Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 12 Episode 13 Recap: Havana Good Time

On  Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 12 Episode 13 , the famous family tried to end its Cuba trip on good terms with one another. Emphasis on tried. Watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 12 Episode 13 Online If you  watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online , then you know Khloe has been struggling with Lamar Odom’s situation. Hardcore. Why? Isn’t it obvious? “His drinking alone makes me so furious,” she told Malika Haqq during the trip, refering his near-death overdose. “It hasn’t even been a year.” Fortunately, later in Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 12 Episode 13, Khloe seemed to put that out of her mind and enjoy Cuba.  “It makes me so happy,” Kim told the E! cameras. “I just hope Khloé makes the best of the trip and continues on and has a good time.” Back in LA, it was FOMO time for LD. Translated: With the famous family in Cuba, Scott Disick was in Los Angeles and suffering from a severe case of Fear of Missing Out. So what is His Lordship to do? Round up the remaining Jenner family members to take part in their own makeshift Cuban festivities. Yup, it was that kind of contrived storyline. Keeping Up with the Kardashians Clip: Who Likes… Penis? “I feel like we’re missing out on something huge,” Disick said, picking up Cuban food for quasi-mother-in-law Kris Jenner and Kylie Jenner. He then rented a bright blue, vintage, 50’s style car and drove them around Los Angeles with French Montana and Cuban hats and cigars. As filler goes, at least it made for good visuals. Back in Cuba, ‘Ye actually got pissed at Kylie Jenner’s Puma deal , given that she worked with him on his treasured Adidas line previously. “I don’t agree with going against the family,” Khloe said, siding with Yeezy. “Mom and or Kylie should have presented it to Kanye first.” “Kanye had Kylie walk in his first two shows, he really believed in her as part of his brand,” Kim concurred. “I get my mom’s job is to get us deals.” That being said, the media mogul said, “everything has to be really carefully played out and I feel like this was a huge conflict of interest.” View Slideshow: 13 Times Kim Kardashian Suffered from Serious #FirstWorldProblems Kris didn’t see it that way when confronted by Kim. “I run a business,” the Momager responded. “The biggest part of my business it to pay attention to everyone involved … and the best first for each one of my clients.” “Sometimes it’s about a business decision.” Damn. Cutthroat but honest. Kim’s take? “Sometimes when you’re dealing with family, it’s not really about a business decision. She was the model that he wanted.” “I just would have liked the heads up.” “I am just trying to do the best job for everyone that I can,” Kris told her, acknowledging Kim’s point that ‘Ye may have felt blindsided. “Sometimes I get ahead of myself.” View Slideshow: 15 Reasons Why Kris Jenner Should Join The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

Michelle Obama DNC Speech: An Instant Classic

Yes, Sarah Silverman may have delivered the single line that stood out the most on Monday night at the Democratic National Convention. But Michelle Obama delivered the speech that will stand the test of time. Framing the argument for this election not around party lines, but around “who will have the power to shape our children for the next four or eight years of their lives,” Obama endorsed Hillary Clinton in the most passionate way possible. Speaking candidly about Sasha and Malia, Obama brought up the topic of bullying, a clear reference to Republican nominee Donald Trump. “We don't stoop to their level. Our motto is: 'When they go low, we go high,'” she said. Words matter, she said. Actions matter. When she and her husband moved into the White House years ago and and their 10-year old and their 7-year old went off to school with armed Secret Service agents, Obama recalled: “I saw their little faces pressed up against the window and all I could think was, 'What have we done?'”  Ever since then, she had focused primarily on making this experience into an important one for her kids. “We urge them to ignore those who question their father's citizenship or faith,” she said. “We insist that the hateful language they hear from public figures on TV does not represent the true spirit of this country.” Obama used this angle as a way to segue into why Clinton needs to be elected President. “What I admire most about Hillary is she never buckled under pressure,” the First Lady said. “Hillary Clinton has never quit on anything in her life. “When I think of the kind of president I want for my girls and all our children, that's what I want – the proven strength to persevere.” Later on, Obama talked emotionally about how the White House was built by slaves. About how her two African-American daughters now play on its lawn with their dog. And about how the Republicans spent their Convention trying to tell viewers about all the awful things now going on in the country. “Don't let anyone ever tell you that this country isn't great,” she said in a pointed reference to Trump's campaign slogan. “This, right now, is the greatest country on earth.” The speech was lauded as one of the all-time best on social media. And a certain Commander-in-Chief clearly liked it: It made you understand why someone might want to plagiarize Michelle Obama . Prepare for some waterworks, and don't be ashamed if you stand and cheer at one point, as you watch the full Michelle Obama speech from the DNC below:

The Bachelorette Recap: Dear Mr. Fantasy Suite …

Who was sent home … at the beginning, and the end of last night’s show? Were The Bachelorette spoilers on point, or was there a major twist? Watch The Bachelorette Season 12 Episode 9 Online These were the questions on  The Bachelorette Season 12 Episode 9 , which picked up in the wake of last week’s rose ceremony cliffhanger. A cliffhanger that was indeed a heartbreaker for one suitor. Despite Luke Pell’s last ditch effort to proclaim his love for JoJo Fletcher and keep his run on the ABC show alive, he was sent home. “I started to struggle not knowing where you stood,” JoJo told Luke, who would bawl in the limo. “I just can’t believe I squandered it away.” “I had no idea that I wasn’t saying enough.” “I feel like a person that’s been hit by a train,” he added. “I thought we had a future together. I woulda been ready to propose to her today.” Laying it on a little thick, don’t you think, Luke? Don’t get us wrong, we thought Chase McNary would be shown the door before Pell. Would Chase stand a prayer against the top two? We say the top two because Jordan Rodgers and Robby Hayes were the clear favorites to earn Fantasy Suite cards and a trip to the finale. That’s exactly what happened in beautiful Thailand. Just about the only thing that could keep Jordan and JoJo off of each other was the fact that kissing wasn’t allowed in an ancient temple. They didn’t stay there for long, we’re guessing. Still, despite their chemistry and connection, JoJo can’t help but wonder if there’s something about Aaron Rodgers’ brother she’s missing. “I want to trust him, but if I trust him it scares me a lot to feel like I could possibly have my heart broken,” Fletcher said of her #1 suitor. “I’m hoping at some point all those fears go away.” Don’t hold your breath, from what we’re hearing. Aaron Rodgers vs. Jordan Rodgers: Timeline of a Football Family Feud! He says all the appropriate things, though, which is part of the issue with this guy. So smooth. Probably said this to Brittany Farrar too: “In the past month, ever since I told you I love you, when I think about that wedding day, when I think about getting on a knee, it’s with you.” Robby Hayes would not be happy to see this. He was confident that he and JoJo would end up together, even though he and  Hope Higginbotham broke up about 45 seconds before this season. We kid … and yet not. Rumors of Robby Hayes cheating would be a huge story this season if Jordan Rodgers’ past weren’t even shadier. Yet Hayes, like Rodgers, says all the right stuff: “I want you to know that I’m not like the guys in your past. I’m not gonna say those three important words and then cop out early and walk away.” JoJo’s take? “There’s a way that he looks at me that makes me just know that what he’s saying is true, and I trust him, and I believe him.” Bottom line? Chase had no shot at moving on. View Slideshow: The Bachelor & Bachelorette: 27 Most Stunning Exits Even though he told JoJo he was “100% in love” with her, she knew what she had to do and tried to let him down as easily as she could. It didn’t go well. “Now, I’m shattered,” he said. “So now love equals gets the f–k out? That was so f–k terrifying for me to say, and now look at where I end up.” Fortunately, after being sent home, he surprised Fletcher at the rose ceremony – not to beg for another shot, but to smooth things over. Actually a nice gesture from a good guy. One who just didn’t have the same connection with her as Jordan Rodgers and Robby Hayes. So among those final two men, who do you think will prevail and claim the final rose, and will JoJo regret it within a week or even less? Hit the comments below, and follow the links above to  watch The Bachelorette online  to see the drama unfold from beginning to end. View Slideshow: The Bachelor Couples: Are They Still Together?

Willie Robertson, Scott Baio Support Donald Trump at Republican National Convention

Willie Robertson, Scott Baio and Antonio Sabato Jr. were among the so-called celebrities who opened the Republican National Convention in Cleveland on Monday night. Each expressed his reason on stage for supporting Donald Trump. “Are you cheering because we’re ugly?” the Duck Dynasty star said to kick off primetime coverage of the event from Cleveland. Robertson went on to note similarities between himself and Trump, namely that both are successful businessmen who have anchor hit reality programs, “though I flew commercial here,” Willie joked. That’s not a bad line actually. Robertson then took aim at “media experts” who were dead wrong about Trump’s candidacy, assuming he would lose early on in the GOP primary and adding that “it must be humbling to be so wrong about so much for so long.” We’re not sure how slamming reporters from both sides of the aisle gets Trump votes, but hey. Robertson proceeded to play the divisive card, talking about southern roots and saying “they don’t know how to talk to folks like us,” people who “hunt, fish, pray and actually work for a living.” He concluded that Trump “may not be politically correct,” but he “always tells you the truth as he sees it” – and that’s why the Duck Commander CEO believes “Donald Trump will have your back.” Scott Baio also shared his thoughts live from Ohio, getting quickly to his main point in a speech that was short and not sweet. Not when it came to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton at least. She’s a a woman who feels she’s “entitled to the presidency,” Baio argued, while describing Trump is “a man doing this out of the goodness of his heart,” who “says what he means. and means what he says.” Once again, it’s not really clear why either of those statements are a reason to vote someone in to the Oval Office, but hey. Baio’s final message to attendees and viewers? “Let’s make America America again!” We don’t know what that means. Then there was Antonio Sabato Jr., who did not address the crowd in only his underwear, much to the chagrin of the women and gay men in attendance. (JUST KIDDING! There are no women or gay men in support of Donald Trump.) “My belief in this country and my faith in Jesus Christ have compelled me to speak now,” said the model and former Dancing with the Stars contestant. “Our rights have been trampled and our security threatened,” added Sabato, who detailed his decision to move to the United States from Rome in 1985 and who become a naturalized citizen in 1996. “Others who want to come to the U.S. to live and work should follow the same rules!” Sabato’s speech, which claimed that America is “weaker by almost every measure,” was short on specifics, yet heavy on passion. “Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton promote division,” he said with a straight face, adding: “Don’t be fooled: Donald Trump is for unity. Donald Trump believes in one America with liberty and justice for all.” View Slideshow: 16 Celebrities Who Actually Support Donald Trump

The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 11 Episode 4 Recap: Divine Intervention

Vicki was on the warpath again last night on  The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 11 Episode 4 , with Shannon in her crosshairs. Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 11 Episode 4 Online If you  watch The Real Housewives of Orange County online , you know that’s been theme of the season so far on the Bravo flagship: Can Vicki regain her place in the ladies’ good graces? Does she want that? Do they? What’s her endgame? Well, the Real Housewives of Orange County Season 11 Episode 4 picked up at the beach party where the previous installment left off. Vicki Gunvalson’s excuses for the Brooks Ayers cancer drama were front and center, with her goal of talking to each of the wives individually. Target number one? Shannon Beador. “You guys were right, and I was wrong,” Vicki said, though the skeptical  Shannon said Ayers was lying about his cancer from the start. How could Vicki not know? Not unlike her conversations with Heather Dubrow and Tamra Barney, Vicki failed to gain much closure, and ended up in tears. So it goes. Shannon says she doesn’t think the two could be friends again; Meghan King Edmonds, conversely, has plenty of friends to go around. Heather Dubrow and Kelly Dodd, who both had kids via IVF, helped Meghan with the shots she has to take in order to begin the process. When Vicki asked Brooks critic Meghan King Edmonds if they could be friends again, however, she replied that they were never friends. Kelly felt bad for her after awhile, saying: “I’ve been ganged up [on] by girls many times in my life, and when I see someone doing that to somebody else, I want to protect that person!” The real crazy part of this episode, however, involved Tamra Barney’s adult son Ryan Vieth , who was once engaged to Sarah Rodriguez. Tamra was on his case to make things right with her, as she’s the mother of his child, and for Ryan, this has been an ongoing dilemma. Meanwhile, Vicki pulled over at a gas station to call 911 when she realized she couldn’t drive daughter Briana to the hospital fast enough. Who did she run into there? Sarah Rodriguez! Sarah, naturally, offered to go to Vicki’s place to watch Briana’s kids at the same time Vicki was texting Tamra about what was going on. Tamra insisted that it was divine intervention that landed Sarah in Vicki’s path that day she was helping Briana with her difficulty breathing. (It was later revealed that Briana’s lymph nodes were swollen so much they were pushing on her lungs, causing her problems breathing.) When Tamra asked Sarah if she would get back together with Ryan, the latter responded that he was the one making that so challenging. The two subplots here are that Tamra and Vicki are on good terms again – or at least called a true over this whole incident – and this: Why is Briana even in California? Did Vicki force her to move away from her husband, Ryan, who was still stationed by the Army in Oklahoma? Tamra and Shannon gossiped that perhaps promising her a free house and around the clock help with her medical care did the trick. Shannon then said she planned on inviting Vicki to her upcoming party via email, while still making it clear he did not want a friendship. Tamra chastised her friend for that “passive-aggressive” and “back-handed” idea and suggested she forgive and forget with Gunvalson. Whoa there. That’s too level-headed for Bravo.

Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 12 Episode 10 Recap: Scott Gets Iced Out!

Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 12 Episode 10 saw Lamar Odom (yes, of all people) play peacemaker between Khloe and Rob. Meanwhile, Scott Disick kontemplated a surprise for Kourt, who tagged along with Kim and ‘Ye on a music video-inspired trip to Iceland. Khloe Kardashian Reacts to Kylie Jenner & Blac Chyna’s BFF Selfie Picking up where last week left off,  Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 12 Episode 10  found Rob and Khloe at odds, as usual. If you  watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online , or read any celebrity gossip, then we don’t have to tell you what this is all about. Two words. Blac Chyna. Following Rob’s shady engagement announcement, Khloe said, “she must be somewhat of a good person for Rob to like her.”  “I’ve never really known her, like, I’ve never had a relationship with her, so I don’t know the type of person she is,” she added. So mostly her beef is with Rob, and how he’s treating his sisters. With Lamar acting as a go-between, can the sibling reconcile? “Whenever I talk to her, it just leads to crazy her and I yelling at each other no matter what,” Rob told the former NBA player. “I need to hit her up.” Rob and Khloe ended up having a conversation in which they walked on eggshells, but no one was kicked out of the house at least. Baby steps, right? Perhaps more notably, Khloe called out Lamar’s partying, saying, “He’s already out drinking, that’s what he was doing all last night.” Healthy as always, Lam. Lamar Odom Admits “Marriage Ain’t Easy,” Khloe Kardashian Is Amused Meanwhile, gorgeous Kourtney celebrated her 37th birthday in Iceland, which left one Lord Disick out in the cold back in sunny California. Having celebrated her birthday every year for the past decade, Scott toyed with the idea of flying to Iceland to surprise her this time. “Let’s say if in a year from now or 10 years from now, we work things out,” he told Kris Jenner. “I would hate to have missed a birthday.” Let’s say it won’t. Call it a hunch. In Iceland, word got through to Kourtney and Kim about Disick’s dream, and the former opened up about her relationship with Scott. “He gets so carried away and ahead of himself,” she told her sister. “I just feel like I don’t want to just spend time with him one-on-one.” “What is that gonna benefit anybody?” “That’s just not what I want right now, and it’s not what’s good,” Kourt added, and as a result, Kim ended up telling Scott not to come. For a guy who chose alcohol over the mother of his kids, and brags about banging all the Kardashians , he was surprisingly devastated. Scott Disick to Kris Jenner: I’m Gonna Surprise Kourtney! Disick lamented to Kim, despondently: “I guess just let her know I love her.” Later, he reflected on things again. “It’s difficult being not together with someone you’ve been with for so long,” he said. “I guess this is one more thing you gotta get used to.” Could’ve put a ring on it, or at least actually been around when she needed you instead of wasting your life partying man. Just saying. Meanwhile, Kim doesn’t want another kid. ‘Ye, however, has been pushing for it. This prompted a frank discussion between Kim and Scott about post-baby vaginas and whether those kingdoms will ever be the same. That was … interesting. And TMI. “Kanye has said it every single day for, like, the last week,” the mother of North and Saint says. “[I’m] like, ‘I don’t think I can carry another one.” Why? Because “I just feel like I’ll never be the same down there,” she admits, even though “Kanye says it, like, feels the same.” The more you know.

Keeping Up with the Kardashians Recap: The Baby Bomb is Dropped!

KABOOM! No, we’re not making the sound of July Fourth fireworks here. We’re making the sound of the bombshell that was dropped on Sunday night’s new installment of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. The BABY bombshell, that is. Oh, yes, Blac Chyna is pregnant with Rob Kardashian’s baby.

The kicked off with Rob texting his older sisters, asking about having a chat discuss his recent engagement to Blac Chyna while they were away skiing. They weren’t thrilled to learn about what news either, of course. “Are you being serious?” Kim asks upon first learning Chyna is expecting. “No I’m being Bible, I’m being dead a–,” Rob responded. “But you have to understand I’ve been trying to do this, I’m not even kidding, this was like really my decision, like it really wasn’t hers on dad’s grave on everything, on Bible.” On bible, people. For reals. “I want mom and you guys involved,” Rob continued. “I don’t expect you guys to be all happy, but I’m sure you guys will eventually. I want you all a part of it. There needs to be a talk between you guys … she’s going to be in your lives forever.” Kim and Kourtney seemed accepting of this reality. But Khloe, though? The sister especially close to Rob? “I don’t know my emotions right now. I am empty … I am internally sad,” she said to the camera at one point. Later on, Khloe and Kourtney talked via phone to their mother, who was in Dubai. They told her that all was fine at home. “There’s nothing we can do … what’s done is done.

I’m meant to be famous,” Kim replied, one of the more obvious statements in show history. “I can’t handle it,” Kylie continued. “I care too much and I read too many things.” In the concluding scenes of the week, Khloé founds out that not only did Kris have a sit-down to chat with Blac Chyna and Rob… but so did Kylie! “Her and I were talking about Tyga a lot … I think we all need to be one big happy family” Kylie told Khloe about posing alongside her former bitter enemy . “Then I was like ‘we have to take a Snapchat.'” Kylie later confessed in her interview: “I feel a weight has lifted off both of our shoulders and I feel like that’s all we needed.”  Keeping Up with the Kardashians airs Sundays at 9/8c on E!

The Real Housewives of New York City Season 8 Episode 12 Recap: Always a B!tch …

Wednesday on  The Real Housewives of New York City Season 8 Episode 12 , Sonja and Ramona made up after a recent falling out. Ramona’s efforts to help Sonja get back into Bethenny’s good graces proved more challenging, however. Because, well, it’s Bethenny. Watch The Real Housewives of New York City Season 8 Episode 12 Online If you  watch The Real Housewives of New York City online , you know that this has been an epic season thus far, for a couple of reasons: Bethenny is losing her s–t Bethenny is REALLY losing her s–t Seriously. Bethenny Frankel has never been one to mince words. We know this, and are under no delusion that she isn’t a tough cookie. Still, the extreme highs and lows have been something else. Every single week, the cast walks on eggshells, and The Real Housewives of New York City Season 8 Episode 12 was no exception. You always feel like you’re one misstep away from a blowup, which invariably happens, and after which, Frankel becomes embarrassed. Is the stress of her divorce getting to her? Is she back on Bravo for the money, and just can’t handle forced conversations with LuAnn? Is it because she’s dating a married man, Dennis Shields ? Or because she’s being skinny-shamed on Instagram ? It’s not clear, but what we can can tell you after last night is that the emotional side effects of her recent health crisis have taken a toll. During shopping trip with Dorinda, Frankel literally doubled over in pain, then rushed herself to the doctor due to her swollen fibroids. Bethenny scheduled an “extremely painful” surgery to have them removed in late May, which she sought to keep off of the reality show. To no avail. What Andy Cohen wants, he gets. “I slept in bed for like a week,” Frankel says. “I just focused on getting healthy.” Fortunately, nowadays she’s “really good,” she says. “I look forward to walking on the beach. I’m in a happy place right now.”  “It was a really enlightening experience.” Just don’t expect her to suddenly be BFF with LuAnn. Some dynamics, not even an enlightening experience are going to transform. View Slideshow: 16 Reasons Why You Need a Best Friend Like Sonja Morgan
