Azealia Banks Is Using Magic Beard Hair to Protect Twitter’s CEO From ISIS. Seriously.

This morning, our large adult president, Donald Trump, took to Twitter to share the news that ISIS has been defeated in Syria. This is obviously BS, as the terrorist group claimed credit for an attack in Raqqa just ten minutes before Trump’s announcement, but still — the optimistic assessment must have come as welcome news to one of the internet’s most prominent bearded weirdos. In case you’re unfamiliar, Twitter founder and CEO Jack Dorsey is what would happen if someone took Mark Zuckerberg’s obliviousness to Nazis and mashed it together with Russell Brand’s performative spirituality. As you can see from his attire, at all times Dorsey is prepared to do DMT with Joe Rogan at a moment’s notice. As far as we know, that consciousness-elevating bro-down has yet to transpire, but Dorsey has spent a lot of time jawing about chakras and sh-t with another one of social media’s favorite weirdos. Even if you’re not familiar with Azealia Banks’ music, you’re probably aware of some of her bizarre celebrity feuds. Most recently, Banks attacked Elon Musk in a bizarre social media tirade, claiming that she witness the Tesla CEO making important business decisions while tripping on acid. At the time, a lot of media outlets cast doubts on Banks’ claims, but perhaps we should give her the benefit of the doubt — as eccentric CEOs really seem to let their guard down around the rapper. Before she was booted off Twitter in 2016, Banks tweeted that Dorsey has “sent me his hair in an envelope because I was supposed to make him an amulet for protection.” On that occasion as well, the claim was widely dismissed, but now — in the Christmas miracle we never knew we needed —  it’s been confirmed that Dorsey asked Banks to use her witchcraft  to protect him from ISIS: “A source who worked with him told me Dorsey had sent a rapper his beard shavings to make him an amulet that would protect him from evildoers,” Vanity Fair reporter Nicky Bilton wrote in a recent profile of Dorsey. Proving that American journalism is alive, well, and thriving in these difficult times, Spin magazine picked up the ball and ran with it, confirming that the rapper in question was indeed Banks: “At the time, Banks said Dorsey promised to promote her mixtape Slay-Z in exchange for her promoting his cash transfer app Square and her crafting him a magical object that might protect him from ISIS, which had threatened Dorsey in a video earlier that year,” SPIN wrote. “Dorsey never tweeted about the project and presumably never received the amulet.” In other words, Dorsey sought protection from ISIS, didn’t get it, and pissed off a famously short-tempered witch in the process. Not only that, dude shaved his beard for nothing! Without outlandish facial hair, how are people supposed to know he’s a rich a-hole who meditates, and not just some regular rich a-hole?!

Tyler Baltierra: I’m a Terrible Husband and I Don’t Deserve Catelynn!

There was a time when Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra were considered the most stable couple in the Teen Mom franchise. Sadly, those days are long gone. Yes, Cate and Tyler are still together … but barely. Lowell and Baltierra underwent a trial separation recently, and while both made it clear that they're hoping to save their marriage, it seems the process is taking a tremendous emotional toll. Take a look: 1. The Troiubled Couple Tyler and Catelynn have been enduring quite the rough patch lately — and they haven’t been shy about sharing their struggles with fans. 2. Both Struggling Tyler and Catelynn have both been diagnosed with mental disorders, and while they’re both seeking treatment, the situation has put a strain on their marriage. 3. Gone Girl? Lowell spent much of the past year in an Arizona treatment facility, and many fans accused her of abandoning her family. 4. Supportive Husband Tyler remained supportive throughout Catelynn’s many stints in rehab, happily assuming single dad responsibilities. 5. Taking a Toll However, it appears that the many ups and downs of the past year have taken a tremendous psychological toll on Tyler. 6. Scapegoat Cate Through it all, Catelynn has taken most of the blame for the couple’s problems. View Slideshow

Caleb Williams: Jana Duggar’s Alleged Ex Responds to Sexual Assault Allegations

On Tuesday, we reported on news that Jana Duggar’s longtime friend Caleb Williams has been accused of sexual assault . Earlier this year, there were rumors that Jana and Caleb were dating , but neither party ever confirmed those reports. A source close to the Duggar family exclusively informed The Hollywood Gossip that Caleb had been arrested for having sex with an underage girl. “Caleb has been arrested for Criminal Sex with a minor [in] Logan County Illinois,” the insider wrote in an email to THG. “Duggar family better check their little ones! This is a dangerous fella. Williams are trying their best to cover it up.” The tipster went on to inform us that Caleb’s brother was recently arrested for child abuse. And apparently, the well-heeled Williams family has been working hard to ensure that both men avoid prison sentences: “Both boys were avoiding arrest warrants by changing address and hiding in their homes when paper were trying to be served,” says the source. Obviously, that didn’t work. For many, the situation brings to mind the infamous Josh Duggar sex scandals of 2015, during which, it was revealed that Jana’s older brother had molested five young girls. (It is not currently known if Jana was one of his victims.) One important difference, however, is that Caleb might not find it quite so easy to avoid jail. According to Radar Online, Caleb has a court date coming up in January, and prosecutors aren’t taking any chances. Williams was indicted on two counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault in November. He is currently on probation and is not permitted to leave the state of Illinois or have contact with anyone under the age of 18. According to court documents obtained by Radar, Caleb stands accused of “placing his finger and his penis inside of a minor who was between the ages of 13 to 17.” The crimes allegedly occurred “on or between May 29, 2015 through August 1, 2016,” and “on or between August 1, 2016 through May 31, 2018.” Caleb spent one night in jail when he was first arrested, but he was reportedly bailed out by his mother. We’ll have further updates on this developing story as more information becomes available. View Slideshow: Jana Duggar: 13 Reasons Why … is She Still Single?

Larissa Lima and Colt Johnson: Still Together and Still Awful!

After he was exposed as a cheater, Colt Johnson claimed that 90 Day Fiance fame went to his head and made him cheat. Now, Colt is publicly apologizing to his wife and condemning fans who rush to judge him. Meanwhile, Larissa is claiming that, despite her domestic battery arrests , she has never been abusive to Colt. Speaking to InTouch Weekly , Larissa Dos Santos Lima condemns claims that she was abusive to Colt. “I was not abusive to Colt,” Larissa insists. She refers to both her behavior on 90 Day Fiance and to her two domestic battery arrests. “Anything pointing otherwise is extremely edited or taken out of context,” she claims. It’s true that reality shows, 90 Day Fiance included, may edit out context. But are we to believe that police reports about them do the same? Despite the recent revelations about Colt’s rampant cheating on her with various Instagram women, Larissa isn’t giving up. “I love Colt,” Larissa insists. “And we have normal relationship troubles like any other couple.” For the record, some friction with Colt’s mom is normal. The cheating, the domestic battery arrests, and the toxic fighting are not . “I understand his actions,” Larissa says. “And I will forgive him.” Yikes. “A true relationship,” Larissa believes. “Is two imperfect people unwilling to give up on each other.” In one of the messages that Larissa exposed, Colt claimed to an Instagram mistress that Larissa was “violent.” Within the context of the message, it appeared that he was using that as an excuse for why his online affair had to remain a secret. “He was lying to these girls,” Larissa says. “It was already proved.” “He was talking to a girl making promises of a relationship,” Larissa notes. “And talking to others as well behind her back.” “He was saying whatever he wanted to make these girls feel sorry for him,” Larissa points out. “If I was an abusive wife,” Larissa says. “He could just get divorced.” There are many abuse victims who have to stay with their partners for financial security, for their children, for citizenship, or in fear of their lives. As far as we know, Colt has no such ties forcing him to stay with Larissa. Larissa says that if she were abusive, “he would not be here right now asking me to come back to him.” “He is [begging] for forgiveness,” she characterizes. “So,” Larissa asks, in the eyes of some fans, “how come I am abusive?” Most of that was pretty well-reasoned. Unfortunately, Larissa then takes things too far and shoots herself in the foot. “The real abuse is the humiliation of being cheated,” Larissa claims. Cheating is a dicksh thing to do, but it is by no means as bad as abuse. Equating the two makes it sound like domestic violence is much less serious than it really is. “I am the abused victim here,” Larissa concludes, to the frustration of fans who have begun to root for her. At best, they may hope that something has been lost in translation from her native Portuguese. Larissa and Colt both shared a message that Colt wrote on Instagram. “All of these accusations are ridiculous and need to stop,” Colt insists. “Whatever problems I have in MY relationship,” he writes. “I’ll deal with them.” He doesn’t want advice on how to apologize or how to not cheat or how to not be a condescending jerk to her constantly. Colt says: “I will work on them in private.” Last week, fans learned of Colt’s multiple flirtations on social media. But Colt says that none of it is serious — at least, not anymore. “There is nobody special for me,” Colt writes. He clarifies: “There is no new girlfriend.” And to think that he’d been telling some women that he and Larissa were secretly separated but not telling anyone yet. “I love Larissa,” Colt claims. “And,” he continues. “I want to fight for our relationship.” Colt concludes: “and I apologize for all the pain I caused to her.” This couple has seemed toxic since Larissa stepped off the plane. Can they really make it work? Only time will tell. For now, Larissa is taking a break from social media. View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance: Most Shocking Scandals Exposed!

Shannon Beador Accused of Alcoholism, Endangering Her Children

The Real Housewives of Orange County star Shannon Beador continues feuding with fellow Housewives , but she’s also caught up in another fight. Her ex-husband, David, is accusing her of being an alcoholic. He has filed papers with the court to prevent her from drinking — at all — when she’s spending time with their teen daughters. Us Weekly confirms that David Beador filed papers with the court, hoping to forbid Shannon from drinking around their teenage daughters. “The mother has publicly stated on television within the last month, she ‘self-medicates’ with alcohol,” the documents accuse. Discussing your personal life is part of being a reality star, but your words can be thrown back in your face in court if you’re not careful. “That behavior is detrimental to the children,” David’s attorney claims. Their children are Sophie, who is 16, and twins Stella and Adeline, who are each 14. According to David’s team’s request, Shannon would be under very strict rules that go beyond avoiding having wine with dinner. The proposed court order would prevent Shannon from drinking at all while the girls are with her. That would include a ban on drinking eight hours before the girls come to stay with her. An order like this is usually made when someone has demonstrated that they have a drinking problem. That said, for those without a drinking problem, it’s usually easy enough — if socially inconvenient — to follow. Does Shannon have a drinking problem and, if so, is it actually negatively impactful to her girls in any way? Honestly, we don’t know. Either way, this sounds like a clear effort to use Shannon’s status as a reality star against her. Things had been going a little better with Shannon and David’s divorce, right up until the reunion special aired. Is this David’s attempt to exact revenge upon Shannon for disparaging him and his girlfriend on international television? Or was this born of genuine concern? This news comes on the heels of Shannon facing a real medical crisis. On Monday, December 17, Shannon revealed that she had gone to the emergency room. “At ER with horrible pain in my ribs,” Shannon shared with her fans and followers. “Getting tests.” “Everyone so nice but not a hospital fan…” she admitted. Mystery pains are never good, but when they’re in or around your chest, they can be downright scary. Fortunately, Shannon had more to tell her followers. “No blood clot,” she announced. “And all is good.” The human body is kind of a mess, so sometimes phantom pains defy explanation. In this case, if Shannon received a specific diagnosis, she did not see fit to share it with fans. “Heading home with an antibiotic,” Shannon revealed. “Thank you to so many of you for the well wishes.” Shannon told her fans: “It’s overwhelming and kind.” Maybe David has real concerns about Shannon’s drinking, or maybe this is just a game that he’s playing with their divorce. Maybe both. Some fans cannot help but be reminded of one of the elements in the dissolution of their marriage. David, as you may recall, did not respond well when Shannon’s stress eating caused her to gain weight. It reached a point where Shannon said David stopped loving her because she was fat . Does David, even now that he’s moved on with a younger lady love, feel a need to control what Shannon puts in her body? Or is this just fatherly concern for his teenage daughters, who may soon be exposed to alcohol at parties if they are not already? His motives remain shrouded. We’ll see what the court decides.

Kim Zolciak BEGGED By Fans to Stop Getting Lip Fillers

Kim Zolciak was recently caught photoshopping her kids , but her latest photo controversy required no digital editing. The Don’t Be Tardy star shared a series of new photos, each of which featured her huge, swollen lips. Even Kim’s most adoring fans are on their knees, begging her to go easy on the lip fillers. “I’m so ready for 2019!” Kim Zolciak writes in her Instagram captions. Beside her words are three selfies that she snapped showing her extremely, painfully prominent lips. (We don’t know that they’re actually causing her pain, but they certainly caused plenty of pain among her followers) As you can see from the images, which we’re sharing with you hear, her lips are dramatically swollen. Kim is famous for her unabashed use of fillers, but … some of her fans and followers believed that this is a little much. The reality star shared these photos on Sunday, December 16. Kim Zolciak’s fans took to the comments to tell her, as kindly as they knew how, to lay off the fillers. “Please stop with the lip injections,” one fan begged. “You are gorgeous, you don’t need to do that.” “You are beautiful but I really wish you would consider stopping with the lip injections,” implored another followers. That same comment continued: “You’re actually prettier without them.” “Believe me I’m not hating,” announced another fan. “Stop the lip injections!” Kim did not respond to that backlash, but since she responded to comments that were pure praise, it seems likely that she saw the feedback. Back in August, Kim replied to fans with similar concerns, simply saying of lip fillers: “I love them for now.” That is, at least, a sliver of hope to fans who hope to see her tone it down — as she has done with her boobs. Some fans have taken their concerns too far and projected them onto her 17-year-old daughter, Ariana Biermann. Before her most recent birthday, Ariana addressed the rumors that she herself had gone under the knife. “I’m so over people asking me this,” Ariana lamented. “I am 16 dude I’ve had no plastic surgery what so ever.” Back in July, Kim Zolciak spoke to Us Weekly about the way that fans — and trolls — view and discuss her family. “Messing with my kids is gonna be a big one, you know?” she says of things that cross the line. “Let’s use Brielle’s lips, right?” “So when Brielle wanted her lips done.” Kim shares. “It was something that she’s never really liked.” “She’s always talked about wanting bigger lips,” Kim reveals. Kim explains: “She turned 18, I took her to the best.” “That’s her decision, her choice,” Kim says. “I took her to the best.” “She was very open” with fans, Kim says. “Because she said she didn’t want other girls that felt like her to not know that there wasn’t an option.” That is so sweet! “So she shared that with the world,” Kim notes. Kim continues: “Then, they’re like, ‘You look like a duck, you look awful, they look terrible, blah, blah, blah,’ and Brielle’s like, ‘Well f—k, maybe I shouldn’t say anything.’” People can be so hurtful. Kim concludes: “I said, ‘No, you just basically do you.’” “When you talk about my kids, it does, at times, have an impact on me,” Kim admits. She points out: “You don’t even know our family like that.” “A lot of people that don’t even, is not a real follower or a real fan,” Kim says of haters. In her view: “it’s just somebody that just runs around to everybody’s page and is negative, at the end of the day.” “But my kids are definitely a touchy subject, or my husband,” Kim adds. Some point out that Kim’s lips are Kim’s choice, and they’re not wrong. Fans are still entitled to share their thoughts — up to a point. Just don’t cross a line where you become a hater or a harasser, please. View Slideshow: Kim Zolciak TOTALLY Photoshops Bikini Selfies, Expert Says

Gwen Stefani: I’m Too Traumatized to Marry Blake Shelton …

Gwen Stefani is on a mission to spread Christmas cheer … and to try to force her fans to like Blake Shelton. In a new interview, the singer isaddressing rumors of  secret Gwen and Blake weddings  that so many fans have heard. She says that one of the factors influencing their choices is trauma from past relationships. Gwen Stefani is happy to announce that, despite rumors, there is “zero pressure” in their relationship. The interviewer refers to Ellen DeGeneres joking that Blake had confirmed to her that he and Gwen are engaged. In that interview, Gwen of course told Ellen and her audience: “No he — no, we're not!” Now, Gwen explains that “there is zero pressure.” “I think that when there's trauma the way that we had trauma back in the day,” Gwen says. She refers to her contentious split from Gavin Rossdale and Blake's even harder split from Miranda Lambert. “Like,” Gwen continues. “Going through all these hard times to get to a place where you find somebody that’s your best friend.” “That you know that you can depend on and trust and just go through life,” Gwen adds. She's been through a lot of emotional upheaval to get to where she is. She's in no hurry, she explains, to change things up. “I think that we'll just try and be in the moment as much as we can,” Gwen says. As to whether Blake is her forever man, she says: “I hope so! I hope so.” Gwen admits that there were times when she couldn't imagine the happiness and stability that she currently has in her life. “I never thought I would get this moment,” Gwen confesses. “So it’s just really special,” she explains. After all of the rumors of secret engagements and multiple secret weddings, it's good for fans to hear an explanation. Some expected that she and Blake would remarry right away. It is great to see her taking her time. Gwen also spoke further about their relationship as she discussed filming a music video with Blake. Apparently, despite being a music star in his own way within the Country Music community, Blake hates filming music videos. Some musicians feel awkward or inauthentic filming them, even though they can help push songs and become works of art. The fact that Blake was part of Gwen's video is very sweet and shows how willing he is to indulge her. That said, a sizable portion of Gwen's fans have seen more than enough of Blake for their liking. Seeing him in a music video is not what they want. But he's part of Gwen's life. They will need to accept that. Gwen's interview made reference to her interview with Ellen. A source close to Blake told HollywoodLife   that Blake was very amused by it. ” Blake  thought Gwen’s interview with Ellen [DeGeneres] was absolutely adorable,” the insider shared. “She looked gorgeous and was so smart and funny,” the source noted. The insider revealed: “He’s watched the video at least ten times now, and it still makes him smile.” That is, admittedly, very cute.

Maci Bookout: Ryan Edwards Put Me Through Hell … But I Still Love Him!

Cardi B and Offset: HA! People Think We’re Really in a Fight!

If you’re looking to get either Cardi B or Offset a gift this year for Christmas, don’t bother with a pullover. Why? Because the artists are already pulling one over on the American public! It was less than two weeks ago that Cardi B announced she and the Migos member were ending their marriage. She didn’t speak ill of Offset in this announcement, but just a day later word started to spread that Offset tried to arrange a threesome without Cardi and had been cheating with some woman named Sum Bunni. Ms. Bunni later confirmed she had been taking it from Offset during his marriage. Cardi has remained mostly silent on this controversy, but was forced to take action this past Saturday night after Offset allegedly crashed her concert and tried to apologize on stage. Cardi B Kicks Offset Off Stage The singer was having none of this public display and gave her estranged husband the boot. You can relive the incident here: Was this a legitimate surprise? Did security somehow fail miserably at its job let Offset just storm the stage? It seems impossible to believe, doesn’t it? And that’s because this was clearly a staged act, made obvious and notable by the fact that Cardi’s publicist actually led Offset on to the stage over the weekend. Fans have been suspicious that this was some kind of PR ploy ever since it transpired — and now insiders are confirming that Cardi and Offset are sitting back and simply laughing at the fools who believe otherwise. Of course the interruption was staged, you guys. Shortly after the video of Offset cutting into Cardi’s set went viral, fans started calling Offset out for daring to do such a thing. This prompted Cardi to speak out on Instagram in defense of her annoying husband. “I see a lot of people bashing me because they feel that because I’m defending my baby father, they think that I’m gonna get back together with him,” said Cardi, who shares five-month-old daughter Kulture Kiari with Offset. She continued: “I’m not saying that I’m gonna get back together with him. I just don’t like that bashing online thing.” We’re pretty certain Cardi B will get back together with Offset , but for now she just wants folks to give him a break. She even referenced Pete Davidson’s very recent breakdown over the weekend, citing how the SNL cast member wrote on social media that he no longer wanted to be on Earth. “Just earlier, you just saw how Pete Davidson was talking about how he don’t even want to be on this earth because mad people be coming at him every single day,” she said, adding: “I wouldn’t want my baby father to have that feeling because of millions of people be bashing him every day. That’s a nasty feeling, and I wouldn’t want that.” What would Cardi and Offset actually get out of fooling everyone in this manner? Considering how they are already very successful and considering how being in an up-and-down relationship really isn’t good for anyone’s brand, we have no idea. All we can say for certain is that this is all a bunch of BS. The couple is not in a fight. They just want you to think that they are.

Jana Duggar: Wrapped Up In ANOTHER Duggar Sex Scandal?! [Exclusive]

It looks like the Duggar family is embroiled in yet another major scandal. And this one involves the family’s most mild-mannered member, fan favorite Jana Duggar. More accurately it involves Jana’s “friend” and rumored romantic partner Caleb Williams. An anonymous source informs The Hollywood Gossip exclusively that Caleb has been arrested for having sex with a minor. Caleb and Jana reportedly dated last year , but neither party ever publicly confirmed the relationship. “Caleb has been arrested for Criminal Sex with a minor [in] Logan County illinois,” the insider writes in an email to THG. “Duggar family better check their little ones! This is a dangerous fella. Williams are trying their best to cover it up.” The source goes on to explain that Caleb’s brother, Joshua Williams, also has a criminal past: “This one too Caleb’s brother Joshua M. Williams arrested for child abuse [in] Washington County, Arkansas,” the tipster writes. “Both boys were avoiding arrest warrants by changing address and hiding in their homes when paper were trying to be served.” Perhaps not surprisingly, both men have ties to Josh Duggar, who was exposed in 2015 as having molested five young girls , four of whom were his sisters. “Both worked with Josh Duggar selling used cars ‘junkers,'” the source writes, adding: “Birds of a feather flock together?!” The insider goes on to maintain that Josh is still doing business with family members who claimed to have cut ties with him, writing: “Jim Bob Duggar should be careful who he lets his family associate with. Josh now rents the Duggars’ building near their home as a Tree Service.  “I wish to remain anonymous because of my involvement,” the insider continues. “If they all were not deceiving others and shifting blame to innocent people I wouldn’t be so inclined to share.” Shedding light on why crimes by the rich and powerful so often go unreported, the insider adds: “They have money to hire expensive layers, those they hurt do not.” The anonymous email concludes: “I thought this stuff only happened in movies. “These are dangerous people innocent children are in harm’s way. “May you do you best to separate the evil from the good.” We’ll have further updates on this developing story as more information becomes available.
