Khloe Kardashian: Pregnant with First Child!!!!!!!!

Mere days after news that Kylie Jenner is pregnant practically brought down the Internet… and weeks after it was confirmed that Kim Kardashian is expecting baby number-three via surrogate… we can now announce the following: KHLOE KARDASHIAN IS ALSO PREGNANT! No, we are not kidding. No wonder Kris Jenner is intent on signing up her family as many seasons of reality television as E! will allow. Just think of how high the nanny bills will be in 2018! Khloe is expecting her first child with boyfriend Tristan Thompson, a power forward for the Cleveland Cavaliers who has been getting it on with Kardashian for about a year now. The relationship intensified toward the end of last year, with rumors of a wedding and, yes, a baby, often floating around the famous couple. The impending baby will be the first for Khloe, while Thompson actually welcomed a son named Prince Oliver with his ex-girlfriend Jordan Craig in December 2016. It is believed he left Craig for Kardashian. At 33 years old, Khloe has been open for years about her desire to procreate. She and ex-husband Lamar Odom allegedly had difficulty trying to conceive during their four-plus years of marriage, with Khloe often mentioning that she might try IVF in order to get pregnant. We can’t say for certain this time around whether or not Khloe needed outside help in order to get pregnant, although she has said in the past that she wants to get pregnant naturally . We don’t know how far along she is in her pregnancy, either. But we know she’s excited! “This is something Khloe has wanted for years and years and yet it’s more than that: she didn’t want it unless she was in the right relationship for it,” an insider tells People Magazine. “She never let it happen with Lamar, intentionally, and she never considered it with James or French or anyone else she has seen.” “But this is such a wonderful moment for her: not only is she going to be a mother, she is going to be raising a child with a man she truly loves. “Everyone is over the moon for them both.” Kardashian joked on the season 13 finale of Keeping Up with the Kardashians in June that her boyfriend would like to have enough kids to start his own basketball team. “He wants to have, like, five or six kids with me, and that’s lovely,” she said of the Cleveland Cavaliers star on the episode. “We could start at one and then grow from there. But now, knowing I’m not on birth control, it’s really scary. It’s like a really big step.” According to another insider close to the family, also via People, Kylie and Khloe are due around the same time: early next year. “They are looking at it like a unifying experience for them as sisters,” says this source close to the famous couple. “Getting pregnant at the same time was totally unplanned but they are really happy about it.” We have no idea what to even say about this, but we’ve always loved Khloe and we’re so very happy for her and Thompson. But THREE kids are about to be added to the Kardashian family?!?  Totally. Krazy. View Slideshow: Keeping Up with the Kardashians: 14 Shocking Secrets Revealed! Neither Khloe nor anyone in her family has commented on this very strong rumor/report just yet. We’ll pass along their thoughts when they make them public. For now, it’s YOUR turn to sound off: Are you happy for Khloe and Tristan?

Kim Kardashian Breaks Silence on Kylie Pregnancy

Kim Kardashian has become the first member of her family to speak on Kylie Jenner’s shocking pregnancy. Has she sent her sister best wishes? Confirmed the due date? Suggested baby names? Nope, nope and… would anyone really take advice from Kim on baby names anyway?!?  A few days after the Internet was rocked by the scoop that Kylie is pregnant with Travis Scott’s baby , Kim has come out and slammed a couple stories associated with this development. She’s basically labeled them as Fake News. First, there was the People Magazine article that alleged Kim was taken aback by her sibling’s big announcement. And not in the positive sense. This post quoted a source who said Kim “didn’t respond well at first” to Kylie’s pregnancy reveal. “Her reaction was, ‘Seriously?'” an insider told the outlet, adding: “It’s like she and Kanye had gone on this whole journey to get pregnant for months, and now this happens to Kylie. She teared up. It definitely took a lot of time for her to process it.” (Kim has been open about her difficult pregnancies and is using a surrogate to welcome a third child early next year.) In response to a Harper’s Bazaar Tweet about this report that’s captioned, “This sounds like a very awkward conversation..”, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star wrote: “This sounds like a very fake story… “.” On Monday, meanwhile, The Sun claimed that Caitlyn Jenner had confirmed Kyle’s expecting state by simply saying her daughter got knocked up “some time ago.” Another story alleged Caitlyn is unhappy about this development because she thinks Kylie is too young to be a mother. Has Caitlyn really expressed either of these sentiments? Not according to Kim Kardashian. “And speaking of fake stories… The media is super shady for posting fake quotes from Caitlyn when she hasn’t spoke to anyone,” she Tweeted. We appreciate Kim standing up for herself with the first response above and for her step-father with the second. But we can’t help but notice something else about these Tweets: They did not deny Kylie is pregnant. Granted, at this point, with so many reliable outlets, publications and sources confirming the news, there’s no real doubt about its legitimacy. Still, though. While Kim was aiming to shoot down some misleading narratives, she has also managed to confirm the most important story of all here: Kylie Jenner, at age 20, really is pregnant. View Slideshow: The Kardashians Confess: 15 Things You Didn’t Know About Us And that’s not all for the family! As previously noted, Kim and Kanye West are expecting a little girl via surrogate, reportedly in January. Moreover, Khloe Kardashian is also pregnant ! It’s incredible, but true, as news broke on Monday evening that Khloe and Tristan Thompson are expecting their first kid some time early next year. Just like Kylie – and just like Kim for her first pregnancy and Kourtney for all three of hers – Khloe is not married. She’s in a serious relationship and everything, but we’re still just saying. How come no one in this family can ever have a child in wedlock?!? Partial judgment aside, we’re extremely happy for Khloe. She has spoken candidly over the years about her trouble conceiving and her desire to start a family. It’s clear she loves Thompson a lot and it’s clear her future son or daughter will grow up in a healthy household. We hope the same holds true for Kylie. We have a few more doubts, considering her age and the tenuous state of her romance with Scott. But for all the reasons we criticize the Kardashians and Jenners, we try never to say a word about their children or their ability to parent. It’s a challenging job and they all seem to do the best they can with it. So… congrats to both Kylie and Khloe! We wish you well.

What A Shock: Kylie’s Fam Is 100% Happy That She’s Becoming A Rapper Baby Mama At Only 20 Years Old

Kardashian Family Is Happy About Kylie’s Pregnancy Despite Young Age The Kardashians are over the moon for knocked up Kylie, according to TMZ . Whereas most families would probably be just a little pissed if the baby girl of their family, with her whole life ahead of her at just 20 years old, popped up pregnant by some rapper guy she’s only been dating for four or five months. But not this family. They say Kylie’s been itching to get knocked up for at least the last two years — we guess shortly after she received her diploma from online high school — and now that it’s finally happened for herm they’re happy to have another grandkid in the crew. She supposedly never slid the condom off with Tyga because she didn’t think their relationship was stable enough for parenthood. Apparently, Travis shot up Kylie’s barely-legal cub within only 2 months of dating her. It’s not clear if the pregnancy was planned — at least not by both parties involved — but apparently, Kylie was instantly excited and hype to be a Mom. Not sure what Travis’ reaction was. Either way, the Jenner-Dashian clan feels like Kylie being only 20 is neither here nor there . They say she’s super mature, and since she has tons of cash, a thriving business, and owns several properties…her becoming an unwed mother before even hitting age 21 is of little concern. Funny how this family was far more stressed out when their 30-year-old brother/son revealed that he was an engaged father-to-be with someone he had known for years , yet ecstatic for this baby-woman who barely knows her child’s father. But we guess… Getty/Instagram

The Best Summer Movies & Shows From Summer ’17

Read the rest here:

Movie theaters had their worst summer in almost two decades, but there were still a couple of gems starring POC that either made big bucks at the box office. While the movie world struggled, TV fared much better. There was a knockout combination of series that got audiences hooked and returning favorites that were must-see TV every single week. We has rounded up the summer ’17 movies and TV shows that kept us entertained all season. Let us know if your picks made the cut! Girls Trip Source: Todd Williamson / Getty Let’s just start with the biggest success of the summer, Girls Trip . The absolutely hilarious ensemble comedy starring Jada Pinkett-Smith, Queen Latifah, Regina Hall and Tiffany Haddish not only kept audiences in stitches, but it did what Hollywood never expected it to do…make over $100 million at the box-office. With all of the horrible things going on in the country right now, this was the movie we needed to make us forget and laugh ‘til it hurts. The movie was so successful that a sequel is reportedly already in the works and we can’t wait to see what The Flossy Posse has up their sleeves on their next adventure! Power Source: Starz / Starz The Starz hit series Power returned for its drama and emotion-filled fourth season and kept summer ’17 on lock. The first half of the season saw Ghost behind bars for being wrongfully accused of murder, but that didn’t stop the action, as he still managed to handle his business from inside and ultimately become a free man. However, things got even more juicy once he was released and he had to deal with all of the people in his life and the drama they bring. Insecure Source: Barry King / Getty If Power is the summer’s best drama, then it’s pretty easy to guess what the best comedy is…and it stars the one and only Issa Rae. Insecure returned to TV screens (and the hearts of fans) this summer picking up right where it left off with the aftermath of Issa and Lawrence’s breakup. This season has been a whirlwind of emotions, sexual experiences (those failed and successful,) fights, laughs and all-around bad decisions. Every week it dominates social media and becomes the subject of conversation. It’s the show of the moment that so many relate to, which is why we are already looking forward to season three. When Love Kills Source: J. Countess / Getty All good movies aren’t always released in theaters, as evidenced by the late summer sleeper hit When Love Kills . The TV One original film was an unexpected surprise for fans and critics due to its incredible ratings and riveting performances. Starring Lil Mama and Lance Gross in the heartbreaking true story of Falicia Blakely, When Love Kills became the highest rated premiere in TV One history and dominated social media trending topics. Fans couldn’t help but marvel at the fantastic performances of both leads, as well as their chemistry. Which makes you wonder why this film wasn’t released in theaters where it could have made an even greater impact? Queen Sugar Source: Donna Ward / Getty The Bordelon family returned for season two of the OWN hit series Queen Sugar and did not disappoint. There were fights over land, breakups, makeups, power struggles and jaw-dropping revelations, which is exactly why we love this show. What makes Queen Sugar so good is that the family, the characters, feel real, like they are part of your own family. They’re not overly glamorized or disconnected and the credit for that goes to the lovely Ava DuVernay. Unfortunately, fans only got the first half of season two this summer, which left off on a sweet note, but don’t worry because the second half is coming this October with a bang. Detroit Source: Aaron J. Thornton / Getty It may not have made waves at the box-office, but the critical acclaim and potential awards talk that Detroit received makes it a deserving entry on our list. Starring Algee Smith (of BET’S The New Edition Story ,) Anthony Mackie, John Boyega and Will Poulter, the Kathryn Bigelow-directed film is about the gut-wrenching true story of the Algiers Motel incident during Detroit’s 1967 12 th Street Riot. The performances are powerful, as is the subject matter and hopefully the film will be recognized during awards season. If you haven’t seen it yet, do yourself a favor and check it out. Claws Source: Jerritt Clark / Getty What do you get when you combine the perfect mix of comedy and drama into a series? Well, that would be the Niecy Nash, TNT series Claws . Set in Florida amongst the underground world of the Dixie mafia and the flash of a nail salon, Claws is quirky, crazy, bloody, absurd, suspenseful and downright hilarious. It’s the show you never knew you needed, but can’t understand how you went without it for so long. A second season has been green lit, so start clearing your summer ’18 schedule now! Snowfall Source: Matthew Eisman / Getty The crack epidemic of the 80s is the basis for this drama series from acclaimed director John Singleton and it’s very well done. Snowfall takes the approach of many classic TV dramas of the past, opting to build the series and the characters slowly instead of the epic fast pace that most shows operate with these days. It’s a slow burn if you will, but if you stay with it you will be completely enthralled with this show. For a summer freshman series, the ratings have been solid, the reviews even better, which explains why a second season is coming your way to continue the story and witness the rise of a kingpin.

Kylie Jenner: Is She Kim Kardashian’s Surrogate?!

Countless conspiracy theories have captured our nation’s imagination over the years. Was the moon landing fake? Did the CIA collaborate with a foreign government to assassinate JFK? What sort of hallucinogens did network execs to believe it was possible for Megyn Kelly to rebrand herself as Fun Time Morning Meg? All important questions, to be sure, but none of them will impact future generations quite as much as the goings-on within Kylie Jenner’s uterus. In case the cave you’re living in on Mars doesn’t have reliable wi-fi, allow us to fill you in on the news that rocked the celebrity gossip world last week: Kylie Jenner is pregnant , and her fans are triggered, and they can’t even, but they’re also like, “YAAAAS, KWEEN!!!” Are we doing this Millennial slang thing right? Anyway, the announcement came on the heels of news that Kim Kardashian is expecting a third child via surrogate . Not surprisingly, it didn’t take long before one of social media’s sharpest sleuths deduced (possibly while very stoned) that Kylie might be carrying Kim and Kanye’s child! Here’s the thing about this particular theory: We suppose it’s remotely possible … but it’s also profoundly stupid. For one thing, a number of biographical details about Kim’s surrogate have already been released. We know that she’s a married, African-American mother of two in her late twenties who lives in San Diego and has been a surrogate in the past. Since none of those things can be said of Kylie, we assume it’s safe to say that Kim didn’t hire her 20-year-old sister to  Actually, we’re pretty sure that was safe to say from the get-go. But this is 2017, a time in which many people operate under the belief that the most amusing explanation is probably the most accurate. As a result, the “Kylie is Kim’s surrogate” theory spread across social media with surprising speed. Is it nonsense? Of course it is! But as long as there’s the slightest possibility that it could be true, it’ll circulate on Twitter until the End Times. After all, this is the same internet that hears Alex Jones screaming that the Sandy Hook massacre was a hoax and Hillary Clinton is a literal lizard person from another planet, and encourages him to elaborate on his lunatic ramblings. Compared to psycho ravings like that, a tweet about Kylie carrying her sister’s baby seems pretty damn believable. We live in interesting times, folks.

Fixer Upper to (GASP!) End After Season 5

Chip and Jo are saying it IS so: This beloved couple has announced it will be ending Fixer Upper after five seasons. Following bits of speculation over the future of their show , the Gaines confirmed via their official blog today that the most popular series on HGTV is coming to an end.  “It is with both sadness and expectation that we share the news that season 5 of Fixer Upper will be our last,” Chip and Joanna said, adding: “While we are confident that this is the right choice for us, it has for sure not been an easy one to come to terms with. Our family has grown up alongside yours, and we have felt you rooting us on from the other side of the screen. “How bittersweet to say goodbye to the very thing that introduced us all in the first place.” The parents of four went on to say their time on television has been “an amazing adventure,” as they’ve poured everything they have into this program. Fixer Upper features Chip and Joanna helping clients find a home that needs a lot of renovation. Chip is in charge of the construction, while Joanna takes lead on the interior design. As is the case with so many real estate-themed shows, there’s some addictive about watching this makeover process play out… but it’s been the chemistry between Chip and Joanna that has resulted in such impressive ratings. Explained the HGTV stars as part of their announcement: “We would be foolish to think we can go and go and fire on all cylinders and never stop to pause. Our family is healthy and our marriage has honestly never been stronger. “This has nothing to do with a fraudulent skincare line or anything else you’ll inevitably read. This is just us recognizing that we need to catch our breath for a moment. “Our plan is to take this time to shore up and strengthen the spots that are weak, rest the places that are tired and give lots of love and attention to both our family and our businesses.” The couple has run into a handful of controversies of the years. Toward the end of 2016, for example, Chip and Joanna were unfairly implicated in a scandal that centered on their pastor seemingly pushing for gay conversion therapy . A few months later, Chip was accused of fraud by his former business partners. Then, just recently, a few Christians somehow gave the Gaines grief for agreeing on a deal with Target because that company has spoken out in favor of transgender rights. Despite some of these hiccups, Fixer Upper has remained the most-watched show on HGTV. As you can see by some of these responses, not every viewer is taking this news well: Concludes Chip and Joanna on their blog: “We will forever be thankful for HGTV and this opportunity of a lifetime. “We are also thankful to our production company, Highnoon Entertainment and our amazing producers and crew on the ground here in Waco. We are grateful for them and for you. Thank you for sharing life with us and for the continued support. “Thank you for having our backs! “Thank you for caring about these homes and these families and the things that we care so much about.” We’d say a few words ourselves, but we’re having some trouble keeping it together here. Please talk amongst yourselves until we calm down. View Slideshow: HGTV Shows: RANKED!

Audrina Patridge: I Want Corey Bohan OUT of My House! He’s Unstable!

When news first broke that former The Hills stars  Audrina Patridge and Corey Bohan had split , some despaired. Others saw it as confirmation that reality TV couples just can’t last. It was the abuse accusations that Audrina has leveled against Corey that has people much more concerned. We were understandably alarmed to hear that there’s been a new incident, but Audrina and Corey are telling very different stories. Audrina Patridge’s abuse claims against Corey Bohan are, frankly, disturbing. Corey is accused of primarily emotional abuse, displaying anger issues and instability that at the very least make him a potential danger to himself. According to Audrina, he has even shoved her while she was holding their baby daughter, Kirra. Corey has reportedly also done things like empty out Audrina’s purse and harm himself in her presence, effectively blackmailing her into staying with him or he’ll “do worse.” Based upon that, a divorce sounds like absolutely the right call. They were together for 9 years and got married last November, so we are anxious to know if this had been going on in a gradually escalating manner all along … or if this is an altogether new behavior that manifested since they were married. We wonder if there’s some newly emerged medical issue that could be driving this … but either way, this couple shouldn’t be together. Unfortunately, when you’ve been an item for almost an entire decade, it’s difficult to extricate yourselves from each other’s lives. For example, they’ve been living in the same house … which is what brought them into conflict. Thus, this new incident. Entertainment Tonight obtained court documents that show both Audrina and Corey’s versions of what happened. What they can both agree on? Audrina and her father, Mark, returned to Audrina’s home in Irvine, California with the intention of collecting Audrina’s belongings. Within the court documents, Audrina alleges that Corey is “holding all of my personal possessions and my home hostage.” Audrina has stated that the house in which the couple lived was hers prior to their marriage. More than that, the two apparently have a prenup agreement that confirms that yes, Audrina is the sole owner of the house and will remain that. But, presumably because she is the one who fled from the home with Kirra and took up temporary residence at the home of her parents, a judge denied Audrina’s request to have Corey removed from her house. (Which sounds super unfair, but I imagine that laws are structured to make it difficult for one spouse to render the other homeless during a dispute — just a guess, though) When Audrina went with her parents, Corey allegedly cursed her out — part of a pattern that she has described in which he uses expletives and yells and cannot seem to keep from doing so in front of their baby. Audrina also accuses Corey of having installed additional surveillance devices in her house. (If you’ll recall, Audrina’s initial claims when they split and she sought a restraining order mentioned that part of Corey’s emotional abuse involved installing cameras in their home that he used to spy on her) She is once again imploring the court to remove Corey from her home. Corey’s side claims that Audrina and her family “literally barging in the house through the garage door” with only 15 minutes of notice. He says that he’d asked them to arrange a time when he wouldn’t be there. He claims that he hasn’t installed any new surveillance devices, that the only cameras are a nanny cam in the living room and a camera by the front door.  Corey claims that he did not yell or curse but merely “spoke calmly” to the Patridges, and says that Audrina’s father, Mark, was trying to instigate a fight. No matter what you believe about this couple and their conflicts, no part of this sounds good. View Slideshow: 14 Most Toxic Relationships in Reality TV History

Rasheeda Frost Actually Dumps Husband! Finally!

At long last, it is over between Kirk Frost and Rasheeda Frost. Following several months of rumors and innuendos, along with near-confirmation that Kirk both cheated on her and impregnated his mistress, the Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star has finally seen the light. Appearing on radio show Dish Nation on Monday, Rasheeda revealed to hosts Gary with da Tea and Porsha Williams that she and Kirk are taking a long break. “We’re separated, and we’re working on making sure that we’re doing everything that we need to do for our family,” she said. Rasheeda and Kirk share two kids together, a  four-year old son named Karter and a 16-year old son named Ky. “We are parenting very well,” the VH1 star added, emphasizing of herself and her estranged husband: “We have good communication. Two people trying to figure out the best thing to do for our children as far as making them comfortable, as far as him and I, that’s just what it is.” News of this couple’s split really should not come as a surprise to anyone who has been following their saga on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta. A significant portion of last season was dedicated to the rumor that Kirk knocked up Jasmine Washington . The star himself denied fathering Washington’s son, who was born last summer, while many wondered whether this storyline was concocted by producers because Jasmine was suddenly a full-time cast member on the series this past spring. Whether or not Kirk cheated on Rasheeda with Washington, however, there’s no denying the fact that he has cheated on Rasheeda in the past. Frost himself has admitted as much . Still, Rasheea had stood by her man . “Rasheeda should be able to see through his excuses but with Kirk she never sees clearly,” an insider told Hollywood Life in July, adding at the time: “At the end of the day, she wants so badly to believe him. “She still can’t wrap her head around him having a baby behind her back, she just can’t accept that he would lie to her that way.” Will the Frosts ever reconcile? You never know. They have been married for 17 years. That’s a very long time and strong feelings linger. “I love Rasheeda to death,” Kirk said on the show’s reunion special this summer. “That is my soulmate. When you get yourself in a situation, you just get there. I just pray that it gets better.” He’ll need to do a lot more than pray at this point. He’ll need to buy out every florist in the area… and then some! You stay strong and you do you, Rasheeda. You deserve better. View Slideshow: Love & Hip Hop Cast Rankings: Who Can Actually Sing?

Vicki Gunvalson Mocked for Illness By Co-Stars: She’s Just Dramatic!

Why are they like this? A number of the cast members on The Real Housewives of Orange County can be real pieces of work, and Vicki Gunvalson is no exception. But nobody deserves to be mocked for being sick. In trying to poke fun at their frenemy for her malady, Tamra Judge, Shannon Beador, and Meghan Edmonds mostly just revealed their ignorance and insensitivity for the whole world to see. Again. If you read our latest  The Real Housewives of Orange County recap , you know that in addition to talk of forgiving Kelly and some of the usual factional talk, there was a lot of talk about health. Well … a lot of that was about plastic surgery, but not all of it. One small portion of the episode involved Vicki Gunvalson informing her frenemies that she was sick. Specifically, she announced that she had Influenza B. This announcement triggered a flurry of insults as Tamra, Shannon, and Meghan jumped at the chance to ridicule Vicki. Tamra, of course, resents Vicki for spreading gay rumors about her husband . Shannon Beador  blamed Vicki Gunvalson for making her fat , and Vicki’s shared some nasty rumors about her marriage, as well. Meghan Edmonds asked: “How does she know what letter it is? … She got tested because she thought it was C or A? ” A lot of rich people, particularly those who are older, have great insurance and don’t mind copays and would rather know what’s wrong with them than just suffer through it. And, oh by the way, Vicki — like the rest of her castmates — isn’t as young as she used to be. Illnesses can get more serious as you age. But Meghan continued. “Like why do you get it tested? All you do is you deal with it and you get better.” Look, that’s how most of us deal with getting sick. (Honestly, even if I had the resources of a Real Housewife, I would still probably just stay in bed with blankets and broth) But it’s usually considered the smart thing to: -go to the doctor -get tested -get official medical advice and get medication either recommended or prescribed to suit your precise needs Tamra Judge, who hasn’t been anything close to a friend of Vicki’s for a long, long time, keeps the criticism going. “She’s very dramatic.” Yes … literally all of them are, or they wouldn’t be on a Real Housewives show. But unless there was some off-camera lamenting on Vicki’s part that this flu was going to be the end of her, her dramatic tendencies aren’t relevant. But Meghan Edmonds continued: “The text is going to say ‘I’m dramatic as f–k and I have to make it as bad as it can possibly sound, so I’m going to put a letter next to influenza.'” Shannon Beador does her best to “burn” Vicki under the circumstances: “She’s not Vicki anymore. Her name is ‘victim.'” Uh … nice try, Shannon. Look, we’re not the sort to rush to Vicki’s defense, but these three were making total asses of themselves and we’re not going to pretend that they weren’t. Unlike Influenza A, which tends to strike during the winter months, Influenza B can infect people and cause them to develop flu symptoms throughout the year. Most of us think of the flu as an inconvenience, but Influenza B specifically is acknowledges as a potentially fatal disease that claims lives all around the globe every single year. And that’s despite a slower mutation rate than Influenza A (which means that Influenza B has a harder time adapting) If you’re still wondering why, aside from idle curiosity or even just being specific, it matters that Vicki Gunvalson got Influenza B … … Influenza B can have a particularly harsh impact on children and adolescents. Knowing that she has Influenza B might cause her to avoid contact with children even more carefully. And, again, knowing exactly what makes you sick shouldn’t be mocked. It’s just useful information. Sometimes when you reach too hard for a way to put down someone else, you just look like a fool.

The rest is here:
