Courtney Stodden: My Mom Tried to Steal My Husband!

The Lifetime celeb-reality series The Mother/Daughter Experiment doesn't premiere until tonight, but it's already provided us with plenty of discussion material. A preview clip released last week featured the return of Kim Richards , who's fresh from a year of multiple arrests, a stint in rehab and embarrassing, drunken toast at her own daughter's wedding. Needless to say, seeing the Richards gals share a roof for the first time in several years should be interesting. But as dysfunctional as that relationship might get, we're guessing it won't hold a candle to the wildly to the intergenerational tension between Courtney Stodden and her wildly effed-up stage mom, Krista Keller. Right off the bat, Courtney confirms what we've suspected for years: that her mother pushed her into the spotlight (and possibly into the arms of her decades-older acting-coach-turned-husband) in order to fulfill her own desire for public adulation. “She's crazy for fame,” Stodden says of Krista. “She wants it, and she will stop at nothing to get it.” But the wild accusations don't stop there. No, just moments later, Courtney accuses her mother of trying to seduce Doug Hutchison, the 55-year-old actor who married Courtney in 2011 when she was just 16. “She began trying to steal my husband away from me,” Stodden says. “She took his hand and said, 'I don't know what to do, but I'm in love with you'.” Hilariously, Krista “quit” her job as her daughter's manager last year after publicly declaring that she was disgusted by Courtney's sex tape . Several outlets reported that Krista was actually fired, and now it looks like we may have a good as to why!

Lena Dunham Slams Magazine For Photoshop; Publishers Hit Back

After a middling (at best) third season, Girls is off to a strong start in its fourth go-round, and even more impressively, the show’s co-creator and star, Lena Dunham, has kept things mostly controversy-free throughout the pre-season promotional blitz. Unfortunately, it looks like as of today, Lena will have to re-set the “days since last public feud with a major publication” sign that undoubtedly hangs beneath an Edison light bulb in her Brooklyn office that we’re gonna assume was converted from a meat packing plant, or some other such hipster cliche.  The 29-year-old’s latest tiff stems from the above cover of the Spanish-language pop culture magazine El Pais Tentaciones . Dunham posted a photo of the cover on Instagram, along with the following caption: “This is NOT what my body has ever looked like or will ever look like – the magazine has done more than the average photoshop…If you’re into what I do, why not be honest with your readers?” Surprisingly, the staff at Tentaciones immediately shot back with a statement in which they not only deny any Photoshop wrongdoing, but also claim that a copy of the original photo was sent to Lena’s team, who approved it for publication. Even if Lena is just stirring up controversy or simply mistaken, it’s obviously not as bad as the time she compared online criticism to domestic abuse , and it’s certainly not as bad as when she wrote about inappropriately touching her sister in her memoir. Hell, it’s not even as bad as the time she played Homer’s mistress  on an episode of The Simpsons  (arguably her most underrated scandal), but if someone on her staff really did sign off on the photo, she may have pointed a finger in the wrong direction.

Bella Thorne Rocks Leather Pants in Latest Butt Selfie

There are many reasons to follow Bella Thorne on Instagram , but number one on the list may be her mastery of the belfie. No, that’s not a term for a Bella-selfie – it’s what the young folk call it when you post a picture of your own butt. It’s an art form that was made famous by the Kardashians, but as you can see, it’s been perfected by Bella. We probably don’t need to tell you that that’s a photo of Bella sporting some leather pants. In fact, you’ve probably stopped reading this, and we really don’t blame you. But for those of you who are interested in the history and motivation behind Bella’s belfies (That’s a combination of “butt” and “selfie,” by the way. “Bulfie” just doesn’t have a very good ring to it.), please join us in an intellectual exploration of Instagram’s most famous ass. Bella turned 18 last year, and like Kylie Jenner before her, she quickly began posting racier pics to her page. For obvious reasons, the strategy had paid off, and Bella recently reached the 10 million followers milestone. Also for pretty obvious reasons, Bella is fond of shots in which she’s facing away from the camera. Sometimes, she offers a reason for the day’s belfie, such as last week’s ” Transformation Tuesday .” Other times, she just puts on a bikini and takes a photo of her butt . In both cases, we’re sure she receives very few complaints. We hope you’ve learned something today, and we hope you’ll join us for the next installment in our Bella Belfies series. Come for the ass, stay for the education! View Slideshow: 28 Hottest Bella Thorne Photos EVER!

Fight The Power: Public Enemy Not Feeling The Academy’s Use Of Their Protest Song At The Oscar

Anyone else digging the #FightThePower jam playing during the #Oscars credits? pic.twitter.com/rpUFTt72UV — SheKnows (@SheKnows) February 29, 2016 Public Enemy Sounds Off On The Use Of “Fight The Power” At The Oscars According to TMZ , Public Enemy isn’t too keen on The Academy using their legendary protest song “Fight The Power” as Chris Rock’s intro music . Group member Professor Griff tells us he thinks the Academy was just paying lip service to black protesters and will go right back to business as usual. Griff says Public Enemy is all about change — radical change — and the Academy’s efforts fly in the face of that. He adds, “The show can’t claim the blackness of Public Enemy’s message.” Chuck D also weighed in with a series of tweets, but he doesn’t seem as upset about it as Griff #EverybodyDoesntHateChris pic.twitter.com/gKTyuoABIM — Chuck D (@MrChuckD) February 29, 2016 He did add however… The song FightThe Power is beyond me & the crew.The point of the song is a call to making change eventually not just applauding the thought — Chuck D (@MrChuckD) February 29, 2016 I dont wanna hear about Oscars being white. Oscar been white. We have need black communities to support our ARTS as much as we do sports IMO — Chuck D (@MrChuckD) February 29, 2016 We protested the grammies in 1989 because they HAD zero catagory for the genre. A 10 yr music at the time. It was for the entire artform-duh — Chuck D (@MrChuckD) February 29, 2016 Art speaking. Fight The Power. Make change.Demand respect. Do your own awards RIGHT & give indie artists & actors a chance to make a LIVING — Chuck D (@MrChuckD) February 29, 2016 People spend more time talkin about StacyDash while NOT even knowing who JulieDash IS when they can look her up in their attached phones-smh — Chuck D (@MrChuckD) February 29, 2016 Sadly, Public Enemy doesn’t even own the rights to license their song, so there’s nothing they can really do about it anyway.

Chrissy Teigen Throws MAJOR Shade at Stacey Dash’s Oscar Appearance

If you watched the 2016 Academy Awards last then you the night’s most memorable moment was not Spotlight’ s mild upset win for Best Picture, or even Leonardo DiCaprio finally taking home the gold for his work in The Revenant . No, the moment that really that got the attention of the (surprisingly small) TV audience watching at home was a random, unexplained, and completely baffling cameo from actress-turned-conservative-commentator Stacey Dash: Stacey Dash Appears in Most Awkward Oscars Moment EVER As far as we can tell, Dash’s appearance was meant to be funny . This morning, the 50-year-old Fox New pundit wrote a blog post in which she purported to explain why she was at the Oscars, but really just rambled on about the difference between “free-thinking blacks” and “cookie-cutter blacks.” Needless to say, we’re still pretty confused. Thankfully, we have Chrissy Teigen’s amazing facial expression to help sum up our feelings about the whole awkward situation: This isn’t the first time that Chrissy’s grimace has given us awards show gold, but this time, she accomplished the remarkable feat of summarizing an entire nation’s embarrassment with one epic cringe. When some Twitter followers mistakenly thought that Chrissy was reacting to Sarah Silverman’s jokes about James Bond’s dong, Mrs. Teigen-Legend quickly cleared things up: “I was making the face from the Stacey Dash moment ahhhhhhh not Sarah!” Chrissy tweeted. “No I am not good at poker.” Thankfully, she is good at making us laugh with a simple contortion of her facial features.

Kylie Jenner vs. Kylie Minogue: Unexpected Feud Alert!

You might think that aside from their first names, 18-year-old Instagram queen Kylie Jenner and 47-year-old Australian pop star Kylie Minogue have very little in common. And you would be right. However, it looks like their shared monikers might soon be enough to land the moguls in court. As you probably know, Kylie has been marketing everything from ” lip kits ” to waist trainers to hair extensions online. With an audience of 50 million Instagram followers , many of whom would wear burlap sacks to school if Kylie declared it the in look for spring, it’s not hard to see why everything she touches turns to gold.  Now, however, it looks rapidly-growing multi-media empire has encountered its first speed bump. According to several sources, Kylie recently filed paperwork to trademark her first name so that she can go the mononym route for marketing purposes, a la Cher or Madonna. Unfortunately for Ms. Jenner, there’s another famous Kylie, who’s not willing to take a back seat to the teenage sensation. Kylie Minogue – who just got engaged to Joshua Sasse last week – has filed a legal opposition to KJ’s trademark attempt, and yesterday, the singer even threw some shade on social media, tweeting: “Hello….. My name is KYLIE #lightyears.” The tweet is an allusion to Minogue’s 2000 single “Light Years,” but it may also refer to the fact that the elder Kylie has been in the business for about 3 decades longer than Jenner. It’s not every day that a member of the Kardashian clan gets a lesson in humility, so we’re definitely Team Minogue on this one. View Slideshow: 69 Wildly Inappropriate Photos of Kylie Jenner

Hi Haters: Indiana High School Chants “Build The Wall!” And Holds Donald Trump Signs Toward Rival Latino School

Racist Indiana High School Taunts Latino High School With “Build The Wall” Chant Donald Trump has inspired a whole new nation of azzholes to mock and ridicule latin and hispanic people according to NYDailyNew Students at an Indiana high school held an oversized Donald Trump cutout and chanted “build the wall” during a basketball game against a rival school with many Latino students and players — outraging fans and drawing national attention on social media. The demonstrations occurred during a Friday game at Andrean High School in Merrillville against Bishop Noll Institute in Hammond. Students often wear costumes and shout chants during the games. A group of Andrean students wore patriotic clothing, including flag bandanas and Captain America T-shirts. One student brought a cutout showing Trump’s face. “Build the wall, build the wall,” the students chanted, according to the Times of Northwest Indiana — highlighting the presidential candidate’s pledge to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. The latino rivals had a great response though… “We’re bilingual,” the rival fans responded. Bet those white folks wouldn’t have the huevos to try that s#!t with a black school. Image via Facebook

Black Don’t Crack: America’s Oldest-Living “Leap Baby” Born In 1916 Celebrates Her 25th Birthday

Black Woman Is The Oldest-Living Leap Baby Daisy Belle Ward was born on February 29, 191 6 but turns 25 today. According to CBS News , the oldest-living “leap baby” is excited to celebrate her big day 100 years later. Daisy Belle Ward appeared in her Sunday finest for her birthday party this past weekend, reports CBS News contributor Jamie Wax. She was born on Feb. 29, 1916, making her America’s oldest-living “leap baby.” The bash, complete with an 80-piece marching band, was a celebration of her 100 years — or, according to the calendar, her 25th birthday. Ward seemed to embrace the latter. But why does Ward’s birthday only come around once every four years? We decided it might be best to consult an expert, starting with theoretical physicist Michio Kaku. “Mother Nature has a sense of humor. She did not make a simple calendar so that when you go around the sun, it’s 365 days. That’s what we learned in school, right? Oh no,” Kaku explained. “Mother Nature made it so that every 365 days plus 5 hours, 49 minutes and a few odd seconds. That means that every year, we have to compensate for one quarter of a day. So after four years, we have to add one more day.” Fun Fact: Ja Rule is a famous Leap Baby and turns 10 today.
