Taylor Swift on Katy Perry: I Don’t Know Her!

Bravo bigwig and Watch What Happens Live! host Andy Cohen has a new memoir out, and naturally, it’s filled with the kind of gossip that will have stars chucking into their giant roaring fireplaces, a la Citizen Kane . Sure there are some Bravo-lebrities acting like Bravo-lebrities, but there are also some A-listers letting their true colors show. The most interesting excerpt that’s been released thus far has to do with Cohen’s run-in with Taylor Swift at an LA bar: “Why I felt I needed to get involved I will never know (maybe I was auditioning for her squad?) but I innocently said exactly the wrong thing to her, which was, ‘Your friend Katy is sitting in the corner and there’s plenty of room around her,’” he recalls. According to Cohen, Swift then asked, “Katy who?” “I said, ‘Perry,’ at which point she clearly let me know that she’s the exact opposite of her friend,” he continues. Cohen says he cracked a joke at his own expense to lighten the mood, but Tay-Tay wasn’t having it and instructed him not to mention the incident his show. “She didn’t threaten me about putting it in my book, so here we are,” he writes. Cohen concludes the anecdote with one of his signature puns, joking that he failed his “squad-ition!” Obviously, the great thing about this story isn’t that Cohen didn’t make the cut for Taylor’s squad , but that Taylor reacts like a Mariah Carey meme when someone mentions Katy’s name: On a side note: there’s something we’ve been wondering about the never-ending Katy-Taylor feud this week. We know that  Taylor subtly revealed her presidential preferences on Election Day after remaining mum on the subject throughout her campaign… And we imagine she’s less than pleased with the outcome. That said, some part of her has gotta be happy that Katy got screwed, right? Like, Taylor voted Dem, but Katy literally dressed up as Hillary for Halloween . Homegirl probably already had captions written for her Lincoln Bedroom selfies. Given her hatred of all things Katy and the fact that Swift has ties to the Trump family , we’re guessing she’s not as upset about the Donald’s victory as most young feminists. View Slideshow: 21 Celebrity Feuds We Never Saw Coming It’s hard to believe, but so is the fact that Taylor might be coming out with a rap album . BRB, we’re gonna go take a nap until 2017.

SMH: Katt Williams Sued By Tour Act After Allegedly Kidnapping And Calling Her A “Three Dollar P**** B*tch”

Comedian Ashima Franklin Sues Katt Williams Over Physical Abuse Katt Williams was hit with a lawsuit this week from a fellow comedian who claims he abused and kidnapped her. Ashima Franklin toured with Katt and claims the abuse started with a hit to the face back in 2012, according to TMZ. Franklin says this year the abuse resumed in the form of a two day attack, involving Katt holding her hostage while two women beat her up. Ashima is asking for at least $3 million for her suffering. According to the suit, obtained by TMZ, Katt bragged about having “million dollar bitches” … then turned his rage on Ashima, saying … “Why am I sitting here with this hillbilly, Alabama, backwoods ass three dollar p**** bitch?” The next day, Ashima says Katt and 2 women attacked her — leaving her with a swollen face and injuries to her chest, arms and legs — and Katt blocked her from leaving. She adds there was another incident where Katt threw piping hot food at her face, and asked why she thought she even had the right to eat. Damn Katt!

Jesus Take The Wheel: Catholic Hospital Refuses To Admit Woman Bleeding From Dislodged IUD Because Of This

Catholic Hospital Refuses To Admit Woman Bleeding From Dislodged IUD A Chicago woman was turned away at a Catholic hospital after her IUD dislodged because the church opposes birth control reports ReWire News: Melanie Jones arrived for her doctor’s appointment bleeding and in pain. Jones, 28, who lives in the Chicago area, had slipped in her bathroom, and suspected the fall had dislodged her copper intrauterine device (IUD). Her doctor confirmed the IUD was dislodged and had to be removed. But the doctor said she would be unable to remove the IUD, citing Catholic restrictions followed by Mercy Hospital and Medical Center and providers within its system. “I think my first feeling was shock,” Jones told Rewire in an interview. “I thought that eventually they were going to recognize that my health was the top priority.” The doctor left Jones to confer with colleagues, before returning to confirm that her “hands [were] tied,” according to two complaints filed by the ACLU of Illinois. Not only could she not help her, the doctor said, but no one in Jones’ health insurance network could remove the IUD, because all of them followed similar restrictions. Mercy, like many Catholic providers, follows directives issued by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops that restrict access to an array of services, including abortion care, tubal ligations, and contraception. The number of acute care hospitals that are Catholic owned or affiliated has grown by 22 percent over the past 15 years, according to MergerWatch, with one in every six acute care hospital beds now in a Catholic owned or affiliated facility. Women in such hospitals have been turned away while miscarrying and denied tubal ligation SMH!!!! Continue reading

Bad Luck Chuck: 31-Year-Old Florida Man Survives Lightning Strike, Spider, Alligator And Snake Bites

31-Year-Old Florida Man Survives Lightning Strike, Venomous Spider And Snake Bites A Florida man might want to change his name to “Bad Luck Chuck” after a series of unfortunate events turned his life all the way around reports AP News : Kyle Cook can’t decide whether he’s really unlucky or incredibly fortunate. Over the past four years, the 31-year-old Florida man has survived a lightning strike, a bite by a venomous spider and — most recently — an attack by a rattlesnake in his backyard in Lakeland, southwest of Orlando. “I need to get a (protective) bubble,” Cook told The Ledger. His father, Mike Cook, sees it another way. “He’s a walking Murphy’s law,” the elder Cook said. “I walk on the other side of the mall.” On Aug. 11, the younger Cook was almost finished cutting the grass at his family’s rented house when he heard a loud rattling sound. First he thought it was the buzzing of cicadas. Then, he thought the push mower might be making the noise so he shut it off. That’s when he saw the snake coiled about 3 feet from his right foot. He estimated it was about 5 feet long and had a girth the size of a soda can. Even before the latest incidents, Cook said he’s had many misadventures. He once got bitten by an alligator that he “accidentally” caught while fishing. And he was bitten by his friend’s Burmese python, which he was trying to feed. “It’s been a rough four years,” he said. “Maybe the higher up … is trying to get your attention that maybe something is going wrong. Or maybe I’ve simply been in the wrong place at the wrong time my whole life.” Murphy’s Law in the flesh! Continue reading

Actor Jack Riley Dies; The Bob Newhart Show Star Was 80

Jack Riley, who played the loveable neurotic patient Elliot Carlin on The Bob Newhart Show and Stu Pickles on Rugrats, has passed away. Riley’s wife, Ginger Lawrence confirmed to Deadline that the 80-year-old actor died of pneumonia and infection . The couple met on Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In in the 60s, where Lawrence worked as a producer’s assistant. Riley also starred in several of Mel Brooks’ movies, including High Anxiety, Space Balls and History of the World, Part 1, as well as Boogie Night. Riley was born in Cleveland, Ohio in December 1935.  After serving in the U.S. Army, Riley started a career in radio, where he became quite popular in his home city. In the ’60s, Riley moved to Los Angeles where he honed his comedic chops by writing and acting. Riley was perhaps most famous for his role on The Bob Newhart show , in which his character was described as “neurotic, sour and selfish patient” Elliot Carlin. Riley also guest-starred on popular shows of the past twenty years such as Seinfeld, Friends , and Night Court. Many who grew up watching Rugrats on Nickelodeon will recognize Riley’s voice, since he played Tommy Pickles’ dad, Stu in 143 episodes of the iconic cartoon series. Those in the entertainment industry who worked with Riley remembered the comedian fondly on Twitter. “What a lovely man. Proud to have known him,” composer Steve Orich wrote. “#RIP Actor Jack Riley, the eternally morose Elliot Carlin on ‘The Bob Newhart Show,” The Hollywood Reporter ‘s Mike Barnes tweeted. RIP, one of my favorite actors, Jack Riley. He was such a great person, nothing at all like the mean guy he played on he Bob Newhart Show,” actor Fred Stoller wrote. “Group is cancelled today. Mr. Carlin is unavailable,” writer Bill Chuck tweeted.  “The great Jack Riley has died at age 80.” View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Passed Away in 2016: Gone, But Not Forgotten

Guess Who’s Back! Has NeNe Leakes Reclaimed Her ‘RHOA’ Peach As A Full-Time Cast Member?

Will NeNe Leakes Return To RHOA? Seems like there are a lot of shake ups on Real Housewives of Atlanta next season. After NeNe pretty much promised to never return to deal with the “fake ladies” on the show, she popped right back up last season as a “guest star” — for a little over HALF the season. With a mostly positive relationship with the ladies this time around, having jazzed up the season a bit, and now a new partnership with “house husband” Peter Thomas …is NeNe poised for an official comeback? Not exactly…via TMZ : NeNe Leakes’ streak on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” is finally coming to an end … at least based on what’s NOT been going on during season 9 tapings. TMZ has learned they’ve been shooting for weeks now, and NeNe is nowhere in sight. It seemed like she was possibly coming back to the main cast after being named a guest last season. She’s been busy with a HSN clothing line, one woman tour, new game show and a stint on “Fashion Police.” Our ‘RHOA’ sources tell us producers have added at least one new cast member, and NeNe — the only remaining OG ATL housewife — doesn’t look to be part of plans going forward. We’re told “guest appearances” are always a possibility, but as of now producers aren’t counting on having NeNe. Well…NeNe loves to say how much more she has going on than the other reality wives. Looks like she’s just putting her money where her mouth is. Will you miss her? Instagram/Bravo

Girl, Who Asked You? “Girls” Creator Lena Dunham Goes On Facebook Rant About Kanye’s “Famous” Vid – “I Feel Unsafe”

Lena Dunham Weighs In On Kanye’s “Famous” Video Lena Dunham is known to be just chock full of un-asked for opinions with a feminist twist. Being that she’s also one of Taylor Swift’s henchmen, naturally she had to hop to social media to let everyone know just how much she’s “disturbed” by Kanye West’s latest video, “Famous.” Even though Lena swears she’s a huge fan of Kanye and all things Kanrdashian, she says that she’s having very conflicted thoughts about ‘Ye and says ‘the Famous video is one of the more disturbing “artistic” efforts in recent memory.’ Via Facebook : Let’s break it down: at the same time Brock Turner is getting off with a light tap for raping an unconscious woman and photographing her breasts for a group chat… As assaults are Periscoped across the web and girls commit suicide after being exposed in ways they never imagined… While Bill Cosby’s crimes are still being uncovered and understood as traumas for the women he assaulted but also massive bruises to our national consciousness… Now I have to see the prone, unconscious, waxy bodies of famous women, twisted like they’ve been drugged and chucked aside at a rager? It gives me such a sickening sense of dis-ease. …I know that art’s job is to make us think in ways that aren’t always tidy or comfortable. But this feels different… I’m sure that Bill Cosby doll being in the bed alongside Donald Trump is some kind of statement, that I’m probably being trolled on a super high level. I know that there’s a hipper or cooler reaction to have than the one I’m currently having. But guess what? I don’t have a hip cool reaction, because seeing a woman I love like Taylor Swift (f*ck that one hurt to look at, I couldn’t look), a woman I admire like Rihanna or Anna, reduced to a pair of waxy breasts made by some special effects guy in the Valley, it makes me feel sad and unsafe and worried for the teenage girls who watch this and may not understand that grainy roving camera as the stuff of snuff films… Here’s the thing, Kanye: you’re cool. Make a statement on fame and privacy and the Illuminati or whatever is on your mind! But I can’t watch it, don’t want to watch it, if it feels informed and inspired by the aspects of our culture that make women feel unsafe even in their own beds, in their own bodies… Man…that is a whole lot of thought from someone famous who’s not event included in the bed. We’re assuming that Taylor sic’d her “squad” member on Kanye to say things she didn’t feel like saying personally and drag a bunch of totally unrelated issues into the mix. Brock Turner though? SMH. Not to mention that Kanye’s video is actually BASED on an existing artwork …so did that make her feel unsafe and attacked too? [Insert think-face emoji] What do you think of Lena’s draining response?

Disney World Tragedy: Little Boy Dragged Into Water By Alligator

At around 9:00 p.m. ET, a Nebraska couple watch their two-year-old son wade in the shallows of Walt Disney World’s Seven Seas Lagoon at the Grand Floridian Hotel. All of a sudden, the boy was snatched up by an alligator and dragged into the water. “The father entered the water, and he tried to grab the child, but was not successful in doing so,” Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings told reporters during a press conference today. The mother also went into the water to try and save her son. The couple, who brought their 4-year-old daughter on the trip, alerted a nearby lifeguard who then called 911. The father suffered only scratches while trying to remove the boy from the alligator’s jaw. “They [alligators] were probably attracted to some motion on the bank,” executive director of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Nick Wiley explained, according to USA Today . “That’s the way they stalk their prey.” Wiley added that the alligator could have mistaken the child for prey, as the reptile was likely feeding. The lake is being searched by wildlife specialists, divers and a trained alligator trapper.  Four alligators have been removed, but no traces of the child were found. Demings told reporters this morning that this was still considered a “search and rescue operation,” adding that he and all though involved in looking for the boy were “very hopeful. “Sometimes you get the worst, but we are hoping for the best,” he said. As the search continued, Demings changed his tune. The sad reality of it is it’s been several hours, and we’re not likely going to recover a live body,” he said, according to CNN . No Swimming signs are posted to all beach areas of the land-locked resort, which has never had an accident like this.
