Tyga and Iggy Azalea: Actually Dating?!

What happens when two has-beens lock eyes across a crowded music festival?

Well, in the case of Tyga and Iggy Azalea, it appears that they’ve decided to embark on a combination revenge romance/publicity stunt that will no doubt fail to capture the attention of their exes or their jaded former fans.

Yes, the two public figures who we could generously be described as rappers were reportedly spotted getting very friendly with one another at Coachella over the weekend.

According to Hollywood Life, T-Raww and I-G-G-Y have been an item for quite some time.

But either they were keeping it a secret, or no one 

“Tyga and Iggy have been tight for a long time—they’ve collaborated and performed together, and hung out as friends multiple times,” a source tells the outlet. 

“There’s always been an attraction between them, a definite chemistry.

The insider says Iggy and Tyga have been friends for several years, but never hooked up due to timing issues.

In other words, she was ignoring the constant Nick Young cheating rumors, and he was still riding Kylie Jenner’s coattails.

“Recently, their friendship has turned physical,” the source claims.

“They’re not at the stage of dating yet though, they’re more just friends with benefits, but it looks like it could definitely be on the cards in the future.”

Sounds like they’re in that early stage in any relationship where you get butterflies in your stomach thinking about how doing a feature for the other person’s next album might revive your long-dead music career.

Tyga, of course, has been in the news lately thanks to questions about the paternity of Kylie Jenner’s baby.

We know now that Tyga is not the father, and insiders say he’s quite upset about it.

It’s sort of a “reverse-Maury” situation. 

As for Iggy, sources say she briefly dated French Montana last year, so she only has a couple degrees of separation from the Kardashian family, herself.

We’re guessing these days, Iggy and Tyga spend long hours staring into each other’s eyes and hatching plans about how to get back into the Kard clan’s good graces.

Be careful, Kendall. It’s only a matter of time before they call you and propose a threesome.

Farrah Abraham: Actually I AM Coming Back to Teen Mom!

Just days after claiming that Teen Mom OG ratings are down because she was fired, Farrah is taking pity on the show that she believes is on its last leg — by speaking to Dr. Drew for the reunion special.

Now, she’s taken to Instagram to explain why she’s appearing, however, indirectly, on the show that she is suing for millions of dollars for wrongful termination.

There’s a lot of word salad. This is Farrah we’re talking about.

“On last HOORAH with FARRAH @teenmom @mtv April 23rd.”

It’s worth noting that most people probably don’t pronounce hoorah in a way that rhymes with Farrah, but some do. Either way, good effort.

“It’s been a great 10 year era of Farrah for Teen Mom I always make the most out of life.”

Note that she’s not saying that it’s been a great decade for her. She’s saying that the era of her has been great for the show.

Farrah’s assessments are always … breathtaking.

“And I’m so blessed I got to be that fighter, the strong women, the honest single parent, showing motherhood can be glamorous, Joy, happiness, memories & no regrets.”

“Life is a challenge but to be an advocate for a young innocent child,lead, guide, love, succeed, and give it your all is amazing, a once in a life time surprise.”

That kind of depends upon how many children you have.

She then goes on to extol her own accomplishments:

“I’m blessed I graduated high school early, graduated college with 2 degrees, started 3 companies, have an international brand from all the support. …”

Farrah’s list of claims to fame continues:

“… Became a new York times best selling author, became [an] actress, became the best Farrah I can be, & travel the globe with my daughter.”

Farrah reminds her fans and followers that, despite all of her achievements, she comes from humble origins.

“I started all of this from Council Bluffs Iowa.”

She may be forgetting that humble origins are kind of assumed … because she’s famous for becoming a mother as a teenager.

“I hope my start into my adult self from teenager to adulthood shows you as it showed me I can achieve for more [than] I could ever imagine.”

That is one hell of a sentence. It belongs in a gallery somewhere.

“God is amazing and we have not one or no thing can get in the way of our life destiny to be great!”

Another gold-star Farrah sentence.

“Life is beautiful & I’m thankful I was the (1) out of 10 teen moms statistically to over come the challenges and struggles of teen parenthood.”

That is … not a very kind thing to say about her costars.

But it does fit with her self-image, which seems to always drive her to need to see herself as the most successful at anything that she attempts.

“I want to add the struggles of being a teen parent were only half the struggles I felt.”

She then lists the other challenges that she faced.

“But the other struggles from production, being famous, being a leader, political immature s–t, the control & power trips from society really added more.”

Honestly, she might deserve some recognition for not once saying “hate crimes” during this entire rant.

“[And] I have to say I rose about all the evil and all the hate by focusing on myself, loving, growing and developing what’s next to better our world for future generations.”

Yes, Farrah is shaping the youth of tomorrow. Or something.

“I will always improve social causes and improve our world!”

This was all prompted by The Ashley‘s report that Farrah would sit down with Dr. Drew to talk about … well, her departure from the series that made her rich and famous. 

Farrah doesn’t really explain why she’s agreed to sit down for a segment that will air during the reunion special, but one wonders if she had intended to explain herself when she started.

As you can see from her post and from other things that she has written and said, sometimes Farrah’s thoughts take interesting twists and turns.

(That can happen to anyone, but Farrah in particular seems to generate word salad that has little rhyme or reason)

Perhaps she will speak a little more clearly when the world sees her chat with Dr. Drew.

Khloe Kardashian Birth: Actually Captured on Camera!

Let us be clear:

We feel very sorry for Khloe Kardashian.

How can we not, right?

The reality star has seen her entire world shattered, having discovered just one day before giving birth that Tristan Thompson slept with numerous other women while she was pregnant.

Things cannot be easy for Khloe right now.

But here’s the thing.

And this is always the thing when it comes to the Kardashian:

It’s hard to know when real emotions end and scripted emotions begin.

We make this statement because we just learned that E! cameras were on hand when Khloe gave birth early on the morning of April 12.

A Keeping Up with the Kardashians insider has confirmed as much to People Magazine, telling the publication:

“Khloe labored with [mom Kris Jenner] yesterday at the hospital. Tristan was there for the birth.

“He has practice today, but will spend as much time at the hospital as possible.”

It’s not news that Thompson was in the room when Khloe gave birth.

Nor is it news that Kim was on hand and, according to her own Twitter account, held Khloe’s legs open for the blessed event.

But it is definitely news that footage of Khloe’s birth will air at some point on Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 15.

Odds are strong that Khloe had agreed to this in a contract a long time ago.

It’s safe to assume she had no idea the awful personal twist that would occur the same week she welcomed her first kid into the world.

But still.

A development such as this causes us to wonder just how much of what we’re reading is legitimate and how much is fake.

(For the record, Entertainment Tonight writes that no actual cameramen were in the delivery room; two small cameras were simply installed inside of it.)

Prior to Khloe officially becoming a mother, multiple production sources told ET that E! producers were trying to decide how Thompson’s cheating scandal would play out on television.

They were wondering whether it would become a storyline on future episodes of the show.

Come on, though.

Is there any doubt this will be a major arc whenever the long-running reality show returns?

Months from now, E! commercials will tease the birth and the drama surrounding it as if the whole thing was conjured up by a team of writers.

Which we’re not saying is the case.

We don’t doubt that Thompson really has been cheating on Kardashian and that she is very broken up about it.

But can you blame us for looking at the scandal differently when we know that Khloe and her loved ones will eventually profit from the multiple affairs?

While we ponder this question, we wait for many others to be answered:

What will Khloe name her daughter?

Will she forgive Tristan?

Will she raise the child in Cleveland or Los Angeles?

Will the Cavaliers make it back to the NBA Finals?

Will Lamar Odom make a play for his ex-wife?

Darn it. Now we sound like TV producers previewing what’s to come, don’t we?

Tristan Thompson Actually Made a Sex Tape. We Nearly Saw It.

Note to Tristan Thompson:

You really need to be more careful when it comes to sexual partners and videotape.

Over the past couple days, it’s become evident that Thompson cheated on Khloe Kardashian (while she was pregnant!) due to the presence of recording devices.

First, Thompson was seen on security footage getting VERY close and VERY comfortable with two women at a Washington D.C. hotspot.

This occurred back in October, toward the end of Khloe’s first trimester.

Then, Thompson was seen on different security footage, entering a New York City hotel around 5 a.m. on a Sunday, leading a woman with whom he had made out earlier in the night.

This occurred at the very end of March, toward the end of Khloe’s third and final trimester.

(It’s safe to assume that Thompson later entered the woman herself, if you know what we mean by this remark.)

Meanwhile, according to The Blast, Tristan actually has experience with sex and video dating back to 2016… which is when he supposedly made a sex tape with ex-girlfriend Jordyn Craig!

She is pictured here:

The aforementioned website states that Thompson and Craig filmed their flesh pounding at some point in 2016.

The video then resurfaced in November of 2017 after Craig she it was stolen off her cellphone after she took the phone in for service

Thankfully (for her, not for Internet users), Craig was able to work with a Los Angeles-based attorney to secure the sex tape and “destroy it,” according to this source.

It adds that Thompson was aware the sex tape was out there and nearly on the market.

We do not know, however, if Khloe was ever aware such footage existed of her baby daddy.

Craig, for those not up the speed, actually gave birth herself in December of 2016 to a son she conceived with Thompson.

The Cleveland Cavaliers power forward reportedly dumped her while she was pregnant in order to date Kardashian.

Sound sort of familiar?

Shortly after this cheating scandal went viral late Tuesday night, Craig appeared to address the situation via a message on Instagram.

“If you respect yourself and you respect others, you would never make light of the misfortune of anyone, nor would you feel indemnified when it comes at the expense of others,” Craig wrote, adding simply:

“Wishing peace for everyone.”

That’s a pretty classy response, no?

She could have thrown shade. She could have taunted Khloe with some kind of I-Told-You-So reply.

Instead, she took the high road.

As for where things go from here for Thompson and Kardashian, we really have no idea.

The latter has been living in Cleveland for the past few weeks, waiting to give birth in the city in which Tristan lives.

She had every hope that he would be a hands-on father and the two would raise their little girl together, as a happy couple.

But now? After all we’ve learned about Thompson and his penis?!? Such a scenario seems impossible to envision.

Heck, can you imagine if it’s true that Thompson even knocked up one of his side pieces?

We feel very sorry for Khloe in all of this.

Heidi Montag: I Actually Died in 2009!

The reality television careers of Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are dead.

About this, there can be no debate.

But the former Hills star has come out and told Paper Magazine something shocking:

She was once also dead!

Back in late 2009, the ex-MTV personality underwent 10 plastic surgery procedures.

It was a decision she later confessed to regretting, telling multiple outlets that it was a mistake to get a nose job, breast implants and liposuction, among other surgeries.

In this new interview, we learn a large reason why.

“Spencer thought he lost me. I died for a minute. With that much surgery, I had to have 24-hour nurse care and Spencer didn’t want to leave my side,” Heidi explains.

She goes on to offer more detail of her harrowing experience:

“I was at a recovery center and had Demerol to deal with the pain because it was so extreme.”

At one point, the brand new mother recounts:

“My security guards called Spencer and told him, ‘Heidi’s heart stopped. She’s not going to make it.’

“And I easily could’ve. Cutting yourself up isn’t something I’d recommend, and Demerol isn’t anything to play around with. That’s how Michael Jackson died.”

Many years later, Montag had her size F (!!!!) breast implants removed — and spoke honestly about mistakes she had made.

“A lot of positive things came out of that. I had to look at myself in the mirror every day healing, and be like, ‘What did I do to myself? How did I get here? What is going on?’

“I basically had to hit that rock-bottom moment in my life, to realize what was important to me.”

It may seem hard to remember now, but Heidi and Spencer were sort of Kim Kardashian before there really was a Kim Kardashian.

They were EVERYwhere, sharing their life with the public and becoming A-List celebrities, despite lacking any real talent.

And most of the public hated them for it.

In actuality, however, Speidi was sort of just ahead of its time.

Think of how many reality stars now dominate the news, despite this same lack of talent.

“It’s the exact same thing, and it’s being seen by maybe even more people than what we had done,” Heidi tells Paper.

“It’s fascinating that that’s accepted now, but it was cheesy and fame-whorey when we did it.”

To be clear, Kardashian, just to use her as an example, is still a fame whore.

But it’s evident she has earned a level of respect that was never afforded to Montag or Pratt back in the day.

Not that Heidi is complaining.

We never would have said this a decade ago, but she doesn’t care about fame or fortune very much anymore.

She really just cares about one thing and one thing only: her son.

Gunner’s given me a whole new strength that I didn’t know. I feel like I am stronger than I’ve ever been emotionally. At the end of the day, I’m his mom, and that’s my main priority.”

How very mature and grounded.

We never thought we’d see the day.

The Condom Challenge is Something That"s Actually Happening

We have good news, readers:

Teens across the country are using condoms more than ever before.

But we also have some bad news:

These teens are not necessarily using the condoms for safe sex.

Instead of wrapping the condom around their penis or their partner"s penis, these people are sucking the prophylactics through their noses and then taking them out of their mouths.

No, really.

We"re not kidding:

Just like past idiotic trends such as the Tide Pods challenge, something called the "Condom Snorting Challenge" is sadly sweeping the nation.

Videos of teens doing taking this ridiculous action have been on the Internet for years, but there"s been a new proliferation in recent days.

Needless to say, although we will anyway, condoms can be a choking hazard; they can also cause appendicitis if swallowed.

Moreover, they can cause an allergic reaction… and it’s even possible that nasal passages and/or sinuses could get infected because nothing but air is supposed to pass through them.

They really are not meant to be a corridor for condoms is the point here.

Does this look remotely enjoyable?

Or comfortable? 

Or worth doing just so you can gain a few new followers on social media?

We guess the answers have to be yes, for some people out there at least.

For others, it"s simply enjoyable to sit back and make fun of these individuals.

To wit:

LOL!

Check out the video below for more on this condom challenge and to try and understand why it"s actually happening:

Tyga Actually Comments on Kylie Jenner Paternity: Is He Stormi"s Dad?!?

Tyga has finally addressed the elephant in the room.

By which we mean… the baby in the crib.

Indeed, following several weeks of speculation and innuendo, the rapper has come out and answered the most pressing question in Hollywood:

Did he actually knock up Kylie Jenner?

Is he truly the biological father of Stormi Webster?

This possibility has been on the minds of celebrity gossip followers almost since various outlets confirmed Kylie was pregnant last year.

They just couldn’t believe that a rebound such as Travis Scott would be the one to impregnate Jenner, not after all she went through in dating Tyga for about two years.

Morever, there was talk that Tyga himself was pushing for a paternity test because he believed that his sperm was responsible for fertilizing Kylie’s egg.

So… is that the case?

Is Tyga aware of these rumors and is there any truth to them?

The artist finally addressed the chatter on Twitter this week, writing:

“I’ve never said anything about someone else’s child or family insinuating my involvement; and will never do so.

“Please, Stop spreading false stories and attacking people’s families.

“I have nothing to do with any of that.”

Oh.

Well… darn.

Tyga concluded his pointed, and really pretty mature, statement by adding:

“People should be able to live in peace.”

We guess Stormi really does belong to Scott, huh?

We guess we need to accept that Tyga and Kylie are almost definitely over, which is not to say they couldn’t reconcile even if they aren’t the parents of a baby.

After all, other recent rumors allege that Tyga is desperate to get back together with his ex-girlfriend.

There have been multiple reports of him drunk dialing Kylie from the road, attempting to convince the 20-year old reality star that they are meant to be.

“He’s still blowing up her phone. He usually calls after his show when he’s had a few and his guard is down,” an insider told Hollywood Life in February, adding that Tyga “cries” during these chats and is very “lonely.”

Which is possible.

This could be the case even if he’s not the father of little Stormi.

But we have some very bad news for Tyga if this is claim is accurate:

More recent reports have stated that Jenner is shocked and thrilled that Scott is taking on such an active role in Stormi’s life.

She didn’t expect him to be so hands-on and, as a result, she wants her hands on Travis forever.

As in: Kylie supposedly wants to marry Scott. And as soon as possible, some say.

Is this allegation accurate? It’s really hard to say when it comes to Kylie and her love life.

But it does sound as though we can finally put one piece of gossip to rest:

No, Tyga did NOT bed Jenner a year ago and have unprotected sex with the rarely-clothed Instagram star. Or maybe he did! Just, no baby came from it.

Hmmm….

Donald Trump Sex Tape: Oh, God, Does It Actually Exist?

Stormy Daniels has made it very clear over the past several days:

The porn star says she will NOT be silenced about her affair with Donald Trump.

Similarly, a new rumor is making its way around the Internet that alleges Daniels was once very, very loud during a certain interaction with Donald Trump.

A certain naked interaction with Donald Trump.

A certain naked interaction with Donald Trump that was filmed on camera.

Yes, what we’re saying is this: A sex tape starring Donald Trump and Stormy Daniels may very well exist.

Such chatter is making folks cringe and vomit across social media after Daniels’ attorney, Michael Avenatti, Tweeted the following:

If ‘a picture is worth a thousand words,’ how many words is this worth?????

The mysterious caption accompanied the photo of a compact disc, implying that there’s some salacious material out there that features Trump and Daniels.

Will it ever see the light of day?

What might this disc contain?

We shudder at the thought.

Daniels, of course, is an adult entertainer who alleges that she carried on an affair with Trump back in 2006.

Trump’s own lawyer has admitted to paying Daniels $ 130,000, although he did not explicitly state this was in exchange for her silence over said affair.

Stormy and her legal team have said on many occasions that she did, indeed, sign a non-disclosure agreement after accepting this sum of money… but that is it not legally binding because Trump never signed it.

In the past few days, Daniels has made a point of keeping herself in the news in order to make it clear to the President that she isn’t going away.

The porn star has been Tweeted back and forth with critics and even claimed to have passed a lie detector test that PROVES she formerly slept with Trump.

Well, not sleep, exactly.

“Technically I didn’t sleep with the POTUS 12 years ago,” Daniels recently wrote in a pretty iconic Tweet, adding:

“There was no sleeping (hehe) and he was just a goofy reality TV star.

“But I digress…People DO care that he lied about it, had me bullied, broke laws to cover it up, etc. And PS…I am NOT going anywhere. xoxoxo.”

Daniels, it should be noted, will appear on 60 Minutes this Sunday night.

It’s very possible that her lawyer was simply drumming up interest for that interview with his above Tweet, although that doesn’t make us wonder any less to what he’s referring with this image.

Thanks to Vox, for example, which published text from the non-disclosure agreement reportedly signed by Daniels, we know that Stormy may be in possession of explicit Donald Trump material. 

These excerpts mention that Daniels agreed in 2016 to divest herself of any evidence of the affair … including “video images” and “still images.”

In other words: maybe there isn’t a sex tape.

But there may be pictures out there of Donald Trump’s penis.

God help us all.

Chris Marek Actually Speaks Out: Is He Engaged to Amy Roloff?!?

Chris Marek is tired of listening.

He’s tired of reading all those insults hurled his way via social media, as Little People, Big Word fans across the Internet accuse him of being a gold digger who is no good for Amy Roloff.

He wants to finally set the record straight.

For the first time that we can remember, Marek has actually sat down for an interview, talking in depth about his relationship with Roloff.

The pair have been together for nearly a year now and show no signs of slowing down.

Marek is a successful real estate agent who seems completely smitten and who has been accepted by all members of this close-knit family.

So, why do so many people out there hate Marek so much?

Why are there so many comments on Amy’s Instagram page that urge her to dump his sorry, no-good rear end?

Marek has no idea.

But he can at least address one rumor that continue to make its way around the Web:

Is he engaged to Roloff? Are they planned a wedding?

“No, we aren’t engaged,” Marek tells Radar Online in this exclusive Q&A, adding:

“Everything is good. Everything is strong, but not at this time.”

It does sound like something Marek has considered or would consider, however, and he even may have hinted to Radar just when the major question may be popped.

“Nothing major is happening now,” he insists, prior to dropping what some could consider a significant tease:

”But we have a cruise coming up next month – that’s the biggest thing happening in the near future that we are excited about.”

Could this big thing include a big diamond as a gift to his long-time girlfriend?!?

We can only speculate at this time.

Amy, of course, split from husband Matt Roloff back in May of 2016.

The reality stars released an amicable joint statement back then and haven’t said a single negative word about each other in the media since.

Matt has moved on himself to a woman named Caryn Chandler, yet some folks out there continue to either hope for a reconciliation or to push Amy to at least find someone other than Chris.

As we said previously, we really can’t figure out why.

Marek seems really nice!

As you can see via photos such as the one above, Chris often hangs out with Amy and her kids, which is a huge reason why we’re happy to accept him in her life.

If her children don’t have any objections, how can we?!?

The only question remaining is the one Marek answers above: Are they engaged? Okay, no.

But will they soon be engaged? It sounds possible, doesn’t it?

You can expect The Hollywood Gossip to be leading the cheering section when this blessed event does, at last, take place.

We just want Amy Roloff to be happy.

Kourtney Kardashian & Travis Barker: Are They Actually Dating?!

Some of our readers might not be old enough to remember a time when Blink-182 was the biggest thing in music, but Kourtney Kardashian certainly is, and it seems that like generations of Hot Topic shoppers before her, she has a thing for the drummer.

Yes, according to Radar Online Travis Barker is banging more than just his snare these days.

That’s our way of saying he’s having sex with Kourtney … or hoping to, anyway.

“Travis lives a couple of blocks from Kourt in the same gated community in Calabasas and their kids play together,” a source close to the situation tells Radar.

“He’s always had a bit of a thing for her.”

It seems Travis was intent on swooping in after learning that Kourtney had dumped Scott Disick for good.

After receiving word that Kourtney was dating Younes Bendjima, however, he reportedly felt that he’d “missed his chance.”

Now, however, another window of opportunity has presented itself.

And apparently, Travis has every intention of taking advantage.

Though she hasn’t made any sort of formal announcement, it looks as though Kourtney has broken up with Younes.

She recently unfollowed him on Instagram, and when fans noticed the move, she deleted her account entirely.

These days, she’s back on the ‘Gram, but tellingly, she has not re-followed Younes.

Sensing a second chance, Travis has apparently already devised a strategy.

And it seems that step one is showing Kourt that he’s more than just a drummer.

“He wants to take her for dinner at his Crossroads restaurant and wow her with all his favorite vegan dishes,” says the source.

It’s a simple, but calculated plan.

Kourtney’s last two exes are 24-year-old Younes and Scott, who has the mental age of roughly 14.

Travis is 42.

He’s built a successful career for himself as a musician, music producer, reality star, and restaurateur.

If it weren’t for Kourtney, Scott would probably be selling his plasma for pints of Thunderbird, and the resulting power imbalance always led to trouble in their relationship.

She would have no such problem with Travis, and it seems he wants her to know that.

The two of them certainly have potential as a couple.

Hopefully, Travis is on board with entering a situation where he’ll likely have to deal with a very drunk and very clingy ex.

Cynthia Nixon is Actually Running for Governor of New York

Cynthia Nixon has a message for Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall:

You women keep doing your adorable little cat fight thing.

I’m gonna go makeover an entire state, okay?

Indeed, while the latter two ex-Sex and the City stars continue to bicker over their fake friendship, Nixon has set her sights on something a bit more pressing.

The actress announced on Monday afternoon that she is running for Governor of New York.

“I love New York, and today I’m announcing my candidacy for governor. Join us,” Nixon Tweeted alongside a two-minute video just a short while ago, adding via voiceover in this video:

“New York is my home, I’ve never lived anywhere else.

“When I grew up here, it was just my mom and me in a one-bedroom, fifth floor walk-up.

“New York is where I was raised and where I’m raising my kids. I’m a proud public school graduate and a prouder public school parent.”

Sounds like she has one item on her platform (education) already checked off.

Sex and the City, of course, was filmed in The Big Apple.

One television critic after another analyzed how the location itself was as much of a character on the HBO smash hit as Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte themselves.

Continues Nixon in her campaign footage:

“I was given chances I just don’t see for most of New York’s kids today.

“Our leaders are letting us down. We are now the most unequal state in the entire country, with both incredible wealth and extreme poverty. Half the kids in our upstate cities live below the poverty line.

“How did we let this happen? I love New York. I’ve never wanted to live anywhere else, but something has to change.”

Nixon will be challenging Governor Andrew Cuomo in a Democratic primary this fall

If she wins the overall election, she’ll be the first openly gay woman to hold this position.

Her entrance in the race guarantees that Cuomo (who has over $ 30 million his campaign account and who polls list as being far ahead) will face an intra-party challenge from his fairly far left.

“We are sick of politicians who care more about headlines and power than they do about us,” Nixon says in her video.

“It can’t just be business as usual anymore.”

The Democratic primary will be held on September 13 and Nixon has already received encouragement from Rosie O’Donnell.

“CYNTHIA NIXON FOR GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK!” Tweeted the comedian after Nixon made her announcement, adding:

“#myFULLsupport – she is one of kind – brilliant – brave bold and so smart – a true leader #Nixon4NY.”

Concluded Nixon, running down more issues on which she feels strongly:

We want our government to work again, on health care, ending mass incarceration, fixing our broken subway. We are sick of politicians who care more about headlines and power than they do about us.

Do YOU agree?

Let us know below:

Should Cynthia Nixon be Governor of New York?

Yes, I’m a Miranda!Yes, she’d really help the state!No.

Grey"s Anatomy: Have Fans Actually Enacted a Boycott?

At this point in the nearly 14-season run of Grey’s Anatomy, you’d think fans would be used to cast turnover.

Over the years, viewers have been forced to say goodbye to such series regulars as Katherine Heigl, Isaiah Washington, Sandra Oh, T.R. Knight, Eric Dane and Patrick Dempsey.

Just to name a few.

Last week, however, producers confirmed that neither Sarah Drew nor Jessica Capshaw would return for Season 15, prompting some major outrage from loyal Grey’s supporters.

The former has portrayed Dr. April Kepner for nine years and the latter Dr. Arizona Robbins for a decade.

“The characters of Arizona and April are permanently woven into the fabric of Grey’s Anatomy thanks to the extraordinary work of Jessica Capshaw and Sarah Drew,” wrote executive producer Krista Vernoff upon announcing this stunning news.

She continued at the time:

“As writers, our job is to follow the stories where they want to go, and sometimes that means saying goodbye to characters we love.

“It has been a joy and a privilege to work with these phenomenally talented actresses.”

Both stars released statements in the wake of their dismissals, each handling the decision with grace and maturity.

But not all viewers have reacted the same way.

Last Thursday’s installment of Grey’s Anatomy, for example, earned a series low rating.

Last night’s installment of the drama, meanwhile, ticked up a slight bit… but was still a significant drop from previous outings this season and last season.

Does this mean the push for a boycott from a handful of fans on social media is working?

At one point over the past several days, the hashtag “#BoycottGreys went viral, as fans came together to protest yet another example of cast upheaveal on this long-running program.

Moreover, many of these same critics believe Ellen Pompeo is actually to blame for her co-stars getting the boot.

The show’s lead signed a new $ 20 million contract in January, prompting some folks out there to think no money was leftover for Drew and Capshaw.

There’s no evidence of this, of course.

ABC has said the stars were being let go for “creative reasons,” while Pompeo wasted no time at all shooting down this rude and unfair chatter.

“Its unfortunate that @DEADLINE chooses to try to pit women against each other on #InternationalWomensDay #shameonyounotme,” Tweeted Pompeo a week ago, addressing a website that implied Pompeo’s salary was related to Drew and Capshaw’s fate.

Vernoff was similarly upset over this insinuation.

Wrote the producer on Twitter:

The suggestion … that our cast changes are in any way related to Ellen Pompeo‘s salary renegotiation is wrong and hurtful and misguided.

It smacks of an old, broken, patriarchal notion that women must be pitted against each other and that one woman’s success will be costly to others.

Ellen Pompeo has not only advocated passionately for her fellow cast members, she has taken the time to educate women worldwide as to how to advocate for themselves and that must not now be twisted.

The real question in the wake of this ratings drop, of course, is this:

Will ABC actually renew Grey’s Anatomy for Season 15?

It has not done so yet.

Jessa Duggar: ACTUALLY Pregnant With Third Child?!

Lately, speculation that Jessa Duggar is pregnant with her third child has been running rampant amongst fans of her famous family.

But as the weeks and months fly by with no word from Jessa or her husband, Ben Seewald, it begins to seem less and less likely that there’s any truth to the reports.

After all, pregnancy news is the Duggars’ bread and butter.

Generally, expectant Duggar moms can’t wait to share the news with fans.

So why would Jessa and Ben keep their big news under wraps?

Obviously, the fans simply got it wrong this time, right?

Well, not necessarily …

“Jessa is definitely pregnant and will be making an announcement in April,” a source close to the family tells In Touch.

As for why the Seewalds would be so hesitant to share the news publicly, the insider says there’s a perfectly good reason for that:

“They have been keeping the news under wraps, partly because it was in the early stages and also because she did not want to take away from the news that her brother Josiah [Duggar] and Lauren [Swanson] are getting married,” the tipster claims.

Yes, it seems in an act of sisterly love (and media savvy), Jessa decided that it’s best not to overwhelm social media with a deluge of Duggar news.

And there’s certainly been no shortage of developments to keep the family’s most obsessive followers satisfied.

As many have pointed out, if the news about Jessa is true, that would mean she learned she’s expecting not long after the world found out that Jinger Duggar is pregnant.

Jinger is five months along, which means we could be looking at back-to-back Duggar births less than a month apart.

And of course, Josiah and Lauren are engaged, which means a wedding is likely on the agenda for this summer as well.

We suppose this steady stream of developments was to be expected as the eldest Duggars reached marrying and child-bearing age, but still – even Jim Bob and Michelle must be starting to feel overwhelmed.

Kailyn Lowry & Javi Marroquin: ACTUALLY Back Together?!

When Kailyn Lowry and Javi Marroquin finalized their divorce back in December of 2016, fans of the couple held out hope that they would one day reconcile.

And there were times when it looked like that might actually happen.

But more often, it seemed the best anyone could hope for was that Kail and Javi would be able to work out a civil co-parenting relationship for the sake of their son.

Recently, however, Javi remarked on his feelings toward Kail in a way that"s given fans a reason to be optimistic.

But is he simply getting their hopes up for nothing? Here"s what we know so far…

1. On Speaking Terms

After a series of rough patches, Kail and Javi are once again in communication with one another. It’s a step in the right direction, and it looks like it might be the first of many…

2. The Roughest Patch

News that Kail and Javi are working on their relationship comes on the heels of their most troubled time since they broke up. Javi briefly dated Kail’s rival, Briana DeJesus, and Ms. Lowry was understandably less than thrilled about it.

3. A Canceled Collaboration

Around that time, relations between Kail and Javi deterorated to the point that they called off a planned book collaboraton simply because they couldn’t stand to work with one another.

4. The Low Point

In the weeks that followed, Kail and Javi openly criticized one another in interviews and even their most stalwart ‘shippers were forced to concede that it looked as though all hope was lost. Worse, it seemed impossible that the exes would ever be able to cobble together some semblance of a friendship.

5. Last-Minute Miracle

Just when it looked as though Kail and Javi would never speak again, however, a surprising development gave fans a sliver of hope. Seemingly out of the blue, Javi and Briana called it quits!

6. An Interesting Motivation

Apparently, Javi and Bri broke up over her decision to undergo addtional plastic surgery. Interestingly, Kail canceled her procedure with the same doctor just a week earlier. Could the situation have made Javi realize he chose the wrong woman?
