Wow. We were NOT prepared for that . In the days leading up to the first part of the Keeping Up with the Kardashians season finale, E! has released several clips from the episode . They previewed how Khloe would learn the scandalous truth about boyfriend Tristan Thompson had kissed good friend Jordyn Woods , teasing the emotional fallout from such a decision. We had also read about this incident and covered it in depth over the past several months. And yet we were still surprised by what went down on Sunday night. How so? Why was this the case? Keep reading to find out… 1. A Busy Woman To open the episode, Khloe revealed that she had been experiencing migraines and nausea for the last couple of months. She was also in the process of moving into a rental home while she renovated her Calabasas mansion. 2. In Her Own Words “I get really bad migraines but they’ve been increasing more and more. And I don’t know if my migraines and nausea are caused by the same thing, I’m not really sure. Some days I feel great and I don’t feel nauseous at all and I don’t have a headache and I’m fine. And then the next day, the slightest thing might really upset me, and I get blindsided by them.” 3. Umm… Could She Have Been Pregnant? Khloe took a test to find out and it came back negative. “I don’t know if I could have handled it if it did say ‘positive’ at the moment. I’m happy that I’m not pregnant because I didn’t want to be, but with that being said, now I’m like, ‘Why the f-ck am I nauseous all the time?’ I almost wish I was so I could say that’s why I’m nauseous,” Khloe said afterward. 4. She Felt AWFUL “Literally my whole head feels bruised because it’s been pounding for so long and it’s terrifying,” she continued. “I’m supposed to go to Cleveland tomorrow to see Tristan, but the way I’m feeling right now, I don’t know if I can be on a flight like that. I’ve been throwing up blood. It’s so intense. I’m blind in my left eye.” 5. She Got an MRI. It Came Back Negative. So Khloe still didn’t have any answers… and now it was moving day and Tristan was actually in town. 6. Khloe Was Anxious “I want everything to be all fresh and perfect for him,” she explained. “But today I have a migraine again, and that’s just annoying because I want to see Tristan. I miss him.” View Slideshow
Source: gchutka / Getty Church Founder Charged With Several Counts Of Sexual Exploitation Of Minor Durham, North Carolina resident Phillip Stephen Stallings is facing several charges of sexually exploiting minors after he reportedly downloaded media that involved minors engaging in sexual activities. The self-proclaimed founder of the “Biblical Flat Earth Society” was arrested this week and charged with 56 counts of child sexual exploitation. According to ABC 11 News , Stallings was hit with 28 counts of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor and 28 counts of third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor. He was also served with outstanding warrants for financial card theft and cyberstalking. Raw Story reports: Stallings’s personal website promotes his belief that the Earth is flat and cites biblical justifications for this provably false belief. Stallings believes that there is a conspiracy among the so-called Illuminati to “cover up the flat Earth” that is “certainly connected to sun worship which goes all the way back to Nimrod and the tower of Babel. The fundamentalist christian’s secured bond has been raised to $500,000. Sick! SMH.
Another day, another Kardashian family vacation. But this trip may be, just possibly, the most interesting yet. Our thoughts go out to Sofia Richie, who HAS to be experiencing the worst FOMO right now and probably a little bit of jealousy, too. Ok, if she is actually a legitimate human she is probably feeling a lot of jealousy right now because her BF Scott Disick is currently vacationing with baby mama and ex GF Kourtney Kardashian in Costa Rica… While she was left out to dry! Well technically she is busy working in NYC, but the situation still undeniably sucks for the model. For those Keeping Up with the Kardashian fans who are already convinced that Kourtney and Scott’s killer co-parenting skills are just a ploy to hide their passionate love for each other, we hear you. Kourtney and Scott are on yet another vacation (it’s all they do, I swear) with their kids. The former couple took Mason, Penelope, and Reign to hang out with cousins North, Saint, and Chicago — and this time it involved getting their passports stamped. Yes, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are also on the family getaway. “They are all filming for the show,” a source told People . “They have a lot of ocean and rainforest activities planned.” On top of this already odd news, the families are planning to soak up the Costa Rica sun for two whole weeks! That’s a lot of time for Kourtney and Scott to fall back in love, just saying. And if that’s not their plan, then that’s a lot of time to spend with an ex. (hard pass) On Thursday Kourt shared a video to her Instagram Story that showed off her beautiful view featuring palm trees and a long infinity pool. And although this isn’t the first time the cordial exes have vacationed together, the timing is questionable. This vacay comes after multiple engagement rumors involving Disick, 36 and Richie, 20. Also, remember Kourtney and Disick’s trip to Bali where they met with a healer who basically said Kourtney and Scott were soulmates and are meant to be together? “Scott came in, and the guy was basically saying that in a past life that we were together, and that we’re soul mates,” she explained during a testimonial on KUWTK. “So he was like ‘You have to decide if you want to be together or not be together.'” Maybe this intimate trip is for them to finally decide? Or in a more boring world, and probably the right one, maybe the two just tagged along with Kimye because it’s summer and what else do they have going on? This trip marks six weeks after Kim and Kanye welcomed their fourth child together, Psalm, via surrogate. The KKW Beauty mogul shared the photo of her newborn on May 17, where she officially revealed to the world his rather unique name . “Beautiful Mother’s Day with the arrival of our fourth child,” Kanye wrote to Kim in a text message that she later shared to social media. “We are blessed beyond measure. We have everything we need,” read the message. Matriarch Kris Jenner explained the meaning behind the name Psalm to all of us on Entertainment Tonight. Although I don’t think it takes a genius to figure that one out, especially if you are aware of Kanye’s recent and highly publicized side gig — his Sunday church service. “The inspiration was the Book of Psalms in the Bible,” Kris revealed. “I think it’s just a wonderful way to celebrate how they feel.” “And he’s such a blessing, so it’s perfect,” said Kris. We’re sure the fam is enjoying their time together and giving baby Psalm all the love. And as for Kourtney, Scott, and Sofia — well they’re apparently cool with one another. They’ve gone on vacations together in the past and even successfully snapped one of the most iconic IG photos ever. But we can’t help but doubt their current situation, I mean it’s hard to imagine that no one will end up feeling betrayed in this 3-way scenario. As Kourtney and Scott said in a recent video which they shared to Poosh, “I couldn’t imagine raising three children with somebody I couldn’t speak to every day.” “I think other people think if they were in [our] position, they couldn’t do it,” Scott said. Yep, you’ve got that right! But then again, we couldn’t imagine what it is like to be in a Kardashian’s position. View Slideshow: Scott Disick: Banging ALL of the Kardashians?!

The Claws star hosted an intimate lunch for NYC media, where she opened up about how Desna’s nail shape correlates to her fiery personality and why she loves being pampered. “I’m a coffin girl in my real life,” she revealed. “But Desna is a stiletto. We all have a different nail shape on the show. Virgina is coffin. Polly is oval. Jen is square and Ann is more natural — a very short length. We all have a different nail on the show that speaks to our personalities. But in my real life, I’m much more of a coffin girl.” Niecy’s biggest co-stars are her nails, which means they require a lot of attention. To care for her natural nails, Niecy has been wearing custom press-ons during her press runs. “It puts a lot of wear and tear on your nails when you’re on a show like this. My natural nails, I’ve been wearing them a lot more often. For my press run I do my custom press-ons just to give them a break.” View this post on Instagram Too much fun in these streets! Swipe to see who’s nails I’m doing!! she motivational, fun & cute as a button… love you too Tracy! A post shared by Niecy Nash (@niecynash1) on May 29, 2019 at 2:47pm PDT And Niecy isn’t just pretending to know how to do nails on the show, she actually underwent nail tech training, but opts out of doing her own nails. “They put us through school and training to know how, but no,” she joked. “I like to be taken care of. I work so much and it’s not just the acting, it’s the care for the people even when you’re not on set.” With such a busy schedule, “to be able to have a beat to have someone take care of you, I sign up for it.” Claws airs every Sunday at 9pm on TNT.

Now, the mother of said child is basically saying she hasn’t been keeping the kid away, Hounsou is just absent. Well damn. Actually, it’s what source closes to Kimora are saying. Reports TMZ : Sources closely tied to Kimora say Djimon’s recent griping that he wasn’t able to see his son, Kenzo, for the holiday — and suggesting it was Kimora’s fault — is completely backward … ’cause he had every opportunity to make plans, but simply didn’t. You’ll recall … Djimon told a pap this week that he’d gotten screwed out of seeing — let alone being able to talk to — his son, and seemed to be pointing the finger at his baby mama. We’re told Sunday’s missed opportunity to get together with the kid is just the latest in what we’re told has become common in their relationship … that Djimon allegedly doesn’t go out of his way to make plans. Our sources — who are directly knowledgeable about this — tell us Kimora has an open door policy when it comes to visitation. We’re told she encourages the whole fam coming together as often as possible — holidays, birthdays, etc. — but Djimon hardly ever takes her up on it. The tea is scorching.

After some disgusting hacker accessed her private photos, Bella Thorne shared her own pics to rob her blackmailer of any power over her. It was a courageous move, but unfortunately, Whoopi Goldberg used her time on The View to victim-blame Bella. Whoopi scolded her for photographing her body at all, but now Bella is tastefully clapping back. Whoopi had a truly appalling response to Bella Thorne's photos being hacked. “If you're famous,” she admonishes on The View . “I don't care how old you are, you don't take nude pictures of yourself.” Sunny Hostin attempts to interject, but Whoopi barrels on. “Listen,” Whoopi demands. “When they're hacking you, they're hacking all of your stuff.” “So whether it's one picture or a million pictures,” she continues. “Once you take that picture, it goes into the cloud.” “And it's available to any hacker who wants it!” Whoopi says. “You don't know that? In 2019? That this is an issue?” she unfortunately continues. “I'm sorry … you don't get to do that,” Whoopi admonishes. Almost every part of what Whoopi just said is wrong — both morally and factually. Bella saw Whoopi's tirade and had some words of her own. Bella took to her Instagram Stories and, through tears, clapped back at Whoopi. “Dear Whoopi, I have loved you for so long,” Bella begins. “But honestly,” she admits. “I'm so displeased and saddened by your response to my leak.” “Blaming girls for taking the photo in the first place? Is sick and honestly disgusting,” Bella states. She adds: “I'm offended for anyone out there who has ever taken a sexy photo.” “I am offended for Jennifer Lawrence,” Bella notes. “Who feels publicly raped.” “I am offended for every person who has committed suicide for someone leaking their nudes,” she expresses. “Ur view on this matter is honestly awful,” Bella correctly assesses. “And,” she replies. “I hope u change ur mindset as u are a show talking to young girls.” “I'm not going to lie, I want to say I feel pretty disgusting, Whoopi, knowing everyone's seen my s–t,” Bella admits. She shouldn't feel disgusting, but that's the effect that vile hackers can have upon their victims. “And I just want to say that me watching this interview made me feel really bad about myself,” she adds. “And I hope you're happy. I really do,” “I really hope you're so f–king happy,” Bella expresses. “Because I can only imagine all the kids who have their s–t released and then they commit suicide.” “So,” she laments. “You're so crazy for thinking such terrible things on such an awful situation.” “Shame on you, Whoopi,” Bella admonishes. “Shame on you,” she repeats. “And shame on you for putting that public opinion just out there like that.” People voicing these toxic opinions furthers pernicious cultural forces like rape culture, slut-shaming, and victim-blaming. Bella is upset that Whoopi said those words “for every young girl to think that they're disgusting for even taking a photo like that.” Now, Bella may have pushed things a little far by mentioned people who have committed suicide. Yes, some people who were similarly blackmailed with their own nudes have taken their lives. But they're usually minors, not celebs. But Bella's point still holds up — that Whoopi is placing the blame on the wrong person. Owning a television or jewelry does not make you foolish, even if those things get stolen. Having a body, no matter how you're dressed (or not dressed), does not justify sexual assault. And yes, even famous people can take photos of themselves — and it's never their fault if those photos are hacked or shared. We also mentioned that Whoopi was factually mistaken. You actually don't have to save all of your photos to cloud storage. Having backups is smart, but many phones have the option of keeping your photos secure. If you're sending your pictures to someone, it's smart to make sure that they, too, are not backing up photos on the cloud. But even if you don't take that safety step, the only person to blame for stealing or sharing your nudes is the person who steals or shares them.
Source: Will Sterling / Will Sterling Before the Dancing Dolls became reality TV stars with lavish costumes that shimmer when they buck, Dianna Williams (better known as Miss D) sketched their costumes in her living room. Under the guidance of a woman named Mrs. Pat, she learned about costume design and styling. And after a manufacturer would create her concepts, she’d go to work bedazzling them with her weapon of choice, a hot glue gun. “I designed every costume the Dancing Dolls have worn since the team was founded. I sat and drew the costumes. I decided where the cloth was going to go, where the sequins were going to go,” she said passionately during a candid chat. “Most people don’t know that for the first 14 years that the dancing dolls were around. I did the Dancing Doll uniforms all by hand. I did everything I needed to do for those girls costumes.” Miss D has always been obsessed with dolls and dollhouses. “I always used to make my dolls dance,” she revealed. Dianna started the Dancing Dolls when she was 21. She began coaching straight out of college with the support of her grandmother who owned a daycare — the Pied Piper Playhouse where the Dancing Dolls started. “She allowed me to have practice there. She allowed me to start the group there. She sewed their very first dancing uniforms.” When it came to getting uniforms, a dance company Jazzy Dancers was pivotal in clothing the girls. Mrs. Pat and Mr. Skip owned the only dance company in Jackson, Mississippi that sold costumes. “She told me what kind of boots I needed, what type of fish nets and tights to buy the girls because I had no clue.” Source: Stephen J. Cohen / Getty Inspired by Jacksonville University’s Prancing J-Settes collegiate dance team around the corner, it was important for the Dancing Dolls to look as professional as they moved. “I watched them. I seen what it is that they did. I wanted my girls to look like that. I patterned everything behind this upscale collegiate organization that was at a college I inspired to go to ever since I was a little girl. It didn’t matter that I didn’t make the team, I still wanted to make sure my girls had a prestigious look,” she explained. “I created the dancing dolls to give the kids to have something positive to do in our community. Living in Jackson, Mississippi, there’s not a lot to do there. I wanted to create something the kids could be proud of.” She later founded the Dollhouse Dance Factory, which became a pillar in the community. Much of their success can be attributed to Youtube, which has been a huge marketing tool for the Dancing Dolls. “I’ll never forget the user God’s First Dime, she was the first person to put together these videos of the Dancing Dolls. If you type in mini J-Settes you will find a bunch of old footage.” The Dancing Dolls were discovered after Madonna performed at the Super Bowl using the Southern University Dancing Dolls as her background dancers. “I’ll never forget, I got an e-mail and phone call from Pilgrim studios who wanted to do a reality show on the Dancing Dolls. I think they thought they were contacting them.” Hesitant it was a scam, Dianna didn’t immediately respond. “Come to find out they had done their research and realized that the Dancing Dolls that was on the Super Bowl were not the same Dancing Dolls they thought that had. They had Googled Dancing Dolls and my $2.99 GoDaddy website popped up.” But God makes no mistakes and upon further research, they discovered their Youtube videos. The DD4L brand has grown tremendously since then, branching off into several seasons of Bring It and a Bring It! Live Tour . Source: Bryan Bedder / Getty “The Bring It! Live tour has been a way for us to engage with our fans on a more personal, live level. People watch the show and believe some of the tricks the girls do are just camera tricks but they’re not. Watching them perform on TV and not hearing the real music versus watching them live is a completely different feel. Being at a Bring It! Live show is like being at a rock concert. They’re standing, they’re screaming for their favorite doll.” And chances are, you’re favorite doll will be there. “We have a new crew going on the tour, but we also have old familiar faces. Kayla will be there. Everybody loves Kayla. Sunjai will be there this year. Kenjanae has always been a force, she’s that good, she’ll be there.” And there are some surprise dolls who will be on the tour, but it hasn’t been announced yet! Get tickets for the Bring It!
