Dina Lohan’s Catfish Fiance Comes Forward: We’re Totes Getting Married!

Before she got booted out of the house earlier this month, Dina Lohan was one of the stars of the current season of Celebrity Big Brother . And in her relatively short time on the show, Lindsay’s mom made quite an impression. This was largely a result of Dina making some pretty bonkers comments about her relationship — which at the time appeared to be completely imaginary. In conversation with her housemates, Dina revealed that she was planning to get married to a man she had never met. Not only that, in the five years that the couple had been “dating” at the time, Dina said she had never once Skyped of FaceTimed with the guy. So it’s not hard to see why many jumped to the conclusion that Dina is either lying, out of her mind, or being played for a fool. On Twitter, even Lindsay begged her mom to stop with the “crazy catfish” talk . The master angler himself, Nev Schulman, took to Instagram to suggest that Dina allow him to help her hunt this guy down. All-in-all the whole situation seemed about as believable as your eighth-grade buddy whose model girlfriend went to a private school in Canada. But today, the story took a surprising turn. Radar Online has tracked down Dina’s beau , Jesse Nadler, and not only does he exist — he totally wants to marry her. “I am going to marry the girl,” says the shockingly extant Nadler. “I know it’s crazy because we haven’t met. But we have amazing chemistry,” he adds. “We get on the phone and talk about everything under the moon. She’s talked to my mother, my niece.” In a way, we guess it makes sense that Nadler proposed without ever having met Dina. Marrying into the Lohan clan is like joining ISIS — it’s something you need to commit to online before you witness the savagery of the situation and lose your nerve. “Even though we haven’t been physically in the same room, it’s like we are two kids,” Nadler tells Radar. “We talk about big things, little things, what we had for dinner, breakfast, we just talk. There’s no way that’s going to change.  “You know when you talk to someone on the phone, like you feel like you know them?” Nadler concludes by being all like, no really, I exist: “I’m not a catfish and fake guy who steals photos,” he says. “I didn’t like the term ‘catfish.’ Anyone who cons people, who creates false personas and photos rubs me the wrong way and really upsets me. “I’m a real guy. And Dina is happy that people don’t think she got catfished. That’s embarrassing.” Sadly, Nadler and Dina still haven’t met — but they recently took a major step forward in their romance: “We have been FaceTiming three to five times a day,” Jesse says. “We’ve been talking like crazy!” Jeez, get a room, you two!

Meghan Markle: Victimized By Fraudulent Revenge Porn on Twitter

As you may have heard, Meghan Markle was in New York City this week for a baby shower hosted by a handful of her closest friends. While the celebration was reportedly a rather pricey affair — as is customary for well-heeled public figures in any line of work — the bill was footed entirely by Meghan’s A-list associates, a group that includes Serena Williams and Amal Clooney . Based on the backlash, however, you would have thought that the whole thing was taxpayer funded. The British tabloid press — which has been relentlessly critical of Meghan from the time her relationship with Prince Harry was first made public — claims that the royals are angry about the shower , as such customs are considered beneath her station. And then there was this woman who donned a mask and took to the streets to repeatedly shout the phrase “charlatan duchess” at Markle. (Note to Crazy Lady: This is America. If you want to make headlines for being racist in the streets, you’ll need a more scathing insult than “charlatan.”) Sadly, the harassment that Meghan received on the streets of Manhattan gave way to a less immediately dangerous, but equally virulent strain of pestering on social media. British bird cage-liner The Sun tweeted about the Masked Dumbass and the comments quickly devolved into the sort of troll-fest that Twitter has sadly become known for. Thankfully, the site deleted a tweet in which the user suggested that Meghan should be shot. Unfortunately, it appears administrators have been unable to keep up with the deluge of hate directed at Meghan, as the harassment campaign continues, mostly unabated. The above screenshot was sent to The Hollywood Gossip by a reader who claims that the “Kozi” account is one of several alternates used by Meghan’s half-sister, Samantha Markle. Please note that while we have reported extensively on Samantha’s harassment of Meghan in the past, we were unable to substantiate the claim that she is the owner of the account or the author of the tweet displayed here. Regardless of who’s responsible, however, one glimpse at a thread like this might be enough to convince you that the targeted harassment campaign against Meghan is far more serious than you had realized. Particularly appalling is the content posted by a user who goes by the handle @YankeeWally, in reference to Wallis Simpson — the American actress whose intended marriage to Edward VIII resulted in the king’s abdication. The account tweeted two photos that claim to show Meghan in various states of undress. We will not be reproducing or linking to them, both because they’re likely fraudulent and because posting explicit photos without the subject’s consent constitutes an act of sexual assault. But let it be known that this is the sort of harassment Meghan endures for committing the unforgivable sin of marrying into a high-profile family. And if you’re as disgusted as we are, feel free to tag @jack and @twittersupport in your complaints. View Slideshow: Meghan Markle: 19 Cruelest Things Her Own Family Has Said About the Duchess

Christian Carino: Caught Cheating on Lady Gaga Prior to Breakup?!

For much of the past week, reports that Lady Gaga and Christian Carino have called it quits  circulated non-stop on social media. The singer’s solo appearance at the Grammys prompted the initial round of rumors, and today, it seems that the Gaga-Carino breakup has been confirmed . Neither party has spoken about the split directly, but statements from “insiders” have all the hallmarks of approved comments from reps. If we had to speculate, we would guess that Gaga wants to make the breakup official without distracting from the run-up to the Oscars, where she’s nominated for best actress for her role in A Star Is Born . Reps for Gaga — sorry, “sources” — have denied that there was any precipitous event that led to the split.  Instead, they’ve been pushing the agenda that the breakup is old news, and the couple simply grew apart. “It just didn’t work out. Relationships sometimes end,” a source tells People magazine, adding that the pair split “a bit ago.” “There’s no long dramatic story,” the insider continues. According to a new report from Radar Online , however, Gaga ended the relationship abruptly after learning that Christian had been spotted in the company of a “mystery brunette” earlier this month. “Christian was sitting in the Sunset Tower restaurant on Friday night with a pretty brunette,” an eyewitness tells Radar. “They were holding hands and it looked like a romantic date.” The idea that Christian would conduct an affair so openly is a bit puzzling, obviously. Perhaps he didn’t think he would be recognized, or maybe he was just got caught up in a flirtatious moment. Whatever the case, it seems word of the encounter was enough to convince Gaga that Carino is not the guy for her. Or maybe the hand-holding and the breakup are unrelated. In any event, Gaga was a solo act as she walked the red carpet at the Grammys just days later. And it’s safe to assume she’ll be on her own at the Oscars on Sunday, as well. Gaga is not considered the favorite for the Oscar — most prognosticators have Glenn Close as the frontrunner — but this year’s field is pretty wide open. And of course, whether she goes home empty-handed or not, Gaga took a major step forward this year by proving that she has real chops as a dramatic actress. So despite her latest bad romance, we’re guessing the Mother Monster is still enjoying the final days of her Oscar campaign.

Burberry Apologizes for Sweatshirt With Noose Around Neckline

This is the kind of easily preventable dumb stuff that should never have gotten as far as it did. Burberry is publicly apologizing after one of its recent pieces of clothing caused a stir — and outrage — over the weekend. At London Fashion Week, they strutted a model out onto the runway with a noose dangling from their neck. Oh no . Content warning : this post continues numerous noose images for reference. Burberry was first called out by one of their own models, Liz Kennedy, who wrote on Instagram: “Suicide is not fashion,” Liz writes. “It is not glamorous nor edgy and since this show is dedicated to the youth expressing their voice, here I go.” “Riccardo Tisci and everyone at Burberry,” she says. “it is beyond me how you could let a look resembling a noose hanging from a neck out on the runway.” “How could anyone overlook this and think it would be okay to do this?” she asks. Liz adds: “Especially in a line dedicated to young girls and youth.” “The impressionable youth,” Liz emphasizes. “Not to mention the rising suicide rates world wide.” “Let’s not forget about the horrifying history of lynching either,” she adds. “There are hundreds of ways to tie a rope,” she notes. “And they chose to tie it like a noose completely ignoring the fact that it was hanging around a neck.” “A massive brand like Burberry who is typically considered commercial and classy should not have overlooked such an obvious resemblance,” she writes. Liz notes that she herself struggled with suicidal ideation as a teen. This was personal for her as it is for so many others. Marco Gobbetti issued a public apology. “We are deeply sorry for the distress caused by one of the products that featured in our [Autumn/Winter] 2019 runway collection Tempest,” Gobbetti writes. Notably, all images of that particular garment have been purged from the website. Tisci wrote: “I am so deeply sorry for the distress that has been caused as a result of one of the pieces in my show on Sunday.” “While the design was inspired by a nautical theme, I realize that it was insensitive,” Tisci acknowledges. “It was never my intention to upset anyone,” Tisci concludes. “I will make sure that this does not happen again.” Those experiencing suicidal depression could be hit with overpowering suicidal urges from exposure to certain images. One can think of these triggers like allergies . Harmless to most of us, but deadly to some. But, as Liz acknowledges, the noose is perhaps first and foremost evocative of lynching. Thousands of black Americans died by lynching in the United States. As you can see from the couple of sample headlines we have icnluded, the noose has become a symbol of intimidation and hate. Lynchings are a horrifying part of America's past — and the imagery persists because racism persists. The noose has been used to intimidate black people at work, on school campuses, and at their homes. We have all seen footage in which effigies of President Obama lynched were waved about during protests. No one genuinely believes that Burberry was trying to subtly intimidate or harass black audience members with their clothing line. But this kind of mistake should not still be happening in 2019. We cannot afford to be thoughtless. Short of a swastika, just about the worst symbol to wear around your neck is a noose.

Icon: The Rihanna Google Challenge Sparks Fashion Inspiration Just In Time For RiRi’s B-Day

Source: Jamie McCarthy / Getty The world has a lot of fashion icons to drool over whenever we’re searching for inspiration, admiration, or just plain soul-snatching looks. But not every icon is so consistent that they have a noteworthy get-up for every day of the year. Rihanna doesn’t know anything about this life, however, because according to Google, she slays 365 days a year. One Twitter user brought attention to her consistency just in time for RiRi’s February 20 birthday. According to Teen Vogue , Shari, who goes by @ChipNudePolish on Twitter, prompted her followers to Google Image search Rihanna’s name and their birth date. She tweeted on Sunday, “Google Rihanna and your birthday to see which outfit you get.” Her tweet included an example for her own birthday with Rihanna wearing a lavender fringe dress on February 25 for the 2016 BRIT Awards.

To put it lightly, every look was definitely a shmood.

(@theyonndon) February 17, 2019   Shari told Teen Vogue , “I was inspired by a tweet I saw floating around earlier that morning.” According to Shari, users were doing a similar search game for Beyonce ‘s best looks, so she decided to follow suit with RiRi. “With Rihanna’s birthday on the horizon, I figured why not,” Shari said. As of Tuesday, over 6,000 users have responded to Shari’s initial tweet. The engagement definitely came as a surprise to the 25-year-old Brooklyn resident. “It’s a tad bit overwhelming,” she said. “I was just sitting on my couch watching the responses just roll it. I loved seeing everyone’s outfits and responses!” Now that the Rihanna horoscope is in full swing, Shari is hoping the challenge might grab Rihanna’s attention. “I would probably FAINT! Seriously!” Shari said, imagining RiRi’s reaction to the meme. “Of course, no one would hear the last of it. Rihanna, if you see this…..I LOVE YOU! P.S. Where’s the album?!!!” RiRi’s everyday fashion will definitely set the record straight for generations to come. If this challenge doesn’t proves anything, it proves Rihanna has various styles in her arsenal to knock the cameras dead, no matter the occasion. It further cements her CFDA Style Icon award back in 2014 . She famously accepted her award in a shimmering see-through gown decorated by more than 216,000 Swarovski crystals. In the words of Rihanna on that night, “You will never be stylish if you don’t take risks.” Now with the recent Rihanna Google challenge, may RiRi inspire our risk-taking for every day of the week.

Larissa Lima Displays New Face, Hair After Dramatic Beauty Makeover!

Just days ago, 90 Day Fiance star  Larissa Lima underwent a glow-up , promising a dramatic beauty makeover. At the time, she hid her new face from fans, promising to show it off to followers who “stay tuned.” Now, Larissa has unveiled her triumphant new look! See it for yourself: Larissa Lima shared a series of videos with her fans and followers. “Hello guys!” Larissa's first video begins. “New life, new hair!” she happily proclaims. She's showing off a new, fresher hairstyle that is really working for her. It even looks like her hair, which was always thick, is more full-bodied. It's great. “I love it,” she affirms. Larissa continues on a more personal note, addressing her supporters. “I would like to say that I'm truly thankful,” Larissa begins. She continues: “for having a lot of followers that supported me.” Her followers give her social media clout and even donated to her GoFundMe to help her with expenses. “And,” Larissa concludes, her followers “give me a lot of good advice.” Larissa then shared another video in which she delivered the same message in Portuguese. Larissa's third video features her again, in different lighting. On the screen, the words “Kill that lightee” appear. “I just would like to show you guys that my foundation is still good,” Larissa says under the new lighting. “That light — that light — made up-up all of the brightness,” she accuses. Larissa then winks and blows a kiss at her fans and followers. So now comes the tricky part: what has changed on her face? We have to say that her face looks so similar to her usual self that, at first, we didn't notice much of anything. Larissa has never really had thin lips, and her cheekbones have always been fairly prominent. But we think — and makeup and lighting could definitely be factors here — that her upper lip looks a little fuller these days. Now, maybe we're just assuming because we so recently saw the photo of Larissa staring down a syringe. But maybe she got lip fillers in her upper lip. Did Larissa get more done to her lower lip, or any other fillers? We're not sure. Given the level of transparency that she has been willing to show, we imagine that she'll answer that sooner or later. In the mean time, she's definitely not upgrading her look in order to land a new man, despite what she'd joked in her initial post. Why? Because she already has one. Larissa already has a young, hot boy-toy  just a little over a month after her brutal breakup with Colt. She has not revealed his name, but he is of Italian ancestry and he is 26 years old. She says that her new man is not interested in fame and that he's not big on social media in general. (Opposites attract, we suppose) However, Larissa has revealed that at least some of her fans will get to see him. She says that her mystery boy will be at her divorce party at the beginning of March.

Sean Milliken, My 600-lb Life Star, Dead at 29

Sean Milliken, a former cast member on the long-running reality show, My 600-Lb. Life died on February 17 due to complications from an infection. He was 29 years old. This sad piece of news was confirmed by Sean’s father via an emotional Facebook post. “Sean was admitted into the hospital a couple days prior, because of an infection,” Matt Milliken wrote, adding in further detail: “Sunday he was having problems with his breathing, they were able to resuscitate him and a short time later his heart stopped.” The heartbroken father described his son as a “good man” with a “good heart” in this same message. According to Radar Online, Milliken was living in Texas in an apartment by himself prior to his death. His friend, Ashley Boone, told this celebrity gossip site that Sean would be remembered as a “special” guy,” adding: “He was definitely a loner and kept to himself but once you knew him he opened up and showed his witty side. He was extremely funny, artistic and kind.” Milliken appeared on one episode of My 600-lb Life back in 2016. The episode chronicled how he became bedridden during his senior year of high school after he grew to be over 400 pounds and suffered a debilitating leg injury. At one point, Milliken weighed as much as 900 pounds. The same year he appeared on this reality program, Milliken told People Magazine he was planning on moving to Houston to see if he could qualify for weight loss surgery. It’s unclear at the moment whether he ever followed up on this plan or went under the knife for any type of gastric bypass procedure. “I’m not 100 percent certain this is the right decision to make,” Sean said in a clip from the show, referring to his move. “I am extremely nervous about this trip. It’s going to take anywhere from 30 to 40 hours to drive there. I’m very worried about that. If I fall, we won’t be near the hospital for people to pick me up.” Sean also explained during his brief stint in the spotlight that he started his weight gain as a result of his rough relationship with his father. “It was scary. So I would eat. And suddenly I felt a lot better,” he said. “In that moment, nothing else mattered. … I felt like it was my fault, I felt like my family had fallen apart because of me. “So I kept going to food to deal with those feelings. I would get out of school and my mom would be at work, so I would just come home and go straight to the fridge. I’d eat everything and anything I could get my hands on. I “I started gaining probably 50 pounds. a year, and by the time I was in high school I was over 400 pounds.” Milliken is only the latest former star of My 600-lb Life to pass away. This isn’t really surprising, considering the health problems of those on whom this series chooses to focus. In August of 2018,  James “L.B.” Bonner committed suicide . Just a few weeks later, Lisa Fleming also died . May they all rest in peace. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2019: In Memoriam

Everything We Know About Jussie Smollett’s Allegedly ‘Orchestrated’ Attack

Here is the original post:

Source: VALERIE MACON / Getty It’s nearly impossible to scroll social media without coming across a headline about Jussie Smollett . The Empire actor is engulfed in controversy after accusing two men of attacking him during a late night in Chicago. Smollett said he was punched in the face, had bleach poured on him and he suffered a bruise on his face. He also accused the attackers of yelling, “this MAGA country n*gger” and putting a noose around his neck. Since then an array of reports have come out that portray Smollett as a “liar.” Smollett has been accused of “orchestrating” the attack with two Nigerian brothers who also appeared on Empire. Here’s everything we know about the incident so far: Days before the attack, a threatening and racist letter addressed to Smollett was sent to CBS Chicago with a powdery substance inside that appeared to be Tylenol. Smollett was allegedly attacked by two men in Streeterville, Chicago early Jan. 29 morning after going to Subway He hesitated to call the police because of his pride but fully cooperated when he finally did contact them. Smollett revealed police didn’t initially ask him for his phone records, but wanted his phone. He didn’t hand it over because he had valuable and personal information in his phone. He did submit his phone records within an hour of the attack but they were redacted versions and the police needed more information. Jussie’s celebrity friends and fans of the actor came to his defense, calling out the forces who give energy to the MAGA movement and condemning racism. President Trump called the incident, “horrible.” “Doesn’t get worse,” he added. A police investigation turns up no surveillance footage of the attack, but shows two “persons of interest.” In his first performance after the attack, Jussie called himself the “gay tupac.” Jussie Smollett does Good Morning America interview, giving details about the alleged attack. According to his testimony, the attacker punched him and he struck him back. “We started tussling, it was very icy.” He added, “There was a second person involved who was kicking me in my back.” Apparently, his manager was on the phone during the attack. “Then I looked down and noticed there was a rope around my neck.” The homes of Olabinjo and Abimbola Osundairo, who were seen on the surveillance video, were raided. They were arrested but quickly released. “Due to new evidence as a result of today’s interrogations, the individuals questioned by police in the Empire case have now been released without charging.” BREAKING:Police raided the home of two persons of interest in Jussie Smollett case last night. Both men are of Nigerian decent and have appeared as extras on the show. Police took bleach, shoes electronics and more.Officers asked family if they knew #Jussiesmollett . @cbschicago pic.twitter.com/PDSFtf5jwb — Charlie De Mar (@CharlieDeMar) February 14, 2019 According to the brothers, they rehearsed the attack with Smollett days before the incident. They reportedly scouted a spot to orchestrate the attack where cameras would catch it. Apparently Jussie wanted the incident to be “physical” but not too harmful. They “made contact with Jussie’s face” but it was “weak.” The “attack” wasn’t caught on camera like Jussie had originally thought because cameras were facing north// away from where the incident occurred. Countless celebs have come out against Jussie after reports surfaced claiming the “attack” was orchestrated. “As a victim of a hate crime who has cooperated with the police investigation, Jussie Smollett is angered and devastated by recent reports that the perpetrators are individuals he is familiar with,” said defense lawyers Todd S. Pugh and Victor P. Henderson in a statement obtained by Deadline. “Nothing is further from the truth and anyone claiming otherwise is lying.” Jussie’s role on Empire has reportedly been “slashed” in the wake of the allegedly staged attack. He was originally supposed to be in nine episodes, featuring one big musical scene. His sister Jurnee posted this message on social media. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jurnee Smollett Bell (@jurneebell) on Feb 18, 2019 at 11:17pm PST Jussie will plead his case in front of a grand jury who will decide if he should be indicted on charges for filing a false police report. The Osundairo brothers volunteered to testify.
