Taylor Lianne Chandler: Michael Phelps’ Fiancee is a GOLD DIGGER!

Michael Phelps may have racked up an astonishing 28 Olympic medals over the course of his record-breaking career, but according to a woman who knew him for about a week two years, its Phelps fiancee who’s really going for the gold. If you caught any of Phelps’ impressive performances in the pool at Rio, you’re probably aware that he got engaged to Nicole Johnson in February of last year. Phelps and Johnson welcomed their first son , Boomer, in May and the two of them were right next to the swimmer’s beaming mother in the grandstands, as well as at every post-race interview during his historic fifth trip to the Olympics. Over the years, Americans watched Phelps mature from a gifted wunderkind in Athens to a still-dominant legend of his sport in Rio. It’s hard to imagine a happier ending to such an incredible story than to see a boy wonder-turned-man of the hour joined by his overjoyed fiancee and adorable young son as he caps off one of the great careers in sports. But as the great philosopher Taylor Swift reminded us every time we turned on the radio last summer, “Haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate.” Enter Taylor Lianne Chandler, a woman who hooked up with Phelps back in 2014 and has devoted her life to riding his coattails ever since. Chandler’s efforts to cash in on her fling with Phelps ranged from tweeting a photo of his penis to increase her social media following to starring in an Olympic-themed por n (seriously). Ever since Phelps announced his retirement, Chandler seems to have realized that she’s at the 14:59 mark of her 15 minutes of fame, and she’s ramped up her attacks on the Olympian and his family in a last-ditch effort to make a name for herself. Just today, she claimed that Phelps hired a gay male escort after he got engaged to Johnson. When that didn’t provide her with the attention she craved, she offered up this truly ugly attack on Phelps fiancee: View Slideshow: Taylor Lianne Chandler: Michael Phelps’ Girlfriend?! “Who in their right mind is going to have a baby in the middle of training for the Olympics? Nobody,” Chandler said during a podcast interview. “Hats off to that girl for securing her future. Because of his training he’s hardly been there since Boomer was born so you cannot tell me in any way shape or form that they wanted – that he wanted to start a family while he’s in the middle of 10-16 hour training days leading into the Olympics.” Yes, she just accused a woman she’s never met of “securing her future” by tricking her wealthy fiance into getting her pregnant. Oh, and for good measure she threw in that Phelps never wanted kids, another thing she has no possible way of knowing. You stay classy, Ms. Chandler. Or just delete your account. That might be better. View Slideshow: Nicole Johnson: 19 Photos of Michael Phelps’ Fiancee!

Adele Goes Makeup-Free, Nearly Breaks Instagram

If you ask me, ladies look absolutely radiant without makeup . I think that of Kim Kardashian, and I definitely think that of Adele, who recently shared two bare-faced photos on Instagram. So striking is the 28-year-old British chanteuse without makeup that she can walk around undetected in metropolitan areas around the world. Adele is on the Vancouver leg of her tour, and on Tuesday she popped into Catfe , a restaurant where customers can enjoy food and drink. While playing with cats waiting to be adopted, according to Time Magazine. Seriously. That’s a thing. An awesome thing. But anyway: One of the cafe’s baristas, Leona Morrison, was approached by Adele, and at first had no idea who the singer was. The barista informed Adele that the establishment was at maximum capacity due to a 12-year-old’s birthday party. What happened at that point was epic. Morrison told the  Vancouver Sun: “My co-worker was about to tell her that she looked like Adele, when she told us that she is Adele, and she asked if she could come in, if even for a few minutes.” “We said … OK.” Adele proved to be a hit with both the cats and the birthday party attendees. She played with Larry the cat, who managed to get adopted by a family. “I think she went up to Larry because he was available, and also he’s just amenable,” Morrison said. “He’s a friendly guy. He looks like he will accept pats, and he totally will. He’s a great boy.” View Slideshow: 63 Stars Who Are Makeup Free and Fabulous It looks like Adele will expand her resume to include acting.  Digital Sp y reports that the British singer has been cast in The Death and Life of John F Donovan with Natalie Portman, Jessica Chastain and Kit Harington. The role is small, but that doesn’t make it any less exciting. A source with knowledge of the situation told the Daily Star: “Adele doesn’t want to be a full-time actress, but she enjoyed working with Dolan and he thought she could bring a lot to the screen.” Adele will shoot scenes during a break from tour.

Paris Jackson Relapsing? Family Fears Worst as Shocking Photos Surface

Is Paris Jackson headed down a dark path again? The troubled, 18-year-old daughter of Michael Jackson proudly claimed to be a member of Alcoholics Anonymous earlier this year.  She seemed to be on the right track, but are new photos of Paris with her rocker boyfriend, Michael Snoddy , 26, cause for alarm? The entire Jackson family is reportedly “terrified” over her outrageous behavior and believes things could get out of control fast. At issue?  Radar published shocking photos of Jackson and her much older man while on vacation in Palm Springs, California. Jackson and Snoddy have been inseparable since they started dating just a few months ago, when she broke up with Chester Castellaw . She and Michael (Snoddy) met at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in L.A., and immediately hit it off … but are they off the wagon? After she was seen buying Heineken beer on Wednesday, it’s understandable why those close to Paris are fearing the worst. According to a source close the the Jackson family, “Paris is 18 now and there is not really much that anyone can do to stop her.” Wouldn’t the law stop her from drinking, on a side note? We suppose her boyfriend could’ve legally purchased the beer. Forget it. “Of course her family is worried! They are absolutely terrified and have worried about Paris non-stop since her dad Michael died.” “But, up until now, they did not have any proof,” said source. “Paris tells her family that she is still sober and that her boyfriend is, too.” “She claims to be going to A.A. meetings and working with a sponsor. In these photos it looks like Paris wants be [seen] carrying beer.” “She could have had someone else carry the beer for her,” the insider notes, regarding how this story got out, “but she did not!” Prior to turning 18, Paris was under a court-appointed guardianship of her grandmother, Katherine, 85, and cousin, T.J. Jackson, 37. This had been in place even before the Paris Jackson suicide attempt of 2013, a disturbing incident that rocked her family to its core. Even though she recovered, relations with her family remain strained – or at least tenuous – even in good times. Fast forward to this week: “Katherine called Paris and told her to come back home to L.A. immediately. But Paris did not. Instead she hung up on her own grandmother.” “She answering her texts or calls now. She’s not responding to anyone! Paris has a lot of money now and does not listen to what anyone says.” “She knows that no one can cut her off from her fortune, and as much as she says she hates the attention, she absolutely loves it.” Paris, scarily, “is getting a huge taste of fame now.” Here’s hoping it won’t end very, very badly.

See Ya Later, Alligator: Disney Is Removing All Images That Would Remind Guests Of Animal Attack

Disney Removes All Alligator References From Their Theme Parks The folks at Disney are trying to clean up their image a bit in the wake of the alligator attack that left a 2-year-old boy dead , according to the NYPost . The family-friendly money machine is removing all images of alligators from their parks including cartoons, shows and displays. -Louis, the trumpet-playing gator from “The Princess and the Frog,” is no longer part of the Friendship Faire Castle show. -The Tic Toc Croc, who chases bad guy Captain Hook in “Peter Pan,” has been yanked from the Festival of Fantasy Parade at Magic Kingdom. -And the Jungle Cruise boat ride no longer includes a corny one-liner from the captain telling parents to “watch your children, or the crocodiles will,” according to the Hollywood Reporter. Guess they figure parents won’t empty out their life savings to bring their kids to a place where they might die at the hands (and teeth) of a prehistoric-lookin’ beast.

Khloe Kardashian & Odell Beckham Jr: Dating?!

We think it’s safe to say that Khloe Kardashian has a type. And that type is professional athletes. Usually Khloe sticks to basketball players, but it seems she’s mixing it up these days. Recent rumors have Khloe dating New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham, Jr., and insiders say Khlodell started getting serious almost immediately. Yes, you can tell it’s the real deal by the fact that they already have a couple nickname. Media Takeout reports that Khloe and Odell have been “low key seeing each other for months,” but only went public this past weekend. The new couple attended Drake’s Memorial Day party in Los Angeles on Monday, where they apparently made no effort to conceal that they’re dating. Sources say they’d planned to keep the relationship under wraps longer, but were aware that they had been spotted making out at 1Oak the night before, and thus decided to officially let the cat out of the bag at Drizzy’s. Like Khloe, Odell prefers A-list lady friends to the company of mere mortals. Back in February, Beckham was rumored to be dating Zendaya . Sources say their age difference – coupled with the strictness of the Disney star’s dad, who insisted on chaperoning their dates – eventually led Beckham and Zendaya to amicably part ways. Prior to that relationship,  Beckham was linked to Amber Rose . It remains to be seen if that’ll create problems, as Amber and Khloe have been feuding on and off for years. For her part, Khloe was dating James Harden of the Houston Rockets until she turned her attention back to her estranged husband, Lamar Odom, when a drug overdose nearly claimed his life. Khloe filed for divorce from Odom (after years of separation) earlier this month, so we guess it’s smooth sailing ahead for Khlodell. Well, as smooth as it can be when you’re dating a Kardashian.

Kate Beckinsale: Michael Bay Body-Shamed Me!

Director Michael Bay is kind of a jerk, and everybody knows it. While promoting her new movie, Love & Friendship on The Graham Norton Show in the UK on May 27th, Kate Beckinsale brought up the fact that her Pearl Harbor director, Michael Bay was very good at body-shaming women. “I think he was baffled by me because my boobs weren’t bigger than my head and I wasn’t blonde,” Beckinsale said when they made the 2001 blockbuster. “I’d just had my daughter and had lost weight, but I was told that if I got the part, I’d have to work out. And I just didn’t understand why a 1940s nurse would do that.” (For the record, Beckinsale has admitted to having an eating disorder in the past) Even after filming wrapped, Bay was still obnoxious as hell. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Have Struggled with Eating Disorders “When we were promoting the film, Michael was asked why he had chosen Ben and Josh, and he said, ‘I have worked with Ben before and I love him, and Josh is so manly and a wonderful actor,’” Beckinsale recalled. “Then when he was asked about me, he’d say, ‘Kate wasn’t so attractive that she would alienate the female audience.’ He kept saying it everywhere we went — and we went to a lot of places!” Beckinsale isn’t the first actress to call out Bay for his somewhat misogynistic tendancies. Megan Fox claimed he was a nightmare to work for during Transformers . ” He’s like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation,” Fox told Wonderland in 2009. “He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he’s a nightmare to work for but when you get him away from set, and he’s not in director mode, I kind of really enjoy his personality because he’s so awkward, so hopelessly awkward. “He has no social skills at all. And it’s endearing to watch him. He’s vulnerable and fragile in real life and then on set he’s a tyrant.” That…sounds like someone I would never want to have dinner with.  Ever.

Michael Strahan to Pen Scathing Memoir About Kelly Ripa?

Michael Strahan has already left Live! for Good Morning America. But that doesn’t mean the talk show host is done with Kelly Ripa, not according to a new tabloid cover story. The latest issue of Star claims that Strahan has a $10 million offer on the table to pen a memoir that will reveal endless secrets about his former colleague. An anonymous insider tells the magazine that Strahan would “relish telling his side of the story” of why he ditched one ABC program for another. Strahan, of course, announced in mid-April that he would depart Live! in September in order to become a full-time part of Good Morning America. But Ripa felt disrespected enough by the way in which ABC handled this announcement to stage a mini-boycott of her own show. She eventually returned… talked about the need for respect in the workplace … and then awkwardly sat next to Strahan for the next few weeks until he ended up leaving on May 13. Kelly Ripa Just Brought Up Michael Strahan’s Divorce What might a Strahan memoir include? Details on how Live! employees supposedly dislike Ripa, and “how icy-cold she can be toward anyone she deems beneath her.” The magazine writes that Ripa would also tell Strahan “very private, intimate stuff” about her marriage to Mark Consuelos… all of which Strahan is now prepared to spill to the public! Michael has “seen the worst side of Kelly, and he could blow apart her carefully constructed image and ultimately humiliate her,” the bombshell report claims. Ever since Strahan confirmed his job change, there’s been talk that he and Ripa have hated each other for years . Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan Celebrate Daytime Emmy Awards Win And this may very well be true. But Strahan has still carved out a reputation as one of television’s most beloved morning personalities. It seems very hard to believe that he’d risk that for a few million bucks. The guy has raked in plenty already from his professional football career and his new GMA gig. Ripa, meanwhile, has possibly gone rogue . She has also lined up a number of guest co-hosts, with no decision about a permanent fellow anchor expected any time soon. We have a few suggestions, however… View Slideshow: 16 Celebs Who Could Replace Michael Strahan On Live!

The Walking Dead: Newark Woman Popped For Trying To Eat Her Friend’s Face, Biting Boyfriend And Cop

Newark Woman Arrested For Trying To Eat Her Friend’s Face And Biting A Cop Normally when we hear about women trying to eat their friends , there’s more pleasure than pain. Not in this case… Via DailyMail A woman has been arrested after allegedly trying to eat her friend’s face before biting her boyfriend and a police officer during a drug-fueled rampage. Mother Lindie Stewart, 37, was arrested in Newark, New York, on Sunday after police found her being held down in a driveway by her friend, Michael Maricle. When cops arrived, Maricle’s face was bleeding and he told them he was trying to stop her from attacking him again. Haven’t heard many of these stories since people stopped doing bath salts… ‘Michael was holding Lindie down on the driveway and was bleeding from his face. I went to grab Lindie to restrain her,’ Rouse told police. ‘I asked Michael what was happening and he said Lindie began biting his neck and was trying to eat his face and chin. ‘I then watched the policeman place Michael in handcuffs and then he quickly came over to help me. ‘While I was holding Lindie, she began biting me in the center of my chest and my armpit which caused me to experience pain and discomfort.’ Oh yeah, she also said: ‘She also said she is taking Alice to the Moon and that she would kill. She also kept saying “lol lol lol”.’ Cocaine might be one helluva drug, but, uh, naw. HELL naw. Image via Facebook/Newark PD
