Kyle Richards: I SO Want Chrissy Teigen To Replace Lisa Vanderpump on RHOBH!!

With Lisa Vanderpump stepping down from the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills , major conversations are taking place as to who will replace the star.  Many women have been thrown into the discussion, including Kyle Richards’ sisters Kim and Kathy Hilton.  But Kyle thinks there’s someone much better fitted to fill the role on Bravo’s most successful franchise:  Chrissy Teigen!  Even though Kyle knows it’s “too preliminary” to replace Lisa, who quit the show earlier this month , she’s allowed to dream, right?  Yes. And we’re so here for it. 100%. “We’ve fantasized and talked about things,” Richards told Us Weekly while celebrating Paris Hilton’s partnership with The Glam app on Wednesday, June 19. “People always ask. I would say, Chrissy Teigen.” “But I know she won’t do it so I gotta think of somebody else now, because I know she’s never going to do it,” she said. And even though it does seem unlikely for John Legend’s wife to join the cast, nothing is impossible!  Besides, Chrissy lives a lavish lifestyle, resides in the neighborhood of Beverly Hills, and already has some experience in the world of reality TV.  So we will fancy the idea right along with Kyle, because yes, it is a good one.  Richards also took a moment to discuss current filming without her ex-bestie Vanderpump. “We have 21 episodes without her so, I mean it’s different,” she shared. “But you know, the show is doing well.” “So, you know it’s exciting,” she revealed to Us , “and there’s a lot going on with all the women.” “I miss her as a cast member and a friend, but the show is doing well.”  Though Richards and Vanderpump recently had a major falling out, Kyle is hopeful for the future of their friendship. She admits that she “would like to think” that they will reunite one day and continue their friendship.  “I’m sure one day it will be OK,” she states. But Lisa is shaking her head no. After Kyle accused her longtime friend of selling a story about Dorit Kemsley’s dog to the press, Lisa was screaming cheerio (we imagine) to her fellow castmate.  Following the drama, the  Vanderpump Rules star confirmed to Us that she was leaving the Bravo show after nine seasons.  “I made the decision to leave. It was a very difficult year for me, personally and professionally,” she said. “The housewives, it’s just, it’s emotionally too difficult to deal with.” Lisa even skipped the reunion taping this month because of all the chaos with the girls this season, also meaning she missed out on a large chunk of cash.  “Lisa only gets half of her pay for the season if she doesn’t go to the reunion, but she still chose not to go,” one insider told Us Weekly . “The women get half of their pay before shooting starts and the other half after the reunion.” “So Lisa lost money,” shared the source. But we don’t think the British restauranteur was too terribly affected by her lack of earnings that day.  In fact, it sounds like she is doing much better without all the negativity and drama that is the Housewives.  And as for Chrissy, well we think she would fit right in — offering her hilarious and mocking quips, of course.

Kylie Jenner Reveals She’s "SCARED" of Jordyn Woods in New Sneak Peek

In a previous sneak peek, we saw Kim and Khloe learn of Tristan's final cheating scandal . In this new Keeping Up With The Kardashians clip, she discusses it with her sisters and sounds angrier at Jordyn Woods than at Tristan. Shockingly, Kylie's in the same boat, and admits that she's now “scared” of her best friend. WTF? “Tristan — we all known what he was capable of,” Khloe says as the clip begins. “Look what he did when I was nine months pregnant,” she points out. “But,” Khloe says, turning to Kylie. “I knew who he was.” “I never in a million years thought that's who she was,” Khloe says to her youngest sibling. She is speaking, of course, of Jordyn Woods. It is then pointed out that Khloe wasn't the only one who never expected Jordyn to allegedly kiss her man. “No one believed it when it was online,” Kim Kardashian points out, referring to the general public. She adds: “Everyone thinks it's fake.” A lot of people still believe that reports about the incident are exaggerated. That said, more or less everyone is pretty sure that Jordyn made a mistake — even if that mistake was just not telling Khloe about the uninvited kiss. “I called her,” Kylie shares with her sisters. “And she didn't really say anything.” “She was just like, you know, crying the whole time,” Kylie says casually. Well, yes. Jordyn was losing her entire life because a notorious cheater kissed her. We'd be crying, too. It sounds like Kylie was feeling significantly less sympathetic. “And,” she says. “I was just telling her, 'I'm like scared of you now. Like, that you're capable of waking up the next morning with a smile on your face.'” Wow. “Then I pretty much told her exactly what we've been talking about,” Kylie reveals. “Like, 'You weren't thinking about True, not Khloe, not me,'” she recalls saying. Kylie continues to quote herself: “'But you weren't thinking about yourself like, look what you did.'” “You can do whatever,” Kylie clarifies. “But when it affects, like, my family, me, that's when it's a problem.” Interestingly, it's not clear how Jordyn is the culprit here, since Tristan had reportedly been cheating with multiple women in the weeks before this. This is when Kim chimed in to explain why she finds Jordyn's alleged behavior so unforgivable.  “But I also think that the tone of not ever saying sorry,” Kim begins. Kim is speaking very firmly, and explains why she thinks that Jordyn should have groveled at Khloe's feet like a peasant before a capricious warlord. “Like,” Kim says. “I would've been on Khloe's doorstep bawling my eyes out.” She says that she would have cried, “being like, 'F–k! I don't know what the f–k I was doing. Holy s–t, I'm a f–king idiot.'” This description of a hypothetical Kim feeling so repentant would be quite a sight to behold. It remains unclear why Khloe feels that Jordyn was the one who finally ended things with Tristan. Again, reports had been coming in for weeks of him actually hooking up with various other women. People wondered if he and Khloe were even still together. Maybe she just needed a target for her anger, and a familiar face suited her purposes just fine. Or maybe we'll find out why Khloe felt that way when we watch the gripping two-part season finale that starts this weekend.

Jenelle Evans: Did an Animal Rights Group Just Steal Her Business Website?

Jenelle Evans is not very popular these days. Come to think of it, Jenelle has never been very popular, but she's been even more reviled than ever in recent weeks. As you've likely heard by now Evans got fired from Teen Mom 2 and lost custody of her children last month.  Basically, Jenelle's life unraveled with astonishing speed, and it all started when her husband, David Eason, shot and killed the family dog . Yes, the man really executed an 11-pound French bulldog named Nugget during one of his infamous fits of rage. He and Jenelle have already paid a hefty price for that appalling act, but as they're about to learn, there are lots of animal lovers and David haters on the internet — and the #JusticeForNugget campaign for has only just begun. Take a look: 1. A New Low Jenelle was never the most responsible pet owner, but even longtime TM2 viewers — most of whom are painfully familiar with her selfishness and irresponsibility — may have found themselves in shock when she decided to stay with David after he executed Nugget while her children were at home. 2. The Absolute Worst At first, the details seemed too shocking to believe — David dragged the small dog outside and killed him with a shotgun while his horrified children cowered in terror. 3. Lifelong Trauma Jenelle later revealed that 11-year-old Maryssa hid in her room and didn’t emerge until the next day. 4. No Lessons Learned Apparently unaware that animal abuse is not great for one’s public image, Jenelle has taken to posting “homesteading” videos that show David — you guessed it! — manhandling and mistreating all sorts of frightened animals. 5. What a Guy At one point, David shoves a piglet into Nugget’s face. Yes, the same Nugget who was apparently so vicious he needed to be violently put down. 6. The Land of Violence We know that the videos are old, not only because Nugget is still alive when they were filmed, but because there were still children living with Jenelle and David at the time.

Philippe Zdar: Music Producer Dies After Falling Out of Window In Paris

French electronic music producer Philippe “Zdar” Cerboneschi died Wednesday in a freak accident .  Philippe, an influential artist famed for being a part of the electric duo Cassius, accidentally fell through a window of a high building in Paris.  According to a report in the New York Times , the death of the 52-year-old was confirmed by Zdar’s booking agent in an email to the outlet.  “He accidentally fell through the window of a top floor of a Parisian building,” wrote the agent.  The BBC further reports that the French police are investigating the cast as a routine accident.  Philippe teamed up with his Cassius partner Hubert “Boom Bass” Blanc-Francard in 1988. A year later, the two released their debut album “1999” which  went on to become a defining work of the electronic music genre known as “French Touch.” According to People , he worked with Phoenix on the French indie band’s album “Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix”, which won a Grammy for best alternative music album. Zdar’s beloved studio, Motorbass, was even used as a recording site for musicians like Kanye West and Pharrell Williams. This tragic news comes right before Cassius’ next album “Dreems” was set to release this Friday — he was scheduled to perform at NYC’s Summer Stage festival series in Central Park on Sunday.  Members of the music community who had worked with the late producer, or had been inspired by his work, are taking to social media to pay their tributes to the producer’s life.  Calvin Harris tweeted a YouTube link to the extended version of “1999” along with a personal heartfelt message. “Awful news about Phillipe Zdar, what an unbelievably lovely man with an incredible legacy,” he wrote. “I was mesmerized by this record at 15 years old.” Fellow French producer David Guetta shared a photo of Zdar, captioning the post: “Sad awakening here. I just heard Philippe Zdar from @CASSIUSOFFICIAL passed away.” “I can’t stop remembering amazing parties we had all together,” he said. “All my loving to your family, BoobBass and Pedro. RIP dg.” Phoenix also chimed in on Instagram with heavy hearts.  “Rest in Peace Zdar,” wrote the band. “I still remember watching the Wolfgang Diaries on YouTube.” “Still one of the best albums ever made,” said Phoenix, including a heart emoji. Producer Mark Ronson was “so f–king sad to learn about Philippe Zdar last night.” He tweeted that Zdar was a “true legend whose influence hangs over not just dance but indie, but hip hop, all of it.” “My condolences to his family and friends,” he wrote.  Zdar leaves behind his wife Dyane Cerboneschi and three children.  Our thoughts go out to his loved ones.
