Khloe Kardashian Tells Tristan She Loves Him but Isn't in Love With Him

By // No comments:

Making it work. During this season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Khloé Kardashian has been vocal about how appreciative she is of Tristan Thompson helping so much with their 2-year-old daughter, True. However, the NBA pro, 29, has been hopeful that their friendship will turn into more.

During the Thursday, November 12, episode, Tristan opened up to Kris Jenner and Malika Haqq about how much he hopes that Khloé, 36, will forgive him for his past infidelities.

 

“Losing her made me lose a part of myself, and I was going down a path — that was not who I wanted to be,” the athlete, who was caught on two different occasions cheating on the Strong Looks Better Naked author, told Malika, 37. “I gave [Kris] my word that I was going to protect her daughter, and I failed. That kills me the most — when someone you respect and have high regard for and you let them down.”

He later shared those sentiments with Kris, who assured him that although he really hurt everyone in the family with his actions, he has gone the distance to prove he really loves Khloé and is sorry.

During the finale, the Good American cofounder revealed to her family via video chat that she and Tristan had not hooked up amid the pandemic. She added that although that he tries to make a move “every day,” they’ve only pecked. However, she knew they had to discuss where their relationship was heading.

Later, she shared her hesitations and mixed feelings with Tristan.

“We’ve done this rodeo before where your actions didn’t go with your words and for almost a year now, you’ve been a different person. It frustrates me cause I’m like, ‘Why now? Why are you, like, the man I dreamed of currently? Why couldn’t you be that when we were together?’” the former Kocktails With Khloé host asked. “One of my fears is you’re acting like this until you get what you want, and then if you do, you’re gonna turn into like the old Tristan again.’”

He assured Khloé that he wants more than just a coparenting relationship, but that if she couldn’t do that, they’d always be family.

“You can understand the reservations I have, right?” Khloé asked. “Do I love you? A million percent. Am I in love with you currently? No, but would it be great if I could have this fairytale ending? Yes. But just because you have a family with someone also doesn’t mean you have to stay with someone if it’s not the best fit. … I don’t know what the future holds. All I do know is I am actively trying to take down little bricks. I try to be more trusting. I try. It’s a slow process, but that’s just how it has to be for me, but I do appreciate the effort you make, and the new you. It’s night and day — who you are.”

The pair, who split in April 2019 after he kissed Kylie Jenner‘s former best friend Jordyn Woods, are now back together, Us Weekly confirmed in August. An insider shared with Us at the time that the reality star feels hopeful that he has “changed for good.”

Clare Crawley Admits She's 'Hurt' by Fans Questioning Her Love for Dale

By // No comments:

Focusing on happiness. Emotions were running high when newly engaged Clare Crawley and Dale Moss sat down with host Chris Harrison during the Tuesday, November 10, episode of The Bachelorette.

“Everything he was looking for was everything I was looking for,” the hairstylist, 39, told Harrison, 49, about her fiancé. “He doesn’t even realize he does this for me, but last night, I was having the worst anxiety ever, and you showed up when I was pacing around the pool with anxiety. He just grabbed my hand and paced with me around the pool. That’s all I’ve ever wanted is a man to show up for me — not only when it’s easy, not only when it’s good and fun and pretty in ball gowns and all that. But, like, show up when I’m in my yoga pants and no makeup, and my hair’s in a greasy knot. Like, show up for me. He’s done that every single time.”

Crawley and Moss, 32, got engaged during the Thursday, November 5, episode, after less than two weeks of knowing each other. Although the couple are in a good place, the Bachelor alum is a bit bothered by the skepticism online about how fast the pair fell in love.

“I think I’d be lying if I said it didn’t hurt me because here is something that I finally found that makes me so incredibly happy, like, to my core,” she shared, while holding back tears. “To finally feel this type of love that I have been craving and wanting, I just wish people could be happy for us.”

The former football player and the California native also reiterated the fact that they did not communicate before the show.

“100 percent no. I can wholeheartedly attest to this on my dad’s grave,” she said. Moss then added, “Clare and I never once spoke, never communicated, never talked, never texted.”

In fact, he didn’t have her cellphone number until the pair were engaged, they revealed during the episode.

Who Is Spencer? Meet Tayshia’s Controversial ‘Bachelorette’ Contestant

By // No comments:

A new face! Tayshia Adams isn’t the only newcomer on the Tuesday, November 10, episode of The Bachelorette.

The 30-year-old former phlebotomist is introduced to several new contestants on Tuesday’s episode, including Spencer Robertson. The 16 men that Clare Crawley left behind for Dale Moss are also still at La Quinta Resort hoping to continue their journey to find love with Tayshia.

News broke in August that ABC called in Tayshia to take over for Clare, 39, after the hairstylist fell for Dale, 32. Bachelor Nation watched the South Dakota native propose to Clare during the Thursday, November 5, episode. While Clare admitted that she had her eye on Dale based on his social media before production even began, Tayshia told Us Weekly exclusively that she didn’t do much research on the suitors.

“When I was in quarantine, I didn’t think that this phone call was ever going to come. … I did look at the guys once they were first announced for Clare, but that was, like, months and months ago,” Tayshia told Us ahead of Tuesday’s episode. “I didn’t really have the chance to look at them before. And I’m glad I didn’t, to be honest.”

She continued, “I couldn’t have asked for, like, a better group of men. I’ve always said that I want an older, more mature man that has depth and all of these guys have exactly that. It was, like, perfect.”

Tayshia added that she didn’t have a chance to get a rundown from Clare regarding their mutual contestants.

“Even if I did have the opportunity, I don’t know if I would have asked [anything],” she told Us. “This is the thing, I have learned that you have to give everybody a chance and you never know what that’s going to look like. It might not look like the same for you as it did for somebody else.”

In addition to 30-year-old Spencer, Peter Giannikopoulos, Noah Erb and Montel Hill are the other three men who join Tayshia’s cast during Tuesday’s episode.

The Bachelorette airs on ABC Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET. Scroll through for five things to know about Spencer — including which members of Bachelor Nation he seemingly knows:

Jason Momoa: I Couldn't Pay My Bills After 'Game of Thrones' Exit

By // No comments:

Not part of his plan. Jason Momoa left Game of Thrones after just one season — but his exit made a big impact on his financial status.

Jason Momoa's Hottest Moments Over the Years: Photos Read article

The Hawaiian actor, 41, played Khal Drogo on the HBO series in 2011. At the end of the first season, the Dothraki warrior is killed by Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) in a fiery rage. The shocking death was one of many infamous moments in the Game of Thrones legacy, but things didn’t pan out so well for Momoa and his wife, Lisa Bonet, after his big HBO break.

“I mean, we were starving after Game of Thrones,” the Dune actor admitted in an interview with InStyle, published on Tuesday, November 10. “I couldn’t get work. It’s very challenging when you have babies and you’re completely in debt.”

Momoa and Bonet, 52, began dating in 2005. The longtime couple didn’t get legally married until October 2017 but had previously welcomed two children: daughter Lola, now 13, and son Nakoa-Wolf, now 12. Bonet also shares daughter Zoë Kravitz with her ex-husband, Lenny Kravitz.

Celebrities Who Went From Rags to Riches Read article

When he first learned of his Game of Thrones character’s dramatic fate, Momoa was nearly speechless.

“I was reading [George R.R. Martin‘s book] and I was like: ‘Holy s–t! F–k, I’m dead!” he told Entertainment Weekly in 2011, marveling at the author’s ability to craft such twists and turns. “Here’s your lead characters, you’re supposed to think about them one way, and you hate them, then you love them, and then they’re killed and it’s a whirlwind of emotion. All the little kids and even the smallest of characters just grow and grow and grow. He built a beautiful world. … I’m going to miss that character.”

The Baywatch: Hawaii alum had few regrets about the “phenomenal” experience he had working on the fantasy series but admitted at the time that he “wished there was more stuff [Khal Drogo] could have done.”

Following his early exit from the Emmy-winning show, it took a moment for Momoa’s career to pick back up. He eventually went on to score the role of Aquaman in the DC comic book universe, beginning with 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Three years later, he reflected on the unexpected trajectory of his path to stardom.

“So homesick. Looking through my phone I found this,” he wrote via Instagram in May 2019 alongside a throwback photo of himself laying in the back of a van in Donegal, Ireland. “It was an amazing simple moment with my best friend @captainriff. While filming GOT we had a lil break. We were [too] broke to fly home so we rented a panel van aka UHAUL in Belfast and drove around beautiful amazing IRELAND searching for the greatest pint of Guinness. Turns out it’s perfect everywhere. … Been a long road and I feel like I’m just getting started.”

Kaitlyn Bristowe Reacts to Carrie Ann's Judging Backlash: 'Make It Stop'

By // No comments:

No hard feelings. Kaitlyn Bristowe knows Carrie Ann Inaba‘s tough judging on Dancing With the Stars is coming from a good place — even though she doesn’t completely agree with it.

Biggest 'Dancing With the Stars' Feuds Read article

The former Bachelorette, 35, and the choreographer, 52, haven’t seen eye to eye throughout season 29 of the ABC dance competition, which kicked off in September. During the November 2 episode, Bristowe and Artem Chigvintsev gave their routine their all, but it still wasn’t enough for Inaba. While fans have quickly come to Bristowe’s defense, she encouraged them to reign it in.

“I know that Carrie Ann was getting heat on social media for being hard on me and I’m like, ‘Make it stop!’ Because this is a TV show, right?” the Canada native said on a recent episode of her “Off the Vine” podcast. “Carrie Ann is totally allowed her opinions. I’m allowed to not agree with them or feel hurt by them, but it doesn’t mean people need to go and bully on her. I heard that she feels bullied and that makes me feel so terrible because I’ve been bullied so hard online … Don’t go bullying her because she’s being hard on me. That’s her decision and she’s a judge. That’s why she’s paid the big bucks to be a judge on that show, right?”

After the last episode of DWTS, viewers took to social media to discuss the differences in Bristowe’s scores and those of her fellow competitors. Some fans even wondered if Inaba was harder on Chigvintsev, 38, because of their past romance. After seeing some of the backlash online, the Hawaii native took aim at those who chose to attack her professional opinions.

“I still get bullied. … I can’t believe it still happens as adults,” she said during the November 3 episode of The Talk. “I want to tell people who bully: It doesn’t make me change the way I judge. I’m not about to change because you try to bully me. It only makes me stand stronger in my convictions and what I believe in.”

Following their recent disappointing scores, Bristowe and the Russian ballroom pro admitted to Entertainment Tonight that Inaba’s judging was starting to feel “a little personal.” Despite her questions about the feedback she’s received, the former spin instructor doesn’t think Inaba deserves to be trolled.

“I want everybody to not be mean to Carrie Ann even if she’s harsh on me,” Bristowe said on her podcast, adding that it makes her “sick” to see negative comments about the DWTS judge. “You can ask why. You can wonder why or be like, ‘Why are you doing this?’ But don’t be mean. That’s all I have to say.”

Dancing With the Stars airs on ABC Mondays at 8 p.m. ET.

How ‘Jeopardy!’ Honored Alex Trebek in 1st Show After His Death

By // No comments:

Gone, but not forgotten. Jeopardy! paid tribute to longtime host Alex Trebek in first show back following his death on Sunday, November 8.

At the top of the Monday, November 9, episode, executive producer Mike Richards opened the show, sharing that Trebek had died at age 80 over the weekend.

“This is an enormous loss for our staff, crew, for his family, for his millions of fans. He loved this show and everything it stood for. In fact, he taped his final episodes less than two weeks ago,” Richards said, holding back tears. “He will forever be an inspiration for his constant desire to learn, his kindness and for his love of his family. We will air his final 35 episodes as they were shot. That’s what he wanted. On behalf of everyone here at Jeopardy!, thank you for everything Alex. This is Jeopardy!

 

Ahead of the Monday episode, the game show announced it would be honoring the late star, who died on Sunday after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. “Today’s show features a special message on behalf of everyone in the Jeopardy! family. 💜,” the show’s official Twitter page wrote, noting that the host had taped shows through December 25. “They will air as he intended, in his honor.”

One day prior, Jeopardy! confirmed Trebek’s passing after his nearly two-year cancer fight.

“Jeopardy! is saddened to share that Alex Trebek passed away peacefully at home early this morning, surrounded by family and friends,” the announcement read via Twitter. “Thank you, Alex.”

“Alex Trebek’s courage, grace and strength inspired millions and awed those of us who knew him,” the Wheel of Fortune host, 74, tweeted. “A tremendous loss for his family, friends, co-workers and countless viewers. I was honored to be a friend and a part of his professional family for all these years. A very sad day.”

White, 63, said she will “cherish the many memories” she’s shared with the late star, noting she will “always be in awe of the way he faced the battle he fought so valiantly, and I’m devastated to lose my longtime friend.”

The Dancing With the Stars judge, 52, paid tribute to Trebek via Instagram, writing, “Today the light of life dims with the loss of one of the brightest lights … Alex Trebek you will be missed dearly.”

The longtime television host publicly revealed in March 2019 that he suffered from stage IV pancreatic cancer.

“Now, normally the prognosis for this is not very encouraging, but I’m gonna fight this,” he said in a YouTube video at the time. “I’m gonna keep working and with the love and support of my family and friends and with the help of your prayers also, I plan to beat the low survival rate statistics for this disease.”

Why Tayshia Is Happy She Didn’t Talk to Clare Before 'Bachelorette' Switch

By // No comments:

ABC kept Tayshia Adams and Clare Crawley separated during their respective stays at La Quinta Resort in Palm Springs — but what would the season 16 Bachelorettes have said to each other?

Bachelor Nation Reacts to Clare and Dale's Quick Engagement Read article

“Even if I did have the opportunity, I don’t know if I would have asked [anything],” Tayshia, 30, exclusively told Us Weekly on Monday, November 9, about chatting with Clare, 39. “This is the thing, I have learned that you have to give everybody a chance and you never know what that’s going to look like. It might not look like the same for you as it did for somebody else.”

News broke in August that Clare stopped filming season 16 of The Bachelorette because she found The One within the first two weeks of filming. After the hairstylist accepted a proposal from Dale Moss during the Thursday, November 5, episode, fans got their first glimpse of Tayshia, who took over the role. The “Clickbait” podcast host previously told Jimmy Kimmel that she wished Clare “warned” her about some of their mutual suitors, but she told Us that she didn’t mean her remark.

“If there’s anything that I’ve learned from Bachelor, [it’s] to give every single person a chance,” she concluded.

While Tayshia also revealed during her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! that she hadn’t spoken to Clare, the two women have since been in touch.

“We have been in communication,” Tayshia told Us. “But I think at the same time, like, just having respect for each other’s experiences has been really, really nice.”

Clare, for her part, admitted to looking up Dale’s social media profile before production began in July — and she liked what she saw. Tayshia, on the other hand, went in blind.

Drew Barrymore as Josie Grossie, More Stars Revisit Roles in Quarantine

By // No comments:

It’s all happening! Celebs like Amy Poehler and Daniel Radcliffe gave their biggest fans just what they wanted to see amid the coronavirus pandemic by revisiting their most beloved characters.

Poehler, 48, reprised her role of Leslie Knope and was joined by Parks and Recreation cast members Rashida Jones, Aziz Ansari, Nick Offerman, Aubrey Plaza, Chris Pratt, Adam Scott, Rob Lowe, Jim O’Heir and Retta for an all-new quarantine-inspired episode of the former NBC sitcom. For the first time since the series ended in 2015, fans got to fall back in love with the fictional civil servants — and take a glimpse at how the characters would be living during the pandemic.

When the show’s seventh and final season ended with a fast-forward to the future, Scott, 47, never thought he would get the chance to play Ben Wyatt again.

“Jumping into the future is a reunion-proof ending in a lot of ways,” the Big Little Lies actor told Variety ahead of the reunion episode on April 30. “But when Mike [Schur] sent the email, it just, at least in my mind, felt like, ‘Of course.’ This is essentially the only circumstance that would call for a ‘Parks’ reunion, I think: to help people out. It makes emotional sense, and creative sense as well.”

The Parks and Rec gang raised nearly $3 million for COVID-19 relief funds, teaming up with Feeding America and the National Institute of Mental Health to help those hit hardest by the pandemic. While the NBC alums were able to provide monetary aid to people in need, Radcliffe, 30, donned his wizard robes once more to make fans’ boredom and loneliness disappear.

Earlier this month, the Harry Potter star confirmed he would be returning to Hogwarts and lending his voice to a new virtual book club. Radcliffe and other stars — including Dakota Fanning and Stephen Fry — are taking turns reading chapters from the first of J.K. Rowling’s seven novels, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone/Sorcerer’s Stone.

“Each will be reading different sections of this iconic book, with its themes of family, friendship, courage and overcoming adversity, to families around the world,” a press release teased.

Scroll down to see more stars who brought their most beloved characters back to life while in quarantine.

Holy Throwback! Drew Barrymore Revisits Never Been Kissed’s Josie Grossie

By // No comments:

A blast from the past! It’s been 21 years since Never Been Kissed hit the big screen, and now, star Drew Barrymore is revisiting her former role of Josie Geller — a.k.a. Josie Grossie.

Stars Revisit Roles in Quarantine Read article

During the Drew Barrymore Show on Friday, November 6, the 45-year-old actress brought Josie on as her “copilot” to help deliver the day’s news. Josie, a high school student and aspiring journalist, was decked out in her 1980s prom dress and matching scrunchie alongside a mouth full of braces.

“Thank you for having me! Your studio is so beautiful,” an excited Josie told Barrymore, who said in response, “Oh, so is your ensemble! You know, you didn’t have to dress up just for this.”

Josie pointed out that since she’s on TV, the occasion called for the perfect outfit. “It’s the fanciest thing I own, and I never really got to wear it anyway,” Josie said of the pink dress, which was ruined by bullies who tossed eggs at her during a prom night prank. The popular kids also referred to her as “Josie Grossie.”

The Flower Beauty founder, for her part, offered to help Josie “make a new memory” for her in the gown. However, as they began to read the news together, it became clear that Josie was not caught up with current events. While reading a headline about the presidential election, she incorrectly listed George H.W. Bush and Michael Dukakis as the candidates. (Bush, who died in 2018 at age 94, and Dukakis, 87, ran for office in 1988.)

“Oh, Josie — you’ve missed so much,” Barrymore told her former character. “A lot has happened since 1998.”

Barrymore starred in Never Been Kissed in 1999 alongside David Arquette, Michael Vartan, Leelee Sobieski, Jeremy Jordan, Molly Shannon and John C. Reilly. The rom-com followed newspaper copywriter Josie Geller (Barrymore) as she goes undercover at her former high school to gather research for a story. While there, she ends up falling for her high school English teacher, Sam Coulson (Vartan).

In early October, Barrymore virtually reunited with her former Never Been Kissed costar Jessica Alba on The Drew Barrymore Show. At the time, the Honest Beauty founder praised the Santa Clarita Diet alum for helping out many of the young actors on set.

“You popped so many actors as well,” Alba, 39, said. “It felt like camp, but you also, I mean, you really took so many people under your wing and guided them and a lot of us were just really starting out and you set the stage, I would say for us and gave us a platform to be successful, so thank you.”

Josie isn’t the first character Barrymore has revisited since recently launching her daytime show. Last month, she recreated her iconic Scream character, Casey Becker, who was Ghostface’s first victim in the 1996 film. In her reimagining of Casey, the Golden Globe winner envisioned what life would be like for the character had she not been slain by the infamous serial killer.

Bob Saget Shares How John Stamos Helped Him Prepare for ‘The Masked Singer’

By // No comments:

Getting by with a little help from his friends! Bob Saget revealed how his friendship with his Full House costar John Stamos helped him prepare for The Masked Singer.

'Full House' Stars: Then and Now! Read article

“John and I have been in a band since Full House and both of those songs [I performed on the show] I sang with John Stamos. Usually, it’s just a few guys jamming, but we love performing and then I love to hog the mic for four hours,” the comedian, 64, told Us Weekly exclusively on Wednesday, November 4, following his elimination from the Fox reality series. “So, John has really set me up for success.”

Saget continued, “I got every song you play with a pop-rock band, [which is] my comfort zone. I had voice constraints on ‘Satisfaction.’ The helmet [in my costume] was choking me during that one! There was a dancer that popped up that wasn’t supposed to be there, so I turned and lost my voice because of construction. So, I sounded a little rough!”

Saget and Stamos, 57, costarred on Full House together as Danny Tanner and Jesse Katsopolis, respectively, from 1987 to 1995. The pair later reprised their roles on the sitcom’s spinoff series, Fuller House, which streamed on Netflix from 2016 to 2020.

On Wednesday, Saget was eliminated from The Masked Singer and was revealed to be the Squiggle Monster. The former America’s Funniest Home Videos host told Us what he will cherish most from his time on the show as the Squiggle Monster.

“I’m going to miss that my dressing room door said SM [for Squiggle monster] and SM was all over everything. So, take that for what you will,” he explained. “They give you this sweatshirt that says, ‘Don’t Talk to Me,’ and an N95 mask and shield. It really is so top secret.”

Saget added, “Also, I think a lot of the fans knew [who I was] because I do a lot of singing in my comedy shows. So, a lot of fans did recognize me. I’m doing a drive-in show coming up, and I think I’m going to add in all my Masked Singer songs, maybe ‘Satisfaction.’”

The one thing that Saget won’t miss is his experience being in his Squiggle Monster costume. He said that the head is “way heavier” than he anticipated and that there was an abundance of foam inside, which made it “hot and hard to sing” and his “allergies were all over the place” during his time on the show.

“It was so hot, they had to add a ton of ice packs to it to keep me cool enough to perform,” he shared.

Leading up to the big reveal, fans were left several clues that indicated Saget may have been the Squiggle Monster. In the character’s clues package, he called himself the “hyperactive voice of the people,” which fits his past narrating on How I Met Your Mother and hosting AFHV. Many of the hints also appeared to honor his Full House ties, including a DJ for his TV character’s daughter D.J. Tanner (Candace Cameron Bure).

The Masked Singer airs on Fox Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET.

After a decade together, the twosome tied the knot in an intimate ceremony held in October 2019. Shortly after the private wedding, Burton spoke to Us Weekly exclusively about why it was the right time for the pair to get married.

“You just hit a point one day when you want it to be real and our lives are very, very busy,” the White Collar alum said at the time. “It became really easy to just be like, ‘We’re close enough. We’re close enough.’ But you also want to set an example with your children and we didn’t want to be liars anymore.”

Burton continued, “We called each other husband and wife because we lived as husband and wife. It was as true as anything, but it became more of a celebration and it was a thank you to the people who supported us over the last decade.”

Fans Think Carrie Ann Is Harsh on Kaitlyn Due to Past Romance With Artem

By // No comments:

Hurt feelings? Dancing With the StarsCarrie Ann Inaba has been showing Kaitlyn Bristowe and Artem Chigvintsev tough love this season — and some fans think she’s gone too far.

Every Bachelor Nation Star Who Has Competed on 'Dancing With the Stars' Read article

The former Bachelorette, 35, and her professional partner, 38, left it all on the dance floor during the Monday, November 2, episode of the ABC competition series after facing harsh criticism and a low score from Inaba, 52, the week before. “I feel like I’m never going to be good enough for what they hold me to,” Bristowe admitted during an emotional rehearsal before she performed.

While the Hawaii native commended Bristowe’s effort in what she thought was one of the “best performances” so far, she still laid into the routine. “I know last week was a tough week, but you came back with grace and energy. I’m a little torn right now,” Inaba said, calling attention to a move that she thought looked like a lift, which is not allowed under the show’s rules.

After comparing the dances of other contestants, some viewers wondered whether the choreographer’s critiques were more personal than professional. Chigvintsev dated Inaba for two years after meeting on the set of So You Think You Can Dance in 2006 — and some fans think she is taking her feelings out on the DWTS duo.

“#DWTS k @carrieanninaba just because [you] and Artem used to date there’s no need to be so hard on @kaitlynbristowe,” one fan tweeted, while another noticed that the other two judges, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough, were more constructive with their comments. (Inaba and Tonioli gave the pair 8s while Hough awarded them a 9.)

“@carrieanninaba please learn to judge ALL contestants the SAME way. Don’t put your personal feelings ahead of that,” one tweet read. “I feel for some contestants on @DancingABC bc you clearly don’t like them based on how you judge them. I don’t see @derekhough or @BrunoTonioli doing that.”

Some social media users took Inaba’s side, but many believed Bristowe and Chigvintsev have proven themselves to be one of the strongest pairs on the show this season.

“I do not understand why @carrieanninaba hates @kaitlynbristowe so much??? Like I know you dated Artem but DAMN. Kaitlyn is deff top 3 on there and she treats her like trash,” another viewer wrote.

After giving their all on Monday night, Chigvintsev and the “Off the Vine” podcast host told Entertainment Tonight that Inaba’s judging felt “personal.” The next day, however, Inaba defended herself against the backlash.

“I still get bullied. Right about this time is when people start to bully me because of the way I judge people. I can’t believe it still happens as adults,” she said on The Talk on Tuesday, November 3. “I want to tell people who bully: It doesn’t make me change the way I judge. I’m not about to change because you try to bully me. It only makes me stand stronger in my convictions and what I believe in.”

“I would never imagine ever having to write this, but I made it safely out of my emergency surgery,” the Real cohost, 41, said. “I will be forever grateful to Dr. Nasseri who identified my potentially life-threatening condition. What simply started as a sore throat had unbeknownst to me become a dangerous infection that already closed at least 60% of my airway and resulted in a throat abscess that spread in a matter of 3 days.”

Mai shared a photo of herself in the hospital on social media, and revealed how heartbreaking it was for her to step back from DWTS.

“Although I am grateful to be recovering safely, I can’t lie… I am devastated by the fact that my journey with #DWTS will end this way 🥺,😞,” she wrote via Instagram. “Dancing on this show has been the most exhilarating adventure. I’ve gained both beautiful friendships and loving supporters.”

Earlier in the day, Mai announced that she had to withdraw from the competition after finding out about a serious health condition that “requires immediate attention and surgery.”

The Holey Moley star explained in a statement to Us Weekly that she is “heartbroken” her journey ending so early.

“I have pushed myself to new limits physically and mentally, and I am so proud of how far we’ve come,” she said. “I can’t thank my partner, Brandon Armstrong, enough for being so supportive and believing in me. I also want to thank MAI fans who voted every week, and I wish everyone else in the competition the best of luck.”

ABC announced during Good Morning America that Mai had been diagnosed with epiglottitis, a condition that causes swelling in the throat and could block airflow to the lungs.

When the Avengers star returned to host in December 2019, she took the opportunity to lob some jokes at the A Very Punchable Face author. “The sixth time is even more exciting than the fifth because, you know, you’re not worried anymore.

Johansson then got sentimental about her typically private relationship with Jost. “This place means so much to me. I have so many friends here, and I met the love of my life here,” she gushed before kissing him.

Kelly Henderson: Kristin Cavallari Used Jay Affair Rumor for Story Line

By // No comments:

Very Cavallari may be over, but the drama surrounding the show is still alive and well. Kelly Henderson accused former BFF Kristin Cavallari of using rumors that she had an affair with Jay Cutler to make the reality series more interesting.

Kristin Cavallari and Kelly Henderson’s Former Friendship Read article

The celebrity stylist, 38, admitted during the Thursday, October 29, episode of The Domenick Nati Show that she was “not really sure” why her friendship with Cavallari, 33, ended. “I got a text from her a week before filming started that she was upset with me. Then I didn’t even understand or know [what] was going on,” she said, noting that she believed her “busy” schedule contributed to the rift. “Unfortunately I think it played into they needed a story line for a show.”

Henderson claimed the Laguna Beach alum discouraged her from commenting on the infidelity rumors when they began.

“I was told to not address this because it was bulls—t and if you gave life to rumors, it just made them bigger and more true,” she alleged, adding that she never reached out to Cutler, 37, because she did not want her words to get “twisted against me.”

The Velvet’s Edge founder then explained why she did not contact Cavallari after news of her separation from the former NFL star.

“I think that’s interesting that after she said all of the stuff that she said about me on national television and things that were not true that she expected me to reach out. At that point, I felt extremely betrayed and not like we were friends,” she said. “I probably didn’t reach out either because I was getting so blown up by tabloids because of what she put in people’s minds about an affair that was not ever true, nor did it happen. So yeah, I wasn’t very happy with her. It didn’t feel like the right thing for me to reach out. I was not in a place to do that.”

Henderson concluded that she might consider being friends with the Uncommon James designer again. However, she does not “trust her now.”

Season 3 of Very Cavallari documented Cavallari’s falling out with Henderson after rumors surfaced that the “Velvet’s Edge” podcast host was having an affair with Cutler. The Hills alum then alleged that her former costar used their friendship for fame.

“The whole time, her whole thing has been like, ‘I don’t care about the show. I only care about your friendship,’” Cavallari said on a January episode of Very Cavallari. “She drank the Kool-Aid, big time. I thought Kelly was the last person on the planet that this would ever happen with.”

Cutler and the True Comfort author announced their separation in April after nearly seven years of marriage; she soon after confirmed that Very Cavallari would not return for season 4 amid their divorce. Henderson, meanwhile, clarified in May during iHeartRadio’s “All’s Fair With Laura Wasser” podcast that she had “nothing to do with their divorce and [is] not dating Jay Cutler.”

'Southern Charm' Cast Has Mixed Feelings About Thomas Ravenel's Return

By // No comments:

Southern Charm fans — and cast members — were shocked to learn Kathryn Dennis briefly moved in with ex Thomas Ravenel earlier this year … and even more surprised to see the disgraced former Bravo star on the season 7 premiere on Thursday, October 29.

'Southern Charm' Season 7: What We Know Read article

“I’m always completely blown away by them, even though I shouldn’t be at this point. But when she said she was living with them, I mean, my jaw hit the floor,” Craig Conover exclusively told Us Weekly. “And then to find out that he filmed is incredible. I mean, some people will say, like, we shouldn’t give them a platform or show it, [but] it’s not a positive for Thomas that he filmed at all. So, anyone worried that we’re helping him by filming him, it’s not accurate. I mean, for him to go on Twitter all the time and blast the show and then film? It’s just incredible.”

While Craig was excited to see Thomas on the show, Shep Rose felt differently, citing the former politician’s negative tweets about the series since his 2018 exit.

“For as much shouting and hollering negatively about the show … that just pisses me off, honestly,” Shep told Us. “It’s not anybody on the show’s fault, anything bad that might’ve happened with him. And also, he really enjoyed it when he was on it. I mean, let’s be real honest here. He loved whatever fame and notoriety. He had a lot of fun with it, so don’t cry over what you perceive as spilled milk, you know, because it was a lot of fun.”

Southern Charm viewers watched Thomas and Kathryn’s on-again, off-again relationship play out on the first five seasons of the Bravo series. The network cut ties with Thomas, who shares daughter Kensie, 6, and son Saint, 4, with Kathryn, after he was accused of sexual assault while season 5 was airing. (Thomas, who pleaded guilty to assault and battery charges in 2019, paid a $125,000 settlement to their former caretaker, Dawn, who filed the report against him.)

According to Shep, there’s more drama between the exes that we haven’t even seen on Southern Charm over the years.

“The insanity and the dysfunction is literally nothing compared to what we don’t even know. So, I’m not surprised by anything,” he said. “And if you told me that they went like skydiving without a parachute, I’d be like, ‘Yeah, that makes sense.’”

Newbie Leva Bonaparte, meanwhile, was shocked to learn Kathryn was living with Thomas.

“I was like, ‘What the F?’ … Every time I’m around Kathryn, it’s just like a bomb goes off,” she said. “To me, that is so wild, but for her, it’s like just another Tuesday.”

Thomas, for his part, told Us earlier this month that he wasn’t paid for his appearance — and didn’t think the network would use the footage. “I just let them film a little segment with the kids as a favor to Kathryn,” he said. “At the time, she was staying at my house in the guest room because her house was being painted and was unsafe for her and the kids.”

Southern Charm airs on Bravo Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET.
