Kylie Jenner: Is She Kim Kardashian’s Surrogate?!

Countless conspiracy theories have captured our nation’s imagination over the years. Was the moon landing fake? Did the CIA collaborate with a foreign government to assassinate JFK? What sort of hallucinogens did network execs to believe it was possible for Megyn Kelly to rebrand herself as Fun Time Morning Meg? All important questions, to be sure, but none of them will impact future generations quite as much as the goings-on within Kylie Jenner’s uterus. In case the cave you’re living in on Mars doesn’t have reliable wi-fi, allow us to fill you in on the news that rocked the celebrity gossip world last week: Kylie Jenner is pregnant , and her fans are triggered, and they can’t even, but they’re also like, “YAAAAS, KWEEN!!!” Are we doing this Millennial slang thing right? Anyway, the announcement came on the heels of news that Kim Kardashian is expecting a third child via surrogate . Not surprisingly, it didn’t take long before one of social media’s sharpest sleuths deduced (possibly while very stoned) that Kylie might be carrying Kim and Kanye’s child! Here’s the thing about this particular theory: We suppose it’s remotely possible … but it’s also profoundly stupid. For one thing, a number of biographical details about Kim’s surrogate have already been released. We know that she’s a married, African-American mother of two in her late twenties who lives in San Diego and has been a surrogate in the past. Since none of those things can be said of Kylie, we assume it’s safe to say that Kim didn’t hire her 20-year-old sister to  Actually, we’re pretty sure that was safe to say from the get-go. But this is 2017, a time in which many people operate under the belief that the most amusing explanation is probably the most accurate. As a result, the “Kylie is Kim’s surrogate” theory spread across social media with surprising speed. Is it nonsense? Of course it is! But as long as there’s the slightest possibility that it could be true, it’ll circulate on Twitter until the End Times. After all, this is the same internet that hears Alex Jones screaming that the Sandy Hook massacre was a hoax and Hillary Clinton is a literal lizard person from another planet, and encourages him to elaborate on his lunatic ramblings. Compared to psycho ravings like that, a tweet about Kylie carrying her sister’s baby seems pretty damn believable. We live in interesting times, folks.

Audrina Patridge: I Want Corey Bohan OUT of My House! He’s Unstable!

When news first broke that former The Hills stars  Audrina Patridge and Corey Bohan had split , some despaired. Others saw it as confirmation that reality TV couples just can’t last. It was the abuse accusations that Audrina has leveled against Corey that has people much more concerned. We were understandably alarmed to hear that there’s been a new incident, but Audrina and Corey are telling very different stories. Audrina Patridge’s abuse claims against Corey Bohan are, frankly, disturbing. Corey is accused of primarily emotional abuse, displaying anger issues and instability that at the very least make him a potential danger to himself. According to Audrina, he has even shoved her while she was holding their baby daughter, Kirra. Corey has reportedly also done things like empty out Audrina’s purse and harm himself in her presence, effectively blackmailing her into staying with him or he’ll “do worse.” Based upon that, a divorce sounds like absolutely the right call. They were together for 9 years and got married last November, so we are anxious to know if this had been going on in a gradually escalating manner all along … or if this is an altogether new behavior that manifested since they were married. We wonder if there’s some newly emerged medical issue that could be driving this … but either way, this couple shouldn’t be together. Unfortunately, when you’ve been an item for almost an entire decade, it’s difficult to extricate yourselves from each other’s lives. For example, they’ve been living in the same house … which is what brought them into conflict. Thus, this new incident. Entertainment Tonight obtained court documents that show both Audrina and Corey’s versions of what happened. What they can both agree on? Audrina and her father, Mark, returned to Audrina’s home in Irvine, California with the intention of collecting Audrina’s belongings. Within the court documents, Audrina alleges that Corey is “holding all of my personal possessions and my home hostage.” Audrina has stated that the house in which the couple lived was hers prior to their marriage. More than that, the two apparently have a prenup agreement that confirms that yes, Audrina is the sole owner of the house and will remain that. But, presumably because she is the one who fled from the home with Kirra and took up temporary residence at the home of her parents, a judge denied Audrina’s request to have Corey removed from her house. (Which sounds super unfair, but I imagine that laws are structured to make it difficult for one spouse to render the other homeless during a dispute — just a guess, though) When Audrina went with her parents, Corey allegedly cursed her out — part of a pattern that she has described in which he uses expletives and yells and cannot seem to keep from doing so in front of their baby. Audrina also accuses Corey of having installed additional surveillance devices in her house. (If you’ll recall, Audrina’s initial claims when they split and she sought a restraining order mentioned that part of Corey’s emotional abuse involved installing cameras in their home that he used to spy on her) She is once again imploring the court to remove Corey from her home. Corey’s side claims that Audrina and her family “literally barging in the house through the garage door” with only 15 minutes of notice. He says that he’d asked them to arrange a time when he wouldn’t be there. He claims that he hasn’t installed any new surveillance devices, that the only cameras are a nanny cam in the living room and a camera by the front door.  Corey claims that he did not yell or curse but merely “spoke calmly” to the Patridges, and says that Audrina’s father, Mark, was trying to instigate a fight. No matter what you believe about this couple and their conflicts, no part of this sounds good. View Slideshow: 14 Most Toxic Relationships in Reality TV History

Victoria Justice Still Needs Instagram Lessons

I’m still waiting for  Victoria Justice to take me up on my very generous offer to be her personal Insta-photographer, but for some reason, she hasn’t gotten back to me yet. So I guess we’re just going to have to put with more boring, ho-hum Instagram “photoshoots” like this for now. I mean, don’t get me wrong, Victoria’s still a total hottie, and my sweatpants are still around my ankles, but I won’t enjoy it!

Bikini Model Shows STUNNING Before-and-After Body Transformation!

This Australian model’s before-and-after bikini photos are stunning and reveal a dramatic transformation. Not the before-and-after transformation that you expect, maybe. But it’s exactly the sort of image that people need to see right now. La’Tecia Thomas is a bikini model. She’s done modeling in the past and she’s still doing it now. Then and now, she’s gorgeous. Honestly her features remind us of Megan Fox, and we do not say that lightly. All that’s really changed is, well, the size of the bikinis. There are a lot of body transformation photos in this world. In most cases, the “before” pic dwarfs the “after” photo, as someone maps their personal weight loss journey. La’Tecia’s story is a little different. Take a look at the comparison photo that she posted to Instagram that’s earning her a lot of love. Let’s be clear — she’s beautiful in both photos. But in the picture on the left, where she has rock-hard abs and a slender frame, she was miserable. In the snap on the right, she’s glowing with competence and, again, looks like a thicc Megan Fox. In her caption, La’Tecia tells the story behind the images. “I was going through my phone and I found this old photo of me back when I was training to compete in a bikini competition. So many people will look at this photo and make physical comparisons and say they would prefer me ‘before’. I prefer me at any weight as long as I’m happy.: First of all, as you can imagine, she’s gotten a lot of comments saying that they prefer her “after” photo.  And not just because the picture quality on the right is so much higher. “It’s okay to love yourself no matter what your size is.” That’s absolutely true! No matter what that one fat-shaming British mom who worried her daughter would “catch” being fat thinks. They say that increased confidence and self-love is the key to weight loss, but it’s also just a key to happiness. And then she talks about how different things were for her, before. “I remember how unhappy I was In the picture to the left, I would loathe certain parts of my body- particularly my bum/ thighs because that was and is the hardest part of my body to lose.” She was a size 8 at the time, but when you’re obsessed with weight-loss and sculpting your body, sometimes it’s hard to appreciate the results. It’s sad but true. “I had so many insecurities, I compared myself to other women and I lacked confidence.” Now, she radiates confidence. You can see that in every single picture. “Since changing my outlook on life and learning to embrace who I am, I know that hypothetically if I were to go back to what I used to be I would be so much happier and content than what I was because I’ve learned to love me.” Beautiful! “Your mental health is just as important as your physical. Also I’m not saying it’s okay to be inactive and make unhealthy choices, I think it’s about finding balance, listen to your body, you know what’s best for it.” Balance is the key to life. Her post has over 60,000 likes, and that number is growing. Different people’s bodies are wired to be different weights. Some find it easier than others to gain or lose fat or muscle mass. That’s just how things are. She’s found her balance and she’s clearly living her best life as a result. And … did we mention that she’s gorgeous? Because she’s gorgeous .

Walter Becker Dies; Steely Dan Musician Was 67

The world has lost yet another legendary musician today … Walter Becker, one of the co-founders of Steely Dan, passed away earlier this morning. He was only 67 years old. The announcement of his death was first made on his personal website, with no other information than the date of his birth and today’s date — the day he passed. As of now, we don’t know the cause of death, but we do know that he was having health problems earlier this summer that caused him to miss some Steely Dan concerts. Donald Fagen, the other co-founder of the band, said in July that ‘Walter’s recovering from a procedure and hopefully he’ll be fine very soon.” Tragically, as we know now, that was not to be the case. Walter and Donald founded Steely Dan together all the way back in 1972, with Walter playing guitar and bass and co-writing the songs with Donald. They were successful up until 1981 when they broke up, but they reunited in 1993, and they’ve been touring since then. Though we don’t have any details about Walter’s death at this time, we do have a touching tribute written by Donald for his longtime bandmate and friend. Read the tribute in full below: Walter Becker was my friend, my writing partner and my bandmate since we met as students at Bard College in 1967. We started writing nutty little tunes on an upright piano in a small siting room in the lobby of Ward Manor, a mouldering old mansion on the Hudson River that the college used as a dorm. We liked a lot of the same things: jazz (from the twenties through the mid-sixties), W.C. Fields, the Marx brothers, science fiction, Nabokov, Kurt Vonnegut, Thomas Berger, and Robert Altman films come to mind. Also soul music and Chicago blues. Walter had a very rough childhood — I’ll spare you the details. Luckily, he was smart as a whip, an excellent guitarist and a great songwriter. He was cynical about human nature, including his own, and hysterically funny. Like a lot of kids from fractured families, he had the knack of creative mimicry, reading people’s hidden psychology and transforming what he saw into bubbly, incisive art. He used to write letters (never meant to be sent) in my wife Libby’s singular voice that made the three of us collapse with laughter. His habits got the best of him by the end of the seventies, and we lost touch for a while. In the eighties, when I was putting together the NY Rock and Soul Review with Libby, we hooked up again, revived the Steely Dan concept and developed another terrific band. I intend to keep the music we created together alive as long as I can with the Steely Dan band. Our condolences to the people close to Walter — it sounds like he will be missed.

Michael Phelps and Nicole Johnson: Expecting Baby #2!

Olympic legend Michael Phelps and his wife Nicole are expecting their second child, the duo announced in dueling social media posts. Phelps and the former Nicole Johnson are already parents to a little boy named Boomer … who seems pretty hyped to be a big brother! The greatest swimmer ever wrote, alongside the photo above: “Number 2 on the way!!!! So excited!! Wonder if it’s a boy or a girl??” We too wonder this, but there’s no debating that Boomer is about as precious as it gets as he holds his mom’s pregnancy test. (Which we presume is positive, hence the post.) Added Nicole in her own Instagram post featuring the same photo of herself and her son, “Lil mans going to be a Big Brother!!!” The couple met in 2007, started dating in 2009 and temporarily broke up prior to the 2012 Summer Olympics before reuniting in 2014. Michael’s been with her through a lot of ups and downs in life, but never has he seemed happier than right here, right now. Not to be left out, Boomer, 15 months, says he’s looking forward to big brotherhood as well, according to his personal Instagram. “So excited to see what mama is having!! Do I get to have a brother or a sister?!?” Phelps and Johnson’s son “wrote” earlier. Nicole and Michael welcomed Boomer in May 2016, just months before he capped off his historic Olympic career in Rio that summer. They also got married last year – two times! Michael and Nicole, both 32, tied the knot in June and then wed again in late October during a larger event in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Clearly, parenthood suits them, as he said earlier this year they were already thinking about number two in terms of when, not it. “Nicole has recently brought up that she would like a girl!” Phelps told People. “We definitely want more kids, it just depends on when.” “I’m sure I’m getting pressure.” Hey, at least she knows the swimmer’s boys can … sorry, that’s not even that funny at the end of the day, but we couldn’t resist. Phelps said Nicole’s pregnancy with Boomer wasn’t planned, but this time around revealed, “[We’re] trying to get moving on some things!” “We are so fortunate to have a healthy and happy baby and hopefully more coming soon, but we don’t know when,” Michael added. “We’re going through life everyday happy and blessed with what we have. But I hope to have more kids in the future,” he said. Now in retirement, the winner of an eye-popping 23 Olympic medals from 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016 combined is quite content. View Slideshow: Nicole Johnson: 19 Photos of Michael Phelps’ Fiancee! He may miss the competition sometimes, but having devoted his whole life to the sport, extra time at home with the kid is great as well. So many milestones, every day. “I think that is the coolest thing, watching him grow,” he said of his adorable young son. “Just watching him figure out new things.” Congrats to the whole family!

See the article here:

Source: Matt Winkelmeyer / Getty Jay-Z ‘s 4:44  album is arguably his most personal project to date. Along with music, Hov has released music videos, short doc “Footnotes,”  as well as a detailed interview on Rap Radar’s podcast. It’s no surprise if the people Jigga talks about on the project will have something to say. Apparently, one of these people was his mom. Jigga raps about his mom’s sexuality on the track “Smile,” spitting, ““Mama had four kids, but she’s a lesbian / Had to pretend so long that she’s a thespian.” According to Jay-Z, Ms. Gloria Carter wasn’t happy about her personal life being spilled on wax. Jigga talked about it on Rap Radar, saying, “We had a beautiful conversation that led to me making that song and I didn’t have permission to make that song. When she first heard the song, she was like, ‘Absolutely not.’ I was like, ‘This is so important. So many people in the world are hiding. This will help them.’ That’s all I’ll say about that.” Jigga also said the track was one of his “proudest songs.” He continued, “I was just so happy of the person she’s becoming. Live your life, be who you are.” You can check out Jay-Z’s full Rap Radar interview on Tidal .
