Tristan Thompson Shrugs Off Cheating Scandal: This is Just Who I Am!

Tristan Thompson is known for doing the dirty work on the basketball court. He sets screens. He crashes the boards. He dives to the basketball on a pick and roll. And the same thing can now be said about Tristan Thompson away from the basketball court, too. He’s a dirty player who lies, deceives and just hooks up with anyone that possesses boobs, regardless of the affect it might have on Khloe Kardashian. As you undoubtedly have read about by now,  Khloe finally dumped Tristan  after he was yet again caught cheating on her. This time, however, Thompson didn’t just go hard to the hole with some random Instagram models, as he was captured doing on camera in the fall of 2017. No: this time, he made an inappropriate post move with Jordyn Woods, Kylie Jenner’s best friend and a close acquaintance of his long-tine girlfriend. Multiple outlets have confirmed that Thompson went out with Woods and a bunch of people on Sunday night. He then invited this group back to his house to continue the party, but mostly focused his attention on the 21-year old he’s known for several months. The two sat on a couch for most of the evening, flirted a lot, allegedly made out and possibly did even more than that. After Khloe learned about what happened , she kicked Thompson to the curb. For good this time, we sincerely hope. Was it really surprising that Tristan would cheat again? No, not in our opinion. It’s just surprising he’d so with Woods, someone who has been a member of the Jenner-Kardashian inner circle for years. View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian: Tristan Thompson CONFESSED to Banging Jordyn Woods! (And It Was All Caught on Camera?!) “Tristan isn’t a manipulative person,” an insider tells Us Weekly of Thompson, kind of defending the 27-year old, but then saying of the power forward: “He’s just a cheater and doesn’t care about anyone besides himself, his wants and his needs in the moment.” As far as we can tell, Khloe and Tristan were nearing a break-up long before he he engaged in a full court bodily press with Woods, who has been kicked out of her home by Kylie . The stars had not been seen out in public since January 13 and Khloe has shared numerous cryptic quotes on Instagram about love over the past mont or so. This same tabloid source alleges that Thompson thought the romance was basically over, which is why his warped and self-centered mind didn’t think twice about entering Woods. “He doesn’t even think him hooking up with Jordyn is ‘bad’ because him and Khloé [Kardashian] were broken up in his mind. He just truly doesn’t care,” Us Weekly writes. Of course, even if Tristan and Khloe had officially called it quits prior to this hook-up, it barely gets the former off the hook. Is it really too much to ask of him not to bang a friend of his girlfriend’s within days of a split? Apparently it is in this case. Thompson and Kardashian attended Jordyn’s 21st birthday party together in September. Woods also modeled for Khloe’s Good American clothing brand. They were very tight and this is just an effed up situation all around. “Khloe loved Jordyn before this. This is completely shocking to Khloé’s family,” this insider adds. View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian to Tristan Thompson: Yes, You Cheated! God, You Suck! Because these stars share a 10-month old daughter, Thompson will remain in Khloe’s life going forward. But neither side is about to try and make things work again. “Tristan isn’t too worried about not seeing True, or Khloe establishing new rules when it comes to coparenting,” another source tells Us, concluding” “He honestly doesn’t really care and was over it. He was never trying to win Khloe back.” Yeah. That much is obvious.

Chelsea Houska: Another Kid is on the Way!

Chelsea Houska just gave birth on the most recent episode of Teen Mom 2. Viewers witnessed nearly every step of the labor and delivery on screen. Despite having only recently welcomed her third child into the world, however, this veteran realty star isn’t satisfied. She’s ready for more, folks… only maybe not quite so soon this time around. “We definitely want more kids – at least one – but I think we’re going to wait probably a little farther than the last two babies,” Houska tells E! News in an extensive interview about her children and husband. “Maybe when she’s two, we’ll start thinking about it,” she said of new addition Layne. “But there will be more.” The Teen Mom 2 cast member’s oldest child, Aubree, is nine; and her middle kid, Watson, just turned two a few weeks ago. He was just barely a year and a half old when Layne was born, meaning things must be pretty darn hectic inside the Houska/De Boer household in a daily basis, Chelsea confirms as much, but also says that Aubree is old enough to almost serve as a third parent. “Oh my gosh! I honestly think that she makes life so much easier,” says the MTV star. “Having Aubree’s help has been amazing. She loves helping. She plays with her brother when I need her to. She can get his little boots on or something when we’re heading out the door so she’s been amazing.” And don’t get Chelsea started on Cole. Not unless you want to hear a wife just gush and gush and gush and gush over her husband, that is, as Houska has often done in the past . “I mean, Cole is just great all around,” she told E! of her man, just hours after viewers watched Cole be as supportive as can be while he wife pushed through child birth. “I’m more of the laid-back parent and he’s definitely more paranoid and worried all the time, which is funny because it’s usually the mom but I mean, he’s so helpful,” she adds. “He changes diapers. He gets in there. He does it all.” Not everything in Chelsea and Cole’s life is perfect, however, frequent appearances and quotes such as these notwithstanding. Going forward this season, Teen Mom 2 fans will see Chelsea adjust to having three young kids under one roof. We’ll also watch as she faces some major bumps in the road with Aubree’s biological dad, that troublemaker Adam Lind. “I definitely have my own opinion and my own opinion on things, but I have to try my best not to put my feelings out on her,” Chelsea saysc carefully about how little time Adam spends with his daughter. In very diplomatic fashion, she adds: “He’s still her dad. She still has her own feelings about it so I kind of have to keep my feelings to myself and let her have her own little opinion. “I’m proud of her for being so mature, but it’s not even something a kid should have to deal with. “But I think that we’ve always been so open with her and let her accept her feelings and try to explain things to her as best as we can.” Issues surrounding Lind and his inability to co-parent have persisted for as long as Chelsea has been in the spotlight. As we examine down below, it has raised a pressing question among Teen Mom fans: Should Cole just adopt Aubree? Let’s explore… View Slideshow: Adam Lind Lets Aubree Down Yet Again: Should Cole Adopt Her?!

Florida Woman Arrested After Swinging Bag of Puppies in Bar

Watch out, there's a new  Florida Woman  on the loose. A woman in Pompano Beach was arrested for animal abuse after she showed up to a bar with puppies stuffed into her bag. Not only were the puppies not getting enough air, but things got worse when the woman began swinging the bag around. Oh no! Broward Sheriffs arrested Teresa Gardner for animal abuse back in December. 2018 was a year of nonstop stress and unrelenting news cycles, which is perhaps why this outlandish story is  now  making the rounds. Gardner was charged with multiple counts, including tormenting animals and resisting arrest. Witnesses report having seen Gardner swinging the backpack around. She reportedly struck the bag on tables and benches. That would be unacceptable behavior under any circumstances, but the bag's contents made her conduct infinitely worse. Before coming to the Briny Irish Pub located off East Atlantic Boulevard, Gardner had stuffed four chihuahua puppies into her backpack. (We should note that some sources say that the mother of the puppies was also in the bag, but not all reports mention her presence) It is not clear where the chihuahuas originated before they were placed in the bag. Though Gardner initially pulled back and said “no” when police attempted to take the bag, they were able to rescue the puppies. Sadly, the dogs appeared to be crying and the police report says that they had been tormented by the ordeal. Furthermore, they were apparently so cramped within the bag that the four-week-old puppies were not getting enough oxygen. (Note: these are not the puppies in question, but much happier chihuahua puppies for a visual reference) The one piece of good news is that all of the puppies survived. Authorities took the small family of dogs to an animal rescue clinic. Veterinarians say that the puppies do not have any broken bones and do not have any severe bruises. However, handlers did note that the dogs were traumatized by the ordeal, and may have been traumatized even before they were stuffed into the bag. Notably, the chihuahua mother was deeply protective of the puppies and does not appear to trust any humans, even the caring veterinary staff, around her puppies. Given their experiences, that is very understandable. Gardner was held on $500 bond, which unfortunately shows you how seriously our court system takes animal abuse. Authorities themselves were horrified, and expressed their dismay at how anyone could do such a thing. For that matter, a spokesperson for the police expressed confusion over why anyone would bring a bag full of puppies into a bar to begin with. We hesitate to call this a “new low” for Florida Woman, because she's hit rock bottom before. But this is the kind of evil, despicable deed that you read about, only for it to keep you up, nights later, as you wonder what those puppies experienced. What a nightmare.

Jared Fogle: Living Like a King, Reigning Over His Convict Subjects in Prison!

Last year, disgraced former Subway spokesman Jared Fogle lost his appeal . But for all of his efforts to regain his freedom, his 15-year-sentence doesn’t sound too rough. According to a man who spent months in bars alongside him, Jared is living his best life. That’s kind of disappointing, right? Despite his many efforts to win his freedom, Jared Fogle remains behind bars, where he belongs. But just a couple of weeks ago, 41-year-old Marc Brooks was released from the same facility. Brooks had spent eight months serving his sentence alongside the disgraced former sandwich spokesman. And he tells The Daily Mail that Jared’s time behind bars isn’t exactly The Shawshank Redemption . “‘Yo, he’s living the life in there,” Brooks characterizes. He continues: “he’s eating good, working out, cooking…not a care in the world.” “It’s like Club Fed,” Brooks assesses. “They’ve got a movie theater, a fully-equipped gym with weights, ellipticals, StairMasters, cable weights.” “Outside,” he continues. “They have a baseball field, tennis court, soccer field, horse shoe pits, a bocce ball court and corn hole.” Of Fogle, Brooks says: “He got his culinary arts certificate while all these other sex offenders were getting their GEDs and stuff. I took the photos.” We’re not sure who would want to knowingly eat food prepared by an infamous pedophile, but that’s neither here nor there. “Subway Guy is in the low security section,” Brooks shares. “He’s in a dry cell, that means the door is never locked.” So, Brooks explains, “he can wander around and use the phone, use the computers, use the movie theater, whatever he wants.” That makes a kind of sense. Fogle probably isn’t a danger to the guards unless it’s a poorly conceived take-your-child-to-work-day. “When I first got there I was like ‘man, you guys have got it made in here!’ I couldn’t even believe it was a prison,” Brooks says. Notably, people are much more likely to emerge from prison reformed when they are treated like actual people while behind bars. “It’s more like a daycare than a prison,” Brooks marvels. “There’s a hobby section there for painting, leather work…there’s people making little toy cars, carpentry,” he says. “There’s dudes in there who do crochet and knitting,” he adds. Brooks also reports the existence of pool tables, ping pong, and dart boards. “He gets a lot of down time, there’s a recreation station with cards, Monopoly, Risk,” Brooks says of Fogle. “So,” he says. “He can sit outside in the sun and chill with his little sex offender buddies.” “He’s getting money that he can spend in the commissary store,” Brooks notes. Not so long ago, Jared Fogle was worth $15 million. “They have fancy snacks in there,” he characterizes. “Stuff like candy, chips, meats, tuna, mackerel, real nice foods.” Despite that, Fogle is apparently looking healthier than ever. “He looks real healthy and fit,” Brooks says of the disgraced former spokesman. “I’d say he’s about 180-200 pounds,” Brooks estimates. “He’s 6’2′ so that’s about perfect.” Sure, though of course ideal weight has to do with many health factors, not just height. But it’s Jared Fogle, so we’re not terribly invested. “When I first got there I would make fun of him,” Brooks says, noting that Fogle was an easy target for ridicule. “We’d shout things like, ‘hey Subway are you going to try and get a job at Quiznos or Jimmy John’s next?'” Brooks says. Apparently, Brooks was serving time after an arrest by the Bad Joke Police. “After that I just kept my mouth shut,” he says. “I didn’t want to go anywhere near him or his nasty sex offender buddies.” “There’s one sex offender on the range making little stuffed animals,” Brooks accuses. “What’s he going to do with them when he gets out? It’s horrible.” There’s a difference between someone honing a craft for work or therapy and someone perfecting skills that they could use as a predator. “I was totally grossed out by all the pedophiles in there,” Brooks admits. “Sometimes you’d want to punch them, because of the disgusting stuff they would say, but I never did that,” he shares. He explains: “I didn’t want to mess up and get extra time, I wanted to get home to my momma and my sister.” That sounds very reasonable. It’s not the gross thoughts of pedophiles that make them so reprehensible. It’s the lives that their actions ruin. View Slideshow: 21 Celebrities You Probably Want to Keep Away From Your Children

‘RHOAS11’ Recap: Kandi Makes A Surprising Gesture Toward Porsha

See the article here:

Source: Tasia Wells / Getty The Real Housewives of Atlanta crew is still in Tokyo! Now it’s time for Eva’s second official bachelorette party. Tanya is hosting the party and planned a mix of culture with the typical bachelorette stuff so this is going to be interesting. NeNe comes through and acts weird the entire time. She’s basically taking her drama with Gregg out on everyone. But things get really amusing when the Japanese stripper comes through. He doesn’t speak English but it’s an interesting experience as he dances in a g-string and socks, and is generally very ironically reserved. He even bows after finishing his dance. This type of stripper culture is obviously super far off from what these ATLiens are used to, but they made due, and definitely cracked jokes.   Once the stripper leaves, Tanya introduces some games. The first game was where they’re supposed to dress in the most outlandish Harajuku-inspired looks they can, but they don’t like Tanya’s game so they shift to more traditionally raunchy bachelorette stuff. Then they take the party out on the town and have a blast. The next day, NeNe gets a chance to speak to Gregg on the phone and tells him she didn’t have a good time on the trip because of what’s going on between them. She’s exhausted nurturing him all the time and not having anyone to lift her up. Plus she doesn’t like who Gregg has become with cancer. Cynthia comes to check on her so she cuts the conversation with Gregg short, but this is the moment she finally gets to break down. She comes to tears as she explains to Cynthia that she’s tired of being strong all the time and that she sometimes needs to be vulnerable. Cynthia is all ears and very supportive like a good girlfriend should be. The next day, they hit the town for a samurai lesson. That turns out to be a clumsy, but fun experience. Then we find Eva and NeNe kicking it later on and the next thing you know NeNe gets flowers and a card. It’s from Gregg and he’s offering a deep apology. He apologizes for the pain he inflicted on her, tells her he loves her and asks her to let him back into her heart. NeNe is crying so hard she can barely stand it but it seems like it’s happy tears. Finally, Eva brings the group together for a final dinner in Tokyo. They discuss their highs, lows, hopes, dreams, and plans. They’re actually supportive of each other and there’s actually no drama or cattiness.  Then comes the moment where Kandi surprises everyone by telling Porsha that she feels crappy about some of the things she said about Dennis because she experienced that behavior from people with Todd, and Todd turned out to be amazing. So she understands how Porsha feels and apologizes for her behavior with regard to that. Porsha accepts her apology and is committed to moving forward and having better communication between them with hopes that they can once be cool again like they were. They hug it out just in time to head back to Atlanta!

Hate It Or Love It?! Donald Glover Poured Some Bleach On His Beard And Fans Are Cloroxically Confused

Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Donald Glover Is Proudly Rocking A Newly Blond Beard Donald Glover is turning heads with his new look…and not everyone is loving whatever’s going on in the lower quadrant of his face. The multi-talented musician was spotted at frequent collaborator Ludwig Göransson’s pre-Grammy party on Friday night, where he debuted a brand new bleached beard. This change comes as a surprise to many not only because of just how different Glover looks with this new beard, but because he’s not really known to switch up his style much–especially when it comes to hair. Back in 2012–when Donald was in the thick of his role as Danny Pud on Community –he had a much shorter hairstyle, but in the nearly 7 years since, the man also known as Childish Gambino has been rocking the same locks. While he’s gone back and forth between growing and shaving a beard, that’s really the most we’ve seen Glover switch it up for nearly a decade, which is why this blond beard is so damn weird. That, and the fact that he dyed his beard in the first place. Though the consensus among fans isn’t completely one-sided, there’s a looot of people who really aren’t feeling it–and the comparisons are absolutely hilarious. Spencer Pratt anyone?

Girl, Bye! Ungreased Scalp Sister Candace Owens Sunkenly Says THIS About Hitler

Source: The Washington Post/Contributor / Getty The sunken sister strikes AGAIN… Candace Owens Gets Dragged For Hitler Comments Another day, another embarrassing Candace Owens take. Our (least favorite) sunken sister is going viral, no, not for rehashing those Kanye “Blexit” shirt shenanigans but for comments she made on Hitler and nationalism. The public  puppet provocateur opened her unCarmexed mouth to spew some ideas about the Nazi Party leader that well, just don’t make a lick of sense, whether the deliverer is a conservative curmudgeon/blatant bootlicker or not. “If Hitler just wanted to make Germany great and have things run well, OK, fine,” said Candace in response to an audience question at a British Turning Point conference about nationalism. “The problem is that he wanted, he had dreams outside of Germany. He wanted to globalize.” Here is video of Candace Owens' full answer on nationalism and Hitler pic.twitter.com/NfBvoH8vQg — John Whitehouse (@existentialfish) February 8, 2019 Candace, Candy, Confused Baby Girl—-it sounds like you’re saying local genocide is A-okay. You know you can just sit there and eat your food, right? That’s always an option. She’s since defended her statements and added that Hitler wasn’t a nationalist, he was a mass murderer. Both can be true, but…carry on. “Nationalism is sort of conflated with, for some reason, Hitler,” she said. “That’s really, really wrong and we that we have to almost correct the record on that,” she added. “He wasn’t a nationalist. He was a homicidal, psychotic maniac,” she said of the German dictator. Was Hitler a nationalist? (And Leftist journalists are still insane). https://t.co/ulxZXCWquh — Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) February 8, 2019 What do YOU think about Candace Owens’ dry scalped thoughts—people are rightfully PISSED and that Just For Me relaxer’s getting sweated out with shade.
