No funemployment for this broad. Tamar Braxton may have been let go from The Real, but another opportunity has come her way that might be even better. According to the Chicago Tribune , Steve Harvey had Braxton on his radio show on June 2nd. During their interview, Harvey announced that he had signed a deal to produce a new TV talk show for Braxton. “We saw the opportunity of what people may recognize as the end, but it’s not,” Harvey said, in reference to The Real ‘s decision to part ways with the reality star and singer. “It’s such a beginning. She has such a bright future. She is such a star. She has so much to offer,” Braxton couldn’t hold in her excitement, so she posted an ecstatic note to Instagram: “…But when GOD has a RAM in the bush❣thanks so much to my dear friend @iamsteveharveytv @marjorie_harvey Gerald, my baby Vince for such an AMAZING opportunity. I love u guys and can’t WAIT for what is to come #iaintsorry✌
Nathan Griffith wasn’t the worst boyfriend that Jenelle Evans ever had, but that’s not saying much. Nathan and Jenelle were engaged at one point, and though they never walked down the aisle, they did have a son together. Obviously, that means they’re more or less bound together for life, and as far as we can tell, they deserve each other. Just last week, Evans and Griffith reached a custody agreement , but it seems ex-couple’s court battles are far from over. Jenelle and Nathan were back in front of a judge in North Carolina today because apparently no one briefed Nate on just how expensive it is to raise a kid before he went and knocked Jenelle up. According to Radar Online, Jenelle filed for child support from Nathan back in March, but he has yet to make a single payment. The problem, it seems, is that Nathan feels that he should only have to pay $100 a month, which might be enough to cover the living expenses of a dog, but not a human child. View Slideshow: Jenelle Evans & Nathan Griffith: A TMI, Sometimes Rocky Romance The judge found in Jenelle’s favor, which is a phrase you don’t read every day. We suppose it’s a testament to just how ridiculous Nathan’s request was that she and Griffith were in and out of the courtroom in a matter of minutes. “He has to pay $311 plus child support payments from back when I filed which is March, April, May and June,” Evans told Radar. It’s believed that Jenelle banks in the high six-figure range for her “work” on Teen Mom 2 , and then there’s whatever she makes from public appearances and promotional work. So it might seem strange to quibble with her ex over a couple hundred bucks, but why should Nathan get to get away with being a deadbeat just because Jenelle is the richest trainwreck in NC? Plus we imagine it felt good to actually win in court for once. Watch Teen Mom 2 online to relive the many ups and downs (mostly downs) of Jenelle and Nathan’s relationship.

We think it’s safe to say that Khloe Kardashian has a type. And that type is professional athletes. Usually Khloe sticks to basketball players, but it seems she’s mixing it up these days. Recent rumors have Khloe dating New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham, Jr., and insiders say Khlodell started getting serious almost immediately. Yes, you can tell it’s the real deal by the fact that they already have a couple nickname. Media Takeout reports that Khloe and Odell have been “low key seeing each other for months,” but only went public this past weekend. The new couple attended Drake’s Memorial Day party in Los Angeles on Monday, where they apparently made no effort to conceal that they’re dating. Sources say they’d planned to keep the relationship under wraps longer, but were aware that they had been spotted making out at 1Oak the night before, and thus decided to officially let the cat out of the bag at Drizzy’s. Like Khloe, Odell prefers A-list lady friends to the company of mere mortals. Back in February, Beckham was rumored to be dating Zendaya . Sources say their age difference – coupled with the strictness of the Disney star’s dad, who insisted on chaperoning their dates – eventually led Beckham and Zendaya to amicably part ways. Prior to that relationship, Beckham was linked to Amber Rose . It remains to be seen if that’ll create problems, as Amber and Khloe have been feuding on and off for years. For her part, Khloe was dating James Harden of the Houston Rockets until she turned her attention back to her estranged husband, Lamar Odom, when a drug overdose nearly claimed his life. Khloe filed for divorce from Odom (after years of separation) earlier this month, so we guess it’s smooth sailing ahead for Khlodell. Well, as smooth as it can be when you’re dating a Kardashian.

Director Michael Bay is kind of a jerk, and everybody knows it. While promoting her new movie, Love & Friendship on The Graham Norton Show in the UK on May 27th, Kate Beckinsale brought up the fact that her Pearl Harbor director, Michael Bay was very good at body-shaming women. “I think he was baffled by me because my boobs weren’t bigger than my head and I wasn’t blonde,” Beckinsale said when they made the 2001 blockbuster. “I’d just had my daughter and had lost weight, but I was told that if I got the part, I’d have to work out. And I just didn’t understand why a 1940s nurse would do that.” (For the record, Beckinsale has admitted to having an eating disorder in the past) Even after filming wrapped, Bay was still obnoxious as hell. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Have Struggled with Eating Disorders “When we were promoting the film, Michael was asked why he had chosen Ben and Josh, and he said, ‘I have worked with Ben before and I love him, and Josh is so manly and a wonderful actor,’” Beckinsale recalled. “Then when he was asked about me, he’d say, ‘Kate wasn’t so attractive that she would alienate the female audience.’ He kept saying it everywhere we went — and we went to a lot of places!” Beckinsale isn’t the first actress to call out Bay for his somewhat misogynistic tendancies. Megan Fox claimed he was a nightmare to work for during Transformers . ” He’s like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation,” Fox told Wonderland in 2009. “He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he’s a nightmare to work for but when you get him away from set, and he’s not in director mode, I kind of really enjoy his personality because he’s so awkward, so hopelessly awkward. “He has no social skills at all. And it’s endearing to watch him. He’s vulnerable and fragile in real life and then on set he’s a tyrant.” That…sounds like someone I would never want to have dinner with. Ever. Michael Bay: Attacked on Set!
Sister Wives Season 7 Episode 5 focused on Meri Brown getting a present for Kody in order to move past that whole catfish cataclysm. Picking up where last week – really the previous four weeks – left off, Sister Wives Season 7 Episode 5 addressed Meri’s epic scandal. As she works repair the broken trust caused by her catfishing scandal, she creates artwork for each of the wives to represent the family. Both the polygamous family collectively, and each individual family. She notes that Robyn and Kody’s painting features palm trees and a rising sun to show the fact that they are in the “sunrise” of their relationship. It’s a nice sentiment, but … where do we even begin with all this. When you watch Sister Wives online , you know that the romance of Meri and Kody is nonexistent; they’re no longer at the start of anything. The fact that Meri Brown was catfished by a woman pretending to be a man doesn’t even seem to bother Kody all that much on merit. If anything, he just seems confused as to why she’d be lonely. This after Meri gave him a legal divorce so he could marry Robyn too. Guy seems so utterly clueless it’s getting to be a little ridiculous. Apology trees are one thing, healing relationships are another. Even Meri knows this deep down. “I broke trust with a lot of people just because I handled things so poorly,” she says to the cameras. She wants everyone to know she is still here, however, and is there to stay, no matter what insecurities she has or what she’s done. The kids are a big factor, of course. Maybe the only factor. And yet, when Meri asks Robyn if she can bring Solomon with her on a trip to see Mariah, only to be denied, this proves telling as well. Yes, Meri loves all of the children as if they were hers, but at the end of the day, they are the biological offspring of Kody and others. The simplest reality can be the hardest to swallow.

Most shows save big events like the deaths of beloved characters for season finales, but not Game of Thrones . D.B. Weiss and David Benioff went and killed off Hodor in a midseason shocker last week, leaving many to wonder if the show would be able to continue upping the ante with “Blood of My Blood.” One thing most fans hoped the show wouldn’t do going into this year is get too deep in the weeds with the mystical mumbo-jumbo, but thus far Bran and Arya’s storylines have been two of this season’s most compelling. Not only have they made for pulse-pounding drama (see: “Hold the door!”) but they’ve helped to demonstrate how some of the more arcane aspects of the show’s elaborate mythology tie into the current fight over the Iron Throne. Nowhere is this better demonstrated than in Bran’s flashback that takes place while he and Meera are fleeing some seriously aggressive White Walkers. View Slideshow: Hodor Shocker: The Internet’s Best Reactions to Game of Thrones’ “Hold the Door!” Scene His visions cover everything from his own near-fatal fall at the hands of Jaime Lannister to the lunatic rantings of “the Mad King” Aerys II Targaryen. Bran’s haphazard warging is interrupted by a real-life blast from the past, as a man who looks a lot like Benjen Stark swoops in to save the day (and confirm a popular fan theory ). From there, it’s back to the ’90s sitcom that is Sam and Gilly’s mismatched love affair. At first it looks like his return home will go smoothly, but you had to know that wasn’t gonna last… With the Internet’s gnashing of teeth and rending of garments over the death of Willas (aka Hodor), it’s easy to forget that last week’s episode promised a major conflict at Margaery’s scheduled walk of shame. It seems at first that Tommen’s queen has actually been taken in by the High Sparrow’s sanctimonious BS, but based on her reaction to her brother Loras’ lowly state, we’re guessing she’s got something up her sleeve. The gods may have a plan for us all, but something tells us Margaery has several plans for the High Sparrow. Predictably, the Tarley family reunion goes awry when Sam’s father does his douchey thing, and Gilly accidentally spills the beans about being a Wildling. Is it just us or did the convo about whether or not White Walkers exist remind anyone else of a Thanksgiving argument about global warming? Anyway, the good news is that Sam’s mom is every bit as cool as he always claimed. The bad news is that his dad is every bit as dickish as we were led to believe, and he promptyl gives his son the boot while allowing Gilly and Sam’s child to stay. View Slideshow: Game of Thrones Season 6 Episode 6 Photos: Life in a Post-Hodor World Just as it looked like Sam would be cowed by his dad once again, he returns for Gilly and peaces out with the family sword, thus providing one of this season’s most satisfying “f–k yeah!” moments. Hell, we enjoyed Sam’s revenge almost as much as Arya enjoyed watching the re-enactment of Joffrey’s death. Almost. As the show goes on (complete with a poop-joke heavy cameo for the always-fantastic Richard E. Grant) it looks like Arya finally is finally going to carry out one of her ordered assassinations. Unfortunately (or fortunately, if you’re that rum-loving actress), it seems The Girl just doesn’t have what it takes to be a hit woman for a freaky cult. It’s always tough to give up on a dream (even when that dream is taking lives for the Many-Faced God), but we’re glad to see the return of the old Arya (and Needle!) After Arya turns tail, it’s finally time for the showdown at King’s Landing. Or at least it would’ve been, were it not for the fact that Tommen is thoroughly under the spell of Margaery’s vagina, and in this case it’s told him that Bernie Sparrow is leading a political revolution. (Just joshin’, Senator Sanders!) (Side bar: The show is primarily about the battle for the Iron Throne, and we’re guessing the average casual viewer couldn’t tell you the name of the current king. Just a thought.) From there, it’s the return of Walder Frey, a character who was missed by exactly no one. As if one unpleasant reminder of the Red Wedding wasn’t enough Walder trots out the Catelyn Stark’s brother, Edmure Tully, who is apparently being held captive at the Twins. What does it mean that Walder is using him as a tool to regain Riverrun? It’s not totally clear, but we’re sure it’s not good news for Edmure or the Blackfish. This season has done an incredible job of intertwining seemingly unrelated storylines, and that’s never more apparent than when we learn that the banished Jaime Lannister is being “sent to deal with the Blackfish” on Walder’s behalf. Jaime is understandably pissed that the High Sparrow has won over his son, but we’re having trouble being sympathetic. Maybe it’s because this episode featured a flashback to that unfortunate little incident in which he crippled Bran for life. Speaking of Bran, he and Meera are back on the road, this time with the mysterious stranger who, to the surprise of absolutely no one, turns out to be Benjen Stark. It seems the writers are going for the “most storylines in a single episode” record this time out by briefly checking in with Daenerys and her ever-expanding khalassar. Naturally, she swoops in on her newly-recovered dragon and gives a stirring speech in Dothraki, because this is the Season of the Badass Final Scene. Despite the many ways in which this episode moved the plot forward “Blood of My Blood” might be the most uneventful installment of Season Six thus far. And that’s okay. We’ve been needing a chance to catch out breath, and place-setting episodes of GoT are usually followed by something seriously epic. At the very least, hopefully we’ll get some freakin’ Tyrion next week! Watch Game of Thrones onlin e to remind yourself of who the hell the Blackfish is.

Mark Salling, former star of the hit show Glee , has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of receiving and possessing child pornography. The 33-year-old was indicted on two counts of child porn after he was arrested and his laptop seized last December, reports TMZ. Salling’s computer and a flash drive allegedly stored thousands of images and videos depicting child porn. Images of a “prepubescent minor and a minor under 12” were found. “Young victims are harmed every time an image is generated, every time it is distributed and every time it is viewed,” said U.S. Attorney Eileen Decker. Salling could face up to 20 years in prison on the count of receiving child pornography and 20 years for possession. At the time of the December arrest, the actor was booked in downtown Los Angeles and later released on $20,000 bail. When the news first broke, friends close to him were shocked . He had a reputation as a huge flirt, even coming off as “skeezy,” according to one Hollywood insider. However, they didn’t expect this. “This isn’t the guy I know at all,” a friend of Salling said at the time. “I have to believe his computer was hacked.” Unfortunately, this was not the first sex-related offense Salling has been accused of. In 2013, an ex-girlfriend accused Salling of sexual battery after forcing her to have sex without a condom and later pushing her to the ground. They eventually settled out of court for $2.7 million.
