The Real Housewives of New York Recap: Was That the Most Embarrassing Episode Ever?

There was a lot of drama on Wednesday’s The Real Housewives of New York City, but all of that was overshadowed by Dorinda Medley, Ramona Singer, and Sonja Morgan making fools of themselves.  The trio attended a charity event for survivors of childhood sexual abuse, and it was only a matter of time before they said something they should not have.  Ramona spearheaded the event with the CEO of NY Loves Kids Bridie Farrell. Together, they threw an auction benefitting the organization.  They wanted to raise more awareness to the group to eliminate the statute of limitations for victims to report abuse.  Things got off to a less than stellar start when Ramona could not even say Bridie’s name correctly.  It was super awkward. Sonja then told Bridie to “just exploit us.” Yes, really.  “I do children, you do sexual abuse,” Ramona sneered as she failed to realize how horrible her words sounded.  “We might not be the most eloquent, but we’re passionate,” Singer later added.  At the event, the ladies started bickering over a dinner party being thrown for Ramona’s upcoming birthday.  Ramona said she had no control over the guest list, and that the women planning it would deal with it.  We got a flashback from Ramona telling these other friends not to invite Sonja.  Ramona, Dorinda, and Sonja followed that argument up with a speech. Bridia dragged Ramona for not pronouncing her name correctly, and Sonja kept laughing.  “Everyone knows you can cry on a dime,” Sonja laughed. “Sonja, why are you doing this to me?” asked Ramona. “Her name is Bridie by the way, you called her Birdie,” Sonja fired back. “I’m bad with names,” Ramona said. “When people are sexually abused as a child, you say is it my fault, did I do something wrong, you’re afraid to come forward,” she continued. Dorinda then joined in, shouting at Ramona because she felt she missed something out. “It was a friend of the family! You can finish, but I’m adding something, it was a friend of the family!” “Let’s hear it from the who … horse’s mouth,” Sonja then added, referring to Bridie. “Not the whore’s mouth. I’m sorry.” Birdie appeared to tell her own story, and Dorinda and Ramona couln’t help but chime in.  Dorinda wanted Bridie to say her attacker was still out there, and it made for an awkward scene.  What did you think of the way that played out?

Dave Chappelle Will Get Mark Twain Prize For American Humor In October

Source: Shareif Ziyadat / Getty Dave Chappelle has spent decades as one of comedy’s top minds having conquered film, cable television, and the stage. For his talents, the Washington, D.C. region native will be awarded the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor later this year. NPR reports : The stand-up comic, actor, producer and director joins a prestigious group of comedians to receive the award. Among them are Carol Burnett, Whoopi Goldberg, Bob Newhart and Richard Pryor — who won the very first Twain Prize in 1998. “Dave is one of the truly original voices in comedy — the definition of a creative artist,” Matthew Winer, director of comedy and special programming at the Kennedy Center, said to NPR. “He’s a modern day sociologist, skewering stereotypes, defying boundaries and showing us that laughter can be a way to contextualize issues that we struggle to understand.” “Dave is the embodiment of Mark Twain’s observation that ‘against the assault of humor, nothing can stand,’ ” Deborah F. Rutter, president of the Kennedy Center, said in a prepared statement. “For three decades, Dave has challenged us to see hot-button issues from his entirely original yet relatable perspective.” Chappelle will return to Washington on Oct. 27 of this year in a ceremony at the Kennedy Center of the Performing Arts. The actual broadcast of the event will air in Jan. 2020. — Photo: Getty

Khloe Kardashian: Snubbed By Met Gala Hosts AGAIN!

The 2019 Met Gala was held in New York City last night, and once again, Hollywood’s best and brightest turned out to remind us all that they have a truly obscene amount of time on their hands, yet still struggle with understanding a simple theme. As usual, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were in attendance. No surprise there, as Kim is one of the most famous women on the planet, and Kanye’s love of fashion well-known. (No word on why an avowed fashion lover would show up looking like he stole a set of coveralls from his mechanic in hope of trying out for the next Halloween movie, but that’s a conversation for another time.) Anyway, Kylie and Kendall Jenner were also at the event, as was the momager who made it all happen, Kris Jenner. But interestingly, both Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian were nowhere to be found. We’d say they were conspicuously absent, but it turns out they’ve never attended the Met Gala! Even more shocking is Radar Online’s claim that Kourtney was invited this year, but she stayed home out of sympathy for her uninvited younger sis. Yes — believe it or not, Khloe is the only Kardashian sister who has never received an invitation to the Met Gala! “Kim lives for the event and she would never want her Kardashian sisters there because that would take the attention away from her,” an insider tells Radar. “Everyone in the family knows that it is Kim’s night. She literally talks about it all year long.” Despite the fact that Kim has apparently protected her turf with the ruthlessness of an Old West outlaw, Kourtney managed to land an invite — but she stayed home out of sisterly solidarity. “Khloe and Kourtney have never been invited to the Met Gala, but Kourtney was invited to this one and chose to stay home with Khloe because she didn’t want to leave her alone,” says the insider. Of course, that may have been a savvy move on Kourt’s part. Radar also reports that Beyonce sat this one out after deciding the event is effectively “over.” “Beyonce feels like she is so much above everyone there,” one source claimed. Sounds like the cool kids’ table has officially dubbed the Met Gala hella lame! View Slideshow: 2019 MET Gala: All the Wild and Crazy Fashion!

Grey’s Anatomy Recap: Did Meredith Get Fired?!

Thursday’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy featured Meredith Grey risking it all, and it could cost her not only her job but also her freedom.  But what pushed the hero to make a risky decision? A patient without insurance, of course! The patient, Gabby, and her father arrived at the hospital and turned to Meredith and Alex.  They came to the United States with the aim of getting her care, but things were not working out.  All of their resources were depleted, and insurance wasn’t working out for them.  Mer and Alex found a mass in the girl’s colon, meaning that it was time to operate.  The father struggled to get coverage from the state, prompting Meredith to say that she would find a way to sort things out.  What did Meredith do to get the surgery completed? She put Ellis’ name on the paperwork, meaning her insurance could be used because it covered family members.  Richard found out about it, and he was pissed.  “The system failed him. The system is broken,” she yelled at him. “We know it is. So what does that say about us if we don’t fix it?” Richard struggled to contain his fury, primarily because he didn’t want anyone to learn about it.  He had a risky plan to save Meredith’s career. If they could make the patient appear to be sicker, keep her in hospital for 30 days, then a new state program would activate.  That would mean the patient would be covered, wouldn’t be deported and would be entitled to help.  Meredith was upset, but knew what she did was the right thing to do. She turned to DeLuca, expecting him to be furious at her.  But he took her by surprise, dropping the L-bomb on her because it reiterated that he knew she was a good person.  “I’m in awe of what you did today,” he said. “I was afraid if I opened my mouth, the only thing that was going to come out was if I loved you.” “Well, okay,” Meredith replied. “Glad we cleared that up.” Elsewhere, Jo started to return to her old ways, and that was good news for her friends and loved one.  She helped Alex get good news for one of his patients in the form of getting a donor … or so she thought.  In a wild moment, she realized that she had found someone who needed a donor, not someone willing to give up an organ.  Jo desperately turned to Teddy for assistance, but there was nothing that could be done. Teddy went on to tell the patient’s mother the truth.  Jo self-destructed in front of the patient, and Alex walked in. He had no idea how he could help his wife with this one.  What did you think of all the action? Hit the comments below.  Grey’s Anatomy continues Thursdays on ABC.  View Slideshow: Grey’s Anatomy Spoilers: It’s About to Go DOWN in Season 15

Kailyn Lowry: Horrified by David Eason Dog Murder, Pushing for Jenelle to Be Fired

Kailyn Lowry and Leah Messer may or may not be dating. Yes, there are actual rumors than these Teen Mom co-stars are a romantic pairing at the moment. But while that chatter seems a little far-fetched, the following we know to be true: Kailyn Lowry and Leah Messer are absolutely aghast and appalled over what is going on with David Eason and Jenelle Evans. Granted, there’s always drama between this married couple — but the events of the past few days take the heinous and disgusting cake, that’s for certain. In case you’ve somehow missed it, Eason shot and killed the family dog, Nugget, this past Saturday….after first beating the canine bloody with his bare hands . The polarizing former MTV personality confessed himself to this dastardly deed, saying on Instagram that Nugget snapped at his young daughter and he would do anything to protect his family and he has no regrets. The story is as shocking as we’re making it sound and you can familiarize yourself with a few details below: View Slideshow: David Eason: Damn Right I Killed My Dog! And I’d Do It Again! According to Hollywood Life, Lowry and Messer barely even know how to react to this development. Considering the literal blood on Eason’s hands, however, as well as Jenelle’s refusal to leave her husband (she claims she’s pondering a divorce , but does anyone believe her), Kailyn and Leah would love for MTV to stop associating with this dangerous couple. For good. “The other stars of Teen Mom, especially Kailyn and Leah, are horrified by what happened to Nugget,” an insider claims, adding to the aforementioned website: “They’re all embarrassed and saddened that this tragedy is even being associated with their beloved franchise. “The cast collectively wishes Jenelle left the show when David did last year, she is not popular with anyone on the show.” Eason was fired by producers over a year ago due to the many homophobic remarks he made on social media. This has been a point of contention in his relationship with Evans because cameras won’t film her any time Eason is around, making it difficult for her to get as much air time as before. Viewers are reportedly clamoring for Evans to also be fired at this point — and Messer and Lowry appear glad to show her the door. “As long as [Jenelle] is still around, [the] cast fears David could resurface,” Hollywood Life writes, expounding as follows: “They’ve been fearful for a while now that he will show up as they feel like he’s a loose canon and they don’t know what to expect from him. “After this latest ugly event, they’ve all made it very clear that they don’t want anything to do with David ever, period.” Eason and Lowry have gone back and forth for months, of course. Most recently, David trashed Kailyn as fat and she clapped back in epic fashion . So there’s a history here, absolutely. But one doesn’t need to have a troubling past with Eason to think he’s a violent maniac who should not be anywhere near a television screen, even just by association. “I dont give a damn what animal bites my baby on the face… whether it be your dog or mine, a dog is a dog and I dont put up with that sh-t at all,” he wrote in a post defending his actions this week. “i’m all about protecting my family, it is my lifes mission. Some people are worth killing or dying for and my family means that much to me.” This would come across as less psychotic if Eason had been reacting to an emergent situation because Nugget was in the process of attacking little Ensley. However, Eason’s own video makes it clear no such thing happened — and there’s no reason why he couldn’t have simply decided to give the dog away to a shelter if he felt it was a danger to his child. David Eason: Watch My Dog Attack My Kid and Sign Its Own Death Warrant! You can hate me all you want but this isnt the first time the dog bit Ensley aggressively,” Eason added. “The only person that can judge weather or not a animal is a danger to MY CHILD is ME. Eason is currently under criminal investigation for animal cruelty after officers visited his home on Thursday, yet didn’t feel safe walking on to a property with “No Trespassing signs” and a pit bull out front. They have asked the Sheriff’s Department to figure out the next move. Elsewhere, TMZ reports that Eason is also behind on child support payments to ex-girlfriend Olivia Leedham and that he could end up in jail as a result of this financial failure. What a downright shame that would be, right? View Slideshow: Jenelle Evans: Do Teen Mom Fans Finally Hate Her More than Farrah Abraham?!

Thank U Internet: There’s Now Beyoncé & Taylor Swift Side-By-Sides To Reflect Life’s Biggest Disappointments

View post:

Source: Ethan Miller / Getty On Wednesday, celebrities and music stars gathered for the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas. Highlights from the event included Cardi B winning Top Rap Song, Drake winning a whopping 12 awards setting a career record with 27 Billboard wins, and of course, Mariah Carey rightly took home the Billboard Icon Award. But one might have forgotten all this, considering Taylor Swift ‘s show-stealing performance of her new song “Me!”   If you missed it, let me refresh. Homegirl opened with a drum major’s whistle, which eventually led a drum line to the stage just in time to intro Taylor posing with hand on hip in a pink-ish leotard-looking getup. Sound familiar? Twitter can help you out… “Homecoming” vs “Go Home” #Mayochella pic.twitter.com/KTngxV3Nqz — targeted harassment bot (@RickyRawls) May 2, 2019   *Sigh* Once again, Tay Tay took her usual place in between just plain clueless, why why why, and this White girl HAS to know what she’s doing. The Internet instantly compared her performance to Beyoncé’s iconic Coachella 2018 show, which has lovingly been dubbed Beychella. Her show was viewed as a White-washed, offbeat version of the Queen Bey’s greatness, and thus… #Mayochella was born. Now, I think Taylor Swift really believes she is the “equivalent” to Beyoncé. This #Mayochella drum line off beat and all. — ACW (@TheCarterReport) May 2, 2019   Peep Taylor’s full-length performance for yourself below, then head over to Netflix for Beyoncé’s full-length movie performance in the doc Homecoming.    Aside from the hilarious draggings of Taylor’s performance online, some people tried to actually defend her, arguing that Beyoncé wasn’t the first to feature a marching band in her performance. Certain publications listed Prince, Gwen Stefani and Madonna as just a few examples of bands getting into formation. However, for Taylor to carry out her marching band performance so soon after the cultural event which was Homecoming… I mean come on. Tay even posed like Beyoncé in her intro. The side-by-side comparisons of the looks don’t help her case either. If anything, they gifted the Internet with a new meme to reflect our everyday feels. One @ darleneturner53 captioned a side-by-side “What I ordered vs what I got.”  What I ordered vs what I got #Mayochella pic.twitter.com/9bTQTH9pdE — DKT (@darleneturner53) May 2, 2019   Another @ sofreenyla labeled it “Grandma’s Thanksgiving dinner / pot luck at work.”  Grandma's Thanksgiving dinner pot luck at work #Mayochella pic.twitter.com/sjwgm63x04 — Tormund Stan Account (@sofreenyla) May 2, 2019   People showed no mercy. Even Netflix slyly took part in the dragging with their Strong Black Lead brand, tweeting out a clip to the opening of Beyoncé’s Coachella performance. They captioned it, “This intro needs to be written about in our future history books. I need everyone to see and know it. # BeyoncéHomecoming” This intro needs to be written about in our future history books. I need everyone to see and know it. #BeyoncéHomecoming pic.twitter.com/QQxEKBB24t — Strong Black Lead (@strongblacklead) May 2, 2019   And you’re telling me Tay Tay didn’t watch one second of Beyoncé’s performance before planning her set. Smh.   Hit the flip for more hilarious side-by-side comparisons of Mayochella madness and Bey greatness. Hopefully, Tay will take this as a learning moment. But knowing her, don’t get your hopes up.

Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas: Surprise! We’re Married!

Sophie Turner stars on a show well known for its twists, turns and shocking deaths. But the actress just delivered one of the biggest surprises of the year — and it had to do with celebrating the state and direction of her life: She and Joe Jonas are suddenly married! WHOA, right?!? The handsome singer and the popular Game of Thrones actress went right ahead and exchange vows in Las Vegas on Wednesday night, not long after attending the Billboard Music Awards. Joe actually reunited on stage with his brothers at thie ceremony, prior to agreeing in frong of an Elvis impersonator that he would unite forever and ever with Turner. As her husband! The ceremony, which was documented on Diplo’s Instagram live feed, took place at Chapel L’Amour inside A Little White Wedding Chapel. According to online records obtained by People Magazine, the celebrity couple applied for a marriage license earlier in the day in Clark County, Nevada. So this wasn’t some late-minute, drunken decision, as is very often the case for folks that get married in Sin City. Jonas and Turner had made a sober plan to get married in this venue long before they actually did so. In addition to Diplo, whose social media photos from the event we’ve shared below, several stars who had attended the Billboard Music Awards earlier in the evening were also at the ceremony, including Khalid. At the outset of the marriage ceremony, Turner – who portrays Sansa Stark on Game of Thrones – walked down the aisle, wearing a low-cut white silk top with matching pants and a finger-tip length veil. She made her beautiful entrance while Dan + Shay performed their hit “Speechless” acoustically. In place of the traditional wedding rings, meanwhile, Turner and Jonas exchanged Ring Pops, which is simply amazing and which we think all husbands and wives ought to do going forward. Nick and Kevin Jonas were also on hand for the nuptials. “Fine folks, family… in the power vested in me, it is my pleasure to pronounce you two husband and wife. You may kiss that bride!” the Elvis impersonator said after Turner and Jonas said some romantic and legal stuff to each other. The unusual (albeit awesome!) ceremony concluded with the celebrant singing “Viva Las Vegas,” while the newlyweds danced and the friends and family in attendance cheered. This has been a long and seemingly very steady romantic journey for Turner and Jonas. They started dating in the fall of 2016 and announced their engagement in October of 2017 with matching photos on Instagram that showed off the British star’s stunning pear-shaped diamond engagement ring. “I said yes,” she wrote on her post, while the DNCE frontman captioned his snapshot in similar fashion: “She said yes.” Joe’s father, Kevin Jonas Sr., commented on Turner’s message at the time by writing: “We are so happy to welcome you to our family.” The stars had previously said they were getting married in France this summer, so a more official ceremony may still be on tap. “We got most of it figured out already,” Joe recently said of that international affair on The Zach Sang Show, adding: “There’s parts of it that I think just naturally are stressful, but you just have to allow yourself to enjoy the fact that you’re doing this. It’s not really about all the little minor details, it’s going to be great and things are gonna go wrong, but I enjoy planning stuff.” We just hope it also includes Ring Pops!
