Oprah Talks “Leaving Neverland” Hateration, Chucking The Deuces To “60 Minutes” And Helping Bestie Gayle Get Her Shmoney Honey!

Source: Ruven Afanador / The Hollywood Reporter / Ruven Afanador / The Hollywood Reporter Oprah Winfrey Talks About Backlash Over “Leaving Neverland” And Leaving Acting The Queen of Media Oprah Winfrey is the subject of an in-depth interview for the cover of The Hollywood Reporter’s first-ever Empowerment in Entertainment issue. Winfrey will receive the first-ever Empowerment Award at the accompanying Empowerment in Entertainment gala Tuesday (4/30) afternoon in Los Angeles. We absolutely LOVED this one — especially some gems she dropped about hateration, quitting acting AND “60 Minutes” and the current political climate. Check out some key excerpts via THR below: On advice she gave Gayle King on renewing her CBS News contract: I said, “Get what you want. Get exactly what you want because now’s the time. And if you don’t get what you want, then make the next right move.” Even without me, she was going to do that. But that was my advice, and I actually called up her lawyer, Allen Grubman, and I said, “Allen, she should get what she wants.” And Allen goes, “What the F do you think I’m doing here? I said the same thing to her!” The negotiation was already happening before her R. Kelly interview. On her reaction to the R. Kelly interview: I sent her a text saying, “Jesus looooves you.” But [the R. Kelly interview] could not have been better if I had done that myself. I think every interviewer thinks, “What would you have done in that moment?” And what she did was absolute perfection. On why she recently left 60 Minutes: I’ve removed myself from that. It was not the best format for me … How should I say this? Never a good thing when I have to practice saying my name and have to be told that I have too much emotion in my name…. I think I did seven takes on just my name because it was ‘too emotional.’ I go, ‘Is the too much emotion in the Oprah part or the Winfrey part?’ I was working on pulling myself down and flattening out my personality — which, for me, is actually not such a good thing. We love it. You’ve got to do what feels good and right for you and Oprah sends such a strong message by speaking openly about her decision to leave “60 Minutes” — of course she will have a great platform in the work she’s doing with Apple — so we’ll still get plenty of her journalistic side. Hit the flip for more great quotes.

There’s is no official report for why Smith has made the petition, but TMZ sources say Samantha doesn’t think that Emani’s mother, Tanisha Asghedom, is able to care for the 10-year-old alone. Samantha says she has assisted in the care of Emani throughout her life and wants “to ensure the continued stability for Emani and ensure that she will be able to maintain her current and ongoing relationship” with Nipsey’s family. In an Instagram post two days after Nipsey’s death, Samantha promised to her late brother, “I got Emani.” Reportedly, Ermias Asghedom bka Nipsey Hussle primarily took care of his daughter before his death.

Last month, she did post up this tribute to Nipsey to express her love for him. View this post on Instagram I LOVE YOU ERMY U NO WHEN IM MAD AT YOU ITS ERMIAS Joseph I love you so much A post shared by chyna hussle (@chynahussle) on Apr 13, 2019 at 6:35pm PDT The report does not mention that Sam wants custody over Emani, just guardianship. The difference is that Sam may be able to take over with legal decisions for Emani in case her mother falls ill or is unable to in sickness, death or jail.

Farrah Abraham: My Daughter is Gonna Be a Giant TV Star!

Farrah Abraham doesn’t mind getting bent over and simply railed by some guy in front of a camera. It’s how the former Teen Mom star has made her living in the past. But Abraham opens up in a new interview about something she does mind, something that does bother her on a near-daily basis and something she wishes she could change: How frequently she must be away from her daughter, Sophia. “The biggest challenge of being a single mom right now is doing all of these companies and projects … and balancing being there a lot for my daughter,” Abraham explained to Us Weekly at a skincare launch event a couple days ago. She added, in a bit more detail: “Throughout the year, I’m probably gone, like, two months out of the year away from her, if not more. “Even though we’re always together it seems, I still wish I could spend more time with her, and I think quality time is good right now.” This is a fair and understandable complaint from Farrah’s point of view. It’s unclear exactly what she does for work these days, but Abraham still somehow gets invited to random openings and premiere events where she’s paid to stand on a red carpet — which does mean flying around the country without her 10-year old child. Critics, however, might say this is a net positive for young Sophia. Farrah has never come across as the best role model or parent for the little girl, sometimes posing naked right in front of her and pretty much always exploiting Sophia on social media in some way, shape or form. Yes, a daughter needs her mother. But only if she’s a responsible mother, right? While she’s away, Abraham says her daughter stays with her grandparents, a situation for which Farrah is grateful. “There are many issues with babysitters and privacy, so before it takes off, I’d rather have her with family,” she told Us Weekly in this chat. The MTV personality (she’s gone from Teen Mom, but still appears on Ex on the Beach) welcomed Sophia in 2009, conceiving her with then-boyfriend, Derek Underwood… died in a car crash before his daughter was born. “She is really focused on finishing up her school work right now, so I am very excited and proud of her,” Abraham offered as an update on the 10-year old, adding: “She’s been cooking. She has been doing little scripted stuff in between her activities.” Wait… what? She’s been doing scripted stuff ?!? Yes, Farrah says, although she doesn’t supply many details beyond the above description. The single mother simply says her child is going to be “a much bigger star” than she is. We REALLY hope she means as a non-adult movie actress. Sorry. We hate to even go there with this subject. It’s just Farrah Abraham, you know? You can never be exactly sure what she has in mind — or what the heck she’s talking about . View Slideshow: Farrah Abraham to Teen Mom: I’m Here if Y’all Need Me! Just Give Me a Call! [Crickets]

Tristan Thompson: Using Father-Son Pics to Make Fans Love Him Again

Last summer, after Tristan Thompson’s other cheating scandal, Khloe Kardashian worked overtime to try to help him rehabilitate his public image. We all know how that worked out. Once again, Tristan worries that his reputation is ruined . This time, it’s his other baby mama helping out, and commenters are falling over themselves to compliment Tristan’s new photos with his son. Adorable baby True Thompson turned one year old on April 12. But she’s not the only child Tristan has fathered. Her older half-brother, Prince, is two years old. Prince’s mother is Jordan Craig, who was already pregnant when Tristan hooked up with Khloe. Tristan recently went with Prince to a friend’s birthday party where he took some precious father-son photos. He shared the pics on Instagram with the caption: “We had the best time at Cali’s Birthday party!!” An inside source recently spoke to Us Weekly about the current dynamic between Jordan and Tristan. “It’s not romantic,” the insider emphasizes. The source continues: “but Jordan has always been extremely supportive of Tristan.” “Tristan is a very involved father in Prince’s life,” the insider claims. “But,” even this very pro-Tristan source admits. “During the basketball season, it’s challenging.” Fans saw these sweet pics and piled on the praise. “He is his daddy twinning for real!” praised one comment. “That’s Prince Charming Tristan Thompson adorable son,” the fan continued. “Jordy you’re a beautiful stunning sexy swagger young lady,” the commenter added. “You doing a great job!” “Keep it up,” the comment encouraged. “God Almighty will guide and your more blessings upon you. I’m one of your big fan. I love you so natural beauty!” Others saw some critical comments directed at Jordan and hit back. “To all the Kardashian’s fan get you’ll ashian ash off her page,” the defender wrote. “And take you guys loyalty & opinions on their page,” the comment added. The fan insisted that Kardashian fans “stay off her page with the assumptions & rumors & accept that FACT that KARMA is real.” “She has done nothing but moved on gracefully & maturely,” the comment correctly points out. “Take notes; no one had to tell her to #FreeTristan she left him,” the fan concluded. “She didn’t bash him or Khloe before or after.” Then, the comment asked: “Wo why are Khloe fans on here bashing her?” “Prince has big beautiful eyes,” gushed another fan. “Do you take prince or does Khole bring True to you and prince, so they get to grow up as sister and brother,” asked the comment. “As its important to put the anger and hurt away,” the fan suggested. “And think of the kids first.” “I can see you doing this fine as you have so much more class than Khole as she thinks she’s better than anyone in the world,” the defender wrote. “Which she’s not the queen that her fans call her,” the comment continued. “She thinks she’s the only person who had there baby daddy leave,” the fan exclaimed.  The comments praising Prince are great! The comments praising Jordan are also correct. The fans who choose to praise Tristan Thompson are … making a choice , huh? Khloe fans don’t need to go on anyone’s page to bash Jordan Craig, who did nothing wrong. And while many believe that Khloe “took” Tristan from Jordan, nobody needs to bash her for being sad that her cheating baby daddy cheated. Sometimes, Khloe messes up. You can talk about that all that you like. No need to roast her just for having feelings. View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian Attacks Jordyn Woods, Gets DRAGGED on Twitter

Jana Kramer’s Husband Mike Caussin Slams Olivia Culpo: You Bang Celebs For a Living!

Jana Kramer and husband Mike Caussin aren’t afraid to speak their minds. No matter what.  Whether they’re discussing hot nannies , Mike’s sex addiction, or the struggles of parenthood — they love opening up about (what they believe are) the “hot topics” of today on the Whine Down with Jana Kramer podcast.  And then there’s the couple’s latest target — Danny Amendola and Olivia Culpo’s messy split.   In the NFL player’s recent social media rant , which we’re still not over — and apparently, neither is Mike and Jana — Olivia Culpo got slammed by her ex-boyfriend after she was spotted getting close with Zedd at Coachella. “I believe there should be a boundary btw private life and social media. Olivia believes in fishbowl lifestyle,” Danny wrote.  The Detroit Lions wide receiver explained what he meant by saying: “Olivia chooses and wants to be noticed on the internet and in Hollywood to make money. Which was hard for [me] to understand but quickly had to learn.” Called! Out!  The post has since been deleted, and he even blamed his outburst on a “miscommunication.”  But the attack was enough to gain major headlines and obviously enough to spark a conversation on iHeartRadio’s latest episode, where both Jana and her husband weighed in on the drama.  Caussin, 32, isn’t buying that excuse. “Miscommunication, my ass,” he said.  The NFL alum declared on Monday, April 29, “He said what he said. He was either drunk or just angry and typed away.”  “And here’s the deal,” he continued. “I don’t understand. They’ve been on and off for a couple of years or whatever it is.” “I don’t know their whole history but Olivia Culpo has clearly been a climber.” “Look at her dating history,” Mike shared. “She’s dated Tim Tebow. She’s dated Ryan Lochte. She dated Nick Jonas. She dated Danny. Now she’s talking to Zedd.” Kramer, 35, immediately realized her husband was being slightly insulting and backed up Culpo. Kind of.  “Are you saying she’s famous for dating celebrities?” she asked.  Mike added, “What else has she done?”  Olivia, who won the title of Miss Universe in 2012 (so she’s obviously gifted), has stayed quiet regarding her ex’s backlash. And while Danny makes it clear that Olivia obviously cares a lot about how she is viewed by the public eye, Jana admitted that they don’t know their whole story until they hear her side.  “Who knows because we don’t have her side of the story, but I can see why you think she is a social climber,” Jana explained.  Mike chimed in, again, adding that these social media problems aren’t just for celebrities, but that ordinary couples can face similar discussions.  “I will say any relationship — whether it’s a public one like this or even a private one where there aren’t celebrities — there’s some people that are like, ‘Why aren’t you posting about me? Why aren’t you posting a picture on Facebook or social media?'” “Regardless of celebrity or not, I’ve experienced and seen people like that where they want to be part of your life more or post more,” Mike said.  Jana and Mike open up a lot about their own relationship as much as they sound in on others.  Last month on the podcast they revealed that Mike had a “massive” relapse in his sex addiction about a year prior, with Jana saying her husband did “something he should not have done.” “We’re just happy that someone didn’t show up,” she told her listeners. “I showed up at the hotel instead.”  The couple has been married since 2015 and shares two adorable children together: daughter Jolie, 3, and son Jace, 5 months.  Even though the two more times than not get criticized for their “offensive” conversations — their true listeners love their raw and candid talks.  At the end of the day — this mom is just trying to have a glass of wine and vent.  And can’t we all relate to that?!

Kourtney Kardashian: I Want John Mayer and Leonardo DiCaprio to Spitroast Me!!

Even though Kourtney Kardashian has heard that Scott Disick is her soulmate , she's still living her life and dating. So when Ellen DeGeneres suggested a game of Who Would You Rather, it turned into something of a confessional. Kourtney ended up revealing her unyielding thirst for John Mayer, and that she's be totes down for a threesome with Leo DiCaprio. Ellen sits down with Kourtney Kardashian and, as you'll see in this clip, plays a game of Who Would You Rather. The idea is that you choose between two people, identifying which you'd rather bang of the two. It doesn't necessarily mean that you'd normally want to bang your choice or that you find the one you turn down disgusting. However, the first pair of options that Ellen gives Kourtney put that general rule to the test. On the left, we see famous douche but totes-good-at-banging John Mayer. On the right is Post Malone, who's basically what would happen syphilis disguised itself as a person. To no one's surprise, Kourtney picks Mayer. After this, however, her choices become a lot trickier … and her answers much less understandable. She is presented with Trevor Noah, host of The Daily Show and South African hottie. Once again, she selects John Mayer. Hey, it wasn't Trevor's most flattering photo. That's fair. Then it's John Mayer against Shawn Mendes, a no-brainer for anyone who isn't (closely) related to Shawn. He's one of the most in-demand, widely thirsted after dudes on the planet right now. “Huh,” Kourtney replies. “This is a good one.” (She's acting like this is a tough choice. Did Kourt not see his Calvin ad?) “Okay,” Kourtney announces after a lengthy pause. “I'm gonna go in a direction that I don't normally go in. So … John Mayer.” We're just gonna chalk that temporary insanity up to Kourtney being friendly with the Biebs, who is widely believed to envy Shawn for being everything he used to be and more. Up next, she knows and loves the (very handsome) Lewis Hamilton, and once again picks John Mayer. Ellen jokes that she can make this happen for Kourtney if need be. Up next is Zac Efron, who has been a hearthrob for a solid decade now and shows no sign of running out of steam. With suspicious alacrity, Kourtney answers: “John Mayer!” Up next is Michael B. Jordan, who was so outrageously hot as Killmonger in Black Panther that he made people root for him purely out of thirst. “Okay,” Kourtney admits. “This is getting good.” She then makes an excuse for why she isn't going with Michael. Kourtney explains that she knows someone who either is or was with him (or something along those lines; she's hella vague). Not wanting to step on any toes or break any Girl Codes, Kourtney passes on him … once again sticking with John Mayer. When it comes to Leonardo DiCaprio, Kourtney seems genuinely torn. This time, she has no excuses — it seems like she must really, truly want to bone John Mayer. (We know that he's rumored to be super good at sex but he's also … just a douche canoe who's said shockingly racist things) Kourtney asks for “both,” and Ellen, clearly at the end of her Straight Nonsense limit for the day, agrees to it. Anything to end this. We may be stunned by some of her choices, but whether Kourthey is talking polyamory or just a threesome, we're all for her living her best life. Get it, girl! Side note: we cannot believe that Kourtney waited until John Meyer was paired with Leo to ask about “both.” Where was that energy when it come to Shawn Mendes? Or Zac Efron? (We know why she passed on Michael B. Jordan, but she's still on thin ice for that) Still, we shouldn't be so blown away that she seemed weirdly fixated on John Mayer. Is he super smarmy? Sure. But she was with Scott Disick for ages. The girl has a type.

Zack Carpinello and JWOWW: We’re Instagram Official!

Professional wrestling may be fake, but one thing is now certain: The love between one person who makes a living in this business and another veteran cast member on Jersey Shore is very much real. It has now been confirmed on Instagram. Just one day after Jenni Farley’s new and mysterious boyfriend was identified as Zack Clayton Carpinello , the woman best known as “JWOWW” stopped sharing mere glimpses of her young lover and started to reveal his face to the world. And we can’t blame her. What a handsome face it is! “Stuck in traffic trying to get to Harry Potter World,” Farley wrote as a caption to a video of herself getting a kiss on the forehead from Carpinello last Friday. We took the above screen capture of the couple from this romantic footage. Thankfully, it appears as if Farley and Carpinello did eventually reach their fun destination, as the former went ahead and posted the following picture a short while later. “Best day ever @universalorlando,” she wrote as a caption to this second snapshot, adding: “I’ve been waiting 11 years to come back here and I’ve been dying to go to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I can’t wait to come back with my kids when they’re big enough #readyforuniversal.” And once Farley finally came fully clean and flaunted photos of herself and Carpinello on social media… she couldn’t stop herself! She kept sharing more and more and more and more, another one of which we’ve published here: Over the past couple weeks, Farley has strongly hinted that she’s involved with someone new. She previously teased the romance via a handful of date night pictures, none of which actually featured Carpinello’s name or face. But JWOWW did discuss the relationship on a podcast with Snooki last week, confirming that her lover was only 24 years old and that he was making her very happy. Farley also stated that Carpinello will at least be a subject of discussion on the new season of Jersey Shore; and it sounds like he may even make some appearances. The reality star filed for divorce from Roger Mathews last September. Things quickly turned ugly after a verbal altercation in the estranged couple’s home led to Jenni obtaining a restraining order against Roger. Since then, she has accused her husband of assault and abuse, while he has fired back that she’s a liar and a phony. It’s been pretty uncomfortable to watch, but at least the bickering exes put their anger aside and spent Easter together with their two young kids last weekend. View Slideshow: Roger Mathews Pens Letter to Jenni Farley, Admits to Abuse “She is happy and she does not care anymore about what Roger, or anyone else, thinks,” an insider tells Us Weekly, elaborating as follows: “She is not going to live her life in fear and it is nice to be with someone who makes her feel beautiful. Zack is a breath of fresh air for Jenni and she is definitely on a pink cloud right now.” At least publicly, however, Mathews is taking the high road right now. “He seems like a terrific guy and they seem to really be happy, and I’m very happy for them,” Mathews told Page Six of Carpinello three days ago.

Kim Kardashian Takes Shot at Taylor Swift, Mocks Music Video

Taylor Swift is officially back, folks. And so, it appears, is the artist’s feud with former sex tape star and producer, Kim Kardashian. As you absolutely must know by now, these two celebrities do not get along. The feud started about three years ago, when Kim leaked audio of a phone conversation between Swift and Kanye West in which the former signed off on lyrics penned by the latter for the track “Famous.” This stood in contract to how Swift publicly acted shocked and appalled when Kanye referred to Taylor as a “bitch” in this very same song. Kardashian was basically trashing Swift as a liar and a phony and trying to put to rest the singer’s persona as being all nice and wholesome and harmless. We’re not here to relitigate this rivalry now or anything, just to quickly catch readers uo. As part of Kim’s anti-Swift campaign, she started to use a snake emoji as a way to reference her famous foe. Taylor, meanwhile, has attempted to throw this imagery/animal back in Kardashian’s face, often bringing out a (pretend) snake on stage alongside side her during various tour dates. All this background brings us to Swift’s brand new music video for the song “ME!” It was released early on April 26 and you can check it out here: Taylor Swift Drops New Music Video! Listen to “ME!” Unlike many of the songs and videos off her previous album, “Reputation,” this track is filled with positive lyrics and bright scenery. But it opens with – yes, you guessed it! – footage of a snake slithering across the screen — prior to this snake turning into a bunch of butterflies, seemingly signaling that Swift is done with her Kardashian feud and ready to focus on happier things in life. Social media users have been very impressed by the transition, as evidenced below: HOWEVER, it looks like Kardashian has now fired back after the cryptic video’s release. Just consider what Kim posted to ger Instagram Story mere hours after Swift’s new video went viral. “I am obsessed!!!!” Kim captioned the shot of snake jewelry, which we presume is part of the businesswoman’s KKW Beauty collection. Interesting timing, huh? To suddenly include this necklace and Kim’s penchant for it in the wake of Swift’s return to music? Last month, Swift went after Kardashian during an interview with ELLE. She praised herself for overcoming the shade constantly hurled in her direction by someone Swift believes is a bully, telling the magazine: “I learned that disarming someone’s petty bullying can be as simple as learning to laugh. In my experience, I’ve come to see that bullies want to be feared and taken seriously. “A few years ago, someone started an online hate campaign by calling me a snake on the internet. The fact that so many people jumped on board with it led me to feeling lower than I’ve ever felt in my life.” Swift concluded this section of the interview by saying of herself and Kardashian: “It would be nice if we could get an apology from people who bully us, but maybe all I’ll ever get is the satisfaction of knowing I could survive it, and thrive in spite of it.” Read more excerpts below and then decide: Whose side are you on in this never-ending beef?

These Magical Pics Are Proof That Kehlani Is A Mythical Masterpiece

Read this article:

Source: Splash News / Splash News Kehlani hit the scene about five years ago, and ever since then, she’s been a force to be reckoned with. Not only is she a stunningly gorgeous free spirit — her pipes are powerful enough to compete with the best of the best when it comes to singing. The Oakland beauty turns 24 years old today, and if you know Kehlani, then you know that everything she does (from the way she dresses and the music she puts out, to her Instagram captions) is so deep that you it forces you to do some inner soul searching on yourself. To honor her big day, the new mom wrote a sweet message to herself saying: “This birthday means a lot to me. my mama was 24 when she had me. my daddy was 24 when he died. 24 on the 24th.. numbers tell stories gratitude in abundance. thanks for all the love.” this birthday means a lot to me my mama was 24 when she had me. my daddy was 24 when he died. 24 on the 24th.. numbers tell stories. gratitude in abundance. thanks for all the love — Kehlani (@Kehlani) April 24, 2019 The love for Baelani is definitely real. “HEY YOUUUUU i hope you have a day as amazing as you are. thank you for all the light and love you put into this world, you’re an inspiration for me” @Shelikegrls “happy birthday to one of the most gorgeous women everrrr. inside and out. I’ve been a fan since your first mixtape and I loved witnessing your growth. keep doing your thing, I love love youuu” @Justinsmelanin “Kehlani your music is everything and brings me so much happiness. I wish you all the best with Adeya but u already being the best mother you can be. I hope to be like you one day “@kookiesgoldabs Seriously though, what’s there not to love about the “Ring” singer. She’s an inspiration to many, and is never afraid to speak her truth. Back in 2017 when she released her deeply personal track “Honey”, she told MTV that confidence in her fluid sexuality helped her to write the track. “I am very openly queer. I thought that my music lacked representation of how my actual life is. I thought it was important to be myself fluidly in my music and not just in my life. My art mimics my life, so you know I have a girlfriend, and it’s only right that that’s what I make music about and that I’m able to put that out confidently.” “I’ve been making music about women my whole career, but I never felt the need to write ‘she,’ necessarily. It wasn’t in the forefront of my mind. But now I’ve seen how people reacted to my song ‘Honey,’ or when I’ve used the correct pronouns and put women in my music videos. Just seeing how much people felt like they needed that representation or how much it inspired them definitely encouraged me to step into this new phase of making music.”- Kehlani for FADER To help celebrate the young queen’s big day, check out these fabulously magical pics that prove Kehlani is not of this world.
