Taylor Swift Stuns the World, Endorses Two Democrats in Tennessee

She’s sorry, but the old Taylor Swift can’t come to the phone right now. Why? Because she’s busy knocking on doors and canvassing neighborhoods in Tennessee to make sure everyone is informed and registered to vote in the 2018 midterm elections. Indeed, the singer has broken from an often-criticized tradition and done more than merely dip a toe in political waters. She’s gone right ahead and jumped in with two feet. On Sunday evening, the beloved solo artist shared the photo above, along with a lengthy Instagram message that endorsed a pair of candidates in the November 6 election for various important offices. “In the past I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now,” Swift said to open her statement. She continued: “I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country. “I believe in the fight for LGBTQ rights, and that any form of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender is WRONG. “I believe that the systemic racism we still see in this country towards people of color is terrifying, sickening and prevalent.” In the eyes of many critics, Swift had come under fire many times in the past for never using her famous platform for the greatest good. While fellow superstars such as Beyonce had not only backed certain candidates, but given speeches and performances on their behalf, Swift had remained out of the political arena entirely. Some were especially appalled by this decision in 2016 when there was such a clear choice between a candidate who supported women’s rights (Hillary Clinton) and, well… Donald Trump . “I believe that the systemic racism we still see in this country towards people of color is terrifying, sickening and prevalent,” Taylor added in this new message. “I cannot vote for someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin color, gender or who they love.” Why is Swift speaking out now? Likely because Republican senators just confirmed Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court — despite one notable accusation of sexual assault against him, along with pretty clear temperment concerns. Perhaps with this in mind, Swift went on to specifically throw her support behind two candidates from her home state. “Running for Senate in the state of Tennessee is a woman named Marsha Blackburn. As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn. “Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me. “She voted against equal pay for women. She voted against the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which attempts to protect women from domestic violence, stalking, and date rape. She believes businesses have a right to refuse service to gay couples. She also believes they should not have the right to marry. “These are not MY Tennessee values.” In races that appear rather close and which could legitimately impact the country, Swift therefore announced the candidates who have her backing: “I will be voting for Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for House of Representatives. “Please, please educate yourself on the candidates running in your state and vote based on who most closely represents your values. For a lot of us, we may never find a candidate or party with whom we agree 100% on every issue, but we have to vote anyway.” As you might expect, taking a partisan side has elicited mixed reactions on Twitter. A handful of users are for the move: Others have scoffed at the move: (Editor’s Note: Since Kanye supposedly “ended” Swift by interrupting her speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, the two highest-grossing tours in the world belong to… Taylor Swift.) This, of course, is the danger of getting involved in politics: you may engender some serious opposition. But Swift must think it is worth the fight and the criticism in order to speak her mind and espouse her values. This is how Swift concluded her unexpected post: So many intelligent, thoughtful, self-possessed people have turned 18 in the past two years and now have the right and privilege to make their vote count. But first you need to register, which is quick and easy to do. October 9th is the LAST DAY to register to vote in the state of TN. Go to vote.org and you can find all the info. Happy Voting! We wish the very same to you, Taylor. View Slideshow: Taylor Swift Albums: The Definitive Countdown!

Kim Kardashian to Kourtney Kardashian: You F-cking Disgust Me!

Keeping Up with the Kardashians took Kim and Kourtney to Japan on Sunday night. And the sisters brought with them many suitcases, changes of outfits… and lots of hard feelings. The installment centered on Kim planning a trip to Tokyo to shoot a Yeezy campaign on behalf of her husband’s fashion brand. “I love working with Kanye in that way because he will listen to me on things that are important to me, and I’ll trust him on colors and fabrics,” she said of the endeavor, adding: “I only have a few days to get 20 looks shot. “Japan is the campaign – we can’t recreate it. There are dozens of people working on this, so it is a lot of pressure. “It’s my husband’s collection and I want to make sure that I do a good job and that he likes how everything turns out.” This was the epitome of a First World Problem , but whatever, right? It was a fair concern for Kim at the time, given the circumstances. However, Kim decided to mix the personal with the professional by inviting Khloe and Kourtney along for the vacation. Why would she do so, considering the tension that has existed between all three siblings throughout Season 15? Probably because the script called for it, but maybe also to bury the hatchet. All it took was one evening out, though, for the tension to return — which is what happens when one sister simply can’t handle what her loved one is wearing. “I can’t even eat dinner because I’m so disgusted with my sisters’ crazy outfits that completely don’t go with my look,” Kim told the camera. “Like, I can’t take it.” No, really, she could. Not. Even. Take. It. “My sisters look so crazy,” Kim continued. “It’s actually embarrassing. Kourtney with the Japanese-inspired outfit, and Khloé is wearing silver sequins, turquoise eyeshadow, huge chandelier earrings – they’re just like, completely clashing and making my outfit look really bad and they’re ruining everything. “I need the Yeezy collection to be debuted and not all this crazy distraction in the background.” Seriously, Khloe and Kourtney: How did you not consider the effect your fashion taste would have on Kim’s career?!? Kim didn’t keep her feelings to herself, either. She sat down with her siblings, told them they looked like “f-cking clowns” and continued to berate them as follows: “I’m not kidding. This is not like, a tourist thing where it’s Halloween, dress up like a f-cking Japanese geisha, unless we’re at a geisha house. “I just think you’ve got to like, chill. Like, you can be cooler. I’m not telling you guys who to be and what to wear or anything, but I’m telling you who to be and what to wear. “It could be time for a fashion overhaul, so that you stay young and relevant.” At another point, she told Kourtney she looked “like a f-cking grandma, 100 percent.” After being informed that she doesn’t come across as “special” or “innovative,” Kourtney at last snapped and replied in a confessional: “Now I think Kim’s just being rude, and rude to everyone in glam. “We’re all doing fun looks together and it’s not that serious. I think Kim and I don’t always see eye-to-eye as far of the importance of traveling and living in the moment. … “I have three children and a full-time job. I don’t have seven stylists.” View Slideshow: Keeping Up with the Kardashians: 14 Shocking Secrets Revealed! Kim defended her actions, saying she didn’t have time to “beat around the bush” while on location for a Yeezy campaign, while Kourtney countered that she just wanted to have some “fun.” “Nobody wants to wake up and be criticized from head-to-toe the whole day long,” she sighed, finally lashing out as Kim for real: “Would you rather me f-cking say your f-cking outfits suck? You’re wearing a puffy vest, you have pink hair and turquoise shoes. “I didn’t come here to wear leggings that are see-through and show my ass off. Do you know easy it is to a bitch? I could be a bitch all f-cking day if that’s what you want. “But guess what? It takes a lot more courage to show your feelings than to sit there and be a bitch.” Okay, fine, Kim relented toward the end of the episode. She said she takes pride in being “honest,” but that the “delivery” of her message may have been off. But, hey, it was all worthwhile in the end! “It was a lot of work but we did it, and with how amazing and pretty this city is, this campaign is going to be super dope,” she concluded. “Kanye is so happy with how the shoot turned out and I feel like it was a really good trip for us overall.”

Cristy Caserta, Former Bachelor Suitor, Dead at 38

Cristy Caserta, a woman who vied for the heart of Brad Womack on The Bachelor Season 15, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday after suffering an apparent seizure. She was 38 years old. According to law enforcement officials, per TMZ, Caserta was attending a class at a school in Sunrise, Florida when she suddenly fell forward at the desk where she was sitting. Her alarmed classmates quickly dialed 911. Tragically, however, Caserta went into cardiac arrest as the paramedics arrived and administered CPR. She was transported to nearby Westside Regional Medical Center … where they continued efforts to save her, but it was too late. She was pronounced dead not long after her arrival. The police have said they don’t suspect foul play and that no drugs were found in Caserta’s system. An autopsy will be performed Friday to determine the official cause of death. This is what the Sunrise Police Department in Florida said about Caserta, who worked as an attorney: “The students around her noticed her coffee fell to the ground and thought maybe she fell asleep, but she was unresponsive when they approached her. “They called 911, and Fire Rescue showed up and started CPR and she was still unresponsive.” As mentioned above, Caserta was featured on Womack’s second season as The Bachelor. She was sent home during the first week. Stephen Carbone, the blogger behind the Bachelor spoilers site Reality Steve, paid tribute to Caserta on Thursday night, writing: “Sick to my stomach to see that Cristy Caserta from Brad Womack’s 2nd season has suddenly passed away. “Cristy was always there to give me legal advice in the past. I’m at a loss after seeing people post on her FB. Just spoke a couple weeks ago. RIP my friend.” In January, Caserta started a job working as a corporate lawyer for a healthcare staffing agency in Sunrise. She had worked as a lawyer at a different company during her time on The Bachelor and was granted leave to appear on the series. View Slideshow: The Most Shocking Reality Star Deaths: Gone, But Not Forgotten Womack, who previously anchored The Bachelor Season 11 in 2007, is pictured above. He ended up proposing to Emily Maynard, but they broke up a few months after the finale. Neither Brad nor anyone associated with the show has commented yet on Caserta’s death. May she rest in peace.

Amy Schumer: Arrested for Protest of Brett Kavanaugh

Amy Schumer did a lot more than just talk the talk in Washington, D.C. on Thursday. Or yell the yell, as the case may have been. The comedian, along with a handful of others, got detained and seemingly arrested while protesting the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh for one of nine seats on the U.S. Supreme Court. In a video that is making its way around the Internet, the 37-year-old is being led by a police officer toward a large group of protestors that were also being held while at the Hart Senate Office Building on Thursday. “You want to be arrested?” a cops asks Schumer and another woman as he points in the direction of a bigger group that is chanting with officers surrounding them. “Yes,” she replied. As you can see below, Schumer was wearing a green button-down shirt that read “This Today then #ERA” while attending the political event. Emily Ratajkowski was also arrested on Thursday, although we actually are not certain why just yet. Probably for disturbing the peace or trespassing. The mass protests in the nation’s capital this week were in reaction to the FBI concluding its investigation, which was launched after Dr. Christine Blasey Ford testified last week about her sexual misconduct allegation against Kavanaugh. Many familiar with the investigation believe it was severely limited in scope, as neither Kavanaugh nor Ford were interviewed by authorities. Neither were many witnesses who tried to contact the FBI in order to support Kavanaugh’s version of events. (She alleges that Kavanaugh held her down on a bed and tried to rape her during a small gathering in high school.) Tweeted Ratajkowski shortly her arrest: “Men who hurt women can no longer be placed in positions of power.” It’s seeming more and more likely, however, that such a statement will not hold true in the case of Kavanaugh, who is expected to be confirmed to the highest court in the land this weekend. Schumer also carried a sign that read throughout her protest that read “We Believe Anita Hill,” a reference to the woman who accused now-Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment in 1991. In a Twitter video shared by Young People For, Schumer can be seen giving a speech to those gathered in support of Kavanaugh and sexual assault victims everywhere. “Let’s stay together, let’s fight. Let’s keep showing up!” the star said to people cheering. Three women have come out and alleged that Kavanaugh acted in a very inappropriate manner with them, from Ford’s accusation of assault … to another woman claiming he pulled out his penis directly in front of her face… to another woman saying Kavanaugh was present while she was gang raped . As mentioned above, the protests took place as senators are preparing to submit their votes on Kavanaugh’s confirmation to Supreme Court justice. An initial vote of the Senate is scheduled for Friday, and a final vote will come over the weekend, according to USA Today and other reliable outlets.

Johnny Depp: Amber Heard Beat the Sh-t Out of Me!

When Johnny Depp and Amber Heard finalized their divorce back in January of 2017, the actors signed a nondisclosure agreement that prevented them from speaking to the press about their marriage. Sources say both parties considered it the best path forward, as it would enable them to focus on their careers and avoid public conjecture about their personal lives. But unquestionably, no one benefited as much from the arrangement as Depp. Heard had accused Depp of abuse , and photos of the injuries she allegedly sustained at his hands stunned the internet. In the current climate of Hollywood, it seems very likely that if we knew all of the details of Depp’s behavior toward Heard in the final months of their marriage, he would never work again. And that’s a large part of why those details were supposed to be forever buried by that NDA. Which is why it’s so bizarre that Depp continues to make counter-claims against Heard, thus dragging the whole messy situation back out into the open. Back in June, he hinted at being unfairly denigrated by Heard in a bizarre, rambling Rolling Stone interview. And this week, Depp spoke with British GQ and claimed it’s not possible that he could have been physically abusive toward Heard, as he’s not that “dumb.” “To harm someone you love? As a kind of bully? No, it didn’t, it couldn’t even sound like me,” Depp told the magazine. Lawyers for Heard promptly issued a statement accusing Depp of continued psychological abuse: “Mr. Depp is shamefully continuing his psychological abuse of Ms. Heard, who has attempted to put a very painful part of her life firmly in her past,” their statement reads. “One need only look at the physical evidence to draw the proper conclusion.” Depp’s attorneys quickly shot back with a statement of their own, claiming that they’ll soon reveal in a London courtroom that Heard was violent toward Depp on multiple occasions: “In UK court proceedings next month, we will be submitting clear evidence of the violence committed serially against him by Ms. Heard and the serious injuries that he suffered,” Depp’s lawyer Adam Waldman said in a statement released on Wednesday night. “We will also submit overwhelming evidence that Ms. Heard faked the abuse allegations against Mr. Depp.” This is not the first time that Depp has claimed he was physically abused by Heard. The actor previously claimed Heard punched him in the face in front of multiple witnesses after flying into a rage because he was late to a party. He also says Heard defecated on his bed as an act of revenge. Again, we’re baffled as to why Johnny would air all this dirty laundry in public. But we’re guessing those closest to both Depp and Heard wish they would simply cut ties with one another for good.

Katy Perry: ENGAGED to Orlando Bloom?!

You may have been aware Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom broke up back in March of 2017.  But did you know they got back together in January of this year? If you were in the dark on that one, you’re certainly not alone. Their second time around, Katy and Orlando agreed to keep things much more low key. But just because they’re not shouting their love from the rooftop, that doesn’t mean they’re not seriously invested in this relationship. In fact, it seems that Perry and Bloom may be on the verge of taking a major step forward together. According to a new report from Us Weekly , Katy and Orlando are planning to get engaged sometime in the very near future. “Katy and Orlando have worked out all their kinks and have had really fluid communication about what each of them wants,”  the insider explains .   “Katy doesn’t want this relationship to be a repeat cycle of things she’s already experienced in past relationships that didn’t work out,” the source adds. “She’s learned to grow from them and doesn’t want that in her current relationship.” Yes, it sounds as though Katy and Orlando have both learned a great deal from their previous high-profile relationships. “They really try to communicate well and spend as much time together as possible,” the source claims. “Obviously, they’re both very busy, but they prioritize communicating and working their schedules around each other,” the insider adds. “They are very much in love, so an engagement wouldn’t be a surprise.” These comments sound suspiciously as though they originated with Katy’s reps, which leads us to believe there’s some legitimacy to these rumors. We’re sure this pseudo-announcement will lead to another round of rumors that Perry is pregnant with Bloom’s baby , but we’re not willing to take it quite that far yet. Even if the singer is expecting, it’ll likely be quite some time before she makes the news official. After all, the same reps that are spreading the word about her possible engagement can be quite adept at keeping things secret when they want to.

Justin Bieber: MAKING Hailey Baldwin Have a Boring Bachelorette Party?

Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin are engaged and they’ve been piling on the PDA as they race to the altar. Unlike their public outings, however, it sounds like Hailey’s bachelorette party plans are going to be decidedly less wild and steamy. Is Justin the one insisting that Hailey tone down her last night as an umarried woman? Life & Style reports that Hailey Baldwin’s bachelorette party is going to be a pretty tame affair despite the celebrity guests. Hailey and her guests “will play games about the groom,” their insider reports. She and the likes of Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner will do that “and take tons of pictures in a photo booth,” the source describes. “Hailey and Justin want it to be a classy and fun-filled celebration,” the insider explains. In other words, there are some things that Hailey will not be doing. Allegedly, it’s Justin who insists that the event be dialed down a little. “So,” the source continues. “What you won’t see are any of the girls wearing wedding veils and playing beer pong,” And they certainly won’t be “getting a five-minute lap dance from complete strangers,” the insider says. (We get the feeling that they won’t be getting lapdances from close friends, either) The source says that there will be no wild antics “or doing any of the other things young brides usually do.” It sounds like a very PG-13 affair. Now, this is pretty believable, even though most wouldn’t considering beer pong to be especially out-of-control. Hailey may be a young, hot model, but she’s also a pretty hardcore Christian. That is one of the things that she and Justin have in common. You know, aside from fame and terrible dads. A lot of their “dates” have been to attend Hillsong Church together. Maybe this super-tame bachelorette was Hailey’s idea. But … maybe it’s true that this is at Justin’s insistence. We should also acknowledge something else. This recent photo of Justin looking very nurturing had an interesting caption. Justin’s formerly deadbeat dad, Jeremy Bieber, wrote: “To be Father.” This led some to believe that the man was hinting that Justin and Hailey have their own bun in the oven . If so, the insistence on a low-key bachelorette party could simply be a cover for why a secretly preggo Hailey might avoid alcohol. If Justin’s the one laying down the law in this respect, it sounds … very hypocritical. It seems that he doesn’t trust Hailey and that he might be a little controlling. But more to the point, he’s done all of this stuff. This is the guy whose own manager was worried that he’d die from his substance abuse issues just a couple of years ago. And the guy worried about his fiancee getting a lapdance has reportedly slept with sex workers while touring in different countries. This isn’t the first time that we’ve seen signs that Justin might be a little jealous or even controlling. Remember Hailey’s close personal friendship with the oh-so-desirable Shawn Mendes? Hold on to that memory, because Hailey purged every photo of Shawn from her entire Instagram account . The two of them went to the Met Gala together earlier this year. Now, from her IG, you’d think they’d never even met. Shawn is a Canadian singer and heartthrob. He’s younger and hotter than the Biebs. Did Justin demand that Hailey do that out of jealousy? There is just so much here that we don’t know. There is so much here that we cannot know, really. If Hailey wants her bachelorette party to just be having a nice dinner and then playing scrabble with some of the (other) hottest models on the planet, that’s fine. Not every bachelorette party needs a stripper or a sexy pillowfight or a human sacrifice. We just hope that it’s her choice — and that Justin respects her enough to make his own party toned down to match. Surely the Biebs has sown enough wild oats for a dozen lifetimes.

Chris Lopez: I Don’t Hate Kailyn Lowry Anymore!

The relationship between Kailyn Lowry and Chris Lopez has seen more than its fair share of ups and downs. Beginning when Lopez dumped Lowry while she was pregnant , Teen Mom 2 obsessives have been fixated on Lux’s parents — which is interesting, as Chris doesn’t even appear on the show. Still, Kail’s comments and her social media interactions with Lopez have offered plenty of grist for the gossip mill. Kail has called Chris a deadbeat dad and accused him of misleading his Instagram followers by posting pics in which it looks as though he’s a part of Lux’s life. For his part, Lopez has accused Lowry of lying to her fans and intentionally misrepresenting him for the sake of creating TV-friendly drama. Yes, at one point, it was a very ugly situation, but remarkably, Kail and Chris have managed to turn their co-parenting relationship around. They may not be besties, but they recently stunned fans when they cordially collaborated on Lux’s first birthday party. Earlier this week, Chris shocked TM2 aficionados once again when he took to Twitter to promote Kail’s latest memoir. “Grab a copy of A Letter of Love if you haven’t, I tried to act like I didn’t want to read it…but I did lol,” Lopez tweeted. “And even though it’s things about me I may not agree with, overall proud of her! [I don’t know] [about] y’all but I don’t know many people that have 4 published books lol.” The man has a point. Unless you used to hit the dive bars of Maine with a young Stephen King, you’ve probably never spent any time with a 26-year-old who’s penned multiple bestsellers. And Chris deserves a good deal of credit for promoting his ex’s latest, because he doesn’t always come off as the greatest guy in this book. “I’ve had my bedroom window broken while the baby was asleep with me in the room,” Lowry writes of a dark time that occurred after one of her many breakups with Lopez. “My back door had been broken while all of my kids were at home, and I’ve had s**t about me told to my children.” Hard to come back from something like that, but it looks like Kail and Chris are doing their best. (As a reminder of how bad things once were, the pic above shows Chris burning a copy of one of Kail’s books.) Of course, this situation will likely lead to more rumors that Lopez and Lowry are back together , but we doubt either of them are too bothered by that. After all, that kind of talk makes for good TV. View Slideshow: Kailyn Lowry: I’m Still in Love With Chris Lopez, I Think! Maybe!

Johnny Depp: There’s No Way I Could Have Abused Amber Heard!

There was a time — not all that long ago, in fact — when people actually looked forward to the promotional tours that preceded the release of Johnny Depp’s big-budget studio films. Depp was Hollywood’s most charming oddball, and fans loved the idea of the notoriously press-shy actor being lured away from much cooler pursuits — presumably smoking opium with Keith Richards or something — to provide a sharp contrast to the sunny demeanor of some bubbly morning show host. But a whole lot has changed since the days when Depp used to mumble his way through pre-taped interviews with Matt Lauer. And needless to say, it’s all been bad. Over the past few years, the once-beloved actor’s reputation has taken one hit after another. Last year,  Depp sued his management team , and the bizarre court battle that ensued painted a picture of a drug-addled egomaniac who’s prone to bullying and endangering the less powerful for the sake of his own amusement. In June,  Rolling Stone published an interview with Depp that seemed to confirm suspicions that years of heavy substance abuse and a number of toxic personality traits had caused the 55-year-old to transform into a sort of sad self-parody. But nothing did more damage to Depp’s public image than his ugly divorce from Amber Heard . Heard accused Depp of savagely beating her, and secretly recorded video (below) showed a heavily-intoxicated Depp berating his then-wife. Most actors would have embarked on an apology tour after something like that, but Depp maintained his innocence, and in a shocking new interview with British GQ , he’s doubling down and once again claiming that Heard is the real bully: Johnny Depp Goes OFF on Amber Heard, Breaks Wine Bottle & Glass in Shocking Video Asked point-blank if he ever hit abused Heard, Depp had this to say: “To harm someone you love? As a kind of bully? No, it didn’t, it couldn’t even sound like me. “So, initially, I just kept my mouth shut, you know? I knew it was going to stick on me and it would get weirder. Keep going, you know? Go nuts. I ain’t going to get into a pissing contest with someone about it. “Spit out what you need to spit out and, you know, my attorneys will take care of the rest. I never went out and spoke about the sh-t.” Yes, it seems that in the classic fashion of Hollywood egomaniacs throughout history, Depp believed his attorneys would make the whole mess go away. He went on to offer up one of those “well, why didn’t she report it sooner?” arguments that we’ve been hearing entirely too much of lately: “Why didn’t that person speak to the police? I mean, they spoke to the police, but the police saw nothing and they offered her an emergency medical technician,” Depp said. “She said no. Police see nothing on her. Police see nothing broken in the place, no marks, and then they offer her an EMT to have a look at her and she says no and I don’t know if it was the next day or a couple of days later, but then there was a bruise,” he added. “There was a red mark and then there was a brown bruise…. She was at a party the next day. Her eye wasn’t closed. She had her hair over her eye, but you could see the eye wasn’t shut.” Depp concluded his comments on Heard by stating that it would be “stupid” to hit her, and adding: “I might look stupid, but I ain’t f–king stupid.” We’re not sure about that, Johnny … you’re certainly sounding awfully stupid these days.
