Disney Removes All Alligator References From Their Theme Parks The folks at Disney are trying to clean up their image a bit in the wake of the alligator attack that left a 2-year-old boy dead , according to the NYPost . The family-friendly money machine is removing all images of alligators from their parks including cartoons, shows and displays. -Louis, the trumpet-playing gator from “The Princess and the Frog,” is no longer part of the Friendship Faire Castle show. -The Tic Toc Croc, who chases bad guy Captain Hook in “Peter Pan,” has been yanked from the Festival of Fantasy Parade at Magic Kingdom. -And the Jungle Cruise boat ride no longer includes a corny one-liner from the captain telling parents to “watch your children, or the crocodiles will,” according to the Hollywood Reporter. Guess they figure parents won’t empty out their life savings to bring their kids to a place where they might die at the hands (and teeth) of a prehistoric-lookin’ beast.

Rumors about Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton getting engaged have been circulating pretty much for as long as we’ve known they’re a couple. When Gwen fell for Blake, she also fell for his native Oklahoma, and lately fans have been speculating that Shelton popped the question during one of the couple’s frequent trips to Blake’s hometown. In fact, a recent tweet from Stefani has many wondering if the couple has quietly tied the knot on their latest low-key visit to the Sooner State. As you may have heard, astronomy enthusiasts were psyched due to last night’s “strawberry moon” occurring on the summer solstice for the first time in nearly 50 years. What does that have to do with the Gwake wedding rumors? Well, Gwen marked the occasion with this curious tweet: “Hi strawberry moon #honeymoon #rosemoon gx #Oklahoma 2016” Now, it could just be that she was grooving on moon nicknames, but there’s no way Gwen didn’t know what she was doing when she put the words “honeymoon,” “Oklahoma” and “2016” in the same tweet. Shelton and Stefani make for an interesting case in that they’re both incredibly public and incredibly private. They’re all over one another’s social media accounts (Blake’s Twitter profile pic is currently a photo of Blake.), but we also see the aspects of their relationship they want us to see. Further fueling the latest round of speculation is Gwen’s failure to respond to the tidal wave of congratulations that followed her honeymoon tweet: “Congrats to you and Blake on your marriage! Your happiness brings joy to so many,” wrote one fan. “Honeymoon? Please tell me y’all secretly got married (or at least engaged),” tweeted another. Gwen’s remained silent on the matter, and in this case – that may speak volumes. View Slideshow: Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani: 11 Most Adorable PDA Moments

Kim Kardashian may think that Kanye West is too fat to f-ck these days, but the rapper doesn’t seem fazed by his wife’s allegedly harsh opinion. He’s still totally smitten with her. Following a special dinner for Kanye in honor of Father’s Day over the weekend, West took to Twitter in order to rant against corporations and Taylor Swift and any notion that he isn’t the most forward-thinking person on the planet. No, wait. Sorry. That’s what Kanye usually does on Twitter. This time around, the artist instead chose to show some public gratitude for his famous prettier half. “Wifey made the best Father’s Day meal ever,” West wrote on Twitter last night. “So thankful, so happy, so blessed. Thank you for making my family.” We’d have to imagine Kim used the Kris Jenner cookbook to come up with the delicacy of fried chicken, corn bread, noodles and vegetables she prepared on Sunday. Along with the meal someone else clearly cooked , Kim shared an adorable family photo in honor of Father’s Day. Featured here, it depicted Kanye, Kim and their two kids on the beach: “Happy Fathers Day babe! Thank you for always putting our family first and being the best dad to our babies!” Kardashian wrote as a caption to the image. Truth be told, we often make fun of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. Because, you know, they often suck for how important they think they are and for the many ways in which they sell out to make money. But this couple actually does seem very much in love. We don’t question their feelings for each other, nor do we question just how cute their children are. Earlier in the weekend, meanwhile, Kim and Kanye celebrated their daughter’s birthday via a joint party for North and Penelope Disick. “She promised me she wouldn’t get any bigger!” Kim wrote on Instagram while wishing her daughter a special day. “I can’t believe my baby girl is 3 years old today!!!! Northie I love you so much I can’t even explain it! View Slideshow: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Wedding Photos

Earlier this week, we learned that JoJo Fletcher would be confronting suitor Jordan Fletcher about past cheating rumors during an upcoming episode of The Bachelorette . And now, we have the video of the awkward encounter. Jordan, the former NFL quarterback and brother of star quarterback Aaron Rodgers, has been a frontrunner since the season premiere when he shared a totally open-mouthed kiss with JoJo. But something was fishy about the guy from the get-go. For starters, his ex-girlfriend Brittany Farrar called Jordan out as a cheater on Instagram right after his first episode aired. Others suspect he's participating in the dating show for the wrong reasons, specifically, trying to regain his place in the spotlight. Now it's been revealed that JoJo actually met Jordan's ex in Dallas before the show began filming, and her words were far from flattering. “Brittany told JoJo that Jordan wasn’t a great boyfriend,” an insider told Us Weekly . “She said there were trust issues.” Now, JoJo's putting Jordan on the hot seat, and he doesn't appear thrilled. She brings up her meeting with Brittany and asks Jordan to explain his side. The dude is obviously uncomfortable, and you can almost see the beads of sweat bloom from his brow as he takes a sip of water then nervously runs his hand through his hair. “That's just, uh, interesting,” Jordan tells her. “I don't even know what to say there.” He finally goes on to explain that he was so focused on football at the time, and he admits to not being the best person. “Was there cheating?” JoJo finally inquires, and the producers cut it off with that cliff hanger. So I guess you'll have to watch to find out. Or check out The Bachelorette spoilers to see if JoJo gives him the axe.
The unthinkable happened to Matt and Melissa Graves on June 14th, and now they have to return home to Nebraska without their son. The parents, who attempted to rescue their two-year-old, Lane Graves from the mouth of an alligator, gave their first statement today. “Words cannot describe the shock and grief our family is experiencing over the loss of our son,” the couple said, according to ABC News. “We are devastated and ask for privacy during this extremely difficult time. To all of the local authorities and staff who worked tirelessly these past 24 hours, we express our deepest gratitude.” At 9:16 on Wednesday night, the Graves were on the beach of the Grand Floridian Hotel in Walt Disney World for a movie night. Graves waded into the man-made lake, even though “No Swimming” signs were posted. Then, an alligator came from the lake and snatched the little boy , dragging him into water. Tireless search-and-rescue efforts from first responders, law enforcement and Disney employees eventually found the body of the boy at around 1:45 on Tuesday afternoon. Save for a few puncture wounds, authorities confirmed, his body was in tact. What’s even more disturbing is that the body was located about ten to fifteen feet from where he was taken, under six feet of water. Fellow resort guest Jennifer Venditti Roye posted photos of her own son, who waded in the water at the exact same location on the beach an hour earlier, to Facebook. Venditti Roye did this to hit back at the online trolls who have been tormeting Graves’ parents for ignoring the “No Swimming” signs. “There is a time to be critical when parents are doing drugs and their children get hurt,” Venditti Roye told People Magazine. “But this is just not the time. It’s heartbreaking .” The mom to three-year-old Channing said the accident hit way too close to home for her. “It could have been [my son],” she admitted. “We had been there every night. What a tragedy.” “Not at all did that cross my mind that there would be alligators in that area,” she said. “There were tons of families just roasting marshmallows. The Grand Floridian had provided the activity for kids, right there on the beach,” Venditti Roye explained. “And the water was just ankle deep. Where that beach is – it’s a small cove, so central, with the resort area built around it. There’s a pool nearby. It’s well-lit. Well-traveled. Not off the beaten path where you think anything would be lurking. “I never would have dreamed in a million years that there would have been an alligator there.” The Facebook post has been shared over 150,000 times. “I can’t help but wonder if we played with him,” she wrote. “Did I talk to his Mom? How does one go home without your baby in tow? PRAY, PRAY so hard for the family & for those who witnessed this tragic event.”
If you haven't heard, Brandi Glanville and LeAnn Rimes ended their feud , putting the kibosh on one of the most longstanding and reliable wars in celebrity history. As you may know, Glanville's former husband Eddie Cibrian cheated on her with Rimes and later married her, so you get where tensions originated. Glanville was often peeved that Rimes was pretending to be the “new mom” to her sons and called the country singer out on numerous occasions. The two women – and sometimes Cibrian – traded jabs on Twitter all the time, and it was ridiculously immature and solidly entertaining for onlookers. And then one day, suddenly, everything changed. The two tweeted kind words to each other, and the universe went, HUH??? It was kind of unreal. Brandi actually wished LeAnn a happy fifth wedding anniversary to Cibrian. “@leannrimes Happy anniversary Happy 2 watch my boys 4 mybaby daddy so that y'all can celebrate! Get a tan for me #feeling pasty (mean it),” Brandi tweeted. “@BrandiGlanville Thank you! Happy that we always pick up where the other leaves off. Xoxo,” LeAnn replied. This all happened seemingly out of the blue and confused everyone. Now, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has broken her silence on why the two decided to bury the hatchet. “Something happened with my children and it brought Eddie and LeAnn and I together and we just had to be on the same page and we realized that we're the adults here and we have to act like adults,” Glanville said during an interview with toofab. We don't know what the “something” is that “happened,” but it sounds pretty intense. “I've been ready for this for so long,” she continued. “The kids are the happiest they've ever been when we're united,” she added. “I will do anything for those children of mine.” Oddly enough, Glanville signed on to star in a cooking show called My Kitchen Rules with LeAnn's ex-husband, Dean Sheremet.
Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna may be getting ready to have a baby. But you need not prepare to go shower shopping for this couple. We’re pretty sure they’ll be able to afford whatever they want for their impending child. According to TMZ, various photo agencies and paparazzi members have made it clear they they are willing to shell out a lot of money for the first Rob and Chyna baby photos. Like… A LOT of money. Just how rich could this couple get off their son or daughter-to-be? Look for them to clear a million dollars off the baby photo sale, although TMZ sources do say there’s a catch: Kardashian and his fiancee must be part of the shoot. Moreover, the pictures must be cute and “intimate” and they must include a candid interview with the controversial duo; a few family secrets may need to be spilled as well. Why do we somehow doubt this will be an obstacle for Rob and Chyna? View Slideshow: Blac Chyna Pregnant News: The Internet Reacts! For comparison’s sake, Jamie Lynn Spears and Nicole Richie each received seven figure for the first photos of their daughters. Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, meanwhile, clearly $6 million for snapshots of their twins… and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie earned $11 for theirs, although they donated the money to charity. Chyna recently did reveal the first photo of her baby, sharing an ultrasound image with the world . This doesn’t exactly count. But it was proof that Blac Chyna really is pregnant and her bank account is about to increase by an even larger amount than the happiness in her heart.

Troubled but popular reality star Scott Disick celebrated his 33rd birthday in Las Vegas with none other than ex-partner Kourtney Kardashian. The Lord, who has been squiring a harem of barely-legal ladies of late, instead spent the evening alongside his three-time baby mama. Kourtney Kardashian, 37, partied at 1 Oak with Scott, along with her sister Khloe Kardashian and frequent family associate Malika Haqq. What should we read into the fact that Kourt joined him? Maybe a lot … maybe not so much. Either way, insiders close to her say that Kourt’s feelings regarding Disick’s behavior have evolved. “Kourtney’s anger towards Scott disappeared a long time ago. She realizes he’s a self-destructive addict who can’t help himself,” a friend said. That doesn’t mean his alleged issues – rumors that Scott Disick is a sex addict who objectifies women are running rampant – don’t concern her: “The saddest thing with Scott is that he genuinely falls for these girls and believes it’s totally normal to have several girlfriends at once.” “He’s been hitting on everyone, including even his hookups’ friends,” the source said. “He also has this really deviant attitude toward sex.” “He doesn’t enjoy it unless it’s kinky and extreme.” View Slideshow: 37 Photos of Kourtney Kardashian Showing Scott Disick What He’s Missing So will Scott get help for that alleged problem? We wouldn’t bet on that, but Kourt’s presence at his birthday bash does signal that whatever the future holds, they aren’t on bad terms. She also recently posted a throwback pic of her straddling Scott in a bikini , which was either a really nice shoutout or diabolical torture. Feels more symbolic in a nice way, though. Yes, she’s posted plenty of bikini pics over the past year or so that seem tailored to torturing her ex and showing him what he’s missing. That’s a great storyline, and no one would blame her, but she clearly has some genuine affection for the father of her children, as well. Witnesses who saw them celebrating his 33rd agreed, saying that the former duo appeared to get along. Says a close Scott source: “He seems like he’s in a really good place.” Slow down. Let’s not get too ahead of ourselves … this is a guy who needs to stop drinking or else . But still, baby steps are good steps.
