Kylie Jenner: Low-Rated Reality Show Renewed Due to Billionaire Status?

There are perks to being a billionaire that go well beyond having more money than you could ever spend in three lifetimes. For evidence of this, look no further than Elon Musk, who’s basically transforming into a cartoonish supervillain before our eyes, yet still has millions of fanboys hoping he’ll launch another car into space for fun. Fortunately, as far as we can tell, Kylie Jenner doesn’t have anything so nefarious as global domination on her agenda. But that might just be because she hasn’t officially joined the ultra-exclusive Billionaires Club … yet. As you may have heard Kylie covers the new issue of Forbes , and the magazine reports that at the rate her cosmetics brand is currently growing, the youngest Jenner sister will be worth a cool billion next year at the ripe old age of 21. That would make her the youngest “self-made” billionaire in history. (A lot of folks have taken issue with  Forbes  failure to address the fact that Kylie had a lot of help reaching that milestone, but that’s a conversation for another time.) Currently, Kylie’s makeup brand is worth about $800 billion and she’s raked in about $100 million from other ventures. Needless to say, everything’s coming up Kylie these days, and her astonishing financial interests have revived interest in Kylie’s life and career. Kylie disappeared from social media while she was pregnant with daughter Stormi but now she’s back and bigger than ever. And for obvious reasons, everyone wants to be in the Kylie Jenner business nowadays. You may have forgotten about the Keeping Up With the Kardashians spinoff entitled Life of Kylie that debuted on E! last year. We say because pretty no one watched the thing. The ratings for Kylie’s reality show were astonishingly low, and it was widely assumed that the series had been quietly canceled. But in the wake of Kylie’s astonishing personal and professional success, E! has reportedly decided to give the series a second chance. “The footage for the second season of Life of Kylie is all pretty much shot. It will follow her life after the birth of her daughter Stormi,” a source tells Radar Online. “Fans are really interested in seeing Kylie as a mom to Stormi, and they are also really interested in seeing how she made such a massive fortune in such a short period of time.” Yes, it seems that the public perception of Kylie has changed dramatically in recent weeks, and her reputation has enjoyed a major rebound. “She is now a role model to so many women out there who think they cannot raise a baby and have a successful career,” says the insider. The salary from starring and executive producing a second season might help Kylie to reach her new goal: Apparently, she wants to reach the billion-dollar mark before her 21st birthday next month. “Cameras will absolutely be filming for her celebration,” the source revealed. “Right now, Kylie is just determined to hit the billion-dollar mark in one month and she isn’t letting anything stand in her way.” Fans have jokingly set up GoFundMe pages in order to raise $100 million for Kylie, but we’re thinking hitting the mark in the next few weeks is a major long shot. Even so, we can’t think of a more worthy cause, so you should absolutely go to one of those pages and donate your entire life’s savings to Kylie.

Little People, Big World: When Is It Coming Back?

When Jeremy and Audrey Roloff announced that they were quitting Little People, Big World , some fans feared that Tori and Zach Roloff would quit, too . The first piece of good news is that they’re not. Auj and Jer may be leaving, but most of their family is sticking with the show. The second piece of good news is that we now know when the series is returning. This season of Little People, Big World has come to a close. But, while discussing her son Jeremy and his wife Audrey’s departure from the series, family matriarch Amy Roloff dished on when fans can look forward to seeing the next season. “Season 14 is being filmed right now,” Amy reveals. Remember, it can take days to film even one episode of a reality show. Amy then says that she expects that Season 14 “will air late this season or spring.” We think that, by “season,” she meant to say year . Of course, we already knew that they were filming again. Tori Roloff has made sure that fans are aware that the cameras and producers are on Roloff Farms, following the family members who are still part of the show. Tori shared multiple behind-the-scenes glimpses at her and her husband, back at work filming for Little People, Big World . When a couple of a show’s stars announce that they’re moving on to different pastures, it’s important for remaining cast members to reassure fans that the show will continue. Nothing does that better than photographic evidence. They’re something about pictures that just feels realer to your average fan than any verbal assurances ever could. Viewers will still get to see a lot, even with the remaining Roloffs. For starters, baby Jackson Roloff will have plenty more milestones in the coming months which, we hope, will be captured on film and shared on the show. (Also, baby Jackson was recently injured while practicing walking. Poor little guy. He’s only 13 months old) We’ve seen so much of Jackson on social media, including his process of learning to swim. We can’t wait to see more of Jackson (and of course, his parents and grandparents) in Season 14! It’s not like not appearing on the show is the end of the world. As with Jacob Roloff and his fiancee, Isabel, viewers will be able to keep an eye on Audrey and Jeremy through social media. If anything, perhaps this will free Auj and Jer to post even more photos of precious little Ember Jean, since they won’t need to hold back for the show’s sake. (Some reality stars withold major life events as much as possible until they air on TV) We don’t know if she’ll actually reappear on Little People, Big World . But you can bet that she’ll spend more time with her extended family, including her slightly older cousin, Jackson. Based upon Amy’s words, it sounds like they haven’t even penciled in a precise date. But she’s been at this for 13 seasons already. If she says that the new season will premiere later this year or during the first half of next year, we’re inclined to believe her. Unlike scripted television, reality television often follows its own schedule that has more to do with the lifestyles of the stars but also the scheduling convenience of the network. Footage can sit around for months without being aired. Let’s hope that we get to see more of the Roloffs on television as soon as is reasonably possible. So … preferably this year, please. But, if need be, we can wait. View Slideshow: Audrey and Jeremy Roloff: 19 Moments We’ll Never, Ever Forget

Demi Lovato Fires More Staff, Takes Down Website Amidst Relapse Drama

It’s been three weeks since the world learned that  Demi Lovato relapsed after six years of sobriety , and it seems the recovery process has been a long and difficult one for the troubled pop songstress. To her credit, it wasn’t the tabloids that publicized her latest struggles with substance abuse but Demi herself. In June, she  released the song “Sober,” which detailed her fall from the wagon with heartbreaking and surprisingly personal lyrics. Unfortunately, the release of the song did not signal the start of Demi’s long road back to sobriety, as many had hoped. Instead, those who know her best say Lovato is still drinking and has no immediate plans to get clean. “Demi has gone off the rails,” a source tells Radar Online. Equally troubling is the fact that the singer has reportedly been severing ties with those who wish to help her. Demi fired her manager  earlier this week, and it seems she’s ended her relationship with several other staffers in the days that followed. “She’s completely dropped her family members, friends and everyone in the sober community, including all of the people at CAST [Demi’s former recovery program],” the source claimed. “And now she is cutting off her staff who have worked with her forever.” As Radar reports, Lovato also shut down her website earlier this week. The site is now back up and running, but the hiatus left many with the impression that Demi is badly in need of some time away from the spotlight. The fact that Lovato is cashing in on her relapse by actively promoting “Sober” on her social media pages has led some to label her a hypocrite: “She is making money off her relapse,” says the insider. “But she is a walking contradiction, because she is does not have a game plan to get clean right now.” Friends and family already staged an informal intervention, but sadly, it seems their concerns fell on deaf ears. “[They] suggested to her that she should get some help and go to rehab,” the source claims. Clearly, Demi didn’t heed that advice. On social media, Lovato has been the subject of a massive outpouring of concern, but unlike in years past, she seems to have little interest in communicating directly with fans. Here’s hoping she’s able to find the help she needs before it’s too late. View Slideshow: Demi Lovato: 19 Candid Confessions from Her Documentary

Justin Bieber Shares (VERY!) Sultry PDA Pic with Hailey Baldwin

Whoa there, Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin! Get a room, will ya?!? The singer has shared the most revealing photo yet of himself and his fiancee, posting to his wildly popular Instagram page a photo of him and Baldwin making out. We’re not even sure if making out is the proper term here, actually. Perhaps we should go with eating each other’s faces off instead. The picture, who has received nearly six millions Likes in eight hours of being live, features Baldwin and Bieber in either a pool or a hot tub. The model is straddling and the artist and may very well be topless, too. Bieber is most definitely not wearing a shirt, his tattoo-filled torso making all followers drool and hate Baldwin even more than they did before. Oh, and the famous couple is also going at it, hard, with their mouths. See what we mean here: Bieber did not include a caption with the photo, probably because the image clearly speaks for itself: He and Baldwin are totally in love and cannot keep their hands off one another. This much was made obvious when Justin and Hailey were caught swapping spit in New York City a few weeks ago, a public display of affection that proved they were back together. Fast forward just a month or so and… BAM! Bieber and Baldwin were engaged . We’re still having trouble processing the speed at which this all went down. As you must know by now, however, Bieber proposed to Baldwin on a Saturday night in the Bahamas. The news spread quickly because many witnesses were on hand to witness the magical moment, with Bieber himself confirming the bombshell about a day later. “Plain and simple Hailey I am soooo in love with everything about you!” he wrote on Instagram, adding in gushing detail: “So committed to spending my life getting to know every single part of you loving you patiently and kindLY.” Referencing a higher power and a potential for kids down the line, Justin continued: “I promise to lead our family with honor and integrity letting Jesus through his Holy Spirit guide us in everything we do and every decision we make. “My heart is COMPLETELY and FULLY YOURS and I will ALWAYS put you first! You are the love of my life Hailey Baldwin and I wouldn’t want to spend it with anybody else. “You make me so much better and we compliment eachother so well!! Can’t wait for the best season of life yet!” Shortly after, Baldwin Tweeted her own feelings on her man and their agreement to marry: “Not sure what I did in life to deserve such happiness but I am so utterly grateful to God for giving me such an incredible person to share my life with! “No words could ever express my gratitude.” So there you have it. Amazing, right? We hear the Bieber-Baldwin wedding is already being planned and that it may be an intimate affair. Will it take place in Justin’s native country of Canada? Quite possibly. But we still have plenty of time to uncover those details. For now, we thought you may be curious to see where we rank Baldwin on Bieber’s list of sexual conquests: View Slideshow: Justin Bieber: All His Sexual Conquests, RANKED!

Jinger Duggar on Giving Birth: I’m Terrified, Y’all!

Not long after the world learned that Jinger Duggar is pregnant , the beloved reality star revealed her due date to be sometime in early July. Now, we suppose different folks have different definitions, but for most people, that would mean any date between July 1 and July 15. What we’re saying is, if it’s not already passed, Jinger’s due date is very, very close. And it seems that even though birthing and child-rearing have pretty much been parts of her day-to-day life since childhood, Jinger is currently experiencing the heady mix of emotions that every first time goes through in the final stages of pregnancy. Speaking with TLC recently, Jinger revealed that she’s more than a little frightened by the prospect of giving birth. “I get scared thinking about birth and labor,” she told her home network. Her husband, Jeremy Vuolo, didn’t offer much in the way of help, admitting that he’s flat-out clueless about the entire process: “I don’t know much about birth,” he said. Like we said, Jinger must know a thing or two about birth, what with having 13 younger siblings and 10 nieces and nephews. But in many ways, she and Jeremy are in uncharted territory. From the very start, they established that their marriage would be different from those of Jinger’s sisters. The most obvious act of rebellion, of course, was Jinger’s decision to begin wearing pants instead of floor-length dresses (with her husband’s permission of course). But the couple also set themselves apart in more subtle ways. Jinger waited a full year after her wedding to get pregnant. Obviously, there’s nothing unusual about that in most cases, but Duggar women typically get pregnant on their honeymoons. And soon, Jinger will become the first Duggar woman of her generation to give birth outside of the great state of Arkansas. Again, that may not seem like a big deal, but the Duggars are second only to the Waltons as Arkansas’ most famous family, and their ties to their hometown are very strong. Anyway, it’s refreshing to see Jinger being so candid about her trepidation — we suppose that’s just one more way in which she’s breaking the mold. Watch Counting On online to get caught up on the show that made her family famous before the season premiere later this summer. View Slideshow: Jinger Duggar: Secrets & Scandals of the Family Rebel!

Tyler Honeycutt, Former UCLA Basketball Standout, Dead After Shootout with Cops

Tyler Honeycutt, a former star for the UCLA Bruins who played parts of two seasons in the NBA, was found dead on Friday inside his home after a violent standoff with the police. He was 27 years old. The details behind Honeycutt’s death are both sad and bizarre. The Los Angeles Police Department and L.A. Fire Department told USA Today, TMZ and other media outlets that a man with a firearm shot at officers around5p.m. on Friday, prior to barricading himself inside his Sherman Oaks, California home for nine hours. The SWAT team eventually arrived and entered the residence … only to find Honeycutt lying on the ground, unresponsive. On Saturday afternoon, the official LAPD Twitter account die not cite Honeycutt by name, but did provide an update on the situation from the evening before, writing: Regarding last nights Officer-Involved Shooting in Van Nuys Division, it appears as if the suspect was not struck by any officer’s gunfire. The suspect appears to have sustained injuries consistent with a self-inflicted gunshot wound. TMZ reports that a gun was found inside the premises, near Honeycutt’s body, and it is presumed he took his own life. This same website says that Honeycutt’s mother was the person who called police Friday, saying her son was acting erratically on Friday. The former college star’s family has confirmed his passing to a local ABC affiliate, while his agent has done the same to the Russian team for whom Honeycutt had been playing professionally. No officers were injured in the altercation, according to LAPD. Meanwhile, several residents in the area had been evacuated as a precaution. Honeycutt earned All-Pac-10 First Team honors in 2011 as a sophomore, leading his team to the NCAA Tournament. He was then drafted by the Sacramento Kings in the second roundon tha NBA Draft, playing sporadically for two seasons with them, before heading to Europe to continue his career. He most recently played with Moscow’s BC Khimki. Former Kings teammate DeMarcus Cousins was one of several players to mourn Honeycutt’s death on social media, Tweeting this afternoon after the tragic news broke: “Prayers up for his family and friends. Rest easy bro!” Honeycutt’s coach at Khimki, Giorgios Bartzokas, was too overwhelmed to comment, saying simply when asked by reporters: “I am sorry I cannot talk right now, I am really sad.” Added New Orleans Pelicans point guard Jrue Holiday: “Still can’t believe this… Rest In Peace to my brother Tyler Honeycutt.” Our thoughts and condolences go out to the friends, family members and loved ones of Tyler Honeycutt. May he rest in peace. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2018: In Memoriam
