GiGi Wu was known as the Bikini Climber by her fans all over the world. Tragically, after a serious fall on her latest and final hike, she was unable to walk or even move. Wu died before rescue could arrive. Fans all over the world are mourning. GiGi Wu was a 36-year-old Taiwanese woman known as the “Bikini Climber.” She earned this moniker from her famous habit of mountain-climbing while wearing a bikini. Her latest adventure was a 25-day hike. It would also be her last. Taiwan News reports that Wu sutmbled and fell into a ravine in Central Taiwan’s Yushan Mountain. She dropped 65 feet. The injuries to Wu’s leg were severe enough that she was unable to walk or even move. She was able to call for help … but unfortunately, it wasn’t enough. Rescuers were unable to reach her for some time due to dangerous weather conditions. It was nearly 28 hours later when rescuers were able to airlift her out of the ravine. Tragically, Wu was pronounced dead. Her cause of death has not yet been confirmed. Many have (not unreasonably) assumed that Wu died from exposure to the elements. More than a day out in the cold could be bad on anyone. Spending more than a day injured in a ravine, underdressed, in weather too dangerous for rescuers to reach you? That sounds horrifying. We should also keep in mind that her serious injuries would have been a strong contributing factor. GiGi Wu’s story and photos touched the hearts and minds of counltess climbing enthusiasts all over the world. When the news of her death first broke, the comments on her photos on Facebook were flooded with comments. “Thank you for bringing us countless beautiful scenery, blessings to your soul,” writes one mourner. “In the eyes of people who like climbing, you are a standard, professional climber, admirable!” comments another. That same commenter concludes: “Be an angel in your favorite mountain forest.” Those are some truly beautiful, heartwarming sentiments. There is no method of climbing mountains or hiking that is entirely risk-free. There are, however, steps to mitigate your risks and dangers. Usually, the best tool that you can have in your belt is experience. Wu had no shortage of that. Remember, this tragedy took place during a 25-day hike . We do not know what sort of equipment she may have had (aside from her bikini) with her, but it is almost impossible to “prepare” for a deadly fall. Everything about this story is heartbreaking. Our thoughts go out to Wu’s friends, family, loved ones, and to her fans. They are all grieving and mourning at this time as they grapple with this sudden loss, and the concept of Wu’s final hours.
Marriage is complicated. Throw in a time limit, an international move, cultural differences, and sudden reality stardom, and you have a recipe for drama. Sometimes, you have a recipe for disaster — real world, scary disaster. Leida Margaretha accused Eric Rosenbrook of abuse and the couple called the police. Since then, we have learned a lot more about the alleged incident — both sides have confirmed aspects of the story. 1. This is serious On January 20, 2019, Leida and Eric were visited by police. It was very early Sunday morning, and the married 90 Day Fiance couple had just had a fight. 2. Leida accused Eric of domestic violence In a series of “leaked” messages, Leida claimed that Eric had pulled her hair painfully — and that wasn’t the most upsetting part. 3. Read Leida’s words for yourself As you can see, she says that she had thratened suicide, but that Eric had taken the knife from her — it was after this, Leida writes, that he abused her. 4. She says she doesn’t want to live with him anymore These text messages were “leaked” — we’ll get into that later. 5. Then Eric shared his side Eric acknowledges much of what happened, saying that he was focused on saving her life, and essentially that he got carried away. 6. Abuse is never acceptable Eric may have explained why he went too far and pulled her hair, but that is not an excuse. We hope that both he and Leida know this. View Slideshow
Tamra Judge wants to make something abundantly clear: She is a strong supporter of the LGBT community. What has driven The Real Housewives of Orange County star make this point as precisely as possible? Because not only did her son go on a homophobic rant last week that included the call for a transgender individual to be murdered… … but Judge also Liked one of the posts include by her son, Ryan, in this diatribe. Back on January 17, the 33-year old brought up someone who sued a Colorado baker for refusing to make a cake celebrating this person’s gender transition. “Hopefully this guy goes on a rampage and kills whatever transgendered f-ck head took him to court. Ooops did I just say that,” Ryan Tweeted in response to the story. Ryan later added that this “country needs to kill off this f-ckery bullshit” and said: “You want to be transgender cool that’s your life but don’t push your transgender bullsh-t on me or America.” View Slideshow: Tamra Judge’s Son Pushes for Murder of a “Transgendered F-ck Head” We recapped Ryan’s heinous words above, but his Tweet storm included a link to a story about a transgender couple in Great Britain who is transitioning its five-year old child. Judge Liked this post and wrote along with her button-push: “Wow, that’s sad. 5-year-old cannot make a decision like that.” Many social media users interpreted this Like and this remark as support for her son’s views, something the veteran Bravo star did NOT attend, she now explains. Tamra and son Ryan are pictured here in a scene from an old episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County. “I’d like to address the many comments regarding my son Ryan’s posts on Instagram,” wrote Judge to open a lengthy caption, which she included along with the Martin Luther King Jr. photo/quote below. “I have been extremely upset my son would post such a thing. A post that I did NOT see because he took it down immediately knowing it was WRONG,” she added. Why did she remark on the story about that British couple? “Admittedly, I had a concerned “mom” moment when referring to a post about a 5-year-old making life altering decisions. My comment did not come from a place of hate,” she said on Instagram yesterday. Ryan is the 33-year old son of Tamra and ex-husband Darren Vieth. She gave birth to him at the age of 18 and has tried to stick by him through a handful of trying situations. For example: He was arrested in 2015 on a charge of domestic abuse against his girlfriend. “I’ve encouraged Ryan to make his own amends but in the meantime, I’m extremely sorry, His words were harsh & unacceptable,” Judge wrote here of her child, concluding: “I have nothing but love & respect for the LGBTQ community….always have always will. I will continue 2019 with a renewal of peace, wellness & love for all.” Tamra shares three other children with her ex, Simon Barney: daughters Sidney, 20, and Sophia, 13, and son Spencer, 18. The reality star married Eddie Judge in June of 2013. Do you accept her apology in this case? Or do you think Tamra is full of it and still deserving of scorn?
Jenelle Evans has a lot on her plate these days. Obviously, the controversial Teen Mom 2 star is no stranger to feuding with her castmates, but these days she's fighting a war on multiple fronts. In addition to her ongoing feud with Kailyn Lowry , Jenelle has now incurred the wrath of Amber Portwood. And thus far, the Teen Mom OG star has proven to be quite a formidable opponent. Amber already let loose on Jenelle in one epic Instagram rant, and now she's blessed us with another blistering tirade. Jenelle's responses have been so weak up to this point that we're beginning to suspect she knows she's outmatched. Take a look: 1. Going Off Last week, Amber shredded Jenelle in a rant that touched on everything from Evans’ attempts to act tough to her husband’s threats of violence against women. 2. Starting Off Strong Amber kicked things off last week by deriding David as a “disgusting clown.” Believe it or not, things only got worse from there. 3. Not Holding Back For more than 18 minutes, Amber unloaded on David, calling him “a punk, and you’re a p-ssy” and encouraging him to try and fight her husband. 4. Fightin’ Words And of course, Amber had some strong words for Jenelle, as well. 5. Jenelle Claps Back Not surprisingly, it wasn’t long before Jenelle responded to Amber’s taunts. 6. Yep, That’s What Happened “You’re over here making fun of my husband and calling him a clown and sh-t,” Jenelle ranted. View Slideshow
If you’ve been keeping up with The Bachelor Spoilers , you know Colton’s final choice. But he made a lot of decisions before the finale. On this week’s episode of The Bachelor , some drama between two of Colton’s contestants left the leading man unsure of whom to believe. And that only how the episode began … and ended. For the week’s first group date, the women are costumed as swashbuckling pirates. Katie, Heather, Hannah B., Courtney, Kirpa, Tracy, Demi, and Caelynn all got into costume. Viewers did get a kick out of hearing them all refer to Colton as “captain” for the evening. While the purpose is not explained, maybe it gave Caelynn — Miss North Carolina 2018 — a home field advantage. NC’s coast was Blackbeard’s favorite haunt, and Caelynn certainly caught Colton’s eye. Hannah Brown, on the other hand, did not love seeing him give her rival all of that attention. Demi Burnett was living her best life as a pirate and really got into the role. “The job of a pirate is to steal and I’m here to steal Colton’s heart,” Demi announced. She joked: “I don’t want to be another one of those yo-ho-hos.” Hannah B, on the other hand, felt her insecurities come out. “It’s a little frustrating to watch Caelynn engage with Colton right in front of me,” Hannah admitted. Hannah Brown is Miss Alabama, and watching Miss North Carolina excel did not sit well with her. “I’m trying my hardest to not get upset but then Caelynn is just everywhere,” Hannah lamented. “I didn’t come here to compete in another pageant,” she said. “Honestly, this sucks.” Whatever that pirate contest was, Caelynn won it, and Colton gave her a congratulatory kiss. “You’ve got to be kidding me,” Hannah bemoaned. “It’s not easy to see Caelynn moving forward with Colton.” “It brings out all of my insecurities and I start to spiral,” she admitted. “If Colton knew the truth about Caelynn,” Hannah B guessed. “I think he would feel differently about her.” Hannah B decided to confront Colton about Caelynn during the cocktail portion of their date. Note to all The Bachelor hopefuls: trying to undercut your competition always, always makes you look like the bad guy. “I was just in a high-stress situation with her and it was like the most hostile environment I’ve ever been in,” she told Colton. She continued: “It’s hard because it’s like, if that’s what you want, you don’t want me.” Perhaps due to how flustered and insecure she felt, Hannah B didn’t really communicate very well with Colton. This left him feeling frustrated and perhaps a little annoyed — she actually had to ask him for a kiss at the end of their chat. Yikes. To make matters worse for Hannah B, Colton then made a beeline for Caelynn to hear her side of the story. Caelynn was blindsided and cried. She confessed to Colton that she hadn’t planned on addressing her past at that time. So Colton presented her with the Group Date Rose. “I want you to know that I like you a lot,” Colton assured Caelynn. “And it’s about our time together and our connection.” Then there was Colton’s one-on-one date with Elyse. Their date isn’t exactly romantic — a lot of viewers were reminded of babysitting, even if it’s for a great cause. Colton does charity work with kids who are hospitalized, and he and Elyse go on some fair rides with ten children. Elyse does praise that seeing Colton be so good with kids is “the sexiest thing ever.” She also opens up about her life, and the two of them get to bond despite their (gasp) 5-year age gap. Elyse gets the rose. For the second group date, Colton once again has his heaving man-bosom on display. Tayshia, Nina, Catherine, Sydney, Onyeka, Cassie, Nicole, and Caitlin join him for a workout class. On the one hand, most people would rather be pirates than sweat in front of the guy they’re dating and the viewers at home. On the other hand, Colton’s tatas are out as a feast for their eyes. That’s fair. “We pull up and Colton is waiting for us topless,” Caitlin said. “Which is a really nice sight.” Terry Crews, who is always a delight, and his wife Rebecca were there to help Colton in his quest to identify his “strong woman.” We joked about Caelynn having an advantage, but with this group date, some women quickly stood out from the rest. Sydney is a dancer, Onyeka is a track star, and Catherine knows karate. Onyeka gets the “strongest woman” trophy. Then it’s time for the cocktail portion and to lounge by the pool. “I feel like I’ve kind of been slipping behind a little bit,” Caitlin admitted. “Because we got sent home on the last group date.” But when she actually gets some one-on-one time with Colton, she falters. He asks her what she’s looking for in a man, and she says someone who’s happy to have a silly evening with her and her friends. Colton just about has an out-of-body experience out of sheer boredom with her answer. Then, Caitlin confesses that her life has been pretty chill so far, so she doesn’t have anything major to spill to him. Colton goes ahead and sends her home because he doesn’t feel much of a spark. The Caelynn drama with Hannah Brown isn’t over, though. Colton speaks to both women, who both paint unflattering (but vague) portraits of their former frenemies. “I feel like I’m going around and round in circles,” Colton said. “I don’t know what to believe.” “I’m frustrated because I still don’t understand this,” he confesses to an unseen producer. “The last thing I wanted to do today was spend all day at the pool party talking about this,” he said. “I’m not getting clarity at all.” Since Caelynn had received the group date rose, Hannah B gets a rose. Bri, Catherine, and Nina get sent home. View Slideshow: The Bachelor Spoilers: Colton’s Choice, Stunning Final Rose Aftermath REVEALED! [Updated]
To be clear up front, Colton Underwood faces the ultimate first world problem in The Bachelor clip featured here. The guy is stuck in the middle of a feud between two beauty pageant contestants in skimpy outfits, battling for his love and attention. There's no reason to feel especially bad for the famous virgin here, okay? That said, Underwood sort of freaks out in this sneak peek from his third episode, which opens with Caelynn Miller-Keyes bringing up her past with fellow contestant Hannah Brown. Caelynn, who actually won Miss North Carolina in 2018, tells Colton here that Hannah has said some “not kind” things about her during their rivalry… which wasn't always a rivalry. The beauties used to actually be quite close. The way Caelynn tells it, however, Hannah then grew jealous of her success and this caused her to become “deceitful,” “manipulative” and “toxic.” Colton finds it all “very concerning.” To his credit, though, Underwood approaches Hannah with what he's heard and asks for her take. “I just don't know what to believe,” he tells Hannah in this clip, who doesn't exactly inspire confidence in Colton when she seems to get irritated at the accusations and says: “Just frickin trust me.” If only it were that easy, right? Do either of these women advance to Colton's final four? You can visit our section of The Bachelor spoilers to find out. As for how Colton responds to Hannah and why she labels this situation her “worst nightmare?” You can check out the video here to see what transpires!
It’s official: Larissa Dos Santos Lima is facing a domestic violence charge for allegedly attacking husband Colt Johnson last week. The criminal complaint – which comes on the heels of an ugly and well-publicized fight between the 90 Day Fiance stars – states that Larissa “did willfully and unlawfully use force or violence against or upon the person of her spouse.” TMZ has obtained the complaint and was the first website to publish this excerpt from it. The charge is a misdemeanor and was filed Wednesday in Vegas. As we’ve documented in detail, Larissa was taken into custody very early last Friday morning after some sort of confrontation with Johnson that resulted in his bloody lip. Larissa also shared a number of photos online that allegedly depicted what Johnson had done to her face — but police on the scene determined these wounds (such as the one below) were self-inflicted. Just hours after his wife was arrested, Johnson filed for divorce. We’ve seen reported on how Colt is trying to expediate this process, telling a judge he doesn’t want spousal support and that the couple owned no joint property… … and that he basically wants to be done with Larissa as quickly as legally possible . The TLC personalities had made plenty of headlines together long before this unfortunate incident. Late last year, Johnson admitted to having cheated on his wife; while Larissa was also arrested on a domestic battery charge in November, although it was eventually dropped. In this latest instance, Johnson told cops Larissa became enraged after learning he subscribed to an adult entertainment website. She accused him of cheating again. According to the police report, Colt said Larissa had downed half a bottle of antidepressants and was suicidal . View Slideshow: Larissa Lima Shares Shocking Photos of Bloody Fight With Colt Johnson; 90 Day Fiance Star Arrested [BREAKING] For her part, Larissa alleged that Colt was the aggressor, scratching her in the face and on her torso. However, cops investigated both sides and believed that Johnson was telling the truth; hence the arrest last Friday around 5 a.m. In the days since this violent back-and-forth, both Colt and Larissa have posted messages on Instagram. The former explained to followers how he simply doesn’t understand Dos Santos Lima and said he has paid for absolutely everything on her behalf since she moved to America. Here is a snippet of what he wrote online after filing for divorce: Larissa, meanwhile, tried to start a GoFundMe account so that fans could help pay for her split and her “new life.” But those behind this fundraising service took down her page for some reason. “Thank you all who donated on my go fund me campaign. I raised the money I need! When I feel better I will make a video to thank you and I will mention every single donor,” she wrote on Instagram on Saturday, sharing that she had a court date for Febriary 12. This is what she had previously written about the situation on her social media account: Johnson and Dos Santos Lima married last June after meeting on an online dating website. He proposed after a mere 11 days together, after which she moved (from Brazil) to Las Vegas to be with him. Their relationship was documented on season six of 90 Day Fiance, the reality program that follows couples who have applied for or received a K-1 visa available to foreign fiances of US citizens. They then have 90 days to decide to marry before the visa expires and the foreign half must leave the nation. View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance: Most Shocking Scandals Exposed!
Rob Kardashian is about to get a fat paycheck. But only if he stops being so gosh darn fat. Hey, this is not our assessment of the often-maligned reality star. We’re just paraphrasing his mother. Indeed, sources tell Radar Online that Rob is set to return to Keeping Up with the Kardashians after effectively not appearing at all on the prior two seasons of this E! reality show. But there’s a unique catch to the arrangement. Simply put: “Kris is bribing her son with millions of dollars to lose weight,” a source close to the 63-year-old matriarch tells the aforementioned celebrity gossip site. It’s been well-documented in the past that Rob has struggled to maintain a healthy weight — and also that his family members have grown embarrassed by his ballooning figure. Rob himself has also been embarrassed, which partly explains his absence from the series of late. “[Jenner] told [Rob] that she will give him a half a million dollar increase for every ten pounds he loses,” Radar claims , explaining of this unique situation: “He has been working out non-stop and she is so proud of him because she really wants him to come back strong.” Rob’s weight loss journey will provide Keeping Up with the Kardashians with a fresh storyline, of course, as will the shocking fact that someone out there apparently wants to sleep with him. It’s true! He’s reportedly been getting hot and heavy with VH1 personality Alexis Skyy . We have no idea what she sees in him, either, we know. But Rob’s mom is psyched that her son is happy; and, again, that the show may have a new storyline on which to focus. “Kris is thrilled that Rob is getting back out there and dating again. All she wants is for Rob to happy,” Radar writes, ignoring the fact that all Kris really wants is for her kids to make her money. The insider does acknowledge this aspect of Jenner, adding: “Needless to say, Kris would love it if the two of them are together when he starts filming because that would mean she could use their romance for ratings.” We don’t yet know when Keeping Up with the Kardashians will retuen for another season. But you better believe Kim’s plans to add a fourth child will be featured prominently on upcoming episodes, along with the rumor that Khloe wants to get pregnant again… by Tristan Thompson . We know, right? SIGH . Rob, meanwhile, is involved in a legal battle with Blac Chyna. In court documents that have been made public, Kardashian wants his estranged baby mama pay him over $17,000 after he claimed she did “significant damage” to his property after “violently attacking” him while the exes were living at with Kylie Jenner in 2017. There’s no end in sight to their back-and-forth. View Slideshow: Keeping Up with the Kardashians: 14 Shocking Secrets Revealed!
Time? Mariah Carey doesn’t know her. The legendary singer is facing some controversial accusations , but she’s still dominating on social media. She threw her hat into the ring for the 10 Year Challenge and we have to say it: she won. The 10 Year Challenge has been all over social media for the past week. Generally, people share a photo from 2019 and a photo from 2009 for comparison. As you are about to see, Mariah Carey took a different approach. “I don’t get this 10 year challenge,” Mariah admitted on both Twitter and Instagram. She continued, writing that “time is not something I acknowledge.” That much is clear from her photo. These are both the same photo placed side-by-side. Mariah’s caption includes a clarification: “Picture taken at some point prior to today,” Mariah writes beside a little asterisk. She could have ignored the challenge like so many people have. Instead, she took a shot and reminded everyone that she can dominate social media with minimal effort. Of course, some have suggested that Mariah may have had a less humorous reason for not wanting to participate. In some of Mariah’s more recent appearances, her look has attracted confusion, ridicule, and cruel comments from fans. She may have wanted to avoid any of that by not posting a visual, side-by-side reminder of how different she looks now than she once did. If so, she would not be alone in abstaining from the challenge. From illness to pregnancy to the ravages of life, a lot of people don’t feel too great about how they’re looking in 2019 selfies. This is a bigger issue for celebrity women, whose fans seem confused when they no longer look like they did when they were 20. The 10 Year Challenge has garnered a number of reactions. Those of us who were already adults in 2009 sometimes see a friend or peer’s 2009 photo in which they were a tween and feel centuries old. Others have simply shown how much of a glow-up they’ve experienced — or at least, how much better their current camera works. A few trans folks, like Caitlyn Jenner, have used it to highlight their transitions into their authentic selves. Good for them. Others have used the challenge to raise environmental concerns, such as showing how much glaciers have decreased in size in just one decade. As wilth all such challenges, it’s completely optional. Any pressure to participate exists only in your own mind. Some people choose to own their new look, even if it is radically different than what it once was. But that’s their choice. Mariah made hers. Fans, at least, seemed to support that. “If Mariah Carey says that time does not exist,” one fan tweeted. “Then time does not exist PERIOD.” “Me walking in late with a Starbucks drink…..uhhh time is not something I acknowledge,” reads another fan tweet. Another wrote: “This is the energy you need to leave work and start your weekend now.” That, as the kids say, is a mood.

A normal person would not want their name associated with Bill Cosby. Not in 2019. R. Kelly is, by every conceivable metric, not a normal person. The disgraced R&B singer is under criminal investigation , and he’s turning to Cosby’s “fixers” to keep him out of jail. RadarOnline reports that R. Kelly has hired the same team of “fixers” that Bill Cosby had allegedly used to try to silence his own enemies. These would be professionals in a number of fields who might understand how to persuade multiple accusers to go silent or even recant. “They’re ready to do just about anything to get him off the hook,” the insider characterizes. The source continues, noting that these professionals intend to succeed “even if it means using fear tactics.” We’re not sure what fear tactics means in this context. But it could mean intimidation, routine harassment, surveillance, or even blackmail of current or potential witnesses. The disgraced 52-year-old R&B singer is said to have reached out to these “fixers” after the harrowing documentary aired. Surviving R. Kelly paints a terrifying portrait of what it is like to be a victim of R. Kelly’s alleged sexual predation and his violent sex cult. Everyone is talking about it, and the public interest and public pressure have pushed law enforcement to investigate the creep. This has backed R. Kely into a corner more than any past efforts have managed. R. Kelly has reportedly vowed to “sue everybody” involved with the Lifetime docuseries, clearly hoping to silence his critics. Kelly was willing to do so much more than just threaten legal actions. As TMZ reported, Kelly planned to leak the sex tapes of the survivors who spoke out against him. A team reportedly working for him launched a website, ironically named survivinglies . That is clear retaliation and sounds like revenge porn, which is illegal for good reason. The singer’s attorneys stepped in and closed down the site. “They were afraid of lawsuits,” the insider explains. The source continues: “especially after they learned the team planned to use it to feature a revenge-porn video.” This video, the insider says, would have been “featuring one of his victims consenting to sex.” R. Kelly has been accused of having used grooming, violence, starvation, and psychological manipulation to keep multiple women obedient and afraid. A video of a woman giving some sort of verbal consent would not have disproved any accusations. Instead, the tactic would have discouraged other women from coming forward for fear of having their own nightmares broadcast on the internet. But thankfully, not only were plans for the site scrapped, but even a Facebook page devoted to the site was taken down. “We do not tolerate bullying or sharing other’s private contact information,” Facebook explained in a statement. Facebook continued: “and take action on content that violates our policies as soon as we’re aware.” Legal prosecutions, especially of complicated sex crimes that took place over years and decades, can be difficult to prosecute. Additional witnesses may be reluctant to come forward because society and especially R. Kelly fans may not want to hear what they have to say. We can only imagine the sort of courage that it took for everyone who participated in Surviving R. Kelly . View Slideshow: R. Kelly Addresses Sex Abuse Accusations in 19-Minute Song
