Joey Chestnut has done it, people. The professional eater known as “Jaws” recaptured the Mustard Yellow International Belt on Monday, setting a world record while coming out on top of the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. After losing out last year in this same contest to Matt “The Megatoad” Stonie, Chestnut defeated Stonie on July Fourth by downing 70 hot dogs. In 10 minutes. That marks the most hot dogs ever consumed by a human being in that amount of time. Chestnut had held the previous mark of 69 , setting the figure in 2013. Contest officials said Chestnut also set a record last month when he ate 73 1/2 hot dogs and buns during a qualifying event, but this is the confirmed number that will go on record. As he held the mustard-colored belt after his victory on Monday afternoon, Chestnut said Stonie had “woke up the sleeping giant” when he upset him last year. He simply would not allow that to happen again. “Last year was rough,” Chestnut told the crowd. “This year was the best ever.” Stonie – who hails from the same California city as Chestnut – said there were “no excuses” for his loss. He said Chestnut did an amazing job. That's one way of putting it. Watch Jaws chomp down on all 70 hot dogs below:
KABOOM! No, we’re not making the sound of July Fourth fireworks here. We’re making the sound of the bombshell that was dropped on Sunday night’s new installment of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. The BABY bombshell, that is. Oh, yes, Blac Chyna is pregnant with Rob Kardashian’s baby. This is not news to anyone who follows the world of celebrity gossip, of course, but those who watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online got to witness the reactions of Rob’s siblings this week because the show is taped weeks before it airs. The kicked off with Rob texting his older sisters, asking about having a chat discuss his recent engagement to Blac Chyna while they were away skiing. They weren’t thrilled to learn about what news either, of course. “Are you being serious?” Kim asks upon first learning Chyna is expecting. “No I’m being Bible, I’m being dead a–,” Rob responded. “But you have to understand I’ve been trying to do this, I’m not even kidding, this was like really my decision, like it really wasn’t hers on dad’s grave on everything, on Bible.” On bible, people. For reals. “I want mom and you guys involved,” Rob continued. “I don’t expect you guys to be all happy, but I’m sure you guys will eventually. I want you all a part of it. There needs to be a talk between you guys … she’s going to be in your lives forever.” Kim and Kourtney seemed accepting of this reality. But Khloe, though? The sister especially close to Rob? “I don’t know my emotions right now. I am empty … I am internally sad,” she said to the camera at one point. Later on, Khloe and Kourtney talked via phone to their mother, who was in Dubai. They told her that all was fine at home. “There’s nothing we can do … what’s done is done. I don’t know,” Khloe said to Kris, clearly lost and confused. Elsewhere during an intense episode of scripted television, Kylie freaked out over her lip kit . After opening up to her loved ones about it, Kim and Kourtne stopped by to try and talk to her about coping mechanisms when dealing with anxiety. “I don’t know, I just know I’m not supposed to be famous,” Kylie told them in one of the dumber comments in series history, adding: “I can feel it deep down inside.” “That makes me so sad. I’m meant to be famous,” Kim replied, one of the more obvious statements in show history. “I can’t handle it,” Kylie continued. “I care too much and I read too many things.” In the concluding scenes of the week, Khloé founds out that not only did Kris have a sit-down to chat with Blac Chyna and Rob… but so did Kylie! “Her and I were talking about Tyga a lot … I think we all need to be one big happy family” Kylie told Khloe about posing alongside her former bitter enemy . “Then I was like ‘we have to take a Snapchat.'” Kylie later confessed in her interview: “I feel a weight has lifted off both of our shoulders and I feel like that’s all we needed.” Keeping Up with the Kardashians airs Sundays at 9/8c on E!

There’s nothing quite as riveting as a new celebrity feud, but is Jessica Alba really on the outs with Drew Barrymore? It sure seems like these reports are coming from thin air. Both Jessica Alba and Drew Barrymore are successful women. They each have a string of hit movies, so this one was always a little odd and pretty unbelievable. According to Star, Jessica Alba was not about to let Drew Barrymore become competition, so she “flat-out refused to help.” It’s great to see celebrities branch out, but they don’t always have to be arguing to get further. There is such a thing as going too far and it seems that’s exactly what has happened here. It all sounds pretty crazy. They’re probably the least likely celebrities to become embroiled in a feud, so these “reports” do come as quite the shock. “Drew has done really well with her Flower Beauty brand and wants to expand,” and “with her recent divorce, she’s more focused than ever on her kids, Olive and Frankie, so she figured baby products were the way to go,” the source continued. It all sounds pretty innocent on Drew’s part. They can both be successful, so all of this is a bitter pill to swallow. The claims got crazier. “Jessica even scoffed at the idea that Drew’s company could hold a candle to hers.” “Drew was floored — she just wanted to pick Jessica’s brain about a few ideas and thought moms stick together.” That’s not a way to treat one of your best friends. There is such a thing as competition, but this just comes across as malicious. Sources confirmed to Gossip Cop that this DID NOT happen . There we have it. It never happened. Will they announce a joint business venture next? What do you think about all of this? Hit the comments below! View Slideshow: 14 of the Craziest Celebrity Twitter Feuds EVER

Maybe it’s the straight-faced recommendation that you purchase a $15,000 vibrator . Maybe it’s her contribution of the term ” conscious uncoupling ” to the Dictionary of New Age-y Hollywood Bullsh-t . Or maybe it’s just her smug insistence that she’s a self-made woman who cobbled a career together with no help from anyone – even though her father was a high-powered producer, her mother is a famous actress, and her godfather is Steven freakin’ Spielberg. Whatever the reason, people really, really, really don’t like Gwyneth Paltrow. To us, that’s about as mysterious as the fact that people prefer chocolate over kale chips, but apparently the Goopster herself is shocked – shocked ! – that the average American wouldn’t spit if she were on fire. Asked about the fact that she took the number one spot in a 2013 Star magazine “most hated celebrities” poll, Gwinnie griped that she was just being “authentic self” and totes grew up super poor, you guys. You almost have to admire her for non-ironically demonstrating the privileged lack of self-awareness that makes her so unlikable while expressing her confusion about why she’s so universally despised. This interview is like a performance art piece: “First of all I was like, ‘I’m the most hated celebrity?’ More than, like, Chris Brown? What did I do?” sayeth the mother of Apple, Moses and Hadron Collider. (We may have made that last one up.) “All I can do is be my authentic self, but I think there are things about me that make people draw conclusions. For example, there is the perception that I grew up very wealthy and that I was given, you know, that I was sort of raised with a silver spoon in my mouth, which inspires a lot of resentment.” We don’t even know what to say, so we’ll let this Kim Kardashian GIF do the talking: Seriously, though, it’s hilarious that Gwyneth blames the public’s perception of her on the fact that the plebes mistakenly believe she grew up with a Rolls Royce in her driveway, when really it was just four BMWs. If she just once dropped the BS and said, “Yeah, I grew up with privileges most people only dream about; I’m crazy pretentious at times, and I cheated on the food stamp challenge ,” maybe people wouldn’t rather spend a weekend locked in a closet with Kanye and a coked-up Charlie Sheen than sit through one of her movies. Come to think of it, does she still make movies? View Slideshow: 20 Douchiest Gwyneth Paltrow Quotes in Human History
If you haven’t heard, Kylie Jenner and Tyga have gotten back together … again. It’s tough to keep track of how many times we’ve written the statement above since the two first started dating more than a year ago when Kylie was just 17. But this last breakup seemed to be the final one, as many insiders insisted. Naturally, it didn’t last, and after about a month apart, Kyga was back, giving us all the creeps once again. While sources close to Kylie initially claimed the two were back together, but “taking things a lot slower,” their behavior in public and in social media tell a different story. Just a couple days ago, Kylie referred to Tyga as her “husband” on Snapchat and fans everywhere collectively shook their heads. So what’s the deal? Why’d they breakup? Why’d they make up? According to E! News, the two just had to take a break. View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner & Tyga Photos: The Way They Were … Are? (Who the Heck Knows) “They needed a reset,” a source told the site. “Ky is happy. She feels like she needed the time apart but it’s fate.” Spoken like a bona fide 18-year-old. We’ve all been there, right? Yet, as we get older and wiser we wish we could shake these kids and tell them there’s so much more out there. WAY more than Tyga. But we can’t. So we just have to sit here and observe until their toxic relationship eventually self-destructs or Tyga cuts his lip and bleeds to death in a freak accident involving his new diamond-encrusted grill.

Drake and Rihanna are dating again. The end. Just kidding. There’s a bit more to the story than that. Rumors of romance began swirling earlier this year when the two steamed up the screen with their mad chemistry in Rihanna’s “Work” video . But most of us chalked it up to thirsty publicists trying to create buzz around the track. Then we received reports that Rihanna and Drake were secretly dating for months and wanted to keep their relationship out of the public eye. And now it appears that the rumors were true. An insider tells E! News that the pair are definitely back on. In fact, the source reports that Drake has always wanted RiRi back, and she’s finally softened. View Slideshow: 14 Celebrity Couples Who Just Can’t Quit Each Other “He still loves her and never stopped,” claimed the insider. “Rihanna is the one that’s been not wanting to settle down in the past,” the source added. “They are having fun spending time with each other. Their music together got them close again.” The pair enjoyed a brief romance back in 2014, but it ended quickly because Drake was “too in love.” “He is too in love with her, which has always been the problem,” an insider dished. “They have been fighting, but that could change.” Hopefully their love in on equal footing these days and these crazy kids can have a real shot at happiness.
No matter how many posts we write about body-shaming and how much it sucks, some folks just don’t seem to get it. Texas mom Brynn Huffman was feeling pretty good about herself when she went out to run some errands the other day wearing a flowy white top and mid-thigh denim shorts. Huffman admitted it took a bit of courage to don the shorts. “My legs, while tan from swimming and muscular from dancing, are (1) not where I would like them to be and (2) are not up traditional beauty standards (read: Photoshopped) because cellulite,” she wrote in a Facebook post that has gone viral. Sounds like the thoughts of a great number of American woman, amiright? Unfortunately for Huffman and humanity as a whole, some jerk in line at the UPS store thought it appropriate to confirm the mom’s worst fears by making a snarky comment about her attire. Huffman says that after a pleasant exchange with the woman in front of her, she turned to the patron behind her and smiled. In exchange for the grin, the woman started with a compliment, as if trying to negate the unspeakable rudeness that would follow. “‘Your hair really is amazing.’ ::cocks head to side:: ‘You should probably rethink the shorts though,'” Huffman wrote of the woman’s response. And the most incredible part? The shamer wore a shirt that read “COEXIST.” Huffman said her face immediately turned red – not with embarrassment, but with rage. She then hurled back a zinger that couldn’t have been more perfect. “You should probably rethink your shirt.” Ooh, ya burnt! Yet even after the epic comeback, Huffman said the insult still made her want to go home and change her clothes, and that made her even more angry. The encounter inspired her to write the post, which has garnered more than 400,000 likes and 163,000 shares. She concluded with a message we hope all will consider before launching unsolicited criticism to strangers. “Listen, people. Especially women. “Plus sized doesn’t necessarily mean unhealthy. Plus sized doesn’t necessarily mean lazy. Plus sized doesn’t mean ugly or undesirable or untalented or uncoordinated or LESS. THAN. HUMAN. “You might have an issue with my body. I don’t. And I’ve worked very hard past judgmental family and friends, past divorce, past depression to NOT have an issue with my body. “Women. Do not tear each other down. Celebrate each other. Every day.” SLAY, sister.
Have you heard the good news? Kylie Jenner and Tyga are back together ! How do we know? Well, there’s been no official announcement, but the couple isn’t exactly being subtle about their reconciliation. First Tyga informed his Instagram followers that he and Kylie had make-up sex . (Always a classy move.) Shortly thereafter, Kyga was spotted making out at a luxury car dealership. (Again, these two ooze class.) Now there are rumors that Kylie and Tyga are living together in her new multi-million dollar mansion. Oh, and then there’s this latest nauseating development: Kylie Jenner References Tyga As Her “Husband” In Snapchat In case you just finished eating, and you’d like your food to stay where it belongs, the above video shows Kylie checking out some nail designs at an LA salon. The camera pauses on a tiger-print pair, and Kylie remarks, “This reminds me of my husband.” Yes, she referred to the dude as her husband. Certainly doesn’t sound like a girl who was making out with another rapper in a music video just last week, does it? It’s bad enough she’s talking about Tyga, but the word just sounds strange coming from an 18-year-old in 2016 who’s not a castmember on Teen Mom . Think about the crappy jobs and other day-to-day BS you had to cope with when you were 18. Now, imagine you’re Kylie Jenner: You have money and opportunities and connections that 99.99999999% of kids your age could only dream of. And you decide to throw it all away to settle down with a Z-list rapper who has repeatedly cheated on you. We’re guessing Kris Jenner snacks out a big bowl of Xanax like they’re popcorn.
