Tristan Thompson: It’s Not Fair That Everyone Hates Me for Cheating on Khloe Kardashian!

It’s been a couple of weeks now since we learned that Tristan Thompson’s been cheating on Khloe Kardashian for pretty much the duration of her pregnancy, if not for their entire relationship. But still, it’s such a wild story, right? There’s video confirming that he got mighty friendly with women in Washington D.C. while he was there for a basketball game when Khloe was three months pregnant with their daughter, True. And there’s more video showing him at a hotel in Manhattan looking mighty friendly with another woman — that was less than a week before Khloe gave birth. If the video, the reports, Tristan’s NBA schedule, and the comments from then women Tristan allegedly slept with while dating Khloe weren’t enough, then Kim’s new interview with Ellen sure was. In the interview, Kim described the situation as “so f-cked up,” which is definitely fair. “We really were rooting for Khloe,” she added, “and we still are. You know, she’s so strong and she’s doing the best that she can. It’s a really sad situation all over.” She didn’t say too much, unfortunately, because she said that she wanted to “keep it cute, keep it classy, and not talk too bad” since “some day, True is going to see this.” While she may have been able to keep things cute and classy — many people think she chose to speak out about Tristan and Khloe to take attention away from Kanye’s recent bizarre behavior — she still confirmed, without a doubt, that all this is true. And as a new report claims, Tristan is really not happy about it. A source tells Hollywood Life that while Tristan assumed all the cheating stuff would come up on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, he didn’t expect anyone to do an actual interview about it. “Tristan wanted to keep it in house as much as possible,” the source claims, “but now he sees that there is no rules when it comes to the family talking about it.” What’s more, “the fact that the whole world knows his dirty laundry is really messing with his emotions.” “He realizes that he put himself in this situation, but it’s really messing with him. He wants to focus on basketball and that is just not going to happen.” Another insider has the same story — “Tristan is furious after finding out that Khloe’s sister Kim called him out for his poor behavior.” “He genuinely feels bad about making a huge mistake with Khloe ,” but he still “wishes Kim did not go on Ellen and announce it to the world.” Because after all, “Tristan is in the middle of a playoff run and having Kim shade him publicly is not good for him or his team. He feels she’s messing with his NBA championship which is not cool at all.” If you can even believe it, this source also says that “He wishes Kim had a little more class than to diss him so harshly in public while he is trying to help his team win another title.” The guy who let multiple women feel him up in a hookah bar while his pregnant girlfriend sat at home is going to talk about class? Seriously? Tristan’s upset with more than just Kim though — a third source says that he’s “pissed that he’s now better known for dating, and allegedly cheating on, Khloe Kardashian than he is for playing basketball.” “It’s a really tough time for Tristan right now, both on and off the court, he’s under incredible pressure and he’s really stressed — he feels like he’s literally fighting for his career. ” Oh wow, we didn’t realize what a hard time he was having with all of this! It really makes you feel sorry for him, right? He feels like his entire career is in jeopardy, he’s on the outs with his girlfriend’s family, he’s pretty much universally disliked right now … … Wait, he did literally all of that to himself? Every single bit of it? Get over yourself, Tristan. View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian: Why She SHOULD Leave Tristan Thompson, But Never Will

Valerie Fairman: Late 16 and Pregnant Star’s Mother Gives Update on Daughter

In December of 2016, Valerie Fairman, one of the star’s of MTV’s 16 and Pregnant, passed away. She was only 23 years old. Her death was shocking for a number of reasons, one, of course, being her age. Another was that she had an episode in the second season of 16 and Pregnant, the same season that introduced us to Jenelle Evans, Chelsea Houska, Kailyn Lowry, and Leah Messer. Being in a group of ladies we’ve come to know so well, it was just sort of strange to hear about her passing. One big reason the whole thing was so tragic was that Valerie left behind a daughter, Nevaeh, who was seven years old when she lost her mother. Really, the whole entire thing was just one big mess of sadness. The news of her death broke thanks to some tweets from her friends and family, and later we learned that she’d accidentally overdosed at a friend’s house . She went to the bathroom there but didn’t come out. Her friend went to check on her, and when there was no response, the friend broke down the door to find Valerie unresponsive. She never regained consciousness. There were never any official reports about her specific cause of death, but many believe that she died after doing heroin laced with fentanyl. This belief began in part because her ex-boyfriend, David Pryce, made a plea on Twitter after hearing the news of her death about shady drug dealers. “I will always miss you Valerie,” he wrote, “and I want to tell anyone who is selling sh-t to people to stop. We have lost too many loved ones to what you are doing.” In another statement, he said that she’d been dealing with “a lifelong problem” with opioid addiction, which is especially tragic, considering her life was so short. Valerie passed away at the end of 2016, and that’s when we heard all of this — so how are things with little Nevaeh now, over a year later? Her grandmother, Janice Fairman — Valerie’s mother — gave an interview to Radar Online to update 16 and Pregnant fans on how the girl is doing. “Nevaeh is very well,” she says. “I don’t think it’s been hard for her. I don’t know if it will be in the coming years.” “She’s doing well in school. I took her to a grief counselor, which she didn’t need.” That may sound a little cold, but Janice points out that she had full custody of Nevaeh even before Valerie died, and that Valerie only visited once or twice a month. She explains that “Because her mom wasn’t living here at the time, it made it easier on her. She’s still in the house she’s grown up in.” She does say that she makes a point to tell Nevaeh about her mother often, and that “she has a necklace with some of her ashes.” “Ashes are in her play room too. She also has flowers from the service.” Thankfully, Janice reveals that Nevaeh’s father, Matt Pryce, “sees her every Saturday.” “We try to keep Matt involved,” she says, even though “he has his own problems,” and she “doesn’t always” want to visit with him.” Still, they “try and rearrange things so he doesn’t miss out on birthday parties and other activities.” Finally, Janice asks that 16 and Pregnant fans remember Valerie as a “loving and caring person.” View Slideshow: 22 Celebrities Who Died from an Overdose “I know she was into drugs and wasn’t so nice,” she acknowledges, “but in her heart she really was.” Here’s hoping that Nevaeh really is doing as well as Janice says, and that she continues to cope with this tragic loss as easily as possible.

Tyga and Iggy Azalea: Actually Dating?!

What happens when two has-beens lock eyes across a crowded music festival? Well, in the case of Tyga and Iggy Azalea, it appears that they decided to embark on a combination revenge romance/publicity stunt that will no doubt fail to capture the attention of either their exes or their jaded former fans. Yes, the two public figures who we suppose could generously be described as rappers were reportedly spotted getting very friendly with one another at Coachella over the weekend. According to Hollywood Life, T-Raww and I-G-G-Y have been an item for quite some time. But either they were keeping it a secret, or no one cared because it’s Tyga and Iggy Azalea. “Tyga and Iggy have been tight for a long time—they’ve collaborated and performed together, and hung out as friends multiple times,” a source tells the outlet.  “There’s always been an attraction between them, a definite chemistry. The insider says Iggy and Tyga have been friends for several years, but never hooked up due to timing issues. In other words, she was busy ignoring the constant Nick Young cheating rumors, and he was still riding Kylie Jenner’s coattails. “Recently, their friendship has turned physical,” the source claims. “They’re not at the stage of dating yet though, they’re more just friends with benefits, but it looks like it could definitely be on the cards in the future.” Sounds like they’re in that early stage in any relationship where you get butterflies in your stomach thinking about how doing a feature for the other person’s next album might revive your long-dead music career. Tyga, of course, has been in the news lately thanks to questions about the paternity of Kylie Jenner’s baby . We know now that  Tyga is not the father , and insiders say he’s quite upset about it. It’s sort of a “reverse-Maury” situation.  As for Iggy, sources say she briefly dated French Montana last year, so she only has a couple degrees of separation from the Kardashian family, herself. We’re guessing these days, Iggy and Tyga spend long hours staring into each other’s eyes and hatching plans about how to get back into the Kard clan’s good graces. Be careful, Kendall. It’s only a matter of time before they call you and propose a threesome.

Ryan Vieth: Son of Tamra Judge Feuds With Baby Mama!

As fans of The Real Housewives of Orange County remember from when Tamra Judge was publicly slammed by her estranged daughter , Tamra has used her children to further her storylines before. But her son Ryan Vieth is showing that he doesn’t need his mother’s help to stir up drama. He can do that just fine on his own. Now, he’s ignited a firestorm feud with his baby mama, Sarah Rodriguez. Ryan Vieth’s relationship with Sarah Rodriguez has been over for ages, but they’ll always be connected by their daughter, Ava. But for whatever reason, Ryan has chosen to antagonize the mother of Tamra Judge’s only grandchild . They’ve had their spats in the past. (Actually, Ryan was arrested for domestic violence in 2015, though the charges were eventually dropped … so it sounds like things have gotten a lot worse than spats) And they’ve feuded on Instagram after their split. This time, things are starting off with what we only wish were a promo for Amazon’s upcoming billion-dollar Lord of the Rings series. “Anyone want to buy my old wedding ring, I have no need for this,” he writes. As you can imagine, this was interpreted by many as a transparent attempt to antagonize and malign his ex. He told a follower “sold!” after the follower offered him $5 for it. He would later go on to explain: “Just figured I’d post something interesting today.” He also reminded followers that he and Sarah never actually married. Which is not really an explanation. Would you care to guess how well-received his post was by his ex? Sarah Jane Rodriguez did not mince words. “Ryan wants to officially announce that he is looking for his next Instagram victim!!” Oh wow! She then proceeds to warn others away from repeating her past mistakes. “As soon as he is done pretending he is something he is not and sucking you in.” That’s ominous. And there’s a tag to go with that sense of foreboding. “It will be too late. #beware” Rodriguez explains herself: “I have been working my ass off to make things good for Ava.” Of course she has. She’s her mom. “But this is not ok to publicly humiliate someone like this.” Like everyone else, she interpreted the wedding ring post as a slight against her. “No one will ever know the sacrifices I made for this person only to be s–t on over and over.” In the past, Rodriguez has opened up about her feuds with Ryan by sharing the sorts of messages that he sends her, as she did with this image last November. (Yikes) Rodriguez later deleted her post decrying Vieth’s “wedding ring” auction, and shared a message that reads: “When you have a bad day, a really bad day, try to treat the world better than it treated you.” She added her own caption to that sage advice, writing: “Okay, let’s start over.” Sometimes, that’s the best choice that a person can make. We do have to wonder, however, if Tamra Judge is going to work this conflict into her own life. In the past, Rodriguez has accused Vieth of relying heavily upon his mother for emotional support. So he probably doesn’t mind contributing to her reality career the way that some of her other children do.

Bruno Sammartino Dies; WWE Legend Was 82

The wrestling world is in mourning today. Bruno Sammartino, one of the most respected and revered WWE stars of all-time, died on Wednesday morning at his home in Pittsburgh. He was 82 years old. Known as “The Italian Superman,” Sammartino won the WWE Championship in a match against Buddy Rogers in Madison Square Garden in 1963… … and then held the belt for eight straight years, easily the longest reign in the company’s history. To be exact, he was champion for 4,040 days in a row. He got his start in what was then known as the WWWF, an organization run by Vince McMahon Sr. But Sammartino went on to do color commentary and make plenty of on-camera appearances for the WWF (now the WWE) throughout wrestling’s explosion into the mainstream in the 1980s. The cause of death is unknown at this time. Sammartino was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as a member of the 2013 class after turning down previous offers to do so, according to ESPN. Why did he wait to long to accept this honor? Because he first insisted on seeing changes made in the organization, such as performing drug tests on athletes and the end of the frequent use of profanity. “Being inducted into the Hall of Fame at Madison Square Garden is the biggest thing in my life,” Sammartino told ESPN years ago, adding: “Anytime that people feel that you accomplished enough to enter into a Hall of Fame, of course this is a tremendous, tremendous thrill for me.” Sammartino was actually inducted at the time by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Bruno is survived by his wife of nearly 60 years, Carol, along with three children. He also leaves behind a wrestling legacy few can match, as evidenced by the messages that have come pouring in via social media since news of his death went viral. Hulk Hogan : RIP Bruno,thank you for loving and living our business,only love HH. Triple H : Devastated to hear the passing of a true icon, legend, great, honest and wonderful man… A true friend…and one of the toughest people I’ve ever met. My thoughts are with his entire family. #RIPBrunoSammartino #AmericanDream. Bret Hart : Forever a champion. Rest in peace. Back in July, musician Bruno Mars even shared a photo with his namesake while holding a replica championship belt. “I was nicknamed after this professional wrestler Bruno Sammartino. Tonight in Pittsburgh I had the honor of meeting him!” the singer captioned the snapshot. Who knew?!? We certainly did not. May Bruno Sammartino rest in peace. Below, we have compiled a list of other wrestlers who died over the past few years, many of whom were far younger than 82 years old. This is a tough business and it can take its toll on its participants, both physically and mentally. We send our condolences to their friends, family members and loved ones.

Brian Lancaster Dies; Former Road Rules Star Was 43

Brian Lancaster, a reality star best known for having been a cast member on Season 7 of Road Rules, was found dead in his Pennsylvania home last Thursday. He was 43 years old. According to TMZ insiders, Lancaster had a history arrhythmia (that is, irregular heartbeats) and his family believes he passed away from heart failure. Lancaster competed on Road Rules: Latin America back he was 23. This season of the widely-viewed adventure reality series found Lancaster competing in missions across Mexico, Costa Rica and the United States. On its website, the DellaVecchia, Reilly, Smith & Boyd Funeral Home in West Chester, Pennsylvania shared an obituary for Lancaster. It described him as a “jack of many trades, including advertising account manager, telecommunications project manager, special education teacher, bartender, and reality TV star.” His relatives tell TMZ the death was not drug or alcohol related. Police will likely investigate but, as far as his loved ones know, there were no foreign substances found inside Brian’s home. Out of respect for Lancaster (pictured below in the latest photo we can find of him), we’re going to simply excerpt other portions of his obituary: In his formal education, Brian graduated from University of Colorado Boulder with a B.A. in Journalism, Public Relations and Advertising and graduated from Eastern University with a Master’s degree in Elementary Education. He would tell you though that his real education came from examining life endeavoring to become “well sharp” in order to chop through life’s challenges. Although not actually Jamaican himself, Brian was long entranced by their culture and proudly sported excellent dreadlocks. A spiritual explorer, dreamy stargazer, inquisitive world traveler and barstool philosopher who enjoyed a good mind meld, Brian excelled at being a human being rather than a human doing.  Constant in his soul and spirit, he would share possessions, thoughts and every part of his essence with anyone who came into his orbit. Brian, who was also known as Chilly Willy, Lanc, Dawg and Briana, never knew a stranger and was a connoisseur and collector of an eclectic assortment of friends ranging from 18-97. He was a consummate hugger, professional cuddler, iconoclast and master bullshitter who was extremely accident prone. Ever the authority shirker he was well-known for crossing lines and pushing the envelope. As you can tell by these passages, Lancaster was a unique individual. He is survived by his fiancee Sarah J. Bell and his parents Dennis and Carol Lancaster and he will be greatly missed. A private service was held in memory of Lancaster on Wednesday for his friends and family members. View Slideshow: 28 Reality Stars Who Died Way Too Young The obituary also notes that in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in Lancaster’s name may be made to the Brandywine Valley SPCA, a no-kill shelter in Chester and Delaware County, where Lancaster adopted his faithful companion, Reagan. Pretty admirable. This, sadly, is not the first tragedy to hit the Road Rules cast over the past several months. If you recall, Danny Dias died in June of 2017 at the even younger age of 33. Toward the end of Lancaster’s obituary, meanwhile, it reads: View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2018: In Memoriam Because he couldn’t be sent to space or have his head cryogenically frozen he will have to settle with living on forever as ashes in the earth, just the way he wanted. Amen. May he rest in peace.

According to CNN , the Louisiana officers who killed Alton Sterling under the pretense that he was reaching for a gun will not face any criminal charges. Sterling’s aunt, Veda Washington-Abusaleh stated it plainly: “They’re not going to bring charges on anybody. Why would they do that? This is white America,” Washington-Abusaleh said. Image via Sean Gardner/Getty Images Jeff Landry, Louisiana Attorney General, told Alton Sterling’s family that their loved one was killing in a “reasonable and justifiable manner”. “It takes courage … to fight for justice; we didn’t see that in this situation,” Sterling family attorney Chris Stewart said. “But that’s fine, because … we know what the repercussion is: Getting you out of office.” R.I.P. Alton Sterling. F**k the police.
