Good news, readers: Not all flights conclude with a former reality star being taken away in handcuffs . Some, in fact, end with passengers reduced to tears as the result of an inspiring act by a fellow human being. This is one such story… An unnamed father on board a Virgin America flight from Boston to Los Angeles on Monday night didn’t want his three-year old daughter to miss out on Halloween. So he handed out candy to his fellow passengers and also gave them a note along with it. The note read as follows: My 3-year old daughter, Molly, was bummed that she wouldn’t be able to go trick-or-treating this year due to this flight… so I decided to bring trick-or-treating to her. If you are willing, when my little donut comes down the aisle, please drop this in her basket. You’ll be making her Halloween! If you’re unwilling, no worries, just pass the treat back to me. Thanks so much! Oh, yes, the little girl was dressed like a donut. Just in case you thought this tale couldn’t get any cuter. “OMG, my heart is exploding right now. Dad of the year just passed out candy to everyone on the flight so his 3 year old could trick or treat,” wrote a passenger who witnessed the act and then talked about it on Twitter. “He started handing out the treats… He handed them out mostly to folks in the aisle and middle seats,” this Twitter user, Stephanie, told BuzzFeed News . She added: “When I first got on the plane, I overheard the little girl talking about how she was excited to trick or treat. I felt sad because I was thinking about how when we landed in San Francisco it would be way too late to trick or treat.” Also making this story even better? The father did not want to be identified or quoted by Buzzfeed. He just wanted to make his little girl happy. That was it.

Stephanie told the dad that she Tweeted about him during the flight and the story had bee re-Tweeted 5,000 times already. “I could tell he was pretty humbled hearing that what he did caused such a positive reaction,” she said. “He obviously wasn’t doing it for the reaction he just was genuinely doing it for his daughter.”
Kris Jenner dressed up for Halloween this year. Or, to put it more accurately, Kris Jenner dressed down for Halloween this year. The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star, who turns 61 years old on Saturday, didn’t feel a need to act her age in a SnapChat video filmed by daughter Kylie Jenner on Monday night. Jenner preened and posed for the camera (as captured in the following still image from the video), while she dressed as a sexy version of Alice in Wonderland. Forget falling down a rabbit hole. One could fall down and get lost in the cleavage in display here! The Internet, however, didn’t come down too hard on Jenner for sexing up a classic fairy tale character or for trying to emulate the seductive poses of her daughter. Most users were actually impressed… As for other members of Jenner’s famous family? Sadly, Kim Kardashian sat out Halloween this year, following the trauma of that armed robbery in Paris. But Khloe Kardashain stepped up by going out for the occasion as Storm from X-Men… and also by making out a lot with boyfriend Tristan Thompson. To wit: View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson Make Out. HARD. Kylie, meanwhile, channeled Christina Aguilera from the music video “Dirrty,” which was creative and impressive. Except that Kylie was five years old when this music video came out. That made the outfit a bit weird and even sort of gross. Kourtney Kardashian, for her part, pulled double Halloween costume duty. For a night out with friends, she was some kind of vampire bride: For an evening with her kids, she was a Power Ranger: Makes sense, right?

Lena Dunham is never one to hold back with an opinion. The Girls writer, producer and creator is one of the more outspoken celebrities in Hollywood and she has a point to make when it comes to Kim Kardashian getting robbed at gunpoint in Paris this week. Are you ready to hear it? Speaking on Wednesday to Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club, Dunham referred to the act perpetrated against Kardashian as something that was “so awful.” The only thing worse, in a manner of speaking? Anyone making a quip at Kim’s expense this week. “What I really hate about this Kim thing is that people are feeling so much license to make jokes,” the 30-year-old star says. “That’s a human being.” It’s a similar point to the one James Corden made so clearly in a Tweet just hours after news of the robbery broke. Wrote the talk show host online at the time: It’s true. Think what you want about Kim Kardashian (any regular reader of The Hollywood Gossip knows that we have quite a few issues with the star), but do not dare to think that she somehow deserved this to happen to her. Don’t make light of the situation. Kardashian was bound and gagged by armed assailants in France early Monday morning. She begged for her life, telling the men that she had two little kids at home, and multiple sources have said Kardashian believed she was going to be raped . Can you possibly imagine being in that kind of situation?!? “You may not agree with everything she does, but that’s a woman and a mother and a daughter who just went through something so heinous,” Dunham added in the interview. “So, my heart is with Kim.” Amen, Lena. Preach on! According to TMZ insiders, Kardashian doesn’t take the blame for this horrible crime or anything. But she does acknowledge that flaunting her wealth as often as she has done on social media isn’t a great idea. Sources tell the website that Kim will take a few weeks off from posting at all… and when she does return to Twitter and/or Instagram, it will be with a far more subdued presence. Don’t expect her to share photos of her jewelry anymore or even promote her fashion line as often. “Material things mean nothing,” she has allegedly told friends behind the scenes since the robbery took place, finally realizing: “It’s not all about the money. It’s not worth it.” Karl Lagerfeld Blames Kim Kardashian for Robbery An investigation remains ongoing. Some are wondering whether the robbery was an inside job, others are pointing at the concierge, who was tied up with Kim in the bathroom of her apartment. He was especially calm under such duress, insiders claim, and he was eventually left unharmed in the lobby. Might he have been in on the whole thing? Elsewhere in her interview, Dunham touches on controversial remarks she made this summer about Odell Beckham Jr . “It seemed like I was accusing him of some kind of misogyny,” she said, adding that she inadvertently added to negative stereotypes and saying: “It was a great lesson to me in how your humor can be misconstrued. In the written word, it did not translate… I apologized immediately, I apologized to him privately.” Watch Dunham’s full interview below: Lena Dunham on The Breakfast Club
Angelina Jolie Gets Temporary Custody Of 6 Kids Angelina has won big time in the custody case of their 6 kids according to TMZ reports. The Brangelina divorce has turned up a few more notches as Brad voluntarily submitted to a drug test to dispel rumors that marijuana and alcohol have impaired his judgement as a parent. Sources sources close to the couple say DCFS has made its suggestions and Brad and Angelina had 2 options. Either take the deal or fight it out in court… — Angelina gets temporary physical custody of the 6 kids until Oct 20th. — Brad gets visitation, with strings attached. The initial visit is with a therapist present and the therapist then has the power to either allow Brad subsequent unmonitored visits or insist on being present whenever he’s around the kids. — Brad is subject to random drug/alcohol testing. As we reported, Angelina believes Brad has issues with alcohol and weed. Our law enforcement sources say Brad’s first test was negative for drugs and alcohol. — Brad and Angelina will each submit to individual counseling. In addition, Brad, Angelina and the kids will undergo family counseling together. Brad’s drug results have yet to come in but we hope the Hollywood couple can put aside their petty beef for the sake of their young children. WENN
Lourdes Leon is Madonna’s daughter, so in being Madonna’s daughter, you show your tits like they are some empowering tools to get them noticed, and thus to sell records, or whatever they are selling, because people are basic and think anything sexualized is scandalous and worth talking about. Her mom made a career pretending to be ironic with her nudity….when really she was just getting naked to get noticed…and it worked – seeing as she’s Madonna who has had this massive legacy, not just in the gay community….and she can’t even really sing. It’s brainwashing I like… So nipples on snapchat in lingerie at 19…for no reason…other than “tits are just tits” when tits do matter to the right pervert – which is most perverts…making it a good time for all… The post Lourdes Leon Madonna’s Daughter’s Nipples of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepfather .
Rita Ora is in some obscure market Vanity Fair wearing her lingerie, showing nipples, because she does everything in her power to be the next Rihanna , which isn’t very much power, but more power than most hookers, thanks to having a record deal and some friends who are important people..allowing her to get into magazines like she matters, where she can get half naked where it matters, because people like me write about it like it matters…when really none of this really matters, big tits or not…she’s never going to be Rihanna…she’s too old for that!

It’s been over a year since Shannen Doherty revealed that she’s battling breast cancer . During that time, the actress has been remarkably candid about her difficult journey, opening up to fans about emotional milestones along the way. When Doherty shaved her head because she was losing her hair as a result of chemotherapy treatments, she posted a photo of the moment on her Instagram page. Earlier this month, she triumphantly shared the news that she’s almost done with chemotherapy . Now that there’s a light at the end of her very long, dark tunnel, Doherty is making a point to thank those who helped guide her on her path to recovery. Doherty has been effusive in her praise for her oncologist, Dr. Lawrence Piro. She’s expressed her gratitude to her network of supportive friends who stood by her in her darkest hour. And today, she took time out to thank the man who held her hand as she faced the fight of her life. Doherty married Kurt Iswarienko in 2011. Today, she shared a photo from their wedding (above) on Instagram, along with the following caption: “Our wedding was exceptional and not for the big event it was. It was exceptional because we committed for better or worse, in sickness or in health to love and cherish one another.” “Those vows have never meant more than they do now. Kurt has stood by my side thru sickness and makes me feel more loved now than ever. “I would walk any path with this man. Take any bullet for him and slay every dragon to protect him. He is my soul mate. My other half. I am blessed.” During a Stand Up to Cancer event in Los Angeles earlier this month, Doherty revealed that her battle with cancer has actually strengthened her marriage: “My marriage was always fantastic,” she told Entertainment Tonight . “but it’s even better now.” She added: “It’s not just the people who have cancer. It’s the families too that go through it that it’s very hard on.” Asked about his role in his wife’s recovery, Iswarienko downplayed his contribution: “I have the easy part,” he told ET. “Just being a support system for her… I wish I could do it for her, you know?” Our thoughts are with Doherty and Iswarienko as the two of them continue their fight against one of the toughest opponents imaginable.
