Brandi Cyrus: I’m Team Miley and When You Hear the Truth, You Will Be Too!

After 10 years of romance and about 8 months of marriage, Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are over .. Now Miley’s been showing off pics from her girls’ trip and she and Liam have been pretty tight-lipped when it comes to official statements. But Miley’s big sister Brandi has something to say — and predicts that Miley will only sit on her side of the story for so long. Brandi Cyrus spoke on the Your Favorite Thing podcast with Wells Adams. For the first time, she is publicly commenting on the collapse of her sister’s marriage. “It’s not my business to talk about,” Brandi emphasizes. “And,” the 32-year-old actress, singer, and DJ adds. “It’s nothing anything of mine to tell.” Brandi laments: “There’s nothing I can really say.” But Brandi can speak about herself and the role that she is now playing with Miley and Liam’s separation public knowledge. “I just, I’m here for her, obviously,” Brandi expresses. Good for her! Of course she is. “And,” she adds. “I’ve been spending a lot of time with her.” She even has a guess as to when Miley will be prepared and willing to share here side of the story with the world. “When she’s ready to talk about it or whatever,” Brandi predicts. “Then she will.” Just a couple of days ago, Brandi was a lot more vague as she waxed philosophical on social media. “I’ve learned that life sometimes takes us through seasons,” she wrote on Instagram. “When we cannot understand why things have to hurt so much,” She added: “or be so hard.” “But,” Brandi affirmed. “All we can do is trust that there is purpose in everything,” “Even,” she added. “The darkness. …” “And in time everything will make sense,” Brandi’s message assured her fans and followers. “And all of that purpose will be revealed,” she suggested. “When the time is right.” Brandi predicted that out of turmoil can come new peace “and we will be stronger and better for it.” Given the timing, it’s difficult to imagine that Brandi was talking about anyone or anything but her sister’s separation. We’re leery of reading too much into a single post, absolutely. But sometimes you have to make an educated guess and use common sense. Outwardly, Miley does seem to be coping well with the separation. Part of that may be that, according to rumors, they actually separated a couple of months ago and only went public now. But Miley has been seen gal-paling with Kaitlynn Carter, and wonder if her coping mechanism might turn into a whole new relationship. That said, some people think that Miley and Kaitlynn are faking it just to get back at their respective exes. That’s certainly possible, but if it’s true, it would indicate that there’s some serious bad blood between Miley and Liam. More than they’ve let on. Recent reports have shown the split turning ugly with accusations that Miley cheated and that Liam is some sort of drug fiend . We hope that the truth comes out before various contradictory reports take on lives of their own. View Slideshow: 21 Most Stunning Splits in Celebrity History

Well, so much for all those years of peaceful co-parenting. Last month, The Ashley's Reality Roundup reported on rumors that Kailyn Lowry is not getting along with her OG baby daddy, Jo Rivera.

Ashley Graham: Pregnant with First Child!!!!!

Ashley Graham is partially famous because she’s often taken her clothes off in the pages of various magazines. Now, however, the model has an announcement to make based on something she did after taking her clothes off in the privacy of her own home. Which is an odd way of saying the following… … Graham is pregnant with her first child!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ashley and husband Justin Ervin both confirmed this amazing news in social media posts that coincided with their ninth wedding anniversary. Wrote Graham alongside a video of the couple: Nine years ago today, I married the love of my life. It has been the best journey with my favorite person in the world! Today, we are feeling so blessed, grateful and excited to celebrate with our GROWING FAMILY! Happy anniversary, @mrjustinervin. Life is about to get even better. Ervin, a 30-year old who works as a director, also expressed his enthusiasm on Instagram. He shared a sonogram photo, as well as two throwback shots of the pair, and wrote along with them: “To my forever love and my daily inspiration. Happy anniversary @ashleygraham These 9 years have played out like a lifetime. I guess it’s because my life really started once you came into it. Now that we’ve made a life together, let’s make a life together. I love you and I love us. All of us… Graham has become one of the most successful models around, originally merely known as a “plus-sized” model, but now widely respected for reasons that go far beyond her fuller figure. Yet… while she’s dedicated the past few years to this field, Graham also made it clear way back in 2016 that she wanted to start a family. “We are going to totally have kids. We are probably going to do it in the next few years. Just a part of my brand building,” she told Entertainment Weekly about four years ago.” The beauty reiterated this hope when talking to ELLE just this past January. “For me, being a wife and being a woman, happiness doesn’t equate to having kids,” she explained to this publication, adding sensibly: “Kids will come when they come. Happiness right now, is building with my husband and building my business.” Graham and Ervin met at church in New York City and got married when the model was 22. We’re so very happy for her!

Farrah Abraham Rocks Red Carpet, Looks Like a Mannequin

This not exactly just in: Farrah Abraham had undergone a tremendous amount of plastic surgery. This has never exactly been a secret, as the reality star has talked often about going under the knife. But she appears less recognizable than almost ever before, confusing and scaring fans with her appearance in recent videos and in recent photos. The latest case in point? Farrah stopping by something called BeautyCon in Los Angeles and looking rather… unique on the red carpet. See what we mean below. 1. Rocking a Red Carpet Farrah and young Sophia Abraham attend Beautycon Los Angeles 2019 at the Los Angeles Convention Center on August 10, 2019. 2. Wait, She Brought Sophia? D’uh! Is this your first time ever meeting Farrah or something? She takes her kid everywhere. 3. Is This Healthy? Probably not. Yes, mother/daughter time is always a good thing, but should a very young woman really be made out this way and exposed to Hollywood in this way? 4. But Back to Farrah… We’re not the only ones taken aback by her appearance these days. Upon quick glance, we’d swear this is a mannequin. 5. What are Fans Saying? One user wrote on Reddit, “She looks like a completely different person.” 6. Added Another User: “I hope for Farrah it’s only Botox and it wears out over time.” And another: “Oh my gosh I wouldn’t have recognized Farrah!” View Slideshow

Todd Chrisley Indicted for Tax Evasion, Reality Show Gets the Axe

Forgive the most obvious pun in content writing history, but… … it turns out that Todd Chrisley does NOT actually know best. Or, perhaps the reality star does know best, if the subject at hand is how to try and avoid paying one’s taxes. This perfect segue is relevant because the veteran USA Network and his wife, Julie, have been indicted by a federal grand jury for tax evasion, as well as other financial crimes, according to local news station WSBTV. The indictment includes a dozen charges. Among the most serious? Wire fraud, conspiracy to commit bank fraud and conspiracy to defraud the United States. In a statement obtained by People Magazine on Tuesday, Todd’s lawyer, Bruce H. Morris and Stephen Friedberg, said the following: “The allegations contained in the indictment are based on complete falsehoods. The Chrisleys are innocent of all charges.” The embattled couple rose to fame as the patriarch and matriarch of Chrisley Knows Best, a reality show that basically just chronicles their lives — and the lives of their three kids — as very rich residents of Atlanta and then Nashville. It has run for seven seasons and recently debuted a spinoff called “Growing Up Chrisley,” starring a pair of these Chrisley children. According to Radar Online, however, executives have chosen not to sign Todd and Julie to new contracts, effectively canceling their long-running series. This website source claims producers have “decided to distance themselves as much as possible” from Todd and Juli,e as well as their children Savannah, Chase and Grayson. For the record, though, USA has not yet issued a statement to confirm this move. In an Instagram post Monday, a day before the 12 charges were filed, Todd insisted that he and his wife had done nothing wrong. He wrote a lengthy message that started as follows: “I’ve never talked about this publicly before, but there’s been a cloud hanging over Julie and me and our entire family for the past seven years. It all started back in 2012, when we discovered that a trusted employee of ours had been stealing from us big time.” While Chrisley said that he wouldn’t “go into details,” he alleged that the case “involved all kinds of really bad stuff like creating phony documents, forging our signatures, and threatening other employees with violence if they said anything.” And he continued: We even discovered that he illegally bugged our home. Needless to say, we fired the guy and took him to court — and that’s when the real trouble started. To get revenge, he took a bunch of his phony documents to the U.S. Attorney’s office and told them we had committed all kinds of financial crimes, like tax evasion and bank fraud. That got their attention all right, but once we had a chance to explain who he was and what he’d done to us, they realized it was all a bunch of nonsense and they sent him on his way. After delving into a few other details about how this indictment came to be, Todd concluded: “We know we’ve done nothing wrong… “I’m telling you all this now because we have nothing to hide and have done nothing to be ashamed of. Not only do we know we’ve done nothing wrong, but we’ve got a ton of hard evidence and a bunch of corroborating witnesses that proves it.” Shortly after Todd released this statement, daughter Savannah Chrisley left a supportive comment. “Thank you for being YOU! You have and always will be the glue that holds us all together. God has a much bigger plan for all of us and this is just part of it,” she wrote. We can’t say for sure whether or not Chrisley is guilty. But he’s just the latest wealthy reality star to get in trouble with the law over major financial issues. Both Abby Lee Miller of Dance Moms and Teresa Giudice of The Real Housewives of New Jersey spent time in jail for their roles in illegal monetary schemes.

13 TV Couples With Absolutely No Chemistry

Some TV couples suck. There , we said it.  Despite trying to push some couples to endgame status, some are very clearly not that into each other.  The Hollywood Gossip has rounded up 13 couples who have a grand total of zero chemistry.  Sorry … not sorry.    1. Kara and Mon-El – Supergirl Mon-El was one of the worst characters on Supergirl, and it was largely because the producers tried to put force them together. Mon-El was officially exiled from the series about a year after his debut. 2. Jackson and Maggie – Grey’s Anatomy Jackson and Maggie were believable as friends, but not so much as a couple. They need to give up on their relationship, or they run the risk of not being friends ever again. 3. Ray and Felicity – Arrow On a show that’s all about the relationship between Oliver and Felicity, Felicity’s short-lived relationship with Ray felt like a mere plot device to throw in some drama. There was a severe lack of chemistry between the characters. 4. George and Izzie – Grey’s Anatomy George pursued Izzie pretty much from the get-go on Grey’s Anatomy, but there was nothing there, and fans picked up on that. It’s just a shame that Shonda Rhimes did not. 5. Zelena and Hades – Once Upon a Time Just when it seemed like Zelena was on the road to becoming one of the good guys, she decided to embark on a relationship with Hades. It was … tedious. Two villains don’t make a right. 6. Bill and Sookie – True Blood Bill and Sookie were the central couple on this HBO series, but fans were shipping Sookie and Eric from the get-go. That shows you how crappy the OG pairing was. View Slideshow

Jared Haibon Reflects on Wedding to Ashley Iaconetti, Makes All of Bachelor Nation Cry

WARNING: You will need a box of tissues while reading the following post. Actually, you better make it two boxes. Just to be safe. On Monday morning, just several hours after exchanging vows with Ashley Iaconetti — in front of friends, family members and loved ones in Rhode Island — Jared Haibon jumped on Instagram and gushed over his brand new wife. And we mean he GUSHED over her. “There’s so many emotions running through my body right now,” Jared wrote on Instagram alongside a photo from his wedding day. He continued in equally sentimental fashion: “I woke up yesterday morning, the day of my wedding, crying. Not from sadness, or fear. I was crying because I was so overwhelmed with happiness, excitement, gratefulness and humbleness. “Ashley is my best friend, my person, my soulmate and now my wife. I love this woman more than words will ever allow me to express.” Ashley and Jared starred together on Bachelor in Paradise Season 2 and got engaged on Bachelor in Paradise Season 5. In between, they dated on and off until Jared admits he got a “kick in the ass” by seeing Ashley in a serious relationship with someone else. At that point, in early 2018, the pair got serious and then got engaged a few months later. Added Haibon in this new Instagram message: In the coming days/weeks/months, I’ll be sharing so many pictures and videos from our wedding because it was the best day of my life. At this moment, I truly feel like the luckiest man in the world. According to various insiders and outlets, the romantic  wedding featured personal vows from both the bride and groom. Bachelor in Paradise producer Elan Gale officiated and familiar names in attendance included Nick Viall, Dean Unglert and couple Jason Tartick and Kaitlyn Bristowe. Elsewhere, American Idol’s David Cook actually perform “Ever the Same” for the couple’s first dance, just like he did at our wedding. Just kidding. This one sounds far more special than that of anyone on The Hollywood Gossip staff. “It was just a big party! The DJ played a lot of Disney songs, musical soundtracks and Backstreet Boys—the music was very Ashley,” an E! source says, adding: “There was a lot of dancing and it went pretty late but a bunch of people continued partying afterward… “Ashley was a glowing gorgeous bride. She was so happy all night. You could tell they both were so happy.” What else do we know about the big day? The bride and groom exchanged Neil Lane wedding bands — and Dunkin’ Donuts even teamed with Banga Portrait Studio to provide custom edible photo donuts as an extra-special treat. How fun!

Kaitlynn Carter: Is She Really DATING Miley Cyrus?!

They may have been overshadowed by the suspicious death of Jeffrey Epstein, but Miley Cyrus and Kaitlynn Carter were easily the second biggest story on social media over the weekend. In case you somehow missed the drama, it all unfolded like this: Miley and Liam Hemsworth announced that they had separated after less than a year of marriage. Shortly thereafter, photos of Miley making out with Kaitlynn Carter began to make their way around social media. Kaitlynn recently broke up with Brody Jenner of The Hills /”being a Jenner” fame. We later learned that the pic of Carter and Cyrus locking lips was actually taken before Miley and Liam announced their split. It’s a lot to take in, but basically, the upshot of all this is that last week, Kaitlynn was a Z-list reality star who had recently parted ways with a D-list reality star, and now she’s one of the most googled people on the internet. It seems the millions who are currently searching Kaitlynn’s name mainly have two questions — who the hell is she? And is she actually dating Miley? We’ll do our best to answer them here and spare you any further confusion over Kait-gate. For starters, Carter is a 30-year-old fashion blogger, because of course she is. Kaitlynn kicked off her “digital diary” entitled Hey, Ms. Carter in 2014, but she hasn’t updated since July of this year, when she posted about designing her own wedding dress. Ending your half-assed business venture within weeks of marrying a wealthy pseudo-celeb is some of the most shameless clout-chasing we’ve ever seen, and we commend Kaitlynn for it. Unfortunately, she messed up in one crucial respect, as it seems that she and Brody were never legally married. That means Kait will never get a piece of that sweet Jenner fortune — but as a consolation prize, she did get a piece of Miley. Prior to this weekend, Carter’s biggest claim to fame was a few scenes on The Hills reboot. Now, the whole internet knows her name (or at least the portions of the internet who didn’t spend all weekend wondering how an inmate on suicide watch could possibly commit suicide without the guards knowing!). As for what the future holds for Kaitlynn and Miley, for now, at least, it looks like their hookup was nothing more than that. Both are fresh from very serious relationships, and we would be very surprised if anything serious developed there. But you never know — after all, Miley is unpredictable and Kaitlynn has nothing to lose! View Slideshow: Miley Cyrus Tattoos: Which is Your Favorite?

Kris Jenner Tries to Mend Her Broken Family in KUWTK Sneak Peek

Keeping Up With The Kardashians continues to be a success, which is why Kris Jenner wants a huge raise for the whole family. From the looks of what's going down in this new sneak peek, every one of them is going to earn that massive salary. Kris has taken her family into the middle of nowhere so that they can address their issues. And her plan for that is absolutely insane. In this new sneak peek clip for  Keeping Up With The Kardashians , the family is in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Sadly, they're not there to take viewers on a tour of their lives as they hunt fellow humans for sport. (Can you imagine how good Kris would be at that, though?) They are all wearing very goofy cowboy getups, which leads Kris to remark that Kendall looks like Jessie from  Toy Story . She's absolutely right. “So, in case you’re wondering why I wanted to bring you all to Jackson Hole [Wyoming],” Kris acknowledges once the group is assembled. The momager expresses: “I think we just really needed some family bonding time.” “I feel like things are a little bit off,” Kris assesses. “And,” she adds. “We really need to press a reset button.” “And have a fresh start,” Kris suggests. “So that we all feel really good about where we are.” “Each one of us has maybe a small to medium sized issue with another,” Kris reveals. Family tensions can grow out of controll if they're not addressed. “And,” she expresses. “I really think we need to work on the things that are bothering us internally.” That is always good advice! You have to make nice or things will fester and get worse. Kris wants to focus on those issues “and working together as a family and a team.” This is when the music starts to get a little silly — both dramatic and inspirational. “I think what I want to do is family morale, team-building exercises,” Kris suggests. Ordinarily, that wiould sound like absolute hell on Earth. But with the Kardashians, it could be entertaining. She wants to engage in activities “where we can do things where we have to work together.” These are all efforts “to try to rebuild our bond.” “Because listen,” Kris says. “We’re ride or die right?” “This family will never be some group that falls apart in any way, shape, or form,” Kris affirms. She explains that this is “because we always have each other's backs.” “That being said, Kourtney,” Kris says. “We're going to take you back to your roots.” She explains: “And you're going to go on a cattle-drive.” Oh, boy. See, back before  Keeping Up With The Kardashians , Kourtney made her first foray into reality television. In 2005, the eldest of Kris' progeny appeared on E!'s  Cattle Drive , which ran from August through October of that year. That doesn't exactly make her an expert, but it probably means that she knows more about bovines than most of us. Referring to that as Kourtney's “roots” is … objectively pretty funny. What Kris has in mind sounds like a very entertaining mess — but will it be the family bonding activity that she hopes? The rest of us should be grateful that, as adults, we can just decline ridiculous demands for family team-building. The Kardashians are bound by contract to go along with Kris' schemes.

Jill Duggar: Do NOT Stay In An Abusive Relationship, Ladies!

Jill Duggar is speaking out about something that was most likely an unpopular topic in the conservative Duggar household growing up.  But, the Counting On star is encouraging women to leave their husbands… if he is abusive.  While it seems like a pretty obvious solution, leaving an abusive relationship can be extremely hard. But Jill is here to let you know that it can be done. The 28-year-old recently revealed that her friend just got out of a life-threatening relationship with her spouse, and now she is advocating for all domestic violence victims . Jill was quick to act and immediately posted about the situation on her Instagram stories, sharing statistics and resources for all out there who need help.  The series of photos read: “A friend of mine recently shared on social media her story as a victim of abuse,” she wrote.  “Thankfuly, she is out of the harmful relationship alive.” “Did you know? 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have experienced some form of physical violence by an intimate partner,” she added, and in some cases, they are not considered “domestic violence.” Jill then posted a screengrab from the Instagram account “Understanding the Narc” which offered a checklist to help people identify certain qualities in their partner, guiding them to whether or not he/she is a sociopath.  While this may be reminding you of popular Hollywood thrillers, such as “Gone Girl”, this is real. This happens. And it is heartbreaking.  Jill, fortunately, took this chance to directly address her followers, telling them, “Don’t turn a blind eye!” and “Support those who need help around you.” She continued to post statistics from the NCADV and phone numbers for victims to call, she even shared an article called, “Why Do Victims Stay?” In the article, the organization explains why many victims stay, one of the more popular reasons being that women from patriarchial faiths and families often stay due to outdated gender roles and not believing in divorce.  Jill’s call to action may seem out of place, as her family members are firm nonbelievers of divorce and definitely have outdated ideas on gender roles . They also don’t believe in mental illnesses or personality disorders… instead of turning to therapy or medication, the Duggar clan relies on prayer and home remedies.  But the fact that Jill is willing to recommend divorce and safety to women of violence is very telling. Perhaps, this Duggar is finally seeing the light of day ? To drive her point home and prove that she’s not that radical , Jill ended her photo chain with a Bible verse from Proverbs 24:11 which read: “Rescue those who are being taken away to death,  hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter.” National Domestic Violence Hotline can help victims, survivors of domestic violence.
