Kardashians Slap Each Other on the Butt. A Lot.

According to Oprah Winfrey, the Kardashians work very hard . The lives of these reality stars are not all fun and games, the talk show goddess recently argued. They actually work hard! But one would not exactly know it, not based on the latest supercut video released by E! in anticipation of Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 11. New episodes of everyone's favorite scripted reality show kick off on Sunday, November 15 at 9/8c, with the network getting fans excited by giving us a look at various members of this family slapping each other on the rear end. Really. That's the entire basis for the following footage. You'd think E! would want to separate itself from the Kim Kardashian sex tape , wouldn't you? Strange. We wonder if Ray J gave the family members this idea. As for what fans can expect to see on Sunday nights this fall and winter, we can confirm the following storylines are set to take place within the Kardashian household and immediately surrounding it: Scott Disick will keep partying and ignoring his family, with Kourtney and company even holding an intervention for the wayward baby daddy at some point. The Kardashians will continue to deal with the fallout from Caitlyn Jenner's gender transformation and how this has placed the star directly into the LGBT spotlight. Kim Kardashian will continue to grow, getting closer and closer to her second baby's due date. (It's gonna be a boy!) Kendall Jenner will continue to see her modeling career take off, while Kylie Jenner will keep dating Tyga and taking her clothes off on Instagram. Need to catch up before the November 15 premiere? You can always watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online , quickly and easily. Need to watch these ladies smacking each other on their rear ends? What are you waiting for?!? Do so now:

Jessa Duggar Baby Upate: He’s Huge!

We have an update on Jessa Duggar’s baby boy. An update on Jessa Duggar’s very LARGE baby boy, that is. As reported last night, Jessa Duggar gave birth to her first child on Thursday afternoon, finally becoming a mother after 40-plus weeks of posting photos of her ever-expanding state on Instagram. Husband Ben Seewald then shared a picture of his newborn online this morning, only to follow it up a few hours later with an update concerning child and mother. “Our sweet baby boy was born last night. He weighed 9 lbs and 11 ounces and is 21 1/4 inches long!,” Ben wrote on www.theseewaldfamily.com. “He’s precious and both he and Jessa are doing great.” Glad to hear it! Especially concerning that weight and that length. Holy hugeness, Jessa! We’re relieved to hear you are holding up okay after such a delivery. As for the little one’s name? Ben knows fans are curious. But that doesn’t mean he’s prepared to satisfy that curiosity just yet. “Stay tuned – we will share his name soon,” Seewald wrote online. In light of another Duggar family member entering the world, Jessa’s brother-in-law Derick Dillard and her sister Jill Dillard congratulated the couple on Friday. “Congrats to Jessa and Ben on the birth of their baby boy!” Derick wrote on Instagram, adding: “y’all are great parents already! May you raise this little guy in the love and admonition of our Lord. #congrats #newparents #newnephew #prouduncle.” Jill Duggar, who gave north herself to a boy named Israel , shared a celebratory message of her own on social media, keeping it short, simple and enthusiastic: “Yay! So excited for @jessaseewald and @ben_seewald.” According to TLC insiders, new baby boy will be a focal point on Counting On, the network’s upcoming series of specials featuring Jessa and sister Jill and where their lives are now.

Kris Jenner Attempts to Cash in On Lamar Odom, Pisses Off Khloe Kardashian

The good news is, Lamar Odom is on the mend after the overdose that nearly claimed his life. The bad news is, he’s still enmeshed with the Kardashian family, which means everything he does is viewed as a possible source of TV ratings. We’ve already heard about Kris Jenner’s attempts to cash in on Odom’s overdose , but now she’s apparently taking things to the next level – and seriously pissing off Khloe Kardashian in the process. According to Radar Online, Kris recently presented Lamar with a contract which would ensure that footage of his recovery could be used on upcoming episodes of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. “Khloe confronted Kris after she found out that her mother tried to get Lamar to sign the contract in order to be able to use the footage that has been shot for next season’s show,” says an insider. “Kris knows that that having this be a huge part of Season 11 would be great for ratings because viewers will definitely tune in. Khloe thinks that Kris is being completely irrational about this.” Yeah, we’re gonna have to go ahead and side with Khloe on this one. Unfortunately, it seems everyone’s favorite Kardashian doesn’t quite know what she’s up against: “She told Kris that Lamar is not a part of the show any more and neither she, nor him, will make money off of this.” says the source. “But in the end, Kris knows that she is going to win this fight because she calls the shots.” Seriously, Khloe, think this one through. Standing between Kris and ratings is like taking a side of beef away from a lion. View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian & Lamar Odom: Romance Rewind … Then Unwind

13 Reality TV Hoaxes You Totally Fell For

Admit it: you've been had at some point in the past, haven't you? You thought what you were watching on reality television was 100% real, only to later learn the devastating truth. We've all been there. And now we can all be here: relive the most shocking reality TV show hoaxes in history below… 1. Dance Moms We’ll just let Maddie Ziegler, arguably the show’s top performer, lay it right out for you, courtesy of an interview with USA Today: “The producers set it up to make us all yell at each other. You know how I said that moms do fight? The moms have a fake fight sometimes. Afterward they just start talking and laugh about it.” Host Abby Lee Miller really does suck, however. that’s not fake. 2. House Hunters Bobi Jensen blogged in 2012, on a site titled “Hooked on Houses,” that her experience on House Hunter was totally contrived. Turns out, the couple had selected its home prior to appearing on the show and producers even changed Jensen’s story over why she was moving. 3. Breaking Amish Can we change the title of this TLC series to “Having Already Broken Amish?” After the very first episode aired, it came out that most participants had already left their Amish family for the bright lights of the big city. 4. Storage Wars Dave Hester, a prominent presence on A&E’s Storage Wars, left production and sued the network over the phony aspects of the show. He said producers loaded units up with items to give each episode an artificial angle and that they even funneled money to teams to keep each episode’s bidding competitive. 5. Ghost Adventures Ghost Adventures star Aaron Goodwin was fired in 2014 after he stopped by the podcast Are We Alone and explained how the network staged reactions, sound effects and other aspects of the program. He said it was “sickening” that he was part of such a “fraud.” 6. The Hills Lauren Conrad, Brody Jenner and other cast members have come out and said pretty much everything you saw on this MTV reality show as scripted. Shocking, we know! View Slideshow

Bill Simmons: PISSED at ESPN For Shutting Down Grantland

Back in May, ESPN fired Bill Simmons unexpectedly, thus forcing sports fans everywhere (read: Boston) to go to Gisele Bundchen’s Twitter page in order to read the boastful ramblings of someone who regularly fellates Tom Brady. We kid Simmons, but he’s really one of the funniest and most insightful sports journalists working today, and he deserved better than to be unceremoniously canned in very public fashion. Now, ESPN has twisted the knife by shutting down Grantland, the irreverent sports and pop culture site that Simmons created in 2011. Many of the site’s writers stated that they found out they’d been laid off only when they saw the network’s tweets about the site being suspended. In a statement, ESPN said that it plans to honor the contracts of all current Grantland writers and hopes to hire many of them to write for other ESPN platforms. So while several casualties of the move have lamented the end of the site, most of them have kept any outrage they may be feeling in check. But not Simmons: “I loved everyone I worked with at G and loved what we built. Watching good/kind/talented people get treated so callously = simply appalling,” Simmons tweeted moments ago.  The 46-year-old journalist has butted heads with ESPN many times over the course of his career. He was most recently suspended by the network last year for calling NFL commissioner Roger Goodell a “liar.” His termination a few months later is believed to be the result of his tense relationship with network brass. In a statement, ESPN claimed that the decision to shut down Grantland has nothing to do with Simmons or the nature of the site’s content, but was simply a result of the need to “direct our time and energy going forward to projects that we believe will have a broader and more significant impact across our enterprise.” We’re sure Simmons will have more to say on the topic in the very near future.

Teresa Giudice: Mistreating Daughter Gia From Behind Bars?

Teresa Giudice is almost through serving her 15-month prison sentence for bankruptcy fraud.  Of course, thanks to Bravo’s (hilariously low-rated) Teresa Checks In specials, the incarcerated Housewife has already returned to the network that made her famous…kind of. We hear Teresa’s voice on the show (through phone calls to her family), but for obvious reasons, she never actually appears on camera. It’s not the first time that Teresa has figured out innovative ways to remind the world of her continued existence. Back in June, a tweet from Teresa  baffled fans, as prisoners are not permitted to use social media. It turns out the tweet was posted by Teresa’s 14-year-old daughter Gia (at Teresa’s request), and if that were the only time that Gia was asked to assist with her mother’s career during her sentence, it probably would’ve been no big deal. But as Teresa Checks In demonstrates, Gia has basically served as her mother’s proxy during the past ten months, and many fans feel that such treatment constitutes abuse on Gia’s part .  “I hate that! Those kids should never be involved in grownup’s business,” tweeted one viewer. “People usually change when they go to prison, but it’s so obvious Teresa and her husband won’t change one bit,” wrote another.  Obviously, Teresa isn’t in a position to defend her parenting decisions, but we get the feeling she’ll have plenty to say on the matter when she’s released.

Netflix has confirmed that it has finalized a deal with Warner Bros., creator Amy Sherman-Palladino and executive producer Daniel Palladino to bring back Gilmore Girls for a special limited series event.
