Khloe Kardashian May File For Restraining Order Against Lamar Odom For Harassment Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom have been doing the divorce dance for several years now. Following his overdose in Las Vegas last year, some thought that the two might reconcile after Khloe nursed him back to health. But according to RadarOnline , it appears that love has been replaced with fear… Khloe Kardashian has finally decided to walk away from her marriage to Lamar Odom, but convincing the former basketball star their relationship’s over hasn’t been very easy. “He’s totally lost it, calling her every name under the sun and yelling at her for breaking promises she made to him on his death bed,” an insider told RadarOnline.com. “It’s pretty vicious,” continued the insider, noting 36-year-old Odom, who nearly died after an overdose at a Nevada brothel last fall, “has been bombarding her with bitter texts and drunken rambling messages that are starting to scare her.” Sounds like ol’ Lammy Lam-Lam is back up to his old tricks… The situation has escalated so much that Kardashian is now looking into all her options, including legally keeping her ex away. “She’s now considering a restraining order against him because he’s been threatening all kinds of crazy things, from spilling all her secrets to hoping she drops dead,” revealed the insider. Lamar Odom is a drug-addict. The only person who can help him at this point is himself. Hopefully he gets it together, he might not be so lucky next time… Image via WENN/Splash
Most Black People Think OJ Is Guilty As everyone who was old enough to recall 1995 (and all those who caught The People Vs. O.J. Simpson ) know, back in the 90’s you couldn’t even TRY to convince the average Black American that The Juice was guilty of chopping up his ex-wife and her suspected lover. But now, a new study shows that that outlook has changed, and most Black people pretty much concede that OJ is as guilty as sin. The filmmaker responsible for O.J.’s upcoming 30 For 30 special breaks it down, via FiveThirtyEight : A striking poll finding was cited often in coverage of the O.J. Simpson murder trial in 1994 and 1995: Most white people thought the former football star was guilty of killing his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman, while roughly the same proportion of black people thought Simpson was innocent. The racial gap in public opinion was one of many elements of the case — along with a long history of conflict between the Los Angeles Police Department and the city’s black residents, and racist statements made by LAPD Detective Mark Fuhrman — that showed race was as important as glove size and forensic evidence. In the two decades since Simpson was acquitted by a majority-black jury, the racial gap has narrowed significantly. In two recent polls, more than 50 percent of black respondents said they thought Simpson was guilty — up from about 20 percent in most polls before, during and right after the trial. The more recent polls were conducted in 2014 and 2015, before the case returned to the public eye this year thanks to two high-profile television series: FX’s “The People v. O.J. Simpson” and ESPN Films’ “O.J.: Made in America.” (ESPN owns FiveThirtyEight.) Both series leave the impression that Simpson killed Brown Simpson and Goldman; he has said he is innocent. Why the shift? Developments in the murder trial and events in Simpson’s life probably have played a role. Changes in demographics and race relations may also have contributed to shifting black opinion about the case. Here’s a chart to illustrate the point a bit: Interesting! Honestly, with all the new evidence that came forward after the circus that was his criminal trial, his RIDICULOUS book idea, and of course the increase in information available about the events leading up to and following Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman’s murders…it’s only natural that nowadays Black people see things quite a bit differently than they did in that climate. Do YOU still think OJ was innocent? Splash

Beyonce And Family Attend CFDA Awards This year’s CFDA award ceremony featured a big surprise, kept tightly under wraps until after the show’s conclusion — Beyonce was honored with the 2016 Fashion Icon Award: While accepting the recognition for her influential style , Bey detailed how her style journey came full circle, from her seamstress grandmother to her aspiring designer mother, and developing a unique style due to lack of style opportunity given a group of young Black singers just starting out: “As long as I can remember, fashion has always been a part of my life. Its effect on me actually started before I was born. Most of you guys don’t know this, but my grandmother was a seamstress…” “When we were starting out in Destiny’s Child, high-end labels, they didn’t want to dress four black, country, curvy girls. And we couldn’t afford designer dresses and couture. My mother was rejected from every showroom in New York. But like my grandmother, she used her talent and her creativity to give her children their dreams.” “[My mother] designed all of our first costumes and made each piece by hand…putting so much passion and love into every small detail,” she said. “When I wore these clothes on stage I felt like [Game of Thrones’ queen] Khaleesi; I had an extra suit of armor. It was so much deeper than any brand name.” How far she’s come! The songstress arrived to accept her award while rocking a sparkly pinstripe suit, $9 million in Lorraine Schwartz jewels, and the extremely wide-brimmed black hat that’s become synonymous with her Lemonade look: While Jay and Blue rocked black and white looks to support Mama Bey: Hit the flip for more from the Carter family’s arrival to the CFDA Awards, and more of Beyonce’s look for the night… AKM-GSI / Splash / Instagram
Soooo, Brandi Glanville posed in her undies and complained about her post-baby waistline. The thing is, I’m not sure if I should be looking at a particular part of her torso, because she looks like a weight loss “After” picture. “Trying to get my pre-baby waistline back :/,” Glanville wrote on June 5th. “Have a little more work to do.” Glanville can be forgiven for wanting to keep it super-right and super-tight; her new E! reality show, Famously Single premieres on June 14th, and the model knows that when you feel good, you look good. Glanville co-star on the “relationship rehab” show alongside Jersey Shore’s Pauly D, former Danity Kane member Aubrey O’Day, The Bachelorette ‘s Josh Murray, model Jessica White, former NFL player Willis McGahee, Love & Hip Hop ‘s Somaya Reece, and British reality star Calum Best. In a press release for the show, Glanville revealed the number one reason why she signed on. “I’m single because I tend to sabotage relationships when I get even the smallest amount of suspicion,” Glanville admitted. “Only a small percentile of men can actually keep it in their pants.” View Slideshow: 9 Celebrities Who Will Probably Swipe You Left on Tinder Famously Single isn’t Glanville’s only gig; In addition to her podcast, Brandi Glanville Unfiltered , the Sacramento native is set to host My Kitchen Rules , a cooking competition with LeAnn Rimes’ ex-husband, Dean Sheremet. Additionally, Glanville recently revealed that she would definitely consider returning to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills . With Kathryn Edwards reportedly out , there’s room to spare for the franchise’s resident trouble maker. “I’m not ruling it out absolutely, but I’m so much happier not doing the show at the moment,” Glanville told Australia’s NW magazine. “It was toxic after a while, so it’s good to get a break.” Glanville formed a strong bond with Kim Richards, who also left the show to work on her sobriety. There is no word from Bravo on who will appear on the next season of Beverly Hills . View Slideshow: 12 Things We Miss (and Love!) About Brandi Glanville
