Nigella Lawson: Charles Saatchi Tried to DESTROY ME!

Celebrity chef Nigella Lawson says her ex-husband Charles Saatchi was bent on destroying her after a restaurant argument earlier this year went viral. Testifying Wednesday in a fraud trial against two ex-assistants who once worked for her and former spouse, Nigella made the bombshell allegation. “He said that if I didn’t go back to him and clear his name he would destroy me,” the 53-year-old Lawson told Isleworth Crown Court in West London. Nigella Lawson on Charles Saatchi Nigella Lawson struggled to maintain her composure on the stand as she described the period since her divorce as “a long summer of bullying and abuse.” She told lawyers that her ex, 70, a wealthy global advertising executive and media mogul, threatened her when she balked at appearing in court. Describing Charles, who she alleges choked her in a restaurant , “Yes, he did have a temper and I don’t think anyone can be in any doubt he had a temper.” She also noted that Saatchi “didn’t like to take part in family life.” She added that he would shout and swear at her frequently, confiding in an assistant of their fractured home life: “I don’t know how long I can take this.” The Taste judge also responded to allegations that came this summer from her ex-husband, who alleged Lawson had been using cocaine and marijuana daily. He was forced to refute those charges, testifying last week that he’d never actually seen her use any drugs, despite alleged evidence to the contrary. Lawson said those claims stemmed from a “PR blog” trying to clear Saatchi’s name after he was photographed with his hands around her neck in a restaurant. Moreover, “When I left him I took no money even though I was entitled to it,” Lawson also said, before adding that her independence “used to irritate Mr. Saatchi.” The assistants have been charged with spending more than a million dollars on her husband’s credit card, which they’d had access to for household purchases. The two former assistants have denied the charges.

Prayers Up! Nelson Mandela’s Family Says He’s “Not Doing Well” But Still Putting Up A Fight

Nelson Mandela is still holding on… Nelson Mandela’s Family Says He’s “Not Doing Well” Nelson Mandela has been battling a serious illness since earlier this year and his family says that while he continues to stay strong, he’s not doing too well. via Fox News Ailing former South African President Nelson Mandela is not “doing well” but is continuing to put up a courageous fight from his “deathbed,” members of his family have told the South African Broadcasting Corporation in an interview. His daughter, Makaziwe Mandela, told SABC television news: “Tata is still with us, strong, courageous. Even for a lack of a better word …. on his ‘deathbed’ he is teaching us lessons; lessons in patience, in love, lessons of tolerance. “Every moment I get with him I’m amazed. There are times where I have to pinch myself that I come from this man who is a fighter even though you can see he is struggling, but fighting spirit is still there with him.” Mandela spent almost three months in a Pretoria hospital after being admitted in June with a recurring lung infection. The 95-year-old liberation struggle icon was discharged in September and has been receiving home-based medical attention since then. We will continue to keep Nelson Mandela and his family in our prayers.

Christian Slater and Brittany Lopez: Married!

Christian Slater married his girlfriend Brittany Lopez in an impromptu ceremony earlier this week. The couple has been together for over three years. Slater’s spokeswoman says the 44-year-old actor and Lopez tied the knot at the courthouse in Coral Gables, Fla. Congratulations to the happy newlyweds! The Heathers and True Romance star was previously married to Ryan Haddon. They have two children, a son, Jaden Christopher, and a daughter, Eliana. Christian Slater, an A-lister in the ’80s and ’90s, will star in the upcoming ABC series Mind Games , as well as director Lars von Trier’s film Nymphomaniac . Slater officially announced his engagement to Brittany Lopez back in February 2013 during an appearance on NBC’s Late Night With Jimmy Fallon . “Congratulations, you’re engaged!” Jimmy Fallon said to Slater, who replied, “Yeah, that’s true,” before giving the show’s audience the thumbs-up. Slater said that he met Lopez when he was staying on Florida’s Little Palm Island a few years ago, and it was an unusual way to meet your future wife. “This girl came walking along with another lady, a slightly older lady, and I was sitting in my usual spot eating my oatmeal that morning,” he explained. “So I’m a filthy old man eating my oatmeal and she comes walking along. This spot, I guess, was famous for people proposing to each other, actually.” “It was very, very nice. So she’s there with this old lady and, next thing I know, she gets down on one knee and proposes to this older lady.” “I’d seen a lot of crazy stuff down in the Florida Keys! I of course was very intrigued and I went over and sat down in my other usual spot.” “I thought I’d just witnessed a nice lesbian engagement so I was coming over to say congratulations,” Slater continued, but that was not the case. “It turns out it was her aunt and she was just trying to help her capture the beauty of the park…The next thing I knew we were hanging out in the Everglades.” And the rest is history!

Brandi Glanville: I Made Out with Carlton Gebbia!

From graduations to stars on the Walk of Fame, it was a night to celebrate some of life’s biggest moments on Monday’s The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. It was also a night for some gratuitous girl-on-girl action. When Brandi Glanville shared her big secret with Lisa Vanderpump – “I made out with Carlton [Gebbia] yesterday, in the hot tub” – she was not telling a lie. “What do you mean ‘made out’?” Vanderpump, 53, asked. “Apparently, [we housewives are] are at each other’s throats, or down each other’s throats.” “It was all innocent fun,” Brandi Glanville replied with a giggle. “I’m gonna lock my door at night,” Vanderpump stated dryly. While Monday’s The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills did not disappoint those fans who enjoy Brandi’s envelope-pushing antics, some say she’s going too far. However you feel about it, this is likely not the end of it. Another kiss could be in the works as the wives travel to Palm Springs for some fun and sun on next Monday’s episode … and we wouldn’t miss it. You know LeAnn Rimes is glued to the TV too.

Today in Selena Gomez Cleavage of the Day

I guess someone told Selena Gomez that she had good tits…because something happened recently where all she wants to do is show her tits… Is it a distraction from her weird chipmunk face with weird fake lips…or is it just because tits is what people want…I mean did she change her birth control pill and turn that A-Cup to a B-Cup or did she just eat her way to a B-Cup…who fucking knows what the strategy or reason behind it is…but it’s happening and I am watching even if cleavage bores me and I’m more into hardcore sexuality…if you know what I mean…like spread eagle ass shots…but Disney girls gone bad, always a good storyline, even when you know they’ve been polluted with Bieber’s dick, a dick that is rumoured to be huge, which makes the whole thing far fucking worse… This is some Christmas event, seems like an appropriate outfit…nothing says Christmas at my house like tits … TO SEE THE REST OF THE PICS CLICK HERE

Kristen Stewart: Crying Over Robert Pattinson?

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson appeared to be having a Thanksgiving weekend together … until she was spotted leaving her dad’s house in tears. The actress’ day with her family came to a crashing halt as she bolted her father’s house on November 29. Photographers saw her crying as she departed. Was she brought to tears because Rob wasn’t there? Camera flashes went off as K-Stew made her way to her car, and tears streamed down her face from the swarm of attention, according to X17 Online. Some of Kristen’s friends and family members appeared to be trying to console her, but it was no use as the star looked extremely shaken up. After pushing away people and rebuffing attempts to help her and dissuade her from leaving, finally, she got into her vehicle alone and drove off. Her holiday had been going so smoothly, too. On Thanksgiving Day, Stewart was seen spotted looking happy as she and a friend walked to a grocery store to pick up some last-minute ingredients. The next day, Kristen was then spotted walking near her dad’s house, and appeared content. A source said “she seemed happy and looked relaxed.” While it’s easy to point finger at Rob’s absence as the source of Kristen’s anguish, because that makes for good celebrity gossip , it’s all very unclear. Remember, this report comes on the heels of others saying that Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are 100 percent back together and serious. The fact that Rob was nowhere in sight could’ve been the reason she was upset, sure … but more likely it means he had nothing to do with it at all.

Dragon Con Co-Founder Pleads Guilty to Child Molestation, Gets House Arrest

Ed Kramer, co-founder of Dragon Con, pled guilty to three counts of child molestation this morning in Atlanta, Georgia, over 13 years after the first allegations that he sodomized three young boys were made.  As a condition of his plea, Kramer was given 5 years for each count to run concurrently which a judge reduced to 34 months of  house arrest , ordered to pay a $100,000 fine to each of his victims, and is required to register as a sex offender.  HOUSE ARREST for molestation after avoiding prosecution for 13 years! In October of 2000, two boys, then 13 and 15, alleged that he had molested them while they slept over at the science-fiction conference creator’s house. Just before prosecutors were set to go to trial in 2003, a third young man came forward with allegations of his own which dated back to 1996. Kramer has avoided a trial for the past 13 years citing health reasons which would prohibit him from spending full days in a court room. Doctors have stated that he could only handle up to three hours at a time in court because of his use of a respirator, and that he would require a 90 minute break in between each 3 hour court session, making going to trial nearly impossible. A Gwinnett County district attorney stated in 2010 that he believed much of Kramer’s health complaints to be fabricated to avoid going to trial. Earlier this year, Kramer’s former business partners announced that he would no longer profit from Dragon Con when former attendees threatened to boycott the conference because of the molestation charges. He was paid an undisclosed amount for his share of the conference.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap: Mama’s Gone Crazy

The Real Housewives of Atlanta had Kandi Burruss “Save the Drama For Mama” but if Mama’s not careful her wedding invite might get lost in the mail. We break down all the Mama drama in THG’s +/- review … Goodness knows Mama Joyce was always a little off but the woman was riding the crazy train on the latest Housewives. Minus 25. Poor Kandi. Todd seems like a really good guy. He’s stable and honest and he loves her. Plus 40. But that’s not enough for Mama Joyce. He’s not a millionaire so he must be taking advantage of Kandi because in Mama’s head that’s just what men do. Funny thing is that Mama Joyce seems more concerned about herself than her daughter. Who stomps into someone else’s home and asks why there aren’t more pictures of them up? Minus 11.  Then Joyce starts throwing shade on Kandi’s long time friend Carmon making it sound like Kandi’s best gal pal and her fiance are getting it on behind the scenes. Talk about drama.  Minus 33.   Kandi Burruss should have been showing Mama the door. Plus 42 to Todd who miraculously kept his cool when most people would have lost it. Even when Joyce insulted his choice of engagement ring the man held his tongue and was respectful.  That must have taken some self control because I know I was yelling at my TV. Kandi and Todd’s finances, relationship or pre-nups are none of Mama Joyce’s business and Kandi needs to stand up and tell her so before Todd has enough of this nonsense…which would make Joyce perfectly happy and that’s nothing but sad. Minus 15. But Kandi’s not the only one with relationship issues. Phaedra still wasn’t speaking with Apollo as she headed off for Alabama. Perhaps Apollo should beware…she was going to learn how to embalm a body. Maybe she thinks it will come in handy closer to home. Seriously though, Apollo went to Peter for some marital advice and it wasn’t half bad. Plus 18 . Peter pointed out that the last thing Phaedra wanted to hear was how Apollo Nida could have had Kenya if he’d wanted her. The correct answer was, Honey, you’re the only woman I want. And Kenya Moore was definitely using those text messages to embarrass Phaedra. Another plus 10 to Peter for calling it.  Back home Peter had more fatherly issues to deal with. Cythina’s daughter Noelle says she’s got a boyfriend. Although I agree with NeNe that 13 is way too young to actually date, plus 30 to the parents for getting together to discuss boundaries and showing the kids how to be respectful to one another and the adults.  Kenya finally picked out a place to live but does anyone really care?  I found it funny how Kenya now called NeNe her good friend because she took an interest in her home search. Minus 12. Girl, NeNe was making fun of your rental in case you hadn’t noticed.  And Porsha Williams takes a look at a beautiful condo…but she’s just not ready to move out of Momma’s. Well who would be? Momma gave her the master suite and serves her breakfast every morning. Who in their right mind would want to leave? EPISODE TOTAL: +44! SEASON TOTAL: -287!

Random Ridiculousness: Family Comes Home To Find Stranger Has Moved Into Their House And Changed The Locks Under Ohio Law

Remind us to never buy a house in Ohio. Family Comes Home To Find Stranger Has Claimed House If we came home and found some ish like this, somebody’s head is getting beat to the white meat. According to WLWT: A family in Springdale returned from an out-of-town visit to a dying relative to find someone else had moved into their home of 21 years. Their outrage has now turned into a court battle, pitting them against a man who says he has the court documents to prove the house is now his. WLWT News 5′s Karin Johnson began to investigate and uncovered a dozen cases, all linked to the same man. Robert Carr went into the home on Springdale Lake Drive, changed the locks and emptied the house. The family said when they confronted Carr, he showed them a document he filed with the Hamilton County Court. It’s called a “quiet title” and lays claim to the property because Carr said the family abandoned the house and gave up all rights. Family members said they are too afraid to be identified. “What he’s looking for is full title and ownership of the home,” the family’s attorney, Alison Warner, said. Carr expects to pay nothing to take the home. “I feel violated. (I’m) very scared, you know, because I never know if somebody’s going to be here,” the homeowner said. The family attorney told Johnson the legal fight is adding to a painful year for the family. “This is stress that has fallen on their shoulders out of nowhere, after the death of a loved one and now they’re responsible to answer to this,” Warner said. The family in Springdale called the court fight a nightmare. “It’s really been hard,” the homeowner said. Dayum. WLWT
