Kris Jenner Sounds BONKERS on Camera: Watch!

There's so much to process in this clip. We're talking about a show where only one or two things happen each season, basically. But this preview takes you on a journey. And makes you cringe. There are monkey noises . We've already shown you Kendall Jenner freaking out over Caitlyn's memoir. Would it really be a Keeping Up With The Kardashians clip if it didn't have some awkwardness, some affectionate racism, and at least one of them acting absolutely nuts? Let's go through it, because there's a lot to unpack. Okay, so Keeping Up With The Kardashians  shows Kris hanging out with Corey Gamble , Kim, and Khloe Kardashian , while on vacation in Jamaica. On its own, that's a pretty run-of-the-mill rich people thing to do. You don't have to be rich to go on vacation, to Jamaica or otherwise, but wealth is a requirement if you want to vacation like this family does. Though … if you already live in a desert climate like California, it's sort of odd that you'd go to yet another hot place to vacation, but whatever. If the Kardashians made sense, no one would watch them anyway, right? So even this short clip serves as a reminder that their taste in humor is . . . questionable at best. So it's not one of the “mon” jokes, but Kim's “Jamaica No Problem” shirt has us smacking our damn heads. Fun fact: it's generally considered tasteless and even rude to parody the way that people speak, especially when you're talking about a disenfranchised minority or culture. Naturally, Khloe makes it worse by suggesting that she could wear a shirt that says “Jamaican Me Crazy.” Get it? Because we all get it. Even if it weren't problematic, it would just be a bad joke. It's a bad joke, Khloe. We don't expect for either of them to find out why their behavior makes others uncomfortable. They live in a bubble. Kim then diverts attention to her favorite topic — Kim — by not-so-subtly kicking her leg into the air. You'll notice a teeny-tiny pink bug bite on her leg. Don't get us wrong, bug bites are no fun, but most people treat them with a topical antihistamine if at all. Apparently the Kardashians use, um, alternative medicine: water from a lagoon. We'll stick with actual medicines. No offense. Kim then demands to know if Kris Jenner is acting as some sort of snake oil salesman and, instead of giving her mineral water to use, is giving her something way, way grosser and less sanitary. She straight-up asks Kris if the water that she's been giving her is her toilet water, as if that's something that anyone but an absolute monster would give to their child. Yes, there are stories of people using … ugh … urine to treat wounds, especially on the beach, but it's usually not a good idea and in some cases can lead to infections. Turns out that modern medicine usually knows better than old wives tales. Who knew? Last but not least: the monkey nonsense. You have to wonder a couple of things — the first being if this show has just desperate for storyline. Countless hours are always left on the editing room floor — though not literally, since everything's digital — but somehow this nonsense made it in? But the other thing that you have to wonder if what the hell Kris Jenner herself was thinking? Like, this would be fine if she were entertaining her grandchildren. She isn't, though. She's around a bunch of grown-ass adults and she knows that she's on camera. Has she just given up? You'll have to watch it for yourself to decide that.

The Bachelorette: Will First Impression Rose Win Streak Continue!?

The Bachelorette’s streak of First Impression Rose winners from the premiere going on to win the show remarkably stands at … well, two. But those are the only two to do it! Will this season’s lucky fella make it a threepeat? ( The Bachelorette spoilers have a lot to say on that, but we’ll keep you in suspense.) For a time, this first rose of a new season was more like a kiss of death than a harbinger of success, as its recipients never went anywhere.  That’s changed quite a lot since 2014. Nick Viall came close, winning Andi Dorfman’s First Impression Rose in Season 10 before coming oh-so-close to winning the finale. The next season, Shawn Booth became the first recipient of the inaugural rose to capture the final one, as well, from Kaitlyn Bristowe. (Also defeating Nick on the finale.) This had never been accomplished before, someone going wire to wire like that, but last summer, recent history repeated itself. Jordan Rodgers, a consensus frontrunner throughout the journey, garnered the first and last roses on JoJo Fletcher’s season. Can Rachel Lindsay make it three in a row? Or more accurately, can Bryan Abasolo, who caught her eye on last Monday’s premiere? Booth, who remains engaged to Bristowe two summers after their on-air engagement, says he wouldn’t bet on that outcome. “The guy that got the first impression rose … I’m willing to bet a lot of money that he will not be the winner of the season,” he predicted. “Jordan [Rodgers] got the first impression rose on JoJo Fletcher’s season, I got the first impression rose the season before.” “We both went on to ‘win.’ Do you think that there’s any chance that the producers will let that happen again? There’s no way.” Really? There’s no way the show’s producers would allow Rachel Lindsay’s free will to follow through if she found love at first sight? Seems a little extreme. If you feel a connection right away, there’s probably a reason for that. It might not last … but it also might last! It’s unclear why Shawn seems to think producers wouldn’t permit this, especially for a stand-up guy like Bryan Abasolo seems to be. If this were Lucas a.k.a. Whaboom, or DeMario Jackson , that would be one thing, but Bryan could well be who Rachel Lindsay picks .   Not that he’s a lock. “I like that guy from Wisconsin … Peter,” says Booth, referring to Peter Kraus, who really stood out from the competition this week. “He was great,” added Bristowe. “That’s because they played the romantic music when he came out, so all of a sudden we’re brainwashed.” On their podcast, Kaitlyn and Shawn admit that watching their love story unfold on TV was awkward … but they love seeing other people’s! Picking and choosing this season’s contenders and pretenders and trying to predict who will win The Bachelorette like we do is just fun. Which category does Lucas fit in? “Whaboom is so happy we’re talking about him,” says Kait. “He is so happy the world is talking about him.” “I feel like that’s why he went there.” “He’s selling t-shirts,” says Booth. “I’ll buy one,” Bristowe adds. They may be onto something there. Going on reality TV for the exposure and a chance to make a living, rather than to find true love? Who would’ve guessed.

Apollo Nida to Phaedra Parks: Tear Up Our Prenup! Gimme Some Loot!

Every reality series thrives on drama, and Real Housewives is no exception. Real Housewives Of Atlanta star Phaedra Parks is getting her share of drama … but it’s of the courtroom variety. That doesn’t always translate well to reality TV’s ever-present cameras, especially when one of the parties is behind bars. But legal drama is always a treat to follow. Even if we don’t know how much of this can make it onto the small screen. Apollo Nida and Phaedra have a prenup, but we can get to that in a moment because that is its own thing. So, just a few days before the couple got married back in 2009, Apollo and Phaedra signed a prenup. Apparently, in addition to an agreement on how to divide their shared property, the prenup specified that neither of them would receive alimony in the event of a divorce. Sounds simple, right? We don’t have the luxury of looking over their detailed financial histories, but it stands to reason that, when they got married, Apollo was confident that he’d be the one paying alimony if the two of them ever split. The guy’s in prison for money fraud, so he probably believed all sorts of things about wealth. As it turns out, crime doesn’t always pay. Who knew? Well, now TMZ reports that Apollo Nida wants his and Phaedra’s prenup voided . Because of course he does. It sounds like Apollo legal troubles — to put it mildly — have adversely impacted his finances, and like he’s hoping to be supported by his ex, Phaedra. It wasn’t long at all after their marriage that Phaedra was cast on RHOA, and that must have turned their financial situation on its head in the best way. Except, of course, Phaedra’s not interested. Just because she became the breadwinner while his life collapsed doesn’t mean that she owes him a thing, and she wants the prenup upheld. Obviously. We have to talk about prenups themselves, though. Sometimes they’re a great idea — to prevent, like, nightmare universe versions of Cinderella from marrying rich and then filing for divorce in a quick grab for half of somebody’s assets. They’re usually assumed to be legal tools to “protect” husbands from manipulative femme fatales, but that’s because men are generally valued by their success while women are in so many cases still valued by their looks. Isn’t sexism fun? But it looks like those sexist stereotypes and how they must have influenced his own assumptions are coming back to bite Apollo Nida in the you-know-where, because Phaedra’s the one rolling in dough. There’s no sure way to know how this case is going to end — there’s some extra drama around Phaedra spelling Apollo’s name wrong on the prenup , so for the first time ever, your kindergarten teacher’s insistence that correct spelling matters is actually sounding kinda real. But it seems to us that a prenup is a binding contract. Unless it was made under duress or false pretenses, and it doesn’t sound like either of those were the case, shouldn’t it be every bit as ironclad as Phaedra believes it to be? Legal cases can surprise you, though. We may never know the whole story with this messy pair of exes. Maybe if Apollo had spent less time on money fraud and more time working on his relationship with his wife, he wouldn’t need a court battle to enjoy some of her wealth.

Peter Bjorn And John Return With Live, Loose Gimme Some

The ‘Young Folks’ hitmakers’ latest album aims to capture their ‘punky and energetic’ live sound. By James Montgomery Peter Bjorn and John Photo: V2 Music Scandinavia On Tuesday, Swedish hookmeisters Peter Bjorn and John return to stores with Gimme Some, their sixth full-length and their third since they became internationally famous (and poster children for whistlers everywhere) with their hit “Young Folks.” Of course, given the rather stiff competition PB&J face here in the states — Gimme Some has the relative misfortune of being released against both Britney Spears’ Femme Fatale and Wiz Khalifa’s Rolling Papers — the guys aren’t optimistic about their album’s chart-topping chances. “Our chances are probably not so good. I don’t know,” Peter Mor
