Taylor Armstrong: Officially Off The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

Joyce Giraud and Carlton Gebbia are officially in. And Taylor Armstrong is officially out. Six weeks prior to the premiere of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 4 , E! News confirms that this controversial reality star has been given the boot from the Bravo franchise. “Taylor is not returning as a Housewive,” a source tells E!. “You’ll see her here and there in a few scenes, but that will be the extent of her participation.” Armstrong has been a cast member since 2010, but found herself in the middle of major controversy two years ago after her estranged husband committed suicide… and yet Bravo forged ahead with new episodes, including this in which Russell Armstrong appeared. Taylor is now engaged to John Bluher and wedding planning is taking up most of her time. “Taylor’s been filming, but barely,” an insider added to E!. “And she’s no longer on salary. Her current deal is pay-for-play. She only gets paid for the days that she shoots. As of now, that hasn’t been a lot.” The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills returns on November 4.

Chad Michael Murray and Kenzie Dalton: It’s Over!

It is surprisingly and sadly all over for Chad Michael Murray and Kenzie Dalton. The engaged couple has gone the way of Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth , a rep for the actor confirmed today, saying in a statement to Just Jared: “ Chad Michael Murray and Kenzie Dalton quietly parted ways earlier in the year. Please respect their privacy at this time.” Call us cynical – or accurate, considering this news – but after six years without a wedding, perhaps the couple should have realized something was wrong. We wish both actor and actress the best of luck in their quests to find true love.

House Passes Bill to Fund Government, Defund Obamacare

The U.S. House passed a short-term spending plan to continue funding government operations through mid-December but withhold funding for Obamacare. House Votes to Defund Obamacare In the never-ending battle over President Obama’s signature health-care law, the GOP fired the opening salvo in what promises to be a contentious 10 days. If the measure, which would extend government operations by only three months, or an alternative bill is not passed, the government will shut down. The legislation would fund federal agencies at an annual rate of over $986 billion but would also leave in place automatic spending cuts known as sequestration. Those are set to take place in January. The bill includes language to prohibit any funding going to implementing the health-care law, leading House GOP leaders to declare victory Friday. “The House has listened to the American people. Now it’s time for the United States Senate to listen to them as well,” said House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-OH). Also acknowledging that the proposal to end the health-care law is at the centerpiece of the budget plan was House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA). Whether it happens is another story. The Democratic-controlled Senate is expected to move quickly next week to strip the health-care provisions from the bill. Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said upon passage of the measure that any bill that defunds Obamacare “is dead” and “a waste of time” in the Senate. Still, House lawmakers voted by a 230-189 margin to approve the funding measure. Two Democrats voted for it. One Republican voted against it. “This place is a mess. We’re not here to expand government, but we’re not here to eliminate government,” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said. “If the idea is to limit government, let’s work together to do that. But what is brought to the floor today is without a doubt a measure designed to shut down government.” The bill now moves to the Senate, where it has no chance of being passed in its current form. Whether the sides can come to a deal in ANY form is the open question. Obamacare: Save it or sink it?   Uphold the law, it’s clearly constitutional! Repeal the law, it’s so unconstitutional!

Geriatric Gangsters: 86-Year-Old Man Fatally Shot Wife In Head And Neck For “Putting The Ketchup Lid On Too Tight”

86-Year-Old Man Killed Wife For “Too Tight Ketchup Lid” Dementia is a serious thing, people… According to NBC News: An 86-year-old Oregon man on trial for the shooting death of his wife carried out the attack after a series of grievances with his family that prosecutors said included the failure of his stepdaughter to wish him a happy birthday and his complaint that his wife put the lid on the ketchup bottle too tightly. Deschutes County prosecutor Mary Anderson told jurors about Lawrence Loeffler’s complaints during opening statements Wednesday at his murder trial. Anderson said Loeffler made the criticisms about his family during questioning by officers about the death of 83-year-old Betty Loeffler. The prosecutors said the killing was a calculated act. Anderson said Lawrence Loeffler took the phone off the hook, retrieved a .25-caliber handgun in the middle of the night from the bedroom where she slept and then “set a trap” to get his wife onto the deck at the back of their house near La Pine, a town of about 1,670 people on the east edge of the Cascade Range in Central Oregon. He shot her once in the neck and then again in the head in what he described to investigators as a “kill shot” to make sure she was dead, Anderson told jurors. While Lawrence Loeffler admitted having planned to kill his wife, defense attorney Jacques DeKalb said his client was not guilty of murder because he was suffering from delusions. “He had no idea what reality was at that time,” DeKalb told jurors. DeKalb said Lawrence Loeffler spent about 10 days in a Bend retirement home after surgery to remove his gall bladder in December, receiving hospice care. He said Loeffler was fixated on the death of his own father and became disoriented, irrational and obsessed with death. On Wednesday, jurors listened to a 911 call Loeffler made after the shooting. During the recording, the dispatcher asks Loeffler about the shooting, and he says his wife was threatening him and he was afraid for his life, so he shot her. Some of the call is nearly impossible to understand as Loeffler sobs and screams repeatedly that he doesn’t know the details of what had taken place in the home. Lawrence Loeffler breathes with the help of an oxygen concentrator, and he began to cry as he sat at the defense table listening to the call. Awwww, for some reason we feel sorry for this guy…SMH.

Must Be Nice: Beyonce And Jay Z Top Forbes Highest Earning Couples List With $95 Million

Dayum, can we hold something Bey Bey And Jay ? Beyonce And Jay Z Top Forbes Highest Earning Couples List They’re poppin’ bottles in the Carter household. $95 million can buy Beyonce a lot of Brazilian mansions. According to Forbes Jay Z and Beyonce Knowles are so much more than just the first couple of hip-hop: They’re a combination of two of the savviest business people in entertainment. They made more than any other celebrity couple this year with an estimated $95 million in earnings between June 2012 and June 2013. Both are musicians at the top of their games, with multiple hits under their belts. Jay Z’s recent Watch the Throne album went platinum and launched a world tour that brought in $1.4 million per night in America. Knowles, who took a short break when her daughter Blue Ivy was born in January last year, was back with a vengeance this year with her Mrs. Carter world tour, which grossed an average $2 million per night. Then there are their other interests. Jay Z is a part owner of the new Barclays BCS -0.94% Center in Brooklyn, where the Brooklyn Nets play. He sold his stake in the team and now has to dump his share in the arena, too, because he’s started his own sports agency: Roc Nation Sports, which represents star athletes like Kevin Durant and Victor Cruz. Knowles has a fragrance collection and a clothing line called House of Deron. Blue Ivy could soon join the family business. She’s already been on one of her Dad’s songs and her parents have petitioned to trademark her name for the right to use it on anything from baby clothes to toys. “We fly high, no lie…BALLIN’”

When The Checks Stop Coming In: DMX Down To $50 In Cash And No Gwap In The Bank

DMX is phucked up in the game. DMX Only Has $50 In Cash It’s a shame that a man can sell millions of records and have nothing to show for it… Earl needs to take money management courses. According to The Wall Street Journal In a real-life situation that sounds more like a tired old country song than the latest hip-hop single, rapper DMX has $50 in his pockets and nothing in the bank. New court filings in the bankruptcy case of Earl Simmons, aka DMX, show the rapper has little to report in the way of assets as well as expenses that exceed his monthly income. One of the top-selling hip-hop artists ever, DMX now says he’s down to $50 cash on hand. Not only does he report, under penalty of perjury, that he has zero dollars in the bank, but he also denies having any personal property of value—no electronic equipment, no jewelry, no clothes and no cars. Besides the $50 cash, DMX says the rest of the $1.4 million in assets to his name are tied to pending litigation and other claims. The rapper’s debts include more than $1 million in unpaid domestic-support obligations that, as Bankruptcy Beat readers will recall, precipitated his Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in July, as well as more than $453,000 owed on a mortgage to a property in Mount Kisco, N.Y. His unsecured creditors are owed another $479,000. As for his monthly budget, DMX is spending more than he’s earning. Court papers show the rapper’s estimated monthly income is $5,000, but monthly expenses are $5,221 (including $1,000 on clothing and $500 on laundry and dry cleaning). DMX’s bankruptcy attorney couldn’t immediately be reached Thursday afternoon to comment. The White Plains, N.Y., bankruptcy court has scheduled an Oct. 8 case conference for DMX’s bankruptcy, but the rest of us can catch him on an upcoming appearance on “Dr. Phil.” DMX, it is never a good idea to spend more than you earn if you already can’t pay your bills.

People Aint Isht: Boy Bludgeoned Sleeping Friend’s Mom With Sword And Talks Eating Her Liver Before Going On Crimespree

This is crazy . Teen Bludgeoned Friend’s Mom With Sword Why try to kill a person in their sleep? So cowardly. According to Mail Online Two teenagers, ages 13 and 14, from Washington state have been arrested in a bizarre sword attack on the mother of one of the boys that included a discussion of killing the woman and cannibalizing her liver. Spokane Valley deputies responding to an assault call early Tuesday found the bloody woman on her bed; next to her were two knives and a sword with a handle bent at 45-degree angle. The unnamed victim was hospitalized Wednesday in stable condition, Deputy Craig Chamberlin said. ‘It doesn’t sound like she remembered the attack,’ Chamberlin said in a phone interview. The woman told deputies the sword handle wasn’t previously bent. It wasn’t clear who called for help. SMH. Poor woman. Deputies tracked the teens through a crime spree that included breaking into a home and crashing the SUV into the side of a mobile home. A K-9 dog eventually located them. The injured woman’s 13-year-old son told deputies that his friend tried to kill the sleeping mother with a sword, Chamberlin said. The younger boy said he talked his friend into trying to kill his mother because he had taken ‘blue pills.’ The spokesman said it was unclear what the pills were. The boy said he would never have done anything like that sober, Chamberlin said. The son also told deputies his friend tried to talk him into eating his mother’s liver, the sheriff’s spokesman said. ‘Your guess is as good as mine’ as to where that idea came from, Chamberlin said. The older boy admitted attempting to kill his friend’s mother and said they were going to leave town later, the spokesman said. The older boy then asked for a lawyer. Officers searching for the fugitives received a report of a hit-and-run crash at 7800 East Alki Avenue, where the stolen Dodge struck a mobile home and was left running while the teens took off, The Spokesman-Review reported. A short time later, the boys were spotted breaking into a home in the area of East Boone Avenue. The interior of the targeted house was severely vandalized. Police say the runaway teens caused about $2,000 worth of damage by hurling a hammer at the walls and windows. The pair were eventually discovered hiding near the residence and taken into custody. Both boys were booked into juvenile detention for investigation of second-degree assault, taking a motor vehicle without permission, burglary, malicious mischief and hit and run. Public defenders have been pointed for both teens, who were ordered held without bail at an initial court appearance Tuesday, Chamberlin said. Good defense. The blue pills made him do it…FOH.

What The Hell??? Ex-NFL Player Brian Holloway’s House Trashed By Partying Slizzard Teens

These kids had a “Project X” kind of night. Teenagers Trash Brian Holloway’s House In Wild Party According to The NY Daily News Former NFL offensive lineman Brian Holloway initially thought the Twitter photos showing young people partying at his family’s second home in upstate New York were a hoax. Then he saw pictures of teens standing on the dining room table he bought with his Super Bowl winnings. Holloway’s rural vacation home was trashed during a Labor Day weekend party attended by an estimated 200 to 400 teenagers. Holloway said the partiers caused at least $20,000 in damage, breaking windows and doors, punching holes in walls and spraying graffiti. He saw the whole thing unfold live on Twitter — and now he’s using the teens’ own posts to reveal their identities. Holloway, who played offensive tackle for the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Raiders in the 1980s, said his 19-year-old son, a University of Southern Florida sophomore, alerted him to the party after receiving tweets about it the night of Aug. 31. No one is safe from a slizzard teenager. Holloway was at his home in Lutz, Fla., at the time and watched as more tweets about the party were posted, many of them accompanied by photos of young people drinking throughout his home in Stephentown, on the Massachusetts border 25 miles southeast of Albany. “We were getting eyewitness reports of what was happening while it was happening. We couldn’t believe what was going down,” Holloway told The Associated Press. Yvonne Keefe, spokeswoman for the Rensselaer County Sheriff’s Office, confirmed Wednesday that a “very large investigation” into the party was underway. Police believe 200 to 400 young people were at the party, but investigators aren’t commenting on the role social media is playing in the probe, she said. No arrests have been reported. Holloway, a father of eight, said he used Twitter postings to compile 200 names of teens he said were at the party. He has been posting them on a website he created, http://www.helpmesave300.com , in an effort to get them to come forward, take responsibility for their actions and change their behavior. “Any kids where this makes sense to go to a party like this and be a part of that, this kid’s in trouble,” he said. Hit the flip for more wild party photos.
