Khloe Kardashian: Tristan Thompson Sucks But At Least He Gave Me a Baby!

Poor Khloe Kardashian. She knows that she can never trust Tristan again , but she hasn’t found the strength to leave him yet, either. But even though her life is stuck in limbo, she still has good company: baby True. Khloe has shared a brand new photo of True and is gushing over her precious baby just days before True turns 6 months old. In the captions of her new photo, wich you’re about to see, Khloe pens a precious message to her daughter. “I probably dreamt about you my entire adult life,” Khloe confesses. Khloe then boasts: “You have exceeded every expectation I had of you!” “This is LOVE,” Khloe writes in all caps. The proud mother concludes her caption with a red hearts emoji. The actual photo shows baby True wearing a periwinkle dress. She looks too cute for words in the dress and the bow, surrounded by soft pastel pinks and a bunch of books. True will turn 6 months old on October 12. True was born on April 12. Speaking of 6-month anniversaries, Khloe hit another milestone on Wednesday, October 10. Wednesday marked six months since the story of Tristan Thompson’s cheating scandal broke. Somehow, True’s parents are still together. As a source explains to People , Khloe seems to have a foot in both worlds, which is why she has delayed moving back to Cleveland with Tristan. “It’s of course difficult to trust someone 100 percent who cheated days before he was about to become a dad,” the insider acknowledges. “Khloe still struggles with this sometimes,” the source continues. “She wants to move back to Cleveland, but she isn’t sure what date she is [going],” the insider adds. “The move is postponed for now.” “She seems very upset about leaving her family,” the source explains. “She had the best summer in L.A.” Khloe has made some not-so-vague posts on social media about struggling to cope with an impossible situation. “If you’ve been brutally broken but still have the courage to be gentle to other living beings,” Khloe wrote in one. She concluded: “then you’re a badass with a heart of an angel.” “We don’t always choose what happens to us,” she wrote in another post. “But we can choose to see it as a positive.” She continued, writing that people can choose “to believe it is for the best, and to use it to grow.” “All of that, and you’re still standing,” she wrote in yet another post. “I am proud of you! You’re doing a great job! Keep going.” The inside source explains how Khloe feels mounting, overhwhelming pressure from all sides. “She’s a new mom, a first-time mom, and her TV show is currently replaying one of the most emotional times in her life,” the insider points out. “It’s a lot” “She rarely gives herself a break,” the source continues. “And she’s constantly trying to be the best mom, best sister, best daughter, best at everything.” She puts so much pressure on herself at all times. “And sure, she sometimes has moments like anyone else where she feels like she’s pushed herself too far,” the insider notes. “She’s human.” Kim Kardashian had her third child via surrogate with her increasingly problematic husband whom many hope to see her divorce. Kylie got pregnant at 19 with a guy whom she’d only been seeing for a matter of weeks. And yet somehow, it’s Khloe, who gave birth at 33 (she’s now 34) with a man she’d been seeing for ages, who is having the hardest time coping with her long-anticipated motherhood. We hope that she can sort through her feelings and priorities and make a decision about Tristan. And when it comes to Cleveland, well … Khloe loves being surrounded by her family in L.A. Is she really going to leave all of that just for Tristan? View Slideshow: Tristan Thompson: CAUGHT with Two New Women!

Jesse Meester: Darcey Silva is a Liar and a Sick, Twisted Person!

Of all of the 90 Day Fiance couples, none seems to thrive on constant fighting like Jesse Meester and Darcey Silva. Recently, viewers saw them explode after Jesse told Darcey she’s an alcoholic . But that’s one incident among many. Now, Jesse is exposing Darcey on social media — telling fans that she takes money from everyone, then lies about it. Right now, 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days couple Darcey and Jesse looks like their terrible romance is on its last leg. That’s on TV, and filmed months ago. Right now, it looks like their quarreling is once again spilling over into social media. After one of Jesse’s sycophantic fans (sorry, but it’s the truth) spoke about how she couldn’t stand the way that Darcey treats him, Jesse wrote back. He thanked his fan — and then put Darcey on blast, painting her as a liar with some sort of pathological money problem. “That she’s exploiting her ex-husband, now me and others is the least thing she should do to make herself look better,” Jesse says in slightly broken English. “She’s adding fuel on her issues,” Jesse writes. “Especially after her restaurant situation last week.” That would be the restaurant fight so intense that police were called. Classy. “It’s not my problem anymore,” Jesse writes, though he’s said that before. “Although I kinda felt sad she was still dealing with the same issues.” “But after people sent me screenshots of her behavior with the most disgraceful lies and classless statements,” he says. Those screenshots were “about that we had sex in a hotel room I paid for, that I gave to her when she started drama.” “And then say how she was not treated right and she payed for a trip? Lol,” Jesse writes. “My last bit of empathy is gone.” “To claim you paid for a trip to Greece I paid for you is despicable,” he says. “That was a surprise I arranged for her.” “Oh and the (business class) tickets and your free acces to my company’s guidance and so many more things I helped you with,” Jesse adds. “And then acting like this is a total disgrace!” Jesse declares. “Just when you thought she couldn’t go any lower….” “Just not over my back after doing everything for you and going above and beyond,” he writes. One detail of Jesse’s comment really caught the attention of a number of 90 Day Fiance fans. “When you sell my rings (which is totally fine) and complaint about not having money or not being able to pay off your debt,” he writes. Jesse continues: “when a lot of people help you out financially there is something else going on you need to take a closer look at.” In other words, he is accusing her of having some sort of underlying problem of spending money, asking for financial help, and then overspending again. Jesse also notes that: “Her false accusations need to stop.” “This is all I gotta say about this really,” Jesse says. Anyone want to take bets on whether or not Jesse will talk about Darcey again in the future? “Pure disgust how someone can go that low after all you did,” Jesse laments. Again, he implies that she has some sort of pathology or compulsion. Jesse concludes: “Like she just can’t stop it.” Jesse Meester isn’t exactly the best guy in the world, either. He and Darcey are toxic as a couple, but both are toxic as individuals. (After all, this is the guy who shares private details, true or not, with random fans who say nice things to him) To be brutally honest, folks, a lot of Jesse’s fans are older women who refuse to see past his hotness. They despise Darcey but seeing him with an older woman makes them think that they could be so much better for him. We’re not speculating — they write this out, more or less, in his Instagram comments. He knows this. View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance Couples: Who’s Still Together?

Vicki Gunvalson: I Still Think Gina Kirschenheiter is Lying …

On the most recent episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County , Vicki Gunvalson was feeling very argumentative and accused Gina of being “selfish.” Vicki is trying to clear the air, now. But she still insists that it’s frustrating to hear Gina speak so casually of her divorce. Taking to her Bravo blog, Vicki Gunvalson writes about her blowup fight with Gina Kirschenheiter. “I did feel like I was too hard on her when we all had dinner at my house,” Vicki admits. “And,” she continues. “I regret saying anything to her that may have hurt her feelings.” “It’s been frustrating for me to see her so casual about divorcing her husband,” Vicki expresses. “It doesn’t make sense to any of us,” Vicki says. “And I’ve come to the conclusion that there is a lot we don’t know.” Vicki then shares her personal conspiracy theory about the Kirschenheiter divorce. “My personal take on this is,” Vicki writes. “They were probably separated when we met her and that is why he decided to move to LA without her.” “I don’t know if that’s true,” Vicki admits. “But that’s what makes sense to me.” “If there is anything I do know, it’s the mistakes I made in my two marriages,” Vicki acknowledges. “And if there is anything I could do to help her or anyone else,” Vicki says. “I feel inclined to speak up.” “I have spent my entire professional life of almost 30 years helping people ‘plan for the unplanned ‘,” Vicki writes. ” And my goal is to always make sure their financial future is secure,” she says, referring to her insurance work. “It’s hard for me not to want to offer my advice to Gina,” she confesses. In other words, if she knew how to keep out of other people’s business, she wouldn’t be a Real Housewife. “This is not my first rodeo,” Vicki says. “I know how this ends and it’s hard.” “I want the best for Gina and her family,” she says. “And in the future I will not dismiss her reasons but will be there to help her if she needs me.” “When Gina asked me a question about regretting my decision to be divorced,” Vicki writes. “Knowing that I am in a better place got me really thinking about it.” Divorce is complicated, and everyone has different thoughts on the difficult process. “I think it comes down to not making the same mistakes I made before,” Vicki suggests. “And being the best partner for Steve I can be.” “I’m in an amazing place,” Vicki says. “And I’m incredibly grateful and thankful that such a solid, gorgeous, loving, ‘no drama’ man came in my life.” That’s certainly an improvement over that total creep Brooks Ayers . “We both live with the decision of divorce,” Vicki writes. “And we talk openly about it.” “The truth is we both agree we should have done things differently in our past marriages to have saved them,” she continues. “Divorce is difficult on the kids,” Vicki acknowledges. “Difficult financially and emotionally.” “And,” she concludes. “I’m much clearer now than I was 10 years ago on what it truly takes to make a marriage work.” After that, Vicki plugs her business and then encourages readers to follow her on Instagram. Gina Kirschenheiter has really resonated with a sizable chunk of fans and viewers of The Real Housewives of Orange County . She is, quite frankly, relatable. Divorce can be difficult, but a lot of viewers were happy to see someone speaking casually about a difficult process. Not every unpleasant experience is the end of the world. If Gina is pretty chill about her split, maybe that’s a good thing. View Slideshow: The Real Housewives of Orange County Premiere Just Gave Us So Much More Hope For Season 13

Keeping Up with the Kardashians Rekap: Kanye West Needs a Band-Aid

Kanye West needs many things in life. Attention. Professional mental health assistance. A clue . On Sunday night’s episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, however, the controversial rapper just needed one thing from his wife: a band-aid. And it led to a pretty big argument. “Last night I was just like not in the best mood and I was just like tired,” Kim told Khloe about this tiff early in the installment, explaining: “I got home and I was like, ‘Hey’ and then I was like on my computer and then he was like, ‘Babe, will you get off your computer, I wanna talk, let’s hangout.'” Kim was trying to meet a deadline and ignored Kanye, but she responded immediately when Saint reminded his mom that it was time for his bath. Enter immature Kanye… “I shut the computer and he’s like, ‘You’re gonna go take a bath with him, but I asked to hangout and you wouldn’t?'” Kim told Khloe of West’s response. “Maybe just take a bath with Kanye and it will all be better,” Khloe quipped. But Kim said the issue went beyond just polishing her man’s knob. She expounded on a recent fight with Kanye, one that centered on him getting a boo-boo and his desire for his wife to fix it. “We had a fight because I wouldn’t get him a Band-Aid,” Kim recounted, adding: “I said, ‘Did you look in the proper place, there’s a Band-Aid here.’ He didn’t like that one. So he wanted another one, so there was a Band-Aid there and I put it on him. He didn’t like the color of the Band-Aid.” What about one of daughter North Jesus-themed band-aids, which apparently exist? Nope! “He was like, ‘I’ve slaved around the world making clothes for you to make sure that you find the best outfit and you let me go out wearing a Jesus Band-Aid,'” Kim said. “I’m like, so I’m running around to find three f-cking different color Band-Aid’s when I have three kids to look after?!” Hmm… is there something about a First World Problem we can label this as? An Ultimate and Ridiculous and Nauseating First World Problem, perhaps? Khloe simply told Kim that men often needed to be treated like the “first baby” and that, overall, Kanye is someone who requires attention and constant love. Kim understood and bought some really sexy lingerie for Valentine’s Day. Problem solved! Elsewhere, however, she continued to have problems with sibling Kourtney. This time, they centered around Kim taking it upon herself to get involved in Kourtney and Scott Disick’s relationship after Disick supposedly texted Kim that he wanted another child. Since both Scott and Kourtney were seeing other people at that time of this filming, Kim figured the two could just go the IVF route and have a fourth kid together without intercourse. Easy peasy! She emailed this brilliant idea to the rest of her loved ones… Kourtney included! By accident! Kim then tried to bury the email and have it erased from Kourtney’s phone, but Kourtney caught on and was understandably furious. Kim Kardashian to Scott Disick: Give Kourtney Some Sperm! “Honestly, I don’t even want to look at her after the whole email situation,” the mother of three confessed to her mom and Khloe. “I don’t think she wants to hurt your feelings,” Kris responded, trying to play peacemaker. “I think she just communicates differently.” Kourtney didn’t appreciate her mom “there are two sides to everything” approach and shot back: “She did something really malicious, backstabbing and actually evil. Going behind someone’s back? It’s not okay, it’s not something I will accept in my life.” Despite her anger at both Kris and Kim, Kourtney eventually settled down and spoke to Scott. Disick revealed that Kim had twisted his words and vowed to Kourtney he “would not go and call up your family” to discuss this topic of children again. From there,, Kourtney and Kim buried the tension enough to go away on a joint family skiing trip. Hooray!

Jenna Cooper Undergoes Forensic Analysis of iPhone to Clear Her Name

Jenna Cooper and Jordan Kimball found each other on Bachelor in Paradise … and then fell apart after alleged text messages seemed to expose Jenna as a cheater. Jordan broke up with her, but Jenna says she’s a victim of fraud . She hired an attorney and claims to prove that someone faked those texts. And she had her phone undergo a forensic analysis to prove just that. Jenna and Jordan have been through a hell of an ordeal, but Jenna took to Instagram to share that she can prove that she did nothing wrong. “The results from the forensic analysis are in,” Jenna announces. “And I feel compelled to share them with Jordan before anyone else.” Along with her words, she shares a couple of images that show her running a forensic program on her phone. “Despite what some people have said,” Jenna emphasizes. “I have denied all of these false allegations from the beginning.” “And,” Jenna says. “I am reiterating that I never cheated on Jordan.” She wants to make this absolutely clear. “There is no “sugar daddy,” I was not faking my feelings towards Jordan on the show,” Jenna says. Others have said that she appeared very genuine on the show, both on and off camera. “And,” Jenna continues. “That I never made or sent those fake texts posted by Stephen Carbone.” She is referring to Reality Steve . “I appreciate everyone who has believed, supported, and loved me through this,” Jenna writes. “I also forgive those of you who have said hateful things to me,” Jenna says. That’s a lot nicer than many of us would feel under those circumstances. Jenna continues: “I have spent years growing as a strong independent woman who manages her business without the help from any man.” “It is insulting to hear that anyone would question my character in that way,” she explains. “When my biggest passion is to empower women.” “This is why I am standing up for myself and refusing to be a victim,” she writes. “I did nothing wrong,” Jenna affirms. “And despite what accusatory statements negative gossip bloggers have to say…I have a voice too, and it will be heard!” Some would disappear and wait for the story to die down. Jenna seems determined to clear her name, and eager to prove it. “I am standing up for myself,” she continues. “And any woman who has ever been mistreated, overpowered, sexualized, or made to feel unworthy of sharing her story.” “I have God and the truth on my side,” she concludes. “And in the end that’s all I need.” She ends the post with: “I will not be silenced.” Jenna has also expressed an interest in more or less going to war, legally speaking, with Reality Steve . While we would all like to know who sent Steve those texts, why they sent them, and how they managed to make him confident that they were genuine … this might not be the way. But the phone analysis is a much better step. A forensic analysis of her phone should dredge up any texts of any kind through any messenger apps, including deleted texts (remember, deleting something doesn’t really erase it). If Jenna were just insisting that she’d never ever cheat, that would be one thing. Instead, she’s setting out to prove it — which makes her very believable. At this point, it’s unclear if this is about winning back Jordan’s heart or just about assuring the world that this isn’t who she is. No matter what proof she finds, this may be too much for her to reconcile with Jordan. That’s heartbreaking.

What Stevie Wonder Has To Say About Bill Cosby Might Surprise You…Or Not

Stevie Wonder Responds To Bill Cosby’s Prison Sentencing Stevie Wonder is not happy about Bill Cosby ‘s sentencing, y’all…not happy at all. On Tuesday, September 25, the famed actor was sentenced to 3 to 10 years in state prison for the 2004 drugging and sexual assault of Andrea Constand. Cosby, being the medically ill celebrity he is, was given a single cell to start out with, but the prison’s long-term goal is to get him into general population, slumming it like everyone else, CBS News reports. After all his rights were stripped eweh, everybody and their mama has had something to say about Cosby , taking to social media to share their thoughts on whether or not he did it, the timing of the allegations, and if he should be imprisoned at the ripe old age of 81. Stevie Wonder is the latest to chime in with his two cents and it doesn’t sound like he thinks his ol’ pal should be in jail. Stevie was leaving LAX on Tuesday, right after the actor’s sentencing, when he told TMZ that he’s praying for Cosby. The icon even spoke on how much an inspiration Cosby has been to those around him—you know, besides the drugs and sexual assault and all… “You know what? I just pray for everybody,” Stevie started out. When asked if he thought a sentencing of 3 to 10 years was fair, Stevie responded “I don’t like prisons.” When asked if he thought Cosby should’ve went to prison at all, he responded “I respect the work that he’s done and his career as an artist…I think he inspired a lot of people…and I just pray that God will give him mercy.” Fair enough? Or, should Stevie have taken a tougher stance, as Cosby was deemed a “sexually violent predator?”  In an earlier report, TMZ stated that Cosby’s new digs are in a maximum security prison where he will be allowed phone calls and visitation “consistent with prison policies.” In other words, he is locked UP up .

She Said She Gon’ Do What To Who?: A Playlist Of All The Times Cardi B Was Bout That Life

Source: Sean Zanni / Getty Cardi B has been making “beat that chick up” music since the beginning of her career so it should be no surprise that she is completely about that action. Over the weekend, Cardi B made her New York Fashion Week debut by attending the Harper’s Bazaar ‘ICONS’ event at The Plaza Hotel. She was dressed in a beautiful red ball gown, stunning jewelry and her hair pulled back into an elegant ponytail. Who would have known that she was dressed to beat the brakes off of somebody? On this night, Cardi B was not the only raptress in attendance. Nicki Minaj, who behind the scenes is her arch nemesis, was also at the Harper’s Bazaar soiree. It’s unclear how it all got started, who started it or why, but Cardi B ended up almost getting into a physical altercation with Nicki Minaj. From various videos that were posted, Cardi attempted to get at Nicki as best she could but the Barb was protected by security. There are rumors that Nicki’s friend, Rah Ali of Love and Hip Hop New York, defended her and actually got physical with Cardi. However, there aren’t any photos or videos to really support that theory. What we do know is that Cardi B took off her shoe and flung it at Nicki when Nicki refused to back away from the corner and fight her one on one. According to Cardi, the fight has been brewing for months. Cardi took to Instagram to share her side of what happened. “I’ve let a lot of shit slide! I let you sneak diss me, I let you lie on me,  I let you attempt to stop my bags, fuck up the way I eat! You’ve threaten other artists in the industry, told them if they work with me you’ll stop fuckin with them!! I let you talk big shit about me! I addressed you once in person, I addressed you a second time in person, and every time you copped the plea!! But when you mention my child, you choose to like comments about me as a mother, make comments about my abilities to take care of daughter, is when all bets are fuckin off!! I’ve worked too hard and come too fuckin far to let anybody fuck with my success!! Bitches talk all that shit in they raps but in real life pussy! This shit really is for entertainment!!” Regardless of which side of the beef you fall on, there’s no denying that Cardi B walks it like she talks it. To celebrate her being real about hers, here’s a playlist of songs where Cardi B tells us she’s about that action!   Cardi B – Bodak Yellow “Now she says she gon’ do what to who? / Let’s find out and see / Cardi B, you know where I’m at / You know where I be”   Cardi B – Foreva “Ran down on that bitch twice / Ran down on that bitch twice / You know me I be with whatever / If a bitch beef with me we gon’ beef foreva”   Cardi B – “Pull Up” “Hella fake, you better pull up on me / I hope you feel the same when you see my face, you better pull up on me / Ain’t no backin’ down, prepared to shake, you better pull up on me / Now you wanna be my friend, no, you ain’t safe, you better pull up, homie”   Cardi B – “Pop Off” “Who wanna pop off? / Who wanna start war? / You talkin’ shit? / I’m takin’ tops off / Jeans, off / Weaves, off / Rings, off / Everythin’, off”     Cardi B – “Get Up 10” “Just ’cause I been on the road don’t mean I been on the run / And you gon’ have to learn to hold your tongue or hold the gun  / And we all know you ain’t that type  / I smack you and the bitch that you act like”   G-Eazy ft. Cardi B – “No Limit” “Can you stop with all the subs? / Bitch I ain’t Jared / If you really want some smoke /You can pull up, you can get it”   Migos ft. Cardi B and Nicki Minaj – “Motorsport” “Why would I hop in some beef / When I could just hop in a Porsche?/ You heard she gon’ do what from who? / That’s not a reliable source / So tell me, have you seen her / Let me wrap my weave up”   Cardi B – Red Barz “Got ’em all scared, I ain’t even strike yet / Wire up jaws when I swing if the mic stretch”   Cardi B ft. Offset – “Lick” “Lookin’ like I caught a lick / Run up on me, you get hit / And all my bitches with the shits  / Bronx, New York, gangsta bitch”   Cardi B – “Bronx Season” “Now how much times do I gotta prove these niggas wrong? / And how much times I gotta show these bitches I ain’t soft?”

Everything We Know About Olympic Champion Michael Johnson Suffering A Stroke

O lympic gold medal sprinter Michael Johnson announced Saturday that he’s recovering after recently suffering a mini-stroke. SEE ALSO:  Here’s How Colin Kaepernick Is Beating The NFL Johnson “surprisingly” had what’s known as a Transient Ischemic Attack, or TIA, last week, he said in a Twitter post . The retired athlete is now at home with his family after doctors cleared him of cardiac issues. He’s expected to make a full recovery, as Johnson continues to make significant progress. “It seems these things can affect anyone, even the once fastest man in the world!” he stated. “I’m no stranger to a good exercise plan and have thrown myself into it with my usual focus and determination. … I will be posting updates on my recovery often. Thanks for all the words of encouragement!” Michael Johnson: Four-time Olympic champion recovering after 'mini-stroke' https://t.co/OcqE5LGS8k — BBC News (UK) (@BBCNews) September 8, 2018 A TIA is a temporary blockage of blood flow to the brain, according to the American Stroke Association . TIAs are often labelled mini-strokes because they can be relatively minor in terms of immediate consequences. Since it doesn’t cause permanent damage, having a TIA is often ignored as no big deal, the stroke association said. However, it’s better viewed as a “warning stroke” because they could indicate a high likelihood of a more serious stroke. The four-time Olympic champion, who will turn 51 on Sept. 13, was once the fastest man in the world at 200 meter and 400-meter races, reported BBC News , where he works as an expert track and field commentator. Johnson participated in the Olympics three times, in 1992, 1996 and 2000. He was the first man to win both the 200 meter and 400-meter race at the same Olympic game (1996 in Atlanta). He’s also won eight gold medals at the IAAF World Championships from 1991- 1999 and was elected into the United States Track and Field Hall of Fame in 2004.

Justin-Bobby Brescia: I’m Glad Lauren Conrad Won’t Harsh Our Vibe on The Hills Reboot!

Everything that’s old is new again, and the  The Hills  reboot is really happening . But Lauren Conrad won’t be taking part in The Hills: New Beginnings , which leads some fans to wonder what it will be like. Justin-Bobby Brescia does think that it will be different — but he says that it will be better without her. Take a look. Lauren Conrad and Lo Bosworth aren’t returning for the  The Hills  revival. And when  TMZ   asked Justin-Bobby Brescia , he definitely did not sound bothered by their absence. “It’s a good cast,” Brescia affirmed. He then threw some definite shade in Lauren’s direction. “We’ve got all the good people left,” Brescia says.  Wow.  That is indirect, but massively harsh. “It’s gonna be good,” Brescia affirms “Everybody’s happy.” He explains where he believes that the good cheer originates. “There are good vibes,” he says of the cast. He says that if there wrong people were present, they could ruin the experience and the reboot for everyone involved. “When you’ve got s–tty people running around,” Brescia declares. “It creates this ambiance you don’t need.” In other words, he’s saying that toxic people would make for a toxic environment. It’s only been a little over a year since  Lauren Conrad welcomed her first child . She is busy being a new mother. As it happens, she is also worth something in the range of $25 million. Some of her erstwhile costars might need that paycheck enough that they’re happy to hire a sitter (looking at you, Heidi and Spencer Pratt), but if she wants to devote these years to motherhood, she can afford to. She does not need this reboot and she will not be taking part in it. But even if Justin-Bobby Brescia is still nursing a grudge over that time she roasted him over his army boots, she’s not the  only  absentee on his mind. Lo bowed out, saying that she had required “years of therapy” to recover from  Laguna Beach  and  The Hills  the first time around. “Duh,” Brescia says in response. “You could probably see that from a mile away when she first filmed, right?” That’s not exactly a charitable way to phrase it, but he explains why he’s not exactly weeping in her absence. “[She was] never a fan of mine,” he says. “So…” That sounds harsh, and it is, but we can understand why he’s not beside himself. Old feuds die hard, folks. Which is great news when you’re talking about bringing back a classic reality series that helped transform the television landscape.
