SPW / SplashNews.com Tristan Thompson Allegedly Caught Flirting And Touching Another Woman While Khloe Kardashian Wasn’t Around There’s a saying that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. But apparently, it’s not so easy for young dogs either. There is YET ANOTHER story of Tristan Thompson acting up while out and about. This time US Weekly says that just five months after being caught cheating on Khloe just days before she gave birth to their daughter True, Cleveland Cavaliers center, Thompson, who is 27 was spotted by an eyewitness canoodling with another woman at L.A.’s Warwick nightclub on September 20: “Tristan and a girl were chatting and flirting throughout the night,” a partygoer reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly. “They were very touchy-feely. He had his hand on her butt.” Sources close to the couple say that it doesn’t matter what anybody else saw — Khloe isn’t going to buy it unless she’s seeing it with her own eyes. “Khloé believes every word Tristan tells her,” says a source close to the mom of daughter True, 5 months. “They’ll stay together.” If you hadn’t already heard, Khloe has every intention of moving back to Cleveland with True when Tristan’s NBA season resumes and there’s absolutely nothing her friends and family can do to convince her to stay in Los Angeles. “Everyone is flabbergasted, but her family has learned to keep their opinions quiet,” reveals the insider. “People underestimate the threshold of what she’ll put up with for love.” The new allegations come on the tail of an insider revealing to US Weekly that the couple were “doing better than anyone could have expected” after the first cheating scandal. “Tristan has promised Khloé he will never betray her again,” the insider revealed. “She believes him.” Khloe is obviously a very loyal woman. She stuck with Lamar through drug addiction and cheating. Now she’s sticking with Tristan through public embarrassment. What would you do if you were in her shoes?
A new set of celebrities (yes, ABC is still rolling with that term for these people!) hit the floor Monday night as Dancing with the Stars Season 27 got underway. This is usually the point we talk about which of the celebrities are notable, but it’s difficult to do that when the show has such a random bunch who probably should not have made the cut. But they did. Let’s break down the performances on the season premiere to find out which members of the cast actually stand a chance at winning. Mary Lou Retton and Sasha Farber We liked Retton’s chances heading into the season because of her stint in the Olympics. Athletes are more flexible than most, and cutting some shapes on the dance floor is the name of the game on this series. They dance the Cha Cha to “Treasure,” and there were some glaring issues. It could be a case of it being the first performance, but she will need to loosen up if she wants to remain in the game. Len Goodman did say she was “pretty nifty for fifty,” so there’s that. Judges’ Score: 19/30 Milo Manheim and Witney Carson We had no idea who the heck Milo was when the cast was revealed, but after one episode, we’re sure he’s going to make it very far. The Disney star performed the Cha Cha to “Free Free Free,” and there was instant chemistry between him and Witney. There was some criticism, but most of that stemmed from him moving around at a breakneck pace. It turns out these judges want him to straighten his legs a little bit more. Okay then. Judges’ Score: 20/30 Evanna Lynch and Keo Motsepe Evanna was memorable as Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter movies, and if she manages to battle the nerves, she could carve out a dancing career. She was fast and tried any of the routines set out for her which is no easy task. She was rejected from dance college and is now looking to dance her way to victory. She and Keo danced the foxtrot to “Do You Believe in Magic.” It’s unclear whether Evanna does actually believe in magic. Judges’ Score: 18/30 Danelle Umstead and Artem Chigvintsev Danelle danced the foxtrot to “Rise Up” with Artem. Despite being completely blind, she aced the number. The judges seemed to think so as well, calling the duo’s bond “magical.” Judges Score: 18/30 Bobby Bones and Sharna Burgess This radio personality went with a jive to “T-R-O-U-B-L-E,” and it was a surprisingly fresh performance. Granted, there were some issues, but for the most part, it was solid. Judges’ Score: 20/30 Juan Pablo Di Pace and Cheryl Burke Did anyone actually think this Fuller House actor was going to be bad? The moment he appeared on the dance floor with Cheryl and danced a salsa to “Dinero,” it was evident he was one to watch. Len even went as far as calling him “the hunk with the junk in the trunk.” Judges’ Score: 22/30 Nikki Glaser and Gleb Savchenko This was one of the more frustrating performances on the night. The comedian went with a salsa to “Yes,” but it was far too rusty. It felt like an early rehearsal, and the judges pointed that out through their critiques. Judges’ Score: 17/30 Alexis Ren and Alan Bersten Was this the biggest surprise of the night? Model, Alexis Ren who we had never heard of before her casting strutted her stuff in a poignant jive to “Good Golly Miss Molly.” She dedicated the performance to her late mother, and the judges were shocked by her dancing ability. Judges’ Score: 21/30 John Schneider and Emma Slater At one point, John Schneider was very famous. Somewhere along the way, he disappeared out of the public eye. He returned on Monday night with a solid foxtrot to “Good Ol’ Boys from Dukes of Hazzard.” We’re struggling to conclude whether the song choice was smart or desperate. The judges were divided on whether there was something there, but we’ll need to stay tuned to find out if he dances to the Smallville theme tune next. Judges’ Score: 18/30 Tinashe and Brandon Armstrong Tinasha is the only member of the cast who is still semi-relevant. It makes sense then that she would prove why she was still relevant with her dance routine. Her jive to “I’m a Lady” oozed elegance and was filled with showstopping moments. Do we already have our winner? Judges’ Score: 23/30 Nancy McKeon and Val Chmerkovskiy This The Facts of Life star turned in a surprisingly solid quickstep to “It Don’t Mean a Thing,” and the judges had a mixed response to it. She was by no means the best or the worst performer of the night, but there’s potential. Judges’ Score: 18/30 Joe “Grocery Store Joe” Amabile and Jenna Johnson We still have no idea why Joe is part of the cast, but he kept a smile on his face while performing the quickstep to “Fish Out of Water,” and it was a resounding failure. Will he self-evict or will he be headed home Tuesday night? Judges’ Score: 14/30 DeMarcus Ware and Lindsay Arnold This former NFL pro closed out the season premiere with an awesome cha-cha to “Sweet Sensation.” All three judges were enamored with his ability. Judges’ Score: 23/30. What are your thoughts on the performances? Who should go? Dancing with Stars continues tonight at 8/7c on ABC. View Slideshow: Dancing with the Stars: The Odds are Out!

Mariska Hargitay And Ice T Talk Working Together For 2 Decades Law & Order: Special Victims Unit is one of the most iconic shows on television, so it’s no wonder it’s been on the air since 1999 and isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Though a lot of characters on the long-running series come and go, Ice-T and Mariska Hargitay have been there since the beginning–the two stopped by Late Night with Seth Meyers last week to talk about their experiences working together for 2 decades.
Beyonce has been called a lot of things over the course of her career — a legend, an icon, a tasty hors-d’oeuvr e for D-list actresses … But now, it seems Queen Bey can add yet another accolade to her long list of honors — all-powerful witch goddess. That’s the strange claim made in court documents filed by Kimberly Thompson, a former drummer for Beyonce who now wants a restraining order against the singer. In the filing, which was first obtained by The Blast and later verified by Pitchfork , Thompson requests protection from Bey, claiming that her former boss has been known to use “extreme witchcraft” and “magic spells of sexual molestation.” We assume “extreme witchcraft” is when you cast spells while bungee-jumping or something. Believe it or not, Thompson’s claims get even more bonkers from there. The drummer says that during her seven years working with Bey, the pop legend manipulated her finances with witchcraft and even “murdered” her kitten. Kimberly didn’t go into any detail on that latter claim, so we don’t know if Beyonce hit the kitten with an avada kedavra spell, or simply dashed its head on a rock the old-fashioned way. Thompson is a highly-respected musician, and in addition to her time with Beyonce, she’s released several albums and performed with the Late Night With Seth Meyers house band. That may be why her restraining order petition sounds like something from a rambling Fred Armisen improv. Not surprisingly, Thompson’s request was declined, probably because judges are pretty much always skeptical about claims of supernatural activity, right until a couple ghosts they sentenced to the electric chair come bursting into the courtroom, a la Ghostbusters 2 . Unless that happens, we’re guessing Thompson’s complaints will remain unacknowledged by our legal system. All kidding aside, a note to the Bey Hive: We know you’re angry that Thompson attempted to besmirch your queen’s legacy, but please do not attack this woman on social media. Our guess is that she’s suffering from some sort of mental illness or is at least going through a very difficult time, and threatening emojis from 100,000 strangers probably won’t help her condition.

Source: NurPhoto / Getty Mac Miller ‘s sudden passing last week still remains something of a mystery as an official cause of death has yet to be announced. While speculation over how the young rapper died remains high, it has since come out that Miller was allegedly dead for hours ahead of his body being discovered. TMZ reports : Law enforcement sources tell us … when cops and paramedics arrived at the rapper’s home last Friday, it was clear he had died long before they got there. TMZ broke the story … friends came over the night before Mac died to hang out, and we’re told they stayed until the early hours of Friday morning, Sept. 7. Mac’s body was found Friday around noon. We broke the story … Miller died of an apparent overdose at his San Fernando Valley home. Cops say no one has come forward claiming they saw Mac alive after Thursday night. He was pronounced dead at the scene, after someone at his home called 911, saying Mac wasn’t breathing and was unresponsive. The emergency dispatch call came in as “cardiac arrest,” but apparently that’s because the person who found him may not have realized he was already dead. The outlet adds that while drugs weren’t found, a small amount of white powder was located in the San Fernando Valley home. — Photo: Getty
