John Legend: Shoot-Out at Kim Kardashian Robbery?

John Legend, long-time family friend of the Kardashians, recently opened up about Kim’s Paris robbery to XM Radio’s Sway in the Morning, and truth be told, he brought the realness in a big way.  About the heist, Legend said , “People were criticizing, you know, security, this and that.”  “But five people with guns come up?” he asked.  “I don’t care if you’ve got two or three security people, they got to back up,” he proclaimed.  “You don’t want to get in a gun fight.”  “You’ve got five armed guys coming; there’s not really much you can do to stop that,” he admitted.  “Just give them what they want and escape with your life, you know?”  “[There was no way to prepare for Kim’s] one-in-a-billion situation,” he concluded.  However, it would appear that he took a shot at Kardashian and her social media ways, using them as a cautionary tale. “[You] have to be careful about [Snapchatting] and things like that,” he said.  “Because people know exactly where you are.”  Despite Kim’s TMI social practices, Legend maintained his Kardashian defense.  “You just can’t go through life in fear all the time,” he said.  “And we try not to.”  Kim has since  emerged in public  for the first time after the robbery – over two weeks later – looking very demure and very down, and honestly, who can blame her?  Though rumors swirled that  the robbery didn’t happen , or that Kanye West himself staged the robbery, Kardashian sued the publication fabricating the rumors.  Kardashian seems to be on the mend, however. Not only did Keeping Up With the Kardashians celebrate nine years of putting us through hell, it was reported that production on the reality show resumed as normal, after being suspended shortly after the hold-up.  Though many thought the show would be cancelled after the drama, that same many apparently forgot that the Kardashians thrive on drama to continue their brand. Of course they wouldn’t toss nine years’ worth of work in the trash.  John Legend is absolutely right, though – you don’t bring a Kardashian … or anything else for that matter … to a gun fight.  And also, Kim really needs to exercise a whole lot more discretion with her personal life than she has in the past.  For her sake, but also for ours.

Sara Ramirez Comes Out as Bisexual

Sara Ramirez has made a major admission about her personal life: She is bisexual. The actress, best known for her long-running role as Callie Torres on Grey’s Anatomy, made this admission on Saturday in Los Angeles at the 40 To None Summit. This is what Ramirez said to those in attendance at the event: “So many of our youth experiencing homelessness are youth whose lives touch on many intersections, whether they be gender identity, gender expression, race, class, sexual orientation, religion, citizenship status. “And because of the intersections that exist in my own life – woman, multiracial woman, woman of color, queer, bisexual, Mexican-Irish American, immigrant, and raised by families heavily rooted in Catholicism on both my Mexican & Irish sides – I am deeply invested in projects that allow our youth’s voices to be heard.” Ramirez went on to say that she wants to “support our youth in owning their own complex narratives so that we can show up for them in the ways they need us to.” Following the appearance, Ramirez shared the quote on Twitter and Instagram. She also wrote the following: “#40ToNoneSummit #SpeakingMyTruth! Will post full video of speech soon! #ThankYou @TrueColorsFund #WomanOfColor #Bisexual #Queer #Immigrant.” In a separate Tweet, the beloved TV star added: ”#ThankYou @TrueColorsFund 4 the work you do 2 end #LGBTQ #YouthHomelessness & your support #Woman #Latinx #Bisexual #Intersectionality.” Ramirez is married to Ryan DeBolt. They wed in 2012. She came on board Grey’s Anatomy full-time on Season 2 of the ABC series. At that time, she served as a love interest to George O’Malley, but she eventually married a fellow female doctor a few years after George was killed in a bus accident. So this ended up being an example of art mirroring real life. The 40 to None Summit was named after the 40 percent of youth experiencing homelessness who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. The actress left Grey’s Anatomy after 10 years this past May, a move that surprised show creator and executive producer Shonda Rhimes. “This one was different because it wasn’t a big planned thing,” Rhimes said at the Vulture Festival in NYC on May 22 of Ramirez departing. “I had a different plan going and when Sara came in and said, ‘I really need to take this break,’ I was lucky that we’d shot the end of the season with her going to New York.” We wouldn’t be surprised if Ramirez returns to the series at some point. We congratulate her on this brave announcement. She joins the following celebrities as stars who are out as bisexual: View Slideshow: 34 Bisexual Celebrities

Tom Hiddleston: I Will Not Speak About Taylor Swift!

Tom Hiddleston and Taylor Swift were an item for a few months.  Their relationship was the subject of much controversy down to just how quickly Swift rebounded from her relationship with Calvin Harris.  When Taylor and Tom became a thing, the internet couldn’t help but scrutinize Taylor for moving swiftly on.  They had one of the most interesting relationships in recent memory.  Fans were at odds, wondering whether the whole relationship was a gigantic publicity stunt.  If it was a publicity stunt, then the two stars succeeded in getting a lot of that.  Their relationship was pretty much everywhere.  You know you’re in good graces with Taylor Swift when she invites you to her Independence Day soirée.  Her guest list generally includes her squad and their partners.  Basically, get on Taylor’s squad and you’ll be invited.  Tom recently sat down with his pal, Benedict Cumberbatch for October issue of Interview .  Benedict made it clear that Taylor would not be mentioned in the interview.  This is not the first interview in which Tom did not speak about Swift . “There’s another weight of us being in the public eye, which is this presumption that, because your work and your promotion work is very public, your private life should be, too,” Cumberbatch stated. “And, without getting into a huge debate, I just want to say that I’m not going to ask questions about my friend’s personal life just because there are unsolicited photographs of him and a certain someone, in a relationship or together,” the Sherlock actor continued. “I’m not going to get into that. So that door is closed, dear reader.” One of the topics Hiddleston did open up about was filming Thor: Ragnarok in Australia.  If you recall, Taylor was with Tom in Australia, so the next part might have something to do with her.  “You’ve got to do something, even if it’s just to kick-start the day,” he told Cumberbatch. “I use music. And running. I find that, when I’m working, if I start the day with a run—outside, not in a gym, but just me out there in the elements, with only my own legs to propel me forward … It’s something to do with just being in the world and getting out of my own head.” It is a bit disheartening that he didn’t publicly mention his relationship with Taylor, but maybe he’s trying to keep things classy.  Maybe Taylor has told Kanye West about the relationship and Kim Kardashian will use it to call her out on Keeping Up with the Kardashians .  That’s what happened with the whole Taylor being used on Kanye’s music video fiasco.  It made for a great episode of the reality hit, but it was convoluted.  It would not be the first time.  What do you think about all of this? Hit the comments below! View Slideshow: Tom Hiddleston: 8 Things to Know About Taylor Swift’s New Bae

Nate Parker Doesn’t Want His Controversy To ‘Hijack’ Talk At TIFF

While promoting ‘The Birth of a Nation’ at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival, Nate Parker avoided questions about his rape allegations because he didn’t want his personal life to “hijack” talk of the film.

Kristen Stewart: Robert Pattison And I Were NOT Bella and Edward

Kristen Stewart is only just recovering from her wildly famous relationship with Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson. Not because she still pines for him, but because of the phenomenon it had snowballed into. Stewart and Pattinson hit it off while filming the first installment of the Twilight saga.  When fans found out that Bella and Edward were dating IRL, a sort of fantasy was created that Stewart found impossible to live up to. “People wanted me and Rob to be together so badly that our relationship was made into a product,” Stewart told T magazine. “It wasn’t real life anymore. And that was gross to me,” she continued. “It’s not that I want to hide who I am or hide anything I’m doing in my life. It’s that I don’t want to become a part of a story for entertainment value.” It got to the point where Stewart suffered anxiety on the regular, so much so that she told Elle Magazine recently that she  got sick every morning . That might have been why she ended up having an affair with her Snow White and the Huntsman director, Rupert Sanders in the summer of 2012.  He was married at the time to British model Liberty Ross, and Stewart was still very much with Pattinson. Stewart, perhaps more famous for her reticent nature off-camera, wanted nothing to do with the level of fame she experienced. “I’m not the typical showman. But at the same time, I want so badly to expose myself,” she said.  “I want to be understood and I want to be seen, and I want to do that in the rawest, purest, most naked way I can.” These days, Stewart has managed to survive the public backlash from that summer, though it did take a while for her to weather the storm. Stewart is now in a relationship with producer Alicia Cargile , and she couldn’t be more proud to show off a relationship where she finally feels like herself. View Slideshow: 32 Bisexual Celebrities “I would never talk about any of my relationships before, but once I started dating girls it seemed like there was an opportunity to represent something really positive,” Stewart said. “I still want to protect my personal life, but I don’t want to seem like I’m protecting the idea, so that does sort of feel like I owe something to people.”

Alice Kim: Cheating on Nicolas Cage Before Separation?!

A cheating scandal was reportedly the catalyst behind Nicolas Cage‘s sudden split with his wife – and Alice Kim was the one stepping out. The 52-year-old eccentric, financially irresponsible Oscar winner and his 32-year-old spouse announced their separation late last week. They had been married since 2004 and have one child together. It’s not his first divorce – or his second – but what makes Nicolas Cage and Alice Kim ‘s breakup so surprising is this latest revelation: She was cheating on him! Publicly and for quite awhile now! “All while he was at the Cannes film festival,” a source close to the situation told Radar Online, detailing Kim’s betrayal of Cage. The actor, to put things mildly, “was blindsided when he was confronted with allegations that Alice had been cheating on him.” “The reality is that Alice has been regularly spotted in Nevada with another man – and was even caught kissing him behind Nick’s back.” Soon after, Cage interrogated his wife about the claims, which made their way to him via an unnamed business associate. His publicist then issued a statement claiming that the two have been separated and living apart since January of this year. The identity of her alleged paramour has not been revealed. Cage had been living with Kim and their 10-year-old son Kal-El near Summerli, Nev., about 30 minutes from the Las Vegas strip. She is Cage’s third wife, following his original marriage to Patricia Arquette and his short-lived union with Lisa Marie Presley. Alice and Nicolas met in February 2004 when she served him while she was working as a waitress in a Los Angeles restaurant. They were engaged two months later. Very little is known about the notoriously private star’s personal life, but Cage was arrested for domestic abuse against Alice in 2011. During the outburst, a drunk Cage allegedly grabbed Kim by the arm, began hitting parked cars and dared police officers to arrest him. The cops obliged, but Dog the Bounty hunter bailed him out of a New Orleans jail (seriously) and Alice declined to press charges. So, basically all was right with the world.

Lauren Conrad Confirms There Will Be More of The Hills

Why does 2006 feel like two years ago? As I wonder where the last decade went, the rest of you can mark your calendars, because MTV is premiering a 10th anniversary special of The Hills , which starred Lauren Conrad, Heidi Montag, Audrina Patridge and Whitney Port. “Today is the 10th anniversary of The Hills! I am excited to announce that @MTV will premiere an anniversary special with me on Tuesday 8/2,” Conrad tweeted. The lifestyle expert also wrote a post on her site about the special, titled The Hills: That Was Then, This is Now , which featured an image of her fixing the hem of a dress as a cameraman lingered behind. “Ten years ago, The Hills aired on MTV for the first time. (That’s right people, it’s been ten whole years! Can we all feel old together, please?),” she wrote, adding that she had done something she hadn’t done “in over a decade.” She sat down and watched the pilot. “It was odd watching all of us just starting out, with no idea what the future held (although, no one really could have prepared us for what the next few years would bring). “Looking back, I am grateful for the incredible opportunity we were given to take part in this show. “While it was hard at times to share my personal life (poor makeup choices and all) with the world; the experience taught me so much and forever altered my life and my outlook for the better. I am so proud of the show.” Conrad thanked production for a show that documented (and, she admitted, created) the ups and down in her life. “As hard as it is to look back (other than watching the pilot, I haven’t watched any episodes since they first aired), it brings me a lot of joy to see that now, despite all the challenges we faced together back then, each of us seems to have found what we were looking for. ” Conrad will dedicate the MTV special to the fans, whom she thanked for being there from the beginning We will be having an honest conversation about what it was really like living with cameras for so many years (spoiler alert: it was super weird), sharing some behind-the-scene secrets, and showing some of my life today,” she wrote. “And since this is all for you, please let me know below if there are any questions you have or if there is anything you would like to see addressed. XO Lauren ” Not one to let the entire spotlight shine on her ex-bestie, Montag tweeted a shout-out as well: “Happy 10 year anniversary to #TheHills ! Thank you God & @MTV for changing my life. The rest is still unwritten.”

Rumor Control: Derek Fisher Finally Speaks Up About His Matt Barnes-Gloria Govan Fade

Derek Fisher’s First Public Comments About His Fight With Matt Barnes After months of letting the speculation bubble, Derek Fisher is finally speaking via TheCauldron about the infamous fight he had with former teammate Matt Barnes over Gloria Govan… So let’s set the record straight on my personal life — specifically, my relationship with Gloria Govan and how it relates to Matt Barnes. First, I was stunned and disappointed by the way Gloria was treated in the media. After the much publicized (and unfortunate) situation went down in Los Angeles last year, story after story was published that portrayed her as a piece of property, instead of the strong, independent woman and mother she is; someone who is capable of making her own decisions. This is a human being we are talking about, not some pawn in a game. As far as Matt goes, to say that we had history before the incident would be an exaggeration. We played together for the Los Angeles Lakers during the 2010–11 season, and a couple months in the lockout-shortened 2011–12 season. That’s it. That’s the history. During that time, we were teammates, and never had any issues. We never had any real relationship off the court, either. Our kids didn’t hang out, our families didn’t interact. There were no birthday parties. There were no post-game dinners. We weren’t friends and we had no mutual friends. Turn the page to see Derek’s interpretation of Gloria’s and Matt’s relationship status while he was knockin’ her boots. Image via AP/WENN
