impossible for me to go back frankly,” she told Daily Mail on Tuesday, June 4 when asked about her return on next season. “So…no.” “Lisa will not be returning to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills ,” a close source to Lisa confirmed to Radar Online .  “She’s moving on to bigger and better things.” Vanderpump, an original cast member, made headlines last November when word came out that she would probably be exiting the reality show after the ninth season.  “Lisa will appear in the majority of episodes this season,” a production source told E! News in November 2018.  “She has not been filming at every event, but fans can expect to see her throughout.” “The show will return to Bravo in early 2019.” And that it did, as we all know by now!  After the show’s premiere, we were served with the puppygate drama between Lisa, Teddi Mellencamp, Dorit Kemsley, and Kyle Richards. The 76-year-old (!!!) even took a lie detector test to back up her noble character — it was a drama filled season, to say the least. “I just felt very emotional, very raw… I thought I’ve been through this on season four, I’ve been through this on season six,” Lisa shared to Andy Cohen about not filming in larger groups after the fight.  “When you go through a really kind of desperate time yourself, the people that are there next to you, holding your hand and supporting you, I think will forever be etched in your mind as the people that got you through something.” “I think the people that maybe aren’t there, you suddenly realize that you could possibly do without,” she shared.  “It depends. I can’t say,”  Lisa said on the  RHOBH after show when asked about her return months back.  She also said she wasn’t watching the season because “it’s not fun being the recipient of everyone ganging up on you.” We can only imagine! So we totally understand her final and recent decision to not rejoin the cast.  And while the British socialite isn’t looking to move forward with the series, she also isn’t interested in revisiting the past.  Lisa shared that she does not plan on attending the upcoming season 9 reunion of the hit Bravo reality show.  “The objective of the reunion is to reunite, right?” she asks.  “And I have no inclination to reunite with the women who’ve been harassing me for 10 months now.” “So in all probability, no,” she told the DailyMail.  Though she initially considered filming the reunion, at the end of the day, “she realized she is done with that part of her life,” the source explained. But forget the drama (if you can) , Lisa is focusing on something WAY more important — The Trevor Project. In an exclusive statement to Radar , Lisa said, “As we kick off National GayPride Month I’m so honored to once again lend my voice to The TREVOR PROJECT.” “They have been the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to LGBTQ youth under 25 since 1998.” “Today, nearly one out of four pre- and early teen suicides were among LGBTQ youth,” she wrote to raise awareness.  “We ALL must change this narrative and provide the [emotional] support, understanding and positive reinforcement that our youth warrant and deserve.”  So yeah, Lisa Vanderpump still reigns. And even though she is taking a step back from her housewife performance, she will still be in the spotlight thanks to her Vanderpump Dog Foundation and her very own Vanderpump Rules.  View Slideshow: 14 Best Lisa Vanderpump Quotes… Ever!

Troy Dean Shafer: Cause of Death Tragically Confirmed

We have an update on the tragic death of Troy Dean Shafer. As previously reported, the Nashville Flipped star passed away in late April, taking family members and loved ones by complete shock when he died in his sleep. Shafer was only 38 years old. The cause of death was unknown at the time, with Shafer’s brother telling TMZ that there were no warning signs; nor had his sibling been recently diagnosed with any kind of medical condition or health concern. We now have some more information, however. According to the Erie County Coroner’s Office, the DIY Network house flipper died “due to combined drug toxicity.” The specific drugs in his system were not made public. Shafer, who hosted the program Nashville Flipped beginning in 2016, died on April 28 and was later laid to rest in a private ceremony. A representative for DIY Network released the following statement at the time: The DIY Network family is sorry to hear about the passing of Troy Dean Shafer, a dedicated, driven entrepreneur and restoration expert who was admired by everyone who worked on the series Nashville Flipped. We continue to extend our deepest condolences to Troy’s family and friends during this difficult time. Shafer graduated from Penn State University and had moved from his hometown of Erie, Pennsylvania to Nashville a decade ago to actually pursue dreams of becoming a country music star, according to a DIY Network biography. However, his background in building and his talent for restoring homes led him to start a business flipping houses. What an unusual story, right? After flipping a $31,000 East Nashville house with his dad, a homebuilder, Shafter proceeded to launch his own local renovation business, Nashville Flipped. A random meeting with “American Pickers” co-host Mike Wolfe in a Nashville Wal-Mart led to Shafer taking the leap to television, he told The Tennessean ahead of his first Nashville Flipped installment. Nashville Flipped tracked the lives of Troy, his wife Becky and his team of construction managers as they renovated run-down properties and also created custom designs for the owners of historic Tennessee residences. Troy also starred in a pair of pilot episodes for a show titled Restoring Nashville on DIY, which aired in October 2018. Nashville Flipped, meanwhile, premiered in 2016 and had completed two seasons at the time of Shafer’s passing.  We continue to mourn his loss and send our condolences to his loved ones. May he rest in peace. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2019: In Memoriam

Ryan Seacrest to Kourtney Kardashian: You Can’t Quit KUWTK! Please!!

All good things must come to an end.  And as for Kourtney Kardashian, well she seems to be quite ready for it.  Keeping Up with the Kardashians has been airing for over 10 years on E! — giving us an up-close look at Hollywood’s most famous family dynasty — but now, Kourt is speaking out about how tired of the spotlight she really is.  In the beginning, the sisters delivered.  They had spin-off shows, family vacations worth an entire year of drama , and yeah — that one store.  But after the demise of Dash, a few divorces, and many (many!) babies later, some viewers are beginning to argue that the sister act may have run its course.  Especially when it comes to Kourtney — who is thought to be  the least enthusiastic of the group .  During the iHeartRadio’s 102.7 KIIS-FM Wango Tango concert, KUWTK executive producer Ryan Seacrest was told that this Kardashian, in particular, had said that she would be happy to say goodbye to the series!  To which he replied, “She would?!”  The Live with   Kelly and Ryan  co-host explained that while he understands the mom of three may need a break from the televised series, he would need her to eventually return .  “Well, if the cameras go away, as long as they come back, Kourtney,” he said.  “You know, they can go away for a little bit, but bring ’em back so we can do another season or two.” He means twenty, right?!  “Honestly I don’t know how they do it,” he admitted.  We don’t know how they do it either, but they just do and we’re not ready for this. Not at all!  “They lived for over a decade with cameras following [them], I could not do it, no matter what they were paying [me],” Seacrest said.  “I could not do it, so I give them a lot of credit for having those cameras in their lives at all time.” “And I love you, Kourtney. Love her,” he says.  The question was posed to Seacrest after Kourtney said she would be “very happy” if the cameras were to switch off during an interview with Paper magazine.  “I always say I want to move away someday and just be away from it all,” Kourtney said.  “Sail away. No one will ever see me again. I keep throwing up different places, but then I’ll go and visit and I’ll be like, ‘Nope, this isn’t it, but glad I came.” “We’ve just been to Finland. And I was like, ‘Check, it’s great for me to visit, but I’m not going to move there,” she contested.  “Maybe Norway. Switzerland? I’ve got a lot of ideas.” We’ve got an idea — don’t leave!  The Kardashians rose to fame and became instant celebrities after KUWTK premiered back in 2007, and every sister has since created their own lucrative business venture.  The 40-year-olds most recent project is Poosh , a new website which is half blog/half shop for natural and organic products.  “I feel like I’m constantly asked, ‘How do you do this? What’s the salad you guys are eating on your show?'” she said.  “It’s nice to share it with people and have the space to do so.” She does have some very helpful suggestions on the site, I must say.  View Slideshow: Kourtney Kardashian Accused of Promoting Incest with Creepy New Photo

Paul Staehle and Karine: 90 Day Fiance Couple Fight on Instagram Live

Paul Staehle and Karine Staehle are the only familiar couple on this first season of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way . Unfortunately, some of their antics in real time — as in, over the past few days — have been a little too familiar for the comfort of fans. The two had a vocal fight on Instagram Live, where Karine accused Paul of “going crazy.” Where was their baby during this? On Sunday, Karine Staehle went on Instagram Live to broadcast a fight. According to witnesses who caught the video — only a fragment of which was recorded — there was a lot of “fighting and screaming.” As 90 Day Fiance blogger John Yates notes on Instagram: “Usually I don’t fall for Paul’s attention seeing drama, but she tells me it was pretty intense.”: “Karine went live on her account without Paul’s knowledge,” Yates describes. “Where he was saying that she was drinking alcohol and packing her things.” There was a dispute over the packing of bags and, eventually, Karine began speaking in Portuguese. Fans responding to the Instagram Live were, as always, begging Karine to leave Paul. “She was crying and visibly shaking while talking to him while his head was poked through the door,” John Yates describes. “There was a loud sound and then the live ended,” he notes. “Not before Paul reprimanded Karine for breaking NDA.” At some points during the video, Paul appeared to be speaking, in English, to someone outside of the room. A small mercy is that their baby, Pierre, was nowhere in sight — though that just raised more questions. The good news is that some of the people who caught the Instagram Live spoke Portuguese. As one fan notes, apparently Karine said that she returned from a sleepover at her parents' home, only for Paul to allegedly go crazy. It looks like they're both accusing each other of having made a mess out of the packed up luggage. Baby Pierre was said to be still at her parents' house. John Yates notes that he reached out to Paul, who said that “things weren’t good and that Karine is with her parents.” We have a strong suspicion that Paul and Karine may have been filming for 90 Day Fiance . Yes, they are currently on 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way , though this latest episode may explain why they were packing to go to the US. That would explain why Paul was speaking in English to people in the other room, and why he mentioned Instagram Live and the NDA. It's June — last year, during this month, original recipe 90 Day Fiance was filming. Maybe Paul's family finally decided to help him sponsor Karine to come to the US? So, as you may recall, Paul's original plan was to go to Brazil, be with his much younger bride, and bring her back to the US to live. That didn't work out, in part because Paul didn't have the cash to cover the K-1 visa process for Karine. Instead, the new plan was for him to remain in Brazil and just live with Karine and their baby, Pierre, together. Except that, on the latest episode, we found that his bid for residency was denied — on the grounds of “terrorism.” Paul was very upset over the unexpected denial and the unexplained charge. We think that we can explain that. See, Paul had a criminal history long before he ever came to Brazil. Specifically, he committed arson back in 2007. In fact, when last we checked, he's still on “shock probation” and will be until April 2020. Then, in 2013, Paul was arrested for violating a protective order — which is a huge red flag. The order may have been issued over domestic violence concerns. Paul's long history of throwing up red flags left and right has led many 90 Day Fiance fans to hope that Karine takes baby Pierre and runs. Maybe this huge fight that the two had in public mark the end of their relationship. But … we won't hold our breath.

The rest is here:

Amber Portwood: Gary Shirley Is My Best Friend!

We’re just days away from a new season of Teen Mom OG , and just like in years past, the entire cast is making the media rounds in hopes of drumming up interest in the long-running reality show. This time around, most of the focus has been on the addition of Mackenzie McKee to the cast , but Amber Portwood is still fixating on her favorite topic of discussion — herself. Amber joined the rest of the cast in pleading with MTV not to replace Bristol Palin , but either she’s gotten over the disappointment of being forced to welcome another newcomer, or she finds the topic so triggering that she prefers to avoid it entirely. Whatever the case, in Amber’s latest interview, she insisted that her life is more drama free than ever before. That’s great for Amber, obviously — but potentially bad for ratings. “I don’t want to sound like I’m lying, but hell, everything is so positive right now,” the mother of two told Us Weekly. Amber’s ex, Gary Shirley, had primary custody of their daughter, Leah, but despite the unusual arrangement, Portwood says she and Gary are the best of friends these days: “We’re doing really good. You know, it took years. It took a long time. It took growth on both parties,” Portwood said, adding that her kids refer to Shirley as Uncle Gary. “We really kind of met in the middle and became a whole family now.” Amber says not only are she and Gary are getting, their respective significant others are also friendly, too: “It was good to feel like you’re able to mesh that life together because it’s hard when you have a new partner,” she said. “Everybody gets along so it’s great.” As for her future with Andrew Glennon, Portwood says she could imagine having more kids with the former TV producer: “If that happened, I wouldn’t be mad,” Portwood told Us.  “[Andrew’s] my soulmate and he’s a beautiful person [and] …. I don’t see myself with anybody else. So, like, I definitely might have another kid with him.” As for the prospect of marriage … well, that’s a trickier question: “It’s scary, though, because if he asked me to marry him, I would say yes … and I’d be planning a wedding,” she said. “It’s scary to me because I’ve been through a lot of stuff with men, commitment-wise, but he’s that guy that you don’t want to lose out on. Honestly.” We understand where you’re coming from, Amber — but if it makes the quandary any simpler, you’re already tied to dude for life, regardless of whether or not you get hitched.
