Lani Blair Attempts to Apologize to Khloe Kardashian, Gets Brutally Shut Down
It’s been over a month since the world first learned that Tristan Thompson cheated on Khloe Kardashian.
At first, it looked as though some of Tristan’s cheating partners might attempt to cash in on their newfound fame.
Hell, one of them even took to Instagram to imply that Tristan got her pregnant.
But all these weeks later, Tristan’s companions haven’t given any interviews or inked any reality show deals.
Part of the reason for this might be lack of interest in their side of the story.
Sure, the media was foaming at the mouth to talk to Tiger Woods’ porn stares, but Tristan Thompson is not Tiger Woods.
The public is interested in Khloe’s story, and no one really wants to hear from the basketball groupies who spent the night with Tristan – including Khloe.
Tristan’s most high-profile side-piece was a stripper named Lani Blair, who’s apparently something of a big deal in the D.C. area.
At first, Lani seemed to be enjoying the attention, but she later had a change of heart and made her Instagram account private.
Now, it seems she’s experiencing a crisis of conscience and feels genuinely remorseful about hooking up with Tristan.
“Lani reached out and apologized to Khloe,” a source tells In Touch Weekly.
“She got her number from Tristan. Before she could finish, Khloe hung up,” the insider adds.
“Lani called back, left a message, and told Khloé she feels awful, won’t do it again, and basically left an honest, genuine. and heartfelt apology.”
Lani reportedly wasn’t surprised when Khloe failed to call her back, but still stands by her decision to reach out and apologize.
“She really feels bad for what she’s caused both Khloe and Tristan,” says the source.
Um … she feels bad for what she did to Tristan?!
We’re pretty sure you can rest easy on that score, Lani.
He wasn’t making those noises out of pain.
Anyway, we suppose it was nice of Lani to try and make things right, but you really can’t blame Khloe for her reaction.
Sometimes, you’re just not in the mood to chat with your husband’s mistress.

Donald Trump to Piers Morgan: Why Should I Apologize For Racist Tweets?
The campaign and presidency of Donald Trump have brought all manner of D-list boot-lickers out of the woodwork, many of whom have attempted to forge second careers out of their willingness to publicly fellate the Donald.
Scott Baio, Omarosa, Ted Nugent, and Stacey Dash are just some of the lackeys to emerge from the “where are they now?” file in hopes of winning Trump’s favor.
But of all the has-beens who have put their remnants of their reputations on the line for a man who clearly has no loyalty to his minions (ask Steve Bannon about that one) perhaps none is more perplexing than Piers Morgan.
In the States, Morgan might be best known as the guy who once co-hosted a cut-rate talent show with Sharon Osbourne, but in his native UK, he still has a career.
As the host of Good Morning Britain is basically the British equivalent of Matt Lauer … and we say that with full awareness that Lauer is a creep who was despised by his co-workers and received praise only when he announced his decision to finally go away.
On this morning’s show, Piers was as giddy as a schoolgirl, having finally secured an interview with his longtime Twitter crush, DJT.
For the most part, Morgan lobbed a bunch of softball nonsense at the president, but remarkably, he did actually broach a difficult subject by bringing up Trump’s retweets of Britain First, a bigoted hate group whose views have been universally condemned by British politicians.
Trump didn’t deny that he retweeted the group three times (“Well, three times. Boom, boom, boom. Quickly. Yeah,” he hilariously described the action), but he also refused to apologize for one of the dumbest moves of a presidency characterized solely by dumb moves.
“Here’s what’s fair: If you’re telling me they’re horrible, racist people I would certainly apologize, if you’d like me to do that. I know nothing about them,” Trump said.
When Morgan basically replied, “That’s some Palin-caliber word salad there, boss, but folks hane more finely-tuned BS detectors on this side of the pond,” Trump elaborated thusly:
“I don’t want to be involved with people like that. But you’re telling me about these people because I know nothing about these people.”
That was apparently good enough for Piers who took to Twitter after the interview to declare that Trump had “publicly apologised.”
Now, obviously, dumb Trump tweets are nothing new, but the Britain First links took things to a dangerous new level, as for the first time, the president was presenting an immediate physical threat to civilians of an allied nation.
Britain First followers have been known to engage in racially-charged hate crimes, and when their views are legitimized by none other than the president of the United States, it makes life measurably more dangerous for civilians in the UK and throughout the world.
As this week’s CNN threats reminded us, the president’s words have real-world consequences, and what’s nothing more than a petty social media feud to Trump is a literal call to arms for some of his followers.
But hey, if his apology is good enough for Piers Morgan, were sure it’s good enough to quell the homicidal rage of a heavily-armed far-right militia group.

Brad Pitt: Did He Apologize to Jennifer Aniston For Angelina Jolie Affair?
It feels like a lifetime ago that Brad Pitt left Jennifer Aniston to pursue a scandalous romance with his Mr. & Mrs. Smith co-star, Angelina Jolie.
In case you recently emerged from a decade-long coma, it didn’t work out, and Pitt and Jolie separated last year after 10 years and 40,000 kids together.
The split has apparently had a transformative effect on Brad, who says he’s taken time to re-evaluate his life and priorities.
In May, Pitt revealed that he’d quit drinking after more than 30 years of heavy boozing and regular recreational drug use.
Pitt says during his time in rehab he reflected on the relationships in his life in new light.
Most rehabilitation programs encourage patients to accept responsibility for their past actions, and sources say the actor has done exactly that.
According to Life & Style, Pitt went so far as to reach out and apologize to Aniston for being unfaithful during their marriage.
“Brad apologized for all the heartbreak,” an insider revealed.
“He doesn’t usually open up like that, but through therapy and recovery, he’s learned to express his feelings. He addressed all the hurt he caused her.”
Obviously, Jen – who these days is married to actor Justin Theroux – could have chosen to be petty and gloat about Pitt’s recent difficulties, but insiders say she was gracious and supportive throughout the conversation.
“She was really won over by his apology,” a source tells the tabloid.
“A new era has begun for them.”
“She was incredibly receptive to the amends he was making. She told him she forgives him and to focus on the future,” a second source claims.
While it’s difficult to imagine Brad making that phone call after so many years, but the move would make sense in the context of what he says he’s learned in rehab.
Speaking to GQ about his newly-sober life, Brad says he’s learned a great deal about the ways in which the actions of the past stay with us, and he hopes to pass those lessons along to his kids.
“Well, there’s a lot to tell them because there’s understanding the future, there’s understanding the immediate moment and why we’re at this point, and then it brings up a lot of issues from the past that we haven’t talked about,” he told GQ.
“So our focus is that everyone comes out stronger and better people — there is no other outcome.”

The Real Housewives of Potomac Season 2 Episode 9 Recap: Did Gizelle Apologize?
Gizelle was not impressed by the way Monique handled her lake house party, but could anyone really blame Monique for icing her out?
Gizelle has been so hostile to Monique ever since she joined the series and it’s been awful to watch. On The Real Housewives of Potomac Season 2 Episode 9, the communication between the women only got worse.
When the episode got underway, the ladies had lunch, while rehashing the events of the season thus far. Gizelle made it her mission to drag Monique’s name through the mud.
The other ladies looked on in shock at the way she was acting, but there was nothing they could do to shut her up. Gizelle prides herself in being the Ice Queen of the group.
While Monique was focusing her efforts on her latest luxury party, Charrisse and Karen continued to chat about the idea of having all of the ladies hit up Bermuda.
They got a lot of time to talk about it because they were stuck in traffic as they made their way to the party. Monique was pissed because the caterer was also running late, so it was not the best day.
The party went off without a hitch, and that’s because Gizelle was nowhere in sight. That woman has got to be one of the biggest troublemakers in reality TV.
Anyway.
Charrisse and Karen struggled to stay friendly when they bickered over which one of them came up with the trip to Bermuda. It was sad, pointless argument that proved these ladies could argue with the furniture if they were alone.
When the bickering continued, each lady decided it would be best if they each got to plan one day of the trip. It was surprisingly mature. Maybe they could all make friends in the future.
Meanwhile, Robyn was still trying to make sense of her failing relationship with Juan. She made her way to a therapist for some guidance.
The therapist was surprisingly direct about the way things were going in Robyn’s life and told her she needed to love herself, or she would never find a healthy relationship.
This made Robyn realize that she could move on from Juan and find someone else to love. However, this is Robyn, and she changes her mind as often as Gizelle storms out of a room in a fit of rage.
Robyn was not the only one having relationship woes. Ashley was trying to juggle her relationship and her failing restaurant. She decided to have a party and invited critics along to sample the new menu.
It received roaring reviews from the critics, something that made her very happy. While that went well, she and Michael struggled to have a conversation.
The two went on a pottery course together and confessed their love to one another, but Ashley was adamant about not having children. This irked Michael and may have put their relationship woes back to square one.
What did you think of all the drama?
Sound off below!

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 7 Episode 17 Recap: Who Did Erika Girardi Apologize To?
Did Dorit take cocaine with her gal pals at Lisa Rinna’s party?
That was one of the more pressing questions on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 7 Episode 17 as the bickering between the ladies hit crazy new heights.
When the episode got underway, the ladies were still going at it, with Dorit turning on the water works to claim she was not the type of person Rinna tried to imply.
“Rinna just gets so upset that you just don’t know what she’s going to pull out of that bag of hers, but it’s going to be one sharp dagger,” Kyle Richards said to the camera.
“I saw what I saw, and that behavior speaks pretty loudly,” Rinna said to the camera.
The next day, Lisa Vanderpump decided to play peacemaker and visited Rinna to say she felt she was horrible to Dorit.
Vanderpump invited Rinna to a wine tasting at her house to see if she and Dorit could make things right with each other.
“Maybe she could apologize to Dorit because she’s really been kind of a bitch to her, to be honest,” Vanderpump said to the camera.
While Rinna escaped to Philadephia for a work commitment, the other ladies embarked on a shopping trip, but Eden’s strange behavior continued.
Eden decided to latch on to Erika and tried to buy her a friendship ring.
“I don’t understand why you’re buying me this ring,” Erika said, confused.
“Because I love you!” Eden screamed back. “Just say thank you, and ‘I love you, too."”
Yeah, there’s something odd about the way Eden tries to make nice with the ladies.
Some time later, Erika, Eileen, and Kyle met for lunch. Erika wanted to apologize for the way she behaved towards Eileen.
“I’m sorry that I had a meltdown on you at the table. I apologize. It has nothing to do with you. I was stressed out, and those words are very sensitive to me, so I had a meltdown,” she said.
“I was tired, and I was exhausted from that fight [with Dorit] and from trying to take the high road — and then I took the low road,” Erika giggled.
“I’m not sure that Dorit is sincere,” Erika said.
“I’m not sure that either she or PK understand what they’ve done.”
Meanwhile, Dorit met with PK and told him about the cocaine claims. He called her “schizophrenic” before taking aim at Erika.
“I’m not calling her husband!” he said.
“She should call her husband because she doesn’t see him very often. Check in. ‘How you doing, Tom?’ It’s been six months.”
Is it just us, or does PK seem like someone who is stuck in high school? Grow the eff up.
Lisa Vanderpump’s lavish party finally arrived, and the ladies struggled to stick to the dress code. Apparently, red, pink and diamonds were part of the dress code.
That’s a typical LVP party right there. Vanderpump noticed Dorit was acting strangely. Dorit revealed the tension amongst the group of ladies was getting to her.
Surprisingly, there was no cliffhanger. Everything seemed to go well, but there’s still one more episode left this season for all the drama to go down.
What do you think will happen?

Tim Allen: Shamed for Nazi Comments, Urged to Apologize
Tim Allen was already an unfunny comedian prior to sitting down for an interview with Jimmy Kimmel last week.
But then the actor went ahead and compared modern society to the Holocaust, actually claiming that Republicans in Hollywood these days have something in common with Jews in Nazi-occupied Germany…
… and now he’s gone from merely being unfunny to becoming a national embarrassment.
Appearing Thursday on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Allen discussed attending Donald Trump’s inauguration and offered his thoughts on the polarizing political climate.
As one of the few Conservatives in show business, he told the host and his audience:
“You gotta be real careful around here. You get beat up if you don’t believe what everybody believes. This is like ’30s Germany.”
Yes, like ’30s Germany. When it was run by Adolf Hitler. And when millions of Jewish people were rounded up, thrown into concentration camps and killed by the Nazi regime.
You can see Allen make these actual, real-life comments in the video below:
In response to these remarks, hopefully any level-headed human being was aghast and appalled.
But the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect has specifically called out Allen for what it has deemed to be his “deeply offensive characterization” of the situation, adding in further detail, via a statement from the organization’s executive director:
“Tim, have you lost your mind?
“No one in Hollywood today is subjecting you or anyone else to what the Nazis imposed on Jews in the 1930s – the world’s most evil program of dehumanization, imprisonment and mass brutality, implemented by an entire national government, as the prelude for the genocide of nearly an entire people.”
The statement concluded:
“Sorry, Tim, that’s just not the same as getting turned down for a movie role.
“It’s time for you to leave your bubble to apologize to the Jewish people and, to be sure, the other peoples also targeted by the Nazis.”
That pretty much says it all, but it’s still worth emphasizing:
1. Over six millions people were killed in the Holocaust. As far we we know, not a single Republican has been killed in Hollywood for expressing his or her viewpoint.
2. Allen is (somehow) STILL working on the ABC sitcom Last Man Standing. It’s filmed over 100 episodes!
3. He’s been the voice of Buzz Lightyear in all three Toy Story films. He starred in one of the most beloved shows of its era, Home Improvement, during the mid-1990s.
In other words: The guy is not hurting for work.
This would be a ridiculous, inappropriate, hurtful statement to make by anyone.
But it’s especially off-base and tone deaf when coming from an actor who has been regular employed (and VERY well compensated) for well over 20 years.
The Anne Frank Center is named after the young Jewish girl who kept a now-published diary while hiding from the Nazis and says its mission is to call out “prejudice” in the world.
The group also “counters discrimination and advocates for the kinder and fairer world of which Anne Frank dreamed.”
Allen is yet to speak out on his controversial quip.
But he’d be well-served to issue a mea culpa and move on.
What a stupid thing to say.
Can the world just agree to cease all comparisons to the Holocaust on a grand scale?
Until a dictator comes into power and starts rounding up individuals from a certain ethnicity for mass imprisonment and slaughter, NOTHING is like 1930s Germany, okay?
