Ariel Winter wants the world to know she’s a grown up and she seems to think the best way to do that is to wear little clothing. The 18-year-old Modern Family star went on a trip to visit Santa Claus with her family to The Groves in Los Angeles over the weekend, but her outfit was barely there. Winter opted for a white mini dress as she accompanied her sister and her four nieces. What more could we really have expected from a star who seems to take bikini selfies pretty much every hour. Yes, Ariel really likes the way she looks. We get that. She’s a young star who has spent seven years on a hit TV show and still has her whole life ahead of her. She’s clearly making sure she has a lot of pictures of her looking her best before she inevitably gets older and not so easy on the eyes. That’s sort of what happens. Winter’s boyfriend, Levi Meaden, was not with her as she visited Santa, but a Snapchat from later on that night revealed that the pair are still going strong. Ariel confirmed her romance to Levi last month after there were a lot of scandalous pictures of the pair together floating around the internet. There’s no denying that they make a cute couple, but will Levi really be able to get around the fact that Ariel is constantly pouting at her phone camera to keep her legions of followers up to speed with how much better her life is than theirs? We don’t know, but it sure seems like their relationship is moving on swimmingly. When Ariel is not hanging around with her boyfriend, she’s twerking on the beach in a thong , putting makeup on her ass and making it clear that she’s not fazed by her bullies . Yeah, Ariel is really living it up, you guys. What do you think about all of this? Sound off below! View Slideshow: Ariel Winter Bikini Selfies: Look at My Butt & New Boyfriend!
Last month, Kanye West was hospitalized following an emotional breakdown that resulted in at least one 911 call. The rapper received nearly two weeks of in-patient treatment at the UCLA Medical Center, and while he has since been released, he remains under 24-hour medical supervision. Sources say Kanye is getting better by the day, but he reportedly continues to suffer setbacks, in large part because he frequently defies doctor’s orders. “Everyone in the family is still very worried about Kanye, but he will not listen to anyone because Kanye thinks he knows it all,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online. The insider adds that West’s refusal to slow down and make his recovery his top priority has left his family and medical staff deeply concerned about the possibility of a relapse. Of particular concern is Kanye’s decision to bury himself in his work rather than confront his problems: “He has just become even more withdrawn and, instead of getting rest and relaxation, he is at his studio working 24/7,” the source claims. It seems part of the problem is that Kanye and Kim Kardashian are living in separate homes for the safety of their children. (The severity of West’s condition has not been conclusively determined.) The forced estrangement is reportedly taking a considerable toll on Kanye and making it even more difficult for him to focus on his mental health. “Kanye has spent very little time at home with Kim and the kids, which is why they have stayed at Kris’s house several times after Kanye had his breakdown,” says the source. Insiders claim that the reports about Kim and Kanye getting divorced are bogus, and insist that they’re only living under separate roofs out of an abundance of caution. It seems the couple is currently stuck in a sort of catch-22 situation: Kim’s absence is exacerbating Kanye’s condition, but he can’t live with his wife and children again until he’s well enough that he won’t be putting them at risk. We’ll have further information on this story as more information becomes available. View Slideshow: 45 Kute and Kuddly Kimye Photos
There are a lot of evil people in the world. According to some folks out there, we just elected one as President of the United States. But The Hollywood Gossip has gone ahead and tracked down what many would have to consider to be the absolute WORST person in the world: 56-year old David Grisham. He's the self-proclaimed leader of a religious fundamentalist group called “Repent Amarillo,” whose mission is to “preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and wage spiritual warfare on the demonic realm,” according to its Facebook page. He stopped by a mall in Texas over the weekend and heckled a bunch of children in line to meet Santa Claus, telling them that Saint Nick isn't real. That Santa guy over there is just a “man in a suit,” Grisham told these kids, after explaining to the camera that “Jesus died on the cross to pay for our sins” and that it was time to “tell the truth” about Christmas. What happened when Grisham was confronted by a few men at the mall? What did he tell them about the grave “sin” parents were committing by lying to their sons and daughters about Santa? Watch, find out and shake your head over the fact that people such as this exist:
Before we get started, you need to go ahead and brace yourself, because this is a seriously sad story about a poor little boy and his broken dreams. So gather your thoughts, steel your heart, and settle in, because this is one wild, disappointing ride. OK, so there are a great deal of children who love Santa Claus , right? Sure, some of them are a little weary of the idea of sitting on some strange old man's lap and telling him some gifts they'd like to receive, but many others look forward to visiting the guy . This little boy we're talking about today, nine-year-old Anthony of Forest City, North Carolina, fell into that second category. On Saturday, he spent the day with his family, getting into so many winter shenanigans. They went ice-skating, and they even went for a carriage ride, before going on a little trip to see Santa. Things started off fine — Anthony sat on Santa's lap, he asked for an iPod Touch and a drone, everything was good. But when Anthony went to leave, he claims that Santa told him to “lay off the hamburgers and french fries.” Poor, adorable Anthony says that Santa “really disrespected me,” and that “it affected me so bad that I was crying until I went to bed that night.” The Santa in question was scolded, and he apologized to the family, but Anthony thinks that “he didn't even mean it.” Check out the super sad video below:
Kylie Jenner has gotten nearly naked in two new photos posted on her Instagram account. We know, we know: What’s newsworthy about that? At this point, we should really only alert readers to the few times where Kylie Jenner does NOT get nearly naked. But did we mention that she’s posing with a giant snake that runs the length of her body this time around? Because she is. The 19-year-old Keeping Up With the Kardashians actress offered up a tease of her new calendar to followers on Sunday, sharing a couple images from the pictorial recently snapped by controversial photographer Terry Richardson. He’s best known for taking pictures of young female celebrities in various states of undress. The cover of this 2017 calendar features Kylie with blonde hair, rocking lacy black lingerie and a crown for some reason. The back calendar cover, meanwhile, depicts the reality star lying on her stomach, hand propping her head up… with a boa constrictor draped across her lower back and legs. “I want to keep the rest of the photos a secret, because I want you guys to be surprised,” Kylie previewed as a caption, turning her attention to Richardson and adding: “So f–king bomb, Terry!” The calendar features “all exclusive Terry photos,” as teased on KylieJennerShop.com, which is where the item will be on sale, starting December 10. “Check out my snapchat for a preview xoxo!” Kylie told Instagram followers who may be interested in this calendar as a stocking stuffer. (Richardson has worked in the past with Khloe Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Kris Jenner and Kanye West. (He also photographed Kylie for Galore’s September 2015 issue, published a mere month after she became a legal adult. How sweet.) Jenner shared the racy snapshots on the heels of a few other racy snapshots. Over the weekend, Kylie showed off her mansion and her body via a set of thong bikini-themed photographs . Yes, that really is the teenager’s home in the background. Although were guessing that your attention isn’t exactly on the building in this picture, is it? The pictures have also gone viral in the wake of a new Kylie Jenner pregnant rumor . But there’s a twist to this one: according to Starcasm sources, Kylie may have been cheating on Tyga with a rapper named Savage 21 (not his real name) and the bun in her oven actually belongs to him , not to Tyga. How scandalous! If true, that is. We somehow doubt that it is. What do you think? Is Kylie pregnant? With another man’s baby? If so, you should savor photos such as the ones posted above. You may not be seeing similar ones from Kylie Jenner in 2017 as her alleged baby bump grows. View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner Selfies: A Kandid Kollection
Just in time for the holidays, Teen Mom OG firebrand Farrah Abraham just put on a “festive” bikini show that would make Santa Claus blush. Seriously, you might want to make sure no one's looking at your phone, tablet or computer over your shoulder if you elect to scroll on … Unlike her innocent photo with Sophia and Santa , there was nothing G-rated about her posing in a tiny red and white bikini top Saturday. Designed to look like Santa hats that struggled to contain her absolutely enormous fake boobs, that two-piece was putting in too much work. Seriously, the skimpiest of bikinis was festively, appropriately paired with red, white and green shorts adorned with gingerbread men. A delicious holiday treat if ever there were one. The controversial star's newly long blonde hair was loose and styled in loose curls as she posted by the pool on warm December day. Farrah summed up the experience thusly: She's ready, Santa. #hohoho, indeed. See what she did there? So clever. As one fan pointed out, she spelled gingerbread wrong, but it's clear that if taking pics like this is wrong, Farrah doesn't wanna be right. With her legs crossed and her ample chest pushed forward, striking one pinup pose after another, it's clear that she was in her element. Check out some shots from the XXX-mas photo shoot below, and watch Teen Mom OG online to see her in her other familiar environment: Berating her parents and producers.
