It's safe to say that 90 Day Fiance legend Larissa Lima is still catching her breath from her war with Evelin Villegas . But the self-styled Queen still has plenty of room for conflict in her life, it seems. No sooner was it announced that Larissa had dumped her boyfriend Eric than Colt began hinting that he was in a relationship again. Now, 90 Day Fiance blogger John Yates has revealed that woman to the world and how fans will get to know her. Larissa has made it clear that she doesn't think much of, well, any of this. Take a look: 1. Larissa is SO over it Suddenly, Larissa Lima has found herself in the middle of multiple conflicts. She’s getting hate from fans, she’s dealing with TWO exes, and she’s caught in a love triangle from a 90 Day Fiance spinoff on which she has never even appeared. 2. Larissa’s getting over a breakup She was with Eric Nichols for seven months — that’s as long as her marriage to Colt lasted. And it still hasn’t quite been a month since that split. Even when you’re the one who did the dumping, that’s going to take an emotional toll. 3. And then there was THIS drama The huge back and forth between Larissa and Evelin over Corey, and the involvement of fans (and haters) of all three, was explosive. 4. Larissa’s STILL trying to clear the air As she made clear, Colt Johnson was the only one she loved — and she later clarified that she meant since moving to the US, which makes this much less sad. Evelin, in the mean time, feels betrayed that the love of HER life is blabbing about what she considers personal relationship issues to Larissa (who, you know, made some of those public knowledge in order to fight back against Evelin’s slut-shaming) 5. But Larissa has had more to say So many people, namely Evelin, have accused her of having plastic surgery. She would undergo certain types, but she has not actually had any. 6. That’s true! Larissa has gotten various facial fillers, even augmenting her jawline. But these are not surgical in nature. They’re just injections. View Slideshow
It's been almost two years since Farrah Abraham was fired from Teen Mom 2 . Many of Farrah's harshest critics had hoped that by this point, she would be working the drive-thru window at Wendy's and regaling her teenage co-workers with tales of her former life as a wealthy TV personality. Alas, Sophia's mom somehow continues to afford an opulent lifestyle. So how does Farrah continue to travel the world in style despite the fact that she's never performed an honest day's work? Well, the short answer is “sex work.” But if you want a much longer and more delusional answer, Ms. Abraham is more than happy to provide you with one: 1. The Farrah System Farrah Abraham enjoys a life of luxury. And she thinks you could do the same — if only you would stop acting like a broke loser and try to be more like her. 2. The High Life In recent months, Farrah and her 10-year-old daughter Sophia have attended red carpet events in Venice, New York, and several points in between. 3. Full Disclosure Granted, the New York event was a launch party for Jenelle Evans’ cosmetics line, but you get the point. 4. Broke With Expensive Taste And how does Ms. Abraham manage such a lifestyle when she hasn’t worked full-time since 2017? 5. Still Grindin’ Well, for a while there, she had managed to score a second gig as an MTV reality star, appearing on the trash-tastic series Ex on the Beach. 6. Cam Mom And then there’s the online sex work, of course. Farrah hasn’t appeared in a proper adult film since the infamous Backdoor Teen Mom, but you can still pay to watch one of her live cam performances. View Slideshow
Ronnie Magro and Jen Harley are the most dangerous couple in Hollywood. This point is really not up for debate. Days after the Jersey Shore star got arrested , however, an attorney for Ronnie has spoken out and a new report has come to light that may paint a different picture than initially believed. Is Magro really a violent cocaine user who threatened his girlfriend with a knife? Or might he be an especially responsible father who would do anything to protect his kid? Consider the following facts and rumors and try to decide for yourself… 1. Let’s Start Here: Harley and Magro are simply horrible for each other. They became parents in April 2018 when the former gave birth to a girl named Ariana… and within weeks, Jen was trashing Ronnie as a “deadbeat dad” and Ronnie referred to Jen as a “cum dumpster.” 2. And They Stayed Together After That? God, yes. And then also after Harley got arrested for dragging Ronnie down the street by her car and after she hurled a glass ashtray at his head on New Year’s Eve 2018. 3. That’s Crazy. What’s the Latest? Very early on the morning of October 4, Ronnie was arrested for allegedly attacking Jen and even for (allegedly) holding their daughter hostage. 4. Uhhhh, WHAT? It’s true. Reports state that Ronnie and Jen were renting a home in Los Angeles when they got into yet another huge argument. 5. Jen Then Made a Run for It This part of the story seems to have been confirmed. There’s surveillance footage, courtesy of the home next door, that does show Harley holding Ariana, seemingly in a huge panic. 6. Can We See That Photo? Yup. Here it is. View Slideshow
Jill Duggar is in a tough spot. Ever since Derick Dillard got fired from Counting On two years ago, her family has been without any steady source of income. ( Jill quit the show as a gesture of solidarity — a move she probably regrets these days.) All Duggars are expected to devote their adult lives to two equally important pursuits: Helping to enrich the family media empire, and cranking out a whole lot of babies. Unfortunately, Jill seems to have little interest in either objective at the moment, Not only does her current financial situation prohibit further family expansion, it seems Jill finds raising two boys to be such a handful that she’s considering closing up shop. Just one week after Jill and Derick revealed that they’re expanding their family with the addition of a new puppy, Jill took to Instagram to vent her frustrations over the ever-increasing demands of mom life. Yes, it seems the situation at Casa de Dillard got a little raucous over the weekend. It all started when Jill’s sons Sam and Israel decided to get out of bed and redecorate the kitchen. “This is me frustrated,” Dillard said in her Instagram story documenting the incident. “[My son] is screaming at me because he wants a game. I just told them to go lay down or go outside until mommy can cool down and handle this situation.” And the chocolate sauce all over the kitchen wasn’t the only mess Jill had to contend with. It seems Sam and Israel also drew all over the walls with a pencil, which forced Jill to clean up with an eraser. “Just venting over here… [laugh out loud],” Jill captioned her post in an effort to keep the mood light. Of course, in the initial video, Jill griped that her life is almost unbearably stressful with “just two kids” — a comment that’s led many to the conclusion that she and Derick are done having children, Fortunately, Jill has figured out a brilliant strategy for preventing more offspring from entering her life — birth control. Yes, that might sound obvious, but most Duggars view birth control pills as the devil’s Tic Tacs. The Dillards have admitted to using birth control in the past, a fact that alarmed fans, as it was widely assumed that their faith forbade them from doing so. In any event, the situation at Jill’s house eventually calmed down, as the boys became distracted by a neighbor’s dog. And it seems Jill’s been benefitting from a time-tested coping mechanism of her own: “Have lots of good sex!” Derick wrote in a recent blog post about what he considers to be the keys to a successful marriage. “You both need this time together regularly (5-6 times (or more) a week is a good start),” Dillard added. “Guys, you need to keep yourself ‘joyfully available’ for your wife, because only you can fulfill certain desires she might have.” Needless to say, it’s a very good thing that these two don’t share her parents’ views on birth control!

If you’ve been keeping up, you know that Amanda Seales has been speaking out since Emmys weekend when she was escorted out of an after-party meant to celebrate Black Hollywood. While she initially, in Instagram Stories from that very night and event, said a white woman named Kiara had made sure she was kicked out, during the “Side Effects of Professionalism Part 1” episode of her Small Doses podcast last week, she changed her tune. The 38-year-old comedian and actress placed blame, publicly, on Vanessa Anderson , a fellow Black woman, who does PR for Issa Rae and puts together the party every year. Amanda mentioned that the two have never really hit it off, but implied that the fact that Vanessa would go so far as to have her removed from the space felt incredibly unfair and uncalled for. SEE ALSO: Actress Amanda Seales Goes Off After A White Woman Allegedly Denied Her Access To A Black Emmy Party “This party was not at her house. This was not a personal event. This was not a birthday party…It was not a naming ceremony. This was a Hollywood party for Black entertainers and contributors to Hollywood,” she said. “So by nature of that, I am a part of that industry and should be here celebrating with my community.” “It’s very frustrating to be somebody who’s just trying to do good work and have to deal with this type of unprofessionalism,” she added. “To have to deal with this type of informality and to deal with this literal type of petty a– f–kery, and Hollywood is so rife with this.” However, Amanda’s co-star, Sarunas Jackson , decided to speak on the situation, saying in a since deleted tweet responding to our story that if Amanda is going to be disrespectful, she can’t expect people to welcome her to things. That’s us putting it mildly, to be honest. “You can’t be a disrespectful-a– human being and expect people to want to hang out with you,” he said. “It’s quite simple. Sit it out.” SEE ALSO: Amanda Seales Accuses Ex-NFL Player Turned Harvard Neurosurgeon Of Sexual Harassment People ended up using his comment, and the fact that she was removed from the party without any intervention from fellow Black Hollywood folks, to try and justify a belief that Amanda is the problem in any and every situation.

( Terms and conditions ). In addition, early Monday morning she took to her IG stories to share her unfiltered thoughts on everyone taking joy out of her being embarrassed at the party and by her Insecure co-star. I guess what fascinates me is the excitement of people to be like, ‘She must be a b—h! She’s got to be a b—h! If everyone’s saying she’s a b—h then she must be a b—h!’ I think that’s fascinating to me because, because I don’t know what value that has in their lives. I think that’s what trips me out about it. I’m not f–kin’ with Trump, I’m not degrading Black folks, I’m not out here being a Fox News commentator. People legit don’t like me, one, there’s a lot of people who don’t like me because I just really don’t care about their fake phony sh-t and I don’t keep up appearances to make them feel like their fake phony sh-t is not noticed. Two, on an Internet scale, people just don’t like me because a lot of the time they’re misinterpreting sh-t that I say. And then three, people don’t like me because of their own sh-t. Four, there’s a bonus, some people don’t like me because of an interaction we had. I could have had a bad day, I could have just been stank that day, or, more often than not, they did some f–ksh-t and I called them out on it. Nonetheless, it is fascinating to watch people so enthusiastic about your downfall when you have dedicated your whole life to the upliftment of them. Truly, it is like a paradoxical thing to witness. I’m a sensitive person, but more importantly, I’m an intellectual, so at this point I’m just looking at it like, ‘Well, she must be a b—h! All these people can’t be wrong.’ Okay, so then what? [laughs] So then what? So now we have established that Amanda Seales is a b—h. Now what? See the thing is, I know who I am and I know I’m not a b—h. A b—h is somebody who’s mean for no f–kin’ reason. If I’m stank, nine times out of 10, there’s a reason. You may not be the reason. The reason might be my mood, the reason might be some sh-t I’m going through, the reason might be the person, but there’s always a reason. There’s always something behind my ire. Nonetheless, when people are saying things like, ‘If everybody’s saying she’s like this then that must be what it is and she need to change,’ I think you reach a certain point in your life where you’re like — first of all, everybody don’t think I’m a b—h. I’m a quality over quantity person. I think we can all agree that there’s way more trash a– people in this world than there are quality people. The quality people be f–kin’ with me. They do. They be f–kin’ with me heavy. And a lot of the times, I have experienced my whole life, people who have created these opinions and they come back later. But really, the whole point in talking about this is…sometimes you have to take yourself outside of things and you just look at it from the outside and your’e like, wow, this is what people spent their day doing: discussing my existence. And I don’t know if that has any bearing on their support of my work or not but it was just something that was interesting to them. That is fascinating to me in a very real way. Fascinating. But for the record, I am not a b—h. Unless you b—h made. Bu-duh-bump. To paraphrase, she says she’s not a b–h, and the fact that people have found so much joy in other people claiming she is is interesting. This story was originally published on MadameNoire.com .

Source: Leon Bennett / Getty When black people use the N-Word, it can be interpreted in different ways, but not as offensive. We’ve seen white people lose their jobs over using it because they use it in a racist manner. But recently L.A Sparks General Manager Penny Toler , who is a black woman, was fired from her position over using the N-word during a rant after a Sparks loss. “It’s unfortunate I used that word,” Toler told ESPN after the Sparks lost to the Connecticut Sun last month during a playoff game. “I shouldn’t. Nobody should but you know, like I said, I’m not here to defend word by word by word what I said. I know some of the words that I’m being accused of are embellished.” Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news. ( Terms and conditions ). Toler said the way she used the word was taken out of context. “By no means did I call my players the N-word,” Toler said when speaking to ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne after she was let go. “I’m not saying that I couldn’t have used it in a context. But it wasn’t directed at any of my players.” Sign Up For Our Newsletter! Close Thank you for subscribing! Please be sure to open and click your first newsletter so we can confirm your subscription. Email Submit Toler spent 20 seasons with the Sparks, seeing them through 18 playoff appearances and three championship titles. She also played from the Sparks from 1997 to 1999. Toler also made WNBA history when she made the league’s first basket. “Toler was relieved of her duties and will no longer be with the organization, effective immediately,” the Sparks said in a statement. “A national search will begin immediately to identify the next general manager of the Sparks. Managing Partner and Governor Eric Holoman will assume the duties in the interim.” WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert said “that type of language reportedly used has no place in our league.” “The WNBA takes pride in being one of the most diverse leagues in professional sports that fosters an inclusive and respectful environment. We thank Penny for her contributions to the WNBA through her service to the Sparks organization and as a player over two decades.” Toler had been the General Manager since 1999.

Source: Jamie Squire / Getty Simone Biles Lands Two Signature Moves At Gymnastics World Championships Simone Biles is continuing to rise to the top as one of the greatest gymnasts of all time. The effortless athlete competed in the world championships in Stuttgart, Germany this weekend and once again made history. She not only landed the triple-double during her floor routine, she landed the double-double dismount on the balance beam. USA Gymnastics confirmed on Twitter that the impressive feat ensures that the triple-double on the floor and the double-double on the beam will officially be named “The Biles” and the “Biles II” respectively. “My goal going into tonight was to not be great,” Biles said, reports CNN. “It wasn’t to do great, it was to do well, and I feel like I accomplished that.” Simone already has two moves named for her, one in the floor exercise and one on a vault. If Simone keeps it up she’ll become the most decorated gymnast in world championships history. As previously reported she won a record-tying sixth all-around title at the 2019 U.S. Gymnastics Championships in Kansas City, Missouri in August. She’s also on track to beat the record for most podium finishes at the world championships. We see you Simone!
Rip Taylor, one of the more flamboyant, colorful and memorable comedians of his generation, died in Beverly Hills on Sunday. He was 84 years old. Taylor’s publicist, Harlan Boll, confirmed this sad piece of news last night, although no cause of death has been confirmed to the public. Early in his career, Taylor realized that the more he exaggerated the gag… the bigger the laugh he drew, thereby overemphasizing everything — from his shaggy blonde toupee and bushy mustache to the zany props that were the basis of his bits. The star’s jokes were delivered with shrieking gusto at nearly all times. He started his career as a stand-up comic in nightclubs and later made his breakthrough with appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show. Dubbed the “King of Camp and Confetti” and “The Crying Comedian,” Taylor also rose to popularity due to appearances on “The Merv Griffin Show” and lots of other variety talk shows as a comic in the 1960s. He was famous for dousing his audience with buckets of colored paper, as anyone attending a Rip Taylor performance had to expect to be wearing confetti by the end of the show. Explained Taylor in 2011: “I did props and I was ‘The Prop Comedian.’ I was dying like hell on Merv Griffin’s show. The jokes were dumb, and I tore the 5 by 8 cards, threw them up in the air and it became confetti. “I knocked over his desk, walked up the aisle, went to Sardi’s and said, ‘Well, that’s the end of my television career.’ I went home that night. Their switchboard had lit up. “They said, ‘Get the guy that went crazy!’ And that is how the confetti started.” Taylor also “the $1.98 Beauty Show,” which featured guests compete for the title of the “1.98 Beauty Queen” in a pageant, talent-show format. Aside from these talk show gigs, Taylor ended up in numerous movies and television shows. One of his more memorable big-screen appearances came when he played himself in Wayne’s World 2. At one point, a quest by Wayne to put on WayneStock, the ultimate music festival, garnered stature when Taylor agreed to attend as a special guest. “Rip Taylor’s going to be there,” Mike Myers’ main character told Cassandra Wong in this scene, trying to convince her to perform. “Rip Taylor? He’s a god in my country,” she replies. “He gets mobbed in the street.” Taylor also played parts in The Dukes of Hazzard and all three Jackass movies. On TV, you may remember Rip from such programs as “Sigmund and the Sea Monsters,” “The Brady Bunch Variety Hour,” “Santa Barbara” and other smaller roles along the way. He was the subject of a 2016 documentary, Rip Rip Hooray and received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1992. Taylor was briefly married to showgirl Rusty Rowe, but got divorced soon after. He is survived by his longtime partner, Robert Fortney. May Rip Taylor rest in peace. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2019: In Memoriam
Source: Michael Tran / Getty Lil Nas X has a lawsuit on his hands after a track from his debut EP 7 , “Rodeo” has been targeted as an almost identical rip of a producer’s original composition. Brandon Lee says his production was lifted for the track without his permission, and he’s named both X and Cardi B in a lawsuit. TMZ breaks it down : Record producer Brandon Lee says he wrote a song called “gwenXdonlee4-142” and it was incorporated into a song called “Broad Day.” After the release of “Broad Day,” Lee says Cardi B and Lil Nas X released “Rodeo” this past June. … Lee says in his lawsuit, they’re both built on a 4-measure phrase outlining the cord progression E, F, G, F, E. He also says the tempo is the same, both songs utilize guitar and wind instruments, the drumbeats are the same, the chord progression is similar … among other things. Lee is also suing X’s label, Sony, as well. — Photo: Getty
