Khloe Kardashian has been having a very, very hard time. Sure, she’s got a huge family that, despite the constant drama, is pretty tight, and yes, she’s got buckets and buckets of money. But does any of that matter when she just keeps on losing in love? Well, yes. That’s a lot more than many people have — she can confide in any one of her sisters, and if she can’t reach them, she can always dry her tears with cash or diamonds or whatever else rich people have laying around the house. Still … there’s no question that times are tough on the romance front. The whole thing is a mess, and it’s been going on for so long. We’ll have to jump around to get the full effect, but everything centers around one fact, and that is that Tristan Thompson is garbage. Just over a year ago, days before Khloe gave birth to their daughter, True, we all learned that he had been cheating on her during her pregnancy . She really struggled with the news, which was obviously understandable, but ultimately, she decided to stay with him and try to make it work. It did not work. Back in February, there was an incident involving Tristan and Jordyn Woods , Kylie’s former best friend. The two were at a party together, and something happened — some witnesses claimed they made out, others have reported that they’d actually been carrying on an affair for a while. Jordyn has maintained that Tristan just kissed her on the mouth as he left theparty, but whatever happened, it was clear that Tristan had done something wrong. And for Khloe, that was the final straw. She broke up with Tristan for good, but the drama was far from over. Cameras were rolling while everything was happening, of course, and we’re now seeing everything play out on Keeping Up with the Kardashians . And if all that wasn’t enough, Jordan Craig, Tristan’s ex and the mother of his first child, has decided that now would be a good time to discuss the rumors that Tristan cheated on her with Khloe during her pregnancy. In some recent court documents, Jordan confirmed what we all pretty much knew — Tristan was still with her when he began seeing Khloe. Khloe has since apologized , saying that she thought Tristan was single at the beginning of their relationship because he showed her “physical proof” of it. She also said that “His best friends, business associates and even his mother told me, him and his ex were broken up before we even met.” It’s a little much that Khloe felt the need to interview everyone in Tristan’s life to see if he was really single — and it’s definitely too much that she seemed even the tiniest bit surprised when it turned out he was unfaithful to her. For over a year now, Khloe has been soothing her pain by sharing inspirational quotes on social media, and if you’ve followed any news about her at all, you know exactly what we’re talking about. But now, thanks to a brand new selfie she just posted, it seems she’s found another way to cope, too. Because how are you going to feel sad when you don’t even look like the person you were when your relationship fell apart?! Here’s her latest look: It’s … different, right? And if you can’t pinpoint exactly what’s weird about this, don’t worry, because her followers were quick to leave their thoughts. “That’s not Khloe,” one person commented. “Where is she?” “I honestly couldn’t tell which Kardashian this was for a moment, I had to look at the name,” another person said. A fan wrote “Giiiiiiirl I adore u but what the hell did you do to your nose?” “Is that a Klone?” someone else asked. “Because it sure isn’t Khloe.” Countless people said that she looks like Kim, and lots said that they even thought this was a photo of Kim. Others couldn’t even tell who was pictured. View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian GOES OFF on Jordyn Woods, Trashes Ex-Friend as Total Liar Obviously we can’t say for sure that she’s gotten plastic surgery — a number of things could be making her look different here. But one this is for sure, and that’s that she really, really does look different.
Earlier this year, Jordyn Woods was blacklisted and shunned after being accused of making out with Khloe's cheating baby daddy. In this Keeping Up With The Kardashians teaser, Khloe first hears the bad news about Tristan Thompson. In this season finale two-parter, viewers will get to see the entire family in meltdown mode. The start of this teaser trailer begins with a classic phone ring sound effect. You know, like it's the 1990s. We then see Kim, in the confessional, gaze down at her phone in bewilderment and concern. “What's going on?” Kim's voice is heard with a dreamlike effect. We then hear the bad news in a haunting voiceover: “Tristan and Jordyn were all over each other last night.” The promo then shows us Khloe, dabbing at her eye with a tissue while she weeps in bed. This, folks, is the episode that fans have been waiting to see all season. It's a two-parter. And yes, of course, it's the season finale. This is Tristan Thompson's cheating scandal, after he was spotted allegedly giving an unsolicited kiss to Jordyn Woods. But as we all know, the verison of events that Khloe chose to believe is that Jordyn was making out with him. Kris Jenner comes across as the voice of reason during this teaser promo. “We just need to figure out what the whole full story is,” she suggests. See, Jordyn has been like family for years. She is — or was, before this scandal — besties with Kylie. Kim doesn't appear willing to wait around and hear what went down. “Tristan admitted it!” Kim accuses. In other words, it sounds like Kim is willing to believe a version of events that Tristan, of all people, is presenting. But maybe we'll find out, in this two-part finale, what lead Kim and Khloe and maybe even Kylie to believe Tristan over Jordyn. We do see Kylie speak frankly, either to a family member or perhaps to Jordyn herself. “I'm just like, what were you thinking?” Kylie expresses. We then see her speaking with Khloe, who feels betrayed on two different sides. “I knew who he was,” Khloe admits about Tristan. “I never in a million years thought that's who she was,” Khloe expresses to Kylie. Wait, so she's confirming that she knew that her cheating baby daddy was a cheater. (Which, you know, she had to) But she's still laying blame at the feet of Jordyn Woods? Even worst case scenario, like if Jordyn really was going hard for Tristan that night, it's just because she was a pretty girl close to him. It could have been any pretty girl. And it was probably many pretty girls, let's be real. Then, the promo takes us back to Khloe and her ongoing suffering. “It just sucks it has to be so public,” Khloe confesses to the camrea through tears. That's true. And we sympathize with Khloe for having to endure so much. Similarly, we sympathize with Jordyn for losing her home, her best friend, aspects of her career, and her reputation. We wonder if, these days, Khloe is feeling differently towards Jordyn now that Khloe has learned that she, too, was once Tristan's “other woman.”
Hannah Brown tried to be patient. She tried to remain calm and cool and collected, even in the face of all the pettiness and bitterness on display each week between the man fighting for her ring finger. But she finally lost it on Monday night. The latest installment of this ABC hit took us back to Scotland, where Hannah refused to give Luke Parker a rose after their one-on-one date, Much to the total chagrin of this front-running villain. “I’m shocked, confused,” he said in an on-camera interview, adding in extreme detail: “It never crossed my mind that I’m going to go home. Sorry. It’s a tough pill to swallow right now. I didn’t ever think this was going to happen to me, but here I am. “From the moment I met her, I’ve felt things that I’ve never felt in my whole entire life. Our relationship has been strong and our connection has been strong, and really, I care about her so much. “I don’t want to go home. Hannah was right. I have tried to be, quite frankly, perfect, and now it’s like my eyes have been opened. I need to fight for her because I don’t want to lose her. Nothing’s gonna stop me. “Nothing’s going to clutter or cloud my mind except for pursuing Hannah.” When Luke eventually got back in front of Hannah, he explained that the serious nature of their relationship issues “hasn’t hit me until tonight,” saying to The Bachelorette: “I just want you to know that I am crazy about you and I feel so strongly about you and I genuinely want to marry you. I could care less about anything. Nothing matters to me except you.” Is that sweet? Or are those the words of a stalker? Hannah leaned more toward the former, choosing to keep Luke around until at least the rose ceremony. “I’m pretty aware that every single guy doesn’t like Luke P., but what I did tonight by not giving him a rose but not sending him home was the right decision for me,” Hannah reasoned to the cameras. “And the guys have to trust me and to know that I’m doing the best for my heart, not just for that relationship, but for all my relationships. “Finally, he was at least meeting me where I needed him to. If he continues with small moments where he really did show himself and show true emotion and struggle, then that man will receive a rose every time. “But if by tomorrow he goes right back to the weird, robotic Luke that I have no connection with, then he won’t get a rose.” The other suitors all had serious issues with Hannah not kicking Luke (hard!) to the curb. Garrett asked the former beauty queen about it, specifically about whether Luke stopped trashing his fellow contestants as he vowed he would, and she replied as follows: “I’m aware that there are feelings about him from everyone. And I addressed that. And so he did say Mike’s name, but I do feel like I provoked it a lot in that moment, and I also asked about another situation, and he did say Devin and Dylan. “But I think it was truly having a conversation about something and I was the one that asked.” Despite this reply, Garrett went back to the suitors and everyone continued to slam Luke… which prompted Hannah to emerge and deliver the ultimate Bachelorette rant to each and every guy remaining. We’re just gonna publish the full transcript of it here, for full and awesome effect: I’m so frustrated about there always being fights in the house and it’s pissing me off. I don’t know what’s going on but it’s getting it’s getting really frustrating that there [are] always being fights in the house and then tell me exactly what was happening. I will answer any question about what he said to me and then you can tell me if that’s true or not and then we can all talk about it because it’s affecting everything at this point. I’m frustrated as f-ck. The thing I want to say to you all is stay in your freakin’ lane because I’m tired of hearing screaming. That sound you hear right now if every other Bachelorette in history standing up and applauding Hannah. After hearing Garrett and Luke continue to argue, Brown downed her champagne and marched right back out to confront everyone. “I’m a grown-ass woman and I can decide if I want to spend my time figuring all this out or if I don’t, but you’re not in my conversations with him, just like he’s not in the conversations with all of you,” Hannah declared. “Please stop pointing fingers at other people and allow me to do that and focus on yourself and what I need from you. “Everybody thinks it just Luke that makes me feel freakin’ psycho and irritated right now. It’s all of you, it’s truly all of you that makes me feel this way.” At the rose ceremony, Luke P. received a rose… because of course he did, right? So did Connor, Tyler C., Dustin, Peter, Dylan and Garrett, therefore sending home Devin, Kevin and Grant. However, Hannah did not offer a toast to her remaining suitors, telling them: “We have got to all get on the same page.” Will they, though? Visit our section of The Bachelorette spoilers to see what’s on tap and check out this intense trailer to see why Luke truly sucks.

Source: AUDU ALI MARTE / Getty Triple Suicide Bombing Leaves At Least 30 People Dead A major tragedy hit northeastern Nigeria on Monday that left dozens of people dead. According to The New York Times , at least 30 people were killed in a triple suicide bombing, according to emergency services. Sources say the attacks bear the markings of the Boko Haram jihadist group. On Sunday, three bombers detonated their explosives outside a hall in the town of Konduga, where soccer fans were viewing a game on T.V. Usman Kachalla, the head of operations for the Nigerian emergency management agency, explained on Monday, “The death toll from the attack has so far increased to 30. We have over 40 people injured.” Ali Hassan, who heads a self-defense group in Konduga, said the attack occurred around 9 p.m. on Sunday and the operator of the hall had prevented one of the attackers from entering the crowded venue. “There was a heated argument between the operator and the bomber who blew himself up,” Hassan said by telephone, adding that two other bombers were among the crowd at a tea stall nearby when they detonated their vests. “Nine people died on the spot, including the operator, and 48 were injured,” Hassan said. Kachalla of the emergency management agency said that the large number of fatalities was because responders couldn’t reach the site of the explosion quickly and they were ill equipped to deal with the large numbers wounded. Boko Haram remains a suspect in the tragedy. They’ve led a decade-long campaign to create a hard-lined Islamist state in northeastern Nigeria. The last suicide bomb attack was just in April, when two bombers blew themselves up outside the garrison town of Monguno, wounding one soldier while killing another soldier and a vigilante. So far, Boko Haram has claimed 27,000 lives and forced about two million people to flee their homes. Prayers and condolences to those who lost people in the attack.
