Porn Stars Fight Ruling To Make Them Wear Safety Goggles, Condoms Freaky flick stars are trying to make sure condoms don’t come between them and their cashflow. A new law going into motion in California would try to require porn stars to use medical-level protection Via NYPost : One after another, scores of people who make porn films for a living pleaded their case to California workplace safety officials: Don’t force condoms or safety goggles or other devices designed to stop the spread of sexually transmitted diseases on them because those devices will simply stop people from watching porn films and soon they’ll have no jobs at all. “All of us are here for the same reason. We want to keep California workers safe,” porn actress SiouxsieQ, who also reports on the industry for various publications, told the state Division of Occupational Safety and Health’s Standards Board during a public hearing Thursday. But adopting regulations specifically requiring the use of condoms and other safety measures that audiences don’t like would only keep people from watching films and destroy a multibillion-dollar business that employs thousands, she and dozens of others told the board. Under the 21-page proposal Cal/OSHA rejected, so-called engineering controls “such as condoms” must be used by actors engaging in sex to reduce the risk of transmitting HIV and other diseases. Movie producers would also be required to pay for medical visits, treatments and other health-care costs for their performers. The problem, several speakers said, is that a large segment of their audience loses interest in a film when they see actors with condoms. Others said that if the rules were put into effect, Cal/OSHA inspectors could also eventually begin ordering actors to use safety goggles and dental dams, adding no one would want to see a film with that equipment. Interesting. Do you porn-watchers think you could enjoy flicks if the actors wore hazmat suits while they were getting it in?? Creative Commons
Jermaine Jackson Blasts Donald Trump For Namedropping Michael Donald Trump randomly felt the need to bring up his old “friend” Michael Jackson, and speak on his surgeries and self esteem issues while on his campaign trail the other day: And Jermaine was NOT having it. Via NYDN : Donald Trump should “Beat It,” according to the King of Pop’s big brother. Former Jackson 5 member Jermaine Jackson slammed the blowhard billionaire Friday for speculating that his late friend Michael Jackson had lost his confidence due to “bad, bad, bad” plastic surgery. “‘Friends’ don’t pay tribute by peddling b.s. theories about Michael’s ‘loss in confidence,’” the musician tweeted in response to the loudmouthed mogul’s comments during a CNN GOP town hall. “This fool Trump needs to sit down.” “Michael’s confidence was affected by the pressures, injustice and vitriol of external circumstances,” he added. “Period.” Jackson also accused Trump — who embarked on an unexpected tangent about Jacko’s life and legacy during Thursday’s Anderson Cooper-hosted event — of pandering to the Moonwalker’s fans. “Name-dropping Michael don’t make you cool and won’t win you votes,” he said. “Especially when using botched facts.” Good for Jermaine standing up for his brother’s legacy. Who asked Donald anyway??? Associated Press / Splash
STEEEE-PHENNNN! We hope Laguna Beach alum Kristin Cavallari never, ever stops sharing throwback photos of her high school days. On February 19th, the mom-of-three and newly minted author posted an Instagram featuring ex-boyfriend Stephen Colletti. “Flipping through #BalancingInHeels is a little trip down memory lane,” she wrote. “We were babies! Link in bio #LagunaBeach #HighSchool #TBT.” Cavallari talked about the MTV series that made her a reality star while promoting her new book, Balancing in Heels , which features not only self-hip tips for healthy living, but stories from her past that have helped her live a happier life. “This is the first time I’ve ever been this raw and this real,” she told Momtasti c. Cavallari dated Colletti, who was a year ahead of her in high school. Their tumultuous relationship, including a love triangle with Lauren Conrad, was captured for the cameras “It’s funny because on Laguna Beach I came off like the person who really had my sh*t together but I was a mess–like most teenagers,” Cavallari admitted. “I was really unhappy. There’s a saying that you have to learn to love yourself before anyone else can love you, and it’s very true.” The show, Cavallari revealed, “was really our lives being manipulated by being put in situations we never would have been in normally.” Cavallari missed her ten-year high school reunion back in November due to the birth of her third child (and first girl), Saylor James.
As you probably already know, Tila Tequila is a crazy person. We don’t mean she’s a little eccentric, or she has an odd way of looking at the world, we mean that in all likelihood, she’s clinically and dangerously insane. If you don’t believe us, just check out her Twitter activity over the past 24 hours. It started yesterday when Tila threatened to shoot up a movie theater and then proceeded to announce her new phone sex line, which she advertised with the above pics, captioned – for some reason – #BlackAsianBootyLivesMatter. And that was just the start of the racially-charged insanity. From there, Tila declared herself God, then stated that she intends to start a race war. No, really: “I am for real on my way to Target. I’ll be safe there since the colored shops at Wal-mart,” Tila tweeted, apparently referencing the fact that she recently raised thousands of dollars on GoFundMe for the stated purpose of helping her move into a bigger apartment and switch to a different retail giant. From there, things got really, really crazy, even by the standards of a woman who claims to have a robot brain and believes the Earth is flat. Here’s a small sample of Tila’s most insane/hateful tweets from the past few hours: “But seriously! Leave the blacks alone! Just cuz they pray 2 their fried chicken God does not make them different than us who have real Gods!” “I am God. ” “First the Jews, then the Feds, and now the blacks. *sighs* I feel like Kim Jong. So ronery!” “I bet all the blacks here just smoked a blunt.” “No one can defeat me! I am God and shall be worshipped as such!” “I will always despise humanity and my disdain for them shall always remain no matter how hard I am being brainwashed!” “Please don’t give me that ‘we all bleed the same underneath’ crap! Cuz I don’t even bleed!” “All the white people are secretly worshipping right now.” “As much as I’d like to continue this race war that I have single handedly incited, I must go take care of my kid. We finna eat breakfast!” Yes, just another day in the life of the craziest person on Twitter. Sorry, Kanye. You’ve officially lost that title.

Fans were thrilled to see Lamar Odom back on his feet last week, but two of his biggest fans weren’t pleased after he snubbed them. Hard. His trip to Kanye West’s New York Fashion Week show last Thursday was his first official appearance since being hospitalized last year. Odom’s recovery has been somewhat miraculous, and there are even rumors of Lamar and Khloe Kardashian back together for real. Pretty amazing stuff, right? Not for Destiny Odom and Lamar Odom, Jr. “He didn’t see his kids when he was in NYC and the kids were upset,” an insider says. “They were supposed to come out and see him.” However, “Lamar has been embarrassed to call, and they are angry.” Destiny and Lamar Jr., the two surviving children from his relationship with his ex-girlfriend Liza Morales , “were very upset” about this. The 36-year-old’s NYC trip was very brief – he flew back to L.A. on Friday, February 12 – but it reflects an ongoing issue with Morales. There’s no love lost between Khloe, Lamar’s wife and the woman who was making medical decisions for him, and his children’s mother. Morales and the kids rushed to the former NBA star’s side when he was hospitalized following an overdose at a Las Vegas-area brothel. They also spent Christmas with him, celebrating the holiday in his hospital room at Los Angeles’ Cedars-Sinai before he was discharged. So to be snubbed as soon as Odom’s feeling better – even if that wasn’t his intention, which we can’t speak to – has got to really sting. As for the status of Lamar’s health – physically and romantically with Khloe – reports differ from one day to the next, so stay tuned there. View Slideshow: Lamar Odom: A Timeline of Tragedy
Dear Bossip , For the past 3 ½ years I’ve been in an off and on relationship. When I first met him he had a son. A few months later after getting to know him a girl stated that she was pregnant with his child. That caused a big damp in the relationship, so I left him alone. When she delivered he took a DNA test and come to find out the child wasn’t his. He reached out to me for months, but I never budged. One day, he found me and insisted I hear him out. I heard him out and he told me how sorry he was and that the child wasn’t his. A few weeks later, we ended up trying to work this out and decided we wanted to make it official. Year two, we’re official and now the same girl comes back again and says she’s pregnant with his child and this time she said it’s his. Another stressful situation we had to go through. This time I stuck it out. I stuck it out because I felt like this girl is really trying to ruin us and is a whore that just sleeps with everybody. This time my boyfriend’s reaction towards this situation was different. This time he wasn’t so sure. He said it was a 50/50 chance that the child could possibly be his. He and I ended up breaking up towards the end of her giving birth. He cheated on me with another female and I ended up blowing up and rushed him (meaning I fought him). After that he decided to be with his baby momma for the sake of the child. This time the child is his. He reached out to me for 10 months without any response from me. I was crushed (I never wanted to speak to him again, let alone be with him because of his bad decisions). Ten months later we met at a party. He found out I was going to be there by a source. That night we ended up talking a few things out. He wanted to prove his love for me and of course to tell me how sorry he was. About a month later we were official again, but taking things really slow. It was very difficult for me to accept his child. But, it was easy to accept his first child due to the fact I knew about that child and he was already there in the beginning. My boyfriend and I decided to move in together. We spoke about marriage and all. Living together didn’t last too long. He ended up cheating again, talking to me any kind of way, coming home late (three times), etc. When he cheated he and I had a huge fight. At the point I felt like again!?! Still, with all the lies and cheating? I was in shock because this time around I wanted to trust him and he gave me every reason to trust him again based on his actions. But, I guess obviously not. I just wanted us to be happy and on one accord. He felt like I didn’t love his 2nd child and I neglected him. I can say that isn’t true at all. I just needed help in acceptance, but it was never the child. My thing was after he cheated I couldn’t help but to bring back what happened in the past. All the things he had done to me, and to us who were supposed to be a family. From there our relationship declined. Everybody was involved. Family and friends. Some tried to help the situation and some tried to break us apart (my side of family and friends). I ended up packing my bags and left and went back to my dad’s home. I never wanted to leave because I wanted it to work. Three months after moving out, we got in touch. I changed my number as soon as I left. And, now we are on talking terms. But, since I’ve left he’s slept with his baby mama again. That’s the part I don’t like, whether we’re together or not. If she is supposed to be a mistake then why are they sleeping together? I know I skipped so much of my story, but I hope I can get some advice as to why all of this keeps happening. To include more details, he ended up taking her to court for shared custody of the child because she was keeping the child away because of me. She felt if they weren’t together, then the child won’t see his father either. I supported him along the way and I still get a slap in the face. What should I do? Right now I feel like the cycle will continue on. He claims he loves me. And, he probably does, but his way of going about things just won’t change. His first child’s mother passed away after giving birth to him. I wonder if that could have been an affect towards his cycle. I’m not trying to find an excuse because it’s been 8 years. And his 2 nd baby mama is a whore. He said it isn’t in him to hate her and he can’t. I don’t want him to hate her, I want him to be straightforward and stop playing games. He says one thing and does the next. I don’t know if he really wants be with her or not, but if he does then that’s where he should be. And, no, I have no children of my own. I desire some, but he and can’t conceive for some reason. I’ve been pregnant before by my last boyfriend but never with this one. So, no, I don’t know what to do because that’s also important to me. I’m 28 years old and he’s 30 years old. Please help the best way you can from what I gave you. It’s not the full story because it’s so much to say but this sums it all. – Where To Turn Dear Ms. Where To Turn , Well, this keeps happening to you because you keep taking him back. You keep allowing him to mistreat you and take advantage of you. As long as you continue to lay down and let him wipe his feet on you, then he will keep doing it. His baby momma is not going anywhere. She will forever and always be in the picture. And, the fact that he chose to be with his baby momma after you learned he cheated with another woman, that should have been the end of him, FOREVER! You are a glutton for punishment. You like all this drama and stress in your life. So, you have to ask yourself what is it about you that need this and him in your life? He is not positively adding to your life. He is not bringing anything to the table. He doesn’t lift you up, or inspire you or empower you. He is not going above and beyond to make sure you know that you are the number one woman in his life. No, he is lying to you. He doesn’t love you. He loves no one but himself. He’s made his choice in which woman he wants to be with, and that is why he keeps sleeping with his baby momma. That is where he wants to be. So, why can’t you get that inside your thick ass skull? You’re making excuses for him and his behavior, and trying to figure out what is it about him, or his baby momma that he keeps going back to her. You are justifying his behavior instead of holding him accountable for what he is doing. STOP IT! Stop trying to rationalize and justify what he is doing. He is doing it because he can, and you allow him to. Lawd, you are truly emotionally and mentally unstable. I don’t know any woman who would remain with a man after learning that the woman he supposedly got pregnant the first time comes back again a second time and says she’s pregnant, and he tells you that it’s a 50/50 chance it may be his. That was when the relationship should have ended for good. There was no coming back, talking things through, or reconciling. NO! That should have been the end of it. Obviously you’re thirsty and desperate for a man. Obviously you are the one who can’t seem to let him go. There is some soul searching and some deep interrogations you need to do with yourself of why you keep letting him back into your life. He lies to you. You take him back. He cheats on you with multiple women. You take him back. He has babies with other women. You take him back. He tells you that he wants to be with his baby momma, but after they take a break, you take him back. You see the pattern, and the common denominator in all of this – it’s you! You keep letting him back into your life. He can’t keep coming and going unless you allow him. And, for the life of me, I don’t understand why you are clamoring to be baby momma number three. Are you serious? Girl, you are that desperate to keep and have a man that you are willing to bring a child into this horrid drama and life with this low life piece of scum of man? He has two children by two different women, and you said the other child lost his mother right after the child was born. So, ask yourself, where is that child? He is not taking care of that child. If he isn’t involved in that child’s life, and he is recklessly active in his second child’s life, then only imagine what type of father/parent he will be with your child. Please save yourself and don’t consider procreating with this man. It’s a reason you can’t get pregnant by him, and be thankful you can’t. Besides, if he’s running up in his baby momma raw, then why are you letting him have unprotected sex with you? GIRL! I CAN’T! All I can tell you is that at some point you are going to have to start loving yourself. You are going to have to start choosing you, and your happiness. Until you can authentically look at yourself, and learn to love yourself and choose you, then you will keep choosing him and his happiness and trying to make him happy when you are miserable and dying inside. He is killing you spiritually, mentally, and emotionally and you don’t even recognize that you are dying. I hope you will read your letter again, see the pattern, and recognize that you keep this going with him. This could all end if you simply decide to choose you, end it for good, and completely delete him out of your life. Notice that he doesn’t build you, or add to your life. He doesn’t contribute anything positive or good. He is a detriment to your happiness, your joy, and your love. Eliminate him and a whole new world will open up for you. And, please stop calling his baby momma a whore. You’re angry and upset with her when your man is the problem. You’re pointing fingers at her, yet, your man keeps going to her bed.

When you think of Kim Kardashian, you think of an ass. And we’re not just talking about her behavior. Obviously, we’re referring to her gigantic derriere, pics of which she shares so on the regular that they’re getting pretty old at this point. Baby sister Kylie Jenner has followed suit, and we are now overly familiar with DAT ass. But eldest sis Kourtney Kardashian? We really haven’t seen the likes of her booty much around these parts as the mom of three has, for the most part, kept it klassy. UNTIL NOW. Yep, Kourtney has jumped on the ass wagon by sharing a close up photo of her rump to Instagram. Her bum is covered in beads from the outfit she wore to brother-in-law Kanye West’s Yeezy fashion show – a number designed by ‘Ye himself (with the help of Balmain). We wonder if Kourt questioned her outfit choice upon sitting down – a thousand tiny beads digging into your ass sounds almost as delightful as a deep tissue massage by Edward Scissorhands. Funnily enough, sister Kylie posted a very similar pic yesterday , complete with bits of butt flesh peeking through the, um, fabric? Kourtney has been taking more corporeal risks lately. She recently posed nude in photos for a fine art gallery , and ironically, during the shoot she confessed she felt insecure about her behind. “We need to plump it up,” she told the photographer. Looks like Kourt’s ass esteem has risen exponentially. Although we admire Kourtney’s newfound confidence and love that she’s having fun, honestly, we really don’t need another sister turning into Kim. We’ve already lost hope for Kylie, and the LAST thing the world needs is three Kim Kardashians. View Slideshow: 14 Times We Thought Kylie Jenner was Actually Kim Kardashian
Hate the Kardashians? You're not alone. Members of the Kardashian-Jenner family seem to find themselves entangled in a new feud every week – whether it's with outsiders or amongst themselves. There have been so many it's tough to keep track. We've compiled some of the more memorable disputes so we can all relive the sometimes funny, sometimes maddening, always eye-rollable moments. 1. Rob vs. Kim Rob Kardashian has made it clear that he’s no fan of his sister Kim, whom he once compared to “the bitch from Gone Girl” on Instagram. Rob’s sour grapes could be in part due to Kim publicly fat-shaming him, but this sibling strife certainly escalated when Rob bailed out on Kim’s wedding to Kanye West in 2014. 2. Jon Hamm vs. Kim Jon Hamm lamented the downfall of society for celebrating the “stupidity” of people like Kim Kardashian, referring to her as a “f*cking idiot.” Kim called his remarks “careless,” because she considers herself a successful business woman. Jon followed up by affirming that his critique was indeed “accurate.” 3. Farrah Abraham vs. Kendall Farrah Abraham has a penchant for picking fights with folks more famous than she, particularly after she saw how many headlines she made following her feud with Nicki Minaj. In fact, said feud led to a new beef with Kendall Jenner, who had sided with Nicki. Farrah then posted a meme to Instagram suggesting Ray J made the Kardashian-Jenner family famous by appearing in a sex tape with Kim. She tagged Kendall and included the hashtag #lifechoices. 4. Blac Chyna vs. Kylie Blac Chyna’s ex-fiance and baby daddy Tyga reportedly dumped her for an underaged Kylie Jenner, and the two women have been at odds ever since. They’ve traded numerous jabs on social media, and Blac angered the whole family by getting romantic with Kylie’s brother Rob. 5. Amber Rose vs. Kim, Khloe & Kylie This one gets a little complicated. Amber first claimed that Kanye West cheated on her with Kim Kardashian, and that the she would still be with the rapper if is wasn’t for Kim. Fast forward a couple years to hear Amber dissing Kylie’s relationship with Tyga, who as we learned left Blac Chyna (Amber’s BFF) for the then 17-year-old. Khloe Kardashian defended her sister and went at it with Amber on Twitter. In February of 2016, however, Kim and Amber seemed to reconcile when both shared a pic of them together following a nasty Twitter war between Kanye, Wiz Khalifa and Amber. 6. Daniel Craig vs. The Family Daniel Craig echoed fellow actor Jon Hamm’s sentiments during an interview with GQ, in which he referred to the family as, here’s that term again, “f*cking idiots.” Family matriarch Kris Jenner demanded an apology, but we never heard one from the James Bond actor.

Damon and Stefan may be out of The Phoenix Stone. But viewers witnessed on The Vampire Diaries Season 7 Episode 11 just how these brothers are not of the dangerous woods just yet as a result of the time in their respective personal Hells. Much to his surprise, Damon was actually forgiven almost immediately for his violent actions to close out The Vampire Diaries Season 7 Episode 10 , as Stefan said everyone understood. Damon thought he was still inside the Stone and the Stone seriously effs with people’s minds. Simply enough. How does Stefan know this so well? Because we got a glimpse into his journey through Hell this week, which included the endless nightmare of Damon trying to kill Caroline. Stefan still saw this image for many weeks after being awaken and he finally realized why. He finally realized the message the Stone was trying to tell him: That he’ll never be happy until Damon is out of his life for good. But, come on. This is Stefan Salvatore. He has Hero Hair. And he ended the hour by assuring Damon that he’ll never leave him, that the two are stuck together for life. View Slideshow: 15 Best Shows in CW History: Ranked! It was a very sweet sentiment, but Damon couldn’t exactly appreciate it in that moment. And here’s why: Still haunted himself by his experience in the Stone, Damon kept seeing his Civil War friend everywhere. The dude kept harassing Damon about how he’s truly a monster and how it was his job to bring the monster back out. So, to rid himself of this pseudo stalker, Damon poured gasoline all over his body and set it afire. But this was the problem with that plan: Damon actually set ELENA’s BODY on fire! Tyler (randomly in town for Caroline’s baby shower) agreed to take Damon to visit his unconscious girlfriend, only for Damon to see his hallucination instead of Elena. He then knocked Tyler out and set the body ablaze, only to later realize it was Elena all along. He couldn’t bring himself to tell Stefan what happened and now we’re left to wonder: is Elena’s body really burned to a crisp?!? Elsewhere this week: Caroline learned that Alaric was planning to get a job in Texas and raise his twins there. Makes perfect sense as far as wanting to keep them safe, but this made Caroline very sad. She has grown attached to those twins. Julian has turned Mystic Falls into one crazy, constant, violent party town, letting his Heretics run loose. We learned about The Huntress: the Phoenix Stone sword belongs to her and she will stop at nothing to track down those who have been stabbed with it. And she’s on her way to Mystic Falls. Might she be the cop who pulled over Matt for drunk driving and who found his collection of weapons in his truck? We ask because the flash forward to three years from now featured Matt teaming up WITH The Huntress, letting Caroline go free but admitting that he’s helping The Huntress go after Stefan. That’s a lot to digest. Go watch The Vampire Diaries online if you need to catch up and sound off below on a great episode.
