The Carters Opening LA Restaurant As if the Carters didn’t have enough money already…the two are reportedly jumping into a new business venture. Love B. Scott exclusively reports that sources close to the couple confirm that they have purchased the location of the former Cat and Fiddle on Sunset Blvd and are currently re-developing the site with their own unique culinary vision. As for the cuisine, the theme, and the name of the new food spot these two are opening…we have no clue. In true Carter family fashion , the details are being kept under wraps, and we’ll know as soon as they decide we need to know. But to give you a better idea of what it could look like, sort of, here’s what Cat and Fiddle’s outdoor area looked like: There’s definitely a lot that they could do with the space! And just by virtue of the spot being associated with them, we know there will be a line around the block to get in the moment they’re open for business. Splash/WENN/AKM-GSI
Jasmine Man’s “Footnotes For Kanye” is an interesting poem aimed at Kanye West selling out to a “white family.” The poem is actually 2 years old, but we saw new footage of Jasmine performing the piece in front of a crowd. We think Jasmine calling herself “Kanye’s Black Ex-Gilfriend” is a metaphor for this poem. Lyrics: You look hungry Like that girl don’t make you no fried chicken or macaroni & cheese Like she don’t feel you on the inside Like you haven’t had a home cooked meal since your mama died You look like you lost the song in your own song Like you want to talk to God, but you’re afraid because y’all ain’t spoke in so long Do you tell your daughter about me? How we were bittersweet To never mess with entertainers because they always leave That he’ll get on and he’ll leave your a*s for a White girl And he’ll give her your style Your language Your waist Damn near try to give her your face And somewhere in this post-traumatic twisted fantasy He’ll make it all okay but What’s the worth in loving a man who’s lost his smile anyway When Kim f*cks up the lyrics of the College Dropout Like them White folks used to f*ck up your name. Do you pretend not to notice? Do you regret the Marilyn Monroe in your decision And wish that you could’ve taken Billie Holiday as your bride Do you ever want to run back to your wedding day and have it all over on the south side Do you wake up in the middle of the night and just think that she wasn’t the right girl Like you should’ve found one of them “I like art” type girls Can you hear all the Black kids calling your name Wondering why the boy who rapped about his mama getting arrested for the sit-ins didn’t sit in Why he traded in his Nat Turner for Ralph Lauren Do you know how many kids at the protests had your sneakers on? None of them. Do you know how many of your songs were played at the protests? All of them. Do you hear all of the lights The flashing lights The new slaves The runaways on their road to redemption waiting for Malcolm West to have the whole world at attention. !!!!!, they got you quiet Like how come only at award shows, he riots? Maybe Yeezus was all talk Jesus never needed Adidas to walk Why is he outlining sneakers when the south side is outlined in chalk? Can someone, can someone go and find the man who can make a diamond with his own bare hands We are looking for you Because these kids still wanna be just like you They wanna rap and make soul beats Just like you Even though you just not you Even though you traded in your spaceship to buy back your forty acres and a mule Purchased the plantation and master’s daughters, too n**ga, why you got these White folks claiming you? Like they built you Like they made you Like they polished you Like they readied them a good !!!!! for the picking Like they got you for sale Oh, how they love Kanye Let’s put him on front of the store Like you’re their Black boy You forgot you Black, boy? They got you lost in this world You getting blackmailed for that White girl You don’t see how your lies is affecting me? You don’t see how our lives was supposed to be? And I never let a n**ga get that close to me And you ain’t cracked up to what you was supposed to be I guess it’s bittersweet poetry
Last month, we learned that Courtney Stodden and Doug Hutchison got divorced . In the weeks since, Stodden has sped right past the usual celebrity meltdown milestones. First, Courtney developed a drinking problem (or at least pretended to #mystique). Shortly thereafter, she shaved her head for reasons that remain unclear. But just when we were braced for her to enter a rebound relationship with Charlie Sheen and start munching Xanax out of a bowl with a cereal spoon, she finally began to pull herself out of the tailspin. Yes, Coutney blew right by all the stops on the trainwreck tour so quickly she’s already at Redemption Junction. It’s almost like she was never really that upset about her divorce and is actually kind of okay with being rid of the creepster who’s 34 years her senior and married her before she was a legal adult. Anyway, Courtney is still pretending to be mildly heartbroken because she sort of has to, but she’s also posting lots of nude selfies, so color us interested: “I think both of us saw the warning signs for quite some time,” Stodden recently told Us Weekly. “Technically we’ve been split for two-and-a-half to three months now. It’s really recent and the emotions are still really raw.” Courtney added that she’s been occupying herself by becoming fluent in Dr. Phil-ese, saying: “It’s hard right now but we’re trying to individually find our happiness. It’s just really sad right now.” Stodden says that even though the marriage didn’t last, she still reflects fondly on her time with her acting coach-turned-Humbert Humbert: “He’s been my rock for me through so many things that I’ve been through,” Stodden told Us. “It’s been interesting for sure.” We’re starting to think that Courtney’s definition of “interesting” is very different from ours. Fortunately, Courtney’s boobs are lighting the way through this boring, boring time in her life: We’ll give her this much: Despite her youth, Stodden has a keen understanding of how the Internet works and she knows her strengths: There were three interesting things about her – her creepy marriage, and her boobs – and now she’s down to two. So she’s doing what any aspiring starlet with a thirst for fame and a dearth of talent would do: She’s flaunting the hell out of them, which is the proper way for her to process her divorce. After all, you can’t spell “Stodden” without double-D’s. Never change, girl.
Feel like you need a little bit of light in your life? Like you just need a moment to focus on something happy instead of the nasty, smelly garbage fire that is our world today? Then look no further than this incredible little pregnancy announcement: That’s Amanda Diesen and Todd Krieg, a very happy couple — and they’re extra happy now that they’re expecting their first child! The message, that cheeky little “It still works!”, came about because Todd was paralyzed from the chest down after a dirt bike accident a few years ago, and they didn’t think they’d be able to have children without medical intervention. “We thought we’d need to look into devices or doctor visits or maybe even IVF,” Amanda explained in an interview with People. “We definitely didn’t think it would be able to happen naturally!” She continued the explanation with “It’s totally different for anyone with a spinal cord injury. Todd does not feel it when stuff is going on, but is occasionally able to reach climax.” These two crazy kids met in 2015 when Todd visited a paralysis center in California. Amanda worked there as a recovery specialist, and for her, it was love at first sight. “I was first drawn to Todd’s good looks!” she recalled. “I thought he was a total babe.” “I’m also drawn to his sense of humor, and ability to put on a happy face despite the struggles and huge life-changing event he has endured.” Amazing, right? But Amanda isn’t done with her sweet words yet, not by a long shot. “I think that loving someone in Todd’s situation takes a bit more patience and a servant heart,” she said, but if you truly love someone it won’t be any different than if he were up and walking.” “Of course, it’s tough on me sometimes, not being able to stand up and get a hug from the person I love most, or to be able to walk around in public holding hands or go running on the beach together.” “But honestly, the love that Todd and I have for each other is something I wouldn’t trade for the world.” She explained that Todd is “in physical and mental pain every single day” because of his paralysis, and that sometimes it bothers him that she’s able to do things around the house more easily than he can.

And on Valentine’s Day , they discovered that they’re having a little boy. Best wishes to this precious couple!
So much for Selena Gomez and The Weeknd just being a fling. According to a new report, the singers are actually quite serious about each other. Just how serious? Let’s just say that Justin Bieber may not want to scroll down any further in order to find out… An insider tells Life & Style that Gomez is in the process of looking for a new house. But it won’t just be a house for only herself. Oh, no, it will be a house large enough to support multiple occupants. And one of them will be The Weeknd! “Selena is going to be putting up the money for the house, and she’s going to spare no expense,” the insider tells the tabloid, adding in extreme detail: “They’re looking in Bel Air, Holmby Hills and Malibu. She wants a big backyard where they can host get-togethers with friends, and she’d love a pool so she can go skinny-dipping with Abel.” Man. This unnamed individual must really know Gomez well. Not only is he or she well aware of Selena’s real estate interests, but he or she even knows how badly Gomez wants to swim naked with her new man. Gomez and The Weeknd got together under somewhat controversial circumstances. The latter had dated Bella Hadid for about two years prior to their break-up last year. He then got together with Gomez, but sources claim Selena never told Bella about the romance herself; Hadid had to learn about it through the celebrity gossip grapevine. This was especially hurtful because Bella and Selena are sort of friends. They are both members of Taylor Swift’s Squad. But despite a bit of Instagram shade hurled in her direction by Hadid , Selena is moving full steam ahead with her relationship. It may be too early to hear any wedding bells, but the artists are apparently set to take the next step. “It’s going to be their little love nest,” a source tells Life & Style of the mansion Selena is allegedly set to purchase. Bieber has seem pretty disturbed by his ex-girlfriend moving on in this manner, openly laughing at The Weeknd’s music on Instagram, for example. But Gomez doesn’t care. She’s happier than ever. She and The Weeknd just returned from a vacation to Italy and it sounds like they had a grand time. “Their trip was bomb,” a source told Hollywood Life of their romantic trip abroad. “They saw some historical sights, laughed, and found this cute little chain length fence and put a love lock on it! The Weeknd loves traveling with her and wants to take her to Toronto next and give her a personal tour of his old stomping grounds.” Maybe they can go skinny dipping there!

In July of 1960, Marilyn Monroe reported to Fox Studios in Manhattan to begin principle photography for The Misfits . The film, written by her husband, Arthur Miller, would prove to be Monroe’s final completed project before a barbiturate overdose claimed her life at the age of 36. For decades, the actress’ final years have been a subject of profound fascination for Hollywood historians and conspiracy theorists alike, and now, newly uncovered photos are certain to set off yet another wave of scrutiny and speculation. While on set at Fox, Monroe posed for a number of photographs taken by her friend Frieda Hull. The photos were auctioned off in Hollywood last year and purchased by a friend and neighbor of Hull’s named Tony Michaels for the surprisingly paltry sum of $2,240. Michaels says the reason he took such an interest in the images, while others saw nothing noteworthy about them, is that he was in on a secret few others were aware of: According to Michaels, Marilyn was pregnant when she posed for Hull. Michaels says Monroe went to great lengths to conceal the pregnancy, as she was expecting a child not by Miller, but the French actor Yves Montand, with whom she had starred in a film (perhaps rather aptly) titled Let’s Make Love . In August of 1960, legendary director John Huston shut down production on The Misfits to send Monroe to a Nevada hospital for detox treatment. Between the timing of her hospitalization and her appearance in the Hull photos, many are now convinced that Monroe was hiding a pregnancy that was either lost or terminated some time in the summer of that year. Hull says the so-called ” pregnancy slides ” (some of which were published today by UK tabloid The Daily Mirror ) offer conclusive evidence that Marilyn was, at one point, several months along in a pregnancy she successfully hid from her husband and adoring public. New mementos or documents that purport to shed some light on the screen icon’s dark final days seem to surface every year or two. In 2013, auctioneers claimed to have gotten ahold of Monroe’s plastic surgery records . In 2014, a former Hollywood bodyguard put what he described as a sex tape featuring Monroe and John F. Kennedy on the market. (Not surprisingly, his claims were later debunked.) The demand for such items is a testament to the enduring fascination with Monroe’s life and untimely death. In all likelihood, they’ll continue to surface and promise “evidence” about her life that will become more and more dubious as the years pass by. It seems improbable that the remaining mysteries surrounding Monroe’s life, health, emotional state, and death will ever be solved. But it also seems certain that her fans will never stop looking for the answers.
Well, that didn’t take long. For a while there, it looked like Lindsay Lohan had really turned things around. Or at the very least, she’d sworn off hoovering piles of cocaine in order to better focus on spying for the Turkish government . Hey, it’s a step in the direction … we think. If nothing else, Lindsay pulled a serious role model upgrade in recent months. there was a brief period where instead of trying to be the next Courtney Love, she set her sights on being the next Angelina Jolie. Unfortunately, that’s easier said than done, and it looks like LiLo may be backsliding into her own ways. It seems part of the problem is that one of Lindsay’s most high-profile international “philanthropic” endeavors was the opening of Lohan nightclub in Athens. Yes, she opened a nightclub and named it after herself, and yes, she claimed all the profits would go to charity. For all we know, maybe she has donated all the profits. If the past year has taught us anything, it’s that orange-colored throwback celebs who seem to suffer from constant allergy symptoms aren’t always forthcoming with their tax returns. Anyway, to the utter shock of absolutely no one, Lindsay has been partying at Lohan nightclub . Sources say she’s been spotted hanging out in the VIP with the “business partner” who helped her purchase the place. You may remember him as the dude Lindsay claimed to be “just friends” with in the video where she debuted her weird new fake accent: Lindsay Lohan’s Bizarre New Accent According to Radar Online, she’s off the wagon, they’re hooking up, and the whole is being kept on the ultra down-low for fear that it’ll mess up Lindsay’s last ditch effort to salvage what’s left of her reputation through good works. In case you haven’t been keeping up on the personal affairs of an actress who hasn’t appeared in a hit movie in 13 years (Jeez, what have you been doing with your life?!), Lindsay appeared to have put the partying life behind her in recent months. First, she deleted all of her Instagram photos and left only a traditional Muslim greeting in their place . When she reappeared on social media, it was with a bunch of Jolie-esque photos in which she’s seen posing with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdorgan. Erdogan’s a pretty problematic dude, what with having just suppressed a coup last year, but hey, at least Lohan was briefly taking an interest in things that don’t go up her nose, right? Of course, given the fact that she was getting involved with some pretty shady characters, it might be a good thing that Lindsay has rediscovered her passion for blow and publicly sucking face.

For fairly obvious reasons, Toby Keith is rarely compared to Nirvana. But there’s finally a reason to write about the country music artist and the iconic rock band in the same sentence. And that’s because Keith has a simple response to anyone giving him grief for performing this weekend at Donald Trump’s Presidential Inauguration: NO APOLOGIES! The country music star is maybe the biggest name to have signed on for this controversial event, which will take place on January 20 in Washington, D.C. Very few major acts want to be associated with the 45th President of the United States, with Keith having received a great deal of flak for agreeing to take the stage. Not that he seems bothered by the criticism. “I don’t apologize for performing for our country or military,” the artist told Entertainment Weekly late last week, explaining further: “I performed at events for previous presidents [George W.] Bush and [Barack] Obama and over 200 shows in Iraq and Afghanistan for the USO.” That is certainly one point of view. We can see how some singers out there view performing at the inauguration as a patriotic act that represents the country and the democracy more than one single man. But we can also see how many stars simply see this as an exception. We can understand their hesitance to support Donald Trump in any way, shape or form. Keith will be joined at the celebratory concert by 3 Doors Down, Lee Greenwood, Jackie Evancho , The Piano Guys and the Frontmen of Country, according to an announcement posted on the Presidential Inaugural Committee site. Broadway actress Jennifer Holliday was also scheduled to perform, but published a letter on Saturday that said she felt a need to pull put. In her statement, Holliday apologized to the LGBTQ community for agreeing to perform in the first place, calling the initial decision a “lapse of judgement.” Trump, meanwhile, is well aware that artists are refusing to take his stage. But he’s claimed on Twitter that not only isn’t he bothered by their absence… he doesn’t want them anywhere near him anyway! “The so-called ‘A’ list celebrities are all wanting tickets to the inauguration, but look what they did for Hillary — NOTHING,” Trump tweeted in December , adding: “I want the PEOPLE!” We guess Toby Keith isn’t a person, based on this line of reasoning? Trump, of course, has other things to worry about these days than who will or will not perform in D.C. later this week. Such as accusations that he really is a puppet for Russia and/or talk that he will violate the Constitution on his first day in office due to his many business conflicts. But, like Keith, Trump doesn’t seem too upset by the insults and threats being hurled his way. Nor by the lack of well-known stars who went to perform on his behalf. “Inauguration Day is turning out to be even bigger than expected. January 20th, Washington D.C. Have fun!” he recently Tweeted. Will you be attending the event? Will you be watching it on TV? Will you be boycotting Keith and/or anyone who performs at it? Or will you be lining up to purchase their records in a show of support?
