Did Bill Burr go too far during an appearance on Conan Thursday night? The comedian stopped by the talk show and addressed his friend Caitlyn Jenner, wondering why her transition from male to female has been such a big deal. “There’s like baby seals washing up on the beach because there’s no fish left and they’re talking to this lady, you know?” Burr said of the media. “Like, ‘So Bruce, can your Olympic back handle a D-cup or are you going to go with like something a little more perky?’ I’m not saying that in any bad way, I’m just saying.” Jenner, of course, has sent some very important message to the transgender community about acceptance and self-confidence, most notably in his widely-praised ESPYs speech . And many critics on Twitter are criticizing Burr for making light of issues that really do affect transgender individuals. Burr also railed against that horrible show my wife watched where Jenner “just walks around in the background,” a pretty great reference to Keeping up With The Kardashians .
In the five years since LaLa and Carmelo Anthony got married , they’ve developed a reputation as the rare celebrity couple that’s not constantly plagued by divorce rumors. Unfortunately, that all changed this week when multiple sources reported that LaLa has recently been getting awfully friendly with a rapper named Maino. The most reliable of these sources is none other than Maino’s baby mama, who called LaLa out in brutal fashion on Instagram yesterday: “Does your husband know that your hoe ass has been f–king my daughter’s father?” anIG user with the handle iluvpatricele wrote on LaLa’s page. “You slept over his house the other night after the movies. A man that is with me and his family every damn night. How does it feel to be the slut responsible for his daughter never waking up to her father ever again! “You can keep the clown cause we don’t want the bum n—a no more. All yours hoe.” Like we said, harsh words. But is LaLa really cheating on Melo with Maino? There’s very little in the way of hard evidence, but it’s worth noting that this is not the first time that LaLa has been accused of infidelity. In 2013, Anthony was suspended by the NBA after physically Kevin Garnett for allegedly taunting him about LaLa’s cheating. The altercation stands out in the minds of many basketball fans, as it reportedly started with Garnett’s claim that LaLa “tastes like Honey Nut Cheerios.” So is LaLa really part of some other dude’s complete breakfast or is she saving all her honey for Melo? We get the feeling the truth will come out soon enough. View Slideshow: 25 Celebrities Who Are Known Cheaters
Bobbi Kristina Brown’s estate has amended its lawsuit against Nick Gordon, accusing her boyfriend and two friends of being responsible for her demise. New accusations claim that Bobbi Kristina’s death was no accident and also involved two of Krissie’s friends, Max Lomas and Danyela Bradley. She was found face down in a bathtub of cold water at her home in January; Bobbi Kristina died in July, having never recovered from her coma. It was later revealed that the drowning caused irreversible brain damage, and Nick’s actions leading up to the tragedy have been suspicious. For many, his story doesn’t add up. The daughter of Whitney Houston was missing teeth and had injuries and bruising inconsistent with damage typically done performing CPR. Nick swears he didn’t hurt her , pointing to a car crash she was in the same week as the near-drowning as the explanation of the injuries on her. Gordon is very bad news, though, and even the rosiest spin on his actions that day likely involve him drinking and doing drugs with Bobbi Kristina. According to her estate’s executor, Gordon reeked of alcohol as local police and paramedics arrived to try and save Bobbi on that fateful day. Moreover, it is alleged that he not only gave her a “toxic cocktail,” but was cheating on Bobbi with her friend while she drowned in the tub. View Slideshow: Bobbi Kristina Brown: Through Good Times and Bad The suit claims that Max Lomas and another white female guest, Danyela Bradley, were at the townhouse during Bobbi’s drowning incident. The guest was laying on the bed as Bobbi Kristina and Nick fought after Gordon came back from an all-night cocaine and alcohol-fueled bender. After the altercation, Gordon came out of the bathroom, placed his head on the ankle of a “female guest” who is believed to be Danyela and said: “Now I want a pretty little white girl like you.” Pretty creepy, and worse yet, after the drowning, he was seen pushing Danyela out of the same facility where Bobbi Kristina was receiving treatment. Nick was not allowed to see Bobbi, having been banned by the Houston and Brown families. He showed up at least once with Danyela, though. Another mutual friend of Nick and Bobbi’s, Mason Whitaker, posted a Facebook rant claiming Bobbi was given a “bad batch” of heroin. Then, Bobbi shot up and the drowning ensued. Mason further claims that a panicked Nick, Danyela, and Max didn’t call the police for nearly 20 minutes after discovering her body that morning. Perhaps the most astonishing part of that allegation is that Bobbi’s aunt, Pat Houston , is paying Lomas and Bradley to pin the death on Nick . There’s a lot to process in these new claims, and a whole lot more questions that will remain unanswered, at least for now. Stay tuned … View Slideshow: 17 Celebrities Who May Have Killed People
Friday’s Marriage Boot Camp Season 3 Episode 11, entitled “Web of Lies,” found a polygraph test playing a major role – and causing major tension. Who was involved and what did we find out!? Watch Marriage Boot Camp Season 3 Episode 11 Online Picking up where last week left off, Marriage Boot Camp Season 3 Episode 11 saw the couples – and their futures – coming down to the wire. For The Situation and Lauren Pesce, the lie detector test shed some interesting, and we must say, unexpected light on their relationship. Sitch, the former Jersey Shore man whore, was asked if he trusted his girlfriend “100 percent.” He said, “yes,” but the test said otherwise. Worse yet, Lauren was asked if she’d had physical, sexual contact with someone other than the reality star since they’d been together. Polygraph says? Deceptive answer! “I felt like I was getting punched in the face,” Lauren said, refuting the results. “I’ve been 100 percent truthful and honest about everything.” Mike read the results a bit differently. “If mine said I had problems with trust and hers said that she was deceptive then I guess it’s valid,” he said, as intelligently as he could. Mike’s addiction issues, legal woes and attention seeking ways have been the focal point of these two since they arrived in the house. In that context, it was interesting to see the script flipped and Lauren taking some heat as well. Will these two make it? Will the others? Follow the above links to watch Marriage Boot Camp online and see for yourself, but we will give away one spoiler right here and now: Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett have already parlayed their drama into another season of reality TV ( Kendra on Top Season 4).

If you haven’t watched the first seven episodes of True Detective Season 2 in preparation for tonight’s 90-minute finale, consider this your spoiler alert. If you have been keeping up all along, then you know such a warning isn’t really necessary, as few viewers have any idea what the hell is going on, and the solution to the central mystery doesn’t matter much, anyway. (In fact, the question of who killed Ben Caspere may have already been answered.) Even so, we’re gonna do our best to briefly explain what’s happened thus far, and attempt to predict the ending of this wildly uneven installment in Nic Pizzolatto’s anthological mini-series. Here’s hoping it’s a bit more satisfying than last season’s Yellow King let-down. Let’s start with the basics: Ben Caspere was the city manager of Vinci, CA, before he “had his ticket punched” (in the pulpy parlance of the show) in the most brutal fashion imaginable. (We don’t know what’s worse, having your eyes gouged out or your genitals lopped off. Actually, yes we do.) Our detectives are interested in solving the case for obvious reasons, and gangster/aspiring legitimate business man Frank Seymon (Vince Vaughn) is invested both emotionally and financially: Caspere was holding a large chunk of his cash for a land development deal, and Frank thinks (correctly, it seems) that whoever offed the sketchy politico had an eye on taking down the Seymon business interests. Are you with us so far? Good, because the plot gets far more complex from there: To make a long story as short as possible, Caspere was some sort of weird sexual deviant who helped operate an underground prostitution ring. In 1992, he played a role in the theft of some blue diamonds that were stolen during the LA riots. The heist left the owners of the store dead, and their two children, Laura and Leonard, orphaned. After his death, the diamonds were found in Caspere’s safe deposit box, and along with a hard drive that was apparently stolen after the Ray Velcoro was shot in episode 2, they serve as key pieces of evidence – not only for determining who killed Caspere, but also in the effort to shed some light on the shady cabal that runs Vinci. Obviously, we’re leaving a lot out (including a couple of important deaths: Pour one out for Woodrugh and the mysterious Stan.), but basically, connecting the diamonds to the Rich Dude Sex Ring and figuring out who killed Caspere are the central goals of our surviving detectives, both of whom are now fugitives living on the lam. (Like we said, it’s a long, twisty tale.) So who’s the ticket puncher at the heart of this messy mystery? At this point, the prime suspect seems to be Laura – one of the jewelry store orphans who now goes by Erica and seems to have served as Caspere’s secretary (and possible sex slave) during the height of his corruption. Of course, Velcoro and Bezzerides have already arrived at that conclusion, and since the press release for the finale promises that Caspere’s killer will be definitively identified, we doubt Pizzolatto and company would hand us the answer in the penultimate episode. So on that note, we guess it’s a safe bet that Laura won’t turn out to be the perp. As for the theory that Leonard shot Velcoro ? Well, who knows! Say what you will about True Detective, it ain’t predictable. A tangled web of nonsense, maybe, but predictable? Never! That said, we have some theories inspired not so much by the show’s many red herrings as by its frequent (and frequently heavy-handed) thematic clues: For starters, considering how often issues of sex and procreation cropped up this season, we wouldn’t be surprised if someone gets knocked up in the finale. Will the suggestively named Seymon finally get his wife pregnant? Maybe Bezzerides will birth a biological Velcoro – after Ray croaks in heroic fashion, of course. (A dream version of his father did predict the boozy PD’s death in episode three.) Perhaps the gun-wielding birdman that shot Velcoro will come back to finish him off after he, erm….fertilizes Ani’s egg. Okay, we’re getting a little carried away with ourselves. After all, if last season taught us anything, it’s that guessing what will happen next on True Detective is like trying to understand Colin Farrell’s facial hair: We remain intrigued largely because the decision making process behind it is a total mystery. Tune in tonight to see how it all wraps up, and, as always, if you need to catch up, you can watch True Detective online at TV Fanatic.
