Bethenny Frankel on Jules Wainsten: I Knew It!

Bethenny Frankel is probably the most pivotal characters on The Real Housewives of New York City.  She can effortlessly create drama from thin air and it keeps us tuning in every damn week to watch just how much she can stir the damn pot.  Her latest words surrounded her claims that Jules and Michael Wainstein signing a post-nuptial agreement before filming kicked off on the Bravo reality series.  Bethanny bashed Jules for using the show to showcase her divorce to Michael.  It was all pretty bizarre and made the reunion special pretty awkward to watch.  Jules was playing the sympathy card and acting all shocked about her marriage crumbling and even brushed off Bethenny’s claims.  Now, it appears that Bethanny was totally right about the whole thing.  Who would have thought it? A source close to the situation revealed to Radar Online that Bethenny was right.  It really raises a whole lot of questions about just how fake everything was with Jules on the show.  If she planned on using her divorce as a storyline for the hit series, it really puts things in perspective.  It’s not uncommon for reality TV shows to be manipulated in some way, but what Jules did was just deplorable.  Maybe she knew that was the only way of her getting on the show, but it still doesn’t explain why she lasted just one season.  “Jules and Michael were with Bethenny a few times and that is why she could say that she knew them,” the source explained. “Jules and Michael told her about their marriage problems one time at her house before they started taping the show.” “They didn’t blatantly say ‘we are getting divorced for the show,'” the source explained.”  View Slideshow: 19 Real Housewives Who Only Lasted One Season “Just that they had a pretty good idea that their marriage was having problems. They did talk about it with her, and she knew it was going to happen.” There’s no denying that Bethenny is super smart. She collects information and uses it to her advantage when the opportunity arises.  Just look at the way she revealed Tom D’Agostino was doing the dirty on LuAnn de Lesseps.  It’s not like LuAnn believed any of it. She was far too blinded by love.  What do you think of all of this? Does this make you glad that Jules had exited the series after one season? Hit the comments with your thoughts on the matter.  View Slideshow: Real Housewives All Stars: Who Should Be Cast?

Kailyn Lowry: Bashing Javi Marroquin on Twitter?!

Ever since we learned that  Kailyn Lowry and Javi Marroquin are breaking up , both parties have maintained that their first priority is their son, and they plan to keep the split as amicable as possible. However, their social media feeds tell a different tale. Javi has accused Kailyn of cheating on Twitter. Kailyn has thrown subtle shade at Javi on Instagram. And both of them have liked and retweeted fans who bashed the other party on their behalf. To their credit, Kailyn and Javi do seem like they’re trying to get along for their kid’s sake and for their own mental health, but that’s often easier said than done. Kailyn in particular seems to do her level best to take the high road. Even when it was revealed that Javi is already dating (and was probably doing so even before the terms of their divorce were settled), she opted not to trash her ex on social media. Today, however, it seems that Kailyn is just not having it. Based on her latest Twitter activity, it seems someone seriously pissed Lowry off. Kailyn hasn’t mentioned Javi by name, but naturally, drama-loving Teen Mom 2 fans are assuming that it’s Javi. “There’s too many people in the world to keep someone around for no reason,” Kailyn tweeted earlier today. Last night, she was feeling a bit more wistful, and dropped this on her followers: “I fell in love with the unattainable.” Yet again, of course, everyone assumed that she was talking about Javi. Obviously, when someone pines for a lost love on social media, the assumption is they’re talking about their most recent ex. But it’s possible that that may not be Javi. There have been rumors that  Kailyn is dating  someone new as well, which may help to explain why she was so chill about the news that Javi has moved on. Is it possible that Kailyn’s new relationship has already come to an end? Whatever the case, her recent Instagram posts seem to indicate that she’s currently filming new episodes of the series that made her famous, so we’ll get to find out what all this drama is about soon enough. Watch Teen Mom 2 online at TV Fanatic to get caught up before then. View Slideshow: Kailyn Lowry: Timeline of a Turbulent Teen Mom Life

Katie Holmes: Not Allowed To Date Until 2017!

Tom Cruise made sure that Katie Holmes was still under his control when they ironed out divorce details in 2012. The couple, who started a romance that no one believed was real in 2005, decided that faking their marriage was really exhausting and therefore decided to divorce. “This is a personal and private matter for Katie and her family,” Holmes’s attorney Jonathan Wolfe told People in June 2012. “Katie’s primary concern remains, as it always has been, her daughter’s best interest.” Meanwhile, Cruise’s rep told the publication that “Kate has filed for divorce and Tom is deeply saddened and is concentrating on his three children. “Please allow them their privacy.” Since Cruise made more money, he was able to put certain restrictions on Holmes even after their marriage was officially over by making her sign a contract. That contract, according to Radar Online , stated that Holmes would get $5 million for doing as Cruise said. “Katie wanted out of the marriage so badly, she agreed to the terms — and got $4.8 million in child support, plus another $5 million for herself,” a source told Radar. “Katie signed a clause in her quickie divorce settlement that prevents her from embarrassing Tom in various ways, like talking about him or Scientology, or publicly dating another man for five years after the divorce.” Cruise isn’t a total monster, though.  He stated that Holmes can date, but it has to be in secrecy. “She’s allowed to date, but she cannot do so in a public fashion, and she’s not supposed to let any boyfriend near their daughter, Suri,” the source said. View Slideshow: 12 Celebrity Relationships We’re Pretty Sure are Fake This has made things challenging for Holmes and her boyfriend, Jamie Foxx. It’s the worst kept secret in Hollywood that Foxx and Holmes are together (they’ve been dating since 2013), but Holmes will lose out on $5 million if she takes her relationship with Fox public. The two were almost exposed last month when Holmes watched Foxx perform with Barbra Streisand in New York, and then joined him in his dressing room. “They figured it wasn’t a violation of the public rule because security prevented photos. They were so discreet,” the source said. As for Cruise, it’s said that he’s not keeping tabs on his ex, but being reunited with his money wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. “At this point, Tom doesn’t care much what Katie does,” the source added. “But he wouldn’t mind getting his $5 million back!” What makes this story even more depressing is that Cruise has reportedly not seen his daughter, Suri  in three years .   There has been “no communication at all,” according to the tabloids, and any talk of Cruise fighting for more custody of Suri is fale.

Frances Bean Cobain Posts Bikini Pic, Shows Off Tattoos

Frances Bean Cobain has never shown much interest in entering show business or becoming a social media celebrity (apparently a viable career option for celebrity offspring in 2016), but she’s grown up under a microscope nonetheless. It’s not hard to see why, of course, as for a generation of music fans, her father is more much more than just a rock star (ironically, a role he says he never wanted to play). Kurt Cobain’s tragic passing elevated him to the level of icon, martyr of fame, member of the fabled 27 Club and unwitting sacrifice to the rock gods. Courtney Love, by contrast, has become, over the years, something of a punchline in the music world: a coattail-riding Lady MacBeth, a female Keith Richards haunted by her own Brian Jones. Whether that reputation is deserved or not is a question for another time. All of this is to say that short of moving into a convent the day she turned 18, there’s little that Frances could have done to escape the attention of the Gen-Xers who love her father’s music and the Milennials who love her style. Frances turned 24 yesterday, and despite some recent personal struggles (She divorced Isaiah Silva in March after just six months of marriage.) and a reputation for preferring the indoors (She is the First Daughter of the grunge movement, after all.) it appears that she decided to celebrate with a vacation in Hawaii: Cobain uploaded the above pic to her Instagram page (with the amazing handle of “space_witch666”) and it instantly racked up a ton of likes (nearly 24,000 so far) and sparked some intense debates over the meaning of her tattoos. Perhaps as a result of all she’s been through, fans seem to feel protective of FBC. (Rumors that Silva wanted to keep her father’s guitar after the divorce led to an uproar on social media.) As a result, her Instagram page is a mostly positive, supportive place. And thankfully, she seems to have grown into a stable, well-adjusted young woman. The girl is living proof that you can always make the choice to turn your back on a dark past and face the sun.

If You’re A Black Woman Working In Utah Beware

Black women don’t fare well economically nationwide, considering they still earn just .64 cents for every dollar a white man earns. But Utah ranks as one of the worst for Black women. There Black women receive just 60 cents for every dollar earned by white men…. “According to a study by the Washington, D.C.- based National Women’s Law Center, Black women in Utah can expect to lose $950,720 to the wage gap over the course of a 40-year career. It’s the 10th largest gap in the nation,” reported The Salt Lake Tribune. Breaking it down to hard cash, this means on average, a 40-year wage loss would amount to a whopping $877,480 or a loss of $21,937 a year… [ MadameNoire ] Black Women Continue To Face Racism In Catholic Church When Pursuing Religious Vocations This might not be talked about often, but entering the religious arena is a viable profession — for some. According to Shannen Dee Williams, Assistant Professor in the department of history at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, Black women face racism when they decide to pursue religious vocations. Women in general are sorely missing from the relational community. In fact, according to a national study done in 2010 by Faith Communities Today, only 12 percent of all congregations in the United States had a female as their senior or sole ordained leader. And according to Professor Williams, the percentage is even lower for Black women, especially in the Catholic faith… [ MadameNoire ] Remy Ma Spits A Hard Freestyle On Tony Touch’s Shade 45 Toca Tuesday Show Remy Ma got bars… With her verses on “All The Way Up” and the remix tearing up speakers across the country and her latest single with Fat Joe “Cookin” heating up, Remy and her better-half, Papoose, stopped by DJ Tony Touch’s Shade 45 radio show Toca Tuesdays and spit a venomous freestyle over Jay-Z’s “Where I’m From” instrumental. Remy utilized the slow flow to kick lines like “I ain’t even gotta try hard, these hoes diarrhea/they shit watery, get the f*ck outta here/they call me R-E-M-I-N-S-C-E, see me, I’m the best/all the rest, they all stressed/I got ‘em sittin’ on the bench, they all pressed…” [ HipHopWired ]
