Lisa Vanderpump: Not Returning to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills!

It seems the time has come for Lisa Vanderpump to finally pass down her crown.  Okay please, that will never happen. But it is time for her to hang up her housewife hat and bid farewell to her Bravo frenemies.  Believe it or not,  after months of Lisa dancing around the topic , we finally have answers. LVP is officially done with The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. “I think they’ve made it pretty impossible for me to go back frankly,” she told Daily Mail on Tuesday, June 4 when asked about her return on next season. “So…no.” “Lisa will not be returning to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills ,” a close source to Lisa confirmed to Radar Online .  “She’s moving on to bigger and better things.” Vanderpump, an original cast member, made headlines last November when word came out that she would probably be exiting the reality show after the ninth season.  “Lisa will appear in the majority of episodes this season,” a production source told E! News in November 2018.  “She has not been filming at every event, but fans can expect to see her throughout.” “The show will return to Bravo in early 2019.” And that it did, as we all know by now!  After the show’s premiere, we were served with the puppygate drama between Lisa, Teddi Mellencamp, Dorit Kemsley, and Kyle Richards. The 76-year-old (!!!) even took a lie detector test to back up her noble character — it was a drama filled season, to say the least. “I just felt very emotional, very raw… I thought I’ve been through this on season four, I’ve been through this on season six,” Lisa shared to Andy Cohen about not filming in larger groups after the fight.  “When you go through a really kind of desperate time yourself, the people that are there next to you, holding your hand and supporting you, I think will forever be etched in your mind as the people that got you through something.” “I think the people that maybe aren’t there, you suddenly realize that you could possibly do without,” she shared.  “It depends. I can’t say,”  Lisa said on the  RHOBH after show when asked about her return months back.  She also said she wasn’t watching the season because “it’s not fun being the recipient of everyone ganging up on you.” We can only imagine! So we totally understand her final and recent decision to not rejoin the cast.  And while the British socialite isn’t looking to move forward with the series, she also isn’t interested in revisiting the past.  Lisa shared that she does not plan on attending the upcoming season 9 reunion of the hit Bravo reality show.  “The objective of the reunion is to reunite, right?” she asks.  “And I have no inclination to reunite with the women who’ve been harassing me for 10 months now.” “So in all probability, no,” she told the DailyMail.  Though she initially considered filming the reunion, at the end of the day, “she realized she is done with that part of her life,” the source explained. But forget the drama (if you can) , Lisa is focusing on something WAY more important — The Trevor Project. In an exclusive statement to Radar , Lisa said, “As we kick off National GayPride Month I’m so honored to once again lend my voice to The TREVOR PROJECT.” “They have been the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to LGBTQ youth under 25 since 1998.” “Today, nearly one out of four pre- and early teen suicides were among LGBTQ youth,” she wrote to raise awareness.  “We ALL must change this narrative and provide the [emotional] support, understanding and positive reinforcement that our youth warrant and deserve.”  So yeah, Lisa Vanderpump still reigns. And even though she is taking a step back from her housewife performance, she will still be in the spotlight thanks to her Vanderpump Dog Foundation and her very own Vanderpump Rules.  View Slideshow: 14 Best Lisa Vanderpump Quotes… Ever!

Dog’s Most Wanted Promo: Beth Chapman is Fighting for Her Life

Beth Chapman has taken a break from feuding with her stepdaughter to promote a new trailer for Dog's Most Wanted . In the new promo, Duane “Dog The Bounty Hunter” Chapman acknowledges his wife's cancer. In fact, it's relevant to the message that he wants to send to fugitives. Take a look: “Duane ‘Dog’ Chapman here,” Duane begins in this new clip shared by WGN. He stands before the camera, framed by darkness n a way that makes his nearly platinum hair seem brighter and his skin seem pinker. Beside him, Beth stands in an intense wig that forms a mane around her as they both stare at viewers. “My wife, the love of my life, is fighting for her life,” Duane shares. “Instead of being at home helping her,” he says. “I’m out here looking for you.” Duane hopes that any fugitives who happen to for some reason be watching this promo take his warning to heart. “I’m warning you in advance,” he cautions. “May God have mercy on you when I get you,” He doubles down on his warning: “because I won’t.” The implication here is that he will take out his frustrations over his wife's horrific cancer battle upon any fugitives he encounters. “You've been warned,” Beth chimes in. Beth Chapman is grappling with throat cancer which, once in remission, has returned and spread. “I don’t go to God and go, ‘Why did I get cancer?’” Beth shared earlier this year. “He’ll roll his eyes at me again,” Beth predicted. “Because I know why.” Beth explained that she believes that she has cancer “because this is the ultimate test of faith.” Whatever opinions any of us may have about that, theologically or medically, we don't feel the need to debate a cancer patient. “It is the evidence of things hoped for,” Beth expressed. “And it is the substance of things not known.” We think that she's describing faith, there, not cancer itself. Beth also explained why she was happier on the road, filming with her family, than receiving treatments that might prolong or even save her life. “Chemotherapy is not my bag, people,” Beth stated. “Sorry, that’s not for me.” “So for me, this is the ultimate test of faith,” she explained. “This is my ultimate lesson.” “And it will either be taught to me or to you,” Beth shared. We suppose that who learns the lesson is contingent upon Beth's ultimate fate. “And I am fine with taking the hit for everyone else,” Beth expressed. “Because,” she explained. “I think I know another guy who did the same thing.” Some might have gone with a Job analogy for Beth's suffering, but she skipped right to Jesus. Some may question why Beth would spend what may be her final months filming a show that some consider clownish or embarrassing. We would point out that, perhaps accidentally, Dog's Most Wanted has helped to highlight some real problems in our justice system. Almost all laws related to bounty hunters have been on the books since the 1800s. Though Duane is more careful (and, of course, on camera), some bounty hunters barge into the wrong house. People have died. Something has to change. But that's not why Beth is staying on the show. She wants to be with the people she loves, doing what she loves, for as long as she can.

Flaw Enforcement: 96% Of People Arrested In Shreveport, Louisiana For “Sagging Pants Law” Are Black Men Since 2007

Source: Roberto Machado Noa / Getty 96% Of Sagging Pants Arrests In Shreveport Have Been Black Men Since 2007 Look, we get it. Some people truly abhor seeing men walk around a$$ed out with their pants sagging below their waist, but this is f***ing ridiculous. According to Shreveport Times , ever since ordinance 50-167 was passed into law in 2007, a law prohibiting sagging pants in public, there have been 726 arrests made. Of those 726, 699 of them are Black men in comparison to the 12 white men arrested. That’s right, 12. Additionally, 13 Black women were arrested for this crime in comparison to 1 white woman. This means that 98% of the people placed into the criminal justice system behind this law are Black, 96% are Black men. Tuesday, City Councilwoman LeVette Fuller proposed to abolish the law prohibiting the public wearing of pants below the waist, exposing the skin or undergarments. At least three national news outlets reported on the proposal in connection with the death of Anthony Childs that occurred during an officer-involved shooting. For those unaware, Anthony Childs was shot at eight times by a cop, SPD Officer Traveion Brooks, three of those shots hit him. A reported self-inflicted shot to the chest ultimately killed Childs. The officer was trying to stop Childs because his pants were sagging. This law is racist as HELL.

People Respond To Gillette’s Ad Featuring A Black Father Teaching His Trans Son To Shave For The First Time

Source: picture alliance / Getty Earlier this year, Gillette released a commercial asking that men do away with their toxic behaviors. They filmed an entire commercial documenting these behaviors and simply asked men to do better  because these types of attitudes and behaviors have been harmful to not only women but other men. Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news.  ( Terms and conditions ). Because people are not always here for progress, the commercial received quite a bit of backlash. And while a lesser company might have stepped away from making sociopolitical messages in their advertising, in order to protect their profits, they actually doubled down. This newly unveiled commercial features a father teaching his trans son how to shave for the first time. And while there was also criticism for this ad, we’re going to focus on the people who loved it.

Lamar Odom Details Love Affair With Taraji P. Henson: “I Don’t Think I Ever Connected With Another Black Woman As Deeply As I Did With Taraji”

Source: Kevork Djansezian / Getty Former NBA star Lamar Odom is literally going hard in the paint to promote his memoir, “Darkness to Light,” and is revealing some truly jaw dropping tidbits along the way. While we’ve known him for his athletic ability, his celebrity marriage to Khloe Kardashian , and the subsequent drug use which almost resulted in death, Odom shared that prior to taking vows with Khloe, he was once head over heels for Empire actress Taraji P. Henson . Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news.  ( Terms and conditions ). “We ended up exchanging numbers. She was just such a wise woman that she could see through whatever smooth act I was trying to put on,” Odom wrote. “She refused to be just another conquest, and truthfully, I didn’t want her to be.” Odom and Henson met and began dating sometime in 2008 around the same time when Henson’s son Marcel was 14 years ago, according to his account. Though we may have not been aware of their coupledom, it looks like Odom was Henson’s date at a 2009 Golden Globe after party. He called that period one of the “happiest times in his life.” “We started secretly dating and quickly fell in love,” he continued. Sign Up For Our Newsletter! Close Thank you for subscribing!

Since that time Henson has of course moved on and is currently planning her nuptials to former NFL player Kelvin Hayden. But it’s interesting to see Odom be so open and honest about how he feels knowing he let a go thing go.
