Jason Hoppy: Arrested for Stalking Bethenny Frankel!

Jason Hoppy has finally gone too far with Bethenny Frankel. One could easily say, of course, that Hoppy went too far many times in the past with Frankel. Back in November, for instance, Hoppy was accused by Frankel’s then-boyfriend , Dennis Shields, of sending dozens of emails with “increasing frequency and hostility.” Those were the words of Shields’ attorney at the time. The emails in question last fall referred to Frankel as old and ugly and warned Shields that she would soon leave him, just as Bethenny supposedly left all the other men in her life. That was bad. But the latest allegation against Hoppy is even worse. According to The New York Post, Hoppy was arrested for stalking Frankel after her allegedly turned up outside the school of the couple’s daughter on Friday and screamed four words at his ex-wife: I WILL DESTROY YOU! The New York Police Department has confirmed the arrest and said it relates to the aforementioned email scandal. After Hoppy sent nearly 50 threatening emails to Shields and Frankel over the span of about three months last year, he was issued a cease-and-desist letter. Those past instances, combined with what happened late last week, gave the police ammunition to charge Hoppy with stalking. Said a NYPD spokeswoman to the newspaper: “On Friday, January 27, the suspect approached [Bethenny] and a friend at her child’s school at around 8:15 a.m. and tried to provoke a fight. “He said, ‘I will destroy you, you can get all the lawyers you want, you’ve been warned.'” The spokeswoman adds that Hoppy denies this account and was placed under arrest on Friday afternoon and charged with harassment in the first degree and stalking in the fourth degree. Hoppy and Frankel are parents to a six-year old named Bryn. They were married for two years prior to getting embroiled in one of the ugliest, most bitter divorce and custody battles on record. The divorce was not even made official until July 2016, at which time it was believed Hoppy was awarded a ton of money in spousal support. “Jason is thrilled that this chapter of his life is over; he is extremely pleased with the settlement that was reached,” an attorney speaking for Frankel’s ex said last summer. In addition to a custody debate, the angry lovers endured conflict over who could live in the Tribeca apartment Bethenny bought in 2001. Unable to decide on ownership themselves, the two actually lived for years under that same roof, despite their public and nasty breakup. Frankel later referred to this arrangement as “brutal” and “horrendous.” “I have cried enough tears to fill the Hudson River,” Frankel said last year of the split “I’d think, how could this go on for so long? Four years on a two-year marriage!” View Slideshow: The 9 Richest Real Housewives in Bravo History Neither Frankel nor Hoppy has commented on this new arrest and the new stalking charge. We aren’t going to choose a side in their ongoing drama. We’re just going to say that a little girl is caught in between and we hope both sides remember that.

Kremlin Ain’t Isht: Russian Parliament Votes 380-3 To Decriminalize Domestic Violence

Russian Parliament Votes To Decriminalize Domestic Violence The Russian parliament recently voted 380-3 to all decriminalize domestic violence cases where it does not cause “substantial bodily harm” reports USA Today . The new law also counts for DV cases that don’t happen more than once a year. The move, which eliminates criminal liability in such cases, makes a violation punishable by a fine of roughly $500, or a 15-day arrest, provided there is no repeat within 12 months. The bill now goes to the rubber-stamp upper chamber, where no opposition is expected. It then must be signed by President Vladimir Putin, who has signaled his support. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told journalists that family conflicts do “not necessarily constitute domestic violence.” Will this new law come to Putin’s America ?

The Real Life Moments That Were Depicted In Part 3 Of The New Edition Story

To be honest, we were so sad that the New Edition Story is over and want to hang on to the feeling of love and pride we experienced for the past three nights watching the group’s story on BET. So in an effort to hold on just a bit longer, here is a bit of behind the scenes information about what we’ve seen for the past few days.

Just yesterday, Trump’s plans to implement a wall to prevent illegal immigration shocked many Americans, as the divisive rhetoric spewed during election season became a reality. According to the NewYork Times, Trump’s “crackdown” on illegal immigration begins with the immediate construction of a wall across the borders of Mexico and a significant decrease in legal immigration from countries where Islam is most prevalent. Refugees from Syria will also be barred from entering the United States — a complete opposite of the diplomatic and bipartisan sanctions put in place during the Obama administration. What makes matters worse is Trump plans to fund the wall on the backing of American citizens (i.e. tax increases) and then be reimbursed by the Mexican government. As this should come as no surprise, even the President of Mexico has rejected this proposal.

Selena Gomez and The Weeknd: Where Did They Go Now?

It’s official, folks. Selena Gomez and The Weeknd are a thing. They’re not hooking up; they’re not friends with benefits, they’re dating – and it’s a nightmare for people like us who feel compelled to come up with a catchy nickname for every celebrity couple. (Seleknd? Weelena?! Nothing works!) Selena and The Weeknd (who we’re just gonna start calling by his real name, Abel Tesfaye, because we’re sick of seeing that squiggly red line all over our screen) were spotted on a group date last night, which is interesting for a couple of reasons. First of all, group dates are a sure sign of relationships. If you’re just casually gettin’ it in with someone you don’t introduce them to your friends, unless stringing people along and getting your entire social circle in on the act is, like, your thing. Also interesting is the makeup of the crowd: Yes, as you can see, Jaden Smith and French Montana were along for the star-studded Dave & Buster’s excursion. The conversations between Selena, French, and Jaden must have been pretty interesting. Selena: “My ex-boyfriend is banging Kourtney Kardashian.” French: “Really? I used to go out with Khloe.” Jaden: “Small world! I used to stalk Kylie like it was my job!” *everyone takes one big step away from Jaden* The group didn’t leave the arcade until 3 am, which is sure to bolster rumors about The Weeknd being a bad influence on Selena , but sources say they appeared to be sober and energetic as they strolled through the parking lot. Which is really no surprise. It’s Dave and Buster’s; have you ever had a cocktail there? It’s like someone whispered “shot of vodka” over the rim of a pint glass full of fruit juice. You’d go into diabetic shock before you ever worked up a buzz. Anyway, what’s really important here is that these two are clearly an item. Sources say Selena has fallen harder for Tesfaye than she ever did for Bieber, which is gotta be royally pissing the Biebs off. Just one more reason to love this relationship! Best of luck, you crazy kids!

Kailyn Lowry: Dating Teen Mom 2 Producer J.C. Cueva?!

If you watch Teen Mom 2 online you know that its different from other reality shows, in that the behinds-the-scenes crew regularly gets involved in the drama. With the exception of Teen Mom: OG, we don’t know of another reality series in which producers double as characters and regularly interact with the cast on camera. Obviously, this can lead to problems, in the form of both conflict (such as when Farrah Abraham assaulted a producer last year) and accusations of inappropriate friendliness… It’s been over a year since  Kailyn Lowry first separated from Javi Marroquin , so it’s not surprising that the 24-year-old is mother of two is ready to move on with a new love interest. And with the amount of time that Kailyn puts into filming, it stands to reason that she would hit it off with one of her on-set co-workers. And since she seems to have a particularly close relationship with one member of the TM2 crew, we suppose it was only a matter of time before fans began to spread the rumor that their relationship is more than just professional. J.C. Cueva is new to the TM2 game, but he and Kailyn reportedly hit it off from their first day of filming together. “I think I have a really good relationship with Kail,” Cueva said in aninterview last month. “I was a new person coming in; her previous field producer had been with her for years and years. I had big shoes to fill, but I think I did a good job. I joke around with her a lot.” He added: “She likes me as a person, but she hates that I have to be a producer sometimes. We get along really great, and I think she respects me.”   It’s not hard to see how fans got the impression that there’s something extracurricular going on between Kailyn and J.C. But Kailyn maintains that she and J.C. are friendly co-workers, and nothing more. When fans began bombarding Kailyn with questions about whether she’s dating Cueva (with several adding the hashtag “#IfNotYouShouldBe”) Lowry took her time in replying. But when she did offer a response, she left no room for interpretation: “Omg no! He’s my producer!” Kailyn tweeted, presumably while clutching at a string of pearls. Of course, if she were dating Cueva, that’s exactly how she would need to respond. We’re just sayin’ … View Slideshow: Kailyn Lowry: Timeline of a Turbulent Teen Mom Life

Mary Tyler Moore Dies; TV Legend Was 80 Years Old

Mary Tyler Moore, the beloved veteran actress who influenced a generation of female comedians via her iconic role on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, passed away today in a Connecticut hospital. She was 80 years old. The legendary star was admitted to the hospital this week following a lengthy battle with Diabetes. She also underwent brain surgery in 2011 and has struggled with a number of healthy problems in recent years. In 2014, friends said Moore was suffering from heart and kidney problems and was on the verge of going blind. Hence why she had not been spotted out in public very often. According to TMZ, Moore was on a respirator for over week prior to her passing. Her rep, Mara Buxbaum, issued a statement to TMZ that confirmed this tragic news: “Today, beloved icon, Mary Tyler Moore, passed away at the age of 80 in the company of friends and her loving husband of over 33 years, Dr. S. Robert Levine. She called Moore “a groundbreaking actress, producer, and passionate advocate for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.” All in all, “Mary will be remembered as a fearless visionary who turned the world on with her smile.” Few women have left as indelible a mark on the entertainment industry as Moore. She rose to fame as the character of Laura Petrie, a wife and mother on The Dick Van Dyke Show, which ran from 1961 through 1966. In 1970, she signed on to portray Mary Richards, a news producer in Minneapolis on The Mary Tyler Moore Show. It ran for seven seasons and is considered one of the funniest, most respected and appreciated sitcoms in TV history. Over the course of its unparalleled run, The Mary Tyler Moore Show won 29 Emmys, a total that has only been surpassed by Saturday Night Live, Frasier and Game of Thrones. Here is a look at Moore and other members of the cast from the mid-70s: On the big screen, Moore was best known for two movies: 1967’s Thoroughly Modern Millie. 1980’s Ordinary People, for which she was nominated for Best Actress at the Academy Awards. Moore’s most recent television credits included three episodes of That 70s Show in 2005 and an appearance on Hot in Cleveland in 2013. In May 2011, Moore underwent elective brain surgery to remove a benign meningioma. She was also a self-confessed alcoholic, detailing this personal struggle in a pair of memoirs. A long-time animal rights activist, Moore worked over the years with Farm Sanctuary to raise awareness about the process involved in factory farming. She was dedicated to the compassionate treatment of farm animals and was the co-founder of Broadway Barks, an annual animal adopt-a-thon held in New York City. Married three times, Moore suffered a personal tragedy in 1980. That year, her only child, 24-year old son Richard, died from a self-inflicted shotgun wound after playing with the weapon at home. But it was Moore’s contribution to the world of comedy that will live on forever, in the hearts and minds of so many fans, friends and colleagues. She will forever be on the short list of influential stars, anchoring a TV show as a woman during a time when actresses rarely received such an opportunity. We join the entertainment world and world in general in sending our condolences to the friends, family members and loved ones of Mary Tyler Moore. She was an icon, in every respect. May she rest in peace. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2017: In Memoriam UPDATE: Immediately upon news of Moore’s passing going viral, celebrities expressed their sadness over social media. “RIP beautiful, upbeat, shining, glorious, wonderful, iconic Mary Tyler Moore,” wrote Andy Cohen, while Larry King added: “#MaryTylerMoore was a dear friend and a truly great person. A fighter. Rest in peace, MTM.” In closing, we’ll leave you this memorable Mary Tyler Moore quote: Take chances, make mistakes. That’s how you grow… You have to fail in order to practice being brave. She was intelligent, witty, profound and hilarious. She was one of a kind. View Slideshow: Mary Tyler Moore Dead: Stars Pay Tribute to an Icon

Amber Portwood: See Her Brand New Makeover!

Things haven’t been looking too great for Amber Portwood lately. But just because things are going badly doesn’t mean you can’t look good! Amber put all her issues (which we’ll discuss momentarily!) aside this weekend so that she could give herself a whole new look. That’s the “before” photo she shared on Instagam. Sure, it’s pretty filtered, but take it in. “Hair is going PINK today!!!!” she revealed in the caption. “You can’t talk me out of it lol.” Pink hair, huh? Is that too big a change for the famously blonde Teen Mom star? Can she pull it off? Amber didn’t wait to long to share the “after” photo, the one with all the pink hair, so go ahead and judge for yourself: It looks cute, right? And despite that remarkably glum look on this face, she wrote in the caption that she loves the change. And hey, good for her. She deserves to feel good about herself, and she should — she looks great. But there’s a good chance Amber decided to go for such a different look to get her mind off her recent legal troubles. Amber and her sketchy boyfriend, Matt Baier, are being sued by their former rental company for unpaid rent and repairs. Why didn’t they pay rent, if Amber’s got all that Teen Mom money and Matt’s preparing to release his memoir ? It’s a good question, but one we don’t have the answer for. According to the court documents filed by the rental company, Amber and Matt owe $1,600 for failing to pay their last month of rent, as well as thousands of dollars worth of damages, much of it inflicted by the couple’s many pets. To repair the carnage left in Amber and Matt’s wake, the company says they’ll need to repair damaged dry wall, replace the vertical blinds, and order new mini blinds and a new door knob. They’ll also have to get a new smoke detector and install it, and there’s a whole lot to be done to the outside of the house, too. For what it’s worth, Amber’s former neighbor has disputed the rental company’s claims, saying that Amber’s old house looks fine and that it’s already being rented to someone new. She’s due in court in late February to deal with all this … but at least we know she’ll look fabulous while doing so.

Yordano Ventura Dead: Kansas City Royals Pitcher Was 25

Sad news today: Yordano Ventura is dead. Ventura, a 25-year-old pitcher for the World Series-winning Kansas City Royals , died today in a car crash in the Dominican Republic. It’s unclear exactly what happened to cause the crash, but according to Sports Illustrated, it’s believed that he was under the influence at the time of the crash. A Dominican police chief first broke the news of the crash, tweeting in Spanish “Regrettable!! It is the player YORDANO VENTURA the person who died in an accident in Juan Adrian at dawn today.” Later, the Vice President of Communications and Broadcasting for the Royals confirmed the news. “It is with a heavy and broken heart that we confirm the passing of Yordano Ventura,” he tweeted. “The club will release a statement soon. #RIPAce” — Ace, of course, being Ventura’s nickname. The Royals released an official press release just a few hours ago to “regretfully announce the passing of Yordano Ventura, who perished in a car accident last night in the Dominican Republic.” In the statement, Dayton Moore, general manager of the Royals, said “Our prayers right now are with Yordano’s family as we mourn this young man’s passing.” “He was so young and so talented, full of youthful exuberance and always brought a smile to everyone he interacted with.” “We will get through this as an organization,” Moore concluded, “but right now is a time to mourn and celebrate the life of Yordano.” The statement also included some information about Ventura’s short career, which he spent entirely with the Royals “after signing as a non-drafted free agent in 2008” before “debuting for the club” in 2013. He played two World Series with the team, helping bring them their second ever victory in 2015. During the last game Ventura played, he wore a special hat that paid tribute to two other baseball players who died too soon: Jose Fernandez who died last fall in a boating accident , and Oscar Taveras who died in a car crash a few years ago. Ventura’s teammates are already sending messages of mourning and love on Twitter. “I love you Ace,” third baseman Mike Moustakas wrote. “I don’t know what to say other than I’m going to miss you a lot. RIP ACE.” First baseman Eric Hosmer tweeted “ACE I love you my brother. I’m in disbelief and don’t know what to say. I love you ACE.” Drew Butera, a catcher for the Royals, wrote “Gone way too soon. You will forever be my brother. My prayers are with you and your family. May you rest with the Lord now.” Fellow pitcher Kyle Zimmer wrote “We lost a great one today. Hard to believe he’s actually gone. You will be greatly missed, Ace.” Hunter Dozier said “I’m at a loss of words today.. Very sad day in the baseball community. You’ll be missed Ace.” “When you scroll down and your whole newsfeed is talking about your brother,” left fielder Terrance Gore mused. “The impact the energy you brought to our team #GoneTooSoon” “I am still in disbelief,” pitcher Matt Strahm wrote. “I am going to miss you Ace! The clubhouse won’t be the same without you.” General manager Dayton Moore added “We love Yordano. We love his heart & who he was as a teammate & friend. He challenged us & made us better. We’re going to miss him.” Our thoughts and prayers go out to all affected by this tragic death.
