Kim Kardshian Stuns the World: I Hate My Giant Butt!

Before Keeping Up With the Kardashian — and even before her now-infamous sex tape with Ray J made her a household name — Kim Kardashian’s prodigious backside captured the attention of both star-making Hollywood power players and creepy internet pervs alike. Actually, we now know there’s some major overlap between those groups, but that’s a conversation for another time. The point is, the pop culture mainstream had never seen anything like Kim’s outsized ‘donk before. These were the dark ages in which the three old white guys who run Hollywood still thought Jennifer Lopez had the biggest ass imaginable. Kim single-handedly shattered the glass chair that had so long prevented women with genuinely giant butts from taking seats of power in Hollywood. (It’s not a perfect metaphor, but you get the idea.) You may be thinking to yourself, haven’t you guys spent enough time talking about Kim Kardashian’s ass over the years? To which we say, you might as well tell Neil DeGrasse-Tyson that he’s spent quite enough time talking about space for one lifetime. Anyway, we present you with this short history of ass for good reason. You see, it’s recently come to our attention that Kimberly Noel Kardashian West is less than thrilled with her most famous feature. This shocking news was delivered courtesy of a preview clip for Sunday night’s episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians . The scene starts innocently enough with Kourtney Kardashian throwing a bit of humorous sisterly shade: “Kim, when you sit down your butt looks so huge,” Kourtney opined. When she was rebuffed by Kris Jenner, Kourt objected: “She likes having a big butt, I’m not saying anything offensive,” she said. That’s when Kim made the sad reveal that her most coveted asset has become a burden: “No I don’t! I cry about it on the daily,” Kim replied. Now, this attempt to shame Kourtney for her joke may be a result of the ongoing Kim vs. Kourtney feud . But it’s equally possible that Kim really is not a fan of her own butt. It’s hard to imagine — like Kylie dissing her own lips, or Kanye deciding his ego is grotesquely oversized — but we suppose it’s possible. So if you want to do some good for humanity today, head on over to Kim’s Instagram page and give a shout-out to the ass that broke the internet. After all, where would we be without the trailblazing butt pioneers who made this country what it is today? Actually, it’s probably best if you don’t answer that question.

The Bachelor Will Do Fantasy Suites Differently for Virgin Colton Underwood!

The Bachelor Nation knows that Colton Underwood is the next Bachelor , and fans have some questions and concerns. Chris Harrison has come forward to address at least some of those worries. He promises that fans will have a good time. He shares how the show plans to tackle Colton’s virginity — and how this season’s Fantasy Suites will be very special. At the New York premiere of  A Simple Favor  on Monday. September, 10, Chris Harrison told Entertainment Tonight about why they picked Colton. “No matter what we say, if we said Jason, if we said Blake, it doesn’t matter,” Chris admits. “There’s going to be backlash, that’s the way social media works these days.” In case you’re wondering why so many celebs keep saying problematic stuff, it’s that exact attitude and an inability to distinguish between trolls and actual feedback. “Colton’s going to be good TV, and that is the reason we chose him,” Chris explains bluntly.  That sounds very honest. Chris then cracks a joke that will honestly sell more viewers on Colton than anything else: “He probably won’t have his shirt on after night one, so it’s going to be a good season.” Chris does admit that the fans aren’t sure if Colton is ready for marriage. And, as Chris says, “that’s the whole point of the show.” Looking for candidates for marriage is the whole point of The Bachelor franchise. Finding out if Colton is ready for it is the point of this season, we guess. “Maybe at the end of it, he’s not, and it’s a complete disaster,” Chris says. “That’s the way it goes, that’s life” Chris does address that the Fantasy Suite is going to be a little more intriguing since Colton has never banged before. “Well, this year, because I know he’s the Bachelor, I brought in props,” Chris jokes. His joke continues: “So there’s going to be a big presentation of what happens in the fantasy suite [with] 3D models.” That sounds painfully awkward. Fortunately, to make sure that we know (we hope) that this is a joke, Chris continues. “It really gets interesting,” Chris says. “And I’m going to bring my son in as well, who is a teenager, so I can knock out the talk.” If you haven’t had the talk with your teen yet, they already got it from their friends. But, again, Chris is joking. We hope. Chris does take a slightly more serious tone as he discusses the implications of Colton Underwood’s virginity. “No, but it’s part of the storyline, the fact that Colton’s a virgin, clearly,” Chris affirms. “How will the women react to that?” Chris asks rhetorically. “How is he going to handle that?” That’s a good question. And, of course, we already got a taste of that narrative after the episode aired in which Colton confessed to Becca. “It’s something that he’s obviously dealt with his entire life,” Chris reminds viewers. “And he got emotional about it.” Chris mentions how Colton spoke “about when he was in the NFL and having to fake it.” Actual locker room talk, for Colton, involved pretending that he’d had sexual experiences that he had not. “So, we are going to deal with that,” Chris says. “We’ll dive into that.” We’re sure that they will. So we suppose that Chris Harrison’s pitch for Colton’s season is:  Come for the shirtless eye candy, stay for the virginity drama . Will it work? For the network, it’s a gamble. Especially if someone comes forward and claims that Colton has been lying about his virgin status. Fans have already been warned that Colton is a selfish jerk who may be more interested in fame than finding love or marriage. Some think that, after Arie, the network should have gone with the most trustworthy, non-controversial pick that they could. Others say that people are simply being unfair to Colton. We’ll all find out together. View Slideshow: Colton Underwood as The Bachelor: A Nation Reacts

Cardi B ATTACKS Nicki Minaj! Watch the Crazy Footage!

DING! DING! DING! It was on between Cardi B and Nicki Minaj at a New York Fashion Week party on Friday night. And we mean this literally. The artists got into a physical altercation. Both stars showed up at the Harper's Bazaar's shindig yesterday evening, with Cardi “aggressively approached [a] table” at which Nicki was sitting, according to TMZ. “Let me tell you something,” an onlooker alleges Cardi said to her rival, priot to lunging at Minaj and then getting pulled away by others at the party. As she was being dragged in the opposite direction, however, Cardi HURLED A SHOE at Minaj. No charges have been filed and we don't think police were even called to the scene. But the tension remains, that's for sure. Just after 12 a.m. PST this morning, Cardi wrote the following on Instagram: I've let a lot of s–t slide! I let you sneak diss me, I let you lie on me, I let you attempt to stop my bags, f–k up the way I eat! “You've threatened other artists in the industry, told them if they work with me you'll stop f–kin with them!! I let you talk big s–t about me!! “I've worked hard and come too far to let anybody f*** with my success!!!!  Bitches talk about all that s**** in they raps but in real life are p***y.” Insiders claimed that Cardi didn't intend on really fighting with Nicki, just on confronting her about lies Minaj had supposedly been spreading about her. While she was being taken away, an elbow slammed Cardi in the face and gave her a noticeable lump. Pretty crazy stuff, huh? Here is Cardi's full statement: And you catch watch footage of the near-brawl here. The footage isn't totally clear, but you can get a clear idea of how nutty things got.

Meghan Markle Pregnant? Latest Appearance Sparks Fresh Round of Rumors

Could it be true? Might it finally be the case? Do we at last have a reason to celebrate? These are the questions being posed by Royal Family fans around the Internet right about now, as a new round of  Meghan Markle pregnant rumors are spreading throughout social media.  The speculation is nearing an all-time high after the Duchess of Sussex attended the 100 Days to Peace Gala in London on Thursday, with all eyes fixated on her blue bespoke Jason Wu dress. It’s a beautiful number, about that there is no doubt. But was it covering an even more beautiful baby bump? Based on the type of gown Markle was donning, along with the position of her hands at times and the possible protrusion of her stomach, this is what some folks now believe. “I have a feeling Meghan Markle is pregnant,” wrote on random individual, while another noted that the former actress appears to have “glowing” skin and shinier hair than usual. Those would both be signs of pregnancy. And while it’s pretty much impossible to figure out such a status based on a handful of photos, we have to admit: We sort of see where these folks are coming from. We’re not saying Markle is pregnant for certain. But we’ve heard more outlandish claims based on far less revealing photos. For whatever it’s worth, Markle’s awful father has said multiple times of late that she and Prince Harry want to start a family in the near future. There have been tabloid covers left and rght ever since the stars got married in May that alleged a child was on the way. Heck, sometimes there’s been talk of TWO kids being on the way . But an Us Weekly insider says folks should slow their pregnancy role in this case. We’re not sure if this person knows anything for absolute certain, but this is what the source tells the magazine: “Chalk this pregnancy speculation to an unflattering dress and wind. “Meghan and Harry have a busy rest of the year. They are excited to start a family but have always wanted to focus the first year of marriage on their official work and starting to bring awareness to causes close to them. “That is their main focus before starting a family.” Fans do need to remember that the couple has not even been married for six months. It does seem very likely that they will be parents at some point, but that point may be the year 2020 or 2021. Perhaps even 2022. They are not in any rush, even if the desire is very much there. “I’ve longed for kids since I was very, very young,” Harry told ABC News in May 2012, adding at the time: “I’m waiting to find the right person, someone who is willing to take on the job.” We think he found that person. But when their lives calm down a bit and they have more time to plan out their future, that’s when we’re guessing the unprotected Royal pounding will begin.

The Real Housewives of New York Season 10 Episode 22 Recap: Bethenny Frankel vs. Carole Radziwill

It was the end of the line for Bethenny Frankel and Carole Radziwill on The Real Housewives of New York Season 10 Episode 22 , as the two women admitted it was time to move on.  Radziwill was quick to reveal that Bethenny’s harsh comments about her in the confessionals were too hurtful to move on from.  “The season made it over for me,” she told Frankel on Wednesday’s finale. Watch The Real Housewives of New York City Season 10 Episode 22 Online “When you watch the confessional interviews, I’m seeing what you said about me. About not having a job, not having a husband…” “I didn’t understand until I watched the show and I realized I was really, really trying to salvage our friendship and you didn’t seem that interested,” Radziwill continued.  “And I only can imagine because you knew what you had said at all those confessional interviews.” “I was trying all season to come back from this,” Radziwill said of Bethenny’s comments.  “At the end, I was like, ‘Thank god we’re done with this season. Thank god we can go back. We can just regroup.’ And then I started watching the show…” All of the above suggests that Radzwill was on board for another season of the Bravo hit, but it looks like things changed once she watched the season back.  Bethenny’s comments “made me sad but also angry,” the departing cast member said. For Frankel, Radziwill was just as bad what with her blog post and Instagram live to bash Bethenny.  “The season would not have made it over,” Frankel said. “The bashing with the blogs and the bashing with a friend made it over. … It was really mean.” Bethenny continued to claim that Carole had changed and that was the reason for the dunking of their relationship.  “You’ve changed too,” Radziwill fired back. “You’ve become catty and gossipy. I didn’t change. With this being Radziwill’s final episode, she did open up about her biggest regret: Not patching things up with Frankel.  “My regret was that Bethenny and I could never get to a place where… I thought maybe by the end of the season we would be speaking and then reconnect,” Radziwill said. “Because that friendship was important to me. And that never happened.” “I wish that we had had some kind of conversation so we could have put it into context,” she added. “It was just hard. I tried. That’s my regret, that I failed.” At the top of the episode, Carole got into it with Andy. He was furious that she said he was “full of shit.”  Andy has the power to hire and fire on this franchise, so he was likely shocked at the way she spoke to him.  Carole claimed Andy was scared of Bethenny Frankel, to which he replied: “Yeah, I’m scared of her.” It was ridiculous, but the most telling moment was Andy asking Carole about her regret from the season. “Is yours telling me I’m full of shit?” he said with a serious look on his face.  Could this be the REAL reason Carole is out of the series?  As for the way this reunion concluded? Tears. Lots of tears.  Bethenny turned to look at Dorinda upon being asked what her biggest regret is, and said the following.  “My biggest regret of the season is if I did say, ‘a drunk’ — because you and I heard it the same way when we saw it on TV — but if I called you ‘a drunk,’ I regret saying that to you on television.” “Thank you, Bethenny,” Dorinda replied while crying. “That actually means a lot.” “But I will say for the record, in the moment, we both heard it: ‘You’re drunk,'” Bethenny added. “But anyway, I own what was on the show, and that’s fine, and that’s my regret.” “Um, I think — that actually means a lot to me,” Dorinda said, pointing at Bethenny.  “It’s so stupid — it’s at the end of the show,” Dorinda continued, before meeting Bethenny for a hug. “It means the world to me.” “I tried to be as compassionate as I could while I was there,” Bethenny replied. “And I saw it, and I was like, ‘Oof,’ you know? I really did.” Dorinda then admitted she could not answer, and Andy moved on to Tinsley.  She admitted that she was mad at herself for shouting “Shut your mouth and shut your f–king legs!” at Sonja.  Sonja claimed she also regretted “opening that wound” with Tinsley.  And that’s another season in the can! What do you think of the conclusion? Hit the comments below.  View Slideshow: Bethenny Frankel: Quitting The Real Housewives of New York City Over Dennis Shields’ Death?

Lauren Swanson: Proof of Pregnancy Posted on Instagram?

It’s been just over two months since Lauren Swanson married Josiah Duggar in one of those massive Duggar ceremonies attended by the entire state of Arkansas. Obviously, Josiah and Lauren are still very much in the newlywed stage, but they’re also Duggars, which means the whole world is already wondering why they haven’t started a family. Yes, rumors that Lauren is pregnant with Josiah’s baby began almost immediately after these two tied the knot. Thus far there’s been nothing in the way of compelling evidence to support those claims, so Duggar fans went digging to find some of their own. And apparently, they’ve already gotten pretty desperate in their search. Josiah posted the photo below to Instagram this week, and some Duggar obsessives think there’s more going on here than meets the eye. See the way Lauren is sidled up close to Josiah? According to a coterie of imaginative conspiracy theorists, that’s not because they’re in love, and it’s certainly not because they feel the need to make up for lost time after being denied all forms of physical contact with one another for the first six months of their relationship. No, these folks believe Lauren is concealing a burgeoning baby bump. As far as we can tell, this pic alone is the source of all the Lauren pregnancy rumors circulating on social media at the moment. Look, we’re not saying that she’s definitively not pregnant — the girl is a Duggar now, after all. But we are saying the folks who are pointing to this pic as proof are really, really reaching. To us, what’s far more interesting than the image itself is Josiah’s choice of caption. “Can’t believe it’s almost been 2 months since I married my best friend!!! -Lauren #2monthiversary #marriageisthebest #amazonoutfit,” he wrote. There’s a lot to unpack here. For one, dude just quoted his wife calling him her best friend. That’s some next-level insecurity, and we’re beginning to grow concerned that Josiah’s male-pattern baldness is affecting his self-esteem. On top of that what the hell is “#amazonoutfit”? Is he saying he and Lauren bought their clothes on Amazon? Is shopping online, like, something Duggars are only allowed to do once they’re married?! Forget pregnancy rumors, we may have just uncovered something far more bizarre and interesting. View Slideshow: Josiah Duggar & Lauren Swanson Relive Their Whirlwind Courtship on Counting On!

Noah Cyrus and Lil Xan: It’s Over… and It’s Very Ugly!

It’s all over for Noah Cyrus and Lil Xan. The romance between these stars, that is. But the accusations of infidelity being hurled back and forth? Those are just beginning. The artists had only been together for a month or so, with Cyrus quick to correct some rumors about the now-failed romance upon alerting her 4.4 million Instagram followers that it has come to an end. “first and foremost: this relationship was not set up by Columbia Records. to say that is [a] joke,” the 18-year old wrote late Monday, adding: “it started when I got a DM from Diego [Lil Xan’s real name is Diego Leanos] and he asked me to hang out. the truth is I haven’t seen him in almost a week. every time we tried to hang out something always got in the way.” So it sounds like the relationship didn’t work because of timing and scheduling issues, right? WRONG! Lil Xan, who sources claim is some kind of rapper, wrote yesterday that he was “probably cheated on,” while Cyrus even broke down in tears on her Story. Noah later explained that she “noticed a hickey” on her boyfriend’s neck during a recent FaceTime call. AWKWARD! “he told me it was just a bruise,” she wrote. “i decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and ignored it.” The actress continued: “cheaters like to accuse their partners of cheating to make themselves feel less guilt. “this isn’t the first time this has happened to me and now im being forced to deal with crazy accusations when im not even sure where all this came from.” Cyrus went on explain that, in her view, she was there for Lil Xan “dark times.” She added: “when you felt alone and like no one was there for you, I was. if this was your way of breaking up with me and breaking my heart along with it, then you’ve succeeded.” Damn. Poor Noah. Where does Lil Xan fall on the issue of cheating? On the opposite side of Cyrus, that’s for sure. He shared a photo of Cyrus with her arms wrapped around another man and captioned the post: “call me whatever but if you my girl you ain’t touching no dude like that sorry haha.” In a video posted on his story, Lil Xan concluded: “It just hurts, like, so f-cking bad. You think you know somebody, and then you just get used.” The stars have since unfollowed each other on Instagram. It really does appear to be over, folks.

Ariana Grande: My First Kiss With Pete Davidson Was So F–king Epic!

Pete Davidson has been pretty blunt about how he’s always horny for Ariana Grande . But there’s more to these two than sexual chemistry and a major height difference. Now, Ariana is speaking about their first kiss, and sharing some surprising details. More than once, Ariana has destroyed claims that she cheated on Mac Miller . To those conspiracy theorists, she and Pete secretly hooked up years ago. In real life, though, Ariana’s relationship with Pete began in late May — and now, speaking on Nicki MInaj’s Queen Radio , Ariana describes their first kiss. “It was sick,” Ariana gushes. “It was so dope!” Ariana gives a little more detail about the kiss, and even before their lips touched, she says, “It was so cute.” She reveals: “He asked me for permission to kiss me!” Asking for consent before your first kiss is not only cute, it’s a good sign. What’s the opposite of a red flag when it comes to dating? “It’s kind of complicated,” Ariana says. “Because it wasn’t too naughty of a kiss.” Naughty kiss sounds like a goofy British euphamism akin to  sweep the special chimney , but clearly she just means that it was an emotionally charged but relatively chaste kiss. Ariana then struggles to describe the passion between them, saying: “But it was like … there was so much … in there, you know?” Go ahead, get all of the jokes about Ariana’s phrasing here and  Pete Davidson’s impressive dong out of your system. We’ll wait. Ariana meant that there was so much emotional significance  in their kiss . “It was really sweet,” Ariana continues to gush. She says that, lack of naughtiness aside, it was a huge turn-on. “But,” Ariana dishes. “It was also really sexy.” Though a lot of people have wanted to keep seeing Ariana as young and innocent, she’s been a grown woman for years, even if she’s still the height of a fourth grader. Ariana has made very adult nature very, very clear in her music, interviews, and music videos. Ariana also shares that, kissing aside, she loves her engagement to Pete. “We have a lot of fun,” she shares. The two of them just click with each other and have similar sense of humor on top of all of that infamous sexual chemistry. “He’s like my best friend …” Ariana affirms. In terms of their overall relationship, which is still just a few months old, she reveals: “it gets better every day.” Ariana continues to gush about Pete, saying that they seem to mirror each other. “We’re the boy-girl version of each other,” Ariana explains. Of course, physically speaking, they’re more like fun house mirror versions of each other. Ariana resorts to hyperbole, saying: “He’s, like, 70 feet tall, and I’m 4 inches tall!” That’s not the literal case, of course, but Pete does have a good 15 inchest on Ariana’s 5-foot-0. And that’s not counting his penis. There is statistical evidence that suggests that their height difference might help Pete and Ariana’s relationship last . If we had to guess, we’d say that this famous first kiss took place on, like, May 20th at the Billboard Music Awards, or within the next few days. Maybe, like, the day before. But we wouldn’t be surprised if that kiss took place backstage. Good for Ariana and for Pete for living their best and sexiest lives. We really are rooting for them, as individuals but also as a couple. View Slideshow: 29 Hottest Ariana Grande Photos of All Time

Azealia Banks to Elon Musk: Sorry! You’re Not Really a Balding Drug Addict!

One of the most amusing gossip items of August had to do with the highly unexpected feud between Azealia Banks and Elon Musk . In case you’re unfamiliar with those names, they perfectly represent the two main archetypes of American egomania: Banks is the gifted artist whose rage over the fact that she still has to ride the subway like a plebe has driven her to repeatedly sabotage her own career. Conversely, Musk is quite successful financially but is consistently driven mad over the world’s unwillingness to recognize him as the heir to Einstein, Edison, Henry Ford, and Jesus H. Christ. In other words, they may not seem to have much in common — Banks is a self-made creative, whereas Mush is a left-brain cyborg who could’ve spent his entire life blowing his family’s emerald mine fortune. But at the end of the day, Banks and Musk are just two sides of the same narcissistic coin. Perhaps that’s why they clashed upon first meeting, then later realized they were destined to join forces. Allow us to explain: Earlier this month, NYC-based Banks spent some time in LA with the intention of collaborating on a song with Musk’s girlfriend, Grimes. So she paid a visit to Musk’s sprawling mansion and found it to have less of a “Tony Stark” vibe and more of an “Allison Williams’ parent’s house in Get Out ” feel. In addition to comparing her experience to Jordan Peele’s horror classic, Banks says she witnessed a wealth of appallingly self-destructive behavior from both Musk and Grimes. Banks referred to Musk as a “giant d–k” and a “beta male who took steroids and hair plugs to convince himself he’s alpha.” She also accused Musk of conducting business while tripping on LSD, and Grimes of being a meth addict. She later alleged that Musk had stolen her phone so that he could “delete evidence” of their encounter. Needless to say, after all that it was quite a surprise to see that Banks had issued a public apology to Musk: “I feel terrible about everything,” reads the now-deleted open letter that was posted to Banks’ Instagram page. “Over the time spent liaising said collaborations [with Grimes], I was welcomed to a lot of personal information about you,” Banks wrote. “The stuff made me feel awkward and uncomfortable about being privy to you, yet I never had the intentions of ever using the information against you. She added: “What started off as a cat-fight lead to some seriously unexpected consequences and I seriously apologize.” Interestingly, Banks’ refused to use Grimes name throughout the letter, referring to her would-be collaborator only with a pair of empty quotation marks. After posting the letter, Banks deleted her Instagram account, but now appears to have re-instated her account. We’ll continue to monitor this weird-ass situation and let you know if it gets any weirder. View Slideshow: Azealia Banks and Her Beefs: Who’s She Shading Now?

Carole Radziwill Doubles Down: Bethenny Frankel is a Bully!

In real life, Bethenny Frankel is mourning Dennis Shields , both in private and in public. On the The Real Housewives of New York City reunion , however, she’s been facing off against her frenemies. Carole Radziwill accused her of bullying her now that they’re no longer friends. Some RHONY fans took issue with her accusation, and Carole took to Twitter to defend herself. Who is right? Towards the end of The Real Housewives of New York City Season 10, Episode 21 , ex-friends Bethenny and Carole did a postmortem on how their friendship ended. “What she does is, she creates this narrative, this false narrative about me,” Carole accused. “This false narrative that I’m some girl who’s this, this and this.” “It’s completely false,” Carole said as she aired her grievances. “Half of it is lies.” When Bethenny interrupted, Carole said: “Are you going to continue to bully me, or am I going to be able to speak?” Multiple times, Carole doubled down on her accusation that Bethenny is a bully who has been bullying her. “Let’s stop using the word bully,” tweeted a fan. “These women are getting paid a lot more of money to be on this show. It’s a choice.” The fan points out that, in contrast: “When children are getting bullied in schools or People for being different are harassed. That’s bullying.” Carole replied … and shared that she disagreed. “I get your point but don’t belittle what is happening here,” Carole wrote in her tweet. “[Obviously] I can handle it but kids need to know…..mocking someone and talking over a person is an intimidation technique. I.e. Bullying 101.” “If they learn to stand up against that,” Carole wrote. “The bully won’t be quick to escalate it.” But fans weren’t letting Carole off of the hook. “You need to think carefully about the word bully,” a fan tweeted. “You haven’t been bullied at all. You both don’t like each other. You both said hurtful things. Move on.” The fan cautioned Carole: “Don’t undermine others that have had their lives ruined by bullying by saying what has happend with you and Bethenny is bullying.” “No I disagree,” Carole wrote. “We need to call out even the smallest infractions as bullying. Only this way we can change the dynamic.” Carole continued: “Just like the # metoo  movement is calling out ALL inappropriate actions. Men will pause next time they reach for a girls shoulders to rub. Change happens slowly.” Fans remained unconvinced, and continued to try to explain to Carole that bullying refers to a specific dynamic between perpetrator and victim. “So where’s the power differential in this situation?” tweeted a fan. “Where’s the intimidation? Where’s the fear? Where’s the helplessness?” Carole is a rich white woman who is related to royalty. Her potential pool for who could conceivably bully her is pretty narrow. “She has a choice,” wrote another fan. “Bullied people don’t have a choice. It was an argument between two friends that aren’t getting along right now.” This is a very complicated topic. A lot of terms — especially buzzwords — get thrown around and then misused until they’re all but meaningless. Most people would look at two former friends who are no longer again and say that they are feuding. One says cruel things about the other? That’s feuding. In contrast, the only Muslim kid at a middle school isn’t “feuding” with some mean kids on his bus. A gay child isn’t “feuding” with the classmates who tell him to hang himself. At the same time, is the definition of bullying as narrow as these fans suggest? Perhaps there are different types of bullying. Language is complicated, and both the literal meanings of words and the connotations of those words can evolve over time.
