Even though Omarosa told her flat out on Celebrity Big Brother that she absolutely did not give Trump any assistant azz while she was in the White House, or any other time for that matter, Glanville can’t seem to wrap her head around Trump voluntarily spending so much time with Omarosa if there’s no smashing involved. When E!’s Daily Pop hosts asked if she thought Omarosa was being truthful about not giving it up to Donny, Brandi revealed: “Nope! I don’t think so. Like how would they have that relationship for so long and he just keeps bringing her back…I don’t know.” Welp, she’s not judge and jury by a longshot. But what do YOU think is the truth? Getty/E!
(Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images) Coach Lamont Smith Resigns After Alleged Domestic Incident With Side Chick The University of San Diego men’s basketball coach Lamont Smith resigned last night , just 10 days after he was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence. The married father-of-two stepped away from his position after he was accused of assaulting his “lover” at a team hotel in Oakland on February 25, according to Daily Mai l. The woman was seen at a hospital for “non-life threatening” injuries and Smith was freed from jail after posting $115,000 bail. Yikes. Smith’s decision to leave came days after the university said on Tuesday that the 42 year-old would remained on administrative leave pending an internal probe. Sounds like the cheater was afraid to face his wife and then face his colleagues all at once…. Although the dirty dog was arrested and let his job go, the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office said Smith would not face charges ‘at this time’ in connection to the incident.
“The Forgiven” Starring Forest Whitaker & Eric Bana Hits Theaters March 9 Archbishop Desmond Tutu’s daughter said she hopes a new movie about her father’s crusade for reconciliation following Apartheid’s end in South Africa helps shine a light on the real heroes in our everyday lives. “The Forgiven” follows Archbishop Tutu in his work as chairman of then President Nelson Mandela’s “Truth and Reconciliation Commission” just after Apartheid was abolished in the 1990s. Tutu – played by an unrecognizable Forest Whitaker – teams up with a hardened, racist prisoner and former secret policeman (Eric Bana) to solve the murder of a young woman. “What I hope viewers take away from the film is the incredible courage of so many South Africans who are nameless,” Mpho Tutu told BOSSIP. “These were ordinary people who have had an extraordinary generosity of spirit and openness of heart.” She added: “It doesn’t take a a gold star or a recognizable face or a well known name in order to be a hero. Ordinary people perform extraordinary acts of heroism every day.” The movie is filled with lots of those kinds of moments, where South Africans were trying to reconcile with the past, and yet move forward without bitterness. “It’s people who have the generosity to forgive, the courage to hope and the faith to persevere who can make our world a better place, where it can be a place of hope an a better opportunity for tomorrow,” Mpho Tutu said. Mpho Tutu told us that although her family didn’t have any involvement in crafting the script, she said the director Roland Joffé asked Archbishop Tutu for his blessing before they began production. Archbishop Tutu, his daughter said, found the movie to be a “work of art.” “I know that the anti-apartheid struggle feels like it’s in the distant past, but the people who make the state of a new South Africa, are people who are part of our living memory,” she said. “They are our real legends and heroes of today.”
If you’re a fan of the Duggar family, then you’re probably already aware that Derick Dillard has been fired from Counting On as a result of his decision to berate and harass fellow TLC star Jazz Jennings. Back in November, Dillard directed an unprovoked social media tirade at Jennings, a transgender teen who also stars in a reality show on the network. In the months since, neither Derick nor his wife, Jill Duggar, has filmed any scenes for her family’s popular series, and it doesn’t look as though they’ll be returning to the spotlight anytime soon. These days, it seems that Derick is trying his best to make amends, but as usual, he’s just digging himself a deeper hole. The latest Derick dust-up has had to do with the former reality star’s views on the national gun control debate. Last week, Dillard attacked the survivors of the Parkland school shooting for behaving in a “ridiculous” fashion. Needless to say, his comments were not well-received. Yesterday, he tweeted a link to an article in which he was criticized for being critical of traumatized teens. “No, I criticized the media’s use of kids again…like @TLC uses Jazz,” Derick tweeted in his own defense. “My heart goes out to the victims, but all ideas should be heard, and subjected to criticism.” He probably would’ve been better off not bringing up Jazz up again, but ultimately it was a pretty tame comment by Derick standards. Unfortunately, when fans responded to the tweet, Derick chose to engage with them in offensive fashion: When one Twitter user accused Derick of bullying Jazz, Dillard responded: “Hi, please realize that I never said anything against him. “If you read that in a tabloid, I encourage you to be extremely skeptical of anything put out by any opinion or gossip publication.” Yes, while claiming that he can’t understand why people think he’s being unkind to Jazz, Derick once again misgendered the girl. Not surprisingly, fans weren’t having it: “If you are uncomfortable or against using the pronoun ‘her’ you could just use the name ‘Jazz’,” wrote one follower. “You don’t have to go out of your way with the ‘he’ and ‘him.’ It would be the kind thing to do. Just sayin.” “You are a hypocrite and a child abuser and a bully,” tweeted another. A third slammed Derick as an “ignorant piece of sh-t.” Dillard has yet to respond to the latest round of criticism against him. As for the Parkland issue, however, Dillard is sticking to his guns – literally. He recently tweeted a link to a post about a conspiracy theories and alleged anti-gun media biases with this description: “True; I think it’s pretty obvious. My wife has over 200,000 followers and still hasn’t been verified.” Well Der, if it’s any consolation, now that you’ve gotten her kicked off her show, Jill probably won’t have that many followers for long!
