Khloe Kardashian 's book, Strong Looks Better Naked , is inspiring people everywhere. This is exactly what the author intended, after being called the “fat sister” by internet trolls for so long. “It's so funny because I didn't think I was that sister,” Khloe told Maria Menounos at The Grove on November 9th. “I didn't think I was the fat sister until people would call me that. “And I was like, ‘Am I?' Like I just didn't really think of myself as being fat. Kardashian took a break from looking after estranged husband, Lamar Odom to sign books for fans at the shopping center's Barnes & Noble. The reality star, who lost 35 pounds thanks to a commitment to a healthier lifestyle, never saw herself as fat. “It did make me strong for sure and being able to endure that stuff but it also makes me realize how like f–ked up people are,” Khloe told Menounos. “How judgmental and how people's words can hurt other people and what affect it does have on them. I understand why some people succumb to eating disorders or just the peer pressure, I do get that. “But I'm proud of myself that I didn't and I'm able to walk away and actually say it made me stronger.” Watch the video to find out what else Kardashian said.

The father featured in the following video has clearly raised his daughter very well. Either that, or he's raised her really, really, really horribly. It's one or the other. In one of the funnier pieces of footage we've seen in awhile, a dad is spying on his two-and-a-half year old daughter via your basic baby monitor. But what he hears and sees is anything but basic: It's his little girl, having recently been introduced to the Star Wars franchise, showing off her affection for Darth Vader. By singing along to the Imperial March! HA! We love it! It sure sounds as if this toddler will make an adorable Sith one day, much to her dad's chagrin and/or excitement, we'd imagine. It's unclear which. Check out the video, prepare to laugh out loud and then take note of other recent Star Wars-related stories in the news: Daniel Fleetwood , a long-time Star Wars fan who got to see The Force Awakens early due to his terminal illness, passed away. Anna Kendrick made us fall in love with her even more than we thought previously possible by appearing in a commercial for Star Wars: Battlefront . An international trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens revealed new footage, which continues to have the Internet in a frenzy. Those are all well, good and interesting. We recommend clicking on all the links above and checking out all of those stories. But this is a very young girl getting totally into the Imperial March prior to falling asleep. It wins.
By know, it’s common knowledge that Kris Jenner , 60, is dating Corey Gamble , who turns 35 today. What comes as a surprise is how comfortable Jenner’s children are around mom’s new boyfriend. So comfortable that her oldest, Kourtney Kardashian posted an Instagram of Gamble with two of her three children, Penelope and Mason Disick . “Happy Birthday @coreygamble !,” Kardashian wrote. “A grandpa never looked so good.” At the risk of sounding like a sh**-stirrer, either Kardashian being a jokester and poking fun at Jenner and Gamble’s age difference, or she has welcomed Gamble into her children’s lives as a grandfather figure. I will leave it at that and speculate no further, even if I suspect this is a dig at Caitlyn Jenner. I think the joke might be on moi for reading too much into this caption. Khloe Kardashian grilled Gamble about his intentions on a recent episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians . “It’s not even the age factor, it’s just the connection,” Gamble told her Gamble and Jenner met at Givenchy creative director Riccardo Tisci’s 40th birthday party in Ibiza in August 2014. The momager had her own message for the birthday boy: “Happy Birthday to this amazing man @coreygamble !” Jenner posted to Instagram. “I love you baby I hope you have a magical year!!!!!”
Oprah Winfrey has validated the Kardashians . Winfrey, like many of us, is all about hard work and sacrifice in order to reach your goals (also, THE SECRET). Australian radio hosts Kyle and Jackie O rang up Oprah for a bit of a chat, and they brought up Rebel Wilson ‘s recent comments about the Kardashians having no talent. Wilson claimed that she earned her fame the hard way, and the Kardashians owe their success to a sex tap. “It’s not that I hate any of them individually, but it’s just that everything they stand for is against everything I stand for,” Wilson explained. “And they’re not famous for talent. I worked really hard to get where I’ve gotten to.” Not true, according to Winfrey. “People don’t understand that, people think, ‘Oh, if a television camera’s just following you, then that’s just easy,'” Winfrey, who interviewed the family two years ago, said. “To really create a reality series that looks like something’s actually happening, it means you have to be on all the time.” Winfrey noted that after a full seven hours of taping interviews, they still had another 7 hours of filming to do for Keeping Up With The Kardashians . “No matter who you are, that is work,” Winfrey said.

While Jenelle Evans was getting her romance on in St. Thomas with David Eason , her ex-fiance, Nathan Griffith was freaking TFO over their son, Kaiser. According to Radar , Griffin didn’t know that Evans would be out of the country without their son. He called CPS and the police on his ex, a source told the site. Kaiser was actually staying with a friend of Evans, and both agencies gave Griffith and Evans the green light to carry on with their lives. “They checked on Kaiser and both CPS and the cops said everything is fine,” the insider told the celebrity news website.. “They were like, ‘Oh sorry, we had no idea!'” the source said. “They just saw that Kaiser was okay and then they left.” Nathan Griffith Reams Jenelle Evans Out in Leaked Voicemail! CPS did get in touch with Evans in St. Thomas to discuss the call. Reportedly, they told her “that they would talk to her when she gets back and that’s all, but that everything looked okay and everything was fine.” This isn’t the first custody issue the exes have faced; another insider claims that Griffith took Kaiser to Boston for a weekend and “no one told Jenelle.” When she did find out, Evans – who has full custody of Kaiser – “told Nathan that if he wants to see Kai, he can take her to court for visitation.” This likely prompted Griffith to blow the whistle on his baby mama, and chances are we haven’t seen the last of this saga by a long shot.

A horde of people protested NBC for its decision to have Donald Trump host Saturday Night Live. This is the same network, after all, who essentially fired the Presidential hopeful from The Apprentice after inflammatory comments he made about Mexicans. (Which preceded inflammatory comments he made about women…. and then Muslims …) Politics, sexism and racism aside, however, one crucial question remained heading into this weekend: Could Donald Trump actually be funny? He began his attempt via a monologue, one in which he continually mixed up Aidy Bryant for long-time nemesis Rosie O'Donnell. He was also flanked at one point by Taran Killam, who parodies him now on the sketch comedy series; and by Darrell Hammond, who portrayed him in the past on SNL. At one point, a heckler screamed “You’re a racist!” at Trump, only for the cameras to cut away backstage, where Larry Davis (who resurrected his amazing impression of Bernie Sanders on the episode) admitted he just made $5,000 for that accusation. So, how did Trump do overall? He didn't strike out during the monologue, but he didn't really try to hit a home run, either, which is a it surprising knowing the (awful) man. Check out the video below and sound off on Trump as Saturday Night Live host yourself. Did NBC make a mistake in bringing him on board? Is all controversy good controversy? Is it SNL's job to serve as Ethics Police? Or merely to aim for the highest-rated episodes it can? A debate over such issues would likely be more entertaining than this Donald Trump monlogue. Watch it and grade it now:
All aboard the crazy train! Sides were chosen on The Vampire Diaries Season 7 Episode 5 , as multiple truths came to light and the Salvatore brothers once again found themselves aligned for a common cause: Watch The Vampire Diaries Season 7 Episode 5 Online The cold, brutal, violent, painful death of Julian. We learned this week that The Phoenix Stone does not, in actuality, bring anyone back from the dead. On the contrary, it fills a corpse with the spirit of a dark vampire who had been stuck in said Stone; meaning Oscar was not Oscar and Jo was not Jo. Bonnie broke this sad news to Alaric, who fought back tears in front of Non-Jo and agreed to help her discover who actual identity. She seems lost and lonely and confused in this news world, though it’s unclear if that’s some kind of act or really what is going on with the creature who inhabits who formerly pregnant and stabbed body. Non-Oscar, meanwhile, met his demise at the hands of Enzo, who confronted Lily with everything he knew. Lily responded with a full understanding of how the Stone works, telling Enzo she chooses it (and, by extension, Julian) over him because Julian’s spirit is actually one of the ones stuck in that nefarious rock. If used properly, she really can bring Julian back from the dead with it… and that’s how we concluded the episode, with Nora and Mary Louise helping Lily use the Stone to match locked-up spirit with its true body. View Slideshow: 15 Best Shows in CW History: Ranked! So Julian is now alive again, but Damon and Stefan will both be looking to kill him very dead on The Vampire Diaries Season 7 Episode 6 , each for a different reason: Damon discovered that Lily was the one who told Kai to enact that whole sleeping curse on Elena. Valerie came clean to Stefan about what Julian did to her, beating the baby she shared out of her womb all those years ago. What will that latter admission mean for the future of Staroline? We shudder to think In Flash Forward World, Bonnie confessed to a support group that she made a mistake a long time ago and “lost” someone she loved as a result. Who might that be?!? As you ponder those possibilities, ponder this as well: three years in the future, we also saw Enzo meet up with Bonnie inside some kind of rehab center, tell her things are pretty bad outside… and then totally make out with her! WHAT THE WHAT? Check out scenes from next week’s installment and go watch The Vampire Diaries online if you need to catch up before then. The Vampire Diaries Season 7 Episode 6 Teaser
Move over, Donald Trump . Ben Carson is here to prove that you may not be the craziest candidate in the field of 2016 Presidential nominees. The Republican hopeful, who is now leading many national polls among the GOP, has released a new 60-second campaign ad… which comes in the form of a rap song. Seriously. According to ABC News, the $150,000 radio ad buy (titled “Freedom”) will air for two weeks in Miami, Atlanta, Houston, Detroit, Birmingham, Alabama, Jackson, Mississippi, Memphis, Tennessee and Little Rock, Arkansas. The spot is meant to appeal to young African-America votes, featuring rapper Aspiring Mogul on the main vocals. But his spit-out verses are interspersed with portions of Carson’s stump speech. “America became a great nation early on not because it was flooded with politicians but because it was flooded with people who understood the value of personal responsibility, hard work, innovation and that’s what will get us on the right track now,” Carson says between Mogul’s rap. He later adds: “I’m very hopeful that I'm not the only one that’s willing to pick up the baton to freedom. “Because freedom is not free and we must fight for it every day. Every one of us must fight for us because we are fighting for our children and the next generation.” The aim of the this commercial ad is to motivate the urban market, with Carson believing he can take down Hillary Clinton is he wins 20 percent of the black vote next year. “Reaching them on a level they appreciate and follow and see if we can attract their consciousness about the election,” Carson campaign spokesman Doug Watts told ABC News. “They need to get involved and express their voice through their vote.” This is a real campaign ad. We are not making it up.
We apologize, Carson Daly. And consider yourself warned: you may not want to hear about them , but we’re about to talk more about Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton… The pop star herself released a statement on Wednesday afternoon, confirming she is officially dating Shelton and has been for a little while now. “Gwen and Blake are longtime friends who have very recently started dating,” a rep for the female artist said. But what, exactly, does this mean? How serious are things between The Voice panelists? Are they having sex? Probably. Stefani recently called Shelton hot , implying that she’s possibly seen him naked. Meanwhile, here are two new pieces of information we’ve learned since Stefani and Shelton outed themselves as a couple: They’ve written a country song together . According to a People Magazine insider, the track has yet to be cut, but it centers on telling a lover to leave the relationship if that is what he or sge truly wants. Shelton and Stefani visited the former’s home state of Oklahoma . The trip took place a few weeks ago, on October 26, and that’s when the above selfie was snapped Before you think this means Shelton and Stefani have been knocking proverbial boots for longer than they’ve let on, consider this twist: Adam Levine joined them for this trip. It may not have been romantic in nature. But the singers were spotted at a Country Music Awards after-party late Wednesday night. Cameras captured Blake and Gwen holding hands (!!!!) while entering the Warner Brothers party held at Warner Brothers Music in Music Square, Nashville around 12:15 a.m. What does all this mean? Only very positive things, according to Shelton himself . “Awesome night tonight. So many great things happening in my life,” he Tweeted after the CMAs. We’re very sorry, Miranda Lambert. But we might as well fit Stefani for an engagement ring at this point. View Slideshow: 25 Most Shocking Hollywood Divorces
