Source: NurPhoto / Getty Kim Kardashian Answers 73 Questions With Vogue Vogue hit up Kim Kardashian for their latest 73 questions installment and it was… cute and INTERESTING, to say the least. As Kanye West answers the door, Kim K. walks up and quickly informs him that Vogue is actually there for her — and in her first response, shares that they are rarely ever home together. Not only does her controversial husband make a cameo, her kids — North, Saint, and Chicago — appear for a few minutes and they’re so adorable. While loving on the babies and trying to answer questions at the same time, Kim says her secret to good parenting is “you just have to wing it.” She also talks baby no. 4, saying Saint would like to name him “Sainty 2.” Big sis North lets it be known she’s more than ready for her baby bro to arrive as well, but mostly just because she wants the boys to keep one another occupied so she can play with Chicago, it seems. Speaking of North, Kim says Anna Wintour had some influence in naming her. “Once she heard that rumor, she asked me and said that name was ‘genius.’ So that was helpful to me,” she explained. So what else do we find out about Kim? Well, she says she only spends 30 minutes per day on Instagram and doesn’t read DMs because there are too many. If she could go to dinner with anyone, living or not living, it would be her father. She says she wishes people “would NOT focus on my azz all the time,” but do we believe her? HELL NAW. She says she thinks she will be remembered for her “many talents” and one of the weirdest rumors she heard about herself is that she once killed a raccoon with her high heels. Elsewhere, she informs Vogue that she has a talent for smelling when someone has a cavity. See for yourself:
Lori Loughlin is best known for her role as Aunt Becky on Full House. But it now seems clearer than ever that she may end in in the proverbial big house. The actress, along with fellow star Felicity Huffman, appeared in front of a federal judge in Boston on Wednesday, April 3, regarding the pair’s alleged roles in the nationwide college admissions scandal that continues to rock the country. It’s been widely expected ever since Loughlin and Huffman were indicted by the FBI that the women would come to some sort of plea bargain with authorities. But even if this ends up being the case, TMZ talked to legal insiders who believe prosecutors will still push for jail time. “You can’t have people being treated differently because they have money. That’s how we got to this place. Every defendant will be treated the same,” says a TMZ source about Loughlin and Huffman. The judge today told all defendants – including Loughlin’s husband, Mossimo Giannulli – that they face a maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison, three years probation and a $250,000 fine. A day earlier, all 13 defendants were subsequently charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services fraud. Loughlin and Giannulli were taken into custody last month after they were accused of paying bribes to ensure that their two daughters were accepted into the University of Southern California. Their scheme worked and the teenagers did earn admission… … but they are reportedly now leaving the school in the wake of this controversy. Both actresses cited here were recorded on wiretapped calls discussing the scandal with ringleader William Rick Singer. Huffman and her famous husband, William H. Macy, allegedly paid $15,000 to Singer in order to participate in a college entrance exam cheating scheme on behalf of their oldest daughter, Sofia Grace. In this instance, she was given twice the amount of time to take the SAT as other students. The FBI believes the proctor corrected her answers. As a result, Sofia scored 1420 on her SAT, an improvement of approximately 400 points over her PSAT. All through some convoluted and really awful cheating. Loughlin, meanwhile, has come under even more scorn and derision from the public. According to court documents, she and Giannulli allegedly paid $500,000 “in exchange for having their two daughters designated as recruits to the USC crew team — despite the fact that they did not participate in crew — thereby facilitating their admission to USC.” They actually posed their kids in fake crew team uniforms and pretended the girls were members of a high school squad in order to get them on a special admissions list with lower standards. It’s widely assumed that Olivia Jade, a social media star in her own right, was well aware of the scandal at the time. She has reportedly cut ties with her parents following their arrest . In total, 47 people were charged by the feds in what they amazingly dubbed Operation Varsity Blues. According to these same legal documents, the actresses and others allegedly paid as much as $6.5 million to get their kids into various schools; including Yale, Stanford, Georgetown and USC. In all, the feds uncovered about $25 million in bribes. That’s insane! Also insane? Some fans were lining up to get autographs from Loughlin outside the courthouse today. Come on, people.
Stealing cars is a thing of the past in Florida. These days, folks are stealing whole a** churches. On Friday, a thief was captured on video stealing a trailer from Square Root Church in Cooper City, Florida, which contained all the churches furniture and supplies. Reports say that the contents of the trailer included church signs, supplies, furniture and children’s toys that had been collected over three years. The church uses the trailer space for everything from worship to a nursery and/or activity area for the kids. Pastor Daniel Rios told Local 10 News : “They can steal the trailer but they can’t steal the Lord. We came in here and we worshipped and we did what we do because what we do is not based inside of an outfit.” This past Sunday, the congregation of about 200 spent the entire service on the sanctuary’s floor. The thief is still at large, and the pastor just hopes to get the churches things back by Easter Sunday. Fingers crossed.
If you’re a longtime Teen Mom 2 viewer, then you’re probably aware that Jenelle Evans has a tendency to take on the interests and characteristics of her various “soulmates.” In the case of David Eason, this means pulling a reverse- Beverly Hillbillies and moving to the country to pretend that she’s not rich. But even for well-heeled folks who don’t have to hold down actual jobs, living off the land (or, in Jenelle’s case, the Laaaaaand!) presents its share of challenges. And it seems that Jenelle is learning the hard way nature can be rather unforgiving — even to famous reality stars. Throughout the eighth season of TM2 Jenelle’s sinking house provided one of the most bizarre storylines in the show’s history. Naturally, most fans assumed Evans and Eason would get the situation under control, as they have a ton of money, nothing but time on their hands, and a whole bunch of kids and animals to take care of. But Evans took to Facebook today to reveal that her beloved Land has officially finished the process of devouring her house whole. “WTF, sinkholes are such a-holes, dude!” an irate Evans began her post. She went on to reveal that her house has completely disappeared into the Earth, and the entire Evans-Eason clan is now holed up in the one-room structure that had previously served as Jenelle’s “she shed.” “Now the kids are sleeping on the floor,” Jenelle wrote, “and I have to go into the woods just to do dru … um, to do drawings. Yeah, I’ve taken up art to help me cope. Stop judging me! God!” Surprisingly, Jenelle says the worst part of the situation is not the disappearance of her home, but rather the loss of the sizable arsenal stored within. As you may already know, David loves his guns — so much so that he boasts of never stepping outside without one or more weapons on his hip. And it seems that without his many sidearms, Eason has become terrified of the world around him. “You know how scared you have to be to carry multiple guns on your own property?” Jenelle asked fans. “Like, David won’t even leave the shed because he’s afraid he’ll get swarmed by a pack of non-binary, immigrant animal rights activists.” Jenelle says she has no immediate plans to rebuild her home, but she is seeking compensation through legal action. “I’m suing God, dude,” she wrote in her lengthy status update. “I feel like this was a total D-bag move on His part, and he’s probably freakin’ loaded, so we’re hoping he’ll just settle out of court.” Obviously, this whole story is ridiculous even by Jenelle Evans standards. Which is why you probably figured out by now that it’s just a little April Fools’ joke from your friends at THG. C’mon! Were you not entertained?!

The 50th NAACP Image Awards were the Blackest of all time. From Black Panther winning big to Jay Z and Beyonce accepting the night’s most prestigious awards to Chris Rock making light skin jokes, it doesn’t get much Blacker. Keep scrolling for highlights from the show… Chris Rock Jokes On Jussie Source: Earl Gibson III / Getty Apparently Chris Rock was told not to make any jokes about Jussie Smollett, but it’s Chris Rock, you can’t tell him what to do. It wasn’t a few seconds before Rock stepped up to the mic and delivered his first shot at the embattled Empire actor. In Rock’s defense, it was quite hilarious and a great way to kick off the show. “They said no Jussie Smollett jokes. Yeah, I know. I know. What a waste of light skin. You know what I could do with that light skin? That curly hair? My career would be out of here. F—ing running Hollywood,” Rock said. “What the hell was he thinking?” the comedian added. “You’re Jessie from now on. You don’t even get the ‘u’ no more. That ‘u’ was respect. You ain’t getting no respect from me.” View this post on Instagram #PressPlay: Last night they told #ChrisRock no #JussieSmollett jokes…so ya’ll know he came through with the Jussie Smollett jokes!! ( : @tvonetv/ @naacpimageawards) A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom) on Mar 31, 2019 at 9:24am PDT Jay Z Accepts The President’s Award Source: Earl Gibson III / Getty Jay Z and Beyonce have been on an award world tour. After accepting the GLAAD Media Vanguard award, they hit the NAACP Image Awards to collect their next honors. Jay looked dapper in a classic blue suit as he stared at his Image Award, delivering his acceptance speech. Keeping everyone on edge, Jay used a quote from our “very humble and kind-hearted president.” But it’s not the president you’re thinking of. He took it back to Abe Lincoln. “It’s not the amount of years in your life, it’s about the life in your years that count in the end.” “Thank you to the NAACP for allowing me to forward this so she can put this on her mantle next to her favorite grandson. And when she’s, like, sneaking pork, and, like, her legs swell up, she can remember how much of a G she is.” Beyonce Thanks Regina King In Her Acceptance Speech Beyonce May have won the Image Award for “Entertainer Of The Year,” but she used her acceptance speech to thank her fellow nominees. “Regina King, I love you so much. You taught us patience, persistence, and how to be masterful in your craft,” she said dressed in a stunning white Balmain gown straight off the runway. “Chadwick Boseman is teaching children to dream and to see themselves as kings. LeBron James has taught us strength of all forms in leading by example and providing education for our kids. Ryan Coogler tells our story in a way that celebrates our history and proved that we do have power at the box office, and I’m honored to be included among all of you and to a part of a vital, thriving, beautiful community. Thank you so much, NAACP, God bless you. I hope ya’ll had a great night.” Drops mic. View this post on Instagram Congrats Bey!

Auntie Maxine Waters Flexes Congresswoman Maxine Waters accepted the NAACP Chairman’s Award and, per usual, left us feeling empowered and captivated but unrelenting fight and spirit. “After a long career journey, tonight I stand before you as the first woman and the first African-American to chair the powerful U.S. House Financial Services Committee,” she said. “Yes, I got the gavel and I’m not afraid to use it.” Okurrrr!
Devi Lovato is not about to let a bunch of strangers bring her down. But she is about to stand up for others who have been in her situation, or may be there at some point in the future. Allow us to explain… Earlier this week, The Inquisitr ran a story with a headline that reads as follows “Demi Lovato Appears To Have A Fuller Figure After Working Up A Sweat In LA.” As someone accustomed to being body-shamed and someone who has battled self-confidence and mental health issues over the years, Lovato reacted very strongly to this phrasing. In an impressive sign of growth, however, she didn’t respond with personal pain or animosity to the story. Instead, she took a much broader approach to the sensitive topic. “I AM MORE THAN MY WEIGHT,” the 26-year old clapped back initially on Instagram, prior to delving into futher detail. “Unlike the past, I’m not triggered, I’m not upset that someone wrote a headline about my ‘fuller figure,'” she continued. This is how Lovato then took the long view and spoke out for basically every other woman on the planet: “I’m angry that people think it’s okay to write headlines about people’s body shapes. Especially a woman who has been so open about being in recovery from an eating disorder. “I’m not upset for myself but for anyone easily influenced by the diet culture.” On an inspiring roll, Lovato concluded as follows… Too many people today base their ideal body weight off of what OTHERS tell us we should look like or weigh. Articles like these only contribute to that toxic way of thinking. If you’re reading this: Don’t listen to negative diet culture talk. You are more than a number on a scale and I am more than a headline about my body shape. As the singer mentions above, and as she has talked about often in the past, Lovato suffered from an eating disorder as a teenager. Such self-esteem issues contributed to her well-documented drug addiction, which landed the artist back in rehab this fall after she nearly died from an overdose . So Demi is someone who speaks from experience. She’s been there. She knows what it’s like to be criticized by strangers and to feel self-conscious about one’s appearance. In this case, thankfully, her Instagram post was head loudly and clearly, too. The report’s writer, actually got in touch with the star via Instagram messages to apologize for his offensive headline. “I thank you for your apology,” she wrote back, adding: “Maybe you can write an article about this experience. Taking it down won’t take away what’s already up there. “Unfortunately, I had to use this is an example to make a statement about these types of headlines how damaging it is not [only] for me but the readers.” “You’re an incredible talent and you’re right, your body is not all you are,” the author replied. “This is a lesson learnt.” With the headline problem tackled, “now my fuller ass is going to sleep,” the star later joked, concluding: “Goodnight guys..I love you so much. Don’t forget to tell yourself how beautiful and worthy you are of a happy and healthy life.” Fantastic stuff on both sides here. We continue to wish Lovato the best of luck.

So it's not exactly a secret that Kailyn Lowry doesn't have the best relationship with Chris Lopez. Quite the opposite, really. Kailyn and Chris have had a troubled relationship for basically the whole entire length of their relationship, and we've heard sordid detail after sordid detail about just how troubled things were. They did get back together for a bit recently, but apparently that's over again. And now in a new interview, Kailyn is telling everyone just how done she is. 1. The Beginning Kailyn has known Chris for a while now. They went to college together, and she got pregnant with Lux towards the end of 2016, so, you know, they’ve at least been friendly since then. 2. Mysterious! We don’t know too much about Chris since he’s always refused to be on Teen Mom 2, but from what we understand, it was never like they were in a normal relationship. 3. Uh Oh Kailyn has said that Chris was dating another woman while she was pregnant with Lux, and we saw him blow off doctor appointments, and pretty much her in general, until the baby was born. 4. At Least There’s This He did show up for the birth, and he drove Kailyn and Lux home from the hospital, but then things got bad again. 5. Yikes In her last book, Kail claimed that when Lux was a newborn, “I’ve had my bedroom window broken while the baby was asleep with me in the room. My backdoor had been broken while all of my kids were at home.” 6. Bad Times She also wrote that there was a period of time in here where she and Chris didn’t even talk to each other for eight months. View Slideshow
Kate Gosselin turned 44 years old on March 28. And the polarizing reality star really wants you to think she celebrated the occasion with her kids. The mother of eight shared the above and below photos on her Instagram page in honor of this birthday, writing as a caption to them all: So this is 44…. I was acting silly because my kids insisted on taking pictures lol! We had a fun day! We’re very glad to hear this, of course, if it’s actually the case. Kate has been very quiet on social media over the past several months while she and Jon once again battle for custody of their kids. The latter actually now has legal custody of son Collin after Kate failed to show up at a hearing in December during which a judge was going to decide on the child’s circumstances. Without Kate present, Collin was temporarily awarded to Jon. For the past year or so, meanwhile, daughter Hannah has also been living with her father, despite Kate having legal custody in her case. Moreover, court documents submitted by Jon and his legal team in October paint a very dark portrait of Kate. They actually read as follows: “It would not be in the best interests of the minor child…to have independent time with mother or to have mother share legal custody of the minor child.” Jon is saying here that he thinks Kate is a danger to her son , which goes way beyond the occasional mean Tweet or barb about his ex-wife; it’s very serious, legal business. We’re not taking sides or anything here, as we’ve mocked both parties plenty of times in the past: Jon for being a neglectful dad and Kate for being an exploitive mother. This is all just a lengthy preamble for why we sort of question whether any of Kate’s kids were actually with her on her birthday. She doesn’t seem to be on great terms with them right now and… well… … they are ALL behind the camera? There’s no photo at all of a single one with his or her mom? Then again, we do know that twins Mady and Cara are getting along well with their mother right now, for business purposes at the very least. They’ll play key roles on the upcoming Kate Gosselin dating show, which we really wish was a thing we were just making up. “We’ve been nudging her to date for years,” Mady told press members gathered a couple months back about this project. “She deserves to be happy. Everyone deserves to be happy.” This series will premiere in June and not feature any sextuplets because Jon says he wouldn’t allow it. “I didn’t sign their work permits,” Jon has said of the program and the role of his younger children, adding: “That’s why they can’t film. They came to me and I was like, ‘No, I’m not signing that.'”
Previous reports have said that Kris Jenner is thrilled to kash in on Khloe and Tristan’s breakup drama . But until now, we haven’t really heard directly from Kris about Tristan cheating on his baby mama with Jordyn Woods. Now, however, Kris has come forward to share exactly how she copes with intense family drama like this. On Friday, March 29, Kris Jenner called in to On Air With Ryan Seacrest to finally discuss the scandal that rocked her family. She told the controversial E! host how she responds to massive media maelstroms like this one. “First of all,” Kris says. “I pray about it.” Kris is a devoted Christian. “I really do,” she says. “I find that, you know, just the spiritual side of me has to kick in.” Kris notes that she has to view things like this through a religious lens “because otherwise, you know, I feel like I wouldn’t survive.” “As challenging as some of these situations are,” Kris admits. She continues: “I think that because [my kids] have one another” “And,” she notes. “They try to make really good decisions.” Because of those factors, she believes “that they’re gonna come out the other side with a lot of clarity.” Having a strong emotional support network in your family (and infinite financial resources) can really do wonders for your state of mind! “And,” Kris expresses, her offspring emerge from these scandals with “a lot of honesty.” They consider the situation, she explains, “and do what they feel like is the right thing.” “And I really trust all of my kids to make those good decisions,” Kris affirms. We would certainly hope so. Most of them are grown-ass adults in their thirties. Kourtney will turn 40 in April. Kris shares that she believes that becoming parents themselves “really made such a difference, obviously, in all of their lives.” We guess that Kendall was either just fine to begin with or remains tragically unenlightened. Kris says that heartbreaks like Khloe’s may be part of what helps the Kardashians remain socially relevant after so long. “People watch the show,” Kris notes. “And we remind them of things that their family might be going through.” “Or things that they’re experiencing,” Kris continues. “Or don’t want to talk about.” In this case, that could be a cheater, or a suspicion of cheating, or someone feeling betrayed by someone they considered to be family. “And suddenly here it is, you know, right there for them to watch,” Kris observes. Kris says that these fans and viewers with similar struggles watch “and see how we might handle it, or go through it.” She says that these relatable experiences work “because it’s real.” Rich, famous families have some of the same problems as regular families, but also very different ones. In conclusion, Kris says: “I think that some of the stuff that we’ve been able to show … has been really beneficial.” Hey, if people can benefit from watching Khloe melt down because she refuses to believe Jordyn Woods’ side of the story , we don’t disagree. And Khloe gets paid for sharing her story on camera, so maybe it’s worth all of the heartache and the sometimes-deserved backlash.

Shenandoah “Shen” Williams made a splash on Young and Pregnant , and she has continued to speak her mind on social media. There is more to her than being Bariki’s mom or feuding with Ashley. Unfortunately, not all of it is good. In a ranting post filled to the brim with wild conspiracy theories, Shen is screaming her anti-vax views to the heavens. On her private Instagram, Shenandoah posted a lengthy status, railing against vaccinations and against policies designed to curb outbreaks. “OK,” Shen begins. “So New York won’t let non-vaccinated kids in public after measles outbreak.” That new policy has been widely applauded because of how many children it will protect. “But once you get vaccinated,” she asks. “Are you not protected?” Shen goes on to declare that the entire vaccination situation is “bulls–t.” “They are so stupid,” Shen accuses. She then explains why she thinks that potential plaguebearers should be allowed to mingle with other children. “If vaccines protect you,” she suggests. “You should not have to worry about being infected right?” She then takes things in a much wilder direction, and gives voice to some real nonsense. Shen writes that she suspects that the “government is killing us.” Shen then lists a startling example to illustrate her conspiracy theory. “Like this HIV vaccine,” Shen suggests. We’ll share our guess as to what she means, but … unless we missed some major medical news, there is no confirmed HIV vaccine in existence. “You have to wear condoms,” she says, adding: “Get tested every three months and still be at risk.” “So,” Shen asks her fans and followers. “What do you think they are actually putting in us and our children?” Oh boy. “So now,” Shen expresses. “If we don’t put poison in our kids bodies.” Point of fact: the government actively discourages putting poison in a child’s body. There are even laws about it! But Shen clarifies that, when she refers to “poison,” she is referring to “vaccines that don’t work anyway.” (No part of that is true) “Our kids can’t be treated like the others,” Shen laments. “WTF are they really putting in us if the s–t don’t work?” she asks. Shen then asks: “Why get vaccines if you are still at risk?” “S–t don’t make sense to me,” she confesses. Notably, she could have googled those two questions and saved herself some embarrassment. Finally, Shenandoah tweets the tag: “#populationcontrol.” That was a wild ride from start to finish. To quickly address Shenandoah’s wild misunderstandings. First of all, not everyone can be vaccinated. Some people have allergies or compromised immune systems. These individuals rely upon herd immunity . That is, if they never come into contact with anyone who could even cary an illness, they cannot contract it. Often, these children are kids who are undergoing chemo for childhood cancer, or who have just beaten cancer. It’s a pretty sick twist for a kid to survive brutal cancer and then catch and potentially die of a totally preventable disease. But it has happened, even recently, because of outbreaks caused by anti-vaxxers. When she refers to an HIV vaccine — a thing that the entire world would celebrate if it existed — she may mean PrEP. That is an antiviral that, if taken regularly, can significantly reduce the risk of contracting HIV. While that is an ideal medicine for people who are at risk for HIV, there have been a couple of people who have contracted HIV anyway. it is, and we cannot emphasize this enough, not a vaccine. Vitamin C is not a vaccine against colds. Neither can be cited to “prove” that vaccines don’t work. Finally, her population “control” theory doesn’t fly. People in many countries have declining birthrates because of economic, environmental, and social factors. No part of her bonkers rant holds any water. Maybe Shen should go back to accentuating her butt when she poses in pictures. View Slideshow: Kailyn Lowry Doubles Down on Anti-Vaccine Stance, Is a Danger to Her Kids
