Caitlyn Jenner: O.J. Simpson Totally Did It!

According to an earlier report, Khloe Kardashian has  not spoken to Caitlyn Jenner in years . And now we may know why: Caitlyn believes Khloe’s father is a cold-blooded murderer!!! No, not Robert Kardashian. We speak, of course, about O.J. Simpson, who  many   some  at least one tabloid pretends to believe  is Khloe’s biological father . In an interview to promote her new controversial memoir, Jenner told Andy Cohen during a Sirius XM Town Hall this week that she was always convinced Simpson had killed taken the lives of his ex-wife and Ronald Goldman. He said that Kris Jenner, to whom he was married at the time of the infamous 1994 trial, felt the same way. “I knew he did it,” Caitlyn explained to Cohen, adding:  “There was three people at the crime scene. DNA evidence, three people at the crime scene. Pick a murderer. How hard is that?” Pretty hard, as it turned out, considering Simpson was found not guilty in what has been deemed The Trial of the Century. O.J. was found culpable in a civil lawsuit and is currently serving a 33-year sentence in Nevada, where he was convicted in 2008 of multiple felonies, including criminal conspiracy, kidnapping and robbery. Caitlyn makes note of the trial in “The Secrets of My Life,” which hit bookstores on Tuesday. “In the book, I talk about only one time after the second trial and the whole thing was over, Robert just said to me that, ‘I would have been okay if they got him in the first trial,’” says Jenner, revealing that Khloe’s actual father believed his good friend was a killer. Added Jenner in this chat with Cohen: “That’s the only thing he ever said and that’s about the closest he’ll ever come, never saying he actually did it. “When Robert, in the first trial, he was now the guy who helped him get away with murder and he was destroyed by everyone. And I felt terribly sorry for him.” Caitlyn has been on quite the press tour of late in order to move copies of her biography. She’s opened up about a number of personal issues, such as how she felt very weird making love to Kris during their marriage because she knew something was off about her identity. She says Kris was well aware that she liked to cross-dress and has transgender tendencies. In the memoir, Caitlyn writes that what Kris knew and what she now claims to have known will always be an area of “dispute” between the exes, adding: “She insists that she was taken by surprise by my ultimate transition to Caitlyn, which obviously means in her mind that she did not know enough.” View Slideshow: Caitlyn Jenner: Read the 19 Most Stunning Quotes From Her Memoir Caitlyn also admitted that she barely even talks to the Kardashian side of her family anymore. It appears to make her sad, although she isn’t certain why it’s reached this point. “I have to admit, I’ll sit here and wonder, ‘Is it because of my transitioning? Or is because their life is so busy that they don’t call, like, all the time?'” Jenner asks. “I mostly reach out to them. Obviously, the Jenner side calls more, but they all have their own lives.” Still, Jenner has no regrets. This is her authentic self. “[I’m] happy, peaceful… I have peace in my soul,” she concludes. “All of that confusion has left me.”

Mother and 8-Year Old Daughter Die in Separate Car Crashes, 30 Minutes Apart

The following is a truly awful story. Our heart breaks for everyone involved in it and everyone who has been affected by it. An Alabama woman and her eight-year old daughter died on Tuesday afternoon in separate car-related accidents… within 30 minutes and seven miles of each other. According to DeKalb County Coroner Tom Wilson, the victims have been identified as 39-year-old Julie Yates Patterson and her child, Elizabeth “Libby” Patterson.  Said Wilson to The Huffington Post, detailing what transpired: “The mother’s car was involved in a head-on collision with another vehicle and then about a half hour later, the daughter was crossing the road when she was struck by a car.” Wilson added that both incidents took place on Alabama State Route 117, which is located near the family’s residence in Valley Head. This highway is a winding two-lane road that runs northwest from the Georgia state line through the town of Ider into Jackson County, eventually ending at the Tennessee state line. Valley Head is a small town about 70 miles southeast of Huntsville; the impact of these tragedies has been felt by all who call it home. “It’s just a tragic, tragic thing for something like that to happen,” Valley Head Mayor Lamar Bray said on Wednesday, adding: “In a little town of 500 or 600 people, everybody knows everybody or [is] related to everybody. We just request prayers for the family, and we’ll all come together as a community.” Per The Times Free Press, family members say that Libby had recently celebrated her birthday and that a school bus had reportedly dropped her off minutes before the fatal accident. Al.com also reported on the accident that killed Julia, writing that the crash injured at least two other people, both of whom were transported to an area hospital. Their conditions are unknown at the moment. The driver of the vehicle that struck and killed Libby was not injured. Wilson told The Huffington Post in a quick interview that the small rural community is “mostly in shock and disbelief.” He added: “It’s quite a coincidence. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like it.” On Thursday morning, an account at Gofundme.com went up to help pay for funeral expenses; to date, it has raised nearly $2,000. This is what it says on the home page: Most of you know Julie Yates was killed in a car accident on March 21st, on that same day, shortly after, her daughter Libby was also killed after being struck by a car. Nobody knows or is prepared for something like this. I have started this page in hopes for our little community to come together and help this family as much as possible. The money will be put towards the funeral, and what is left will be given to the Yates family to do what they deem necessary, whether it is funeral expenses or whatever they need. I am a friend of the family, I went to church with Julie’s daughter and I intend on taking the funds to the funeral home in which the funeral will be held. If you have any questions regarding the campaign or if I have not answered any questions in this post PLEASE contact me via email and I will answer any unanswered question. We cannot imagine almost anything worse than what this family must be going through. We send them our thoughts, prayers and condolences.

Mischa Barton’s Sex Tape Press Conference of the Day

Crazy girl Mischa Barton is trying to take down her sex tape vendor – playing the role of the victim – by saying her dude recorded her behind her back when they fucked and is now out trying to sell the sex tape for 500,000 dollars which is totally fucking absurd, this is Mischa Barton we’re talking about, she wouldn’t even get 500,000 to star in a blockbuster movie, if anything, she’d pay them to cast her hoping it revitalized her dead career… I believe this is all part of an intricate generating hype about her sex tape before it is released hustle, because girl hasn’t been this proactive about anything ever, and she’s normally having drug overdoses and doing low level campaigns for HOOKER WATER companies… There is no way she’s not behind this…I don’t believe the lie and will happily post the sex tape release…that I don’t think anyone will care about… It’s probably sad that people only care about sex tapes, but even sadder that Farrah Abraham is more popular than you…cuz that pitch moved sex tapes…Mischa will sell like 20…at most…. So she’s getting restraining orders to get the hype up…or maybe it’s just such a bad sex tape that she’s trying to do damage control because it was the fat years….or the half dead years she wants to cover up – But I call -> marketing campaign…for someone no one gives a fuck about.

Steve Harvey Responds to Best Picture Flub: I’ve Been There, Folks!

Steve Harvey suddenly has something significant in common with Warren Beatty. But it has nothing to do with the massive number of women with whom Beatty has had sex. Instead, it’s the embarrassment of making an epically famous mistake on a national awards show stage. In December of 2015, Harvey concluded the Miss Universe Pageant by announcing Miss Colombia as the winner. The only problem at the time? Miss Colombia was not actually the winner. That honor actually belonged to Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach of the Philippines, a gross error that Harvey was forced to come out and admit minutes after misinforming the audience initially. It was quite the snafu, although it didn’t do much harm to Harvey’s career. Considering he was invited back to host the same beauty pageant a year later. Steve Harvey Announces WRONG Miss Universe Winner: You Gotta Watch This! On Sunday night, meanwhile, Warren Beatty was at the center of the greatest gaffe in Academy Awards history. Due to an envelope mix-up that really was not his fault, the legendary actor helped tell the world that La La Land had won Best Picture for 2017. Except it hadn’t. Moonlight had won Best Picture for 2017. Watch this VERY awkward snafu take place in the following video: Oscars 2017 Best Picture: There’s Been a Mistake! Soon after the proper victor was crowned, host Jimmy Kimmel tried to lighten the tense mood, quipping on stage: “Guys, this is very unfortunate what happened. Personally, I blame Steve Harvey for this.” It was a pretty good line, but it also gave Harvey a chance to milk the situation for as much attention as he possibly could. “Good morning everybody! Went to sleep early last night. So…what I miss? #Oscars,” the comedian Tweeted this morning, prior to using the mistake as a PR opportunity. “Tune in to @SteveHarveyFM at 8 AM ET today for my response to last night’s #Oscars . YOU KNOW I have something to say,” he added. On his radio show, Harvey proceeded to wax at length about the Oscars flub. “I know all about this. I know more than anyone else in the world about this,” said the 60-year-old. “I am the creator of these moments. The epicurean of this.” Harvey went on reference a number reactions made on social media to the televised mistake. “Because Warren made a mistake, does he have to die?” Harvey joked. “Should he lose his life? Y’all wanna kill him? Well he needs security because of this.” Prior to the cast and crew from Moonlight accepting the Best Picture prize, Beatty jumped back on the microphone and explained what happened, saying he was confused the second he opened the envelope because it read “Emma Stone, La La Land.” Since this snafu took place, PricewaterhouseCoopers, the auditing firm that tallies the Oscars votes, issued an apology and took responsibility. View Slideshow: Academy Awards Flub Inspires Internet, Leads to Other Best Picture Possibilities “Me and Warren handled it great. It’s me and Warren’s thing,” added Harvey. “We handled it great. At least the producers of the Oscars walked out with him… and they corrected the mistake on the night.” Concluded Harvey on his show: “Warren I know your pain!” “I can help Warren get through this. I’m [going to] show him how to handle it with dignity and grace. Thank God for producers who stand with their talent. Unlike waiting the next day to handle it with the press, as it was suggested in my ear… “I can help Warren get through this. Call me Warren, baby.”

Kate Middleton & Prince William: Is the Public Turning on Them?

It wasn’t all that long ago that Kate Middleton could do no wrong. Sure, she was the butt of the occasional joke about waiting around for Prince William to propose, but by the time of the royal wedding back in 2011, Kate had endeared herself to the the British public. Or at least the relatively small portion of the British public gives a damn about what the royals are up to. Now, however, it appears that the honeymoon period is at an end. The tide seemed to turn against Will and Kate around the time they abandoned London for the rural community of Norfolk, a move that many regarded as a means of shirking royal duties with no scrutiny from the press. Kate and Will briefly found themselves back in the public’s good graces following the birth of Princess Charlotte , but sources say they quickly squandered that goodwill by publicly griping about the challenges of raising two kids. We’d like to pause momentarily in order to issue a public service announcement to celebrity parents: Complaining about the difficulties of parenting doesn’t help you come off as likable or relatable. It just makes you seem out-of-touch, tone deaf, and self-pitying. Sure, raising kids is always difficult, but it’s easier with a team of nannies and live-in-chefs, ya know? According to The Daily Beast’s royal correspondent, Tom Sykes, the British public has grown tired of Will and Kate’s “we’re just like you!” schtick, and it may prove difficult for the couple to win over the public that they’ve now thoroughly alienated. “Whenever he talks about how hard parenthood is you realize he has no idea how his choices come across,” an insider who wished to remain anonymous told Sykes.  “[It’s] partly because no one dares tell him that doing so little looks pathetic; they surround themselves with yes people including staff and friends. They are very spoiled and indulged.” Apparently, the royals are very award, and very concerned about this issue, which might explain Kate’s recent rash of public appearances following a several months of isolation. Will it be enough to convince Brits that their future queen is a woman of the people? Probably not, but fortunately Will and Kate won’t be running for re-election anytime soon.

Amy Duggar: Did She Lie About Being Abused?!

Oh, that poor Amy Duggar … girl absolutely cannot seem to catch a break. It all started when she was, you know, born into the Duggar family. She’s not one of Jim Bob and Michelle’s spawn, but as we’ve been learning, she may have been better off if she was one of those 19 Kids and Counting. And that’s because, according to multiple claims Amy has made during her time on Marriage Boot Camp, she had a truly terrible childhood. She’s told stories about how her parents used to fight so much that she’d spend all her time outside , just so she wouldn’t have to hear them screaming at each other. She’s said that her mother used to leave suicide notes around the house for her to find, and that her father would tell her that she was a mistake. In the latest heartbreaking clip, Amy said that her father once grabbed her by the throat and lifted her up to the ceiling, all because he didn’t believe her when she told him she brushed her teeth. Amy Duggar Reveals The Family Member Who Abused Her: Watch! She even said he tried to run her over with a car on one occasion. It all sounds so unbelievably awful, right? You’d think it couldn’t get much worse than that. But now, in yet another example of Amy’s family being the worst, her own grandmother is speaking to the press about Amy’s claims. Specifically, she’s calling Amy a liar . The grandmother in question is Lenora Jordan, her father’s mother. (Amy is related to the Duggars through her mother, who is Jim Bob’s sister.) Lenora took the time to speak with Radar about Amy and all the horrific stories of abuse, and she simply said “None of that stuff is true.” Solid argument, Grandma. “Amy just felt like she needed to be on that show, and needed something to tell,” Lenora insisted. It’s such a sad turn of events, isn’t it? First Amy had to suffer through her childhood, and now she has to deal with her grandmother publicly dismissing her like this. It’s interesting, too, because while of course we can’t really definitively prove Amy’s stories, there’s quite a bit of evidence that she is telling the truth. The therapists on Marriage Boot Camp don’t have a problem believing Amy, and we know they don’t have problems with calling people out on any suspected nonsense. And another little fact is that back in 1992, Amy’s mother filed a restraining order against her then-husband — Amy’s father — because, as she said, he’d threatened to kill both her and “the baby.” The baby, most likely, being little Amy. Here’s hoping that Amy doesn’t take her grandmother’s words to heart, and that she continues to heal from all that unbelievable badness her family has put her through.

Jesus Take The Wheel: Gunned Down 11-Year-Old Chicago Girl Saves 6 Lives After Death

Chicago Girl Killed In Gang Shootout Saves 6 Lives Through Organ Donation At this point there really isn’t a whole lot you can say about the gun violence in Chicago except that it needs to stop. There have been debates, panels, town halls, speeches and still, African-American blood continues to run the streets of one of America’s biggest cities. It isn’t often that we even get a glimpse of a silver lining when it comes to this subject, and we’re not even sure if this particular story can be classified as such. But we were taken aback by a Chicago-Tribune report about the violent death of 11-year-old Takiya Holmes. Takiya was sitting in a family van with her 3-year-old brother when Antwan Jones opened fire at rival gang members across the street. In typical fashion, Antwan didn’t hit a single one of his targets, yet happened to hit Takiya directly in the temple. Shortly after she was unplugged from life support on Tuesday, Takiya’s organs were donated to 6 people, one “distant” family member and 5 other strangers. Seven of Takiya’s organs were donated following her death on Tuesday — to a distant relative and to strangers she had never met. Someone received her heart, her pancreas, her lungs and her kidneys. Two recipients shared her liver. While the family’s generosity will certainly not completely ease the pain of losing their daughter in the first place, they are aware of the joy they have brought to others. “It brings us peace to know that she’s living in someone else,” said Holmes, adding that Takiya’s mother and father eagerly agreed to the transplants. “The fact that she extended another person’s life and helped give them quality of life, we can live with that.” It took a lot of courage by Takiya’s family to share their child with someone else. Minorities, and African-Americans in particular, are not quick to donate organs. Though 20 percent of all transplant recipients are African-American — the overwhelming majority of them kidney recipients — blacks make up only 16 percent of all donors, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. R.I.P. Takiya Holmes. We offer our prayers and condolences not only to your family and friends, but also to the city of Chicago. Image via Chicago PD/Holmes Family

Pennsylvania Teen Who Took Selfie With Dying Friend Convicted Of 3rd Degree Murder

Maxwell Morton Found Guilty After Taking Selfie With Body Of Ryan Mangan Thursday a Pennsylvania jury convicted 18-year-old Maxwell Morton of third-degree murder. You may remember reading about Morton on BOSSIP previously, when we reported how he posed for a selfie with 16-year-old Ryan Mangan in February 2015 as Mangan lay dying from a gunshot wound. Morton testified Thursday that he and Mangan were playing with a handgun that he believed was unloaded when he pointed it at him pulled the trigger. Morton said he planned to kill himself next and only took the selfie to document what had happened. According to Associated Press reports the jury in the case rejected arguments from the prosecution that Morton purposely killed Mangan. Morton also testified that while people think he’s a monster, he’s actually a “chill kind of guy.” Morton could be sentenced to a maximum of 40 years behind bars this May. Do you think the jury let Morton off too easily?

Donald Trump: I’m Not a Bad Person! Really!

Donald Trump was at his unhinged best this afternoon. Or worst, depending on your point of view. Speaking to reporters about his choice for Labor Secretary, following the withdrawal of Andrew Puzder for this position due to a wife-beating scandal, Trump said he had settled on Alexander Acosta. Okay, great. Awesome. Fair enough. But then the fireworks began. Or the trainwreck, again, depending in your point of view. “Many of the nation’s reporters and folks will not tell you the truth,” Trump said, at least being consistent with what he’s said in 140 characters or fewer many times over the past few weeks. The President continued: “The media is trying to attack our administration because they know we are following through on pledges that we made, and they’re not happy about it, for whatever reason. “I turn on the news and I see stories of chaos. And yet it is the exact opposite. The administration is running like a fine-tuned machine.” Look. We’re a celebrity gossip site. We’re not here to talk actual politics. But Trump’s National Security Advisor just resigned due to the lies he told about having had illegal contact with Russia over the past few months. A Federal Appeals court recently shot down his immigration-related Executive Order because it was unconstitutional. Spokeswoman Kellyanne Conway is under investigation for possibly breaking federal law by using her position to shill for Ivanka Trump . Go ahead and defend your administration, Donald, we wouldn’t expect anything less. But if THIS is your definition of a “fine-tuned machine,” well… we hope we never need to operate said machine. Despite the very low unemployment rate and the lack of a single refugee terror attack over the past eight years, Trump went on to say he “inherited a mess” when he took office. “There’s never been a presidency that’s done so much in such a short period of time, and we haven’t started the big work,” Trump insisted. He then claimed General Flynn did “nothing wrong” with Russia, despite Flynn resigning due to what he did with Russia, and referred all the reports linking his campaign and administration to the U.S. enemy as “fake news.” At one point, Trump even said he’s not a “bad person.” “I never get phone calls from the media,” Trump said, hilariously, wondering: “How do they write a story like that in the Wall Street Journal without calling me? How do they write a story in The New York Times?” While celebrities watched the press conference unfold and live-Tweeted in utter shock and despair, Trump added: “I can handle a bad story better than anybody, as long as it’s true. But I’m not OK when it’s fake. Here’s a look at what some of those celebrities had to say: Josh Groban : Unhinged. This isn’t politics. This isn’t red and blue. This is reality and insanity. Both sides of the aisle, please protect us. I can’t laugh about him anymore. It just isn’t funny. I feel genuinely scared about his confusion and egomania. We are in a tailspin. Billy Eichner : This speech MY GOD. Samantha Ronson : No matter how many times you say otherwise, you lost the popular vote. LOST. LOST. 3 million. #stoplying #notmypresident. Ike Barinholtz : Trump’s delusion level is Norma Desmond. Jake Tapper : That was unhinged. That was wild. We could go on and on. Did you catch the press conference?

Rosie O’Donnell as Steve Bannon is The Photo You Can Never Unsee

WARNING: Once you take a look at the photo below, you will never be able to get it out of your head. It will haunt your dreams. It will follow you around wherever you go. It will make you wonder about what is true and what is false in nearly every aspect of your life. Are you ready? Okay, you’ve been warned… No, wait. Not that photo. It’s a different Rosie O’Donnell photo that is causing the Internet to stop in its collective tracks. On Thursday night, a Twitter user with the handle @Principat0 sent a picture to O’Donnell of her face superimposed over that of Steve Bannon. This genius individual included a message with the image that reads: “A @Rosie picture is worth a thousand words.” O’Donnell quickly replied by writing “Exactly” and causing the photo to go viral. And here is that photo… For those in need of some background, here you go: O’Donnell was on to Donald Trump as the epitome of all things evil long before the rest of the world. Her feud with the President goes back many years, with Trump having called O’Donnell a “at pig , among many other insults, throughout their never-ending rivalry. Last weekend, meanwhile, Melissa McCarthy guest-starred on an episode of Saturday Night Live as White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer. The segment was viewed as hilarious and spot-on by viewers… and as cause for grave concern by those in the administration. According to a report in Politico, Trump was especially angry that Spicer was portrayed on SNL (below) by a woman because it made him look “weak.” Melissa McCarthy Delivers Perfect Sean Spicer Impression on SNL Naturally, this led many people to push for O’Donnell to appear on a future installment of the NBC comedy show as Bannon, Trump’s top advisor who is basically a modern day Nazi. The idea being that Trump’s main celebrity foil impersonating the man who most consider to be pulling Trump’s strings in office would be enough to drive the President legitimately insane. (Assuming he isn’t there already, that is.) It didn’t take long for this campaign to reach O’Donnell, who responded to the movement this week by Tweeting that she’s prepared to take one for the country. “I am here to serve,” Rosie wrote in response to those who want to see her as Bannon. She added of Alec Baldwin and McCarthy: “Alec has Trump. Melissa has Spice. I would need a few days to prepare. So, if called, I will be ready.” View Slideshow: Steve Bannon: Who is Trump’s White Nationalist Chief Advisor? Does her Tweet of the mash-up picture mean that O’Donnell actually will appear as Bannon this weekend? On an episode that will be hosted by Baldwin? We’ll need to wait a day or so to find out. In the meantime, we’ll need to think of some kind of way to stop seeing the photo above in our head every time we close our eyes. It’s eerie.
