Mischa Barton Says Ex-BF Has "Doctored" Sex Tape Copies
Mischa Barton says she found proof one of her exes has copies of what she calls “doctored” sex tapes. She was supposed to have a courtroom showdown Friday with Adam Spaw, but he was absent due to a family illness. Instead, his attorney appeared and…
Paris Jackson SLAMS Kendall & Kylie Jenner: Show Some Respect!
As you may have heard, Kendall and Kylie Jenner aren’t having the greatest week, and they have no one to blame but themselves.
For some reason, the sisters thought it would be a good idea to sell t-shirts emblazoned with trademarked images of artists like Tupac, The Notorious B.I.G., and Ozzy Osbourne.
To make matters worse, KJ and KJ superimposed photos of themselves over the images over the legendary artists.
It was like some sort of bizarre experiment in subliminal advertising:
“If we make people think of us when they’re looking at iconic artists,” the sisters seemed to be saying, “they’ll mistakenly think that we’re super talented, too!”
Needless to say, the plan didn’t work out.
First, Kendall and Kylie were slammed by Biggie’s mom in a social media tirade for the ages.
Shortly thereafter, the Jenners were destroyed by the Osbournes, as both Sharon and Kelly took to Twitter to verbally tear them new ones.
Now, relatives of famous musicians who weren’t directly affected by Kendall and Kylie’s idiocy are getting in on the fun:
Paris Jackson is roughly Kylie’s age and two years younger than Kendall, so hopefully her stern words about the importance of respecting one’s musical elders will hit home especially hard:
“As a huge fan of zeppelin, the doors, Floyd.. I mean these bands literally helped shape who I am today. I can’t condone this ‘fashion,"” Jackson wrote on Twitter.
“Legends like these who completely changed our world today, not just the music world, should be respected and honored. not turned into this.”
She added:
“Pink Floyd is not Chanel. Led Zeppelin is not Michael Kors. <etallica is not Givenchy. Don’t get it twisted. #bandsnotbrands #RESPECTMUSIC
Boom. Hopefully Kendall and Kylie heard the deafening sound of that mic drop.
The sisters issued the following apology on their social media pages yesterday, but it could be a case of too little, too late:
“These designs were not well thought out and we deeply apologize to anyone that has been upset and/or offended, especially to the families of the artists,” reads the statement.
“We are huge fans of their music and it was not our intention to disrespect these cultural icons in any way. The tee shirts have been pulled from retail and all images have been removed. We will use this as an opportunity to learn from theses mistakes, and again we are very sorry.”
Biggie’s estate has already rejected the apology, and no one else seems to be in any hurry to accept it.
It’ll be interesting to see how many PR crises these girls can endure.
Nick Diaz Smokes Fat Joint Hours after Doping Suspension

Jay-Z"s Mom Gloria Carter Comes Out as Lesbian in New Song!
Jay-Z took a page out of Beyonce’s Lemonade playbook and dropped an album, 4:44, out of the blue that nobody can stop talking about.
Between the huge new revelations about Jay-Z’s cheating and Beyonce’s miscarriages, some otherwise big deals were contained in that album that really deserve a little more attention.
Like Jay-Z’s mom, Gloria Carter, coming out as a lesbian on the new album’s third track. Yes, really.
Jay-Z isn’t using subtle references to Sappho or Victorian-era symbolism, either.
His lyrics in the song, “Smile,” really spell things out.
“Mama had four kids, but she’s a lesbian, had to pretend so long that she’s a thespian. Had to hide in the closet, so she medicate. Society shame and the pain was too much to take.”
It gets better.
We’re not just saying the phrase, “It gets better.” We mean that the story told through these lyrics absolutely get more uplifting.
“Cried tears of joy when you fell in love. Don’t matter to me if it’s a him or her. I just want to see you smile through all the hate.”
That is precious.
The song is “Smile” by Jay-Z featuring Gloria Carter, so yes, she absolutely makes her own voice heard in the track.
“Living in the shadow. Can you imagine what kind of life it is to live? In the shadows people see you as happy and free, because that’s what you want them to see. Living two lives, happy, but not free.”
Again, this is Gloria Carter’s turn.
And she continues:
“The world is changing and they say it’s time to be free, but you live with the fear of just being me.”
The world is changing, but like any civil rights movement, even the major milestones don’t necessarily change hearts and minds, and certainly not overnight.
And many in the LGBT+ community have to combat their own internalized homophobia.
That is, they’ll shy away from things like holding hands with a partner or attending Pride activities.
“Living in the shadow feels like the safe place to be. No harm for them, no harm for me. But life is short, and it’s time to be free. Love who you love, because life isn’t guaranteed. Smile.”
That’s so powerful.
Jay-Z was one of the first big names in the world of rap to openly support marriage equality, speaking out in 2012.
He described opposing marriage equality as discrimination (which it obviously is), akin to racist descrimination.
That may sound academic these days, but in 2012, Obama himself had only just begun to openly support marriage equality.
Back in 2008, and in every election beforehand, no major candidate could openly support the marriage rights of the LGBT+ community without being branded a “radical” by large portions of the electorate.
Bigotry is real, but cultures do get better over time. Little by little.
Unfortunately, there are almost certainly other women who are living Gloria Carter’s story.
Women who are raising children and afraid to come out as bi or gay because they don’t want their children to grow up with that stigma.
Because yes, homophobia persists, especially in certain communities.
By releasing this track, Jay-Z can really spread how personally this impacts him and how homophobia can ruin lives.
By coming out, Gloria Carter has made a huge step for lesbians but especially for lesbians of color, who face homophobia, racism, and misogyny.
Today is the end of June and therefore the last day of Pride Month.
Did Jay-Z drop the album last night as much because his and Beyonce’s twins, named Rumi and Sir according to reports, are alive and healthy and so he felt free to tell the story of past betrayals and miscarriages?
Did he drop it so that his mother could celebrate Coming Out on the last day of Pride?
Or did he somehow balance his and Beyonce’s twins and the month of Pride and choose today as the perfect (or last viable) day for his album’s release?
That’s genuinely impressive.
Though … Lemonade still takes the cake.
(Even though it didn’t win Album of the Year)
Lindsay Lohan"s Beach Birthday Celebration Begins Early in Greece

Beyonce Baby Names: Revealed! Kind of Weird!
Ever since the world learned that Beyonce had welcomed twins, rumors about the offsprings’ names and genders were just about everywhere on social media.
Unfortunately, numerous Beyonce baby name rumors means lots of misinformation flying around.
There’s still been no official announcement from the Carter camp, but TMZ is claiming to have obtained legal documents revealing the monikers of Queen Bey’s prince and princess.
(Yes, the site is also confirming it’s a boy and a girl.)
This is the family who gave us Blue Ivy Carter, so it should come as no surprise that the names are a long way off the beaten path.
According to trademark documents filed last week the twins’ names are …
Rumi and Sir Carter!
Filing to trademark the names of infants might be absurd for anyone who’s not Jay Z and Beyonce, but it makes perfect sense for the Carters.
It seems Jay and Bey took the precaution to ensure that no one will use their tykes’ names to cash in by using them to market:
“Fragrances, cosmetics, key chains, baby teething rings, strollers, mugs, water bottles, hair ribbons, playing cards, tote bags, sports balls and rattles and novelty items.”
“Novelty items” is a bit vague, but we suppose if you want to release, say, a line of high-end toothpastes or vitamin supplements, you’re legally in the clear.
You could also use Sir Carter as your rap name, but just know that as soon as the kid can talk, he will destroy you in lyrical combat, and your street cred will never recover from losing a battle to a toddler.
Anyway, the most important thing is that Beyonce and both babies are home, happy and healthy.
The twins remained hospitalized for several days due to unspecified health issues after their birth.
Sources inside the hospital claim both babies were showing signs of jaundice and had to spend some time “under the lights” to correct possible liver issues.
While frightening, it’s not an uncommon occurrence, and both Sir and Rumi are said to have recovered as expected.
Yes, we’re already calling them Sir and Rumi, so we’ll be pretty devastated if this rumor turns out to be inaccurate.
Not only will we have to break the habit of referring to the twins that way, we’ll have to rename our ride-sharing app that we plan to name after them.
Klay Thompson Pelvic-Thrustin" Dance Video In Chinese Shoe Shop

Internet Comes to Rescue of Bullied 9-Year Old: Read the Moving Birthday Tweets!
Twitter can be a wonderful place.
Unfortunately, there"s no place safe from bullies, and Twitter is just as full of vicious trolls as everywhere else. (And no, we don"t just mean the current President of the United States and his infamous tweets)
That"s why it is so, so nice to see Twitter used as a powerful force for good — even if the only person being directly helped is a British 9-year-old.
See, Ollie has one of those almost over-the-top bullies, as many 9-year-olds do, who wants to impress upon him that nothing that he does for his birthday could possibly measure up to the bully"s own celebrations.
We all know how that goes — some little kid wants to make another little kid feel like he can"t measure up. It"s the exact same motivation behind why adults are nasty to each other, basically.
So, Ollie"s dad Christopher took to Twitter to ask for people to ask any celebrities, major or minor, to send a pleasant birthday message in Ollie"s direction to give the 9-year-old a much-needed boost.
That"s not unreasonable — there are grown-ass adults who tweet at celebrities to ask for a birthday shout-out. This seems a great deal worthier, you know?
But Christopher and his wife Natalie clearly never expected the kind of response that they received. Take a look at these tweets, and know that we saved the best — or, at least, the most famous — for last.
1. Christopher’s tweets
These tweets by Ollie’s father, Christopher, are what started it all.
2. Stormzy’s tweet
Rapper Stormzy tweeted this out. The guy whose first album is “Gang Signs and Prayer” might not sound like the person you imagine would fight childhood bullying, but you’d clearly be wrong.
3. Regina Looby’s tweet
Regina Looby is a radio and television producer.
4. England’s tweet
To be clear, this is England the sportsball team, not England the entire country.
5. Chase Masterson’s tweet
Chase Masterson is a fairly well-known actress whose credits include The Flash, Star Trek, and the UK’s favorite timey-wimey nonsense, Doctor Who. Also she’s worked to combat bullying, so this is really no surprise.
6. Tom Bosworth’s first tweet
Tom Bosworth is clearly humble, but he’s a British racewalker who holds records for a ridiculous number of different lengths of race. And, you know, he’s an Olympian.
Joe Jackson Rushed to Hospital After Car Crash in Las Vegas

27 Times Fortune Cookies Just Plain Failed
Look.
We don"t eat fortune cookies because they taste particularly great.
Heck, sometimes we don"t even eat fortune cookies after opening them.
We really just want to read the message inside of these Chinese food treats, which is what makes the following fortunes so disappointing.
As you"re about to find out, they very clearly failed their excited reader at the time they were perused. Big time.
1. This is Not a Fortune
Unless you’re telling us that we’re about to get attacked by a bear.
2. This IS a Fortune
But it’s also just a way of saying that Chinese food is sort of a rip off.
3. For the Record:
Flying is not simple. And this is not funny!
4. Run Where?!?
Away from a bear, we assume.
5. And If We Don’t?!?
What will you do to us, huh?
6. But It Told Me To Pick Another Cookie
And then I did. And it said this. I am SO confused.
Jackson Roloff is a Major #LadiesMan" in Precious New Pic
Look out, women of the world…
… Jackson Roloff is coming for you!
So jokes Tori Roloff is an adorable new photo of the very young man, who strikes more than just a passing resemblance to his famous father in the snapshot below:
“We’re in trouble… #ladiesman,” penned Tori as a funny caption to this photo, which features Jackson making a cute face while wearing a precious hooded sweatshirt and looking far older than his six-plus weeks.
The child was born on May 12 to Tori and Zach, making him the very first grandson for Amy and Matt Roloff, the parents of four children and stars of TLC’s Little People, Big World.
Ever since this blessed occasion took place, Tori and Zach have talked candidly about their bundle of joy.
They haven’t shied away from the fact that he was born with the gene for dwarfism, speaking to People Magazine last month about the challenges this entails.
“You have to encourage a dwarf child a little more because it will take them five steps to do what others can do in two,” Zach has explained.
Afflicted with the same condition as his son, Roloff went on to say that he knew there was a fifty percent chance Jackson would be a dwarf, but obviously that never stopped him or Tori from wanting to procreate.
“I knew, dwarf or not, I was going to parent my child with the mentality that not everyone gets a trophy. You have to earn it,” he said a few weeks ago.
Men with Zach and Jackson’s gene, achondroplasia grow to an average height of 4’4″.
They enjoy a normal lifespan, but babies may have breathing problems, along with delays in muscle development.
Thus far, thankfully, Jackson appears to be happy and healthy.
On this Tuesday’s Season 13 finale of Little People, Big World, viewers got to go behind the scenes of his birth.
We witnessed Tori being understandably nervous about her impending C-section, while Zach was as comforting as a father and husband could be.
In the end, everything went smoothly and a new family member entered the world.
Jackson has already attended a soccer game and been introduced to his uncles and aunt.
Even Jacob Roloff, who has distanced himself from his relatives and who quit the reality series last summer, has stopped by the Roloff farm to meet and greet little Jackson.
And he’s clearly smitten.
“Love bein an uncle so far. Love Little Man,” wrote Jacob as a caption to the following photo in early June:
Jackson better take advantage of all this attention while he can, however.
Audrey and Jeremy Roloff are expecting their first child in September.
Look for early Season 14 episodes of Little People, Big World to center on Audrey’s pregnancy and eventual delivery.
This means that Jackson won’t be the only baby in the family any longer, but just take a look at the precious pictures below.
We have a feeling his family members will still find him pretty irresistible and cuddle-worthy…

Kaia Gerber: Cindy Crawford"s 15-Year-Old Daughter SLAMMED for Racy Pic!
Look, Kaia Gerber is an absolutely gorgeous girl.
With Cindy Crawford as a mother, she really didn’t have much of a chance to be anything else.
But while Kaia is lovely, and even though she’s been building a modeling career of her very own, she’s also only 15 years old.
It’s easy to forget her age — after all, she’s posing for magazine covers, not running around the mall and being obnoxious like most kids her age.
Still, that’s what she is: a kid.
And that’s why a whole lot of people are pretty uncomfortable with a new photo she shared on Instagram.
Here’s the pic in question:
As you can see, Kaia is only wearing a robe draped off her shoulders, and she’s clutching it in the front instead of, you know, wearing it like it’s meant to be worn.
(Robes aren’t that difficult to operate, friends.)
She captioned the photo “uniform,” which we’re sure means something to her.
But judging by her pose, it’s clear she’s trying to be at least a little provocative.
And that’s weird.
“Beautiful but I think too young for this,” one person commented on the photo “Speaking only from the perspective as a mom. Surprised your parents are on board with this seductive picture.”
Another concerned parent (not one of Kaia’s) wrote “If my 15 yr old posted his, model or not a model I would kill her. This just makes me sad.”
Kaia’s own mother got slammed for the photo, too.
“You’re too damn young to be taking such a suggestive photo,” wrote one outraged follower. “Then again this isn’t shocking seeing as the lengths your mom goes to have you make it in the industry.”
Her own fans even had some not-so-positive remarks to make — that’s how inappropriate some people found the photo to be.
“Don’t turn into one of those girls,” one such fan advised her. “You’re too good for that. Stay beautiful inside and outside.”
Another said “Ffs I like her but she’s only 15. Put on a bra and shirt, girl. I wouldn’t care if you wouldn’t be so young. Wait a few years before posting pics like that.”
And that’s only a small example of the kind of criticism she’s getting.
But, luckily for Kaia, not every comment was negative. She actually had a lot of people defending her choice to share such a scandalous photo.
“Everyone needs to chill. It’s no that serious. Let her do whatever she wants,” one person told the haters.
“What is wrong with showing shoulders?” another asked. “Damn y’all a new level of hate and stupidity.”
One person even thanked her for “showing us how to be proud of our bodies,” and told her that she’s “a great example of girl power, killing it as always.”
Do you think she crossed a line with her photo?
Javi Marroquin: Begging Kailyn Lowry to Take Him Back?!
It’s been 18 months since Kailyn Lowry and Javi Marroquin finalized their divorce, and while they seem to have worked out an amicable co-parenting relationship these days, there were some serious rough patches along the way.
Both parties have stated that the main reason they broke up was the fact that Kailyn didn’t want to have any more kids and Javi did.
So we imagine it came as quite a surprise when Kailyn revealed she’s pregnant with her third child back in February.
Kailyn is no longer dating Chris Lopez, who was recently revealed to be the father of her third kid.
So it was only a matter of time before rumors about Lowry and Marroquin getting back together began to circulate on social media.
Most of these reports have turned out to be bogus, but you can’t blame fans for jumping to conclusions based one of Javi’s latest tweets.
“All the days that I reminisce.. about the way I used to kiss them pretty lips,” Marroquin tweeted on Wednesday.
It seems that Javi was quoting a lyric from Diddy’s “I Need a Girl”, but fans took it as an indication that he’s pining for Kailyn.
After all, the song is from 2009, so quoting without providing any context does seem to suggest that the lyrics have significant personal meaning.
But it seems there’s a different set of lipe in Javi’s life these days, as he clarified to Radar Online that he was not referring to Kailyn.
“No,” he said when asked if the tweet was about Lowry.
“I wasn’t referring to her.”
Javi has admitted that he was surprised by the news of Kailyn’s pregnancy, but has not offered any insight as to how that development might affect their co-parenting relationship.
As for his future on the show that made him famous, it looks as though Javi will remain a regular cast member in the new season that debuts in July.
Lopez, on the other hand, has made it clear that he has zero interest in being a reality star, and has taken steps to ensure his name and likeness will not appear on television at all, which is likely causing headaches for MTV execs.
Watch Teen Mom 2 online now to get caught up in time for what may be the most compelling season yet.
Johnny Galecki Thanks Firefighters on Ruins of Destroyed Home
Remember when Johnny Galecki’s home was consumed by a raging wildfire?
It blazed through Galecki’s primary residence and has destroyed countless other homes and firefighters continue to combat the blaze — one all too common in Southern California’s dry climate.
He’s gone out of his way to thank firefighters, and now he’s shared a photo of what little remains of his home.
You may remember that Galecki vowed to only return to where his home once was when it was safe to do so and not before.
You’d think that this would be common sense.
Unfortunately, some people don’t have a lot of that.
They’ll go into condemned buildings and, yes, try to sneak around within a blazing wildfire or immediately in its wake.
The charred ruins of a house are not a safe place to be.
Unless the site has been cleared by experts.
In the photo below, you can see that it was definitely safe, as he’s hugging a firefighter. …
While standing on all that remains of his former home.
It’s hard to imagine losing your home like that.
You can barely tell that a house once stood there.
Yes, he’s rich, but this is his primary residence.
He captioned the photo:
“Thank you to the brothers and sisters of @calfire It is the profound risks that you accept and the sacrifices you and your families make that keep us safe.”
But he didn’t just thank the brave firefighters.
“Thanks also to the many of you who have reached out in support. It is far from lost on us here. #muchlove #movingforwardstronger”
Remember, celebrities are always conscious of the fact that they have innumerable fans.
Countless fans have reached out with their sympathies and support.
Galecki, of course, says that he is less concerned with his own losses.
(Again, he has a lot of money)
He’s more concerned about others in the area who’ve lost their homes to this same devastating fire.
Even for people whose homes are insured for fire, money matters.
Not every insurance policy pays enough.
Plus there are other expenses.
You can replace the home and perhaps even most of the things in it.
But you also need a place to live in the mean time — home construction can take months.
That’s especially challenging when a wildfire is still blazing, you know?
To say nothing of the priceless and irreplaceable items — like art, photographs, or other things of sentimental value.
Johnny Galecki acknowledges that a lot of people might think that he’s crazy for living in what some would describe as a desert hellscape.
(Me — I’m the one who would describe it that way)
But he loves living there.
Not just the climate, but living in the country, surrounded by nature.
(That part, I get … though don’t you wonder how he gets food delivered out there?)
And we guess that the others who lost their homes feel the same way.
The fact that he cares more about their losses than his own really speaks volumes about his character, you know?
No wonder Kaley Cuoco’s still crazy about him.
