Lindsay Lohan Says She’s Designing Her Own Island, Appears to Be Serious

Lindsay Lohan may not have a successful movie career at the moment. Or television career. Or singing career. Or modeling career. Heck, you may not have even seen the words “Lindsay Lohan” and “career” or “success” in the same sentence since approximately 2009. But the former actress and constant lightening rod for trouble sat down with Wendy Williams on Friday and said she’s actually very busy. With what , you may be wondering? Well…. “I’m discussing designing my own island in Dubai at the World Islands,” Lohan said with a straight face, adding that it will be called “Lohan Island” and then joking: “I’m out Trump-ing Trump with the name Lohan.” Oh, God. Is Lindsay Lohan going to run for President in 2020? She is, isn’t she? And she’s going to win, isn’t she? Elsewhere in interview, the woman who thinks we’re too mean to Donald Trum p opened up about her family, her relationship status and her life in Dubai. Oh, and about that Mean Girls sequel chatter? Here’s a rundown of other topics the island architect touched on with Williams: Why did she get into so much trouble back in the day? I think everybody has their own path in life. We all go through ups and downs in life. Being in public, a lot of pressure was on a lot. I didn’t know how to have a private life because I was too young, running around too much and surrounding myself with people I probably shouldn’t have been around, there for the lifestyle. I wouldn’t blame anyone for anything in my life. Does she blame her parents for any of her issues? In life, parents have their things together and sometimes the children are immersed in it and you really have to step back and let your parents do what they do and figure everything out for themselves. We all have a great relationship now, so it’s nice,” she added, “it’s much simpler that way. Is she a lesbian? No, I like men. Is she dating right now? I don’t have a man. I don’t want to date anyone right now. I’m in work mode, I like it. I have great girlfriends, people around me, my family. Relationships, I’ve had enough of them. I don’t think, especially in LA you’re always around other actors, and I like being OK with me. When it happens, it’ll happen. Aside from being “stalker-ish” when it comes to making a new Mean Girls, what else is she doing? I really threw myself into working with a lot of children and refugees overseas. I’m going back to Turkey to see them soon. I feel like there’s a lot of love I have to give to children that don’t have anyone and that have lost their parents and don’t have a lot of love and hope in their life. What’s the biggest misconception about her? It is frustrating to me when people always say those partying days and stuff. I was never really a partier. Just because I was seen out at clubs, made some mistakes, they didn’t take the best shots of me. I don’t like to bring up and rehash the past. How does she feel about the future? Whenever people bring up past things I experiences and gone through, like jail, working at the morgue, which is actually really traumatizing stuff. But then it distracts from actually, maybe meeting with people to do Batgirl, doing a Mean Girls 2,’it really distracts people and they only think about the negative. It sounds like Lohan has a solid head on her shoulders these days. That may very well change by the time you read this. But we really do wish the best to Lohan. She’s been through enough. We’re sick of writing about her troubles and we hope they’re behind her. We’d also totally vacation on Lohan Island, wouldn’t you?

Maci Bookout on Mackenzie Standifer: She is SO SHADY!

You'll never believe this, but we have another not-so-flattering story about Mackenzie Standifer to share today. Except you'll definitely believe it, because out of all the many, many stories of Mackenzie we've shared in the past several months, literally none of them have been flattering . It's just that she's so … what's the word … snake-like? Manipulative? Untrustworthy? Terrible? It's hard to say, but the point is that Mackenzie is Teen Mom OG's biggest villain right now, and that point is proven yet again in this sneak peek for next week's episode. In this clip, Maci is driving around town with a couple of friends, and she tells them that she just got an invitation to Ryan and Mackenzie's wedding in the mail. “I thought that already happened,” one friend says — and we can't help but detect a little bit of shade at the reference to the parking lot wedding of the century . Maci says that while they are already married, they're planning on having an actual wedding , which was the one that took place in November. But that's not exactly what she wanted to discuss with her pals. “The wedding invitation is only addressed for myself and Bentley,” she says. “Like it says Maci Bookout, not Maci McKinney, and Bentley.” And that's not cool. We use Maci's maiden name because that's how people know her — like, nobody is out there Googling “Maci McKinney.” But obviously Mackenzie has a close relationship with Maci as the stepmother of her son, so there's no chance she wouldn't know the proper way to address her. And to leave out her husband and her two other children on the invitation? Come on, Mackenzie. Come on. Her friend asks who she thinks addressed the invitations, and she points out that it's definitely “a girl's handwriting.” But instead of making a big deal about the slight, Maci says that she's just going to RSVP to the invitation with her married name and her actual number of guests. Her friend suggests that she respond to the invitation with “not attending,” and she laughs and admits that she wishes she could do that. Who could blame her for not looking forward to that mess? The clip ends with Maci's friend saying “shame on” Ryan and Mackenzie for this petty little move — and if it wasn't a petty move, then it certainly was a thoughtless one. Check out the drama in the video below:

Jill Zarin Loses Husband to Cancer, Releases Moving Statement

Bobby Zarin has lost his battle against cancer. The husband of Real Housewives of New York City star Jill Zarin, Bobby passed away on Saturday while surrounded by family members and loved ones. He was 71 years old. In tribute to her late soulmate, Jill posted an official statement on her website on behalf of the family. It reads as follows: “With the heaviest of hearts, we are devastated to share the news that our beloved Bobby Zarin passed away peacefully today surrounded by family after a courageous battle with cancer. “There are no words to describe how heartbroken we are. Thank you, everyone for all your love, and support during this difficult time.” Along with this simple and sentimental message, the website included a photo of Bobby in a suit. Here it is: Bobby Zarin was initially diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2009. He went on to have his thyroid removed, while also undergoing radioactive iodine treatment in an attempt to overcome the very serious illness. “He’s in a better place now,” said friend and fellow Bravo personality Ramona Singer to E! News. In July of 2015, Bobby spoke to People Magazine about the diagnosis and treatment. “The radioactive iodine usually kills off whatever undetectable cancer cells are left in your body after surgery,” he explained at the time, adding: “We thought it was cured – and it usually is in about 93 percent of cases. But I wasn’t able to absorb the radioactive iodine. So it came back.” In emotional footage shared on her Instagram page back on December 3, Jill discussed how her husband was in the hospital and “was [doing] okay.” But she clearly knew the end was sadly near. “I’m just going to miss Bobby,” she said tearfully in this video. “I’m going to miss my life with him.” Although the Real Housewives of New York City veteran tried to be optimistic throughout Bobby’s treatment, she said “his cancer took an unexpected turn” over the summer. In July of last year, Bobby was admitted to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, where he recovered from a procedure related to his disease. “He is not going down without a fight,” Jill told People. “We’re hoping for a miracle.” The couple was married for 17 years at the time of Bobby’s death. In addition to Jill, Bobby is survived by his children – David Zarin, 41, Jennifer Zarin, 38, Jonathan Zarin, 35; along with 25-year-old stepdaughter Ally Shapiro. A service for Bobby will be held at a Riverside Memorial at a yet-to-be determined date. Our thoughts go out to Jill Zarin and all others affected by this tragedy. May Bobby Zarin rest in peace.

Did T.I. Cuss Out Tamar Braxton?

View post:

Source: JC Olivera / Getty Supposedly, T.I. had some words for Tamar Braxton after inviting Khia and TS Madison to an Xscape  show. Khia and TS claim that they weren’t exactly given a warm welcome when they went to perform alongside Tamar. Unfortunately, they never made it to the stage. According to TS, they were going to perform alongside Tamar. Khia claimed in a post obtained by The Jasmine Brand that the members of Xscape tried to get them kicked out of the venue, claiming that The Queens Court hosts had weapons. However, there were also reports that they had an altercation with Toya Wright. TS and Khia eventually left, but that’s not the end of the story! According to Khia, the real action backstage happened when T.I. stormed into Tamar’s dressing room to cuss her out. Khia also claims that he’s a big reason that they weren’t allowed on stage. “Tiny the best thing you could ever did was divorce T.I.,” Khia said in a clip from The Queens Court.” That was the best decision you could have made ’cause he ain’t nothing but a b*tch a** n*gga.” According to Khia, T.I. avoided direct interaction with them. “I was staring him down,” Khia stated in another clips, recalling their non-altercation when T.I. popped up backstage. “he didn’t turn his head or neck and address us.” That might be because he appeared to be on a mission. Khia alleges that he wanted police intervention for the situation. “He came in asking for the sheriff. He passed by two real b*tches, went into Tamar’s dressing room and roasted her, her mother and her grandmother in front of her children,” Khia recalled. “I think he was the one being disrespectful and disorderly. Tip, how you gonna go in there and cuss out Tamar, her mother, and her grandmama, and her sisters?” Khia continued. “And you act like we was the ones that was disrespectful and disorderly.” We don’t expect any tea from Tamar about this as she has shut down her Instagram, and T.I. has yet to speak on rumors of their backstage beef.

In White Folks News: Craig Sager Jr. Tweets About Deceased Dad’s Pesky Seedless Left Behind Estate Hassling Him

(Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images) Craig Sager’s Son Says He Left Him Out His Will, So Why Is He Going To Court? Drama! A few days ago, Deadspin reported that deceased NBA journalist C raig Sager left nothing to his children from his first marriage. That included his son Craig Sager II, who had given his dad bone marrow, in an attempt to save his life TWICE. Court papers confirmed even though the sportscaster left all of his property to his second wife, Stacy Jo Sager, and excluded the three adult children from his first marriage, his older children are getting called to court over it. His son is annoyed, justifiably and tweeted this: Nothing like getting served, pestered by Sherrifs & taken to court over a Will that myself and my sisters are not only 100% excluded from but do not even have any interest in contesting in the first place. Thanks Dad — Craig Sager II (@CraigSagerJr) January 2, 2018 His older sister, Kacy, issued  a statement  about the situation the following day. “We knew he left her everything. We knew his original will had been revised to exclude us,” she wrote. “And honestly? We didn’t care…. It sucks so damn hard that, after months without communication, our first ‘contact’ with Stacy was through lawyers and the poor sheriffs who had to waste their time serving us.” For all the people who thought he was being petty, airing this out on twitter he clarified: Craig Sager wrote his son out of his will the day after he spent 9 days in Houston trying to save his life a 2nd time. Craig Sager’s son & his 2 sisters that were also written out never contested it, but have been taken to court so they can never contest it. Make sense now? Good — Craig Sager II (@CraigSagerJr) January 10, 2018 I’m not taking anyone to court. I have always loved my dad & I will always work hard to make him proud. He said he wanted to live to see what I contribute to society bc I follow my heart. Right now, it’s time to be a good brother. I spent more than enough time being a good son. https://t.co/9yl6c3OS2E — Craig Sager II (@CraigSagerJr) January 10, 2018 Just trying to get my facts straight. https://t.co/7ZeKXkip5y — Craig Sager II (@CraigSagerJr) January 10, 2018 Yikes, that’s a tough situation.

Ellen Pompeo Slams "Fool" Woody Allen & the Actors He Works With!

You know how some celebrities always look the same in photos? Woody Allen’s one of those. He tends to look bewildered. And  bewildered  is how many feel every time that they see Woody Allen out and about instead of, you know, rotting in a jail cell.  Ellen Pompeo is courageously speaking out and slamming Woody Allen. Honestly? “Fool” is, relatively speaking, one of the nicest thing’s Allen’s ever been called. Ellen Pompeo quoted a  HelloGiggles  (love that site) tweet that read: “A journalist went through Woody Allen’s personal journals and found he was obsessed with teenage girls.” Pompeo quoted that tweet with, well, what we were all thinking: “I haven’t gone through his personal journals and I knew that… shocked the people that work with this man  # ambition is [blind].” And that was only the beginning of what she had to say. When someone in a now-deleted tweet apparently tried to suggest that Woody Allen had “made mistakes” in the past (that’s what we infer that they said,” Pompeo replied: “I don’t call it a mistake… he married his daughter…people see what they want to see or don’t…Kind of hard not to see who this fool is.” Like we said — “fool” is pretty much the nicest word for Woody Allen, considering the damning accusations that he  molested Dylan Farrow as a child . Also he married his daughter, Soon-Yi. But Ellen Pompeo was just getting started Ellen Pompeo continued by targeting Woody Allen’s alleged racism, tweeting: “And while we’re on the subject & I’m fired up has this fool ever put one poc in any of his movies ever?” and “What about Hispanic or Asian actors? Or are asians only for him to molest? You know me when I get started.” Woody Allen’s casting tends to be about as white as snow on a golf course, but one follower pointed out that Penelope Cruz won an Oscar for her role in one of his films. Pompeo acknowledged this, but notes that she genuinely doesn’t know about who’s in his films, because: “I wouldn’t know because I don’t watch that bougie s–t.” Honestly, it’s always nice to see Ellen Pompeo go off. One tweeter mentioned to Ellen Pompeo that some people try to “separate the professional from the person.”  You know, like going to Chick-fil-A despite their politics, or seeing a Johnny Depp film despite the abuse allegations, or seeing a film by Brett Ratner or Roman Polanski or Brian Singer or … well, there are way too many names. Ellen replied: “You know what I call that?? Ducking predators and chasing trophies…it’s WEAK AF.” Ellen went on to talk about how, too often, black women’s voices are ignored when they accuse a man of sexual predation.  She cites the many accusations against Bill Cosby, the first of which were ignored for years and years and years before soem famous white women spoke out. And, in the mean time, famous actresses who should know better — actresses whom I admire, like Selena Gomez  and Blake Lively  — continue to work with Woody Allen. It takes people like Ellen Pompeo using their platforms to keep momentum going. Woody Allen has not had his Weinstein moment yet. While many people eagerly await the day that Woody Allen is no longer among the living, it’s their hope that he’ll die in prison rather in the comfort of his home.  He’s 82-years-old and those who want to see him brought to justice and publicly disgraced know that the clock is ticking. Now is the perfect time to talk about this. Even the Golden Globes, with  Oprah’s epic speech  and  Debra Messing taking a stand for pay equality , had its flaws. James Franco, accused of having an inappropriate interest in underage teen girls, won for  The Disaster Artist  last night. And accused wife-beater Gary Oldman won Best Actor. Society has a long, long way to go. But even among other controversial and despised figures who still roam free, Woody Allen continues to stick out like a sore thumb.

Kailyn Lowry & Dominique Potter: It’s OVER!

It can be tough to keep track of everything that's going on in Kailyn Lowry's life these days. Between reality TV, her podcast, and a third memoir on the way, Kail's professional life couldn't be more jam-packed. And believe it or not, her love life is just as hectic. As recently as last month,  Kailyn was dating Dominique Potter and gushing about her new girlfriend in interviews. Now, the relationship has come to an end … and it seems it wasn't an amicable split: 1. Happier Times Kail and Dom hit it off right away and moved VERY quickly. After just a couple months of dating, Potter moved to Delaware in order to be closer to Lowry. 2. Meeting the Kids Moving to a new state was obviously a major sign of commitment, but perhaps an even better indication of just how serious Kail and Dom had become was the fact that Potter spent a considerable amount of time with Lowry’s kids. 3. A Major Step Lowry has stated on several occasions that she would only introduce love interests to her children if she were fairly certain they would be a part of her life for the long haul. So does she regret introducing Potter to her sons? Is the fact that things changed so abruptly a sign of an ugly breakup? 4. It’s Official Though Kail hasn’t made an announcement yet, a source confirms to Radar Online that she’s definitely no longer dating Potter. 5. The Single Life “She’s single,” one source told the outlet in no uncertain terms when asked about Kailyn’s love life. 6. What Went Wrong? So why would Kail and Dominique call it off so abruptly when things seem to be going so well? It seems that’s a question with several valid answers… View Slideshow
