Kylie Jenner Slams Prankster Who Staged Travis Scott Cheating Pics

From the very beginning of their relationship rumors of Travis Scott cheating on Kylie Jenner have been circulating non-stop. Many believed the rapper was caught redhanded when a photo that purported to show Travis hooking up with another woman made the rounds on social media. It was later revealed that the pics were staged by an internet “prankster” named Christian Adam. Even lamer than Adam’s prank is the fact that he justified his act of supreme douchebaggery by describing it as a high-minded “social experiment.” The goal, he claimed, was to prove how easy it is to “fool the internet.” “Never believe anything you see on the internet :)” Christian wrote on Instagram. “(DISCLAIMER: this video was NOT made to intentionally hurt Travis Scott, Kylie Jenner or the entire Kardashian family in ANY way shape or form).” Well, we guess he was successful — but it seems he wasn’t terribly bothered by the number of people he would need to hurt in order to prove his point. You can punch someone in the face and claim it wasn’t your intention to hurt them, and any harm was purely accidental, but the damage remains the same. Not surprisingly, Kylie was quick to denounce the prank: “Idk if this is really a social experiment to some people but you’re messing with real people, real relationships, real family. I’m happy my relationship is strong because this is getting out of hand,” she wrote on Instagram. “The internet scares me sometimes for real.” Big sister Kim Kardashian came to Kylie’s defense, bashing Christian in an irate tweet: “I hate that I am bringing attention to this but this is absolutely disgusting that you would find this funny to mess with Travis & Kylie who just started a family together. “This is really damaging to relationships, families and is just so wrong!” Adding a note of levity to this otherwise dark episode, Scott addressed the prank in hilarious fashion: “I don’t be on balcony wit no thots. That s–t lame. Try again u trollssss. Me and my wifey sturdy. Back to celebrating!!!” He added: “Only got love for my wife.” We guess it’s time for the ” Kylie and Travis are secretly married ” rumors to resurface and replace the cheating rumors! Pretty savvy move by Travis, really. View Slideshow: Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner Make FIRST EVER Red Carpet Appearance

Scott Disick: Banging ALL of the Kardashians?!

Well, here's one we didn't see coming. There's a rumor going around that Scott Disick is sexing up basically the entire Kardashian clan. According to this bonkers theory, only Kim and Kylie are immune to Scott's charms. The rest of the family simply can't resist the allure of the Lord, it seems. Is Kris Jenner behind this insanity? Is it the work of bored tabloid writers? Is there a chance Scott is actually cheating on Sofia Richie with an entire family?! Here's what we know so far: 1. Lord of the Ladies Scott Disick apparently has a tremendous amount of time on his hands. 2. Scott on Top According to a trio of new rumors, Disick is not only still banging Kourtney Kardashian, he’s also sleeping with Kendall Jenner and Khloe Kardashian. 3. A Busy Man This, despite the fact that Scott has been dating Sofia Richie for over a year. 4. Breaking It Down So why is it that people are suddenly convinced that Scott is boning not only his baby mama but two of her sisters? 5. Good Question Well, the short answer is, “they’re bored, and it’s funny.” Here’s the long answer: 6. The Gavel That’s our new nickname for Scott, due to the constant rumors that he’s banging Kourt. Yeah, it’s not our greatest work. View Slideshow

Jessica Simpson to Natalie Portman: Stop Slut-Shaming Me!

Here’s an unexpected blast-from-the-past feud that’s sure to delight all you ’90s kids. Or it’s a very serious matter that speaks to the delicate issues of these divisive times. This is kind of a “choose your own adventure” story in that way. Natalie Portman and Jessica Simpson are still A-listers, but in 1999, they were two of the biggest names on the planet. And it seems that their careers and public images were headed in divergent directions even way back then. Natalie gave an interview to USA Today  this week as part of her promotional tour for her upcoming film Vox Lux . The movie is about a teen who unexpectedly becomes a pop star, so perhaps it should come as no surprise that Natalie remarked on one of the biggest pop stars from her own teen years: “I remember being a teenager, and there was Jessica Simpson on the cover of a magazine saying ‘I’m a virgin’ while wearing a bikini, and I was confused,” she told the newspaper. “Like, I don’t know what this is trying to tell me as a woman, as a girl.” It was an odd (though not necessarily offensive) remark, and Jessica was quick to clap back: “@Natalieportman I was disappointed this morning when I read that I ‘confused’ you by wearing a bikini in a published photo taken of me when I was still a virgin in 1999,” Simpson wrote on Instagram.  “As public figures, we both know our image is not totally in our control at all times, and that the industry we work in often tries to def8ine us and box us in,” she added. “However, I was taught myself, and honor the different ways all women express themselves,” she said. “Which is why I believed then, and believe now, that being sexy in a bikini is not synonymous with having sex.” “I have always embraced being a role model to all women to let them know that they can look however they want, wear whatever they want and have sex or not have sex with whomever they want. “The power lies within us as individuals.” Simpson concluded with a not-so-subtle allegation that Natalie is a hypocrite for making such comments despite her high-profile involvement with the Time’s Up movement. “I have made it my practice to not shame other women for their choices,” Simpson posted. “In this era of Times Up and the great work you have done for women, I encourage you to do the same.” Yeah, as much as we love Natalie, and as much as she may have intended no harm, we’re afraid Ms. Portman is gonna have to go ahead and take the L on this one. Jessica was a sex symbol in the late ’90s, a time in which young female pop stars were encouraged to dress and dance provocatively, all while insisting on their chastity and purity in interviews. It was a gross trend, but Jessica certainly wasn’t to blame for it, and she shouldn’t be forced to answer for it 20 years later. As a result of this misstep, Natalie will be forced to surrender half of her woke points and attend compulsory classes at the Lena Dunham Institute for Re-Wokening.

Sarah Hyland to Trolls: Your Horrible Negative Words Have Broken Me

Tragedy struck this weekend as Sarah Hyland lost her 14-year-old cousin in a car accident . Unfortunately, her sadness was compounded when a request to help her grieving relatives provoked a bitter backlash. Now, Sarah is sharing her distress and taking a break from social media. “You guys finally did it,” Sarah tweeted this week. A lot of people tweet hate in the hopes of ruining a vulnerable celebrity’s day. They must be patting themselves on the back right about now. “Your horrible negative ignorant words have broken me,” Sarah reveals. She asks: “Happy?” “Staying offline for a while,” Sarah announces. She does, possibly out of contractual obligations, have a planned exception to that step back. “I have a special announcement and video releasing on Wednesday I believe,” she writes. She is clearly dealing with a lot of strong, negative emotions. “So,” she concludes sadly. “There’s that.” Some people — perhaps some of the same haters responsible for the initial backlash — were less than sympathetic. “You only have yourself to blame for this backlash, unless there’s some massive detail we’re all missing,” snarled one reply. “Asking complete strangers to contribute to the funeral expenses of your own family member which you could easily pay for yourself is low-class and unconscionable,” the hater claimed. Others tempered their criticisms. “Not all of it is hate, some is genuine concern and condolences,” another wrote. “Some are questioning why you have to ask for help for such a tragic private family matter?” the tweet asked. “And yes, some is incredibly hateful,” they acknowledged. “Good luck with your life, live it well.” More fans rallied to support Sarah Hyland and to disparage her haters. “She shared the link that his family made to support the funeral,” pointed out a fan. “She more than likely has already helped the family out tremendously,” the tweet guesses. “Everyone commenting can stop being insensitive,” the fan continues. “And let her mourn the loss of her loved one.” The fan correctly points out: “Just because she has the money doesn’t mean they do.” “Don’t let these horrid monsters online break you,” another writes. “They aren’t worth it.” “But take some time to take care of yourself and your family,” the tweet concludes. “That’s what is important.” To simplify things, Sarah asked fans to consider donating to cover her young cousin’s funeral expenses. Some fans were outraged that a famous actress who is genuinely rich — and just got done vacationing in a private villa in the Virgin Islands — wants their money. They think that she should pay for it herself or shut the frick up, essentially. While it’s true that Sarah has an estimated net worth of about $9 million, we don’t know that much about her finances. Net worth is not the same thing as having a money bin like Scrooge McDuck. Net worth and liquid assets are not synonyms. We also don’t know the behind-the-scenes details of how she gets along with her family. Some people who acquire wealth have to set boundaries to stop their own families from milking them dry.  Maybe Sarah’s had a problem like that in the past. And, as her defenders suggest, perhaps she has already contributed, or has promised to contribute to the funeral costs. Who knows? What we can say for certain is that there is an easy solution when you see someone ask for money and you don’t think that you should give them money. Just don’t give them money. But whatever you do, please do not direct hate and vitriol at someone who is mourning the death of a child in their family.

The Voice Recap: Did Adam Levine Make a Mistake?

Two of Adam Levine’s acts were in the bottom three on Monday night’s episode of The Voice, and it injected a nice dose of drama into things.  Reagan Strange and DeAndre Nico shared some time in the bottom three with Blake Sheldon’s Dave Fenley.  Things took an explosive turn when it was revealed that Reagan Strange was unwell and would not be able to sing for the Instant Save.  Viewers were still able to vote for her meaning that she could be sent home if she did not garner enough votes. Yes, it was a bizarre twist in the tale, but that was not the end of it.  Adam then went on to use every single moment he could to plug Reagan and get viewers to vote for her. He even went as far as doing so right after DeAndre’s performance.  “There is an unbelievably talented little girl right now who is not able to fight for her position on this show,” Adam said. “The thought of breaking her heart by not urging everyone to give this girl a shot to go and redeem herself next week would be too far beneath me.” In any case, Dave and DeAndre got to perform one last time while Reagan spent the results show backstage.  Dave went with “Amazed,” and you could tell he was rattled by being in the bottom three. As much as he tried to sing, he was nervous, and his performance was a pitchy mess.  DeAndre’s rendition of “All of Me” was not much better. He’s been in the bottom several times, and given that Adam was legit plugging Reagan at every turn, there was really no hope for him.  In the end, Deandre and Dave were eliminated, meaning Reagan got to sing another day … despite not performing in the results show.  Yikes.  Kirk Jay (Team Blake), Kennedy Holmes (Team Jennifer), MaKenzie Thomas (Team Jennifer), Chevel Shepherd (Team Kelly), Sarah Grace (Team Kelly), Chris Kroeze (Team Blake and  Kymberli Joye (Team Kelly) were all sent to safety earlier in the episode.  Adam’s actions will likely stir up a lot of angst from fans, but is this the beginning of the end for Reagan? Hit the comments below.  The Voice continues Monday on NBC.  View Slideshow: The Voice Winners: RANKED!

Jael Strauss, America’s Next Top Model Alum, Dead at 34

Jael Strauss, the America’s Next Top Model contestant who revealed just two months ago that she had breast cancer , died Tuesday morning around 11 a.m. She was under hospice care at the time. And she was 34 years old. Insiders close to Strauss tell TMZ that her condition took a turn for the worse on Monday night, following several days during which Strauss was unconscious. Her family has been allowing visitors to see Jael, however, up until the final few hours of her life. It was clear at that point that the Season 8 hopeful did not have much time remaining. Strauss chose to stop chemotherapy around Halloween and went into hospice on Thanksgiving, writing on Facebook: “First night in hospice. So many things I never knew about life. Or death. So many things.” It was only a month or so before this transition that Strauss wrote a lengthy and emotional message to fans about her Stage IV breast cancer. Likely aware at the time that the diagnosis was fatal, she said: “It has aggressively spread throughout my body and is incurable.” “With treatment it may prolong my life longer than the ‘few months’ doctors said I could make it. I don’t want to die.” “I need another one of those miracles that I got back in 2013.” With this statement, Strauss was referring to a past battling the devastating affects of crystal meth addiction. This was something difficult and personal, and which she addressed publicly in an appearance on Dr. Phil in 2012. In August, just two months before the breast cancer diagnosis, Strauss celebrated five years of sobriety. This is what she wrote on Instagram in tribute to herself, her situation and all those who helped her along the way: I know a few things to be true: Miracles are real, Recovery is possible for everyone no matter how far gone you think you are, We are never too broken to be put back together. Service work feels better than the greatest high. Sobriety makes you weirder not normal and I’d be dead if it weren’t for all the love and forgiveness I’ve been showered with by my friends and family. View Slideshow: The Most Shocking Reality Star Deaths: Gone, But Not Forgotten A GoFundMe was opened for Strauss about a month ago that has thus far raised more than $18,000 to fund her treatment. SAid Jael’s family and friends to TMZ in a statement: “The one blessing was that we were able to show her how loved she was before she passed. She brought so much light to people.” As mentioned above, Strauss competed on the eighth season of America’s Next Top Model in 2007 and finished sixth in the competition. May Jael Strauss rest in peace.

Lindsay Lohan Exposes Cleavage, Explains Why She Got Punched In the Face

Remember when Kim Kardashian “broke the internet” with her ass-centric Paper magazine cover? Well, that iconic pic inspired more than just a Wreck-It Ralph sequel. Paper has been trying to recreate that web-shattering success ever since, but this year they’re relying less on nudity, and more on confessional interviews with the tabloid queens of yesteryear. First, Amanda Bynes opened up to the magazine revealing exactly what was going through her mind during the extended meltdown that brought an end to her acting career. Now, Lindsay Lohan is spilling the tea in hopes of receiving a similarly compassionate response from social media. There are two problems with that plan, of course: 1. Lindsay effed up so hard for so many years that it’s impossible to address all of her scandals in a single interview. 2. While Amanda was self-destructive, Lindsay often turns her destructive impulses outward , negatively impacting the lives of those who have the misfortune to cross her path: Lindsay Lohan Accuses Refugee Mother of Trafficking, Gets Punched in Face Remember when Lindsay got punched in the face while she was harassing a Middle Eastern family because she insanely assumed they had kidnapped their kids? Yeah, that’s some next-level bigoted paranoia, even by the standards of Trump Era America. So it’s a good thing that — even though Lindsay has a new reality show to promote — the folks at Paper decided to focus on that ugly incident in their Lindsay interview. We assume the interview basically started with, “So — what in the actual f–k was that?” At first, Linds, dodged the question, saying that she wouldn’t talk about it over the phone, but would tell her story face-to-face. Naturally, she totally failed made good on her promise: “There’s actresses, there’s several of them to my knowledge that don’t use Instagram or Twitter. But I feel like you sort of have to,” she said, by way of dodging the question. “It’s your way of controlling the narrative. I recently made the mistake of having my phone recording live video, and that I learned from,” Lindsay added. “But I think it’s also important because if you’re doing something and you want to give direct access to your fans, you can contact them and see their thoughts and get an opinion.” So after offering that lofty explanation over the phone, Linds flew into NYC from Mykonos like some coke-fueled Carmen SanDiego. She showed up to her Paper photoshoot on time (which her publicist hilariously told the reporter “to note”), but when the subject of her one-woman anti-human trafficking campaign came up, Lindsay was, unsurprisingly, “too tired” to talk. “I read the situation wrong,” she later said in an e-mailed statement. “I’ve learned from it. And that’s all I have to say.” Thanks for that insight, Linds. Anytime you get punched in the face and the whole world applauds, we think it’s safe to say you “read the situation wrong.” “I would love to know why I get constantly clobbered in the press,” Lindsay said in her interview. “I could do 99 things right and one thing wrong, but it’s that one thing that will be focused on.” Well, Lindsay, when the one thing you did wrong is harass an immigrant family for the crime of having accents, yeah — people are gonna focus on that. Asked about her hard-partying ways, the 32-year-old former actress stated that those days are behind her … for the most part. “I like to have fun, but that doesn’t mean I need to go out and drink and be crazy,” Lohan told the mag. “I have a good relationship with that. It’s funnier to watch other people party.” Wait, so she’s out there playing ICE agent completely sober?! Jeez, this situation is more serious than we thought.

Ariana Grande: THIS is How I Feel About Pete Davidson Now …

On Monday, Pete Davidson spoke out about bullying that he has received from people encouraging him to take his own life. It was strongly implied that at least some of these vicious trolls were misguided fans of Ariana Grande, his very recent ex. Ariana herself is speaking out in Pete’s defense. After Pete shared his heartfelt post, Ariana shared an image of it along with a message of her own in her Instagram Stories. “I know u already know this,” Ari tells her fans and followers. “But I feel I need to remind my fans to please be gentler with others.” That is a very delicate way of asking people to not be monstrous cyberbullies. “I really don’t endorse anything but forgiveness and positivity,” Ariana affirms. She then reminds everyone: “I care deeply about Pete and his health.” “I’m asking you to please be gentler with others,” Ariana emphasizes. She then says that she wants people to do so “even on the internet.” “I’ve learned through my own mistakes,” Ariana shares. “Not to be reactive on socials.” Sometimes, when you feel passionately about something, you speak out on social media. It can make you look like an ass. When you’re Ariana, however, your words can be incredibly powerful. An impulsive tweet could ruin someone’s day or their life. “So,” Ariana admits. “I do understand.” Ariana reminds her fans to have empathy and compassion for others. “You truly don’t know what anybody is experiencing ever,” Ari notes. And she follows that by speaking, very generally, about how people so often hide their pain. “Regardless of what they choose to display on social media or how they may appear in public,” she writes. In other words, just because Pete smiles and jokes on Saturday Night Live doesn’t mean squat. “I can promise u that,” Ari affirms. “So please,” she implores her followers. “Let whatever point you’re trying to make go.” We cannot emphasize enough how diplomatically Ariana is phrasing her message. This is smart — it’s a plea to her fans, rather than an attack which might only make people defensive. “I will always have irrevocable love for him,” Ariana writes. “And if you’ve gotten any other impression from my recent work,” she says. “You might have missed the point.” Her record-smashing song, “Thank U, Next,” was not a diss track — it’s a very positive breakup anthem. In his original post, Pete Davidson shared that the bullying that he received began before Ariana ended their engagement. “I’ve been getting online bullied and in public by people for 9 months,” he wrote. “I’ve spoken about BPD and being suicidal publicly,” he says. Pete has been very forthright about his struggles with mental illness and addiction, using his platform to help others. Pete writes that he has done so “only in hopes that it will help bring awareness and help kids like myself who don’t want to be on this earth.” Anyone imploring someone who struggles with suicidal ideation should also remember that they could be held liable for someone’s death. Remember that girl who texted encouragement to her boyfriend before he ended his life? Yeah. But, more importantly, bullying someone is monstrous. Whether you’re doing it because you don’t think they’re right for your favorite singer or because you think they were a bad fiance, just … be gentle. In general, just try being nice almost all of the time. View Slideshow: Ariana Grande DESTROYS Haters Over Disgusting Mac Miller Comments!

Anfisa Nava: Jorge’s Prison Sentence Ruined My Life!

After his sentencing in September, former 90 Day Fiance star Jorge Nava reported to prison . He expects to remain behind bars for two years. This leaves his wife, Anfisa, looking to fill a hole in her life. With an uncharacteristically heartfelt post to fans and some revealing photos, Anfisa is explaining how her life is different without Jorge. Beside two photos of Anfisa’s sculpted physique, she has poured her heart out to fans. “My husband got sentenced to 2.5 years in prison on Septeber 7,” Anfisa reminds her fans. “To be honest,” Anfisa writes. “It has been very hard on me.” Anfisa feels this way “because Jorge and I are not just husband and wife, but we are truly best friends.” “And,” she explains. “We used to share everything with each other.” These days, communication is difficult. “And, since we aren’t together physically now,” Anfisa begins. “And only get to talk to each other once a day,” she continues. She laments: “it feels like a big part of me was taken away.” Prison, especially for a non-violent “crime” like possession of a forbidden plant , can tear families apart. “I don’t normally talk about it,” Anfisa shares. She explains that she is so reticent “because I don’t like to show my emotions to the public.” “Especially,” Anfisa adds. “If I believe that it will make me look weak and pathetic.” That is extremely, consummately Russian of her. “It’s just the way I am,” Anfisa writes. In her eyes: “I’d rather be thought of as a ‘cold-hearted bitch’ than a ‘crybaby.'” “Now you are probably thinking ok what does this caption have to do with the pictures?” Anfisa writes. Most may have assumed that she shared the pics as a ploy to grab the attention of her followers so that they would read her captions. As it turns out, it’s a little more complicated than that. “And the answer is,” Anfisa says. “To fill the void that I felt after Jorge was sentenced and I was left on my own, I decided to try to stay busy.” Busy beyond her activities as a student, she means. “And do what I enjoy the most,” she continues. “And it was working out.” Anfisa even shares that she has goals beyond just keeping her mind off of her loneliness. She wants to compete. “And ONE DAY,” she writes. “I want to take it on a higher level and compete in NPC bikini division.” Most people of course read NPC as non-playable character, but in this case, she refers to the National Physique Committee. She’s talking about the extreme end of bodybuilding competitions. She wants to build up her muscle mass enough to compete. Hey, good for her. Anfisa also decries the negative feedback that she sometimes receives from haters. “It feels frustrating when some of you try to knock me down for doing what I love and enjoy,” she shares. Anfisa writes: “I know that many of you started following me on social media after seeing 90 Day Fiance.” “Well, I’m just letting you know that I’m going in a different direction now,” she says. In other words, if you don’t like it, you can unfollow. Anfisa concludes: “I’m very grateful to have people that are cheering me up.” View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance: Most Shocking Scandals Exposed!
